Reuben Rolls: A+
Jennifer J.

Great food & atmosphere! The Reuben Rolls are DELICIOUS! The parmesan cheese on top is a little weird and unnecessary, but it is easily wiped off. Hubby ended up getting the sampler as his meal just so he could have more and try more things. The fried pickles are great. The beer cheese is top notch. The wings...were okay. They were very soft. I like my wings crisp. If I were to get more, I'd ask for them well done. I got the fish & chips. I think serving it on brown paper that can absorb grease so the fries aren't sitting in grease would elevate the order, but both them and the fish were VERY GOOD. Plenty of parking and clean bathrooms. We'll be back!

What a little gem! Great local pub! Wonderful food had Philly steak with sweet potatoes hubby had the Ruben with fresh cut fries. Great selection of beer on tap with full bar!

Awesome late-night find! My wife got the BCB Burger and couldn't stop raving about it. I had the chicken fingers and fries -- crispy and hot, just how I like them. Quick service, great food, and a chill atmosphere. Definitely recommend for a casual night out.

Depending on what you're looking for this place could go a few ways. Before 8pm-ish you should consider it a pub/restaurant that is no problem to bring a family. After 8pm-ish it is strictly a bar and you should NOT consider bringing a family. We visited on a Wednesday around 2pm with 6 year old in tow. Honestly the place surpassed my expectations and we were pleased. The bartender/server was very friendly, quick, efficient, and we wanted for nothing. The burgers were both fantastic, and the beers were cheap and cold. They even had a kids menu. If you're in the area, looking for a no frills, no wait service, this is your spot. Don't expect the Taj Mahal here, but don't be afraid to give them a try.

Go see Jeff, Best to ever "do it!" You see the shovel...scoop scoop!

Excellent reuben...and the fresh cut fries...dannngg so good, so hot, so seasoned! Absolutely a recommend great atmosphere. Clean restroom!

Dirty dishes piling up at bar

Good food for sure, but that's all that I have good to say. The restaurant is filthy. The blinds on the windows are covered in dust, and dirty dishes are left piled up on the bar. Takes a very long time to get your food as well as a long time just to get the bill. If you're coming for lunch, be prepared to listen to rave music on full blast.

We ordered food to go from here. I had a Reuben and fries, no complaints on the sandwich. Service was pretty fast and everyone was helpful.

Wifi, a power outlet (against the wall next to the cooler) and a great selection of beers. Yes,…read moreit's five stars for me because I was able to spent a very pleasant evening here writing up Yelp reviews and basically enjoying their air conditioning. This is a friendly sort of watering hole. A bit boisterous at times as the twice-weekly free poker match was underway but it's clearly a bunch of locals as there was a birthday cake and a card circulated (Which I signed - happy birthday, Tyler!). The beers were cold and it was a great time. [Review 1176 of 2024 - 492 in Tennessee - 22199 overall]

While in the area was looking for a local place having karaoke and we found this place on Yelp…read morewhich was surprisingly 10 minutes from our hotel in an unassuming strip mall. It has a small outdoor covered area in the front with tables. Was a very cute venue inside with tons of different craft beers on tap and in cans/bottles in a huge open refrigerated case and they also served food. We sat at a table and a server came over and pointed to a card on the table with a SKU code to scan for the menu and said orders were placed at the bar. I had wished that the servers took our order at the table as I really didn't want to scream my order over all the bar patrons. Anyway, I went up to the bar and the bartender/server acknowledged me and took my order and she brought it to our table fairly quickly. They said it was free refills on soda which was great. The karaoke set up was great and the DJ was engaging. We enjoyed all of the singers. It wasn't super crowded so there was room to move and you didn't have to push past people or squeeze through a crowd to get to the bar or the restroom which I appreciated. Also the tables were spaced out well. All in all we had a great time and will be back when in the area.

Probably one of my favorite restaurants in the area, Rampant Lion is clearly a family-run business…read morethat focuses on making social connections over quick get-food-and-go. It's pretty cool. I would never come here if I was in a hurry, but if you have 2+ hours to eat and want good food in a storied place with staff who will treat you like friends, you're going to love the Rampant Lion. NOTES: -In rural TN, it should not surprise you, but be aware that they have Trump displays in the restaurant. -The restrooms are single stall and accessed from outdoor. They're indoor restrooms - just the door to access them is on the outside. (No porta potties) They're solidly clean - just make sure to pack clothing that works for the temperature outside because you might be dipping outside a few times. -Parking lot is small and gravel. Relatively easy to get in and out of though. -Amazing gin selection with staff that *clearly* knows their gins. -Adorable photos of the owners on slideshow of their trip to Europe on the wall. It's adorably and clearly a couple who was on a good vacation. We've had a good chunk of their menu at this point. Pretzels: Delicious beer chese AND delicious pretzels. Quite a bit of food with this too. Bread, Oil, & Vinegar: Wasn't super fond of this one. A ton of oil in a bowl made it hard to get the right oil-to-vinegar ratio. Chicken Pie: Deliciously breaded with super-tasty french fries too. Served piping hot, so it took a bit to be able to eat it without burning myself but a wait well-made. Reuben: Partner absolutely loved it and said the bread was the absolute perfect consistency. SO much meat in there too (though he said it could use a bit of extra dressing). Bubbles and Squeak: Delicious. Just delicious. Zero notes, you should eat it. Beanie Weenies: Home-made right in the restaurant! My favorite thing on the menu. Super savory, semi-healthy (beans...at least?), and served super warm. Comfort food at its finest. Menu in-restaurant was different than online one on a few things.

The Rampant Lion was an amazing surprise! Tucked away in the Glades Road area of Gatlinburg, it…read moredelivered the best restaurant meal I've had in a long time. The beef and mushroom pie with chips was savory and mouthwatering, with portions large enough for leftovers that reheated perfectly. The fish and chips were crispy and flavorful, cooked just right. A big selection of beer completed the authentic pub experience and paired perfectly with the hearty food. Every dish felt comforting and thoughtfully prepared, and the service matched the quality of the meal. This place is absolutely worth seeking out if you're visiting Gatlinburg.

An authentic British pub that definitely feels like a go-to spot for a lot of the locals. You'll…read moreavoid a lot of the tourist traffic here with its unique vibe, and you'll come away with a memory of "that cute British pub" when it's all over. NOTES: -This place is run on bare bones staff. I'd guess maybe two cooks and the single server. It is not a place to come if you need quick service or quick food. They're very friendly (even if you're not a local!), but definitely come when you have a lot of extra time. -This place is not accessible in the slightest. You'll need to go up two flights of very steep stairs to make it to the front door. The stairs are on the old side, and I was concerned about one breaking. There is no elevator. -The parking lot is relatively small and shared with a nearby Urgent Care. It's gravel and grass, and people mostly made their "own" spot where they wanted. As this made for a haphazard parking lot with small margins for cars, I wouldn't let a newer driver park here. PROS: -Lots of unique British dishes. We've never seen somewhere serving Bubbles and Squeak and lots of other dishes. If you're not familiar with niche British dishes, you'll probably have to pull out your cell phone to figure out what some of this stuff is - and that's really fun. -Food is really good. It tastes like food-your-mom-would-make instead of gourmet takes on these dishes. It has a really authentic, small business vibe to it. -Unique beers on tap too. You aren't going to find Bud Light or Miller Lite on tap here. All of their beers are unique pub fare. They do offer some of the American favorites in a can/bottle, but this is a great excuse to try beers you wouldn't normally have access too. -Despite the older age of the building, the bathrooms are very modern and very clean. Most gas station bathrooms are in worse shape than the ones here. CONS: -It's definitely a small, "small margins" business, and all of the cons that go along with that. Food took awhile, upcharge for using a credit card, non-focal dishes may have been frozen/reheated/canned, and parking was difficult. That all being said, we're looking to come back again, and the atmosphere (and the taste of their unique star dishes) make it one of those places you'll actually talk about when you're done with your trip instead of forgetting that morning you simply went to Denny's to scarf down pancakes.

Good choices. Limited food but for tourist area very nice vibe…read more Drinks high though and no specials I believe it will be better
