The place was clean, well lit, and perfect for conversation over tasty food and beverages. We ordered chicken wings, and a pizza. It was all very tasty, the chicken wings were relatively large as well. Super flavorful and moist, yet fully cooked. Next time I stay in Townsend, this will be a must-visit location.

The Peaceful Side Social is an excellent craft beer/food gathering spot in Townsend. Whether…read moreyou've been hiking all day in the sun, tubing in the river, or cruising around Cades Cove, this is the place to refill and recharge. This was my first time here and I was very pleased. The menu is diverse, with chicken, pizza, beef tenderloin bites, soups and stew, salads, fries, great soft drinks and sweet tea. Photos of the menus are posted. The only thing they don't have is hamburgers/cheeseburgers but their food is flavorful and next time I will try the beef stew. They also have a craft brew selection for your perusal.

We also had the cornbread pea salad, which was also very good. The meals come with cornbread. The drinks were great. They had specialty cocktails and would make anything we wanted. The service was good too. We sat inside, but I think it would be fun to be outside. We came with friends who are vegetarian and they didn't feel like they were very many options for them, although they did have the vegetarian pasta. Many of the sauces and dressings have bacon in them, so our friends couldn't order that.

Yikes! I'm honestly…read morenot sure where to start and really hate leaving a two star review for a family run business in a small town, but I really do think they need to take a look at their business model. If anything, I hope that this review helps the owners to reconsider some of their offerings. First off, there are multiple cars parked in the parking lot making the average passer buyer think that the restaurant is extremely busy. It does seem like they are known for their Italian food, but they also offered breakfast. First off, I don't like anything special for breakfast. I am very happy with scrambled eggs, a biscuit, bacon I ordered just that, scrambled eggs, a biscuit, and bacon. It was honestly horrendous. Again, I really hate saying this because I know that it's family run and in a small town, but I think they need to reevaluate the breakfast situation. I know that breakfast food is pretty bland, but this was beyond bland and not worth the money. The girl that was seating people that morning was not friendly at all, and we didn't even know that we were supposed to follow her. I definitely hope that their Italian is better than the breakfast, and maybe they should reevaluate the business model. Overall, I do not recommend, we probably would've been better just having breakfast at the campsite.

We were greeted right away and were able to take a table. Small dining area, with very limited seating. Nice warm cozy vibe including Bob Ross on the tv. The food came out quickly. Hot and fresh. I got the Snoring Bear Breakfast. I chose the Cajun seasoning for the tilapia and it was a lil bland. I probably could have asked for more seasoning, so that's on me. The rest was great. Eggs cooked to perfection. My wife chose the fish platter and she said the fish was delicious. The fries were a lil over seasoned and she had to rub some of the fries off. As for the drinks, cans of Coke, Sprite, etc are $1.99 each. A lil pricey but it is clearly marked on the menu. My only complaint is I ordered a water and was charged 50 cents. It's not listed anywhere on the menu, so I was surprised to see it on my bill. Overall, I would probably stop here again for a quick bite if I'm in the area. Nice little place, and the service is great!

My wife ordered the Reuben sandwich and really liked it. I ordered the beef stroganoff, and was pretty seriously disappointed. The sauce seemed like it had almost no sour cream, and it was relatively small, almost like a side dish. That being said, our friends enjoyed their food, but except for the Reuben, it did not seem like anything special. The service was very enthusiastic, but I still felt like we weren't getting adequate attention. Probably because of the closed door.
