The restaurant is tucked into a nice wooded area near the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. There is outdoor seating available, a firepit area with make your own smores, and indoor seating which is where we dined. We were greeted as soon as we entered and waited at the bar where Ian served us (he was great) until our reservation time (doubt we could have got in without the reservation). The bar had a huge selection of bourbon including many allocated bottles. My wife had a spicy margarita which she loved. We were promptly seated at our reservation time. Our server, David, brought us some of their famous cornbread it reminded me of couple of pieces of cake except it was cornbread with a delicious sorghum syrup and whipped butter. It was unique and delicious. We started with trio of dips - sharp cheddar pimento cheese, butter bean hummus, and my favorite smoked salmon rillette. These were served with sea salt crackers and pickled vegetables. It was all tasty and the smoke salmon had so much flavor. I had delicious thick cut pork chop topped with peach and jalapeno jam. It was cooked perfectly, tender and juicy and the topping added a fantastic spicy tang. The sides were charred baby carrots, green beans, a spoonbread with red-eye gravy and red pepper emulsion. My wife had a filet with bearnaise sauce and Yukon potatoes with cauliflower, sweet peppers, mushrooms and braised onions. It was cooked exactly as ordered with such a great taste and so tender. David brought my with a complementary piece of pie made with Cruze Farm buttermilk topped with berries and a lemon drizzle. It was a fantastic experience and we were so happy with everything. Everything was pricey for the area, but well worth it for what we received.

However, I didn't like the food at all. Wanting fish but not catfish, I ordered the mahi mahi tacos, and didn't even touch two of the tacos. The fish was dry and flavorless, and the salsa on top didn't help much as it also didn't have anything to it. Mahi mahi is tough to do right, and this one was no exception. My friend commented their grilled chicken on the salad was also dry and flavorless. While I love the atmosphere being right on the dock and taking part in trivia, I didn't have a good experience with the food.

Soooo good! Our waitress Corrina was excellent with recommendations!!! Your meals also come with a cup of homemade potato soup which was delicious as well! I got The meatloaf and because I'm not a big mashed potatoes fan, they let me sub them for another side when I picked fried okra and Mac and cheese for my sides! My fiancée got the pork chops, mashed potatoes and he also got fried okra! This is a good sized restaurant with beautiful wooden tables and chairs! Big cozy fireplace in the back of the restaurant for the winter months or cool days! We will be eating here again!

I wanted to like the place a lot more than I did, but it had some serious drawbacks. This restaurant is set up like an old farmhouse with wooden chairs, tables, and floors. There is nothing to deaden the noise, so the place is very loud and uncomfortable. My wife couldn't wait to get out of the place. I ordered the smokehouse sampler which comes with two eggs, sugar cured ham, bacon, sausage, gravy, biscuit, grits, and potatoes. With all of that listing, you would expect a lot of food. It wasn't. I felt like there should have been more on my plate for that much money. Oh, well. Lesson learned. My wife had the biscuits and gravy with bacon which was fine. The food that we received was fine, but nothing special. Our server was nice, but she spoke so softly that I could not hear her over all of the noise. She also had to be prompted multiple times to bring a refill. All in all, this place was a real turn-em and burn-em kind of loud place that we probably won't return to.

We were a party of six, and everybody seemed very happy with their meals. Service was fine, ambience and noise level fine. Menu is similar or same as at other locations, with many choices and lots of variety on apps, entrees, sides and desserts. I was disappointed in one thing....the gumbo they served. The base was not at all like a roux should be; it was much more like the tomato-based sauce often used in soups. It was tasty, but anyone ordering a gumbo because they want the real thing will be sorely disappointed. Still, we'd go back any time for a nice meal.

The cheeseburger was amazing and a perfect comfort burger. The Ruben was rich and flavorful, while still being juicy and amazing sauerkraut. Wings were saucy and fried perfectly with no excessive batter on them, just a crunchy skin. Lastly, the prime rib was juicy and the horse radish sauce and au jus was brothy and rich. Fries were perfectly fried as well and beer was icy cold. To top it all off, Lou was the BEST server we have ever had. Our group of 7 was never low on drinks, and the food was ran as soon as the bell was rung. We will be visiting again strictly for the Lou experience. If you're looking for a quick place to eat with great service and amazing food, my group and I will always recommend Bec's. Cheers to Gatlinburg, TN!!!!!!!!

I was driving…read moredown the parkway and wasn't sure what to eat when I glanced to the side and saw a building with my name on it. With a cool interior design, Paloma offers some delicious Mexican food. To start, I had the Paloma Guacamole, fresh and tasty. They give you the choice of blue or yellow corn tortillas, which you can taste and are freshly made. I also tried their white sangria, which was refreshing and delicious. I had their Yuca Fries and a Pork Carnitas Taco. Their food was delicious and had great flavor; however, I found their prices a bit steep, $6 for a single taco was kind of wild to me. Overall, Paloma was good. The service was kind and the food was good.

It wasn't that busy but the 3 workers were running around...I mean 3 seated tables! Eventually, our order was taken (also breakfast). We asked 3 times for extra cream for the coffee. The coffee arrived after the food without extra cream. Wife likes a lot - we let it go. I specifically asked for no syrup on my french toast. Well, you probably know what happened here - syrup on the french toast. We did mention the syrup and the server offered to change it and claimed he/she did submit our request. I declined...I used to work in the food business and it's burned in to my brain to not send food back. The food was pretty good and the server was trying but seemed overwhelmed.
