Great food, daily specials, lots of smoked options, including pecan pie! Plus you get to eat on a bus. He does not serve beer but does not mind if you bring your own. His hours are unpredictable so call first.

The Greenbrier Restaurant is a food and spirits outpost located in Gatlenburg. It is an upscale bar and restaurant. They have an extensive wine and whiskey menu. I suggest going to the bar, grab a cocktail and checking the place out. The historic building and view is really cool.

This is an old wedding chapel turned into a cool bar. They host many local breweries with a rotation of beers on tap. It's a beautiful drive through the park and the Abbey right along a river which is fun to explore.
