We decided on this place for convenience and trip advisor reviews. We elected for the wings and BLT with fries. Carolina Reaper wings were cooked right and were very tangy. The BLT with the beer batter fries were great. Service was on spot with no complaints. Also this is a Pet friendly location with a few dogs present.

Zero stars! The lady who greeted us was not very happy that she had to give us a table of our choice (outside) and in an empty restaurant made us wait outside. The way he treated us definitely doesn't like people with accents and other colors! After all, there was nothing to grill on the menu at this “grill restaurant”. We drank a beer and went to lunch at another restaurant where they definitely know how to do business !

Everywhere we looked (their website, google, TripAdvisor) have them closing at 10. We arrived around 9:20 on a Saturday night, and after waiting outside for 10 minutes, someone finally rudely told us they were closed. They had plenty of people still there drinking, so I guess they just decided to close early.

This place had Great tasting burgers. Cheaper than other places. Five dollar draft beers. Hard working staff. Would go back again.

This is off the main strip. Got confused at first how to enter this place. A bit of a weird set up. Staff wasn’t super friendly, but they weren’t rude. Would eat here again

Our waiter was very very nice. We just stopped in for a sandwich, we sat on the patio, it was quiet and relaxing. I had the sloppy joe sandwich, it was huge and delicious, the beer batter fries were decent, crunchy.

Got the Sloppy Jethro! Delicious. I wasn't real crazy about the battered fries, but my son liked them. He had the Dying Man sandwich and ate it all, so I'm assuming it was good too. The staff was really nice and friendly. The day was very rainy and messy, it was a nice dry warm place to get out of the weather.

This quaint little restaurant is literally at the end of an alley. We went down the alley to look at various shops and this is literally at the end of the alley and upon looking at the menu, the names of the dishes are so cute that we had to try it.We couldn’t make up her mind on which appetizer to order so we tried the corn fritters and the fried pickles. My girlfriend had never had corn fritters before and she really loved them. They were very light and just a little salty but crunchy on the outside and the sweet this of the cream corn balanced it out perfectly.The fried pickles were also perfectly fried and were crispy on the outside but still moist and juicy on the inside.I ordered the Hillbilly Philly, Which is their version of the traditional Philly cheesesteak sandwich. They used brisket which was very flavorful and the au jus dipping sauce was a perfect complement.Each of those main courses comes with a choice of two sides and I picked the loaded potato salad and their season baked beans.My girlfriend ordered the BYOB. Build Your Own Bologna sandwich. She ordered the home style green beans and loaded potato salad for sides.

Good food, chill atmosphere, great prices & staff. Got chili, chips & salsa and Hippie & Cowboys IPA. If you have to go dt Gatlinburg, go here. Def beats all those other overpriced, over hyped, over crowded restaurants.

This place is excellent! Best burgers and chicken in town. Skip the big places and come here. It’s a hidden gem with a great setting and atmosphere. 5 stars!!!
