"With a legacy dating back almost a century, Applewood Farmhouse reigns as Sevierville’s oldest independent restaurant. It’s in a historic barn building amid rows of apple trees, so naturally, apples are front and center in offerings like apple juleps, apple-cinnamon muffins, and apple fritters. Meanwhile, Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant and Applewood Farmhouse Grill, two adjacent all-day restaurants created to meet customer demand, peddle mountain-friendly fare like ham biscuits, chicken and dumplings, and crispy chicken livers with cream gravy. Nestled on vast acreage of fruitful farmland, the farmhouses-turned-restaurants have earned their reputation as pastoral fantasy spots." - Matt Kirouac
