Where to Eat and Drink Near Great Smoky Mountains National Park | Eater
"It’s all about grass-fed beef and boozy shakes at this casual downtown joint, nestled inside an airy, brick-lined space that feels like an elongated garage. Starters and sides tick off Southern comfort boxes, with snacks like fried green tomatoes and pimento cheese, but the stars are the burgers, stacked on brioche buns with toppings like bacon jam, bourbon-caramelized onions, corn salsa, and beef chili. Non-beef options include a bison burger, a fried chicken sandwich, and a smoked salmon sandwich with lemon dill sauce. To drink, the full bar specializes in bourbon and whiskey along with simple cocktails, but after dinner enjoy one of the spiked shakes. They’re boozy desserts in a glass: The Cobbler contains fresh blueberries, graham cracker crumbs, and Tito’s vodka, while the Boozy S’mores conjures campfire flavors with marshmallow vodka, chocolate syrup, and graham crackers." - Matt Kirouac
