Where to Eat and Drink Near Great Smoky Mountains National Park | Eater

"About 45 minutes north of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Sevierville is quieter and less touristy than Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. It’s also a town with a rich, longstanding agricultural legacy, which lives on at Five Oaks Farm Kitchen. The grounds outside the restaurant are garnished with tractors and trucks, while the interior of the enormous farmhouse dining room features lofty ceilings, wooden chandeliers, and communal picnic tables. In the morning, breakfast means fried pork chops smothered in sausage gravy and eggs scrambled with pecan-smoked bacon. Lunch and dinner take advantage of the adjoining smokehouse for barbecue-focused fare, such as hickory-smoked chicken and prime rib of beef with grated horseradish mustard and au jus." - Matt Kirouac
