The Greenbrier

My wife and I loved the Greenbriar. Atmosphere apon walking was not you average steak house. It felt like we stepped into someone's hunting cabin deep in the woods. No loud music, we'll lit but not too bright. Staff were very helpful when we didnt have a reservation we were welcomed to the seating in the bar area and it did not disappoint either. Our waiter was very knowledgeable of the menus and answered all of our questions without hesitation and with kindness and respect. We enjoyed 3 cocktails from the bar which were prepared correctly from the taste and appearance of them. We ordered one of the dry aged porterhoise steaks that they are well known for. We enjoyed the house "spoon bread" which was like a buttery corn bread while we waited on our main course. The potatoes and brussel sprouts were tasty sides to the steak and everything was cooked perfectly. I would recommend the Greenbriar to anyone visiting Gatlinburg looking for a nice restaurant to sit down and have a nice but not always cheap meal. (Not a bad thing)

From the moment you walk in, service is exceptional , staff is welcoming and the restaurant itself is immaculate and just gorgeous even in the winter . The food and drinks were phenomenal. Our server Jesse was knowledgeable, attentive, charming and kept up with multiple tables on beat. We had the house cornbread and the naan with baked pistachio goat cheese - delicious! My husband had the ribeye and I opted for the filet , both just melted in your mouth and flavor profiles were great. I had the Dylan and it was surprisingly very good , I loved the dark cherries, they were like candy. Coffee crème brûlée was THE BEST we have ever tried. Overall, it was a truly memorable experience and I would love to go back the next time we are in Gatlinburg.

Best restaurant I’ve ever been. Worth every dollar spent. They gave us a table that was separated from others which gave us privacy and comfort to talk with each other. They brought us cornbread as courtesy which was soft and sweet. Later, the wine and drinks arrived and we waited around 25 for our steaks to be cooked. I asked for a medium well ribeye and was absolutely delicious. For dessert, we had crème brûlée and it’s been the best one I’ve ever tried so I would recommend that one a lot. Pricey? Yes but 100% worthy. This place is perfect for a special occasion. If you want to impress your wife, this is the place to go to. By the way, there are weird vibes in the place, possibly because of the ghost that lives in there, feels kind of scary after they tell you the story of the restaurant.

Awesome dinner with my family for my Dads 71st birthday. We have been coming here for years and absolutely love the new look. We had the Meatballs as an appetizer and the cornbread is some of the best we have ever had!!! I got the Beef Wellington with a wedge salad and a twice baked potato! Delicious!!! Everyone at our table enjoyed their meals. Our waiter Joe was awesome! Can’t wait to come back again and sit outside around the firepit

My fiancée took me here for my birthday, can’t say that I was disappointed at all. We started with corn bread and I will usually not for me but wow theirs slays. The atmosphere of this place is super romantic and warm, impeccable service. I got the beef Wellington very good, my fiancée got the chicken also delicious, server recommended great wines to pair. For dessert we shared the almond joy cheesecake, I paired with the Dylan cocktail that comes with a fun show. Totally recommend for a special occasion.

This was by far the best experience I’ve had in a long time! The fire pit was great to sit and have a drink at while waiting for our table. The food was perfectly executed. We started the Duck and Dumplings and the Pork Belly. The pork belly was cooked to perfection and the strawberries were marinated well. The nuts took the dish to another level. The duck and dumplings was a great earthy flavor and the consommé was clarified perfectly and full of flavor. The house salad vinaigrette was full of flavor and everything you could want from a salad. The short rib lasagna soup did not offer much in the way of texture, but was full of flavor. The lemon sorbet was the perfect combination of sweet and sour. An amazing pallet cleanser. My husband got the ribeye and twice baked potato. The steak was seasoned and cooked well. The twice baked potato was creamy and cheesy. I got the beef Wellington, let me tell you that it exceeded every expectation. Also, the demi glaze was something I will dream about. They surprised us with roses and dessert for our 5th anniversary. The chocolate pots de creme was rich and dark exactly what you look for in that dessert (this was my favorite thing to make back when I was a chef so that’s saying something.) The cherry bread pudding was everything my husband looks for in a dessert. The cherry ice cream on top was executed flawlessly. All of my cocktails were on point and worked well with the menu. Our server was sweet and attentive. I appreciated the way that she seemed to take care of us like we were her only table. There are not enough good things to say about The Greenbrier!

Hands-down the BEST restaurant to have a nice fine-dining experience in the Gatlinburg area. We visited for my boyfriend’s birthday and everything was a 10/10. We started with the seared scallops, Tobin’s tuna, & oysters on the half shell. I could not tell you which was my favorite because they were all that good!! We split the porterhouse steak and some sides as well. Steak was cooked perfectly to order & had an amazing chargrill on the outside. We were given a coffee crème brûlée as a complimentary birthday dessert & it was delicious. Our service was great as well and the environment of the restaurant was super cozy, with perfect lighting & a fire pit outside. Would love to go back and visit again next time we are in town!

In town for christmas vacation and we had reservations for 19 people. They took our reservation months in advance when other restaurants would not. We had a private room and had a once in a lifetime experience. We lost a young teenage family member this year, so this trip and dinner was special to our family. Our waiter was very patient with our large party, got every order correct and every course was presented beautifully. I can't say enough great thing about this restaurant. Beautiful, spectacular and food so good it will melt in your mouth. Thank you!

UNREAL MEAL!!!! Can't say enough good things about this place. So so so many gluten free options as well!

What a disappointment. I made a reservation here months in advance for dinner on my husband's birthday. They seated us at the lousiest table in the restaurant, across from the Guam service station and next to the kitchen door. We asked to be relocated and we're told we could not be accommodated despite there being at least a dozen empty tables at that exact moment. The manager's response was "most people are happy with that table." Which I found so odd. One, I find that hard to believe. Do a lot of people put up with that table? Sure. And had we not been celebrating a special occasion, we probably would have, too. Two, does it matter what most people think if we are unhappy with the table? Imagine addressing any other customer concern with "this doesn't bother most people." We were completely bummed and it was going to color the entire evening, so we decided to go elsewhere. Customer service is clearly not a priority at Greenbrier.

We love The Greenbriar! Discovered it by accident a few years ago and it's now a must have experience whenever we come to Gatlinburg. Awesome food and a great restaurant!

Loved the food here. Was a bit busy when I arrived so I recommend making a reservation. Otherwise, you'll be waiting a while to order and to eat. We had to wait a while to order but our waiter recognized this and gave us a complimentary cornbread dish which was absolutely amazing. All is forgiven Drinks are great. Love the ambiance both inside and outside. I would try this place if you want something other than the typical grits and fried chicken. This is a bit more upscale.

Incredible all around. Sat at the bar with Andrea who was absolutely phenomenal. Delicious food, great ambiance and atmosphere with excellent service.

This place was amazing!! Had the bone-in ribeye with the brussel sprouts. Man was it delicious!! Arguably the best brussel sprouts I've had. Then ended the dinner with a bourbon and cigar next to the fire. The bartender gave great service. Then the rustic country cabin vibe topped off the night! Will definitely make a point to come back every time I'm in town. Highly recommend!!!!

My husband and I loved everything about this place! We were celebrating our anniversary and it was the perfect place to do that. Our dinner was excellent. After dinner went outside and sat by the fire pit and had some old fashions. The service was excellent and the ambiance too. Definitely would recommend!

Easily the best restaurant in Gatlinburg. Off the main drag and a little hard to find. The bone in ribeye was tender and flavorful. The Salmon was huge and perfect also. The waitress was awesome. The ambience was perfect. I wouldn't change anything around all. Just make sure you make reservations on RESY a few weeks in advance.

Nice place. Wifey and I came here while staying in Gatlinburg. Short drive from the main part of town. Ambience is nice. Very mountain lodgey. Lots of wood, candle lights, relaxing. Bar area is cool. We had ourselves a drink while waiting for a seat. Bartenders were top notch. The Dylan is their "famous" cocktail. It's a solid drink. They prepare it in front of you. Basically, a version of an Old Fashioned. Ok. Food. We both opted for the filet. I got mine medium rare. Very likely the best filet I have had...and I've had a few of 'em. Just cooked to perfection, tender, moist. Like butter. Got the tartare app. Just ok. Brussells sprouts - excellent. Mushroom risotto - solid. House salad - excellent. Service. Excellent. Everyone from the hostess, our waitress, the bartenders were on it. Prices - very reasonable for what you get. All in all, we will come back no doubt.

Where do I begin....this was one of my top five favorite meals I've ever had. Hidden slightly above downtown Gatlinburg is a hidden log cabin esque building. You walk in to what feels like your home. It's warm, cozy, yet still intimate. We got a rez, which I recommend. We started with a cocktail, the Lydia martini for me and the house old fashioned for the hubs. But incredible in taste and presentation. We were given the house sweet cornbread in a little Skillet. Light and a great start. Entrees come with soup or salad and we both had the Caesar. Perfect portion size. For our meals I chose the salmon and risotto which was out of this world. The salmon portion was large and perfectly cooked. The butternut squash purée was a great balance to the crispy skin. I wish there had been more! Our waitress was fantastic. She paced our meal well and was very attentive. 10/10 would go back immediately.

What a treat! The Greenbrier is a beautiful spot with high class southern charm, pleasant and capable staff and an outstanding cocktail program. We loved our dinner and found it to be a welcome respite from the otherwise chaotic atmosphere of Gatlinburg. Highly recommended!!!

It's hard to find quiet, intimate & rustic fine dining in the uber busy Gatlinburg area. Chef Jennifer was manning the host stand when we arrived for a late last minute reservation. She couldn't locate it so I brought up my email only to learn that I had made the reservation for the wrong date. She & the host worked diligently to accommodate us at a low top in the bar area. We reluctantly chose not to order from the delightfully described appetizers. Complementary spoon bread was a perfect appetite whetter. Soup or salad accompany entrees and the Potato Corn soup was amazing. Similarly, the Bleu Cheese wedge was perfect in size as well as flavor. Tami's medium rare Wellington was succulently juicy and flavorfully rich encrusted in a beautifully browned pastry. The plate of colorful carrots was a well conceived side. My flaky Halibut loin presented with roasted potato medallions sitting atop steamed broccolini over a roasted tomato coulis. The flavors melded perfectly. So sated at the late hour, we skipped, again with difficulty, the incredible sounding crème brûlée. Chef Jennifer came to our table and we enjoyed a delightful and protracted conversation. In summation, we will most definitely come back and should you wind your way here, you absolutely must try this gustatory gem.

This place is so cool! It looks like a mountain lodge and is part fancy restaurant part upscale, yet laidback, bar. Did not get a chance to try the food this visit as we stopped in for a quick drink but had the most delicious cocktail called The Dylan. WOW! I see why it's the most famous cocktail in the G. What an amazing drink and so well constructed. Our bartender thoroughly explained how the flavors and components marry together. The decor here is also extremely unique and fun to look at. I loved the lounge area. Outdoor patio is also very cozy and cool with a large fire pit. A must experience!

Love the atmosphere and the restaurant is away from a commercial complex. Our waiter/bartender was also very friendly and welcoming. I would absolutely order the Dylan Old Fashioned again. Everything we ordered was good honestly. I've never had fresh cornbread made in a cast iron before and now I'm hooked.

Great ambiance, great service, and the food--everything we had was presented well and excellent! I'd definitely go back if I visit the area again! I really loved feeling like I was in a fancy lodge in the countryside. The server saw us the following evening in a neighboring town and approached us to say hello. I thought that was so nice.

Hey, really exceptional dinner, so glad we found this Jim. You go way up the hill in the middle of nowhere, and come across this former hunting lodge turned restaurant. Beautiful view, interesting building, terrific service. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ate, even got a dessert, even though we were super full and took most of it home along with half of our other items as well. They were even good the next day!

Absolutely phenomenal experience at The Greenbrier. Not only did we love our food but the service was incredible. Our server "Zach" is without a doubt the best server we have ever had . He made the experience unforgettable. He was so kind and courteous. He explained everything perfectly , recommended perfect wine, had a great attitude, he was a true southern gentleman. The ambiance of the Greenbrier is unmatched. Such a cozy , romantic vibe here . The food is unlike any other place. It's not just a restaurant but an experience. We had the meatballs for an appetizer , one entree of the lamb shank and truffle Mac and cheese and one entree of the duck and grits . Finished with a dessert of crème brûlée.

BEST RESTAURANT IN GATLINBURG!!!! If you're ever in the area you HAVE to check this place out! Originally came here because they have a drink named after me, the "Lydia" it's a delicious lemon drop martini with a little bit of lavender and it's delicious! The food is even better! From appetizers to entrees to desserts this place nails it every time! 10/10 recommend! This is literally the best food I've ever eaten

Simply outstanding. Old fashioned class and excellence. The food was great; the drinks were amazing. The service was impeccable. A true classic.

Definitely recommend this restaurant for a nice steak paired with a really good crab cake. The appetizer were really good as well. The service was nice and the waiting time after we made reservations was not long at all. The ambiance is a dim mellow cabin feel, not to noisy and not to quiet. A lot of parking in front with a walk up area.

Beautiful restaurant for a special date night! My husband and I went for our 1st anniversary. I would highly suggest reserving a table whether you call in or do it online. Tyler was our server and he had some amazing recommendations for our whiskey and cocktail options. We ordered 5 drinks . The Dylan and the Crockett were excellent choices. We had the pork chop and New York strip (aged for 30 days) and it was amazing. Absolutely worth it. The food was filling and everything was so well executed. We will be back again!

This restaurant I won't forget. First off, service was very nice and super informative on the menu, we really appreciate it! Second, drinks were so unique, and my husband ordered the whiskey, the oak barrel aged, and it was spectacular! Food was so good, I loved the oysters appetizers! Vibe was great being surrounded by greenery. Would definitely come again!

We went here for our Anniversary dinner, and it didn't disappoint. Let me start off by saying sorry I did not get any pictures :( Cocktails: Lydia: My drink -Kind of like a lemon drop martini with lavender, I really enjoyed it, was refreshing with a nice presentation. Dylan: My husbands drink - WHAT A PRESENTATION!!! The smoke, the black cherry ice spheres. I'm not a fan of old fashions but I had to try it, and it was amazing! My husband absolutely loved it. Passion Fruit Sparkler: My sister in law ordered this drink - the edible pearls were a very nice touch, this drink was packed with flavor, highly recommend. Entrees: I ordered the 7oz filet cooked medium rare, and it came out as just that. It was very flavorful and a nice chunk of meat! Had the twice baked potato which had garlic, chives, tillamook cheddar (anything tillamook is heavenly) and sour cream, SO GOOD!!! Also ordered the garlic citrus shrimp skewer to go with it. Shrimps were very flavorful and not overcooked. Also a good size. Husband ordered the bone in rib eye medium rare, came out a little overcooked but he said the flavors on it were delicious and didn't feel the need to say anything about the cook. He also got the scallops to go with it, they were wrapped in bacon. There was 3 of them, and he said the 3rd one tasted a little fishy and was a little put off by that. But the other two (and piece I tried) were good & cooked nicely. He also ordered the mushroom risotto - cooked to perfection and seasoned nicely. Overall - Great experience here, I wish I remembered our waiters name as he was a lot of fun and made our dining experience a great one. Very glad we came across this place and decided to get a reservation. Quick tip - If you are thinking about going - Book early - this place fills up fast!!! Kudo's Greenbrier for a great anniversary dinner!

4/25/2024. Vacation visit. Love the location. Love the decor. Love the twisty drive uphill. Love all the staff. Late call for a reservation after long day in the smokies, needed protein. They accommodated us in the bar at 8:30pm. We arrived at 8:15ish and were seated immediately. The very dirty Ketel one martini and bambu & coke were perfection. Kudos to the bartender. The spoon bread was unique and tasty. The 3 steaks we ordered were perfectly seasoned and cooked. The fries my picky eater son ordered came out as a huge pile on a large plate which we all loved. Totally great meal. Thank you

This dining spot has been just a great experience every time. Wonderful ambiance, attentive service, and tasty foods to match. The welcoming atmosphere and experienced staff set the stage for a memorable dinner, every time. Each dish was a delightful treat, showcasing Southern flare, fresh ingredients, and skillful preparation. Whether you're a local or just passing through Gatlinburg, Greenbriar Restaurant is a must-visit. I can't wait to return and explore more items from their menu!

On dec28th 2024 We visited this restaurant on the holidays. I made a reservation. We got early there to our reservation. They sat us at a table. When I sat down the table had an AC vent that was blowing so hard on us that the menus would move. I reached out to the hostess and asked if maybe the vent could be closed closed or the direction of the vent changed. She looked at me as if I had a horn coming out of my forehead and said there is nothing that she can do so I said can you find me another table then because I cannot eat there her answer to me was that the restaurant was booked I reminded her that I had a reservation. She turned to the table in question and advise me that my reservation was for that table. Basically, I had a reservation for a specific table I guess. Ridiculous and rude. I've never heard of that before. I think she was just being rude and unaccommodating. I requested to speak to the manager within five minutes a waitress came up to us and said she had another table for us the waitress was very kind. The food was amazing. The cocktails were great but as far as the hostess or the manager whoever that woman was in the front that seats you older woman she needs to be retrained or removed because I was very kind in my request and the rest of the night no one was sat at that table so obviously they did not want to repeat the situation with someone else and when you have a reservation, you don't tell someone that the reservations for a specific table. I have dined in restaurants around the world, fine dining, Michelin star and that's what I thought I was going to this night. Obviously this woman is the dark stain on a beautiful diamond of a restaurant . The restaurant was great. She needs to be removed. Should you visit that restaurant and they sit you at a table that feels like your in a blizzard speak up and change tables. You as a customer do nit have to dine uncomfortable because the hostess is having a bad day. By the way, the ribeye was perfectly cooked. Amazing I say go to the restaurant and just don't sit in the table with the wind. Because of that experience, she ruined mine so I can't get this restaurant a fire which I would for the ambience for the food for the cocktails. I'm gonna have to give it to three and I'd give the host as a zero.

The young man tending the bar said he was relatively new, however he provided excellent service and was very knowledgeable. We had the Dylan and the Hemingway Daiquiri. Both were food. Once seated for our reservation we waited, in my opinion, quite long for the waiter to acknowledge us. Though he tended to the couple behind us several times. He was personable enough however. Husband had the Wellington which he said was ok, not amazing, just ok. I had the Duet of Beef. I did not care for it. To be honest the meal felt as if it was just warmed up after being cooked perhaps days before. The potato mash was in serious need of butter, cream and garlic. For the price and the reviews I expected a lot more.

We went to The Greenbrier Restaurant in Gatlinburg TN to celebrate my wife's 50th birthday and it didn't disappoint. The service was amazing as was the environment. We had such detailed attentive service. We will recommend it to everyone and anyone. Just make sure you have a few hundred dollars ready to be spent.

Terrific establishment! The bar was beautiful and carried a variety of liquor. We enjoyed the moody atmosphere. The meals were delicious. The duck was outstanding!

This our go to restaurant when we visit Gatlinburg. Our absolute favorite, food and service is always amazing

This is our favorite place for dinner! Always awesome service and a really nice atmosphere. Everything we had was excellent and cooked perfectly as ordered. Oysters and scallops area must !

What a gem! The food was great! They provide you with warm spoon bread for the table and in between salads and entry they give you a pallet cleanser. I really like the house salad and the dressing was unique and really liked it. My husband and I both got steak and they were great! The inside and house of the building was very nice. They have fire lamps and a large fire pit to get a drink and cigar if you like. The service was great. This will be on our list to go back when we visit.

We try to come here every year for the last 3 years. Love the setting of small cabin feel, quaint setting for couples or small parties celebrating special occasions. Reservations are required. They pay attention to details such as wiping the water spots off wine glasses. The service from David was great. He explained everything. The menu has changed from previous year. It seems more focus on the steaks. Note that there is not a vegetarian option as the main course. Started with request off which was a summer drink special that resembled a pina colada with toasted coconut rim which definitely reminded me of summer. The chopped salad side salad with house vinaigrette was on point. The spoon bread was brought out to start. I think some type of sweet whipped butter would make it perfect. It the texture of cornbread but the butter melting on it just needs some sweetness. The lobster risotto was delicious tender and buttery but the portion of risotto was significantly more than the lobster. The goat cheese was intense and I would highly recommend only if you're a goat cheese fan. It was too strong tasting. David took care of the goat cheese since we didn't eat it even though we didn't expect or ask for it. Dumplings appetizer consisted of 5 dumplings and was good. The duck was the entree and duck was prepared medium rare which was great but I didn't care for the smoked cheddar grits with it. We always leave here full and despite not having steak this time, the atmosphere and service is always a welcoming experience.

The food was spectacular and service even better. We immediately were seated even though we were an hour early for our reservation. The dining area is cozy and comfortable. You can see the attention to detail of this addition that was added to the space. The continuity of the gas lanterns, wood and overall architecture was done to make this room seamless from the original structure. However, the lighting isn't really bright enough to read the menu without using a phone flashlight. The bar area is bright and open, with a lot of options for seating in a leisure area or belly up to the bar. There is an outdoor seating area with a fire pit and a cigar smoking area as well. The bar sports I've 120 varieties of bourbon and whiskey. The menu has great options for starters and entrees. Accompanied by a large selections of wines, specialty cocktails and as mentioned a huge selection of spirits. We enjoyed tomato bisque soup and salad to start, with a wonderful homemade lemon sorbet as a palate cleanser. Then can the main course, chicken masala and scallops with pea purée and a corn and edamame succotash from local farm grown vegetables. While the menu may have been a bit expensive for some, it was a great experience for our date night while visiting Gatlinburg. Very off the beaten path and away from the hustle and bustle of the Downton Gatlinburg strip.

The Greenbrier Reataurant is a fantastic, romantic restaurant just outside of downtown Gatlinburg. We wanted a nice place celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary, and they did not disappoint! Our cocktails and food were incredible and they nail the upscale food while still be approachable. If you're looking for a go to restaurant for a date night, this is it! Get the custard brûlée dessert, they brought this out for us on the house for our anniversary and it was one of the best desserts I've ever had!

First class all the way at Greenbrier. Setting, ambiance, service and food were top shelf. Memorable evening we will not soon forget!

Excellent Food, excellent service, accommodating special diet requirements. Six of us for a celebration dinner while on vacation found this gem of fine dining. Excellent experience! Sorry no photos.

The Greenbrier is such a peaceful place. Just a couple minutes from the madness of downtown Gatlinburg, but a world away in feel. Their famous Dylan cocktail is well worth it. It's a fun presentation, and more importantly, it's an excellent version of an old fashioned. Highly recommend trying. also had a draft beer at the bar before dinner, and thought they had a nice selection of drafts. We split the french onion meatballs as a starter. Interesting and flavorful, but rather heavy and dense. The tuna was perfectly seared, served rare, sliced on a pool of broth with noodles and vegetables. It was very attractive and well thought out, but surprisingly under-seasoned. The wife's pork chop looked beautiful, though she said it was very tough and chewy. She did comment that the grits it came on were great, and she is not at all a grits person. With 4 stars, I'm giving them extra credit for the wonderful location, the cocktails, and how imaginative and well thought out the dishes were. But the dishes we tried were all somewhat flawed, so we agreed that we'd likely pass on the Greenbrier next time we're in Gatlinburg.

The Greenbrier appears to be somewhat of a hidden gem. Tucked away in the woods, the ambience is inviting and picturesque. The real candles and fire pit finish the look. Our drink (the Dylan and Pomegranate Sparkler) were perfect in style and substance. The spoon bread that comes with the meal is delicious. Even the palate cleansing lemon sorbet was amazing. Salmon was a tiny bit overcooked but excellent just the same. Definitely recommend

Such a gem! Beautiful ambiance with all the gas lanterns and picture windows. It feels like you're in a tree house. The food and service were top notch. My husband ordered a steak and I, the salmon. Both portions were substantial, I even had to get a to-go box. Definitely recommend, especially for date night!

We have been here a couple times and it has been a great dining experience both times. Great rustic atmosphere with easy parking. Amazing service, the bar can get a little hectic but once you get to the dining rooms you will have very attentive service. This trip I ordered a 6oz filet medium and mashed potatoes. The steak was perfection. Cooked to order with just a hint of a crust on the outside that only super high heat will give you. The mash was really good, but not the star of the show. It was our anniversary so we got a rose and a dessert that was a very nice touch. If you are in town for a special occasion and want a special experience I recommend this location. Side note on steaks in Gatlinburg: On this trip we ate at The Peddler and The Greenbriar back to back, they are 2 different experiences. I had a filet cooked medium at both locations. The prices are comparable the atmospheres are completely different and the steaks are prepared in different ways. One is not better than the other, they are each good in their own way.

AMAZING and PHENOMENAL dining experience. The wait staff was subpar and the food was excellent. We are making this our yearly tradition to come here ! We love it so much!

We came here Friday night, and were so blown away we came back Sunday night. Still blown away! Every single thing we ate was incredible! The bone in rib eyes... 10+. I ordered grilled shrimp tonight, a la carte, another winner! My husband tried the bone in strip; it was as good as the bone in ribeye. The wedge and Caesar salads are amazing, and the spoon bread they bring is so good! You have to try The Dylan, their signature cocktail; it's an experience, as well as an incredible drink. I'm not enchanted by Gatlinburg as a whole, but I would come back to get to eat at Greenbrier again! The service was as good as the food, and the ambience is rustic, romantic, and very comfortable.

The food and drinks were outstanding!! Our waiter was very personable and professional and the overall feel of the place was so elegant. honestly not as pricey as i assumed it would be

Hit up a new spot tonight in Gatlinburg, new to us at least. We've come here for over 20 years annually and didn't know it even existed since its off the main strip and tucked away. A random tiktok led me to find it and I saw the menu and made reservations immediately. I can't recommend this place enough. Let me first start by commending our server, Hannah. She was not only well trained but very personable and friendly. The atmosphere was quiet and comfortable with just enough lighting. To the food, we started with the seared scallops. So packed full of flavor. Never had ones quite like that and I've been missing out. After that was a traditional ceasar salad, followed by sorbet to prepare for entrees. It was pretty dang good too. As you can see, Beef Wellington was my choice. I can not get this where I live and the only restaurants that carry it, do so seasonally and sell out quickly. Not a menu item. He, it'sts on the menu and why I even made the reservation. It was delicious. Really didn't even need a knife it was so tender. We were too stuffed to do dessert but they sounded great. For any glutenfree folks out there, most of their menu is GF and desserts. This place was quite memorable and only our yearly list now to visit when we come to town. Thanks for a great evening. .

Food. Service. Ambiance. Says it all. This is now and forever our favorite restaurant. Both my wife and I said we'd stay in Gatlinburg just to go have dinner at The Greenbrier.

Ah, The Greenbriar in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Nestled amidst the smoky majesty of the Great Smoky Mountains, it's a haven of Southern charm and culinary delights--what better time to experience it than at Christmas? Walking into The Greenbriar is like stepping into a cozy Christmas fairytale. The warm glow of fairy lights twinkles overhead, casting a soft hue on the exposed brick walls and rustic wooden beams. The air is filled with the tantalizing aroma of roasting meats and spices, a symphony that promises a feast for the senses. Our waiter, Tyler, greeted us with a smile as warm as the crackling fireplace in the restaurant's center. He exuded Southern hospitality, and his recommendations were spot-on, guiding us through the menu with the expertise of a seasoned Christmas elf. I opted for the Carolina trout stuffed with mushroom duxelles served over red pepper beurre blanc and roasted asparagus for my dinner. If you will, imagine delicate mountain trout, its flesh flaky and sweet, each bite a delightful dance on the tongue. But the pièce de résistance, the show's undisputed star, was Chef Jason's Beef Wellington. Picture this: a tenderloin of filet mignon, cooked to a perfect medium-rare, swaddled in a crispy puff pastry crust that glistened like burnished gold. The buttery and flaky pastry revealed the juicy pink meat within culinary artistry. Andy said each forkful was an explosion of savory flavors, the richness of the beef perfectly balanced by the earthy mushrooms and the hint of Dijon mustard. It was, without a doubt, a miracle on a plate. No meal is complete without a toast, and what better way to raise a glass than with The Greenbriar's signature Cocktail, The Dylan! This festive concoction began with raw pecans lit on fire on an oak wine barrel stave, the fire extinguished, and a snifter glass is washed with pecan smoke, black cherry ice spheres are dropped into a smoke-washed snifter, and finally, Heaven's Door TN bourbon, house-made Madagascar vanilla bean syrup, & bitters with black cherries. The balance is beautiful with the smoky sweetness of the bourbon and pecans. As we stepped out into the crisp mountain air, our bellies full and heart's content, we knew we had experienced something exceptional. The Greenbriar had woven its magic, transporting us to a world of cheer and culinary excellence. It was a Christmas to remember, a testament to the power of good food, good company, and the timeless spirit of the season. So, if you're ever in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, do yourself a favor and make a reservation at The Greenbriar. Ask for Tyler, savor Chef Jason's culinary mastery, and raise a glass of the Dylan to a Christmas well spent. Just be sure to make your reservations early - this gem will be booked solid all season long!

This place is the most amazing date night spot in the area. You get there by driving up a steep road in the woods and when it feels like it's not the right way, you're almost there! The parking lot appears out of nowhere and you walk through the fire lit entrance and down the path to the entrance. The place is intimate, dimly lit and backs up to the forest behind you. Our waiter was wonderful, he took the time to chat with us and we had fun with our smoked whiskey. It was dinner and a show! The food was amazing. We got steaks and they were seasoned and cooked perfectly. The wine pairing was delicious with it. It was getting late in the evening and for half the meal it was like we had the place to ourselves. I couldn't imagine a more perfect date night in the area. The service, food and ambiance were top notch. We will be back!!!

We enjoyed celebrating our 4th Anniversary at The Greenbrier! The service was incredible and I love that they actually give you time between courses to enjoy every bite of their gourmet masterpieces without feeling rushed. We ordered the Foie Gras with Scallops which was a perfect French dish!
