The Greenbrier Restaurant Gatlinburg’s hidden treasure

The Greenbrier Restaurant is not a place you drive by and decide to stop. Instead it is located at 370 Newman Road, the Restaurant is a destination. On our trip back to Gatlinburg and Treetops Resort, we decided to eat at the Greenbrier.

We loved the location of the restaurant the design and the staff but it is the food that will bring you back.  As you enter you see information about the food offered and specials.

 

Food Information

The Greenbrier starts  your meal with  Spoon Bread, which is like a corn bread. It came in a hot pan with a nice scoop of butter on top of it.  The bread was a little undercooked I thought but it was good and came with a spoon to dip it out so the texture may have been as planned.

For starters we decided to try the Cheese Board.  After eating the Cheese Board or at least most of it we both agree that it would be nice to come back after a light meal and have it again while enjoying the restaurant’s ambiance.

 In addition to the grilled bread and cheese, we received our salads.

The salads were good.  Had the rest of the food been less I would have talked more about the salads. Finally for my meal I ordered Pork with a berry sauce off of the specials menu. My side was the Herb Smashed Potatoes.

Both of these were really good.  The Pork was cooked just right meaning done but not dry.  Herb Smashed Potatoes were however unbelievable good.  My wife ordered the Salmon with a side of Asparagus.

The Greenbrier Restaurant is a great place to eat.  Food is great and the atmosphere is wonderful. 

Enjoying the Greenbrier

 If you can find this hidden treasure in mountains around Gatlinburg, you certainly have to give it a try. We recommend getting there early enough to be able to enjoy meal but allowing time take advantage of Walker’s Union and the fire pit afterward.

Dino’s House of Pancakes Myrtle Beach

Dino’s House of Pancakes Myrtle Beach is the best place for breakfast.  Dino’s is a small family ran business, but it has great food and service. I would say just about everyone working there is somehow related to Dino. When pulling into the parking lot you will see a normal size building.

When you enter you will be greeted and treated like a friend.  In fact if you notice around the room will be a lot of Dino’s friends and neighbors. The locals all ways know the best places to eat. November and December are great times to visit Myrtle Beach as you can see in the photo.

Inside Dino’s

Dino’s breakfast is a wide range from eggs to breakfast sandwiches and finally the star, pancakes.  The last time we were at Dino’s I had eggs and pancakes, where as my wife had the vegetarian omelete.   Before that we had French toast and eggs.

 This time around we both chose eggs benedict with Has browns. As you can see they looked great and I started to eat before I took the picture. They were great I have never had any that were better. We could not ask for better service. At Dino’s they are family and if you visit them, they will treat you like you are a part of the family. Where as I like certain restaurants and want to go to them, Dino’s is a must go to.
