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.

Salad

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.

Clark’s Seafood and Chop House

For our last night in the Myrtle Beach area, we decided to go to Clark’s Seafood and Chop House. Clark’s is located at the Myrtle Beach Yacht Club, Little River South Carolina. The Yacht Club area is a very nice place to shop as well as to eat.

Again we enjoy sitting outside when ever possible and Clark’s offers great seating and great views.

The menu at Clark’s Seafood has something for everyone.  We got to pick from fresh seafood, to steaks, to hamburgers.

Menu

For starters we decided to try something new.  We ordered She Grab Soup.  Having heard about for ever we decided it was time to try it.

The soup was a great idea for the cool evening. After the soup we had a salad. The House Salad is a good choice. It comes with egg, pecans and warm bacon and ham. You will also notice the bread.

For our meals we went in very different directions.  My wife chose a special, which was a salmon and pasta dish.

I on the other hand went with the Honey Bourbon Chicken Sandwich.  A chicken breast with a bourbon sauce, cheese, onions, tomato and bourbon glazed bacon.

It makes me hungry just typing that.

By the time we had finished, the sun had set and the views had changed.

When in Myrtle Beach try something different. Drive out to Little River and give Clark’s Seafood and Chop House a try. Allow your self time to walk around and visit all they have to offer. The area and food are very different  from Calabash and Murrell’s Inlet but different is good it allows everyone to find what they are looking for.
