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.

Ole Red Gatlinburg Tennessee

I was at Ole Red in Gatlinburg Tennessee a couple of weeks ago. It was my first time to go to Ole Red. The restaurant has live music most of the day. The day I went Justin Mychals performed.  Justin is from the Kingsport area and this is reflected in many of his snogs and stories. I had hoped to come back later in the week to catch him again but time got in the way.

The food at Ole Red is good. I don’t think I would call it the best but it is good food and you will enjoy it. I order a hamburger with tater tots.

My wife ordered the catfish dinner.  She said it was really good but she thought she would get a hamburger if we came back.
