	The Old Mill Restaurant You simply haven't experienced true Southern cuisine until you've sat down to an old-fashioned breakfast, lunch, or dinner at The Old Mill Restaurant. Located adjacent to the historic Old Mill, this dining spot has earned a reputation as one of the top restaurants in the Smokies. The menu features items such as hearty Southern classics like country-fried steak, sugar-cured ham, pot roast and gravy, chicken and dumplings and chicken potpie. Dinner specialties are served in generous portions along with their signature corn chowder, salad, fresh vegetables and dessert. 175 Old Mill Avenue, Pigeon Forge, TN 37868
	The Pancake Pantry in Gatlinburg This restaurant will cook you up the very best pancakes you have ever had! This restaurant has been a tradition for many visitors to our area for many many years. It is located at 628 Parkway, Gatlinburg, TN
	Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant Located on the picturesque Apple Valley Road off U.S. 441 in Sevierville A long time ago Apple Valley Road, which runs along-side Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant was the main road between Sevierville and Gatlinburg. Across the river, you can still see the faint tracks where horse-drawn wagons forded the Little Pigeon River. The original farmhouse on this site burned, and in 1921 was replaced by a six-room house, which stands as the centerpiece of the restaurant. You can still see the wonderful built-in oak furniture in the original dining and living room. In 1972, the Bon Hicks family and the Bill Kilpatrick family bought the 65 acre property from Roger Mullendore and operated it as a beef cattle and burley tobacco farm until 1976-1978 when they started to put it into apple orchards. In 1986, the Hicks and the Kilpatricks called upon Stokely Hospitality Enterprises to create Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant by expanding the original farmhouse. Surrounded by orchards, you will find that the "Apple is King." The story doesn't end there because the fruits of that orchard also included the addition of The Applewood Farmhouse Grill, where you can taste the tradition.
