Established in 1946 and claiming to be Gatlinburg's oldest restaurant, this eatery is located in a renovated century-old building. It features a pet-friendly creekside patio, with a bar upstairs and a steakhouse downstairs. The burgers are hand-patted using premium steak trimmings, including the 8 oz Mountain Burger topped with bacon and cheese. The menu also features hickory-smoked baby back ribs, hand-cut steaks, and mountain trout. Parking requires using a nearby paid lot. A local guide lists it as a more affordable sit-down dining option.
