What a cool little place. They opened up for us a little early and lit the fireplaces for our kids to eat around. Food was really good and the service was so good. I didn’t get to try any of the beers but the place was super cool. Traveling to dolllywood from Chattanooga this was a great spot the kids could run around and get some energy out right on the river makes it a great spot to stop. We will be stopping there on our travels again for sure.

A friend and I ordered a Johnny C (Ham, Swiss cheese, basil pesto mayo) and a Wendy Lou (Roasted chicken, provolone, basil pesto mayo, lettuce) and we each shared a half. Each sandwich was made with toasted sourdough bread and the basil pesto mayo really makes a big difference...yum!Great place to eat in Townsend Tennessee.

It's a serviceable place to get a quick bite if you're passing through the smokies. Service was friendly, but the atmosphere is lacking. The Buffalo chicken panini was tasty... but I can't eat the chips that they serve. I hate when restaurants use peanut oil/products with it. (It's a common allergy, after all). Prices are about on par with the times/this area (no one is doing anyone any favors in this area nowadays)

My husband and I stopped in here after a day of hiking and had a surprisingly great experience! The young lady who took our orders was extremely polite and provided great service, and our food arrived in a timely manner. We both got the Wendy Lou panini and it was delicious! And there was a view out back of the river if you would prefer to eat outside.The owner was very friendly and stopped by our table during our visit to check on us, and wished us well on our way out. We felt like they respected social distancing and the staff wore a mask which helped make us feel comfortable. It was a great experience!

Great service and food! My favorite part is the beautiful patio out back near the river. The perfect place to relax with a beer and a sandwich after a long day in Smoky Mountain National Park

My husband and I stopped in here during a vacation in The Great Smoky Mountain National Park. What a wonderful surprise. This family owned and operated deli was very welcoming. We sat outside with a beautiful, relaxing view of the river. One of the owners instantly seated us and in less than three minutes we were drinking cold drinks. Our sandwiches were deliciously prepared with just the right seasonings and trimmings. As we left I could not help but say we would be back.

Great little restaurant. Menu is limited but what we got was very good as was the portion size. We got the Moonshine Barbecue Meatballs for an appetizer. 7 or 8 of those. Honestly, if I’d knew they were so good I’d have just gotten two orders of those. I got the Boyd Roast Beef Panini with jalapeños and could only eat half after the meatballs. Wife got the City Folk with Mozzarella, basil pesto and sun-dried tomatoes.For after dinner drinks I got a couple of draft Michelob’s and wife got a whiskey sour. She said it was just right. Cannot recommend this place enough. Off the beaten path in Townsend and away from the hustle of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We’ll actually be staying on this side of the hill for future Tennessee trips. No bumper to bumper traffic, people seem friendlier. Food is better and pricing is more reasonable.

Went in for lunch the other day. We got a carry out order. We both got moonshine meatball sandwiches that were very good. Nice fresh bun & real good BBQ sauce. They came with kettle potato chips. We also split a chili which was really good as well. It actually had meat in it. I got to say it was a good meal. The price is a little steep but the quality is there. Living in Townsend and paying tourist prices can get frustrating. I get it though & I didn't ask if they had a locals discount. All that being said I would highly recommend a stop for a sandwich & a beer. Nice people and great food.

Amazing place right on the river! The food is great and the beer selection greater. They offer a variety of local beers. It's owned by a young family that also does their best to support other local businesses. If you are anywhere near Townsend DON'T MISS THIS PLACE! Indoor and outdoor seating available.

Our favorite weekend hangout! They have a great selection of local beers which are always ice cold and the food is great. By far, the best paninis around! Steve, Jenny, and the staff are great. We love to sit on the patio with a view of the river.

This place is a hidden gem. Perfect place to drop by for a relaxing lunch. The people there were really kind and treated us like family. The food was delicious. Me and boyfriend got the Wendy Lou and the Hot Wendy. We also got the raspberry cider and since we stayed at the cabin next door, we were able to take it to go and drink it while watching the river. Will definitely stop by again next time we visit.

We came here while we were doing a day of tubing down the Pigeon River. Fortunately they had outside seating because we were still wet from the river. The staff was Wonderful! The suggestions they made were spot on and the food was terrific. If we actually lived nearby rather than being there on vacation, I think this would become one of my favorite restaurants.

Found this place after a long morning exploring the smokies! Perfect for a bite and a beer. Had some outdoor seating overlooking the water, too.

Happened to come across here while driving through to get to Gatlinburg. So glad we stopped and gave it a chance! The Panini's were amazing, atmosphere is very relaxed, and Katherine did an awesome job. Drinks were never empty, (great beer, wine and cocktail selection) and she checked on us often even though she was the only one during a lunch rush. Didn't have a long wait for the food either. The pineapple upside down cake was better than Grandma's!!! You NEED to stop here!!

The best service I’ve had in my entire life. Sarah was so kind! My drinks were always filled. The food was so good. She gave is recommendations for things to do because we are just visiting. She was so sweet that i came back the next day just to see her again! She remembered my drink and asked me about what we did the sweetest thing ever!!
