Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant & Farmhouse Grill
Applewood Farmhouse: A Sevierville Landmark of Southern Flavor and Hospitality
Just minutes from the heart of Pigeon Forge, Applewood Farmhouse stands as Sevierville’s oldest restaurant—a charming testament to the region’s rich history and Southern traditions. Originally a working farm with ties to the Revolutionary War era, this beloved destination now features two welcoming dining establishments: the Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant and the nearby Applewood Farmhouse Grill.
A Tradition Rooted in Heritage
Set against the backdrop of rustic, farmhouse-style buildings, Applewood offers visitors a genuine taste of East Tennessee charm. The original restaurant, housed in the historic farmhouse, has been lovingly updated over the years. Due to growing popularity, the Farmhouse Grill was later added just a short walk away to accommodate even more guests seeking authentic Southern comfort food.
A Culinary Experience to Savor
Dining at either location begins with a signature touch—freshly made apple fritters served piping hot, accompanied by homemade apple butter and Applewood’s signature julep. These fritters are offered with every meal, whether you come for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and are often the highlight that draws returning visitors time and again.
The menu is a celebration of classic Southern fare. From hearty breakfast favorites to homestyle dinners, dishes such as country-fried chicken with gravy, chicken and dumplings, and savory pot pie are standout offerings. For those seeking lighter fare, options like Cajun-grilled catfish, roast turkey, and a variety of soups and salads are available.
Homemade side dishes are another highlight. Rich sweet potato casserole, crispy fried okra, and freshly prepared soups round out the menu. Guests can expect generous portions and comforting flavors, perfect for satisfying any appetite.
Save Room for Dessert
No visit is complete without indulging in one of Applewood’s desserts. House specialties include a classic apple pie served with house-churned vanilla ice cream, creamy banana pudding, and a decadent peanut butter chocolate chip pie—all made in-house and perfect for sharing, or not.
Applewood Farmhouse Grill: A Lighter, Quicker Option
The Grill offers a streamlined menu with many of the same beloved dishes as the original restaurant, plus a few unique selections of its own. It’s an ideal choice for those seeking a shorter wait time or a quicker meal before heading out to explore the local attractions.
Explore the Apple Valley Grounds
The Applewood complex is more than just a place to eat—it's a destination in itself. Located on Apple Valley Road beside the Little Pigeon River, the area is home to a variety of specialty shops and attractions.
Guests can sample freshly brewed hard ciders at the Apple Barn Cider House or browse a thoughtfully stocked General Store filled with local goods. The adjacent Candy Shop delights visitors of all ages with its handmade confections, while the Apple Valley Creamery serves up some of the best ice cream in the region.
The property is also home to the Apple Barn Winery, offering sweet and fruit-forward wines as part of the local Wine Trail, and a Christmas & Candle Shop that brings a touch of holiday magic year-round.
Whether you're here for a meal, a tasting, or an afternoon of shopping, the Applewood experience offers a perfect blend of local flavor, hospitality, and charm. Be sure to enjoy a peaceful stroll along the riverbank before you leave—it's the ideal way to round out your visit.
