Homestyle Cooking
This is the food Sevier County is known for, fried chicken, country ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, biscuits that arrive before you’ve finished ordering. The Applewood restaurants anchor the category, sitting together on the Apple Barn property off Apple Valley Road, where every meal starts with apple fritters and apple julep whether you asked for them or not.
Come hungry and plan for a wait at peak season. Portions run large, sides come family-style at most tables, and nobody here is trying to reinvent anything, which is the whole point.
Chubby's Restaurant on Dolly Parton Pkwy is a family-owned spot serving hand-breaded appetizers, oversized burgers, and a famous pork tenderloin.
Open since 1987, Applewood Farmhouse serves complimentary fritters with every meal, family-style Southern staples, and the signature Applewood Julep daily.
