Seafood

Seafood in the mountains sounds like a contradiction until you try it. Sevierville’s raw bar handles it the right way, lobster rolls, oysters on the half shell, and a short menu that changes with what’s actually good rather than a laminated list of everything fried.

It’s a useful break from a week of barbecue and country cooking, and it reads as a treat without going full fine dining. Worth booking ahead on weekends; the dining rooms here are small and word has gotten around.
