"Harpoon Harry’s has one of the best seafood dinners in Pigeon Forge. Always fresh and always full of flavor!. Popular menu items here include sushi, shrimp any way you like, crab legs, lobster mac and cheese, oysters, and so much more!"
"This sushi and hibachi restaurant doesn’t get as much recognition as many of its contemporaries, which is a raw deal, because the sheer variety served up by the sushi chefs at this Knoxville (and Maryville) eatery is backed up by the quality of the flavors and visuals that play out in the process. Anaba offers a number of rolls served warm, such as Double Dynamite (tempura-fried with salmon, tuna and more) and the Seafood Boat (tempura-fried with asparagus, cream cheese and seafood mixture). Several creations are available as nigiri, sashimi or in traditional roll form, including crawfish salad, mackerel, scallops, squid and white tuna."
"Quench your hunger with delicious cuisines at Anaba Japanese restaurant for an awesome dining time. The setting you’ll find inside the establishment features what most consider to be luxury. The food is prepared by experienced chefs who strive to offer you the best quality possible."
"Waitress was super sweet (Caroline), but for the price, the food was only ok. The calamari was $10 but should’ve been half the price for the amount we go..."
"The bathroom smelled, there was a fly in the dining area and the service was terrible!!. The waiter was not attentive and practicall..."
"Some places in Knoxville offer pickup, like Tomo Japanese Restaurant."
"This is a great hike for novice hikers as this trail is relatively smooth, and is a gradual climb of only 605 feet over the course of the two miles to the 45-foot Mouse Creek Falls. The Big Creek Trail follows an old railroad grade, built by the Crestmont logging company in the early 1900's to haul lumber out of the mountains during the logging boom. The trail was improved by the Civilian Conservation Corp in the 1930s when it was converted for hiking use."
"Mouse Creek Falls is another recommended option for visitors who want to enjoy nature without the crowds. The trail leading to this 45-foot cascade is a moderately difficult, four-mile round-trip hike along the Big Creek Trail, which passes another smaller waterfall along the way at Midnight Hole. This trail, which was originally a route to transport logs in the early 20th century, was converted into a hiking trail in the 1930s."
"Mouse Creek Falls is a 45 foot high waterfall that tumbles over moss covered rocks. It’s a natural, scenic sight and a bench is even available for you to sit down and admire its beauty."
"The UT Gardens are the official Tennessee botanical gardens, so it’s natural that they’re among Knoxville’s tourist attractions. Over 4,000 annuals, herbs, trees, perennials, tropical plants, vegetables, shrubs, and ornamental grasses live on the beautiful grounds, maintained by the UT Institute of Agriculture. The UT Gardens are wonderfully kept, carefully noted with signs that provide useful information about each plant you may see."
"Baskins Creek Falls is located along the Roaring Fork Motor Trail, which is a beautiful area in the Smoky Mountains in the fall. You’ll see the fall colors and a waterfall along this 3-mile round trip trail. At the beginning of this hike, you’ll have some great views of the mountains covered in fall foliage."
"Relative to their popularity, this 40-foot, two-tiered waterfall just might be the most underrated falls in the Great Smoky Mountains. It's also a great place to kick back and enjoy a picnic."

"On our final morning in Knoxville, we had several options for breakfast—Makers donuts and Status Dough being two worthy contenders (and spots you absolutely must try if you have a sweet tooth), in addition to my regular, tried-and-true haunt, Tomato Head—but I can never resist the crepes at French Market, which has relocated from Gay Street to the other side of the square and, ultimately, won out in a battle of the breakfast foods. I still don’t regret that decision one bit!"
"A great place for dinner in Market Square is Tomato Head, they have yummy pizzas and a nice range of sandwiches, salads, and sweets. Read More – 12 cool things to do in Knoxville Tennessee"
"If you’re more in the mood for a pizza, salad, or sandwich, try The Tomato Head in Market Square. It’s right near your next stop anyway."
"The Wild Plum Tea Room is an amazing place to have lunch in the Arts & Crafts Community. Named one of the top 10 restaurants in the state of Tennessee, this unique cafe features scratch-made food in an idyllic natural setting. Be sure to make reservations at The Wild Plum at least 24 hours in advance."
"If you’re looking for a healthy and delicious alternative to the classic pizza, the Mellow Mushroom is the place to go!. This is one of the fabulous restaurants in Gatlinburg with vegetarian and gluten-free options. A popular menu item among health-conscious eaters is the Veg Out Specialty Pie."
"Vegan and vegetarian options are pretty plentiful in this laid-back and friendly pizza place. They have vegan cheese so you can gobble up a pizza topped with fresh veggies and there’s also hummus and pita to snack on to your healthy heart’s content."
