7 Best American Restaurants near Greenback

“Date of visit: 12/6/2023 Time of visit 7:45amBreakfast at the Greenback Diner in TN. Ate there after dropping Kahlua at PPaws to ummm... lose a little bit of weight. He is going to be one unhappy kitty for a time. How in the world do you keep a crazy cat from zooming and jumping for a week I have no idea. But back to the diner. It is a small place that used to be the towns drug store years ago. Now it has been a diner for years. Staff is very friendly. We were first timers and got treated just like the in town locals which the diner was full of. It is small and was very crowded. That lead to the only drawback of the experience. From placing order to getting our food it was about a half an hour. But we were there pretty early (7:45am) and I imagine breakfast was in full swing. It was starting to clear out a bit by the time we had left. Now on to the good stuff. I was going to order the large pancake and a large biscut and gravy as I could not make up my mind. We had two waitresses. (one in training I guess) They both looked at me and asked if I was sure. I asked why and they explained how big the big pancake really was. So I went with the small and a large biscut and gravy. The wife had 2 eggs over easy, 3 strips of bacon, toast. and hash browns. Her eggs were done to perfection and over easy is not easy to get right. But they did. Bacon just right. She enjoyed her whole meal but could not finish the two slices of toast. Mine was excellent! And oh my gosh! I could not even finish my meal! So a to go tray and I have dinner for tonight. Yes we would recommend people to try. But if you go at breakfast rush just make sure you are not in a hurry. Oh, and the sweet tea is fantastic!“

“Stopped in for lunch on our way home traveling through and just made it as the local church crowd started to arrive. Place became full which is a good sign. There were plenty of servers and we were met with a friendly young lady that took care of us. We enjoyed the fried pickles appetizer. I always try to get something unique while traveling and trying new places so I went for the smoked brisket grilled cheese and fries. My word...it was good. Brisket was perfect. Tender, perfect smoke, and a generous portion of meat. Fries were top 5 best I've had. Loved the cut and batter on the fry. Really good. My husband got the country fried steak, potatoes, and okra. Sadly it wasn't as good. Okra frozen style not fresh or cornmeal battered. Potatoes were just standard. Steak was a nice big portion but seemed frozen not house made. Which is pretty normal, but fresh would have been amazing.Atmosphere was ok. Little cramped. Was very close to the folks eating around us, but that's ok. They all knew each other in this small town.Restroom was teeny, but ok.I would definitely go back again if ever traveling through.“

“The food was delicious. I had the fried sweet tea chicken sandwich. The atmosphere has always been good. Since we went on opening day, we got lucky to get a table right away. But the food, ate ordering, took over one hour to get to us. The price was much more expensive than I expected.“

“This is the perfect dining experience for couples on a romantic date, or family and business gatherings for twenty-five to forty people. The setting is beautiful; right on the water with outdoor space, a fireplace, outdoor patio, and more. The food is excellent with southern favorites and gourmet panache. This is the perfect time of year for a superb dinner with your loved one, family, or co-workers to celebrate the holidays.“

“Ive been here before, but first time grub'n here. People, telling you this is my go to after today. The meal I ordered was superior to the "other establishment up the Dragon". That "other" pace can go now. This place was much quicker with grateful service. Be cool and give the Dragon Pit Stop a shot. They'll appreciate it and you won't be disappointed. Sure.“

“Great restaurant with a good lunch selection. My wife and I ordered Reuben sandwich and club sandwich with soup and chili. All selections were tasty! Our server Kelsey was very attentive and pleasant. The views of the golf course were super and we were able to get a window seating. We will be back to try other menu items including a pesto flatbread!“

“What a wonderful place! I had the best buttermilk biscuit I've ever had in my life. I ordered the catfish and it was AMAZING! My Moscow mule was made perfectly. The building was really cool with boat docks for miles. I think they must really party hard here in the summer.The only thing I didn't like and was confused by were these little bird house looking boxes they had on their tiki deck. The boxes are clearly made to trap and kill bumble bees as they were half full with the bodies.Now I'm not from here and maybe they have a good reason to kill all these bumbles....but according to the Internet bumble bees are endangered and extremely important to the ecosystem around here. So that was weird. Great place though. I had a lovely time.Vegetarian options: They had baked potatoes, a bread basket, and salads.Parking: The parking lot is HUGE! If it's full that means there's a really long wait time. Worth the wait for the food.“
