“So glad we stopped here for breakfast! D-licious! I had the Pimento Bowl; grits, fried egg, pimento cheese, bacon and green onion. You could choose breakfast potatoes instead of grits. There is a Pesto version, as well. Hubby had 2 eggs, bacon, potatoes and wheat toast. Everything was very tasty. We’ll definitely mark this one for future on I-40.“

“Best hamburger steak I have ever had. You have to give this place a try“

“Renting a cabin in Cosby and we were driving back from Gatlinburg and saw Docs. Pulled in and we couldn't be happier that we did. The Universe was talking to us because this place is special on so many levels. We were greeted by Doc in the bus and everyone eating in there gave us the recommendations on what to get. Kindness was abundant. I'm not a foodie by any sorts but their BBQ pork was outstanding....the beans were crazy amazing....and the smoked pie just knocked my socks off. I could go on and on.....but I couldn't be more grateful for the experience, the laughs, the food, and the kindness we were shown. Go here....it's beyond worth it!!!“

“Food has been great in the past, but we drove out of our way to eat here today and the restaurant is closed until spring. So disappointing!! They really should post that information; most restaurants are not seasonal. I would recommend calling ahead to be sure they're open.“

“Thanks to the TN Welcome Center employee who recommended this restaurant! We ate there coming & going on our Michigan trip. Seafood buffet one time & country buffet the next. Both were delicious with great service each time. Reasonably priced with the buffet &/or menu choices. We’ve added it to our must-stops on upcoming TN visits. Thanks y’all!“
