The Riverstone Restaurant

"This is just your grandmother’s country cooking, which is what I like. If you’re one of those people who like a two inch chunk of tofu served in the center of a large plate, with a touch of garnish; then this isn’t for you. I had their pot roast, with homemade mashed potatoes and turnip greens. That pot roast was the best! The plate was full; so, I came away stuffed! I paid $17.00, a reasonable price for this area and I definitely got my money’s worth."

"The Riverstone Restaurant is a small mom and pop restaurant located in Townsend, Tennessee by the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The atmosphere is very cozy. The breakfast is good but a bit pricey but there really isn't very many eating establishments to choose from."

"After spending a chilly rainy day in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park we emerged out in the town of Townsend. Being a small town I didn’t know what to expect for dinner eating places. Thank you Yelp for having this place listed. If you want good old fashion home cooked meals, this is the place to go! Friendly staff and great food, met another couple and we shared a table for four. Felt like family there. The pot roast dinner will fill your belly and then some. My wife had the fried baloney sandwich and loved it. If you’re in this town and looking for a place to get some great food and make new friends, this would be the place."

"We came for dinner and had great service! I'm from Texas so I know good Southern cooking so was pleasantly satisfied. We were staying in the campgrounds in the NP so decided to come-back the next day for breakfast, equally delicious food ! Great family owned restaurant, with friendly staff and great service! This beats any of the restaurants you'll find in Gatlinburg that have the "corporate franchise " feel to it....which are almost 95% of them. Come to Townsend for food! Support small business!"

"This is a true gem of a restaurant! Breakfast menu is small but gives enough variety for everyone to be happy. I had the Philly Cheese omelet and it was amazing! It was loaded with steak. Best breakfast I've had in a long time. The pancakes are also a good choice. Only improvement I can think of is to offer real maple syrup for instead of store bought. Those pancakes are too good for Log Cabin! We will definitely be back."
