We had a wonderful meal at the Applewood Farmhouse Grill in Sevierville, Tennessee (just before you get to Pigeon Forge). The old restaurant has a similar menu, but can be difficult to get into at times and so we opted for the Grill for time sake.
This place is a place not to miss if you visit the Smoky Mountain area!
There were many Low Carb options like:
- Salads: Arugula Salad with Chicken,
- Main Entry: Grilled Catfish, Blackened Salmon, Apple Julep Grilled Chicken, Grilled Pork Chops, Steaks, Smoked Pork Loin, BBQ Bacon & Cheddar Grilled Chicken, Sugar Cured Ham.
- Vegetables: Green Beans, Turnip Greens
- Sandwiches/Burgers: Steak Burger, One Pound Burger with Cheese both if you substitute the fries for vegetables
Now every meal comes with their signature Julep fruit drink, apple fritters with apple butter and choice of vegetable or chicken noodle soup. We can’t have most of the vegetables in the vegetable soup or the noodles in the chicken noodle soup. Us Low Carbers have to not drink the julep, forgo the fritters and simply drink the broth of the soups. That was particularly tough given I KNOW what those taste like. If you’ve never had them, it is easier to say no to them. I’ve got to say the temptation was really tough on me, but I held fast!
There is the Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant and the Applewood Farmhouse Grill. Similar menus with some exceptions that you can check out online. (Namely pot roast, chicken livers and trout at the restaurant. The trout is a good choice for us Low Carbers!)
DO go here if you visit the Sevierville area! Also the shopping area that is part of the Applewood complex has many wonderful shops and items, especially if you love apples… this is the place to shop. Their cider, butters and meats can be found in the store. Too are cookbooks and kitchen gadgets and decor.
Definitely worth a visit!
