These taverns once fed stagecoach riders, travelers, and town folks, and today they serve crab cakes, fried chicken, trout, and prime rib under the same beams and beside the same fireplaces.

This Unassuming Tennessee Cafe Serves Biscuits and Gravy That Locals Can’t Stop Talking About

A honey bun goes on the grill here, and nobody thinks that’s strange. It’s simply part of the morning at a small, cash-only diner where biscuits and gravy get the most attention. I like how plain this place keeps things. The doors open at 6 AM on weekdays,...

Locals Swear by the Giant, Juicy Cheeseburgers at This No-Frills Tennessee Burger Joint

The burgers here are half-pound patties, hand-pattied and cooked fresh to order. That means you’ll wait around 20 minutes, and nobody seems to mind one bit. The dining room holds only a handful of tables. A few more sit outside on a back deck. The building is old, simple, and clean, which feels exactly right for a place this focused on food.

One of the best Indian restaurants on this list sits inside a building that used to be a Long John Silver’s. I love that kind of plot twist. Another spot bakes pizza in a hand-built brick oven that weighs about 10 tons. A downtown diner stays open until 4 AM on weekends, which feels like a public service.
