Set along Market Square, this inviting restaurant specializes in fresh oysters, lobster rolls, crab cakes, seafood towers, and other thoughtfully prepared dishes that highlight quality ingredients.

The Possum serves up tasty elevated Southern fare | Grub Scout
When a restaurant has the word “possum” in the name, it’s natural to expect the kitchen to showcase Southern cuisine. But when The Grub Spouse checked out one of Maryville’s newest eateries last week, we were surprised that the down-home grub was more elevated than what one might find at the local Cracker Barrel. I had been hearing a lot of buzz about the debut of The Possum, which is just a block off Lamar Alexander Parkway, not far from the downtown area. The Spouse and I found the place in a renovated older brick home, with both downstairs and upstairs rooms converted into sequestered dining spaces. A hostess escorted me and The Spouse to the upper level, where we took our places in a room where two other couples were already dining. How Southern is the food? We got our first hint while perusing the starters (they’re called “snacks” on the menu). I spotted items like cornbread, fried saltines with pimento cheese, and pork rinds with hot sauce. I wanted to try the bologna burnt ends ($10). That’s chunks of fried bologna tossed in a barbecue sauce and topped with crispy onions. Salad options include a chicken cracklin’ Caesar

K Brew's newest shop offers a look inside Belltown's growth in Powell | Exclusive
K Brew's newest location is more than a coffee shop. It's part of a growing cluster of local businesses helping turn Belltown into a walkable destination in Powell. After more than a decade of opening coffee shops across Knoxville, K Brew co-founder and CEO Pierce LaMacchia told Knox News expanding to Belltown was the best decision he could have made. The coffee shop is now open alongside other familiar Knoxville brands, including Soccer Taco and Abridged Burger Company. But by being in Belltown, LaMacchia said, these restaurants and shops are able to provide a different kind of experience. The Belltown development features hundreds of homes, supporting a walkable experience more commonly associated with downtown than Powell. Simpson's Meats opened its Belltown storefront earlier this week, and an indoor golf club called The Bunker is opening soon. K Brew CEO: Powell has an appetite for local businesses at Belltown There's a pattern LaMacchia follows when trying to determine the next K Brew location: Wherever there are "barren zones," he previously told Knox News , "let's plop a store there." Powell has shown a strong appetite for local businesses, LaMacchia said, particularly a locally owned coffee shop. But the reaction to K

Smoky Mountain Mornings Taste Better At The Donut Friar In Gatlinburg’s Craft Village
At 5 AM in Gatlinburg, most of the Parkway is still asleep, and the mountains are barely awake. One small shop already has its lights on and its cases filling up. It has been part of a family story in this town since 1969, and it still does things the old way, right down to taking cash only. Early hikers, road trippers, and people who saw it on TikTok all end up in the same short line.
