The Old Mill of Pigeon Forge, TN.

 The Old Mill of Pigeon Forge, TN. ( A MUST STOP IF YOU’R IN THE AREA )

In the early 1800's, a water-powered gristmill on the banks of the Little Pigeon River became one of the main hubs of activity in the small mountain community of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. In those days, the mill faithfully produced the meals and flours that were crucial for the day-to-day existence of the Smokies' early settlers. In fact, The Old Mill even furnished electricity for the town until 1935. READ MORE

THE VIEW::::::::::

Rental cabins near by.

Wait till spring and I’ll have my meal on the patio.

In talking to Eric Lee,”the menu is interesting enough for someone to travel from Columbus or Cleveland to enjoy and accessible enough that local residents will come for a regular meal or that  very special occasion.” I’m from Lancaster,Ohio and I didn’t think it was a bad drive at all. Eric makes the drive to work from Athens and he says he really enjoys the scenery along the way.

For larger groups &

for overflow from the main dining area or more casual dining

I had already eaten lunch so I didn’t get to try the hearty pulled pork sandwich or Zaleski Burger with hand cut fries. I’m  thinking  this may be the spot to take Linda for Valentines Day……………. Have a great day and Thanks For Stopping By.
