Birthday dinner with big portions = Brazeiros. Just be selective with which meats you take. If you stick with filet, picanha, lamb chops, and their other choice beef cuts, you will get your money's worth. Don't waste room on chicken, sausage, and ribs (which are not so good, anyway).

Quick update: Another Myrtle's sign was installed on Kingston Pike at the old Chick fil A drive through. Almost across the street next to IHOP they are building a new KFC. Structure is in place.

Can’t say it enough, Myrtles is some good eats

Thanks. Walnut Kitchen is closed on Sundays so I might try Lemon Grass.

Lemon Grass is the best Thai food around, period.

Foothills is expensive, quality and nice but not “Fancy”.

I am headed to the Knoxville area for a high school class reunion in late Sept. What are good restaurants in Maryville for dinner? Nothing fancy as I want to do some hiking during the day and will stay at the airport hotel Sun. evening for a very early flight out Monday morning.

If you are going to hike you might consider Dancing Bear in Townsend.

Check out The Shed for some decent BBQ. Tell Ian that Rock sends his regards if he's around!

Lemon Grass has been closed since late 2016.

Thanks. Looks interesting. Coming off the trail, I'll be hot and sweaty. Is there anyplace in Townsend I can get a shower - rather not go all the way back to the airport hotel just to shower.

Stop by Smoky Mountain Outdoor Center, cool down tubing the river, then get cleaned up there.

What are the best places on the Cumberland strip on gamedays that aren’t as difficult to get into for lunch? Assuming it’s a night game.

Thanks. I'll be in LC (Maryville side of Ft. Loudon Lake) for the BYU game and this isn't too far.

Sweet Ps on Maryville Pike on the marina is fantastic, was also on Man Vs Food

Don't laugh, but the Belgian place in downtown LC is actually really good, and it's definitely authentic, including Trappist beers, etc. Avoid if watching your calories though!

LeNoir? Is that the one? Place is legit.

I'll get it Thurs afternoon. Hang out with Mom & Dad at their place on the lake Thurs night and Friday...cook on the BGE! Go to the game on Sat. Stay in K-ville Sat night. Head to ATL on Sun for a Mon meeting.

The Strip is awful in terms of restaurants. They’ve spent a bunch of money redoing the street scape and new fancy buildings, but other than Copper Cellar and Sunspot there isn’t much other than counter service.

Check out Abridged for some great burgers and lots of beer choices.

Yea, it's changed since I was there. Looks better but food isn't. We went into a pizza place when I went to Homecoming last year. I was with my Dad and my son, so it was fine. But, if I was with my peers, we would want something else.

Lemon Grass

I did not know they moved there, or did they always have 2 locations and the Knoxville one closed?

Zaxby’s is tantalizing delight on The Strip. Yuck

Two totally separate restaurants.
