Vegetarians beware. Most everything has animal product in it, even things that traditionally don't. Just play it safe and stick to the salad bar.
The NC entrance is much less congested than the TN one by Gatlinburg.
While you still have amazing views with indoor seating, it is usually freezing. It'd be wise to bring a sweater, even during warmer months.
Vegetarian Alert: Best grilled cheese I've had with tomato, arugula, and avocado. They also have vegetarian black bean soup and platter with tofu on the lunch menu.
They have greatly expanded their already decent vegetarian selection. The last time I saw a vegetarian Rueben was in Chicago. Tempeh and tofu are featured in several options.
For a vegetarian entree, try the grilled portobellos with fried green tomatoes. It is something beyond the typical pasta or veggie burger you get at most restaurants.
Go for the three half scoops option- half scoops here are normal sized scoops anywhere else. Salted caramel and Belgian dark chocolate are divine.
Great place to take kids on a rainy day. They frequently have a Groupon, so check before you come.
Excellent furniture collection, but don't forget they carry decor and art. You may not be able to buy one of their big set pieces, but you can afford something to add pop to a room.
There is a dollar surcharge for any credit card transaction under ten dollars. If you aren't a big drinker, it is best to just bring cash.
The adjacent River Trail is a 1.5 (3 round trip) mile hike to Cherokee.
A good family hike up to the first two falls. Easy to moderate, and the kids get excited about the waterfalls. Ok, you will, too.
They now offer a frequent diner's punch card valid at all Cancun's and Senor Taco locations. 10th lunch is free.
If you need to pay with a card, use the register at the pharmacy. The lunch counter register is cash only.
If you are not going to eat your cupcakes right away, refrigerate them to keep form. Also, give in and use a fork.
This is the best Shoney's I've been to. It's a well-lit, upbeat establishment (some others are depressing) with an attentive staff. It's still a Shoney's, but when you have a craving, come here.
Wear water shoes or at least sandals that strap all the way around your foot. You will loose your flip flops!
Vegetarian Alert: they have a veggie burger, veggie and cheese subs, falafel and egg salad sandwiches on the menu plus a veggie burger salad.
Just give up trying to turn left onto Western between 7-9 a.m. You are going to wait at least ten minutes and draw the ire of everyone waiting behind you in line.
The amount if pampering you get with the Tulip Pedicure is well worth the extra cost. One of the best treat yourself bargains in Knoxville.
