Heading to Gatlinburg TN any advice
While fine dining in Gatlinburg is a difficult task, there is one noticeable omission on this board. The Lodge At Buckberry Creek offers a fine dining experience which is unmatched in the immediate Gatlinburg area and offers great mountain views to boot. It is also highly recommended as a place to stay. We have been to Buckberry for conferences three years in a row and the food has always been top notch (in fact, I am writing this post while staying there). The beef and fish dishes are always excellent. Some of the best halibut I have ever had was here. There is usually some exotic game on the menu. Ostrich and wild boar are both excellent choices when on the menu. Good and reasonable wine list for the area. The wait staff is friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Weather permitting, you can enjoy fireside dining outside on the deck surrounding the dining room.
Buckberry is located on Campbell Lead Road on Ski Mountain. It is a short ride up the mountain but worlds away from the tackiness of the Gatlinburg strip.
