Veggie Soup Knock Off Like Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant Sevierville Tn

                                                                                                 
We love to go to Gatlinburg! One of our favorite places to eat is the Applewood Farmhouse in Sevierville.
They serve good ole country cooking! For starters you have a julep, apple butter and fritters, and a cup of veggie soup. They have many wonderful dishes to choose from but I love the trout cakes and the apple pork tenderloin. The breakfast is out of this world also!! If you are in Gatlinburg, you gotta try this place!!!
