You don't have to go too far for a relaxing dinner after an adventurous day of whitewater rafting with Big Creek Expeditions on the Pigeon River. There are several great choices just miles from our outpost with homestyle food, local charm, and a great mountain setting.
The Apple House is a wonderful family dinner spot nestled just off of I-40 in Newport, TN. If you enjoy fried chicken and apples in all forms and presentation from apple cider to apple sauce to apple pie, you will love the Apple House. Get there early because they close the kitchen soon after 8pm.
The Front Porch is a delicious Tex Mex restaurant with local flare. It is less than 10 miles from Big Creek Expeditions and is a perfect dinner option after a long day of rafting the Pigeon River. They encourage you to bring your own drink and on the weekends, they have live bluegrass.
The Barbecue Garden presents an outdoor eating experience based on the goodness of slow cooked barbecue. Try all types of barbecue with great side options and enjoy a nice spring or summer night outside in their garden.
