The Diner - Sevierville, TN

The Place:
The Diner
550 Winfield Dunn Parkway
Sevierville, TN 37862

The Atmosphere:
Old school 50s atmosphere, with an ill-fitting subway/bus transportation style set of advertizements across the top 1/4 of the walls. They did well when they chose the chromed retro tables, booths and chairs, but that was where the good choices ended. There are ads for local businesses everywhere and are mounted on a large, curved  bus-style ad installation that is extremely out of place in a restaurant. There are also no decorations, posters, etc from the 50s era whatsoever.


The food:
Chocolate malt, chicken BLT and a brownie sundae.

The skinny:
It cost a LOT of money for the mediocre quality food received. Two adults with two lunch meals, drinks and a shared desert was $55. The food is not as good as what you can find at Sonic's or Steak and Shake, which sell the same fare at better prices. The malt was great, the food however was pretty average to sub-par. The bill was horrifying, landing The Diner in the 'do not recommend' pile.

Rosa's Catering

The Place:
Rosa's Catering
Located in Knoxville, TN

The Food:
White cake cupcake, Chocolate cake cupcake, mini sandwiches, finger foods, fruit, lemonade.

The Atmosphere:
Catering, so non-applicable

The Skinny:
The best-tasting cake I've had in Knoxville. The chocolate cake was pretty rich and fudgy, a lot like a brownie. The white cake was fluffy, and the frosting had just the right amount of sweetness. The finger food was fresh and tasted fine. Most catering companies will bring deli meats that are hours from turning bad, but they brought fresh foods and replaced them throughout the night. I'm using their bakery for my wedding reception, so I definitely recommend.
