- PPauletteGreater Boston •5 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThis is my go-to place for steak whenever I'm in Gatlinburg. The Prosperity Steak was delicious and arrived perfectly medium-rare. I chose Neva's Potatoes as my side and highly recommend them. The ambience and service are always top-notch. Definitely recommend making a reservation. The Friday-night walk-up time was an hour to 90 minutes. Parking is free in their lot as long as you scan the parking QR code in the lot and then the QR code at the restaurant when you check in.More infoCherokee Grill and SteakhousePrice: Moderate• American• Gatlinburg•4.5
- DDavidVIPLas Vegas •30 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe started our evening with Oysters Rockefeller and Oysters Chesapeake. Both were excellent but the crabmeat in the Oysters Chesapeake made them a new favorite. Ashley was our server and was of the most amazing we have ever had. She made the meal special. We then had Caesar salad. My wife had the special for the night, halibut with lobster ravioli and I had the broiled seafood. Both were outstanding. We always worried about fresh seafood being available in Gatlinburg but I am now a believer. If you get the chance, you should definitely go to this restaurant.More infoChesapeake’s Restaurant - GatlinburgPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Gatlinburg•4.8
