Applebarn Cafe ~ Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

 Before school started back for the year this year we went on a little trip to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.  It had been around 23 years since my husband and I had been in that area.  So much has changed since then.  I don't know if the Applebarn was there back then or not, but we found it this year and we were glad that we did.

 We went to the Applebarn Cafe for lunch.  We had no idea that they would bring out these apple fritters with apple butter as an appetizer along with the glasses of what they called a julep that had orange juice, apple juice and pineapple juice mixed.  The apple fritters were so good.  I really liked the julep drink.  We all loved the apple butter.  We had to stop by the Applebarn Store on our way home to get a few jars.

 I don't know if it is just a Tennessee thing or not, but our lunch also came with soup.  We all ordered the vegetable soup. It was also really good. 

 My husband had the turkey with gravy and dressing with a side of mac and cheese and cranberry sauce. 

 My Young Man had grilled ham with mashed potatoes and green beans.

I had grilled pork with mashed potatoes and dressing with gravy.  We all sampled each others meals and everything was really good.  If we are ever in the area again we will be sure to stop by for lunch or dinner again.
