Carver's Orchard

“This is literally one of my favorite restaurants, it's definitely in the top 3 favorites for me. You start your meal off with warm apple fritters and homemade apple butter, then you can get a whole meal, a drink, and a dessert for less than 15 bucks. I have not had a single bite of anything from Carver's Orchard yet that i could even consider disappointing. You definitely want to get a dozen of the apple fritters, do not just get 6, it will not be enough. I PROMISE, YOU WILL NEED A DOZEN!!! 🤣❤️ I'm pretty sure about my top three restaurants, there's the old mill, in pigeon forge, Carver's Orchard in Cosby, or for the uninitiated, I guess you would consider it Newport, and my top number one most favorite restaurant of all time, anywhere in the world, would be Pier 20, a seafood restaurant, in Wilmington, NC. My #1 favorite restaurant, Pier 20, closed down years ago 🥺😢😭 but it made such an impression on me growing up, and during my young adult years, that I'm going to keep it in my top, #1, most absolute favorite restaurant in the world and nothing will ever be able to replace it. But definitely go check out this place, my wife always calls it The Apple Barn LOL. The country cooking there is so good there that sometimes it feels a little bit like my grandma's cooking, sort of, just trust me, the food is great and you should check it out. Don't take my word for it, get on down to Cosby now and check out Carver's Orchard. I promise you won't regret it”

“Excellent lunch on Saturday. I had the catfish and my companion had the ground beef steak. Both were cooked to order. We shared an order of apple fritters that came with apple butter. Both were excellent as well as was the service. Large, bright dining room with a nice view of an apple orchard outside of the window. Plenty of parking. Want to come back later and try the chicken and dumplings or maybe the fried chicken? Our server, Robin, was very attentive and did not let my drink get empty, which is not an easy task on a hot Saturday afternoon. Did not have time to visit the apple market next-door. The apple butter brought back fond memories of my childhood in the 1960s. Highly recommended restaurant; you won’t be disappointed!”

“Beautiful local Smoky Mountain Apple Orchard! I've been coming here for 36 years, Best fresh cider, homemade fried apple pies (come early, they can run out!), lots of apple varieties to choose from in the fall. They have a large Assortment of handmade crafts and a fresh vegetable section as well. October is hopping, lots of visitors, apples of all sorts. You can buy them by the bushel. I got 1/2 bushel of Fuji apples for $13! That's a lot of apples! Check out the handmade chocolate at the candy shop, get a jar of apple butter, a jug of cider and some local honey to take with you.”

“I absolutely enjoyed this place the staff were very friendly the food was amazing and they have a candy shop and will soon be opening a donut shop on the premises... Beautiful place to enjoy a meal and the prices were very good. You get apple cider, apple fritters, and apple butter while you wait for your dish to come out. Well worth the money I took 5 people there and spent under 40.00 for our meal. Not to mention they have a farmers market with all kind of amazing jelly's, jams, salsas, veggies, fruits, syrups and butters but there are many other things.”

“Great place to visit! The Restaurant has awesome food for a great price. Very generous portions of home cooked food! There's also a candy store and produce market on location. Great views of the orchard and surrounding mountains.”

“First time we went it was so darn busy. We couldn't see anything. We went today on a Friday morning and it was wonderful. Spent more than I thought it was going to but there was lots of cool stuff. Will be back”

“Very nice place to buy local aplles and seasonal veggies. Very reasonable prices. Delicious Amish fried apples pie. Candy store is closed for winter.”

“So many apples, candy, honey, sorghum to choose from. The restaurant was crowded. They ran out of my favorite apple fritters. So good.”
