River's Edge Restaurant and Gallery

Twenty-two foot high ceilings in the main dining room and dozens of windows allow visitors to enjoy this spectacular view. The indoor atmosphere mirrors the restaurant's outdoor setting. Six large tree trunks act as pillars. Running water fountains, specially created for the restaurant by owner Dennis Nedelman, are handcrafted from copper and brass to set a gentle background sound that mimics the Nolichucky.

Barbecue is our specialty ... freshly smoked meats are marinated before cooking so that they retain their natural juices ... special sauces compliment the tender meats ... we're told it's the best BBQ around.

Hand-tossed pizzas are made fresh to order ... specially prepared sauces made with local vegetables and a variety of toppings allow diners to create pizzas to satisfy their cravings, from traditional to inventive.

We cook it slow . . . but you get it fast!
