I can’t count the number of times my husband and I have passed by Grandmother’s Kitchen and remarked, “We have to stop in there sometime.” The small, unassuming cafe is located in Wear’s Valley and has an equally small unassuming sign that boasts ‘Grandmother’s Kitchen’ Golden Cathead Biscuits.
For the un- initiated a Cat Head Biscuit is a biscuit as big as a cat’s head.
Grandmother’s Kitchen (not sure why it’s not called Granny‘s or Ma Maw’s Kitchen?), is the kind of place I seek out when traveling. I like to eat where the locals eat. I like food that is homemade and from the region. It also doesn’t hurt if the prices are down to earth and not inflated for the tourist. This place has it all.
The menu is basic. Eggs, pancakes, breakfast meats including Country Ham, grits, gravy, nothing fancy. That said the biscuits were beautiful; light and fluffy. The sausage gravy had real pieces of sausage in it! I am so tired of ordering biscuits and gravy and getting white paste with no flavor or sausage . The eggs were large and perfectly cooked.
Grandmother’s Kitchen is open from 7a.m. until 3, serving breakfast and lunch. Another visit is planned real soon to try the fried chicken and homemade desserts.
Grandmother’s Kitchen doesn’t accept credit cards so bring cash. 3030 Wear’s Valley RD., Sevierville. 865-428-7237.
