- JJimAsheville / Western North Carolina •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThe Gamekeeper- you won't regret this evening if you are able to score a reservation. A gem of a spot nestled in the Boone/Blowing Rock/Banner Elk area. Don't be scared away by the "game" vibe. Even if this is not your favorite type of cuisine- you will be able to find something not too wild. There's aways an excellent fish dish, delicious salads and soups as well as all the game dishes. Pro tip: there's a bar area and an outdoor seating area that are first come, first served and the outdoor area is weather permitting.More infoThe GamekeeperPrice: Very Expensive• American• Boone•4.9
- CCadinEast Tennessee •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoThe seafood buffet is the go to. We’ve had it before and it was good as always. The mahi mahi was probably the best dish there. Had halibut for the first time and loved it. The rice and potatoes was amazing as well and our server was right on top of things. Can’t wait to go back!More infoMeadowsPrice: Moderate• American• Kingsport•3.6

- DDebEast Tennessee •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoI have recently moved to the area and the Chop House was recommended to me by a family member. The first time I went it was a busy Sunday and I probably waited 30 minutes for a table, when I got to the table we sat there for maybe two or three minutes when the manager came by and apologized for the wait and took our drink order, then the evening continued and our entrees came out and my steak was a little raw so my server, Tyler, who was awesome, took it to get it cooked more, and the manager came back again. I explained it was our first time and that we had just moved here. He brought my steak back out and the second time it was perfect and I had a new potato! Then when we received the check our appetizer had been taken off the bill. I thought we had a pretty good experience nothing special but good I didn’t expect any type of discount. Then he brought me a gift card! and apologized that our first time here wasn’t up to their standard so he wanted to bring us back in for a better experience. I’ve been back once a week since and I don’t plan on stopping! The servers have all been great and the food is always delicious but the fact that the managers are so involved with your customers is what sets this place apart from other places I’ve dined.More infoThe Chop House - KingsportPrice: Moderate• Steak• Kingsport•4.6
