Reviews for The Barn in Townsend, TN
This is something out of a fairy tale. The food beyond words. It is very hard to get a reservation.
I've had the pleasure of eating at some of the most outstanding restaurants in the world. My wife and I literally had 2 of the... best tasting items we have ever tasted at dinner last night at the Barn. Amazing Read more
Truly spectacular - rotating menu, and everything is done to the highest standard. The staff are wonderful, as they are... throughout Blackberry Farm. What a treat to be able to dine here each night during a stay at BF. Read more
Exceptional all around aside from food (just decent). Two tips to start off with, first the tasting menu isn't a great idea,... it's a lot of food. Second, the wine pairing a certainly are worth it. The somm team here is quite skilled and I was surprisedby how on point they were with each dish. The service aside from pouring wine is also excellent and we felt quite taken care.Now the food, it's good, really good, but not exceptional. I'm also used to fine and experimental dining in Austin, and judgingthe mean at The Barn to what's available on a weekend in Austin, and the Barn gets a "yeah, it's good." Now since it isn'tlocated in Austin, it certainly is probably the best mean you can get within 15 miles of it in TN, so I kept it's rating at 5stars because it isn't competing in a wealthy metro (but there is certainly room for improvement).

A wonderful dining experience. The menu tells a story about the farm, surrounding areas, and the time of year. Love the... ambiance too and fun serving dishes. The staff here are always top notch, and love Andy's wine recommendations- and we lovethat they now have several NZ Sauviginon Blancs on their menu ;) Read more
Blackberry Farm is an absolutely amazing experience. A picturesque destination for weddings, events, or just a weekend retreat.... Tucked away in the Smokey Mountains, you truly feel 'off the grid', while the incredibly helpful and hospitable staff can assistin getting whatever your heart desires. Read more
My husband I had a wonderful meal here. We selected the chef's tasting menu with wine pairings after seeing the wine list which... was amazing, but also...overwhelming. i believe it was 7 courses, but there were tiny surprise courses also, so I think we endedup eating 10 courses. The facility is rustic, but beautiful and the staff is friendly and professional. My husband noticed theyeven stopped deliver of a course when I went to the bathroom and went back to keep it warm for us. It was one of the greatestmeals we've ever eaten. Read more
