The Greenbrier Restaurant in Gatlinburg is definitely the stuff of legends, from its mysterious beginning to the delightful food.
How often is it that you get to eat in a restaurant that has its own legend? Here at the Greenbrier Restaurant you can do just that. Located in a log cabin built in 1939, this restaurant features floor to ceiling windows and an upstairs dining room for private parties. Private parties must be booked in advance and can accommodate up to 30 people. Pasta, trout, and lobster are just a few items on the extensive menu. There are also steaks and several great appetizers.
Now, I know you are all wondering about the legend mentioned earlier. It's said that a woman named Lydia once lived in the log cabin that is now the Greenbrier Restaurant. One day she left the cabin in her wedding dress, heading to town to be married. Several hours later she returned, unwed and very upset. She hung herself from a banister in the cabin. It's said that a few days later her fiance, her had left her at the alter was found mauled by a mountain lion. Was it coincidence, or was Lydia's spirit simply getting revenge?
