Restaurants in Morristown, TN
Where to eat downtown, out on the highway and on the way home from the lake.
Eating out in Morristown breaks into two halves. West Andrew Johnson Highway is the commercial strip — steakhouses, barbecue, Southern plates and every drive-thru in Hamblen County.

Questions people ask about eating in Morristown
What is Morristown, TN known for food-wise?
Southern home cooking and barbecue. Long-running plate-lunch rooms like the Davy Crockett Restaurant sit alongside East Tennessee staples such as Buddy's Bar-B-Q and Aubrey's, and downtown adds a brewery taproom and a dairy-farm ice cream shop on Main Street.
Where do locals eat in Morristown?
Two clusters cover most of it. West Andrew Johnson Highway is the commercial strip — Aubrey's, Texas Roadhouse, Holston's Kitchen, Buddy's Bar-B-Q and the drive-thrus. Downtown Main Street is the walkable side: 1907 Brewing Company and Cruze Farm Ice Cream under the Skymart overhead sidewalks.
Is there anywhere to eat downtown in Morristown?
Yes. Downtown Morristown is compact and walkable, with the Skymart second-story sidewalks overhead. 1907 Brewing Company operates a taproom in a restored 1907 building on West Main Street, and Cruze Farm Ice Cream serves soft serve and shakes at 143 E Main St.
Are there restaurants near Cherokee Lake?
Cherokee Lake has marinas and campgrounds rather than a restaurant row, so most lake days end with a drive back into Morristown — roughly 10 to 20 minutes from the main ramps to the West Andrew Johnson Highway restaurants.
Where can I get barbecue in Morristown?
Buddy's Bar-B-Q on West Andrew Johnson Highway is the established East Tennessee barbecue house in town, serving smoked meats and sides.
How do I get my restaurant listed on this page?
Every restaurant here is listed free. If yours is missing, or the address, phone or website is wrong, use the business form in the directory and we'll add or correct it.
