If you’ve ever spent an extended period of time in East Tennessee, then you’re bound to have topped off a day in the mountains with a plate of fried chicken or begun an early morning with biscuits and gravy. What you may not know, however, is that downtown Gatlinburg hides a Cajun-inspired eatery with a whole lot of character. Crawdaddy’s Restaurant & Oyster Bar serves up New Orleanian classics with gusto, and you’re not going to want to miss it.
Crawdaddy’s Restaurant & Oyster Bar can be found right along the main Gatlinburg strip. It is known for its low-key vibe, fun atmosphere, and spicy menu.
You can see that the interior is brightly adorned and rife with light and color. Crawdaddy’s Restaurant often hosts karaoke experiences, and lends itself to group gatherings and events.
Of course, it's the menu that tends to draw most folks to the eatery. Come for jambalaya and po'boys, try out the classic low country boil or go all out with an order of alligator bites. They're true alligator tail!
The menu is large and has a little something for everyone, so no worries if you aren't the biggest seafood fan. Choose from a myriad of pasta, po' boys, cheeseburgers, and steak.
The service is great too! Everyone that comes to Crawdaddy’s Restaurant is treated like family as if everyone had grown up in the same deep Louisiana parish.
