The Red Fox

About

This retro mountain tavern serves up rustic comfort and country staples with an edge. Leaning into a vintage National Parks aesthetic––complete with a natural 32-foot oak bar, stately stone hearth, and decor embossed with native wildlife––The Red Fox captures the down-home spirit of our Smokies.  

Whether you prefer the familiar flavors of a Fried Green Tomato & Pimento Cheese Sandwich or more contemporary fare like the Chickpea Schnitzel or Short Rib Egg Rolls, The Red Fox has something for every palate. 

Insider tip: don’t miss the Smoked Fish Dip, which is made with local smoked Sunburst trout!
