Omg let me tell you. I came here to Tennessee for work for five weeks I looked up food places to eat and this popped up. It’s by far amazing the potato is so huge there is no way one person can eat the whole thing. A big thumbs up from me!!!

Ordered the pulled pork barbecue loaded, baked potato. Staff was helpful with helping me pick out a gluten-free option. Staff checked all ingredients to make sure my meal would be safe for me to eat.

Southern Sweets and Eats is a gem! We used to stop by just for their shaved ice, but recently tried their signature shaved ice—and wow, it's a game-changer! So flavorful and delicious. We also tried their funnel cake, and it was amazing—crispy, warm, and just the right amount of sweet. The Dole Whip is another favorite—cool, creamy, and refreshing. They even offer savory snacks if you're in the mood for something salty. Whether you're craving a dessert or a quick bite, this is a great place to treat yourself!

Wow!!! LOVED this place. I'm from out of town but I was there for work and I'm so glad I found this place. Best sweet treat ever!! I wish they had one in Middle Tn where I'm from because I would be wearing it out lol.

We got lucky finding this little gem while on an evening drive from Knoxville. I’m so glad we stopped! My husband’s funnel cake was top notch! So fresh, warm, and the perfect amount of powdered sugar. He also got a vanilla milkshake that was really good. I ordered the Classic Strawberry and was blown away by the perfect blend of sweet cream and fresh strawberries. We’ll definitely stop by when we’re in the area again.
