Tennessee has quite the reputation as not only a homey state but a welcoming one. It’s a neighborly state, both geographically and culturally, and manages to not only honor its past but welcome the beauty of the future. Contemporary eateries may be taking over Knoxville, Memphis, and Nashville, but sweet Tellico Plains boasts a whole ream of homey restaurants that give a solid nod to a time gone by. If you’re ever in the area, Town Square Cafe is well worth a visit. Sweet and low-key, you’ll come hungry and leave sated. Check it out below!
