Brumley’s Restaurant and Lounge

Our most recent visit to Brumley’s was a great experience. Pleasant surroundings, attentive service and good food.
I must mention that I live in Greeneville and have been to Brumley’s several times since it’s start-​up. Past experiences were varied since chefs and menus changed frequently. I think they’ve got it now.
A more varied menu with some interesting appetizers, salads, and some modest priced plates along with the steaks, salmon & scallops helps everyone find something on the menu they can enjoy.
We tried several several salads and appetizers including the Charcuterie, Pobalano Peppers stuffed with pieces of filet, Crab beignets, Pecan Chicken Salad and Antipasti Salad. Everything was well prepared and very tasty. Since Mr is picky, he thought some stronger cheese would have made the Charcuterie better — I like mild cheese so I was happy:)
Only disappointment was desert — cake was obviously thawed from frozen and very dry.
I will follow up in a month or two and see if they are still doing well.

Wish we would have known about Brumleys the first morning we stayed @ General Morgan Inn! We stayed at the General Morgan Inn for the storytellers convention and the hotel gave us a voucher for the Catalist coffee shop. ($ 7.00 voucher) Because we got the voucher we went to the Catalist and waited in line for 30 minutes for one black coffee and a ham & cheese croissant. We served ourselves and had to walk to the counter for refills and they wait for refills (10 min) they were very understaffed and the overall experience was underwhelming.
So, the next morning we went to Brumleys and it was AMAZING! My mother and my boyfriends mom & I had a fantastic southern bell breakfast. We got there at 10:00 am on Sunday morning (they open at 10:00) and they sat us at a beautiful table overlooking the street. They served us scones and butter shaped liked roses and coffee before we even ordered anything. I got the omelette with a side of bacon and it wax all cooked to perfection. The pancakes were amazing and the preserves for the biscuits were great. Basically, it was a girls trip and we left feeling like debutants from the 1850’s. My bill was 15.00 but well worth the cost for the overall experience and memory.

Great service. Very poor execution of what could be an excellent menu.
Dry food that was obviously sitting on the counter long before served.
We asked for olive oil and vinegar and got two kinds of vinegar, white and red.
Lamb overdone. Broken glassware.
Disappointing for the price.

Awesome dining experience tonight! Fancy downtown restaurant but No Dress Code so I felt welcome in capris and flip flops. I chose duck, potato cake and roasted radishes. The chef graciously substituted braised spinach for most of the radishes since I didn’t think it would be very yummy. However the radishes were really good… I may have a new favorite veggie! The duck was more done than medium rare but they took a % off of my ticket so no complaints. I can def see coming back here!

I got the filet mignon. It was decent, but not the best ever. The wedge salad and blue cheese dressing was amazing. I was a little surprised by the price, but it was a nice atmosphere and a nice location.

Just made a wonderful discovery in downtown Greeneville TN. We were looking for a place to have lunch and we’re directed to Brumleys. The ambiance was wonderful old school federalist style architecture and very comfortable and elegant décor. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The food was excellent from the red bell pepper, tomato, and cheddar bisque to the pecan chicken salad to the cod and coconut bread pudding. All were fresh, tasty, and we’ll presented. I will definitely make it a regular stop when I want an excellent dining experience.

One of the best restaurants in E TN. Really inspired food. The menu seems to change often. I have dined here 3 times since the new chef came and been very pleased with the food and service. Be sure to arrive early to have a chance to enjoy to haha skills of the bar staff.

Brumley’s is located in the General Morgan Hotel. I stayed in the hotel on a recent business trip to Greeneville. I do not write many reviews; however, the dinner at Brumley’s justified writing. It was outstanding! I ordered a wedge salad, rack of lamb and chocolate brulle. All dishes exceeded my expectations. The lamb was cooked to perfection, and the side dishes were perfect. And the service was impeccable.

Don’t waste your time or money. Living in large cities across the country must spoil me. When I return home, I always wish that there was a really nice restaurant in Greeneville… unfortunately there isn’t — at least as far as food quality is concerned. I’ve eaten at Brumley’s a couple of times, and each time been thoroughly disappointed. The first time (several years ago) was a catered event at which I had an extremely overcooked spinach and cheese stuffed chicken breast. The side dishes were evidently not memorable, but the dessert was; it was an absolutely horrid sponge-​like cake with a rancidly sweet sauce. I also dined there not long ago, at my out-​of-​town friend’s suggestion (I didn’t have the heart to tell her of my previous bad experiences). I had the crab cakes and mushroom and spinach crepes. As a crab cake connoisseur, I almost always have them if listed on a menu, and I can attest that Brumley’s were some of the worst (if not the worst) I’ve ever had. Sarah’s recommendation to skip the seafood is sound. The crepes were good, not great, but much more palatable than the crab cakes. I believe that Brumley’s specialty is the brunch/​lunch buffets, but I’ve never been to the restaurant outside of dinner. My dinner experiences have left me with little incentive to give the buffets a chance.

This restaurant is located in the General Morgan Hotel. Hotel is amazing.
The restaurant is the only fine dining restaurant in Greeneville, TN. We got in late on Friday so we ordered at the restaurant and they brought the food to our room. Great service. I ordered the Duck appetizer and the tuna salad. The tuna was obviously frozen and parts of it was still frozen. Salad was not good at all. The duck was ok but probably should be on something different then the bread it was served on. My husband had the prime rib and he would have given it a 3 out of 5 stars. Crème brûlée was good but the top sugar layer was so thin it was soft. They have a small selection of wine and alcohol if you drink. I expected better but maybe it would have been if we could have sat down and ate. It’s definately not kid friendly.
