Brandywine Creek Steakhouse & Tavern

Brandywine, just rock solid good food and service over and over again…

Wow this place is an unexpected surprise in Newport! They buy quality meat and they know what medium rare is… Mm mmm melt in your mouth steaks! Atmosphere has a down to earth feel with a very fun vibe, it is a steak house so get a steak and love it!
Service was fantastic. Our server was so much fun… I wish I could remember his name, since he was awesome! Super attentive, constantly checking in on us and made us feel very welcome! Both our drinks and food came promptly. Even other servers were checking in on us as well, everyone was super friendly. Little things like that show the high standard of care and attentiveness the staff have. Forgive me for forgetting his name, he deserves praise!
They also have happy hour and a huge selection of wines, beers and mixed drinks! I ordered a Margarita and our waiter brought me two… happy hour special two for the price of one… happy happy! Live music on Thursdays and wing specials on Wednesdays, steak specials on Fridays! Such a fun place to eat. We already made reservations for valentine’s day, two steaks meals for the price of one! Go and bring your sweetie for a steak and drink!
A message to the owners and staff: I live nearby so not having to travel so far to another town to get good food is awesome! Thank you for bringing our town such a much needed wonderful establishment, we appreciate you and we’ll certainly be back!

First of this is a positive review, so don’t let any negative comments throw you. I had a great steak here last night. Seriously melt in your mouth good. I’ve grown accustomed to unchewable slabs of leather at many steak houses across E Tn that I have to give these guys cudos up front. Drinks were a bit pricey but they have specials on other nights that are clearly popular, but it was fun to have moonshine margaritas. Nice selection of beers too. The «throwed» rolls were freshly baked huge puffs of yeasty deliciousness. Kind of a mix between a yeast roll and a yankee pop-​over if you’ve ever visited Maine. They came out fresh from the oven in their muffin like pan held in an oven mitt, so could not have been more fresh.
Negatives, this is clearly an old western sizzlin steak house and that nearly threw us off as we drove up and entered, but we came on the recommendation of friends, so we got past that to give it a chance. Glad the old menu did not stick around with the décor. The hand dryer in the bathroom is still broken, so management needs to pay some attention there with two reviews saying the same thing. Overall, the place, though not gross like you would imagine something you would find in an un-​redecorated Western Siz, was clean. Food-​wise the baked potato had clearly been baked much earlier in the afternoon and the salad was mostly iceberg. I’ll forgive them that with the mixed green salad scare on right now from Dole. We got the dregs of the daily deserts and had to order twice as the last serving of apple pie was taken while we ordered, so they are at least made daily, though the blackberry cobbler was nothing to write home about.
Overall, I will be back. Decent portions. You will not go away hungry. Sounds like they have a nice set of specials planned for Superbowl Sunday and Valentines.

I cannot say anything negative with the exception that the men’s room was short on paper towels and the hand blower does not work. Now on to the review.
The Brandywine Creek Tavern and steakhouse has it all. Moonshine, Steaks, Burgers, and even a fire pit out back for your parties. The service is courteous and there is always someone checking in to make sure your dining experience goes well. As a people’s choice awards winner they have proven to be here for you the customer. As it is just a few blocks off of I-​40 at exit 432B it is convenient for easy on and off access. Plenty of parking with enough room for about six 18 wheelers they are ready for the individual, the family, or parties. Their prime rib is wonderful and the homemade deserts add a perfect compliment to your meal. Thursday’s are bluegrass band night and the band takes request. Come on and enjoy a great evening.

Love the «hub cap»…country fried steak, yummy… great taste and served in an old skillet… sweet tea was real good too… my waitress, Kelly, was super friendly and provided great service… even gave me a sweet tea for the long drive to Florida

I live in New York and only come to the area when I visit family, so unfortunately I can’t come here very often. My family came here on Thursday, for the live bluegrass music. We’d been here before several months ago, on a Wednesday, which I can’t recommend because they still don’t have their smoker on at that point (or least they didn’t on that day). This time I was determined to have the ribs I wasn’t able to get the last time and they were fantastic, the meat literally fell of the bone. My fried okra and sweet potato were excellent. The steak seemed to be well received by the rest of my family, as well as the hubcap. The rolls they throw at you, were actually not as good as the last time, rather dry in fact. Desserts were okay, the pecan pie was the best out of the bunch that we sampled. I didn’t have this time, but previously had the pineapple cheesecake, and while it was good, it wasn’t quite worth the calories. The music was fantastic. The men playing were wonderful performers. I wish I could have stayed longer, but my family wanted to leave when the first set was over, due to it being uncomfortably hot in the restaurant due to the A/​C being broken. I wasn’t too bad for me, but for others it was very unpleasant. I will definitely come back for more bluegrass!

Traveling from Chicago. Stopped for dinner.
Half price appetizers from 5−7…we had fried pickles.
Ordered our meals which came with not 1, not 2, but THREE sides!
Hot fresh rolls were thrown to us shortly after.
Drinks are served in mason jars.
I enjoyed the hub cab country fried steak… there was no way I could finish it all… came out on a big frying pan filled with delicious food.
My mom ordered the meat loaf.
Dad ordered the fish fry.
Riley was a great server. No complaints.
Nice little tavern.

Come hungry because you get a ton of food in a large skillet. The food was fresh and oh so good! The waitstaff was friendly and the service was impeccable. It’s worth every penny. My husband and I loved it!

The food is some of the best. The place could use some cleaning and the servers could use a little pep. I prefer when servers do no carry the trays on their shoulders, to close to the hair (hair that had endured a lot of sweat that day) Some of the furniture needs to be replaced however the food is great and the live music makes for a great visit.

This place says streakhouse… But it’s just a bar with a crappy diner on the side. The booth we sat in looked like my dog chewed half of it up. Fried pickles were the best we’ve ever had but I wouldn’t go back.

I had the fried pork chops and fried taters and onions. It was like eating at my Momma’s table! The moonshine margaritas were refreshing and easy to drink! Definitely one of my top five places to eat! The live bluegrass band helped round out the experience.

We stopped in Newport, TN for a night on a road trip. We randomly stumbled upon this restaurant. It was amazing! Delicious food starting with the rolls and ending with the best cheesecake I’ve ever had. (The flavors change but the pineapple was awesome!) The service was really good and they were hosting an event at the same time. And if deep fried twinkles are your thing my fiancé loved his — not my thing though.
The only drawback to this restaurant is that they are not open Monday or Tuesday. So the last time I drove through I was disappointed to not get to try some more food. If you’re in Newport or passing through and need to stop for food this is the place!

A jewel of a restaurant! It’s not on one of those exits you’d expect to find a great meal and experience off of. The staff is friendly and the environment is like stepping back in time to either your favorite honky tonk, blue plate dinner, or Sunday lunch at Grandma’s house!
I highly suggest The Hub Cap-​Trucker Special along side of the «throwed rolls»! Classic old-​school southern fare. One of the best things I’ve ever had!

Food was wonderful. Place was hoppin. They had just won first place in Morristown chili cook off, everyone pumped up ! Congrads on that ! A must place to stop when in the area. Brandywine creek, Newport, TN
They had other awards on the wall also, Best steaks, best ribs, and best wings, and also a first place for chicken wings. All was great will be back!!!

The trip from Nashville to Raleigh was a bit of a rough one after some serious delays and nonsense, then forgetting to eat a full meal for lunch. We were famished and desperate for a dinner option, so we started feebly Unilocaling and found this place. Then when we saw a billboard for it, we knew we had to go.
The only thing that I didn’t like about this place was the service. We were neglected for a little too long for me not to complain a bit. This could have been influenced by the fact that we had been on the road all day, were SUPER hungry and I was trying to get to my friend in Raleigh before 3am, but alas, none of those things could have changed the fact that service was slow, I couldn’t have had more than one beer to ease the pain, and we couldn’t have really done anything about it. Unfortunately, during the sluggish service, the waiter/​bartender decided to count tabs and arrange his tickets LITERALLY 2 inches away from me on the bar. So there I was sitting at the bar with checks in front of me basically where my food should have been while we were waiting. Personal bubble invasion that really put me on edge. We also didn’t get any rolls. For being the home of the «throwed roll», you’d think we would get some rolls… so curious about those. They brought some to everyone but us as we were finishing up.
The place wasn’t too busy, but we didn’t see a host or anyone seating people, so we went to the bar. We were the only two people at the bar and my friend saw that moonshine margaritas were on special BOGO. Unfortunately, that special was outdated, but she did end up getting tequila margaritas BOGO. She ordered the meatloaf with mashed potatoes, green beans, and carrots, and I had a burger. The food was AMAZING. Seriously some of the best we encountered on this trip and one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. I ordered my burger medium and got it with just enough pink in the middle – so refreshing not to get an overdone burger – and the waffle fries were probably frozen, but delicious. My friend’s meatloaf and veggies were all so tasty and relieving (a meal reminiscent of a home cooked one is such a relief on a road trip) as well and we cleaned our plates. I was pleasantly surprised.
I’d probably stop here again on another trip, but would definitely allot more time to the whole experience just to get some of the good food and give everyone enough time to dilly dally.
TLDR: Food is FANTASTIC, service was slow, and rolls were missing from the experience. 4 stars are definitely for the food and cool small town atmosphere, but not the wait.

Fast and friendly service. The portions are HUGE and food is fantastic. Recommend this to anyone

50 cent wings every Wednesday and they are great. night life is kind of scary but food is awesome

Great place, great service. Owners are operators. Menu is huge and very well priced. They have a decent selection for booze and better for beer. They are the home of «throwed rolls» and that is the truth! Their wings are kick ass, bigger than most and with plenty of tang and zing!
Only critiques: my steak came out 1 min after my salad «that’s what happens when you order a rare steak» I was told — and my red wine with my meal was WAY too hot. Take those things off the shelf and get them down to 65. No one wants to drink a wine at 80* but when left on a bar thats where they’ll be.

This place is great. We stopped here 2 years ago on a whim and now stop here every year on our vacation trek through Tennessee. The country fried steak is the way to go for 9.95 and 3 sides you can’t go wrong. This is one of those places where if your on a long drive after eating a meal here you’ll need a nap. Do yourself a favor and follow the billboards to Brandywine Creek.

Food ok. Service is slow as all Hell. Waitress couldn’t quit running her mouth long enough to take our money.
