Greg and I just recently discovered a fabulous place to visit, an hour's drive from our home. It's the Amis Mill Eatery two miles outside of Rogersville, Tennessee.
The place is steeped in very interesting history. I'm not going to even attempt, on this blog, to explain it all as their excellent website (listed below) discusses it in vivid detail.
The relatively new restaurant is charmingly rustic, both inside and out, reconstructed as it might have looked circa 1781.
All of this sets the stage for a tasty meal that would surely delight anyone. The menu, which is yours to keep, if you'd like, is a great souvenir. It has a wide selection of items including Cajun tater wedges, Rogersville ribeye, fried okra, and hush puppies, to name a few. They also serve both domestic and imported beer. (Please see their complete menu on line.)
The day Greg and I were there (celebrating our 28th wedding anniversary), we had a difficult time trying to decide what to select. Greg finally ordered the barbeque pork sandwich with a baked potato, and I chose the fettuccine Alfredo with dinner salad. Delicious!
And, of course, we had to leave room for dessert! We had all these temptations from which to select :
coconut cream pie, peanut butter cup pie, bread pudding (with rum or raspberry sauce), blackberry cobbler, strawberry cobbler, and ice cream! Now, which would you choose? Greg chose the blackberry cobbler topped with ice cream which we shared (how romantic, and sweet!).
Our waitress, Jennifer, and the owner, Jake Jacobs, were both friendly and accommodating. They made you feel at home. They seemed delighted that we had chosen to celebrate our anniversary at Amis Mill. At another table, an older woman was celebrating her birthday. This is a great place for that special occasion, or any time, really, to make any occasion special!
We sat on their open-air side porch which has a wonderful view of the Big Creek Falls & Dam which is across the street from the eatery.
After eating our wonderful meal, Greg and I walked down to the falls and park-like property owned by the Jacobs family. It was a beautiful day, and we spent quite a while just strolling around, enjoying nature and taking pictures. We weren't the only photographers. We saw people with cameras, taking photos of others dressed in formal attire, with the gorgeous falls as a backdrop.
The Jacobs family is to be commended for doing such a great job of having not only a superb restaurant in which to dine, but for providing such a lovely place to walk, fish, or picnic.

We couldn't wait to get back home to tell people about this delightful place we'd found.
As it states in the menu, come "and create (your) own memories."
