If you havent taken your family to The Walnut Kitchen yet, youre missing out on one of Maryvilles most beloved dining experiences. Since 2017, this Launch Hospitality restaurant has been serving up globally-inspired American cuisine in a warm, rustically elegant dining room that feels special without being stuffy.
The menu is whats called "well-traveled" - think Appalachian roots mixed with techniques and flavors from their collective travels around the world. Its not your typical family restaurant, but the vibe is welcoming enough that families with older kids will fit right in.
Pro tip: They encourage reservations for dinner, especially on weekends. Walk-ins are welcome too, but you might be waiting. The exhibition kitchen seating is a fun option if you want to watch the action happening in the kitchen.
The restaurant has become such a Maryville institution that its hard to imagine the town without it. Its the kind of place where locals actually live - youll see regulars whove been coming since day one.
For families: The atmosphere is warm and ambient, not too loud. Older kids who appreciate good food will love it. Bring little ones early if you want to catch the quieter dinner hour.
