My name is Chris Dodge and I live right here in the great state of Tennessee. My family and I are full adventurers filled with passion to see the amazing things our state has to offer. We are avid hikers and have explored many different places in Tennessee and beyond but we are always thankful to be living in such a glorious state.
Tennessee might be best-known for sweet tea and barbecue, but the Volunteer State has other culinary tricks up its sleeve, too. For instance, when you’re craving a perfectly executed slab of steak, you can’t do much better than The Woodshed. This steakhouse in Newport, Tennessee, is the very definition of a hidden gem — and a delicious one, at that!
Up an unassuming steep hill, you will find The Woodshed in Newport. I have to be honest -- I have driven by this place many times and had no idea it was here. So with a little bit of knowledge, you can arrive at this incredible restaurant, and let me tell you: it is well-worth the effort.
The result is nothing short of juicy perfection. All it takes is one bite and you are sure to agree. You will get your choice between New York Strip, Sirloin, Ribeye, or Hamburger Steak, each cut meriting its own visit.
The Woodshed also offers other delectable dishes like the Friday night special of fall-off-the-bone ribs. Make sure to ask your server for the special they are running for whatever particular night you find yourself there.
In the mood for some crispy fried chicken? Customers rave about the hand-breaded chicken tenders. This classic dish can even be served with homemade BBQ sauce that is, frankly, to die for.
The Woodshed in Newport, Tennessee, may be hiding up a steep road but the secret is out. The place has become synonymous with thicky and juicy stakes and for good reason. They serve up some of the best steaks in Tennessee. For more information please visit The Woodshed on Facebook.
If you are coming in from out of town and looking for a place to stay then check out the Golfer’s Smoky Mountain Retreat. If you are looking for something to do in the area, then the next town over is Cosby and is a perfect little town to visit during the fall — but honestly, you can go any time of the year and it is beautiful.
