Dolly Parton’s Favorite Restaurant is in This Tiny Tennessee Gas Station
You would think that having all the money in the world would mean that a person would eat at only the most fancy and expensive restaurants. While I'm sure that's true of some people, it is the exact opposite for the one and only Dolly Parton.
The Smokies just shared a story about the queen of Country music's favorite dining establishment. A few fun facts about the restaurant. It is located in Dolly's stomping grounds of Sevierville, Tennessee. Totally unassuming, you would miss it driving by if you didn't know what you were looking for because it is tucked into a gas station.
Here's the story of the Frank Allen Grill:
For the past couple of years, no other burger in the area has been able to dethrone the Frank Allen Grill as the best in town. Dolly's favorite dish though is supposedly the slaw dog. A chili dog topped with mustard, onions, and good ole Southern Slaw. I wonder how she eats all of that without messing up her makeup and nails! I do love that Dolly is a hot dog gal.
The menu also has other sandwiches, onion rings, crinkle-cut fries, and it's all very reasonably priced. Just good ole diner grub. If you want to check it out, their hours are listed as Monday-Friday 6 am to 5:30 pm and 6 am to 4 pm on Saturdays.
At 930 Parkway in Sevierville, TN just look for the Marathon gas station. You never know whether or not you'll run into Dolly herself popping in for a dog!
