Profile: Laurel Mountain Eatery

Submitted by HarbormasTer on Thu, 02/09/2012 - 11:06pm

Since 1994, the owners of Laurel Mountain Eatery have taken pride in operating their eateries as "Mom & Pop" shops. If you eat something in their establishment, then more than likely they made it, including their homemade sauces and dressings.

Serving a delicious variety of wraps, sandwiches, burgers, and salads, John & Laura firmly believe you cannot pay anyone to care as much as owners do. John & Laura serve as the Head Chefs, Chief Dishwashers, and Head Wait Staff. If the front door is open, that means one (or both) of them is there. They do it all with one shared goal - to make each meal a quality experience for the customer, worthy of a "letter to Mom"; a real "want to come back tomorrow" experience.

Their huge burgers and freshly prepared salads have been voted the best in East Tennessee. The burgers at Laurel Mountain Eatery are big coarse-ground black Angus burgers served on grilled corn-dusted Kaiser rolls. Their gourmet grilled cheese features your choice of three cheeses and fresh veggies. The Spinach Chicken Salad is made to order served with their own honey mustard dressing. The Hawaiian Paradise wrap has been a crowd-pleaser for years.

Founded in 1986 by Pete and Rita Natour, the goal of Pete's Coffee Shop/Restaurant has always been to serve the finest breakfast and lunch by friendly staff in a clean environment at a reasonable price. Celebrating 26 years of service to downtown patrons and beyond, the key to Pete's success has been their commitment to the "three C's" - courtesy, cleanliness and consistency.

Pete's Coffee Shop/Restaurant offers home-cooked meals for breakfast and lunch just like grandma used to cook, including daily specials, sandwiches, salads, and comfort foods like meatloaf, chicken livers, fried chicken, turkey & dressing, salmon patties, roast beef, just to mention a few. Come in and take a seat at the old fashioned grill-side food counter, slide into a street-side booth, or ask the staff for assistance in pulling some tables together for you and a group of guests.

Voted "Best Breakfast" by MetroPulse readers for 4 years running, customers rave about the food, portions and price. Trying to single out the most popular menu items is very difficult. There is really no particular item that outsells the rest. Everything on the menu is there for a reason. They are all very popular. And now, you can place your carryout order online using their new DineTouch Order System.
