Foothills Milling Company--Maryville

Without any doubt....

Last evening, our dining adventure surpassed anything in the past decade...it was that good!  

I have heard many people commenting on how good the Food and Service was at Foothills Milling Company.   After all...with a 94% overall rating, I expected them to surpass my every food dream.  

We arrived with reservation in hand.  I would highly recommend reservations and be sure to make them a couple of weeks in advance.  We arrived at 630 and the place was packed.  We waited at the comfortable bar while our table was prepared for us.  

Our server, Taylor was prompt to our table.  Although he was very busy, never missed a single thing.  An amuse-bouche was presented...a crispy bread square with black eyed pea pesto.   Very good!  

I asked Taylor to surprise me with his favorite choices

...and he did his job in expert fashion.  

Our Appetizers were amazing. 

 

The Salmon Cheesecake Appetizer

 
The Fried Oysters..Crispy and tender on the inside 

We condinued with a beautiful selection of Rosemary Focaccia and Potato Bread...both having just out of the oven freshness.   Also was a beautiful butter in a pool of olive oil.....a different presentation but so good with the bread.  
 



We were presented with the most wonderful Spinach Salad with a warmed dressing featuring Benton Bacon.  I had to eat every bite...it was that good. 



 Following our wonderful salad, we were served a 
very refreshing Berry Sorbet.  



 And now time for the Entrées!


 All Natural Lamb Chops with Creamy Orzo, Roasted Tomatoes, 
Kalamata Olives, Goat Cheese & Asparagus!  


My Surprise Entrée was Their Famous 
Hickory Smoked Pork and Shrimp served with
Pork Shoulder, Sweet Chili Shrimp, Black Rice, Soy Glazed
Baby Green Beans & Ginger Scallions.  

Raves with the Lamb Chops, but my Pork & Shrimp dish
had to be one of the best things I have tasted.....so good with
surprising flavors that came together with perfection.  




 To finish our birthday celebration, we chose desserts that were the perfect finish to any meal. 


 
Rocky Top Ice Cream Pie
 
Blackberry Streusel Tart





 The Foothills Milling Company
has become my guaranteed favorite 
to impress Family and Friends.   With the wide  
menu choices, you will want to return and soon!
