Everyone has a meal from childhood, a dish, a dessert, that dredges up all sorts of nostalgic feelings and that tiny bit of homesickness you can only experience as an adult.

There’s nothing like a Saturday morning spent amongst the smell of sugary, sweet fried dough, and Courthouse Donuts has been making memories in Sevierville, Tennessee, for years.

Courthouse Donuts holds the title as the oldest make-your-own donut shop in Sevierville, Tennessee, which means that not only do you get to enjoy a donut fresh from the fryer, but you get to customize them. It's a neat experience that has endeared this tiny shop to the hearts of Tennessee locals and tourists alike.
Some might ask: what do you mean, customize? Well, you can choose to have your donut dipped in a delicious, homemade icing and topped with sprinkles or assorted candies, perhaps even coconut.
It's the kind of choice that would make you go crazy as a kid. This endearing, family-owned spot is located right next to the Sevierville Courthouse, hence its playful title twist.
Open, airy and welcoming, this family-owned eatery doesn't just stick to donuts. If you're looking for a delicious sandwich or a lunch that will stick to your ribs, then a high-quality meal at Courthouse Donuts is right up your alley.
Perhaps indulge in a freshly made sandwich, like this jalapeno cheddar foccaccia with pimento cheese. Yum!
We're drooling over this pretzel roll, but the chicken salad sandwich and the southern classic bologna and cheese dredge up those age-old feelings of nostalgia we love so much.
Make sure to stop by for seasonal favorites, like the caramel apple pie and nutella s'more flavors that show up just in time for autumn.
Courthouse Donuts' slogan, "The taste is arresting, you be the judge" is a quirky take on the local legal system, but there's nothing illegal about the delicious meals and treats served at this low-key local joint. Decompress and enjoy for yourself at 160 Courthouse Avenue in Sevierville, from 8am to 3pm during the week. They're closed on the weekends, so you can recoup and pop on by come Monday. Happy eating!
If you’re looking for another quirky Tennessee eatery to visit, this Memphis tea room is a darling addition to the home of the blues.
