You’ll Love This Amazing Tennessee Restaurant That Also Has A Petting Zoo
The Ole Barn Restaurant in east Tennessee is an experience as much as it is a place to eat dinner and enjoy the company of loved ones. Great for kids and adults, the restaurant is serves up local fare, with everything grown in the good ol’ Tennessee soil. We fell in love with its rustic charm, and the accolades showered by locals and visitors alike. This is truly a diamond in the rough.

Ole Barn Restaurant is located in Johnson City, Tennessee, and is a sweet, old school restaurant that brings patrons back to the good old days.
Their cozy restaurant and outdoor beauty are unrivaled, with a playground and petting zoo for the kids, plus inflatables and hay ride adventures - those are fun for everyone, though.
Lunch and dinner is served country style, which means that there's one price for an all-inclusive meal. You'll be served two meats, home style vegetables as well as seasonal vegetables, and a dessert. There's even catering, if you love 'em so much you need some more.
And, of course there's the petting zoo for the littles. Although you can't pet this peacock (at least we wouldn't recommend it) there are plenty of other animals for your little ones to ogle.
The restaurant is open for groups Monday through Friday, but reservations are required. You can visit yourself from 5:30pm-9pm on Friday, 11:30am-9pm on Saturday, and 11:30am-6pm on Sunday.
PS: If you're looking for a wedding venue, you may just want to check their archives...this rustic space photographs beautifully. Check it out for yourself at 440 Okolona Road in Johnson City.
These all-day breakfast spots are great, too!
