Visiting the Homefront Tea room inside the TN Valley Railroad Museum was such a delight! The food was spectacular, the tea selections were plentiful and the atmosphere was beautiful. They used a huge assortment of China that was mismatched beautifully. And the tea pots were amazing. The staff wore period style clothing and could not have been more attentive and pleasant! If you’ve never experienced high tea, or are a lover of high tea, grab your friends and make it a point to add this to your “must visit” list.

What a great surprise my husband came up with. He booked a tea and train ride for my birthday. Our server in the tea room, Aubreigh, took great care of us and made the experience a delight. The food was delicious and our group had a great time. Aubreigh also gave me a birthday card and had all of the staff sign it. We also sat at table 10 which is my birthday October 10th. Thank you for making my day special with all of the little details. I highly recommend Homefront Tea Room!

What a treat! My family planned this surprise birthday trip to the Homefront Tearoom, and it was great from the moment we arrived. We were greeted with a courtesy ride from the car to the depot, and everyone we met was incredibly pleasant and welcoming. The entire facility is pristine, which is especially impressive given its history. It's obvious that care is paramount here. The staff even greeted my grandchildren with such pride and dignity. Be sure to arrive early, as the lobby has a very interesting museum that's worth exploring. The tearoom itself did not disappoint. Our party of eight was seated in a lovely private area. The decor is fantastic, and the variety of teacups and teapots adds to the enjoyment. Everything was delicious, from the tea to the food. The whole experience is so well-planned. After tea, we enjoyed a ride on a steam engine train. The conductor was just as courteous as the staff at the depot and tearoom. The ride was both entertaining and informative, and we even got to get off for a lovely tour where we learned about the "turntable." I highly recommend a visit to this wonderful slice of history.

This is an outstanding tea room! Everything about it made you feel special and welcome. It's decorated so great and reasonably priced. We bought the combination tea and train ride ticket for $55. It was a fun experience, but the tea room was definitely the highlight! We are going to try and do the Christmas tea on the train!

My friend surprised me with a reservation at a charming tea room. Upon arrival, we were seated at a beautifully set table with our names on the reservation. The table was adorned with elegant plates, tea cups, and silverware. We were presented with a menu to order our tea and had several options to choose from. Additionally, we ordered mimosas and were served house cheese with crackers, breakfast cakes with three toppings, and our favorite lemon cream. The food was delicious and filling, with broccoli soup, quiche, banana pudding, and bite-sized cheesecake and macaroons on the menu. To top it off, the owner brought out a chocolate cupcake for my friend's birthday. The hospitality was impressive, and we will be returning.
