You eat American food and drink whiskey at Taste of Tennessee, a restaurant in Centurion where the walls hold handcrafted furniture made from Jack Daniels barrels. The menu leans into hearty dishes — steaks, schnitzels, prawns — alongside a whiskey list that includes global varieties alongside the Tennessee namesake. The space is decorated with pieces built by the founder, who started the restaurant after visiting the Jack Daniels distillery.

The kitchen serves through the day, with seating inside or outside in the smoking area. The restaurant is closed on Mondays but open from late morning through evening the rest of the week. Events like Valentine’s dinners run with set menus and seatings.

The building sits at the corner of Akkerboom and John Vorster Drive, in a retail section of Centurion Gate. The founder’s daughter now runs the place, keeping the whiskey focus and the handmade furniture that fills the dining room.
