Restaurants in Gatlinburg

“A visit to Gatlinburg is not complete without enjoying dinner at The Peddler Steakhouse. Great food, great experience.”

“Without a doubt the best ribs anywhere in the southeast. Fall off the bone and the rib sauce was out of this world. The sweet potato casserole was the bomb too. Good salad bar also. The staff, waiters and waitresses were kind and friendly. Reasonable prices !!!! I myself will eat there again and again every time I visit.”

“We had dinner at Howard’s last night (8-13). We had a beautiful table over looking the water. Our waitress was great. I wish I had remembered her name but was she was from Romania. We were a party of 4, 3 had the ribeye and 1 the filet. All were cooked perfectly. It was a nice way to celebrate my partners birthday! Thanks again for a nice evening!”

“Excellent service and even better food!”

“The food at The Baht Restaurant was absolutely excellent. Every dish we ordered was full of flavor, perfectly seasoned, and incredibly tasty. You can truly tell that care and authenticity go into their cooking. It is honestly the closest to authentic Thai food I’ve had in Tennessee so far. The ingredients tasted fresh, the balance of flavors was spot on, and the spice level was done right—not overwhelming, but flavorful and true to Thai cuisine. The presentation was also nice, and everything came out hot and well-prepared. If you are looking for real Thai food rather than Americanized versions, this place is a great choice. The quality of the food alone is worth the visit, and I would absolutely come back again and recommend it to anyone who loves authentic, delicious Thai food.”

“If I could give it a 10 they would get it. Rosemary was our waitress & she was wonderful. The food is amazing. Thumbs up to the chef.”

“Off the main strip lovely place if you have gone to a Brazilian steak house imagine that sub the steak for flavorful pizzas my favorite was the Quatro Queijos my hubby loved the nachos pizza. the garlic parmasan wings were so tasty. Gabrielle(a) was such a sweet and nice person, explained everything to us and made sure we were full before we left. it was like eating at a friends house and them taking care of you.”

“Adam was great! Best first time there!”

“The food and service was amazing only issue is I ate way too much 🫣”

“We tried Bennett’s BBQ in Gatlinburg for the first time and boy was it great. The salad bar was fresh, clean and delicious. The bbq was amazing. We got the sampler platter. The highlight of our lunch was definitely our server Alisha. She’s been at Bennett’s for over 10 yrs and you could definitely tell. She gave us some history on the restaurant, she pointed us in the right direction for some attractions but most importantly she was a wonderful server. She kept our drinks full and our table clean. We will definitely be back to see Alisha and enjoy some more delicious food.”

“The shark tunnel was so fun”

“Stopped in during a work conference as I was feeling something light (seems like everything else in Gatlinburg is either pizza, alcohol, bkfst food or burgers) so I appreciated the menu here. Sherri did an awesome job! The restaurant was completely empty, I feel like people don’t realize it’s there, but I encourage you to check it out! Great portion sizes and flavor.”

“They had really great fired chicken tenders and wings. The fries are classic potatoes wedges kind and it taste great. Indoor dining is small but outdoor is fun if the weather is cool.”

“Indoor dining is fantastic food & service!”

“Fabulous! Worth every dollar!”

“The chef here is awesome! We are from Texas, so we are always scared to try BBQ anywhere else. This place was delicious and food pricing was reasonable. 100% recommend 👌”

“Outstanding service by Marcus!! Good food & pleasant atmosphere resulted in enjoyable dinner. Appreciated not feeling rushed through meal & friendly interaction by all staff.”

“My wife and I were there celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary, and we were trying to figure out where to eat. The atmosphere and music were great on the third level bar. However, we decided not to stay after spending $27 on a Bud Light and a Jack and Coke. I expected it to be a little bit more expensive on the Parkway, but I thought that was ridiculous.”

“We didn't know what we were planning on eating today after shopping. The guy at the corner said best steak in Tennessee. After we shopped and was walking back to our hotel we decided to give it a try. I am disabled and walk with a cane so we did the drive incline and a few steps. We got seated and Stone was there to get our drink orders. I always choose a sirloin but, none on the menu, Stone provided his top 3 with his favorite being minion. We went with that and was not led wrong very good meal, good price and wonderful service,”

“Great meals and service for us. The Route 66 Chicken, instead of beef, was the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever eaten. Can’t beat the endless fries and Shirley Temple. Ask for KINO-he’s fabulous!!”

“Just had Burgers and fish and chips from the food truck and wow top notch food !!! amazing beer cheese .”

“We were there on 7/26 for karaoke and the DJ/karaoke host was amazing!!!! Made our night so much more fun!! Will definitely be back!!”

“Great food friendly staff great service!!”

“Staff was friendly and welcoming. Restaurant was cute and clean. We got 4 things off of the menu, and they were all delicious! Definitely recommend.”

The coffee is rich and flavorful, and the pastries are fresh and delicious. It’s the perfect place to relax, recharge, and enjoy a great cup of coffee. Highly recommend!”

“The best coffee and friendliest service in Gatlinburg. The Harvest muffins are outstanding!”

“We visited the Log Cabin Pancake House while staying in Gatlinburg, and it was one of the best experiences of our trip! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted so warmly. The whole place has such a cozy, true cabin feel that makes you feel right at home. Our waitress, Ginger, was an absolute 10/10. She was so sweet, attentive, and even took the time to interact with my boys in such a genuine way. As a mom, that meant so much to me — especially since my son Samir is autistic and mostly nonverbal. She made us all feel comfortable, cared for, and welcome. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was cozy, and the service was truly the best we had on our entire trip. Thank you for such a wonderful breakfast and memory. We will absolutely be back next time we’re in Gatlinburg! — Amber & family 💛”

“Everything was excellent including the service!”

“Love Colonel Crockett’s flavor! The best!”

“Sara is absolutely amazing at Tennessee Cider Company! From the very first time we walked through the door, she remembered our names and made us feel like family. She always knows exactly what we like to drink and goes out of her way to make every visit special.

Over the years, we’ve built such a wonderful friendship with her, and seeing Sara has become one of our favorite parts of every trip to town. She truly has a gift for making people feel welcome and appreciated. Tennessee Cider Company is lucky to have her, and we can’t wait to come back and see her again! ❤”

“Everything was excellent including the service!”

“We flew in from Washington state, starting our trip in Nashville, then Pigeon Forge and decided to spend one of our last days in Gatlinburg. On a whim, stopped at Waffle De Lys. The pictures on the menu looked yummy, but most of the time the food doesn’t look like the pictures. That wasn’t the case here! The waffle came out looking just like the picture. Now for the taste. It was hands down the best thing I had in Tennessee!! Best waffle I’ve ever had in my life! The toppings were amazing. I had the oh la la. The waffle itself is different than any other waffle. I can’t even describe it, but it’s delicious! I finished it and realized I didn’t even take a photo of the beautiful creation! The only thing I’m bummed about is that I didn’t find this place sooner! If we’re ever back in Tennessee, I would drive out of my way to stop here! Great, friendly customer service too!”

“One of my all time favs! The grits and pancakes are on point. Literally never had a bad meal from here”

“Adorable, friendly lil restaurant. The food is worth the wait ♥️”

“Best cinnamon roll I have ever eaten! We got the blueberry, Carmel pecan, and cream cheese.”

“We found this gem of a place during our travels in Gatlinburg,Tennessee. Delicious malts, ice-cream sodas, sundaes, and a whole lot more. Friendly service and nostalgic atmosphere. Something for everyone! Highly recommend! 😊”

“This little cozy place had the best frappes & the food was absolutely delicious. We came from New Orleans & so I was impressed ☕️🩵🙏”

“Every single time at any tropical smoothie cafe is such a wonderful experience! They are so nice here and their service was the best and fastest of any I’ve been to!”

“Amazing Beer & Cider! Their pizza was also Amazing. I will definitely be going back.”

“We just randomingly happen upon this place. We had always wanted to try one. The front is a coffe shop. They lead you through a fake freezer which was pretty cool. It gives off a 20’s vibe. Every drink that I tried was amazing. Don’t fret they also had beer for those that aren’t into liquor. The drinks are on the pricey side but well worth it! If you are in town this is definitely a must try.”

“Stopped at this small place for a quick coffee. Ended up being a hidden gym. Wife and I got recommended coffee combinations that did not disappoint. Ended up coming back the next day for more.”

“I love this location. Often times they tend to get caught open slightly later than posted because of the late summer crowds, which as a local, I really appreciate. I never seem to quite make it by close because work myself, but when you have to wait late for your partner to get off their shift, it really helps that they are always so kind and accommodating, even as I know they must really want to get closed to go home themselves. It does not go unnoticed. The ice cream I get up here, really makes the best end to a long day. Thank you.”

“First time dining here, the food and service were absolutely wonderful! I will return again!”

“For a quick and delicious breakfast, definitely recommend the bacon, egg, cheese croissant or the sausage, egg, cheese croissant. It’s one of our go-to’s when we visit Gatlinburg.”

“-It's an incredible place that you absolutely will NOT regret making the decision to invest your time or money in! Highly Recommend!”

“We just enjoyed pizza at luigi's! It was amazing!! Tommy the owner was super nice and friendly! Ardo was our server and did a fantastic job. We really enjoyed talking to both of them! We loved the Christian music playing! This is authentic and delicious pizza which takes a bit to make but it is so worth the wait!! They use fresh ingredients, the crust is done to perfection!!”

“We went here in May while on an anniversary trip. We brought back a variety tin of cookies. We love their key lime pie ones, salted caramel, and lemon ones the best. My 4 year old grandson loves the cupcake ones. Unfortunately, it is so expensive now to have them shipped. A new place to add to our mountain trips. These are some of the best cookies I've ever eaten! I love the small bite size of the cookies.”

“BEST food and games! An absolute must while visiting Gatlinburg”

“We enjoyed the Sky Cafe the touchscreen self-service that they had was challenging especially the sun was bright and we couldn't read the menu very well and that's the only way you can order food we got the chicken tenders and fries for the kids they were okay overall it's not bad they have beer wine and other stuff but you can't beat that million dollar View”

“It looks beautiful! Can’t wait for it to open!”

“No wait. Greeted politely. Seated quickly. Our waiter, Ray, was friendly and efficient. Ordered the pork belly tacos, after Ray confirmed that there weren't any onions on it (Pico on the side). The tacos were delicious. Had a lovely conversation with the manager, Contina (hope this is the correct spelling). She was courteous and friendly.”

“Excellent customer service and so patient and kind with all our kids! cookie dough was AMAZING!!”

“Best margarita in Gatlinburg. Get the perfect!

Delicious, juicy hamburger cooked to perfection. Very tasty steak bowl.

Friendly and helpful bar staff.

French fries are over-coated with batter and greasy. Get the chips.”

“Finally found good pizza in the area! This is now my favorite pizza place. Huge portions and delicious food!”

“This was manned by the bartenders during our stay. Bar and food service was fast. Food was better than expected. Didn't have to drive and possibly pay to park just for dinner. I recommend, at least, one night in during your stay.”

“This is a bar review. The staff are great. The evening social is perfect. There are good choices for both beer, wine, and mixed drinks. They always have a nice little appetizer. Go enjoy!”

“This is a good quick breakfast option if you're staying at the resort. Order at the counter and they bring it to your table. The meat sandwiches on bagel, english muffin or croissant are a good bet, and come with potatoes. My wife enjoyed her egg white omelete and fruit plate meals. The coffee drinks were enjoyed as well. The staff was all friendly and the food came out quick. See my photos and judge for yourself - it all tasted good to us! Recommended.”

“Amanda and her team are absolutely incredible! I reached out to her for a dinner reservation for after our small chapel wedding. She went absolutely above and beyond and presented me with a table layout, arrangements for our cake, and encouraging words throughout the whole stressful process of planning a wedding. When we arrived the table was set up beyond expectation with beautiful tablecloths, runners, and flowers 😍 Amanda and the team at Vista Grill really showed how much they care about guests, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! I am so glad they were apart of our special day 💛”

“Great atmosphere, played some darts while we waited for food to come. Didn’t take long, and all 4 of us enjoyed what we got!”

“Came here on September 16…..had a great time and delicious food! Thanks to Robert & David for their fantastic service!!”

“The food was so good, we ate it all and forgot to take before pictures. so here are after pictures”

“Service was fantastic! They seated us right away. Our waitress was very understanding of my food allergies (even checking with the kitchen to be accurate) Food was superb. They did forget our appetizer, but wasn't needed after seeing the size of the entrees. Each staff member was helpful with each other and customers. Great team & great price for the location :D”

“The dough they use is amazing❣️”

“Very authentic, reasonably priced, great food! Fried chicken and plantain fries were great. Large menu of food and drinks, plus the enthusiastic service can't be beat! highly recommended.”

“This place is awesome. Drinks are fantastic. Staff is great.”

“Fast but delicious food, very surprising to find friendly welcoming servers at the end of a busy holiday weekend. After an exhausting stroll around town on such a beautiful day, we found this spot to very convenient.”

“Second time here and the food was amazing again. Our server, Bianca is absolutely fantastic. She is very polite, attentive and friendly. This place is lucky to have her working here.”

“So cute! I had the yummiest milkshake I think I’ve ever had from here. 10/10 recommend if you’re traveling to Gatlinburg and want to try the best desserts on the strip!”

“Don’t let this small, unassuming place fool you — the pizza here is delicious!
This is a small family-run business, and the pizza is always great. The dough is perfect, and everything tastes fresh and made with care. I eat here every time I visit Gatlinburg, and I have loved it every single time.
Honestly, just writing this makes me crave their pizza again!”

“My water Jeff was fabulous. Nice guy. Nice people.”

“Checked this place out because of the convenience of being located in the lobby....came back and ate the next night because the service and food was AMAZING!! Will be making this a new tradition when in town!”

“I went to this hotel twice within a two month span. First time for a weekend getaway and second time for my family Summer vacation. This place is great. The rooms are very well kept and the beds are so comfortable! They also have a wonderful pool with a hot tub, kiddy pool and a waterslide. I would recommend going to the restaurant with the bar at this hotel. My family and I got dinner from there the first night and it was delicious! The wait staff is amazing and extremely friendly. But the one thing that set this place above the rest for me was them taking my meat allergy seriously! When my family and I had breakfast there the first day I was very concerned on cross contamination with the buffet-style breakfast. My mother went to ask the chef cooking omelettes if there is anything I could eat (besides the pastries, cereal and fruit) that would not interfere with my allergy. The chef, Edward, went above and beyond to make sure that I could have some of the menu items by cleaning the grill and putting on clean gloves each time I wanted a certain food. I definitely recommend The Park Vista!”

“The food is amazing! The service is great here too! I had the beef brisket and my husband had the ribs. It was so yummy! It was close to our vacation rental and parking was a breeze!”

“Sammie was an amazing waitress! She was very sweet and accommodating at a time when the restaurant was filled to capacity. Delicious food and better service!”

“It was my daughters birthday and she wanted Cicis pizza. The staff was very nice and friendly with my kids. I must say this was one of the cleanest Cici's pizza I've been in to date. The pizza is pretty good and the girl working was willing to make any style we wanted. She made my daughter a dutch apple dessert pizza. The supreme pizza I ate was really good. I'd say my daughter was very satisfied with her birthday pick. I would definitely recommend this location. Much better than the Pigeon Forge location. Great staff, clean and good pizza.”

“Food was great, atmosphere was vibrant and service was top notch. Our waiter Cesarin was incredibly friendly and efficient. This is our first time visiting the Gatlinsburg area but if we ever come back we will certainly dine here again.”
