13 Best American Restaurants in Gatlinburg

“Went there twice during our stay in Gatlinburg. Awesome food and great drinks! Service was 💯. Oh and they have a beer wall 🤌“

“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.“

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

“Excellent food my family recommended we come here and try it. Did not disappoint“

“Absolutely the best brisket ever! A great place with wonderful food! Skip downtown Gatlinburg and go 5 minutes to this place- you won’t regret it!“

“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!“

““Whenever we vacation in Gatlinburg, this is always one of our favorite lunch stops! This time there were 7 of us, and everyone loved their meals. The adults had the Reuben, original BBQ, and BLTs, while the kids enjoyed hot dog and grilled cheese meals. Everything was fresh, delicious, and the service was so friendly and welcoming. Thank you for always making our Gatlinburg trips even better — we’ll definitely be back!”“

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

“we are at puckers today and enjoyed a great meal with an outstanding waitress named chrissy. thanks for a great meal and great service“

“JOIN THE WAIT LIST. This restaurant is absolutely worth the wait. Everything is made from scratch. The food is delicious. The omelette is huge and tastes like real egg not fake eggs. The pancakes are so moist and fluffy. This place is a must! We had a huge party and the service was amazing. I will be back!!

Two things to note- the steak skillet is NOT steak it’s just a burger. I’m not sure why they use the word steak. Also parking is $20 which is rediculous, I wish they validated parking. This area takes advantage of tourists- not necessarily the restaurants fault.“

“Inside Embassy Suites, this is the small restaurant and across from the bar. The food is priced much like the restaurants in town. The portions are large, well worth what you pay. Can order for room service or eat in the restaurant. Ordered fries and had enough for at least 2 people with plenty left over. Can order poolside service at the bar. Same kitchen as the hotel breakfast, so fast and good food.“

“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.“
