8 Best American Restaurants in Gatlinburg

“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.“

“Celebrating Valentine’s Day and the end of my husband’s successful cancer treatment!! As per usual, this place did not disappoint!! We were seated quickly and the service was excellent. My husband had the ribeye, seasoned and cooked perfectly medium rare. I had the grilled salmon which was fantastic as well. This place is always a destination for us when we are in Gatlinburg!“

“My husband and I had an amazing experience there today with the staff who are very kind. The food was one thing (five stars alone). The conversation was even better! We loved it and the people we met. Can’t wait to come back again!“

“Great food great service highly recommend ! Get there early !“

“I love Fannie Farkle’s. I just wish they would stay open later. I remember going here late night as a kid because it was the only thing still open. But now it’s one of the business that close at 9 pm :( when it use to stay open till midnight.“

“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!“

“We had rented a house here in town and had not gone grocery shopping yet. We headed downtown for breakfast but the lines were crazy at 10:15 on a Thursday. So, we drove out to the Double Tree's grill and arrived at 10:25. Got right in. They had a breakfast buffet which I filled a plate and then saw they had a made to order Omelette bar. Thank goodness I got one of those before they closed at 11. The fruit bar was amazing, the omelette was terrific. I nibbled the few things-bacon, potatoes, scrambled eggs and sausage biscuits and gravy off the buffet section-I would give that section 2 stars, but the fruit and omelette 5 stars. We noticed when we were leaving they had cereal, bagels, toast and english muffins, pancakes, and a good variety of juices. We had soda's (free with buffet). Two adults $37 plus tip at table and tip at omelette bar. After seeing other reviews, I wish we had received the breakfast menu, and not the lunch/dinner menu.“
