“We stopped in for the Reuben Sandwich that we’ve heard so much about … and it didn’t disappoint!! My husband just wanted a good quality hotdog and Jed’s serves Nathan’s, so he was very satisfied. Josh, Luke and Genevieve were the best hosts ever. So warm and friendly. They made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our lunch outside on their lovely patio. Genevieve checked on us multiple times and offered water for our pup Sissy! Seriously, make Jed’s a stopping point on your visit to Gatlinburg!!“

“Lunch was great. Service is impeccable. Food, just mmmmmmm! I'm addicted to the gumbo. Crab cakes are delicious, never had a bad meal here. We purposely drive over the mountain from Cherokee just to eat here. Try it, you won't be disappointed!“

“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!“

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

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

“What a fun experience. The place was super busy, but after a short wait, we were able to belly up to the bar and start our taste testing. Our bar tender was awesome. Super friendly and a barrel of laughs. We loved all the great samples, and they had a great deal going on, so we came home with plenty to drink. If you visit all 3 locations and get a stamp, you get a free T-shirt. We will definitely come back for another visit..“

“I give it a 4 star only because I thought the flavor of the ice cream was as good as any. Definitely a great place to go get a sweet treat. Line moves quickly. Shakes are so cute!“

“Wait was an hour at 10am on a Wednesday, so we decided to grab a bite elsewhere since we were getting hangry. We had to have one of the cinnamon rolls all the reviews raved about, so we got it to go to enjoy at the cabin with a coffee. It was good but the icing came on the side, which I appreciated since we didn't eat it right away, but there wasn't enough. The reviews that are from when you dine in and order a cinnamon roll are swimming in icing. That being said I would definitely recommend but order it there bc I imagine it would be warm and fluffy and plenty of icing, which is what we'll do next time we visit.“

“Great donuts, coffee and service! 🍩 Will definitely be back the next time we’re in Gatlinburg.“

“This is a must eat ..It was great the food the service.. A+“

“I stopped into Tennessee Cider Company on a recent trip to Gatlinburg and had a great time. The vibe was laid-back and welcoming, and the staff made it easy to relax and enjoy the experience. Special shoutout to Ryan Rees, who was behind the bar—he was super friendly, helpful with recommendations, and just made the whole visit better.

The tasting setup is great: you can try a couple samples for free, or pay a modest fee to taste through everything they have on tap, including some fun seasonal options. Every cider I tried was solid, with the Peach Mimosa and the Black & Blue standing out as favorites for their refreshing, well-balanced flavors.

The Pumpkin Pie cider was definitely a seasonal highlight—sweet, spiced, and festive. I really liked it, though I think it would be even better with just a little less flavoring to avoid the candle-like aftertaste. Still, it’s a cozy fall drink worth trying.

All in all, this is a spot I’d definitely recommend if you’re in Gatlinburg. Between the friendly service, the variety of flavors, and the relaxed atmosphere, conscience of access close to Anakeesta and Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies, Tennessee Cider Company is an easy stop I’d make again.“

“Everything was excellent including the service!“

“We wanted a new place to try and found this while exploring town. Glad we did! The staff is great! The sandwich and Fritos pie was so delicious! definitely recommend!“

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

“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.“

“Came in during our stop on the wine/cider trail. Good selection of wines available. As with everyone we experienced during this they were now it’s all about the products asked people in our group what they liked offered suggestions and we’re overall lesson well worth the stop if you’re in Gatlinburg.“

“I was on the hunt for coffee before we stared out day in Gatlinburg. My husband found this shop tucked away in a corner so I gave it a go. The iced Raspberry Mocha was delicious and just what I needed. Customer service was amazing and the coffee was made quickly. Be sure to check them out when you visit.“

“pizza is fantastic no flop excellent char on bottom and garlic wow over the top .I really thought It was bar pizza but let me tell you from NY and do reviews this place is local and fantastic it deserves a master score I'll give it a 8.3 ..forgetaboutit productions...“

“Clean, quick, polite, good food, excellent soup/sandwiches.“

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

“We stopped in for lunch today. Actually, this place was the reason we drove out there in the first place. The Shepherd’s Pie and the Poacher’s Roll were excellent. We shared a Sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert and loved every bite. They were very friendly, and this place is the real deal. We will be back.“

“What a great place to dine. We stop here every time we are in Tennessee. Great service and good selection of food on the menu. Everything we have tried has been excellent. Too full to eat dessert and the dessert case will make you want to take something to go. Can't wait to come back.“

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

“fantastic meal. I don't say this ever, but I don't think I could have made the steak any better myself. 5 stars.“

“The dough they use is amazing❣️“

“We stop here whenever we are in Gatlinburg and really enjoy chatting with the staff and the soft serve ice cream. Highly recommended. Thank you.“

“Pretzels, pizza, sandwiches, drinks and ice cream available. We ate warm pretzels and hot pizza and had some delicious ice cream. For a quick bite on the mountain, it was good. Not a very big area inside with limited seating, but it is quaint and cozy with beautiful views. Many visitors ordered their food from the window on the lower floor and ate outside.“

“Their deep fried oreo were really good. The soft serve icecream was okayish. Didn’t like it that much. I could’ve tried something else for dessert. Also don’t be fooled with the pictures- the mini donuts looking things are actually the deep fried oreo’s lol.
Their service was okay, seemed like all of them were trying to help you but non of them were actually helping they were just being loud to grab more customers.“

“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“

“Beautiful Hotel! The bar on site was a rip off. I truly believe they did not put alcohol in the mixed drinks,however they charged a lot for the drinks. Pool was great staff was friendly and incredible. Would recommend staying here just don't get drinks from bar.

Food and drinks: Like I said the bar on site was a rip off. They did not put any alcohol in mixed drink and the femal bartender was rude.“

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

“Fabulous Service, Wonderful Wines, Amazing local mountain history, and Always an abundance of Laughter! We look forward to our next visit!“

“Indoor dining is fantastic food & service!“

“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,“

“Without a doubt, the best Mexican food I’ve ever had in my life. Will definitely be back again! We walked in and were seated immediately without a wait on Saturday afternoon. I got the chicken fajitas. Nice thick, white meat chicken fajita strips with all the trimmings and the salsa is absolutely incredible!!!“
