“Awesome atmosphere with even better food! 10/10 recommend ! The staff is top notch ! This is a true hidden gem tucked away from the bustling street but with a view to people watch .“

“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.“

“OMG how we did not know about this gem is beyond me but you have to look for it in the back of Baskin Square. In the back of the alley right across from Pancake Pantry. The place opened in 2005 when this amazing family evacuated after Katrina and brought their family recipes here. We split the huge Bourbon Street Beef and Gravy PoBoy dresses of course. I was so stuffed I couldn't eat another bite bur took an order of Grandma's Jambalaya home and it was out of this world! The flavors, spices, atmosphere, family, service and hospitality are all the reasons you need to make it a must go! It's truly a family business doing it right. Also, bring a dollar bill to color and staple to the wall!“

“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 the pleasure of trying delicious treats at the Creperie. The employees there were so kind to my niece who was there to try the fruit pastries. Giving that extra kindness to her meant so much to us! Thank you.“

“Nice atmosphere,great wine and delicious food!“

“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..“

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

“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!“

“We had such a great experience at Tennessee Homemade Wines! Fred was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and took the time to make us feel right at home. He made the tasting fun and informative without ever feeling rushed. Every wine we tried was absolutely delicious, with so many unique and flavorful options to choose from. You can really tell how much care goes into what they do here. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend stopping in if you’re in the area!“

“BEST cider and customer service you’ll ever get!! Family owned business with hands down the most amazing cider you’ll ever try!!! We first visited Tennessee Cider Co in May 2025 and were wowed with their amazing cider tasting. We purchased 3 bottles to take home to Texas and instantly regretted not bringing more home. We recently visited again in December 2025, and we knew we had to make Tennessee Cider Co one of our first stops. Cider Dan provided above and beyond service and we left with 6 bottles this time! Every cider flavor they have is truly delicious, but our favorites are hands down the pineapple, peach, golden apple, and cider donut.
If you’re looking for an amazing cider tasting experience, with an great atmosphere and phenomenal customer service, Tennessee Cider Co is the place! We’ll forever be customers!!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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...“

“We loved everything about this hidden gem off the main craziness of Gatlinburg! Unlimited bottles of yummy stuff, great food, fun atmosphere and super friendly owners. AND its pet friendly!!!!!“

“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.“

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

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

“We got take-out here a couple of times, and- wow. Some very good pizza and wings. My kids loved the mac n cheese of course. The Bigfoot pizza may have been the best pizza I’ve ever had, and the brimstone wings were spicy with a ton of flavor. If I’m being picky, the meat on a couple of the other pizzas was a bit dry, and the mac n cheese could have used some more salt/cheese. Overall, great stuff you guys are cooking up!“

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

“The dough they use is amazing❣️“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Indoor dining is fantastic food & service!“

“I stayed on the 14th floor. The view was spectacular; the fall foliage at its peak. The food was fair. The bed was very comfortable. The room attendants were great; we always had fresh towels.
They have started charging for parking, which was new since my last visit. That really gets expensive if you have a large group.“

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

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

“There was no wait to be seated. The food was good just wished the fajitas came with more vegetables. The ratio between vegetables and protein could be more balanced. The fried ice cream was a big hit with the family. The restaurant is centrally located which makes it nice to walk to during a cool evening. The food could use a little more spice. The salsa did not have any spice but the cheese dip did have a little bit I'd spice. The food spice level is definitely kid friendly. The staff are friendly.“

“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,“
