46 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Gatlinburg

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

“A smaller, cozy spot where the wait staff provides outstanding service while serving great home-cooked food from the kitchen. I always notice how clean the dining area is and Trishs passed with flying colors. Keep up the good work and we will always return when we’re in the Gatlinburg area!“

“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 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 💛“

“Great food friendly staff great service!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I can not put into words the experience we just had at this restaurant. I have had unbelievable meals in the past, but this is #1 on my list. From the time we arrived, atmosphere, staff, and food, I felt like a queen. Everything was timed perfectly. The food was exhilarating. I closed my eyes, and I could taste every ingredient involved. If you ever come down to Gatlinburg, I 100 % recommend visiting. It's totally worth the money!“

“Great food friendly staff great service!!“

“This is still a really good place and the price is good for feeding a family in a tourist area. I just feel like the food changed from last year when we stopped in. The huevos rancheros used to come in a skillet, this time it was on a plate and wasn’t as good as I remember. However, the pancakes were still amazing!“

“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.“

“Delicious, hot, and fast. Service was amazing. The hostess was the sweetest to my kids.“

“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..“

“Everything was excellent including the service!“

“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!“

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

“Nice atmosphere,great wine and delicious food!“

“After a terrible experience down the street, we came here for a tasting on the wine trail. Doug was awesome and more than made up for the lack of service and rudeness experienced at the previous cider company. We bought some great wine while on our 29th anniversary from Doug who happened to share the same anniversary date. 10/10 recommend!! Thanks Doug!!“

If you ever come ask for her. W e cant wait til next yr. Thanks Tiffany for an amazing time and hope you have the best New Year!“

“They were slammed with a group of 50 people just before we arrived so it took a bit to get seated and get our food. Caleb was excellent but you could tell he was just overwhelmed. However he was super apologetic and kept up the best he could. Food is worth the wait!“

“Exceptional melt-in-your-mouth filet, Valente our server was delightful, great cocktails, fresh salad. Been to every steakhouse in Gatinlinburg and tonight we found the best!“

“Wonderful meal friendly staff we had a party of 8 people we were seated quickly food was excellent definitely in my opinion the best steak house in the smokies“

“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.“

“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❣️“

“Fabulous! Worth every dollar!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Indoor dining is fantastic food & service!“

“We recently visited Sun Diner while visiting Gatlinburg. It was our first time ever eating here. It was me, my husband and our 2 youngest adult children aged 19 & 20.
We sat at the bar stools. I ordered a chicken bites kids meal with a lemon water, daughter ordered chicken bites with a dr pepper, husband and son ordered breakfast tacos.
The server, can't recall her name, kept our drinks filled. My chicken bites were overdone, but still tasted good.
I enjoyed the old timey celeb photographs and the huge tv with music playing of Johnny Cash or Elvis.
Plus, after a hot, humid day, it was nice to cool down in there.
I would recommend this place for anyone visiting Gatlinburg.“

“The pizza was great the only thing was we ordered alot of pizzas and we get more chesse pizza when we ordered more meat pizzas, but it end up workin out because most of the kids wanted the chesse pizza, so Thank everyone for puttin in the work to make all them pizza for my family, oh and everyone there was so nice and friendly!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Not entirely authentic, but the food was still okay and seasoned. Dinner came with complementary chips and salsa. We were surprised that almost all menu items defaulted to using flour tortillas, but requesting corn tortillas was not an issue as the restaurant was very accommodating =). The little sweet corn masa on the side was a new thing to us and it ended up being good and not too sweet. If I had to compare it to someone who has never had this, I would say it is similar to moist cornbread with sweet corn.“

“I definitely recommend going but based on others probably not on the weekend. We went skiing yesterday (a Monday) and we were able to park in the 2nd parking lot up top (there are 3), paid $20. One thing that I was unsure of but now know is you don’t have to buy the fun pass if you want to just ski so it was nice because we saved money just paying for our kids to ski (older kids) and we watched. Even though it was man made snow, they had a blast being their first time. Everyone we encountered from helmet and ski rentals to concessions and outdoor workers were very nice too. It got pretty busy by 3-3:30 so best time in my opinion is a weekday first thing when it opens but be careful driving up the mountain if you do, very narrow with an immediate steep ditch and we passed a car that fell off the road on the way out and got half stick which would be a big bummer.“
