47 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Gatlinburg

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Great food friendly staff great service!!“

“Ask for Mary she is great“

“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.“

“This place is so cute! Nestled in the heart of the Smoky Mountains, Tennessee Cider Company offers a refreshing, flavorful twist on traditional mountain tastings that stands out amid Gatlinburg's sea of moonshine distilleries. From the moment you step up to the tasting bar, the atmosphere is warm, relaxed, and genuinely welcoming. The staff makes sampling effortless and fun, walking you through an inventive lineup of hard ciders that range from crisp, authentic apple classics to bold, Southern-inspired fruit blends. Whether you are sipping on fan favorites like Spiced Apple and Blackberry or cooling off on a warm afternoon with one of their famous frozen cider slushies, the clean taste and quality fermentation shine through in every pour.

Beyond the excellent drink selection, the overall experience makes it a must-visit stop for both casual tourists and cider enthusiasts. Bottles and growlers are easy to pack up to enjoy back at a cabin or take home as souvenirs, and their warm mulled cider during the cooler autumn months is mountain comfort in a cup. With generous tastings, budget friendly prices, and a distinctive flavor portfolio you will not find anywhere else in the region, Tennessee Cider Company delivers an easy five-star stop on any Parkway itinerary.“

“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!“

“A friend and I got to go orders, the people were so friendly while we waited and the food was amazing even after waiting to eat until we got home. The breakfast virtuous were amazing and well seasoned turkey sausage, and crispy tater tots! My blackberry pancakes were light and fluffy and the whipped cream was FIRE!!! 10/10 loved this place!!!“

“Nice atmosphere,great wine and delicious food!“

“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.“

“Amazing Beer & Cider! Their pizza was also Amazing. I will definitely be going back.“

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

“Great food friendly staff great service!!“

“We had such a wonderful experience at this winery! The atmosphere was lovely, the wine was fantastic, and the hospitality truly made our visit memorable. A special shoutout to Cara! Her kindness, thoughtfulness, and genuine care for her guests really stood out. It’s not every day you encounter someone who goes the extra mile and makes you feel so welcomed and appreciated. Cara is a true asset to this winery, and we hope she knows how much her kindness means to her guests! We can’t recommend this place enough and look forward to coming back! 🍷“

“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..“

“Our food came out so quick and was delicious!“

“Food has always been amazing!! Service has always been great for us! The remodel is beautiful!!“

“Great drinks. Great food. Great service. What else do you need? 😍“

“We always eat here when we are in town! Their pot pie is amazing!! We were there one night when they were very short staffed ( last year )and he actually gave our waitress money out of his own pocket because she always showed up when she was supposed to and complemented her in front of a lot of customers. I will always support that! ☺️“

“We live in the area but to be honest after my hubby was unimpressed with the quality and service when he ate here during our first year we had not been back. Then we realized it is under new ownership and we have been missing out for two-years! I had the Morning Mist Chicken Sandwich and it was wonderful. Hubby had the cheese steak which he said was tasty and very generous with the meat. Service was quick and friendly. Excited to have another lunch option nearby.“

“Best steak fajitas I have ever had...they were tender, juicy, and flavorfull... totally recommend this place! Staff were very friendly, attentive and the food was quick!“

“Solid 5 stars! Amazing filet, prime rib, Neva’s potatoes, bread, and cheesecake. Everything was top notch and service was great as well. We will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“Stopped for lunch with my son and we were not disappointed. The restaurant was clean and the staff and our waitress was very friendly. We did not have a long wait. The meat portion was larger than expected. The coleslaw was the best I have ever had out and the garlic butter biscuits were good as well. We shared the banana pudding for dessert and enjoyed that as well. No complaints! It is also awesome that it is a short walk from some of the hotels down here at the entrance of the park.“

“What an amazing experience we had on 9/8/26. After a trip to Cherokee and seeing all the fisherman out catching Trout we really wanted to try it. We stumbled upon the Trout House and it had great reviews. We were immediately greeted by a gentleman and the service was on point the whole dinner. Hush Puppies and Chips delicious, Trout Fritters delicious and the Blackened Trout and Cole Slaw were five ⭐️. It was nice to try something new. We will be back!!“

“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.“

“We just enjoyed pizza at luigi's! It was amazing!! Tommy the owner was super nice and friendly! Ardo was our server and did a fantastic job. We really enjoyed talking to both of them! We loved the Christian music playing! This is authentic and delicious pizza which takes a bit to make but it is so worth the wait!! They use fresh ingredients, the crust is done to perfection!!“

“We went the first day of Bear-varian festival. It was really fun and the food and drinks were delicious! Lots of cute themed shows during the day and the fall decor was adorable. The mountain coasters, treetop walk, and zip lining made for a memorable day. During zip lining I just couldn't do that part where you step off the ledge to drop to the next line, so the woman guide (I think her name was Charity?) walked the stairs with me instead. The other two guides, Nick and Reid, were great and kept us safe and laughing with silly jokes. It was a great time all around and you couldn't beat those mountain views!!!“

“We visit Smoky Mountain Brewery frequently. It is one of our favorite places in Gatlinburg. The food is always great along with the service. We always eat in the bar because our favorite server is Oana from Romania. She always remembers what beer we drink and when she takes our order she never writes anything down which always amazes us. She is very attentive and always pleasant to talk to. One of the reasons we always enjoy our visits to the Brewery.“

“What a nice surprise! We found New York Pizza and Pasta while exploring the retro Gatlinburg Mountain Mall where it's located. While I like pizza, I was more interested in trying something we don't have at home. Thank goodness my family was hungry and we stopped here. This is the best cheese bread I've ever tried in my life! The pizza was good too, and the restaurant is a cute place that fits right in with the retro vibe of the mall. I do wish they had free refills, but it seems to be the norm in the Gatlinburg area. Strongly recommend!“

“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“

“Adam was great! Best first time there!“

“The dough they use is amazing❣️“

“There was a long line at a popular place nearby but we luckily found this place! The omelets, pancakes, Waffles and everything were huge servings and phenomenal! Only the mimosa and the bloody Mary were a disappointment really. Coffee was good and hot and you can get to go cups as well“

“Indoor dining is fantastic food & service!“

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

“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 loved it. It has the most amazing views. It is located on the top of a hill. I give location a 4 star because you can't easily walk from the hotel to the shopping areas. However, there is a trolley pick up you can use. Bonus as soon as we pulled in the drive there was a bear hanging out. The pool area is gorgeous.“

“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!“

“Visited in August while spending some time in Gatlinburg. Pretty standard Mexican restaurant as far as the food goes, but the location gives it a little something extra. Being right in the heart of town with a view of the river flowing by makes for a neat dining experience. A nice place to stop for a meal while exploring Gatlinburg.“

“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.“

“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!!!“
