“This Waffle House was the best one I have ever been to. Food was perfect and service was wonderful. We ate there two times during our stay in Pigeon Forge. It was extremely busy both times but we were in and out in about 30 minutes. And the staff were genuinely friendly and happy despite the busyness. Tristan was our waitress both times and she was great!“

“Also i feel that the Waitress at the Burlington NJ location is kind and welcoming to me & my husband who are older. We appreciate how she talks about new items to try. I will definitely request her area to sit since she is full time waitress“

“Do you like your griddle cakes about 4 inches tall??? Then this is the place for you. Tons of pancake spots in Gatlinburg, this one is exceptional. We had the griddle cake, the waffle, the candied apples and corned beef hash. I’m not sure I knew what a griddle cake was, but it’s basically like a pancake and some corn bread started a family together. Delicious! Fat and fluffy and savory and buttery. The candied apples were sweet and dripping with sugary butter and were so heavenly on the griddle cakes. There’s just too many options! Candied apples, syrup, whipped butter. The waffle was just as good the griddle cake, golden brown and crispy. And a little savory compliment to all of it was the corned beef hash, it was fresh and not greasy and you could taste the potatoes and onion and beef individually. The service was prompt and friendly, the atmosphere is a fun old mountain log cabin, and the music is great. Real mountain strings with heart and soul, not like some of the faux nouveau mainstream country crap they play in the tourist spots all over Gatlinburg. One of the great breakfasts of my life on one of the great vacations of my life in the Great Smoky Mountains. If you need delicious breakfast in this neck of the woods this is the spot.“

“Service was horrible . You weren’t busy had to ask 3 times for water. Cop an attitude. The host is in the wrong location . She can’t see people walking in. Even when they did she never went around to greet customers. She was on her on phone .“

“My wife and I ate here on 9/7/26 and we had a great experience. It was not too busy, even though Crockett’s next door has a crowd outside waiting to get in. Our waiter, I believe his name was Dennis, was excellent. He was very friendly and attentive and it seemed like his job was effortless for him. He made sure we were taken care of, including filling drinks without us asking for more. I had biscuits and gravy with eggs and home fries. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the biscuits and gravy were decent with plenty of sausage. My wife had a waffle and she said it was the fluffiest waffle she’s ever had. The staff as whole seemed to be on top of their jobs and were friendly. We would definitely consider going back if we return to Gatlinburg.“

“The atmosphere and service was wonderful. The food was pretty good, however the cinnamon roll had a little too much frosting for us. If you’re not a big fan of frosting I would recommend you ask for a little and maybe get some on the side. It also isn’t what you except for a frosting. Chicken and waffles were good and the chicken fried steak was just ok might have been just a little over cooked.“

“Jamie is the best server!!! Loved her sense of humor.“

“I recommend the waitress Monica Barrera at the IHOP in Panorama City Calif as she gives such great and wonderful service. She asks if everything is ok and always comes back to give refills. This is much appreciated. Best wishes from the original Johnny Blaze, and "may the Blaze be with you."“
