“We were not expecting the great food & service we received while at Crawdaddy's Restaurant & Oyster Bar in Gatlinburg! My drink was topped off like my sister made it! The food was fresh! The night ended with Lana @Hollywood Pictures leaving us with everlasting memories! We definitely will be returning!!!”
“Really can't go wrong here. Food was cooked perfectly. Atmosphere was great. We were seated near a window with a view of the river. Service was great, attentive but not constantly checking. Yes, a little pricey but you get what you pay for.”
“Alliana B, our server, offered suggestions which turned out to be perfect. She was attentive and friendly, but not hovering. Quick to respond to our requests. For starters we tried the oyster sampler... broiled, Rockefeller and Maryland, all good. Grandson had the fried seafood platter which was quite large and reportedly delicious. I had the broiled seafood platter which I also can report was outstanding. Of particular note was the solid crab meat crab cake...no breading, all crab! We happened to see a platter of crab legs go past and had to have some as well, delicious. Dinner and service well deserving of the 5 star rating. Especially for an inland seafood restaurant.Parking: Adjacent lot”
“This place was incredible ?My family enjoyed everything we ordered. We were seated as soon as we came in despite it being busy, our drink order was taken quickly as well. All the staff were very friendly, lively and social. We started with appetizers, we ordered mozzarella sticks and fried mushrooms 10/10.It wasn’t long after we finished our appetizers that our dinner arrived. I ordered the steak med/well, teriyaki vegetables, and baked beans. My steak was just right, it didn’t even need steak sauce because it was so well seasoned and cooked. Pictures of my meal below. Our waitress was very attentive to us during our visit. We will definitely be returning here on our next visit to Gatlinburg.”
“Great food! Schooner malbec was great. Engaging hosts with a wonderful menu. We loved the small plates and just kept trying more. The best restaurant we visited in Gatlinburg. A great place for foodies.”

“When we walked in, the host was literally asleep. After I knocked on the host stand he popped his head up and seemed a little... oh I don't know, high maybe? He was wearing a badge that said "Manager" on it. So his nap time was interesting. He was also smoking right outside of the front door entrance. The food and drinks were awesome though. And our waitress was very friendly. I'd certainly give this place another try!”
“We celebrated our 28th anniversary at the Park Grill, we have eaten there many times before when traveling through the area. Our server was Don, he was one of the best servers we have ever had, upon hearing it was our anniversary he produced a candle for a more romantic experience! Another memorable dinner at The Park Grill.”

“Love this place! Forget downtown Gatlinburg... this off the beaten path place is awesome. Self pour beer is really cool. Definitely will visit when we are back this way!”
“This restaurant did live up to the reviews on it. If pancakes are what you are looking for as a breakfast option then this is the place to be. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because the breakfast options outside of that are extremely limited. Service was fast and friendly even though the place was packed with a constant flow of people. This is not the place if you are looking for a quiet breakfast by any means. But it was delicious, could have eaten breakfast here every day we were in town.Parking: There is no parking at this location. You will have to park in one of the lots or garages and walk to the restaurant. So factor in another $10-$20 for your total meal.”
“After riding all day (and after two terrible meals on the road!!) we went in search of something good to eat in downtown Gatlinburg. Everything was either packed or already closed until my hubby spotted The New Orleans Sandwich Company! Oh my gosh!! If you blink you will miss it but please LOOK for it. It's a very small, cozy place with some of the best food you will ever eat! The Seafood Gumbo was off the chain! Do yourself a favor!! We will def be going back before we end our trip!!”
“Great food! Schooner malbec was great. Engaging hosts with a wonderful menu. We loved the small plates and just kept trying more. The best restaurant we visited in Gatlinburg. A great place for foodies.”
“This is a great place for breakfast in a Gatlinburg! And the prices were great too! We live in a very small town in Illinois, and the breakfast here was cheaper than at our local place at home, which was surprising, considering its location.Food was great, service was great!”
“Absolutely loved this place. The food was amazing, the family that owns and operates it were super friendly. Enjoyed hearing them singing in the kitchen while they cooked our breakfast. 100% recommend. Came back again a year later and it's still absolutely amazing.”
“Best pancakes I've ever had. Service was excellent. It was extremely busy, but didn't take long. The staff worked together and hustled to get everyone served throughout the meal.”
“We celebrated our 28th anniversary at the Park Grill, we have eaten there many times before when traveling through the area. Our server was Don, he was one of the best servers we have ever had, upon hearing it was our anniversary he produced a candle for a more romantic experience! Another memorable dinner at The Park Grill.”
“Absolutely delicious!The food was fresh, delicious, and the portions were HUGE!Having read about the two different Best Italians in Gatlinburg, I knew that this was the one to pick and Google didn't steer us wrong.My only regret is that we visited on the last night of our holiday, so we didn't get a chance to dine there again.If we ever return to Gatlinburg, we will definitely be eating here again.”
“The food and service is bar none the best. Every piece of food we ate there was so delicious. I had to buy the home made jam that they have, it was soooooo good. When I go back to Tennessee I will frequent that place four times out 7 days. The chicken was so good and clean, not greasy at all.”
“We went with our family and friends, and loved this restaurant. The customer service was another level... the server was David, and he was always smiling. And the chef was Leo, who was kind, and had great customer service skills. Thank you for serving us! :)”
“I haven't been able to visit Loco Burro due to personal situations, but I do want to go because according to really important people to me, one of the best waitress is Noelia. She's a super fun, super caring person and makes you feel special when you are served by her. One of the visits will be definitely at Loco Burro, just to be served by that wonderful human being and to taste the fajitas.”
“The beer was good, not overly crowded. Pizza was delish! If you like flat bread pizza try the califlour crust, it is so good and you cannot taste the difference.”

Get a different cheese. Dessert was my favorite part! We got the caramel and chocolate mix. The service was 10/10 and we loved how they have private , intimate booths. It made it so romantic. Loved it!”

“After shopping in the warm weather, my husband and I wanted something to cool down with, so we stopped in at Glades Soda Fountain for some cool treats, and we were not disappointed!!Stepping inside felt like taking a step back to the 50's which helped set the mood, and the soda jerk we had was so fun to talk to and really knew her products well!I had a cream soda float and I think my husband had a grape soda. Highly recommend stopping here!!”
“Dry small with seating at a window bar for three. Selection of handcrafted coffee and bakery items. Coffee was good. Cinnamon roll was also good. Neither are worth a drive to get here, but worth stopping if you're touring Crafters Loop. Service was friendly.”
“Super cute store! We got very lucky and had no wait! The barresta was quick! Prices are awesome! My husband got the peppermint moca and loved it! I got the hot chocolate and it was perfect in every way! The location of the store is tucked in a cute nook behind the fire fountain! Super cute photo spot too!”

The Mac and cheese was a little thick and overall creamy for my taste but I would absolutely go back for the BBQ.Parking: This is located in downtown Gatlinburg. If you are lucky you can find free street parking otherwise it is paid.”

“Looking for great wings or pizza while visiting Gatlinburg? I highly recommend Smoky Mountain Brewery.The pizza is tasty, and wings are on point with several different sauces to choose from. The potato skins are unique with the addition of chicken- good but not as good as the wings and pizza.We visit Gatlinburg a few times a year and make a point to stop by for lunch or dinner at least once.Friendly customer service.”

“Cute shop with lots of goodies. The lady giving samples was so rude and judgmental it was like she got paid in cookies and we were taking her cookies. The oatmeal cookie is delicious and I totally would have bought some but the lady was so rude I couldn’t get out of the store fast enough. Don’t have a 10 recommend going to a different location. UPDATED REVIEW!!Thank you Jeff and Michelle. I was able to speak with Michelle and express may concerns about my experience. I know she cared and was very apologetic. Michelle and Jeff are very professional and love their company. I know they too view feed back as a training opportunity. They will be sending me some samples which I will share a picture and video when they arrive.I look forward to meeting with Michelle when I come to town. Thank you for the great recovery customer service.”
“This is a delivery pizza place with a few tables so you can dine in. Drinks are served in cans with glasses . No ice was offered. Pizza was good, would eat it again. The fries were the best food on the table, that means they were spot on and good.”
“Great food , I got the Turkey Club- I highly recommend it! It's huge and and delicious, in fact I had to take half of it back to our room. Our server Joe was super nice and accomadating!

“One of my favorite spots to eat when I’m in Gatlinburg. pizza is always FANTASTIC! And the staff is always very friendly. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area”

The alcohol selection is vast and the service is superb.Wheelchair accessibility: This establishment has ramp access and plenty of room for wheelchair portability.”
“Love the protein shakes! As someone who likes to eat healthy, I appreciate that Gatlinburg Nutrition has protein shakes and healthy options! We need more places like this around!”

Everything was delicious and the service was perfect! Highly recommended!Dietary restrictions: Knowledgeable about gluten free options”
“Dinner with the family was good for the most part. Our waiter Victor was great, he was super kind and quick with his service! We ordered the vista grill salad with chicken, chicken caesar salad, the simply grilled chicken, and the chopped steak. Everything was good, except the chopped steak. It was just bland and in the menu it is made out to be very flavorful and exciting but it really wasn’t. Other than that, the rest of the food was good, fresh, and warm. It’s a nice option for when you don’t want to leave the hotel.”
“Like most, we spend a good chunk of the day at the Westgate Smoky Mountain Resort & Water Park. Naturally, frolicking in the water builds an appetite. The most convenient spot to grab a bite is Roaring Fork Snack Bar. What's nice is that you can roll up in your swim attire (shirts and toweled-dry is socially encouraged) and have a bite. Their menu is small but does cover all the bases from child to adult. Some of the portions are pretty sizable too - my salad was HUGE! And tasty, all the food was - it really hit the spot and fueled us for another few hours. The staff is really the high point here. They are all so friendly and accommodating, not to mention quick and wonderful cooks! Whether you're an owner at Westgate, or just a visitor, they treat you like family. If you have kids who love pools then I highly recommend spending the day at the water park and eating at Roaring Fork. It makes for a fun-filled, full-bellies time!”
“We were celebrating our 33rd wedding anniversary and decided to give it a try. Such a unique restaurant with the water flowing over the tin roof and splashing down into the pond filled with Koi fish. The prime rib was delishly smoked and the sweet potato fries are amazing but when dipped into whipped cream, the of over the top. Almost a funnel cake flavor. The burger was the best we have ever had and the ribeye's flavor was superb. Loved the Pina colodas and the lemon drop martini.”
“We had a great time eating breakfast here - the food was wonderful, and the service was excellent! Everyone was super friendly and very attentive to our two children. We really appreciated how great all of the staff were!Kid-friendliness: The kids loved the options on the kid's menu!”

“Fun place with great food. Apps and drinks on the patio which was disappointing but…… dinning room was fun and the atmosphere was festive. Food and service was excellent. Prices were very fair for a touristy restaurant in a touristy town. We would def go back.”
“We just happened to stumble into this place looking for a quick lunch, but realized quick that it was a bit on the expensive side, but nonetheless it was a great meal. I got the Shrimp Po Bear, which was really good.”

It has a comforting atmosphere where the staff treat you like family. We met the owner Geri who wants everyone to have a great meal and experience. We love this place and will return!”
“Hidden gem! We found this place by chance and will return. Service wad a bit slow but it isn't fast food. Everything was fresh, and gave my family time to socialize and meet new people. Very casual atmosphere but not a bar, family friendly.They had a great selection of beer. The food menu isn't huge but everyone in my party of 6 really liked the food. We most definitely will return.”
“Just pull in it won’t disappoint. We like our food well seasoned and we can both cook so we love to compare ours to everyone else’s. Everything we had here was delicious. The Mac n chz is delicious (& you know not everyone can make mac n chz like they think they can) lol. Each chicken dish was very crispy and juicy! We are planning a future trip here with our kids and already talking about coming here to eat.Parking: Plenty and it’s free.”

“This was our first time here and we were celebrating a birthday so decided it was a good place to celebrate. At first we weren't sure we were on the correct road as it looked residential but then there it was. The complimentary cornbread appetizer was delicious! The Filet was melt in your mouth Perfect! I got it Medium and it was cooked perfect! Some places you have to say Med Rare to get it like Medium or they cook it too long, but it was perfect and delicious! It came with soup or salad and I got the Tomato Goat Cheese Basil Soup and it was very good. One of us got the Duck and got it Medium Rare as suggested, and it had a great flavor but was way too tough which was disappointing. Someone got the chicken and it was tough. The asparagus was not cooked long enough. Sweet potatoes and Sweet tea were great! The service was Awesome, he was wonderful! Nice ambiance! We will be back for the steak for sure!”
“Only stopped for drinks - the couple next to us had oysters though and they seemed to be impressed. It was really quiet as we were the only other people in there. Service was understandably swift. I tried the oyster shooter. Not sure why but wasn't expecting to have an oyster in the glass - oops? prices are a tad steep. They have lots of Christmas decorations and music so feels really festive. Also have tvs for sports. And the restrooms are clean and spacious.”
“The atmosphere was techno music. It was so loud you could not hear each other. I was expecting country or Irish or scottish music... save the techno for party scenes where it matches. The band was great later at night. Take notes from Meehan in St. Augustine Florida, you can't get in for a reason. They play good music that fits the scene Drop Kick Murphy, Flogging Molly, or country music ext...”
“My son and I stopped in to get a drink while my husband was forging a knife next door at Gatlinburg Forge and Blade and we decided to try the donuts and they were delicious. They had a nice crisp to the outside with a soft moist center. We got the glaze and chocolate- they were sweet but not overly sweet. Definitely and highly recommend!”
“Nice little coffee shop with very nice staff. Was walking distance from our hotel. Can’t recommend enough. And tucked into a little corner off the main drag (which we really liked). Definitely will be back our next trip up. Very welcoming and accepting in our experience.”
“When we walked in, the host was literally asleep. After I knocked on the host stand he popped his head up and seemed a little... oh I don't know, high maybe? He was wearing a badge that said "Manager" on it. So his nap time was interesting. He was also smoking right outside of the front door entrance. The food and drinks were awesome though. And our waitress was very friendly. I'd certainly give this place another try!”

“If you find yourself in Gatlinburg, the Pizzeria of Gatlinburg is a culinary gem that’s not to be missed. Their menu caters wonderfully to vegetarians, with a delightful variety of pizzas that tantalize the taste buds.The pesto base pizza is a standout, bursting with flavor, and the classic cheese pizza is a testament to the art of simplicity done right. Don’t forget to try their crispy fries, a perfect side to the main event. This pizzeria is a must-visit for a satisfying meal that will leave you planning your next visit before you’ve even left. ?”
“This restaurant did live up to the reviews on it. If pancakes are what you are looking for as a breakfast option then this is the place to be. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because the breakfast options outside of that are extremely limited. Service was fast and friendly even though the place was packed with a constant flow of people. This is not the place if you are looking for a quiet breakfast by any means. But it was delicious, could have eaten breakfast here every day we were in town.Parking: There is no parking at this location. You will have to park in one of the lots or garages and walk to the restaurant. So factor in another $10-$20 for your total meal.”
“My daughter and I walked in by chance and were super impressed with the service and the food. I ordered a ribeye, mashed potato and green beans. It was delicious. My daughter had the same sides but with hamburger steak & gravy. The portions were large for the price and the atmosphere was great!”

“Absolutely delicious!The food was fresh, delicious, and the portions were HUGE!Having read about the two different Best Italians in Gatlinburg, I knew that this was the one to pick and Google didn't steer us wrong.My only regret is that we visited on the last night of our holiday, so we didn't get a chance to dine there again.If we ever return to Gatlinburg, we will definitely be eating here again.”
“A really great place for a home cooked meal, owners and staff are really friendly and on top of all. Food outstanding, chicken, and dumpling special today, like grandma made. Grilled chicken wrap is also great. Biscuits are amazing. I will go back and do breakfast soon.”

Get a different cheese. Dessert was my favorite part! We got the caramel and chocolate mix. The service was 10/10 and we loved how they have private , intimate booths. It made it so romantic. Loved it!”

“This quaint little Celtic pub is located within the Village, a collection of shops and eateries tucked away behind the main strip in Gatlinburg (Parkway).The Village is an amazing area, with maze-like tiny winding walking streets paved with bricks, and surprisingly unique shops around every corner.While the ladies were shopping we popped into this pub for a quit timeck pint of Guinness. It is tiny. There are no more than 8 seats on the bottom floor, incluting 4-6 at the bar.A narrow and steep staircase takes you up to the second floor, also small, with room for about 6 square tables. The beer was fresh and the atmosphere is perfect for a long or three.”
