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

“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!”

“hands down the absolutely best service and food. our waitress was absolutely amazing and so kind and sweet. because of the amazing care she took with our table we will definitely be coming back the seafood was better then the seafood we get near our home at the beach.. thank you for making my brother's birthday amazing 😍”

“Went in a family vacation, party of 10. We had Aaron as a waiter and he was amazing! Our drinks were always full, he was very friendly! The food was great but Having Aaron was what made our experience at Crawdaddys amazing! Thank you Aaron!”

“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.”

“If I could give it a 10 they would get it. Rosemary was our waitress & she was wonderful. The food is amazing. Thumbs up to the chef.”

“Great pad Thai! And soup was so good.. little spicy! The chocolate cake was so god for my birthday”

“Love the atmosphere, great service. Wasn’t expecting the Tex Mex style of food. I prefer more traditional, ordered tacos and a margarita. Food and Marg has a different flavor, the street tacos were not anything like I have had before. Didn’t sit right with me, I didn’t eat any of it. But the rest of my party was happy with what they ordered.”

“Good food and service ..unique experience recommended for sure .”

“This is a must eat ..It was great the food the service.. A+”

“Loved these ciders. They aren’t like the typical ciders I’ve had that are super sugary and give you that bubble gut. They tasted very fresh. We got 6 bottles.”

“We would definitely recommend Big Daddy's. it was great. had pep pizza, salad, chicken wings. Our server was Scottie, he was great. Will be going back next time we're in Gatlinburg.”

“The place is great, spacious, clean and all the food is delicious, the staff is super nice and friendly. We got Zeynep as our server, she’s so nice and sweet! Her service was amazing, thank you much girl!”

“We had an amazing evening at Redoak Bistro. It was cozy and romantic offering a dining experience that was the perfect balance of elegance and comfort. The bistro is run by a delightful husband and wife duo whose hospitality is exceptional, and you can tell they pour their hearts into every aspect of the restaurant, making it a truly special place. The small plates menu was a standout—each dish was a beautiful homage to European flavors with great attention given to presentation and service. We had the smoked salmon bruschetta, the duck foie gras, the smoked oyster flatbread and enjoyed a bottle of Malbec, then ended with a delicious chocolate torte. Absolutely Amazing!! Can’t wait to go back!”

“Our lunch hit the spot for us! Friendly owner also”

“I’ve visited the Smoky Mountains so many times in my life. This was the first time visiting the Trout House. I will be back, though. Service was great and friendly. They have their own parking across the street. Plus, the food was so good. I got the grilled trout which was a lemon pepper flavor with baked potato and okra. Everything was delicious. The hush puppies and chili sauce for the table was great too. Highly recommend if you enjoy fish.”

“Hubby and I ordered (to go) the Reuben with potato salad and I had the BBQ with potato salad. When we got home and opened our box to a huge, I mean huge Reuben, filled with mouth-watering corned beef, plenty of sauerkraut, and dressing. On marble rye bread. My BBQ was filled with tender and tasty meat with just enough sauce so it didn’t overwhelm the delicious meat. Love the potato salad-made with sour cream, I bet. Yummy. Because we forgot to ask for the “locals discount” prior to paying, we were presented with a piece of peanut butter pie/ to die for😃 Definitely not to be missed!”

“Great food friendly staff great service!!”

“Excellent! Service, meal, cocktails, atmosphere was perfect. The strawberry shortcake is so good.”

“Food was wonderful and love the setting by the creek!”

“Adam was great! Best first time there!”

“The food was outstanding. I never thought I would be writing about Brussel Sprouts. Wow. They are insanely good. The horse radish Parmesan filet was so good. Joshlyn service was great too. Amazing experience.”

“Nice views, gorgeous landscape. The extra add ons are pricey. Make it one price for everything.”

“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.”

“Food is delicious! 💯% My husband and I have dined at this restaurant often while enjoying westgate resort. We did not feel we needed to leave the resort and go into town! Staff was wonderful as well.”

“Indoor dining is fantastic food & service!”

“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,”

“First bar we stop when we bar hopped. Got here around 9PM Friday night. People were line dancing, singing, and celebrating their bachelorette party. Drinks were expensive but we only got 2 drinks here and moved on to the next bar. Great Vibes!”

“Fair prices good good!!!!”

“Delicious food! Tried the fish n chips, beer cheese burger, and bangers n mash. All amazing! Hidden jewel”

“Second time there. Food is outstanding. People are great. Try the fried chicken sandwich with pimento cheese. Of course the beer wall is awesome.”

“We stopped in for the Reuben Sandwich that we’ve heard so much about … and it didn’t disappoint!! My husband just wanted a good quality hotdog and Jed’s serves Nathan’s, so he was very satisfied. Josh, Luke and Genevieve were the best hosts ever. So warm and friendly. They made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our lunch outside on their lovely patio. Genevieve checked on us multiple times and offered water for our pup Sissy! Seriously, make Jed’s a stopping point on your visit to Gatlinburg!!”

“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!”

“Delicious food and in the winter a warm fire right in the middle of the restaurant. The staff were friendly, and the food was great. We got a shrimp po’boy, seafood gumbo, hamburger, and jambalaya. All of it was so delicious! It wasn’t crowded at all. It is a small restaurant, but that’s ok because it’s cozy!”

“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!”

“I accidentally found this amazing place when looking for a coffee spot. The Painted Bear latte ŵas awesome and the owners are so kind! Will definitely be taking a longer visit and checking out their neighbors, too!”

“DEVIN GOT ME DRUUUUNKKKK! Thank you for your hospitality!”

“The best coffee and friendliest service in Gatlinburg. The Harvest muffins are outstanding!”

“Usually eat at Pancake Pantry and decided to try this. This blew Pancake Pantry out of the water! Best breakfast I have had. The pancakes are ridiculous. The waffle was on point and the savory food was amazing as well. We will be eating here moving forward.

Kid-friendliness: We have a toddler and she loved every bite!”

“We had a great dinner, very friendly staff, and great food!”

“Great donuts, coffee and service! 🍩 Will definitely be back the next time we’re in Gatlinburg.”

“This is a must for breakfast or lunch. locally owned and amazing mountain country atmosphere. Best meal we had during our week long stay. The cornbread is out of this world! We could have spent the day drinking on the outside deck, relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.”

“Love this ice cream!! Can’t go wrong with any flavor”

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

“Underdog pizza was fantastic! We needed something quick to eat after a long day in Gatlinburg and they had just the thing! We will definitely be getting their pizza in the future.”

“Everyone in our party of 6 was amazed at how great their food was. Even our 2 kids who are some picky eaters. They actually finished their meals!!! The French Toast was absolutely delicious. I tried some of my kiddo’s bacon and it was really great too and I’m not typically a bacon eater. This is an absolute must-eat when we visit now.”

“I was craving a strawberry and nutella crepe and found this place by accident! so delicious and I want more!!”

“Fudge is good. Make sure you ask for a sample before you pick your flavor. Ice cream is good. Almost $8 for a single scoop in a cup is kinda wild but hey that’s par for the course in a tourist spot like Gatlinburg”

“Conveniently located pizzeria with great tasting food and friendly service.

The pizza is exactly what you want after a long hike at the Smokey Mountains or shopping in downtown. The Caeser salad and chicken Alfredo was also great food options we ordered along with the pizza. Sodas were a bit pricey but the local beer was a great bargain for a restaurant at $4 a bottle.

The dining area is quaint and the fireplace adds to the relaxing environment. There is also outdoor seating if it suits. No outside heaters were seen.

Our server Angela was a gem. Friendly smile and always attentive to any requests we had.

Parking: Parking is super difficult to find. If you are staying in the area it is worth a walk if nearby.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly menu if not ordering pizza.”

“This place was absolutely amazing!!! Best pizza we have ever had! service was excellent as well! the mozzarella sticks were great as well! We will absolutely be back soon!”

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

“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...”

“The food was great and servings were huge, our go to Mexican place when we visit Gatlinburg from now on!”

“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.”

“Great drinks, great food, great folks!”

“What a great place to dine. We stop here every time we are in Tennessee. Great service and good selection of food on the menu. Everything we have tried has been excellent. Too full to eat dessert and the dessert case will make you want to take something to go. Can't wait to come back.”

“So this little place is literally a walk up window while traversing the sidewalk in gatlinburg. We had a little bit of a wait in line and then about a 10 minute wait for our drinks to be made as a few people were in front of us. There was a bench to sit on right across from this place, so we waited there. We both got large drinks and they were definitely a large!!! Well worth the money! We paid extra to do oatmilk in my iced chai latte and my bf’s toffee frappe, so our total was about $21. Our drinks were both absolutely delicious!! Definitely recommending trying this place out! Only bummer is a lot of the stores don’t allow drinks inside…. So if you get a large, you’ll be working on it for awhile and that limits what places you can walk into….

Parking: There are some paid parking lots but they are pricey and often full. Our hotel is about 1/2 mile from this place, so we just walked everywhere while we stayed in gatlinburg.”

“We found this gem of a place during our travels in Gatlinburg,Tennessee. Delicious malts, ice-cream sodas, sundaes, and a whole lot more. Friendly service and nostalgic atmosphere. Something for everyone! Highly recommend! 😊”

“Waited an waited to be seated party of 6 adults an two 4 year olds They said it would be awhile an they kept seating other people they had many empty tables They ignored us for 30 minutes or more an said when more people leave we can push tables together We left don’t waste ur time service is non existent”

“loved the food the chefs were wonderful they were like the dynamic duo they brought out the food made wonderful dishes from scratch and we were very happy with there service they make this place a wonderful experience yummy”

“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.”

“it was a first time for us and i was absolutely amazed at all of the different items available and the amount of knowledge about the products. the guy in the store was very nice and extremely patient with all of my questions considering i’m a lover of coffee and the whole tea thing is new for me! i am going to experiment with the many different recipes they have available and some of the spices and really neat sugars that are in the store. my husband is excited to try out the bourbon honey!! if i was to recommend one thing it would be daily tea samples for us Java Junkies to explore!! overall i was very pleased with the staff, service and i’m excited to try some tea!!! keep up the great work and we will be back to see you in Gatlinburg!!! we even found a local pottery store called the potter and the park that sells “tea jars”.”

“Got a couple of corn dogs and lemonade definitely recommend!! 😋”

“Lord what is in these cookies. Wear stretch pants and bring all the money you can find. 3 cavities and 2 pant sizes later we finally had to leave. Simply amazing cookies.”

“Food was very good. Best Bacon cheeseburger I have had in years. Waitress was attentive and pleasant. We were very pleased and definitely recommend Morning Mist Cafe!!”

“Ate here several times during our Margaritaville stay. We especially enjoyed the Chicken Tacos which were flavorful and served with tortilla chips and salsa.
All of the drinks we had were great, and the service was fast and friendly.”

“Wow! Shocked is an understatement. Victor, our server was wonderful. He was attentive and checked on us appropriately without being overbearing. The food. Again, wow. I did not expect such good quality food at a hotel restaurant! My husband and I split an order of fries to start, which were hot, fresh, and super crispy. For dinner we shared the Cajun pork chop. It was thick cut, paired with the mash potatoes which were amazing in their own right, and the broccoli was perfectly cooked. Would come again.”

“The new ownership is amazing. The only nutrition shop I will use when I’m in town!”

“The dough they use is amazing❣️”

“I love this place. 💜 🌭 !!”

“We stop here whenever we are in Gatlinburg and really enjoy chatting with the staff and the soft serve ice cream. Highly recommended. Thank you.”

“We were in the mall and could smell the pizza from one of the higher levels. I ordered a small, 10-inch cheese pizza to share with my partner. In all honesty, we should have gotten some slices, because it would have been around the same price, and I think the slices would have technically been bigger. We placed our order and I paid with a card, which incurred a 4% credit card surcharge. We waited about ten minutes for our pizza. When it came out, it was piping hot and tasted really good! I almost wish I had gotten a larger size. The flavor was great and the crust was perfectly crispy and thin. The only potential "red flag" I noticed was that when we visited, two children were working. The person who took our order was a child, then I noticed another one in the kitchen. I understand this is a family business, and the children were super respectful, but it was something unique about this pizza place that I had not noticed in other places I have been to. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience here and would recommend stopping in.”

“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”

“This place is awesome. Drinks are fantastic. Staff is great.”

“Wonderful food very nice and professional staff!!! Pizza was amazing and the toppings bowl was outstanding!!!! Highly recommend this poppa johns!! The staff even remembered us from last year !!!”

“Love this place! Don’t get me wrong, love the views and the place as a whole. But the price of the food here is insane haha. I got a slice of pizza, 2 hotdogs, 2 nachos , 1 fountain drink and a beer. My total was $48. Seemed very steep for the same thing you’d get at a gas station. I’d come here again, but definitely not buying any of the food from here”

“My water Jeff was fabulous. Nice guy. Nice people.”

“Great atmosphere, played some darts while we waited for food to come. Didn’t take long, and all 4 of us enjoyed what we got!”

“Came here on September 16…..had a great time and delicious food! Thanks to Robert & David for their fantastic service!!”

“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.”

“Finally found good pizza in the area! This is now my favorite pizza place. Huge portions and delicious food!”

“We were on vacation and after a few days of going out our babies were so worn out , we decided to just order in a night and we're not disappointed! The wait for delivery was long but they were upfront with their delivery estimates which was on par! We were pleasantly surprised with how everything turned out after reading the reviews. Overall we had no complaints and were able to relax and eat good food.”

“Great place to visit if you have a sweet tooth great workers and great service if got a sweet tooth and want really good ice cream or something deep fried definitely check out mayfeild”

“Loved the food, especially, the Biscuits and Gravy which was the best I've ever had!
Becca our waitress was amazing as was the guy who was taking names for tables.”

“Good food, pricey. Great views and a good place to rest after playing a while.
Was looking forward to try more foods but the lady at the chondola refused to let us on with the cinnamon roll we were saving for a late night snack. She's told us we either had to eat it or throw it away, so if course, we ate it.”

“Beautiful Hotel! The bar on site was a rip off. I truly believe they did not put alcohol in the mixed drinks,however they charged a lot for the drinks. Pool was great staff was friendly and incredible. Would recommend staying here just don't get drinks from bar.

Food and drinks: Like I said the bar on site was a rip off. They did not put any alcohol in mixed drink and the femal bartender was rude.”

“Stayed at the hotel close by so we thought we would try Genoa’s no regrets. We got the Philly steak pizza amazing. and the garlic knots love them. They were perfect.(picture of the pizza was the next day love good cold pizza.)”

“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!”

“The mahi fish sandwich$16.99 is so delicious I have it at least once a week”’ great portions”

“We stopped in while on vacation spur of the moment. We were well taken care of, everyone was very nice!”

“Our server was absolutely amazing, he made our entire experience wonderful. His name escapes me and I’m so angry about that! But he was the sweetest person. He had a beard and a slight accent but he always used “ma’am” and “sir” and said thank you and you’re welcome … such a sweetie. Our food was fabulous and it came out so fast. Impressive service for a super busy restaurant in a touristy area. I hope everyone can get this sweetheart of a waiter!”
