Some salads and wraps plus all the drinks and power bowls. They have big plans to use the extra space for a variety of markets and small vendors. I wish them luck.

The experience was genuinely disappointing. The employee at the counter was visibly stressed and…read morecurt from the start. When I asked for an estimated wait time--only so I could step out to my car--she repeated "ASAP" in a defensive tone, offering no real clarity. I tried again, asking whether it might be 10 or 15 minutes, and got the same response. When I returned about 10 minutes later, I waited another 8 minutes before asking a different employee about my order. Only then did I learn the smoothie bowl had been sitting ready the whole time. They saw me waiting and still let it melt. To make matters worse, the bowl was spilling over the entire outside of the container, and the order was wrong: no cocoa nibs and no chocolate protein powder I paid for. The "protein bites" were also just a disgusting, low quality protein BAR that was cut up on top. Yuck. It ended up being a huge, messy disaster in my car. My husband's bowl looked better, but overall the service, communication, and quality were far below expectations.

I've read reviews before I visited The Wild Plum Tea Room. All I have to say is PLEASE go see and…read moreexperience this gem of a place for yourself! Before you go understand this. Reservations ARE a Must!!! No Exceptions!!! Don't try to do a walk in. I've read some speaking on their business model this place has plenty of business I've seen it they are not hurting for patrons to come. We are being gifted with an invitation to experience southern hospitality and face to face socializing like the days of old. When families and businesses cared about more than fast money and saw people as humans and not checks or tourists even. This place makes you remember businesses should have more care of human beings, ethics and integrity and not just a product.There is a reason you need a reservation.This tea room is meant to give personalized attention and service to the patrons not to fill the restaurant's seats. The women who work here love what they do. Also there are only three women I could see there serving /cooking from 3:00 am I'm told throughout the entire service window. My cup was never empty and nothing I asked for was missed. They were accommodating to each request and we made plenty. We were a table of nine, ages 3-72. There is a beautiful artist upstairs sharing stories, paintings and drawings making memories and providing the best hospitality Tennessee has to offer. There is a scavenger hunt in the artist's paintings just ask about it. If you want to take some of the tea home with you they sell it by the gallon and you need to ask for it when you make your reservation through text message NOT while you are there. If you want to taste the tea first go to your reservation and try it. Then request to make another reservation just for the tea to purchase for another day but it is your risk to take. They may or may not allow it because everything they are doing has been made to serve you that day and depending on how busy the restaurant may supplies may not be available to fill the request. This is WHY reservations are so important for your enjoyment and personal catered experience. I was able to see two situations while I went to the restaurant. One group of women didn't have a reservation and therefore they could not be served. The ladies were upset clearly and worked diligently to let other patrons know they were not pleased. They went as far as to ask the waitress about other places they could go to eat while the waitress was in the middle of explaining the menu to our table. There is no food desert in Tennessee you can't walk down a street and not see a food place. Another group came to the restaurant before their reservation. They were acknowledged and asked to please wait under the covered outdoor seating area. They were told at 1:30 ,which was the reservation time according to the patron, they would be called. They were welcomed to The Wild Plum Tea Room. The time was 1:20.The patrons were unhappy about this. I don't know of many restaurants where one has never heard take this buzzer your wait time will be 45 minutes to an hour. With a reservation if you come early they will say we will be right with you or we will call you when your table is ready and even those places don't give you half the attention this place does. You may see tables empty. You may assume they could've just this or that. Give this place a complete chance and learn for yourself the attention to detail these women put into serving the locals, their community and tourists. There is extra parking available to you near the tea room because the onsite parking is smaller.Just follow the sign that says The Wild Plum Tea Room. Enjoy your meal!!!I loved everything,my sister,who is a picky eater ,loved everything other than the peas and bread puddinbecause they were the fresh ones with a bite. That's her preference not a charge against the restaurant. This is not an English tea experience. You are away from the noise and adventure of Pigeon Forge but it's only twenty minutes away from it all also.pass by the Bison and take some time to slow down when you visit The Wild Plum Tea Room.

The pineapple coconut cake is definitely homemade, sweet and fluffy and delicious @ $3.50 a slice. I intend to return during the week, when fewer people are in the area. A Sunday on a 3 day weekend is too busy for me, as the booths are a bit too cozy and close together. Actually for being busy and having all ages eating, it was pleasantly quiet. I definitely recommend eating here in Wears Valley on the way from Pigeon Forge to Townsend via Wear Valley Road.. about 10 minutes from the parkway.. One can continue on to Townsend to either go left to the river road to the Cove or right to the nice town of Maryville .. Returned Thursday for lunch of fried chicken.. not disappointed Returned in Late February about 1:45 pm Tuesday and place was not as busy. I enjoyed the chit-chat with patrons and with 'Grandma'. The food was comfortably homey, but that pineapple-coconut cake was outstanding. I didnt take a picture as I was too anxious to 'dig in' I will return!!

My husband and I split the Country Ham Platter with an extra side of grits. It came with 2 eggs, country ham, grits and biscuit or toast. We got a biscuit. They even cooked one egg over easy and one scrambled at our asking. The eggs, grits, biscuit and coffee were great. DO NOT get the ham!!! It immediately grossed me out at the smell but I thought...maybe it's just me. I eventually cut a piece and put it up to my mouth. As soon as it touched my tongue I put it down and told my husband that something wasn't right about it and I wasn't eating it. My husband can often eat things that I can't but he also said something wasn't right. I scrolled through the Yelps and saw a review about the exact same thing just 28 days earlier. When we paid I told the manager that I thought something was wrong with the ham and she said she sells a lot of it. I told her she should taste it for herself. She told me she doesn't eat meat and I said that someone on her staff needed to taste it because it was definitely rancid and they should not sell it! She didn't seem concerned about the issue at all. We haven't eaten there since.

We had so much excitement and suspense built up to try Old Mill Bakery and the famous cinnamon…read morebread. I honestly do not know what all the hype is about. The bread is a giant loaf which doesn't make any sense to carry around at an amusement park and is pretty dry with just some sticky cinnamon goo on the bottom. I don't know why they don't serve it by the slice or maybe in the form of a roll? We tried some coffee with our cinnamon bread and it really wasn't very good though claiming to serve Starbucks. If your family eats a lot of sugary bready things, you may enjoy it more and it might make more sense to grab a loaf on your way out of the park to take home. Otherwise, I would say skip the bread and go for the rides instead!
