The food and service here is great. For us though, it is a favorite for lunch or dinner. We tried…read morebreakfast this year and found we like other places better. While the food was good, the selection was just a little more narrow and specific than elsewhere. For instance instead of simple pancakes or French toast it was cinnamon pecan. The banana nut mini muffins were wonderful. Even the kids (who hate nuts in things) devoured them. Also, the tasty multi-berry jam is available in the store next door, and we bought some to take home. Overall, the food was delicious, and service was top notch as usual. But we will stick to lunch and dinner here.

We started out with mozzarella sticks for our appetizers! So good! Some of the best I have ever had! I had a club sandwich with potato salad! So good! I thought they could have used some more meat but it was ok! My fiancée had the meatloaf on top of mashed potatoes and okra on the side! It's in a strip mall but it has a sport bar vibe! TVs and full bar! We'll definitely be back!

Even though this facility is listed as pet friendly, it is not. There is a sign on the door saying…read moreservice dogs only allowed inside and at the bottom stating that they can seat you at the "picnic area" which is a single picnic table that is falling apart in the parking lot. The food looked good but we brought our pets with us down from Gatlinburg to eat here under the impression we could bring our pets in, but the sign turned us around. Food might be good but it isn't pet friendly as listed!

From the moment the apple fritters and apple butter hit the table, we knew we were in for something special, they really set the tone for what turned out to be a great meal. Everything was served family-style, which only added to the comfort and experience. It was our first time, and we were genuinely surprised by how much we enjoyed the food across the board. Hearty, comforting, and exactly what we were hoping for on a holiday The servers were also very attentive and quick to take care of whatever need we had.

Her tone, attitude, and the way she spoke to me made me feel uncomfortable the entire time. It felt like we were a burden just for being there. I ended up completely losing my appetite because of how mean and cold Marsha was, and I actually left the table crying over it. (I work in healthcare so I have thick skin). Going out to eat is supposed to be enjoyable, not something that leaves you feeling embarrassed and humiliated. I understand everyone can have bad days, but there's no reason to treat customers with that level of disrespect. I was asking a simple question of getting an order to go and about the lunch. I really hope management takes customer service more seriously because no one should leave a restaurant crying and feeling the way I did.

Our last day in Pigeon Forge and we decided to get breakfast on our way to the airport. Place was…read morepretty busy but we were sat down pretty fast. Service was good. First Son had the patty melt which was ok, other son had the burger and he liked it. The beef patties seemed to be frozen patties. I had the western omelette with steak fajitas but decided to have it in a burrito which was my mistake since I forgot that the tortilla was probably going to be store bought. The pancakes were ok not fluffy at all. The star of the show was the banana foster which was amazing! The hot chocolate was also really good too! Side note....Not sure where they get their ranch from but my kids eat everything with ranch and it was the best ranch we've ever had!

The wait is worth it if you get there before 8 am. The omelettes had a lot of filling and were very good. The buckwheat pancake while thin had a really nice texture. The pot roast eggs Benedict was good but the biscuit is so thick and soft and the meat is soft that it would be better with an English muffin for a texture factor. Place is cute log cabin vibes and very busy.

The restaurant is a fun place to eat. It is clean and has large portions at a decent price…read more The hostess staff is not the most friendly and openly complained about customers--thinking we didn't speak their language. I understand. People are frustrating--especially on vacation. But, if you are irritated, do not assume that you won't be understood. I speak 3 languages well and understand more. The wait was awful, but to be expected. And our waitress was helpful and friendly--though not super attentive. She was busy, though, not lazy. The food was decent. Not earth shattering. Bottom line...if you want BIG food. And you have 1.5 hours to wait for food...it is a great tourist spot. The biscuits were light and fluffy. The cinnamon roll bread is well done...but the flavor was tame and the glaze was not good. My son loved the Aretha Frankenstein pancakes. However, if you want good food, there has to be a better spot.

I was a solitary diner on my birthday and had a hankering for German food. There aren't many…read moreGerman restaurants in my home state so I was surprised that I could find one in Pigeon Forge. I ordered the traditional schnitzel (pork cutlet that was pounded thin). It was not breaded, but it was coated with egg and flour and prepared well. I had the German potato salad and red cabbage side orders. Both were served warm as is custom. I was a bit upset that the waiter gave me the bill when the meal was finished. I told him it was my birthday and that I had wanted coffee and cake. He took the bill and crumpled it in his hand. The portion of cake that he presented could have easily served three! I left the top frosting. The chocolate cake was moist and the frosting between the layers was German chocolate. Available seating offerings were a booth, table, or a table al fresco. It had the beer garden appeal. I opted to sit inside. The restaurant is also very family oriented (as are most things in Pigeon Forge). Prices were reasonable, food was served at the correct temperature, portions were prodigious. The venue was also immaculate. I would recommend this tavern to anyone who appreciates German fare.

From the moment we sat down, the food just kept coming . fried chicken that was crispy and juicy, fluffy biscuits, creamy mac and cheese, and sides that tasted straight out of someone's grandma's recipe box. Nothing felt rushed, and the staff was genuinely warm and attentive the whole time. And they had fun games to play outside while you wait. We played cornhole and ping pong. It was alot of fun. What really made it special was the atmosphere loud in the best way,we all were going back for seconds. You don't leave hungry, and you definitely don't leave disappointed. If you're in Pigeon Forge and want comfort food done right, this place is a must.

Upon planning our trip, I was discussing local restaurants and places to eat with my coworkers, one…read morecoworker of mine is local to the area and highly suggested this restaurant. The online menu gave plenty of eye candy and we were absolutely starving by the time we arrived Friday evening. The staff was very attentive and kind. It's clear that this place is fully operated by word-of-mouth and return guests. It's a huge establishment with several rooms by big fireplaces and Lazy Susan's to pass around the family style meal. The menu was a little difficult to navigate so many options laid out, but only certain options available per day. So ultimately, we were not able to order exactly what we wanted, but we ordered what was available for Friday, which was the Salisbury steak, fried fish, and fried chicken. All of these meats came in a small portion to split amongst our three people, and with unlimited sides. Some of the sides were pretty impressive. I would have to say my favorite side was the broccoli casserole, followed by the mashed potatoes and gravy, which were real potatoes! The mac & cheese was more on the creamy side versus the gooey cheesy side. Unfortunately, some of our chicken was undercooked, and the skin was very thin and not too crispy. The fish was decent, not dried out whatsoever, which is a pretty good compliment. While my coworker said that the chicken and dumplings were her favorite, I failed to enjoy them :( All in all, this was not our favorite restaurant from our trip this weekend and it appears that big groups and big families really do enjoy dining at this establishment.

Everything is made from scratch and they let us know what could be and couldn't be dairy free. The food taste great too! We tried two burgers and wings, all were delicious and filling. Service and Atmosphere was nice, overall, as well. Our first server was mostly attentive but did seem to forget our waters for awhile. However, that's the only complaint we had. One thing to note is that the parking lot is steep and tight, but we didn't have any issues finding a spot.
