    a reflection in the window
    Dave B.

    Clearly a local favorite, the Dunlap Restaurant is the place to go when in Dunlap, TN. The portions are large. The options are many. The prices are fair. It can be a bit slow when the place is full, so don't be in a hurry. Excellent service. All that being said, it's not necessarily the prettiest or most memorable visual experience.

    Hashbrowns, eggs, gravy, grits

    We came here after staying at Falls Creek Falls. It was a very nice diner. The people were super nice. The servers were excellent. The food was great. I definitely think it was a great choice to have breakfast at. I had grits (i've been obsessed with grits since my cousin vinny). I ordered the hasbrowns crispy, i didn't expect them to be soo crispy though. Other than that I thought it was a pretty great experience. Would recommend.

    Food 2.5 service 4 Convenient next to our motel and because we were so tired from our hikes we did not search for any other place. Simple cooking, very busy, just not my taste. I could not eat the Pork chops or the green beans. My husband said his pork tenderloin was okay and he ate all of his food. I ate biscuits. Breakfast was again simple eggs, sausage, and biscuits and that was good for us. Did not have juice or other items .... Maybe affected by the economic crisis ??

    Chicken tenders, macaroni and cornbread salad

    Typically small town local restaurant that you'd see in movies where everyone knows everyone. If you're not from the area, we were just passing through, you may get a few stares but everyone was extremely nice. Service was quick and efficient. Prices were slightly higher than I'd imagine for a small town country place, but portions were good. Meat and 3 are their big pull, with daily and weekly specials. Chicken tenders were great, macaroni typical, but the cornbread salad was meh. Tasted like potato salad with cornbread mixed, so if we ever returned I wouldn't get it again. Definitely a decent place for a good meal not far off the interstate.

    Two Eggs, Grits, Hashbrowns & Gravy

    During our airbnb stay in Dunlap, my friend and I searched for breakfast options before heading to Falls Creek Falls. We came upon this restaurant, which seemed quite popular so we decided to give it a try. I personally ordered 2 eggs, grits, hashbrowns & gravy with a coffee to drink. My personal opinion/experience: - Pricing: 5/5 One thing I can't disagree is that the pricing is very fair. For my breakfast plate itself, it was $4.79. Coffee (w. free refills) was $1.75. I was satisfied that I can get my breakfast fill for a very decent price. - Service 4/5 We got seated right away and as soon as we were ready to order, they were ready. They came to us a fair amount of times to check up on us despite the influx of customers coming in. - Food 3/5 I found my breakfast plate to be a bit bland for my taste. I did add ketchup & hot sauce, but I still wasn't really satisfied to my expectations. Hashbrowns were a bit soggy than crunchy. Grits were plain (ideally I wish they'd have an option to make it cheese grits instead). Gravy also could have been more flavorful as well... - Drinks 1.5/5 As with the coffee, I was very disappointed. I really wanted the caffeine, but I couldn't get myself to even finish the small cup - never-mind another refill that they kept offering. To me, the coffee itself had a bit of a strange after-taste. I can't really describe it or know what it was... I also tried my friend's lemonade to find that it wasn't what I was expecting at all... I didn't really taste the lemon juice. I tasted more of the lemon rind in water than anything. Overall, the food/drink didn't satisfy for me or my friend. But if you are looking for a quick/cheap breakfast fix around Dunlap, maybe this will do it for you.

    Not to be mean it had a nice quaint family vibe, but the 40 minute wait for unenjoyable food was just disappointing.

    Screen Door Kitchen - Fried Chicken Sandwich

    This place is an absolute treat. Set in a former turn of the century Catholic boarding school, we…read morewere surrounded by amateur art on the walls which most were for sale. We were there for lunch but I think it would lend itself to quite the romantic setting at night. My partner and I both sampled hamburgers which were excellent. I didn't read the description well and ordered the "screen door" so I was totally unprepared for the monstrosity set down in front of me. Held together by a steak knife, only the handle was visible. The 6 oz patty had a massive amount of onion rings on top with arugula, shaved lettuce, red onion and tomato rounding out the display. It was all served on a fresh and delicious brioche bun. My only failing was I missed that it was served with stone ground mustard. I don't care for it and should have requested another condiment but I ate it and didn't regret it. My partner's smash burger was very tasty and served with similar accompaniments minus the onions rings. Therefore, his burger was only about 4" tall instead of the 8" monster I tackled and I really regret we didn't get pictures! We both chose not to order fries but sampled some of the other sides offered. I chose coleslaw and I have to say I didn't eat much of it. There were some spices in it that just didn't set right with me although I know a lot of folks would be very pleased with it. The other side on the table was their take on Mac and cheese. I would order this all day, any day and twice on Sunday! It was made with large elbows which tasted as if they were boiled in chicken broth then shredded chicken was added to the mix. We also ordered a piece of pie each although after that meal, most of those went into a to-go box. The peanut butter pie had a graham cracker crust with a layer of melted chocolate then a peanut butter mixture piled about 4-5 inches high on top of that. It was very peanutty and huge so I probably should have just ordered that as my lunch. I would like to see a layer of chocolate to downplay the overwhelming peanut butter but then again, I'm a sucker for chocolate and peanut butter together. The other pie was a chocolate pecan which was okay but that's one pie that should be served warm to bring all the flavors forward. Otherwise, it was just another pecan pie variation that one can get at several restaurants. Our waiter was very personable and extremely knowledgeable about the site and the food served and gave some excellent recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed our conversations with him. Would I go back? You betcha! There's a lot of menu yet to discover and I have friends in Bledsoe county that I will ensure know about this place.

    Our group was on a road trip from West Palm Beach, FL to a camp called JH Outback in McMinville,…read moreTN. After the majority of our ride was done we decided to start looking for a place to stop, and were blessed enough to come across this little place called King Donuts. Food wise - amazing. I had a bacon, egg and cheese croissant that was so good and fresh it was to die for. We also got a donut with fruity pebbles on top. Literally THE BEST donut I have ever had. Wow. So moist and sweet and flavorful and delicious. Next trip to TN I will drive all the way to Dunlap just for these amazing donuts, no lie. Afterwards we talked to one of the owners and she told me how important it was to them to focus on quality ingredients which I thought was really cool and very evident in the quality of all we got. We learned the couple that owns the shop gets up in the early AM to make all those donuts themselves! You can taste the quality and decidication. What was really cool was the people! We had nice long conversations with the owners who made us Florida people feel so welcome and even helped us get to know the area a little better. Even the local customers in there had such friendly faces and talked with us, it was truly a great way to get a taste of the area. They directed us on our trip, told us about their life and all the fun places to go in TN! God bless you and your business all in the name of Jesus Christ! Praying for his grace and peace to fall over this amazing establishment and those in it. Swing by King Donuts on your next road trip, you won't regret it.

    We became Soddy-Daisyians just this past Spring, but we discovered Wimpies, well over a year ago…read morewhen we started our journey to move out this way. I am a breakfast guy and Wimpies is exactly what you'd expect from a local "greasy spoon" establishment: good food, good service from super friendly (sometimes playfully snarky) waitstaff, comfortable and clean dining area. It is my go-to for a local breakfast meet or even if I just want to get out of the house! They know how to cook eggs to order as well as your meat (I like my bacon done!), and their biscuits are awesome (most of the time). Now, for the reason I dropped one star... We've patronized them for dinner a handful of times and their dinner fare is good. They always have a homespun set of daily specials along with their standard dishes that include sandwiches (burgers, chicken), meat and threes, fish and the food has generally been very good. The problem I have with the dinner shift is the inconsistency in service! We've been for dinner and received the same good service we get in the morning, but more often than not the waitstaff is not up to par. In fact, I wouldn't say they were up to triple bogey! Our last time there we waited more than 15min before anyone visited us. The young gal didn't get either of our orders 100% correct. We couldn't bring it up because she disappeared for 10+min at a time so we just ate what we got! When we did get her her ability to retain the request from our table to the back-of-house (maybe 12-15') and back was abysmal! Once she even stopped to talk to a colleague and that was that. We never got that request fulfilled. We haven't been back for dinner since. Not sure I could get my wife to go. Anyway, the bottom line is, breakfast...most definitely, dinner...you might be rolling the dice. If you care less about service and just want some tasty dinner food, then you are probably okay. ;-)

    Really enjoyed this breakfast spot. Tons of choices for breakfast. The staff is very attentive…read more Daily specials and hot coffee, what else do you need! Great location with adequate seating and private parking.
