Service was excellent, my order was taken quick and my meal delivered even quicker. The cakes here are sweet, delicious and bigger than your face. I added Strawberries sans whipped cream and a side of bacon for some fatty protein. This is prolly the largest diner I have ever been to. Seating is plentiful, the decor is cute and not too disruptive, and the breakfast bar has a telly. There is even a pink Caddy that serves as a table for that unique dining experience. I didn't have time to stop and shop but The Sunlight does have a gift shop tucked in the corner. I will definitely come back when I next visit. The hospitality of the staff here is off the charts!

Food: Diner food with all day breakfast. Chicken and waffles were good thought the waffles were a bit crisp. The Avocado Benedict was good but the Avacado was a bit too ripe. The Ruben was okay and had a feel of a sandwich I could make at home. The good thing is that it is open late and a good place to come after Dollywood if you didn't stuff yourself there. Service: Great service with constant drink refills coming. Attentive server and efficient service. Ambiance: Super fun diner feel and I am sad we didn't get the convertible car booth.

They literally have every fast food and chain dining experience on one block, but I didn't know that at the time but I'm tired of road trip Food so wanted to sit down for a good meal! Pulling into the parking lot and I was overwhelmed because it was huge and very crowded! We go to the desk and they tell us 25 minutes. This place was huge and very accommodating, they were getting people to their tables fast! We noticed two empty seats at the bar, so we opted to take them and had the pleasure of being served by Robert. He was attentive, made sure our waters were always full. He gave recommendations on his favorite dishes and was all around a great bartender! The guy working the other end of the bar was equally as professional. The ambience is a dark cool vibe, little trendy but people were dressed pretty casually! Answer the most important thing...The food! For an app, we got the beer, cheese fondue that came with apples, bread and pretzels. The beer cheese had a little bit of ooomph to it, which was refreshing because usually I'm not a big mustard person. The pretzel bites were incredible crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The apples were fresh all around the appetizer for 3 to 4 people so we took extra home. I ordered the 10 ounce sirloin cooked, medium with the web sweet potatoes and a side Caesar salad for a three dollar charge which ended up being a full-size salad! It was super fresh and gigantic for a side salad. The steak was cooked perfectly, in the middle with an insane sear. Their house, butter that they put on it truly elevated the flavor profile. I tried the sweet potatoes mashed and they were enjoyable, but I do not enjoy a sweet side with my food so I knew I was going to donate them to my husband and he said they were incredible, the flavor was definitely there just not my cup of tea, but I knew that from the beginning . He got the Caesar salad with grilled chicken! It had so much flavor and tastes incredible but yet melted in your mouth it was the most tender chicken I've ever had in my life, and the flavor was all there! Not even the slightest bit of any kind of dryness. One of the best bites of chicken I've ever had.! He ordered the bison meatloaf to go, and that comes with caramelized mashed potatoes and fried onion straws.... It smells incredible and I will update when we try it . * UPDATE: best meatloaf ever!!! Based on the quality/ experience on a very busy night- everything was phenomenal and I will return. Service 10/5 Food 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Value 5/5

You can't go wrong with the burgers, I'm just telling you they've got something for everyone's taste. Even the sides don't disappoint, and the milkshakes are enough for two people, at least it was enough for the two of us. My engine rings were fantastic, breaded to perfection, and plenty of them came with my meal. Our waitress was tremendous also, quick drink refills, brought our food, hot, and prepared to give helpful and delicious recommendations from the menu. They do sell their merchandise at the checkout, but what do you expect, this is pigeon Forge for goodness sake! Everyone is Hawking their stuff . We are definitely planning on coming back and trying something different. Their menu is diverse and I think that we could come back for years and never have the same thing twice.

Wow!! I wish they did breakfast like this on the West Coast!…read more Five Oaks Farm Kitchen is not only an amazing restaurant, but the food, atmosphere, and staff are incredible. We arrived with a party of 13, which can be a challenge for any restaurant, but they handled our group wonderfully. Our food came out fresh, warm, and extremely tasty. Everything had that homemade, comfort-food quality you hope to find when visiting Tennessee. Our service was provided by Rob, who did a great job taking care of our large group and making sure everyone had what they needed. The decor is an experience all by itself. It's warm and welcoming, yet mesmerizing when you take in the size of the restaurant and all the incredible details throughout. It really adds to the whole Southern farmhouse experience. If you're visiting Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, Five Oaks Farm Kitchen should definitely be on your list. Great food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommended!!

My husband is the breakfast person in our marriage, so this was absolutely his kind of place. We ordered the famous pancakes with their Blue Mélange blueberry butter, along with scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes, and a biscuit. First of all, these pancakes are THICK. Not "slightly fluffy" thick. These things have some HEIGHT to them. But somehow they were still soft and fluffy inside instead of being heavy or dry. The blueberry butter on top was such a good touch too. Sweet, creamy, a little fruity, and completely different from just throwing regular butter and syrup on a pancake. The rest of the breakfast was classic and hearty. The scrambled eggs were good, the bacon was crispy, and the biscuit was huge. This is definitely one of those places where you should come hungry because the portions are not playing with you. I also loved the personality of the restaurant. It doesn't feel polished or cookie-cutter at all. It has this funky, quirky, old-school Chattanooga character that makes eating there feel like part of the trip instead of just another breakfast stop. And coming from someone who is NOT usually running toward pancakes or breakfast food, I still had to keep reaching over to my husband's plate. The pancakes were easily the standout for me. Definitely worth trying at least once while you're in Chattanooga, especially if you're a breakfast person. Come hungry, order the pancakes, and DO NOT skip that blueberry butter.
