Breakfast is the highlight, with hearty plates of omelets, hashbrowns, and biscuits with gravy that taste just right. On weekends they even put out a breakfast bar, and those little mini biscuits brushed with sweet cinnamon butter are worth the trip alone. The dining room has its own personality too, complete with a truck parked inside that somehow feels fun rather than gimmicky. Service is warm and easygoing, adding to the laid-back atmosphere. When I visited, I grabbed a chai latte from the coffee shop next door since they don't serve specialty drinks here, and nobody batted an eye. That kind of neighborly vibe sums up the place perfectly. It is casual, filling, and just a little quirky in the best way. If you are nearby and craving a solid breakfast before or after a country drive, it is absolutely worth stopping in.

There was no sausage in the sausage biscuits and gravy. I mean no sausage there were a little specs in the gravy. The ham steak was good but it was extremely salty. The biscuits were amazing. The ambience is very cute. It's stereotypical hillbilly mountain decor lol it's nice to go to while you're there it fits the environment of hillbilly chic. The weight staff was great. The young African-American lady in the front. I don't know her name who is the hostess was absolutely delightful. The breakfast buffet was not the best either. They had French toast sticks that you buy at the grocery store as the French toast on the buffet. If they put a little bit more attention into the food, this place would be great.

With every entree you get a salad, corn chowder, corn fritters, mashed potatoes, green beans, and a dessert. Not to mention the entrees are huge.

There was a wait when we got there, but it was fine and we went to the old mill store and I bought some flour to make corn bread and white bread.

The wait time wasn't super crazy considering how many people were waiting. The corn chowder that comes with your meal was pretty solid, as was the bread that is similar to hush puppies, except sweeter given the pancake batter it is made with. The salad was mid, nothing great, as was the Sprite. As a soda connoisseur, it was missing something and didn't hit as hard as a McDonald's Sprite with the carbonation and syrup ratio. As for the main courses and sides, the fried chicken wasn't seasoned well at all. Neither were the mashed potatoes. Would definitely get a baked potato next time. The coleslaw was great, as were the creamed corn and ribs. Would definitely order those again. The dessert that comes with the meals made this southern comfort meal worth it and left us fuller than we have been in quite some time. The blackberry cobbler came with a load of ice cream, which most places cheap you out on with the ratio. The service from our server was top tier. He stayed busy throughout the meal with multiple tables, yet remained attentive to us, constantly refilling my sweet tea and ensuring we had everything we needed. Great experience overall and a great operation, especially as we enjoyed the view overlooking the water.

For the 4 side dishes, we ordered the chicken and dumplings, mac & cheese, hush puppies and mashed potatoes. The sides were actually better than the mains. The ambulance is very casual and it's a family friendly atmosphere. Restaurant is clean and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. Our waiter, Kyle, was very patient and an excellent server. Overall, I wasn't too impressed with the main courses but the sides made up for them somewhat. I would say the food was 2 - 2.5 stars but the staff was 5 stars.

Service was friendly, but the server only came by to take order and see if we wanted anything else before the check.

I wasn't going to comment my experience on here but since I've seen all the reviews & the lack of professionalism from the staff, or should I say owner... I will not reserve my comments. For my family and myself, this was also a terrible experience. Looks like we were there around the same time frame (Christmas) as the rest of the recent reviews. They told us they had nothing on the menu and to reconsider eating there if that was an issue. I guess race is an issue for this family owned cafe. They clearly saw we were Latin and automatically gave us a face upon entering the location - we were being frowned upon, I still don't know why. I am Christian. They claim to be a Christian home they're far from a Christian home, they need lots of bible study & to recenter with the lord. To be Christian you must show love, compassion and equality towards all race, religion and humankind. If I could give this Resturant a -star I would. It's a shame because had it been the first Resturant we visited it would have set the tone, but thankfully every Resturant we visited before hand was extremely welcoming. I don't recommend this resturant & rest assured I will make sure no one I know visits it. I really hope you find it within to be a little more empathetic towards humanity. Do not push patrons out by saying you're out of everything just so they leave. Luckily we decided to record the waitress and how rude she was. I really should have forwarded it to all the news stations but your negative energy was not going to over power the joy in mine and my families heart. God Bless! read more

I am sending my review because of a very unfair review by Jackie from Florida. I have been eating here since the cafe opened. I have had a vacation home here for many years and have moved down full time in retirement. My first visit was because of reviews on this site. Besides the great reviews about the food, the specifically mentioned the owner, Elvira. We when we arrived we kept trying to find this person. Like every visit since, food was great and staff amazing. I know several by name. But we were unsure who the owner was. This was near the end of their season and the menu had several items they were trying. When we were finishing a lady came over and apologized for disturbing us, but said she was Elvira the owner. She said she had been wanting to talk to us all night but we were in such a concentrated conversation she did not want to disturb. (Does this sound rude?). We told,here we had travelled all over the world, eating food from many continents and her food was the freshest and had he most unique flavors we had experienced. This started a true friendship. Elvira will sit down with anyone and talk with them. Look on Facebook and see the support this woman and her staff have. You will not go wrong eating here! read more

Elvira's Cafe is a local gem! Great owner, great employees & GREAT food! This is a locally owned, family restaurant with Christian values. That said, I must comment on a person who wrote a review earlier this month. Elvira would NEVER say it, but I tend to speak my mind when someone slams a friend. This person came into the restaurant a few weeks ago with a group of people who were obviously wanting to celebrate "something". As I said, this is a family restaurant, that does NOT serve alcohol at all & does not allow it bout in. This group came in with liquor even after being asked not to & proceeded to act like the rules didn't pertain to them. When they were asked to leave, they pulled the race card. All I will say is this. If you want good food, served by good people & support the locals, then Elvira's is the place. If you want to party & act a fool, go somewhere else, that allows that type of behavior. Your kind,(rude) in MY opinion, are not welcome here in our peaceful little valley! read more

We found this incredible place in Wears Valley TN, not too far from Dollywood called Elvira's cafe. It was one of the most enjoyable places I've been to in a long time. My husband always teases me that I hate everything, and we used to live in Northern Virginia so we ate out often. But this place really is that hidden spot you're always on the lookout for. I ordered a ruben and it was outstanding. Usually they're very greasy, but it wasn't at all and my husband had a chicken salad that was especially fresh and made like grandma used to. I had pickled beets and the hubby had sweet potato fries. The fries were crispy and the beets weren't overpowered by the seasoning. Our waiter Alex was very welcoming and knowledgeable. Recommendations are always appreciated and his were on the mark. I HIGHLY recommend this place. read more

The rudest cafe I have been to in my life. I have never experienced a place so racist against people from Miami. One of my family members had innocently asked the waiter "Have you ever been to Miami?" And his disgusting response was "Does it look like I'm stupid to you?" And we stayed in shock. Never have we ever heard that come out from anyone's mouth. Miami is a fun place and very welcoming to anyone who comes to visit we never treat anyone any different. The worse experience ever I will make sure to always tell anyone from Miami who plans on visiting Tennessee to never ever step a foot in this cafe. They claim to be a Christian cafe and I am Christian myself and you shouldn't treat anyone with the disgusting disrespect that we were treated with. So sad on their part. read more

My Home Away from Home! We own a cabin in the Wears Valley area and visit about 5 times per year. One of the things I most look forward to, is eating breakfast at Elvira's everyday!

She always give me great advice about the hiking trails. Her entire staff is sweet and attentive. I've never had a meal there that didn't wow me. And by the way, I am from Miami myself.

The review from Jackie Q. sounds like its a revenge post. We have always been treated so very well by all the wait staff and Elvira. She greets all her customers with a warm hello and a hug and the people who work there are always polite and treat you like family. The food is farm fresh and made to order. Some of the best food you will ever eat. So please disregard the one negative post you see, because it's so not true and to accuse the owner of not being a Christian is a joke. You will find a retired Pastor working there and the folks from all the local churches stop for breakfast after service on Sundays. Shame on the lady that posted that review. read more

But everything was delicious, service was fast but not making you feel rushed and our server Edgar was 10/10. Would definitely come here again, it lived up to the hype.

We were seated immediately and our sweet waitress was quick to get our drink orders! Let me tell you everyone, this is hands down one of the best breakfasts I've ever had in Pigeon Forge! My fiancée had the steak and eggs with grits! He absolutely loved it and I tasted the grits! Some of the best I personally have ever had! I had the Forge breakfast (I think) it was 2 eggs cooked my way (over medium, perfectly cooked!) chose of meat I got bacon! Breakfast potatoes and a biscuit and gravy! I also added white toast with no butter for that delicious yolk!!! Everything was delicious! Our waitress was so attentive and friendly! The space is huge and very welcoming for a good home cooked breakfast at home feel! The place still smells like it's brand new!!! We're going to make this a tradition from now on!!!

My family and I will never cross the threshold of this establishment again simply because Sawyers…read morerules are in fact NOT family friendly. I have an 18 month old son that fell asleep in the car ride on the way to Sawyer's. The rest of my family, 5 adults and 1 four year old went ahead inside. Our waitress informed us that sawyers has a "rule" that once we have ordered, my husband would not be able to even come to the table. Whatever I ordered for him would be packed in a to-go box but he couldn't eat it in the restaurant nor at the table. He'd have ti eat it outside. They were NOT busy. Maybe 10 families at best in the restaurant. I called my husband to tell him this ridiculous rule and he said no, I'll stay in the car and he won't eat breakfast and I insisted that wake our son up and he come inside. It wouldn't be fair to him. Meanwhile, the waitress asked her manager if they could make an exception but my husband was already walking in with my 18 month old. I told her if my son starts screaming because he's tired, not one employee by Sawyers better say anything about it. She said that wouldn't be a problem. I even told her that I know it's not her rule or her fault, but this is ridiculous for families to be subjected to this type of rule. The kids menu does not offer any type of waffle and my 4 year old had her heart set on a waffle. I told her they had m&m pancakes ($6.99) and she was sold on m&m's but not the pancakes. The waitress asked my daughter if she wanted a m&m waffle instead and she could get them to put the m&m's on top but they wouldn't be cooked inside the waffle. My 4 year old was so happy, she even gave the waitress a hug. Waitress was great. Fast forward to the bill, the waffle that the waitress offered my daughter... was $9.99+.99¢ for the m&m's. I didn't say a word about it, I was so aggravated at this point with Sawyer's, it wouldn't have done any good. And once again, the waitress is following the rules. Everyone at the table all said it was a mediocre breakfast at best and we all should have went to Mama's Farmhouse for breakfast instead. Sawyers, DO BETTER. You are an eating establishment in a family friendly tourist town. BE FAMILY FRIENDLY. The rule about not being able to allow my husband join us when my cranky baby is catching a quick nap? That's the dumbest thing I have ever heard and quite offensive considering we are paying customers regardless. Now, when people ask me where to go and where to avoid in Pigeon Forge, Sawyer's will be at the top of the list to avoid.
