I went here on a windy Saturday evening. I ordered a Reuben with mashed potatoes and a side of fried apples. It's a cute country restaurant. I was seated near the door in the back room which kept blowing open due to the wind outside. It was a bit chilly because of this. Luckily, the food was piping hot. I thought the sandwich was average and a bit expensive for the amount of meat. The mashed potatoes were ok, nothing memorable. I always like fried apples. I thought service could have been friendlier. My server sat down at the table next to me with what I appeared to be a regular customer. Meanwhile, I was waiting to ask for a to-go box and my check. I wasn't asked if I'd like any dessert though I heard other tables being asked. Overall, the food was ok, ambiance was very good, and service was a bit below average. It might not be my first choice for where to eat but it had a lot of choices on the menu so I'd consider going back to try something else and to support a local business. read more

Great Spot for a good meat and three in Townsend. Service was great and the food was fresh and home made. You can tell the food wasn't processed. Highly recommend for a quick stop after a good hike in the Smokey Mountains read more

What a great experience ... twice! We were only in town for a week, but we had to go back for a second meal! We were very comfortable on the patio with our puppy. The food was incredible! The service was fast and friendly. The best chicken salad I've ever eaten! My husband had the chicken Gouda bacon sandwich and then the adult grilled cheese and loved them both. A definite spot to hit when you are in town! read more

We visited Elvira's Cafe as a suggestion from our server at the Sunliner Diner earlier in the week. This is a bit outside of Pigeon Forge and it is really really good. We ordered a stuffed crepe with eggs, mushrooms, onions bell pepper and cheese, we ordered Chicken and Waffles with a spiced honey on the side and chocolate chip pancakes. The chicken and waffles with spiced honey was really good and I would order this again. The chocolate chip pancakes were good. The crepe had a strange color but it tasted fine and the filling was great. This restaurant appears to be inside of an old house and they have framed photographs by professional photographers on the walls for sale. We will also visit this restaurant again next time we are in the area. read more

Wow!!! This place is amazing. The chicken and waffles are amazing. The waitresses are super friendly, even if the kids are a handful. The decor is spot on and very warm and welcoming. It was so good we stopped on the way out with our camper on the way out. If they're not too busy there is plenty of room. read more

Elvira's Cafe - Chicken and waffles with strawberries. - American Near Me - Sevierville, Tennessee

Our last morning in the Sevierville TN area and we needed breakfast before the long drive home. It is on a hill and there are steps to get into the restaurant. We had a moment of almost changing our mind about going due to the full parking lot on a Thursday morning. Once inside, it was clear that it was a favorite of locals. We were quickly seated. My husband had the mountain man omelette, which basically means all the meats were included. I had 2 eggs over medium, 1/2 order of biscuit and gray,and a small order of bacon. We both had coffee. Coffee was good,solid - strong, fresh, with half and half and sugar. The omelette was good for large appetites. The biscuit and gravy was good, but not the standout. The local bacon and sausage was exceptional, but the best was the eggs. I have not had eggs so fresh and tasty - ever. I was completely caught off guard. The service was great. Kim was our server and she was friendly, efficient, and a joy to encounter. The restaurant was efficient, pretty clean, and shines with the local ingredients. read more

We had a wonderful experience at Elvira's. We had a small birthday celebration there and the team was absolutely wonderful. Like a family gathering atmosphere, excellent food and homemade deserts in a beautiful setting. Have eaten there over there years and have never been disappointed! Thank you Elvira's! read more

This is one of my favorite places to go for food great service and ambience!... and some yummy desserts

I ordered 2 eggs over easy, gravy, hash brown casserole and sausage. The eggs weren't even cooked all the way, the gravy was like water. I've never seen gravy that soupy?! The biscuits were the frozen biscuits, and the hash brown casserole was flavorless. I seriously don't know how this place is rated so high? read more

Friendly staff, great service and delicious food. Saw this place while driving past doing some sight seeing, and this place caught our eye. Large parking lot was packed, which was a good sign! Nice location, lovely decorated yard full of plants and pretty flowers, and an incredible mountain view looking out our window where we were seated, and we didn't have to wait long for our food. Very clean restaurant, also. Glad we stopped in on our vacation! read more

My hubby had the Reuben and I had the Smoked Gouda Chicken Club both with baked sweet potatoes. Sandwiches were average and sweet potatoes weren't hot enough to melt "loaded topping"'which we were charge $1.99 each extra for without telling us. Service was the best thing about our meal. Very friendly and prompt. Key Lime pie was generous and loaded with whip cream but almost tasteless. We arrived about 5:00 on Friday evening with no wait. read more

Took my family here today as it was on our list to visit while in the area. I'm 53 years old and this was truly, without doubt and without exaggeration, the worst breakfast I've eaten in my life. I love pancakes and frankly am not that picky about them. But these were literally inedible. Salty, gummy and undercooked, I had to use water to wash them down without choking. Two burnt disks they called sausage accompanied this atrocity. Even the coffee was bad. My son's chicken was apparently passable but even he couldn't stomach the waffles. My daughter, bless her soul, did her best to finish the gray...yes gray...crepe. The fruit was even terrible. To their credit, they removed the pancakes but the bill still came to 60 dollars. Our waitress was nice and I can't fault her at all. I still left her 20 percent. I'm not sure what's going on with this place. Maybe the regular chef was sick that day...who knows. But I would seriously recommend you go anywhere for breakfast other than this place. I still cant believe how bad it was. I've eaten thousands of breakfasts at restaurants all over the world and, honestly speaking, I truly can't recall any worse than this. I know this review may seem unbelievable but I assure you it is 100% accurate. You've been warned. read more

One of our favorite restaurants in wears valley. Always tasty! Always busy! We always go for breakfast! Highly recommend.

Wonderful breakfast today! Evan though they were busy staff was very friendly! No pictures of our food... because we dug right in!! Worth the drive! We ate outside with a view of the Great Smoky Mountains. You won't want to miss this place! read more

Great location right in the mountains. Nice outdoor porch dog friendly. Our waitress Kim was very informative. Both got the Tennessee haystack. The gravy is more of a sawmill gravy not a sausage gravy, but good. would recommend to anyone with family, couples or puppies very nice very friendly. read more

The service was exceptional here! I went here back in November, but forgot to write a post for it. I went after the Cade's Cove Lope and it definitely got my energy back lol. I ordered a crêpe to go, which I don't remember the name of it, but it was OK. I'd LOVED their omelette that they had! My waitress was extremely friendly and very attentive to me the whole time. Even the person at checkout was very friendly. I will definitely recommend this place for anyone they offer a local discount as well. read more

Stopped here and not a fan. We waited nearly an hour to have breakfast here on a weekday and once we were seated it took a while to get drinks and food. The food tasted like it had been frozen and reheated, not homemade and not very tasty. Friendly service but not worth the hype or the wait. read more

the cafe omlet is very dry, no cheese in it. Grits were lumpy and tasteless. Service was not good. Asked for decaf, got regular. No refills offered until ready to go. Atmosphere was nice. Parking was a nightmare. read more

So glad we found this gem of a place. Service was impeccable, food came out quickly and was delicious. We sat inside and enjoyed the set up and small breakfast place vibe. Also enjoyed seeing the porch seating and that it was dog friendly! Sausage gravy was very very good, biscuits were buttery, crispy and sooo good. Could have eaten just those for breakfast and lunch! Waffles had great favor, bacon was well cooked, everything was great! Do not miss this place! read more

Really cool place with fresh food. Modern interior with some traditional vibes. Would come back again.

Awesome breakfast ! We have been here a couple of times and it has not disappointed us yet! Nice gift shop next door while we waited for a table . I had the French toast which was really good. Husband had nothing bad to say so I'll call it a win! Our bill was under $25 and you can't beat that! A little off the beaten path , but so worth it . We don't like any chain or highly commercialized restaurants and this restaurant was just our style ! read more

Great Gluten Free Menu, food was wonderful. They had the best gluten free bread I've ever had!

Amazing food and service. You need to eat there if you want some of the best food you can get. 10/10 for sure !!!

After arriving with a group of 9 just after 11 on a Saturday and seeing the packed parking lot, I was impressed that they managed to seat us immediately. The service was quick and friendly without being over-solicitous, and the wait for our food was not bad at all given the full house. Each of us ordered a sandwich and a side, and no one was unhappy, but the clear winners were the people who ordered the Grown-Up Grilled Cheese (by a landslide). The food looked so good that I couldn't convince anyone to pause long enough to get pictures, and even though several of us couldn't finish our sandwiches, there weren't many leftovers. The onion jam also received rave reviews. The only negative was that the sweet potato fries lacked flavor; they were crispy and looked appealing but just needed some seasoning. The restrooms were clean, and the prices were pretty reasonable. We would definitely go back, and next time we will try the breakfast menu. read more

The service was great! The ladies in there were friendly and attentive. I had the chicken and waffles. Chicken was juicy and the breading was crisp. Waffles were coated in a sugar like a glazed donut. So good! Highly recommend this local spot. read more

My wife and I were in a nearby cabin looking fof a good breakfast/lunch option after check out. She found this place on Yelp with great reviews. We were not disappointed. It was very busy when we got there which was a good sign, but we only waited about 15 minutes. First the coffee was really good, which is important to us both. I had the breakfast sampler with eggs, bacon, biscuit and gravy, and hashbrown casserole. It was amazing! Eggs cooked to perfection as well as the bacon. Biscuit was very fluffy and the homemade gravy was some of the best I have had at a restaurant. The hashbrown casserole is the first I have had to compete with Cracker Barrels. She got a savory crepe with chicken, cheese, and veggies. It too was amazing. Our server Jennifer was attentive providing top notch service. We will be back!! read more

Stoped at Elvira's for a great lunch before a long day of travel, the smoked Gouda chicken sandwich was amazing!

SO disappointed - I wanted to love it but was very let down. 1) The "crepes" are a buckwheat tortilla, not crepes. 2) Two OTHER families besides ours had "additional" charges for items they didn't order while we were there - Watch your receipt! 3) Kids meals say they come with a side, yet we were charged $4 for fruit - despite it being advertised as an option. We were also charged $4 for a side item that was added on, but never brought to the table. I let the server know, and she said that she would remove it, but never did. 4) I brought the two items to the attention of the staffer who was manning the register, and it was made very clear to me that correcting the receipt was an imposition. She huffed and puffed and even went so far as to ask "is this good enough for you now?". With these overcharges AND an almost $5 charge (well over any less than 3% credit card merchant service fee they would be assessed) -the difference amounted to almost $15. We came in at the tail end of breakfast so that would account for the low quality of the "freshness" but it does not account for the lack of service or attention to the details that we received. As my husband said " it now makes sense why they would offer a 10% discount to anybody who comes back". read more
