Outside Seating
Judy R.

The nicest friendliest cafe in Sevierville Tennessee. Located on Wears Valley Road, surrounded by beautiful foliage and flowers. We sat outside because of Freck, even though today is almost as hot as Florida. I ordered the mountain man omelet with hash brown casserole. So did Dave. It was large and delicious loaded with ham, bacon, sausage and cheese and veggies! The first time we came here on Saturday the place was packed outside. Michelle the manager and the staff moved tables to make sure we had a place to sit. Kim our server extraordinaire and made sure we had everything we needed. Everyone was so kind to Freckles! We sat outside, enjoyed our breakfast in this beautiful mountain cafe!

This place should be considered a hidden gem, this isn't a fast food restaurant, good food takes a bit to cook , it was delicious tho , the wait staff was quick and on point with their service, came to the table several times, place was very clean and cozy , not a super huge place but huge on experience, I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for something different and off the daily strips

Mtn man omelette with gravy
David L.

Location and setting - excellent view on a hill overlooking US-321 with OUTDOOR seating. Dog friendly with attentive wait staff (Kim). Our 1st stop here was on Saturday morning. The hostess Michelle was exemplary in getting us seated with our Dalmatian. Great start! Our food comes out quickly as the kitchen was open as you walk inside (see pic). On Saturday my Elvira omelette was good but today's Mountain Man was the BEST. Not a gravy man (calories) it was enjoyed with Cholula. Pricing is decent and we got 10% discount by staying at Big Meadow Campground (Townsend) just down the road. How nice. Not being rushed and having plenty of parking (Harper Bros) makes this our 1st choice. We have a class C(30 ft) and this is a great place to start our day.

French toast, didn't even need the berries, it was very tasty

The food was delicious & the service was amazing, Our family breakfast for carry out, since we were traveling home to Indiana. My grandkids and I had the French toast with berries, hash brown casserole & turkey sausage... what impressed me the most was how well they treated us & the atmosphere.

We were informed of Elvira's by our friend as a must. We unfortunately missed out on breakfast but were on time for them switching to lunch. Walking back to our table we passed patrons who had breakfast. I can't confirm of the flavor but the appearance alone was mouth watering. We will definitely have to come back for breakfast. Between the two of us, our lunch was an amazing grilled cheese sandwich with both bacon and ham and a roasted turkey sandwich. Our sides were regular and sweet potato fries. The food looked absolutely amazing and was delicious. The size of the sandwich was large enough for two. From our table we were able to look up into the mountain and down the valley. It was very peaceful.

This place is awesome great food and service Nice decor and fair prices for quality food

I stopped here on my return trip home from Townsend for the half marathon that vacation races puts on. In fact I had finished running, showered and checked out of my room. The hotel clerk recommended this place for breakfast. I was starving! I unfortunately missed breakfast by 15 minutes, arriving at 11:15 on Sunday. They had some chicken tacos though that sounded pretty good. So that's what I ordered. The tacos ended up being just ok. I really had my mouth set for breakfast... I'll have to return to try their breakfast menu. The staff was super friendly, everyone. Even though they were somewhat busy I was seated fairly quickly and everything went smoothly. I enjoyed their outdoor seating!

Chicken Tenders

Everything we ordered was good! No complaints. The servers were cordial, and the atmosphere pretty casual. A great place to get away from the parkway hustle

Chicken salad sandwich
Jeff C.

We wanted to get away from the crowed town of Gatlinburg and look for good eating places. We found a winner! Elvira's was wonderful! The service was excellent and the food was outstanding. There is inside and outside dining available. Love this place. We'll be back again. We had the white fish sandwich with pickled beets and the chicken salad sandwich and fries. We also had an order of fried green tomatoes. Everything was awesome!

Outside deck

Friendly, the food was great. The ambience and location was also excellent. Very peaceful and relaxing location. We stayed nearby on vacation and we called to make a reservation and immediately they took our information and everything was ready by the time that we arrived. There is a super cute and friendly dog that rooms outside, my daughters loved to throw the ball at him after we ate. Would Recommend and will be returning most definitely

The BEST place we ate in the Pigeon Forge area. The waffles were so good, we didn't use syrup. Also, the service was top notch.

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.

We spent our anniversary at BlackBerry Farm and had the most wonderful time. Farm to table dishes…read morefor all three meals is something I could get used to. The beautiful fresh produce complimented the expertly cooked and seasoned proteins. There wasn't a single thing we ate that we didn't enjoy. In between meals, we made sure to stay active to earn our appetite. The property offers access to great trails in the Smokies which we took advantage of as well as a lovely outdoor pool with a view. The room itself was pleasant as well. It was hard to leave the luxurious king bed every morning. The heated floors in the bathroom and the comfy sitting area made our Holly Springs cottage suite the perfect home base. We were also assigned our own golf cart to get around the property (although we chose to walk mostly to take in the views). Service was top notch and the staff were wonderful. Every evening they surprised us with a little treat for our anniversary which was very thoughtful. We couldn't have asked for a better stay!

We have talking about BlackBerry Farms for years and that we needed to go. We knew it was…read moreexpensive, but the recounting of our friends kept drawing our interest back in. We decided to take the plunge and we are so happy we did. It's a 3 night minimum and frankly a great idea to take it all in. We enjoyed the following activities ; Fly Fishing, wine tasting , the spa , a farm tour , & tomato tasting. All were spectacular and unique to themselves. The culinary experience is nothing short of a Michelin experience for dinner. The price is all inclusive , sans your alcohol. The service is world class and the staff makes you feel so welcome. Whether it's a special occasion or a bucket list item , I would say it's a must in your lifetime !! Side note- We thought this would be a one and done. However, the level of experience and ability to unplug was extremely therapeutic. Hope you enjoy the review by LIKING it and sharing feedback :).

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.

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.
