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.

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!

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

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.

From the moment we sat down, the food just kept coming . fried chicken that was crispy and juicy, fluffy biscuits, creamy mac and cheese, and sides that tasted straight out of someone's grandma's recipe box. Nothing felt rushed, and the staff was genuinely warm and attentive the whole time. And they had fun games to play outside while you wait. We played cornhole and ping pong. It was alot of fun. What really made it special was the atmosphere loud in the best way,we all were going back for seconds. You don't leave hungry, and you definitely don't leave disappointed. If you're in Pigeon Forge and want comfort food done right, this place is a must.

Upon planning our trip, I was discussing local restaurants and places to eat with my coworkers, one…read morecoworker of mine is local to the area and highly suggested this restaurant. The online menu gave plenty of eye candy and we were absolutely starving by the time we arrived Friday evening. The staff was very attentive and kind. It's clear that this place is fully operated by word-of-mouth and return guests. It's a huge establishment with several rooms by big fireplaces and Lazy Susan's to pass around the family style meal. The menu was a little difficult to navigate so many options laid out, but only certain options available per day. So ultimately, we were not able to order exactly what we wanted, but we ordered what was available for Friday, which was the Salisbury steak, fried fish, and fried chicken. All of these meats came in a small portion to split amongst our three people, and with unlimited sides. Some of the sides were pretty impressive. I would have to say my favorite side was the broccoli casserole, followed by the mashed potatoes and gravy, which were real potatoes! The mac & cheese was more on the creamy side versus the gooey cheesy side. Unfortunately, some of our chicken was undercooked, and the skin was very thin and not too crispy. The fish was decent, not dried out whatsoever, which is a pretty good compliment. While my coworker said that the chicken and dumplings were her favorite, I failed to enjoy them :( All in all, this was not our favorite restaurant from our trip this weekend and it appears that big groups and big families really do enjoy dining at this establishment.

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.
