What a great little spot! We stopped for brunch on our way home from Pigeon Forge and had a great meal! Customer service was excellent and friendly! Atmosphere was homey and a small town feel! We spoke with the owner and she was a delight! I had the ham and eggs (delicious) and my husband had the biscuits and gravy (he said it was great) and my boys had the kids waffle (it was gone so it must have been good). Would highly recommend! read more

The food was absolutely delicious and the service was outstanding. Can't wait to go back!

Off the beaten path and away from the crowds - already was a winner in my books. We arrived around 8:30ish on a Saturday morning and were seated immediately. Not sure if they were still just getting things going for the day but we had to ask for silverware and syrup for our table. Not a big deal really but when you don't see a server for awhile it feels more like one. The food was excellent, maybe not memorable forever but quite good. What stood out to us most was the breakfast ham. Just seemed so authentic and fresh, unlike other places. My son was happy with his giant kids pancake and the eggs were great too. I had to order egg whites for dietary reasons so nothing to write home about there but at least they could accommodate for me. read more

We drove umpteenth miles to get there and we ordered our breakfast and it came out .I just want to say I've NEVER seen gravy like that flourwith ALOT of water. The eggs were not fried enough. This is a place we ate there twice at one time .NOT AGAIN read more

Family of four-we ordered the adult grilled cheese, hamburger, Philly cheesesteak and a chicken kids meal. Service was wonderful and the food was great! Fresh, quality ingredients and just done well. A must if you are in Townsend! read more

My wife, kids, and I took our extended family trip to Pigeon Forge for a week. On the day we went to the Caverns we decided to stop for an impromptu lunch here. It is a quaint restaurant that serves brunch and lunch. Parking was on the lawn out front and we were greeted by a few wonderful staff members! We were a group of 11 and were able to squeeze around a table. Our waitress was very attentive and nice. Our kids all ordered crepes while the adults ordered turkey sandwiches and fried chicken and waffles. All were fantastic! If you find yourself in the area you must stop by and try this place! read more

Great breakfast spot with good service (and usually no wait!) Stopped in after trying several well-known breakfast places in Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area which all had over 2 hours waits, and we were not disappointed! Fresh and affordable food with lots of options. Great staff and quick service, and of course a quaint decor! I would highly recommend to anyone passing through who wants to avoid the craziness of being in town. read more

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.

A delightful, casual country cafe serving breakfast, brunch and lunch and on Friday and Saturday also dinner. Located close to eastern most end of the Foothills Parkway. Varied menu of freshly prepared items such as waffles, pancakes, savory and sweet buckwheat crepes, sandwiches and burgers. Friendly staff. Will definitely return when in the area. read more

Sunday brunch is breakfast until 2pm. The breakfast was BALLER. One star off because they add 3.5% for paying with a card. Otherwise this would've been a 5 star review. That hashbrown casserole almost made me cry, it's 100x better than any other one I've had. The Benton's bacon cooked to perfection. Everything was delicious, hot and fast. Be warned: almost no one is wearing a mask. Not the cooks, not the wait staff, not the customers. I expected this for the area. You can eat outside though. We wore out masks through out & I got the impression they warp-speeded our food bc of that- so pro-tip try wearing your mask until you get your food, maybe it'll come out faster? We're vaxxed so we weren't too worried. The food is incredible & the staff was great: friendly & super efficient. read more

Mountain man omelette, grownup grilled cheese are my favorites but everything has been great that we have tried! Service is always great and they even bring my dog a water bowl when we eat outside. Love the open kitchen farmhouse feel and I can see what other dishes look like for future visits. read more

We stumbled upon this place and had breakfast here two days in a row!! It was great from the dog greeting us on the front lawn to the quaint restaurant then the wonderful service and fantastic food!! If you think it's too far then think again!! read more

This was suggested to us by someone, it was a nice drive our to wears valley and the restaurant was friendly, clean, and enjoyable. The gravy and biscuits were tasty but the gravy could have been hotter. My egg's and bacon were done correctly and as ordered. This place gets packed so be prepared to wait a couple of min's on the weekend. We would come back. read more

Was completely unimpressed with the food and service. The coffee was bitter and burned. The toast was dry and hard. The eggs lukewarm. All in all, just forgettable. read more

Absolutely amazing'! Hands down great food and service! Will definitely be back soon!

I just wanted to take a moment to rate this restaurant. My wife and I went to September 22 for breakfast and dinner. Absolutely the best food I have eaten great service and the backstory is amazing. A young lady comes over here from Russia immigrates the right way works her tail off and creates a fabulous place to eat and spend time with your loved ones, I highly recommend this place. Can't recommend it enough. read more

This is by far my favorite breakfast in the Pigeon Forge area! The service is always great and the food is 15/10 read more

I'm so glad we stopped here on a whim! We were starving while heading back to Pigeon Forge from doing the tail of the dragon. We stopped here on a whim, and are SO glad we did! I got the Turkey sandwich and my husband got the burger. Both were SO good, especially the burger!! Also, I need to know where they get their pickles bc WOW are they good!! We'll definitely be back on our next trip!! read more

We've driven by this place quite often on our trips to East TN but never stopped until now. We ate dinner here one evening then breakfast the next morning! For dinner I got the fried trout with cinnamon apples & mashed potatoes & husband got the chicken & waffles! We were both pleased with our meals! The waffles have a very unique taste! & the mashed potatoes were definitely the real deal! Breakfast was a great meal too! Husband loved his Crêpe & I really enjoyed the haystack! Love that they use a lot of local ingredients!My only complaint is that it is almost $3 to add a side to your breakfast & I was a little disappointed with the size of the hashbrown casserole side! Overall great food & great experience! read more

Food was ok Very good service. The food comes quick , but the price is high for the quality. read more

Excellent, little cafe with a various selection of breakfast and lunch menu items to choose from! I ended up ordering their cafe crepe with grilled chicken, pesto sauce, mushrooms, onions, spinach, and feta cheese inside a buckwheat crepe. It was delicious and you can tell they were made from nothing but fresh ingredients! The best thing is, it didn't even take long for them to make our order. We were in and out in less than an hour! The coffee was just okay but the service was so nice and friendly and the restaurant itself was so well-kept. Our waitress was absolutely amazing! If I ever find myself back here again, I will definitely be back and I most definitely recommend this place to friends and others. read more

Great service, super friendly staff, good food! I had biscuits and gravy, because I was in the south and it's the thing to do...it was good. My husband had eggs, sausage, potatoes and a biscuit and he ate everything. Can't wait to try lunch at this stop. read more

This may be the fastest restaurant I've ever sat at in my life. Super fast and friendly service. I had the cheeseburger which was excellent. 4 meals equaling to $77, 2 of the meals being Philly cheesesteaks, and the other being the Reuben. All 3 were said to be delicious as well. Not many menu items but I get it due to it being a cafe. I can't get over the faucet in the restroom..so cool! Overall good experience, there's a general store right next door and a zip line/horse riding place towards the back. read more

We were visiting from Coral Gables, Florida. We stayed about 1/2 mile from Elvira's Cafe. Stopped by one morning before heading out to the mountains. Had an unforgettable dinning experience. Great environment and great good! Their Waffles, pancakes, eggs, toast, fried chiken, etc all taste natural. This place is unlike anything you would find in a major city. Would highly highly recommend this hidden gem in Wears Valley, TN! My family and I can't wait to dine there again! read more

Great restaurant to stop after a long hike in the Smokies. I loved my turkey crepe and my boyfriend said his chicken and waffles were the best he's ever had. I was kind of hoping they would still be serving breakfast food, so if that's where you're at as well, make sure you check their menu hours! Regardless, it was great food. read more

My family and I had breakfast at Elvira's this morning and I cannot say enough good about it! My 3 year old drank her apple juice too quickly and ended up getting sick at our table. The waitstaff could not have been more kind and helpful, assisting us with cleaning up and even bringing over crackers & ginger ale to try to settle her tummy. Even the patrons at another table came over with napkins and alerted our waitress for us. The food was excellent too! We had the Tennessee Haystack and it was soooo good. We will definitely be coming back to Elvira's during our next trip to TN. read more

Four stars because when we ordered our burgers- we had 2 well done and 1 medium well. When the server brought our food, we asked which was which and she said " I don't know". If that was the case, not even sure why they asked how we liked them cooked. Anyway, the food ended up being fine. The waitress that took our order(different from the lady that brought our food) was very nice. We were seated fairly quickly and the overall place had a nice atmosphere. read more

I didn't expect such good quality food in this local restaurant! Diners can be hit or miss, but this was so much more than just a local diner, it was a quality cafe. Food came out fast and fresh and I really enjoyed the hashbrown casserole. read more

Had a lovely experience at Elvira's! The food was delish! We ordered the chicken and waffles, pancakes, French toast, and berry crepe. All were on point! Service was also great. It was speedy and the wait staff was kind. At the end we were greeted by Elvira herself, who was super sweet to our family and told us about her own family. Overall we were very pleased with the experience and would definitely return. read more
