Very small, but the home ambiance and exceptionally pleasant waitresses compensates. It seemed most were ordering breakfasts, although they did have the daily special of chicken and dumplings. The pineapple coconut cake is definitely homemade, sweet and fluffy and delicious @ $3.50 a slice. I intend to return during the week, when fewer people are in the area. A Sunday on a 3 day weekend is too busy for me, as the booths are a bit too cozy and close together. Actually for being busy and having all ages eating, it was pleasantly quiet. I definitely recommend eating here in Wears Valley on the way from Pigeon Forge to Townsend via Wear Valley Road.. about 10 minutes from the parkway.. One can continue on to Townsend to either go left to the river road to the Cove or right to the nice town of Maryville .. Returned Thursday for lunch of fried chicken.. not disappointed Returned in Late February about 1:45 pm Tuesday and place was not as busy. I enjoyed the chit-chat with patrons and with 'Grandma'. The food was comfortably homey, but that pineapple-coconut cake was outstanding. I didnt take a picture as I was too anxious to 'dig in' I will return!! read more

I really hate to give bad reviews, especially in a period of time when businesses are struggling to get good help and stay afloat. My husband and I split the Country Ham Platter with an extra side of grits. It came with 2 eggs, country ham, grits and biscuit or toast. We got a biscuit. They even cooked one egg over easy and one scrambled at our asking. The eggs, grits, biscuit and coffee were great. DO NOT get the ham!!! It immediately grossed me out at the smell but I thought...maybe it's just me. I eventually cut a piece and put it up to my mouth. As soon as it touched my tongue I put it down and told my husband that something wasn't right about it and I wasn't eating it. My husband can often eat things that I can't but he also said something wasn't right. I scrolled through the Yelps and saw a review about the exact same thing just 28 days earlier. When we paid I told the manager that I thought something was wrong with the ham and she said she sells a lot of it. I told her she should taste it for herself. She told me she doesn't eat meat and I said that someone on her staff needed to taste it because it was definitely rancid and they should not sell it! She didn't seem concerned about the issue at all. We haven't eaten there since. read more

Best breakfast!!! Cozy homey atmosphere. Tourist friendly. UNBELIEVABLE SAUAGE GRAVY & biscuits! Pancakes were light & fluffy. Definitely worth a drive to get away from chain & pancake houses in Piegon Forge read more

Name change but the food is GREAT! The biscuits and gravy are VERY GOOD! Eggs great... better than home cooking! Service was spot on and we got a table by the window with views of the mountains. Ambiance could be improved upon but that, I'm sure, will come in time. read more

This is 5 stars mainly because it is a little local eatery that is cute. The ambiance is home towny and cute. I got the sausage platter with biscuits and gravy. The biscuits and gravy was a standout. Service was great! You get food really fast. read more

Now known as Jodie's Cafe. The two sisters that own it are super nice. The biscuits are very good as well as the country fried steak. They used to own an Italian restaurant in West Valley that was delicious called Geppettos. read more

Delicious and simple food. Nothing too fancy, except the stellar view. Felt like a million bucks sitting right next to gorgeous mountains. Cat head biscuits were amazing, country fried steak was seasoned perfectly. Great coffee. Straight forward and outstanding. read more

Great place for breakfast. The biscuits and gravy were a hit with the family and I had a western omelet that was very good. The service was great! So much better than going into pigeon forge and wait 2 hours for a table. Very convenient if you're staying in Wears Valley! read more

Very cozy little place with a nice ambiance and great service! We wanted to get there for breakfast but didn't make it in time so we ate from the lunch menu. The Veggie Platter was pretty good! read more

The coziest, warmest, homiest place to have a delicious breakfast. Super laid back atmosphere with beautiful views. Everything from coffee, to breakfast, and strawberry cake to-go was so good. Service was great. The biscuits and gravy reminded of my Granny's. Definitely a must-stop if you're in the area. read more

Gravy good, biscuits good. Hair on plate. Grits undercooked. Liquid eggs. Coffee sucks.

Stopped by hoping for some great food. Average at best. My shrimp was dark brown. Corn bread was too dry to eat. Potato salad was delicious. Coconut cake is very yummy. Prices and customer service was great. Bathroom is outside. Kinda freaks me out to hold the key after washing my hands. Decor is almost aggressively religious. Cheap, fast, average food. read more

We ate here twice during our stay in Wears Valley. Staff is very nice and service was fast. Food was like eating at grandma's house. Highly recommend breakfast! Ordered a western omelet that was delicious and a large serving. Would definitely eat here again, especially for breakfast. read more

We were looking for a casual breakfast spot where we could bring our lab. No dogs allowed inside, of course, but Buddy was allowed to lie on the shaded front porch and greet all the customers as they entered. Great pancakes, country ham and eggs! Just what we were looking for and affordable. Such nice staff and a killer view. read more

We were drawn in by the charm, warmth and great smell.. we stayed for the great food! The staff was amazing, the service was prompt and friendly. The food was hearty, delicious and truly tasted like something you would get at a family gathering! We were elated to find this little treasure and I hope we can return! read more

My normal rating criteria says I should probably go with 3 stars but the unbelievable sweetness of the ladies working today and the chocolate pie almost sent it to a four. If you are staying in the area and you just want a good bite to eat, stop here! I had the pork bbq sandwich and little touches like a buttered and slightly toasted bun took it up a notch! We might have to go back because I bet she makes an outstanding biscuit. If nothing else, stop for a piece of pie! read more

Weirdest place I've ever been to eat. I had to look around to see if there were cameras. Service was slow at best. My burger was actually decent but it couldn't overcome "Granny I'm assuming-yelling at the older regular for complaining his iced tea cup tasted like chlorine. This went on for a while and continued across the room as he was seated, paying and leaving. Maybe the guy is a regular PITA but you didn't earn any new customers that day. read more

This used to be our favorite place to go and now there never open. We have went on 3 different days of the week at 3 different times of the day and even though they have a huge sign saying there open they have a chain across the porch saying there closed. There website, google and there hours posted on the door say they should be open. This is poor communication, poor management and poor customer service read more

Great decor and vibe. The waitresses were very nice, but that's all I can say that was good about our experience. The restaurant was about 3/4 full of people eating, yet there was zero aroma in the air from the food. That should have been our sign to leave. My sausage, onion, egg, and cheese omelette was so bland I had to cover it in pepper and hot sauce before it was edible. Next was the sausage gravy and biscuits. I thought to myself, they are going to knock this out of the park. Boy was I wrong. I don't think the biscuits had raised more than half an inch. The gravy had no sausage in it, and had zero taste. It was like eating paste with a piece of slightly toasted bread While I was choking down my food I had noticed that both waitresses had been coughing since we arrived. I looked over at one of them, and she was covering her mouth with her hands while she was coughing. She immediately picked up some silverware, wrapped in napkins and brought out drinks to a new table that had just sit down. What an epic failure all around. read more

Best breakfast in the area! Have eaten here every time we visit the area and always delicious. Now owned by the previous owner's granddaughter, she is making her grandma proud. Best sausage gravy and biscuits in town! Omelets are also delicious. Option of eating inside or outside. Service is prompt and ambiance is exactly what the name insinuates. read more

I had seen the listing for Grandmother's on Yelp and thought it would be kind of neat to eat here today since I ate at Grandma's yesterday lol. I chose a different place instead, but there was an enormous wait to get in, so fate led me here anyway. Wears Valley was hosting a fall festival with bumper to bumper traffic crawling for miles in both directions. So when I saw the sign, I decided to get off the road for a little bit and have breakfast. The place is small and charming. One of the servers seemed a little frazzled this morning, but my server did a great job. The food was very tasty. The tenderloin I had complemented the biscuits and gravy very well. The scrambled egg was okay...I like mine dry and fluffy, and parts of this one were a little wet. The coffee was good, and my cup was kept filled. I would have breakfast here again, but hopefully without the stressful traffic situation and the chaotic service. Overall, however, it was an enjoyable breakfast...as fate would have it. read more

The words 'Grandma's Kitchen' conjure some pretty serious memories that this decent diner just doesn't quite live up to. My gram was a killer cook! While my BLT was extremely affordable at under $5, it was also the bare minimum of what is required of the acronym: maybe three or four small slices of bacon, a decent amount of shredded lettuce, and only enough tomato to get some in about half my bites. If I went again I'd order a side of bacon and a side of toast plus some tomato and make my own sandwich. My friend's side of bacon plate had at least twice as much bacon on it as my sandwich did. This is not how my Granny rolled! My friend's all ordered breakfast, though, and the omlette plates looked very generous. This is functionally a cash only establishment (there was enough of an upcharge for credit that my friends all busted out their phones to Venmo the one person with plenty of cash in his wallet), and there's scripture everywhere you look so if your Grandma wasn't a Christian it may not remind you of her kitchen. Frankly between that and the museum of cast iron cookware on the walls it felt a bit more like Grandma's Kitsch-en. read more

This place has the BEST FOOD! A ways off the beaten track, but it was well worth it! Glad we found it just by accident. And the prices were good also. read more

Great food . It's a locals Wear's Valley favorite. Cat head biscuits are the bomb. Never had a bad meal here.

This place was amazing. Great atmosphere and the best biscuits and gravy I've had since I was a kid.

Service was friendly but very slow. We waited for 15 minutes for someone to take our order and the place wasn't even crowded. From there it took over 30 minutes to get eggs and ham.My plate came with 2 eggs and a piece of ham that looked and tasted rancit. We also ordered biscuits with gravy we got the biscuits but we were informed that they were out of gravy. It was overpriced and not very good. read more

Quaint little restaurant in Wears Valley. This place is fantastic for breakfast but come with patience, they cook to order. Highly recommend Grandmothers Kitchen, we dine here regularly when we visit the area. read more

The coffee was delicious and the biscuits and gravy tasted homemade. Would 10/10 recommend for anyone wanting a small, chill breakfast!

Typical diner food, but a good place to stop for a meal outside Townsend. The place is pretty small so food comes out quickly, but seats can be hard to find. Meal size wasn't huge, but neither was the price. Everyone was very friendly! There is a $2 fee if you pay with a credit card so I would advise you to bring cash. read more

Great breakfast, fast and very friendly service in a quaint and clean restaurant! Had a bacon, egg, & cheese sandwich and hubby had sausage biscuit with a side of grits - food came out hot and delicious as always. The biscuits are DELICIOUS. One of our fav restaurants in the Wears Valley area. read more

Want a home cook meal this is the spot with good. Service also very pleasant the homemade biscuits were dead on come get you some

I ate breakfast here with my family before visiting Cades Cove. This is an exceptional restaurant and everything we ordered was cooked to perfection. The biscuits were AMAZING! The single waitress was great. She even held my baby grandson while we ate. A REAL family atmosphere complete with an "OUTHOUSE" for restrooms. Actually a separate building with modern facilities. I will go back and back now that I know this is here. Thanks to NC Memory Makers for bringing this place to my attention. read more

My partner and I were looking for some authentic TN breakfast and grandmothers did not disappoints ! There were a lot of breakfast stops in the area and we tried a few. Grandmothers took first place! You must try the golden cat head biscuits with a slice of ham. I'm planning a trip back just for those. Great view of the mountains as well! Friendly staff good priced food and a small town feel. read more

Off the beaten-path and away from the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg nightmare. This is a little hole-in-the wall that serves great breakfast. I know that breakfast is hard to screw up, but it's also hard to do really well. The biscuits are featured on the sign for a reason - they really are something special. While visiting, I learned that a cathead biscuit is an Old-Tymey [sic] word to describe the size of a biscuit. Can't say anything for lunch, but would definitely return again for breakfast. read more

We stopped by this place after seeing it the night before and had to try it. We came in this morning and enjoyed a wonderful meal - some of the best breakfast style food I've had in awhile! Among my party, we enjoyed the egg sandwich, bacon platter, biscuits, and omelet - with ABSOLUTELY no complaint on any aspect. Definitely recommend this as a must stop to anyone in the area! read more
