Waiting area

Amazing service and super quick. Server checked by a couple times to make sure I was good and if I needed anything and made sure I never ran out of my drink. Chip and salsa were excellent. I wasn't starved so I only had the Taco salad and it was good, beef was flavored perfectly, lettuce was shredded and very crispy. They serve the salad a bit differently, it doesn't come with sour cream, they give you s choice of dressing and it's served on the side The interior was open and brightly colored. Music wasn't to loud and conversation can be had without having to yell Parking lot is a bit interesting, there isn't much right in front by the door, most is around the side and the area seemed to be poorly lit imho

Food and atmosphere was outstanding and the staff was really great. The people working here are well trained on the menu, allergies, and are overall enjoyable to interact with making this a great place the fajitas come out sizzling hot and will not disappoint. Definitely five stars.

Cool decor!

We liked it here! Portions are very generous. And the Waitresses are great. We were treated so well. And she listened to literally everything we requested! The managers are nice and every staff never had a smile on their Face. So refreshing. We loved the atmosphere... so cool and there was so much to look at! Kid friendly and Clean Highchairs! Can sit large groups easily! Prices are decent! We will be back! Extensive Menu options as well!! Plenty of parking! See you Next time on Our mini Getaway!! -The Kanevski Family

We went in at 12 for a quick Saturday lunch. The ambiance is definitely eclectic Mexican chic which I love. We sat in the bar area and our bartender was great for the Margaritas with our extra request for Tajin. We ordered burritos and enchiladas - the meet was well seasoned. I didn't care for the masa garnish. This is not authentic Mexican but it will get you by in a pinch.

Baja shrimp burrito

My wife and I come here every chance we come to Gatlinburg. We've been to Gatlinburg five times. We've been here to eat five times. The food here is outstanding. The service is outstanding. The people are polite. The restaurant is clean. Prices are reasonable. Highly recommended to anybody. Pictures are of the Baja shrimp burrito and the ultimate tacos ultimate tacos. The only complaint I have about the burrito was there was a little bit too much bean in it. It overpowered everything and they used very tiny shrimp. They need to pick up the size a little bit and go to a medium shrimp instead of an extra small shrimp.

Hostess took a long time to greet and seat us as did the waitress to greet us and ask for our beverage selection. Table was extremely tight fitting so we both had to seat on the same side instead of across from each other. I had the Jose Fiesta Sampler which was good not great because everything was fried. The fried cheese stuffed avocado was interesting. But I think something was missing. Maybe more citrus? Limes to breakup the fried everything? The complimentary chips were the thin type and freshly made. The salsa needed more citrus and heat imo. We liked the yellow rice. It was an OK dining experience. But probably won't be back.

This diner is a blast from the past, right down to the benches and the tables, every table has a…read morecoat and hat rack attached to it. A reminder of the days when men and women dressed with class and wore hats and coats to dinner.. Mills has this inherent 50s vibe, but the menu is quite up-to-date and everything is delicious. You can't go wrong with the burgers, I'm just telling you they've got something for everyone's taste. Even the sides don't disappoint, and the milkshakes are enough for two people, at least it was enough for the two of us. My engine rings were fantastic, breaded to perfection, and plenty of them came with my meal. Our waitress was tremendous also, quick drink refills, brought our food, hot, and prepared to give helpful and delicious recommendations from the menu. They do sell their merchandise at the checkout, but what do you expect, this is pigeon Forge for goodness sake! Everyone is Hawking their stuff . We are definitely planning on coming back and trying something different. Their menu is diverse and I think that we could come back for years and never have the same thing twice.

First time here, overall decent place. It's a good 1950s diner, typical of what you see normally…read more It was a happening place, all seats were filled, there was probably 60 guests there. The staff was running back and fourth, overall the wait time was not and at all. I had a chili, cheese, mushroom, back, burger, onion rings, and a root beer float. The service was decent, the food was ok, not greatest but not the best I've had either. I wouldn't mind returning and trying something else next time.

We stopped in here on our recent trip to the area as it has an outdoor dog friendly patio option…read moreand we were traveling with our Frenchie. It took a bit for our server to come acknowledge us but once he did, he was very helpful and attentive. My boyfriend ordered a peach Kentucky mule (they originally said they couldn't make that, which we questioned with it being a distillery, but our server came back and said they could after all). He enjoyed it and said it's one of the better ones he's had! We both ordered smash burgers and sweet potato fries - I had the junction 35 (pimento cheese + bacon jam) and he had the farmhouse (bacon + fried egg). Both were amazing! Juicy burgers, perfect size patties for smash burgers, the buns were fresh and held up nicely, and the toppings were great. Sweet potato fries had a great crunch and were seasoned really well. Service was great, food was high quality and had great flavor, and the dog friendly patio was perfect for our pup. It's located in a nice little strip of shops and restaurants, and has a common area of cornhole and other games that would be fun for an activity before/after dinner, or if you have kids in tow. We'd definitely make another trip here when in the area.

No wait. Service was quick. Food was good. Server was wonderful…read more Parking lot is tight and small. We had to circle a few times to get a spot. I got a side salad with tots and cheese. The bigger salads were monstrous but delicious.
