Our first visit to Over Easy. The restaurant itself was clean and bright. No sticky nasty menus you would expect at a travel location. Service was prompt and courteous. We ordered the chicken and waffles and the stuff French toast with cream cheese pumpkin filling with a side of bacon. Bacon was fairly standard and good. The French toast was a good hefty portion with lots of filling. Chicken and waffles also a good portion. The waffle itself probably couldn't stand on its own as it didn't quite have the vanilla sweetness I would expect. The chicken by itself was crispy and had a good flavor but the hot honey was nearly undetectable. The French toast was extremely sweet and tasted wonderful but I'm a morning sweets person and that's what I expect. Overall I'd give this a solid "will visit again" and a good alternative to its sister restaurant next door Crocketts. We also had a shareable fried deviled eggs that were pretty good. read more

I'm writing this review in hopes that others avoid the mistake we made. Specifically, avoiding avoiding Over Easy Al's. With the same ownership as Crockett's across the street and a pile of glowing reviews, we walked in expecting to discover our new favorite breakfast spot in Gatlinburg. Instead, we left wondering if we had somehow visited a completely different restaurant than everyone else. Let me start with the positives. The restaurant is beautiful. A tremendous amount of thought, money, and effort clearly went into the design. It's bright, inviting, and visually impressive. The hostess was also warm, friendly, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Unfortunately, that's where things started heading downhill. We began with the fried deviled eggs. Now, this should have been a slam dunk. Fried? Deviled eggs? What's not to love? The answer: the breading. There was so much of it that it overwhelmed everything else. Instead of enhancing the flavor, it buried it. The deviled egg filling barely had a chance to introduce itself before getting tackled by the coating. Then came the Farmer's Garden Omelette, which both my wife and I ordered based on our server Katie's recommendation. What arrived was an omelette that seemed to have a strained relationship with vegetables. The spinach was still essentially raw, and the vegetables felt less like ingredients and more like something someone remembered at the last second. "Oh no, this is supposed to be a vegetable omelette." Tosses vegetables into center. Closes omelette. Problem solved. The result was an omelette where the eggs and vegetables never really came together as a dish. But the biggest disappointment wasn't the food. It was the service. Our server disappeared for extended stretches despite the restaurant being nearly empty. Water glasses sat empty. No tea refills. No check-ins. At one point I started wondering if she'd been recruited into a witness protection program. The only time my iced tea was refilled was when I finally asked for the check. That's generally not the point in the meal when you're hoping service suddenly kicks into gear. What makes this experience so frustrating is the potential. The restaurant looks fantastic. The location is great. The ownership has a proven track record nearby. But on this visit, the food execution and service simply didn't match the reputation. Disappointed. Not the breakfast experience we expected. And in a town overflowing with outstanding breakfast options, that's a tough miss. Two stars. Try another breakfast spot. In Gatlinburg, you have plenty of excellent choices. read more

We stopped in for a late lunch. It was not busy at all, I am assuming it's busy at breakfast. The hours seem to be 7-2. The place was huge and it was rooster themed. We had the rueben and the fried green tomato blt with fries. The fries were good. The blt was mostly bread same with the rueben. Maybe breakfast is better? I'd skip for lunch unless the burger is good. read more

First time eating here. The pork belly breakfast tacos are good but I'll get the ham and cheese omelette next time. The chicken and waffles was really good. The coffee was weak and not something I'll order again. The waitress was great. They provide a military discount which is nice. read more

Same owners who own Crockett's next door own this place. It has a totally different menu, and it all sounds good. My husband & I arrived around noon, so we were in the mood for lunch type food. We opted for the signature Bloody Mary, Rueben with home fries, and Pork Belly tacos. We were pleased with our choices and would order all of them again. But, we're anxious to come back and try other things on the menu. Good food, great service, and comfy atmosphere. Note: Menu pics taken from online source. read more

Everything. Food was cold. Omelet was the strangest looking egg I've ever seen. Server barely checked on us and we were the only ones in there! read more

A great new breakfast spot in the area! There was no wait around 9am and the staff was friendly. Our waiter, Will, was very attentive and kind. I like that they serve alcoholic beverages and my mimosa was delicious! The South of The Border omelette was huge and tasty! My husband enjoyed that they serve lunch for breakfast too and he enjoyed his smash burger and fries. Definitely the place to go for great portions, no wait time, & quick service! read more

They said the wait was gonna be half hour. It was closer to an hour. Most of the breakfast crowd had already gone. Empty tables throughout, so I imagine not enough staff. After waiting about 10 minutes for the bartender to even see us while standing at the bar, we ordered one of their famous Bloody Mary's. It wasn't great and especially not for $15 a piece! Once seated, our server was not efficient. He could not multi task. Instead of bringing the coffee pot when someone asked for a straw and others wanted coffee he made two trips. This happened throughout our meal and he would also disappear in the kitchen for extended periods of time. They say their coffee is roasted and brewed for them and it's also famous. Their coffee is very weak and flavorless. Disappointing to say the least, but it was hot. When I ordered the Eggs Benedict I told the server I wanted my eggs poached easy, and also said, I like the egg yolks runny. Breakfast took about half an hour. When he delivered my breakfast there was hardly any hollandaise at all, and my eggs were poached hard! No runny yolks at all. I showed the server eggs and told him I'd asked for runny yolks and told him I wouldn't eat it like that. He said he would have it re-done.. I thought he was going to have my whole breakfast re-made so I didn't touch my plate and waited for another, and I also asked for a side of extra hollandaise sauce. He returned in about 5 minutes with two "over easy" fried eggs, and a small dish of cold hollandaise sauce. Not a new dish at all. By the time the eggs and sauce came my potatoes were cold. The ham under each egg was thin, dry, and about the size of a half of deck of cards and had no flavor. The biscuit was not light and fluffy but very heavy, dry and it wasn't toasted. He never asked how either of our breakfasts were and never checked on us again until we asked for more coffee. I ended up mixing the over easy eggs, the small pieces of ham, and hollandise, together without the biscuit. I can honestly say the worst breakfast I have ever had. The whole experience from the wait, the bloody, the coffee, the service, and the food were all disappointing and I would not return or recommend. read more

Amazing food!! Doesn't break the bank either. I had the shrimp and grits which were spot on!! My wife had the pork belly tacos which were just as amazing. Definitely recommend Over Easy Al's. read more

We visited Great Smoky National Park and wanted to grab a bite after. We settled on Over Easy Al's - very large interior, lots of seating, a bar and kitchy egg farm decor. The staff was right on top of things with fast service. The table ordered: corned beef hash - large chunks of bold corned beef was amazing (meat was a 4) but hard as a rock poached eggs, The server provided another poached egg but the yellow part must have fallen out because all I had was the white part. I wasn't going to ask for another. The breakfast sandwich with grits - a solid 4. The chicken salad croissant was ok and the Eggs Benedict was good but also had one poached egg that was absolutely over done. Asked for another one for the eggs Benedict and the second came out better. I think the cooks were in a hurry and didn't take the time to provide the proper way to poach an egg! The interior was clean and open. read more

Our favorite foods we tried were the buttermilk pancakes 10/10 and the chocolate banana waffle which was also absolutely delicious! The omelette was okay and I probably wouldn't get it again. I would have liked the cheese to be on top. The home fries were decent, but again nothing special. The menu lacks for a breakfast place. The service was good and server was attentive and friendly. For not being busy, I was surprised the food took so long to arrive. read more

Service was horrible, food was mediocre, entire experience was bad. Would not recommend.

As a local content creator here in Gatlinburg The Gatlinburg Hussey, I highly recommend going here! I absolutely love the scrambled eggs and since I'm watching my diet, they didn't use a ton of butter read more

Love this place. The service was excellent. The menu really does have something for everyone and it's mighty creative as well for those who like things like funnel cake nachos. read more

This is our first time coming to Tennessee and wanted to try a good breakfast spot. We were enjoying our food until realizing there's like lent and hair in our food.

Over Easy Al's - Pork Skillet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Gatlinburg, Tennessee

Over Easy Al's hasn't been open long, but it's a welcome addition to the breakfast scene--especially since its sister restaurant next door (Crockett's) almost always has a long wait. Our party of four was seated in about five minutes, and the servers were very attentive. Food came out fast, which was a pleasant surprise. The menu leans heavily toward breakfast with a few lunch options mixed in. The omelets were excellent, and my teenagers raved about the pancakes. I did order a Bloody Mary that fell a little short of expectations, but everything else more than made up for it. Overall, this is a great new breakfast spot, and I look forward to returning with the family. read more

Try this place! You won't regret it! I ate here 2 days in a row and had excellent service both days. The first day I was with my granddaughter. She had the chicken Caesar salad and I had an egg white omelet. She loved her salad and it was so big she could finish it. They were kind enough to make my omelet with egg whites and loaded it with bacon. I also asked for tomato and it didn't quite have enough but it was very good. I ordered the Bellini and it was honestly one of the best I've ever had. The garnish was sugared raspberries and the rim was also sugared, excellent presentation. Day 2 I came alone while the grands were still sleeping specifically to get the avocado toast. I was pretty disappointed. It was basically guacamole and slightly brown. It's not difficult to make avocado toast by cutting a fresh avocado in half and using half of it spread on the toast. I also ordered a pineapple mimosa and it was excellent. Gatlinburg needs a brunch place with quality food and specialty cocktails so I hope this place makes it. I plan to return and try the breakfast margarita! read more

Service was excellent!! Seated promptly. Waiter was excellent. Attentive during entire breakfast. Decor was bright and fun. Coffee is house made. We're told that they grind the beans and brew on site. Was a strong coffee, good for waking up in the morning. Got the Redneck Benedict. The biscuits were delicious, big slices of ham that were grilled nicely. The eggs were nicely poached. Didn't realize till finished my meal that they forgot the hollandaise sauce.... The home fries were sorta warm which was surprising as they were thoroughly cooked but just warm. Understand that they just opened but no one questioned missing sauce and how are home fries served just warm..... read more

Only other thing I wish I could've ordered was a wheelbarrow to wheel me out after I ate. Some of the best breakfast I've ever had. Pancakes are better than the actual pancake restaurants in Gatlinburg, service was phenomenal, and the atmosphere is everything you'd want in a breakfast place. If you like Cajun food, order the Shrimp Bisquet. You won't regret it the picture below is my Shrimp Bisquet after I demolished it. read more

Food and service were great. No long wait like other places. Neat Ai chicken art everywhere.

Wow! We came for spring break and have eaten at many restaurants along the Gatlinburg strip, but this was by far the BEST breakfast we have had. No wait time, breakfast cocktails, hashballs appetizer, large portions (which were sooo tasty) and a great waiter, Matt. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Very disappointed. Do not recommend. Breakfast chicken sandwich was burnt to a crisp that it was not edible. Coffee tasted like old burnt coffee grounds. The eggs were not cooked fully. And the price was not worth it. read more

Decided to try this spot out after driving by on the strip. As a long time fan of breakfast camp, I have to say that this place is just as good. The hashbrown balls were good and the queso with them was great, but you dont get many for the money. Deviled eggs were ok. Funnel cake nachos where a favorite, will be getting them again. I had the pig skillet, delicious, wife had the shrimp biscuit, it was good, she liked it. Drinks were good. Waitress was excellent, kind and knowledgeable of menu. Decor was nice and wasnt to much, easy to look around. I will be giving another try with pictures. read more

Not a good experience server forgot to put food in which i get mistakes but like didnt even keep coffee full in the meantime. Food was ok

I'm from Florida in town on vacation and this place caught my eye due to the chicken had shades. The drinks were good and the service was great. I ordered the chicken biscuit and it was banging the eggs and home fries were great as well. My girl ordered was good as well until she bit into her eggs and bit into a piece of hard plastic which was odd. Even though management handle the situation and replaced her eggs they didn't come to apologize for the incident. Have it not been for that I would have gave this place 5 stars because everything else was really on point. read more

Food was delicious with large portion sizes. Mimosas after 10 was a fun addition. No wait compared to next door and service was excellent.

The food was amazing,not over priced prices,staff were very nice.The staff made sure everything was good every 5-10 minutes,but you had to pay extra for chocolate or any type of milk which is reasonable but the price was kinda overpriced for a chocolate milk,I recommend this place if you are a picky eater! read more

Loved this place. Service was great! Everyone was friendly and the food was delicious. The atmosphere was fun and drinks were top tier.

Went for breakfast, food came out cold. It was very bland, basic frozen foods. I was not impressed, would not go back.

The food was amazing, I got the 2 egg specialty with bacon and french fries and it was so yummy and definitely bigger portions then i'm used to when it comes to breakfast. My boyfriend got a chicken biscuit with gravy over it with home style fries and 2 eggs. The chicken was crunchy and really good. Our server was ontop of the service and made sure we were all set the whole time as well. The ambiance is so cute and i love the bucket of eggs ontop of the building it's a nice touch considering the portion of eggs you get. We would 10/10 recommend to a friend. read more
