Bacon, sausage and ham  omelet
Christy D.

We come to Pigeon Forge quite often and never visit the numerous pancake houses. We always go somewhere else. This time we decided to stop and stopped at the first one on the left as your leaving Gatlinburg driving into Pigeon Forge. It's not as big as some of the ones I've seen but don't let that stop you from trying this Gem! Upon arrival everything was decorated so cute for Christmas. The staff were all so nice and chatty. I ordered a omelette with bacon, sausage and ham ( protein ya know ) and it was perfectly cooked. No crispy edges and I had grits and they were delicious. My husband got the corned beef hash and it was so so good and was crispy. Everything was cooked perfectly and they give you your own carafe of coffee . I did get 2 plain pancakes for me and my husband to try and they were so fluffy and the syrup served warm. Definitely don't pass this Gem. I can't wait to go back !

Came here for the pineapple upside down pancakes. They didn't disappoint. However, the bacon was a greasy floppy mess even though I ordered it extra crispy. The coffee was strong and the eggs were okay. The service was good, and the atmosphere was pretty good. We waited probably 15 mins for a table, which wasn't terrible. Overall, it was a decent meal.

Pancakes

Great service, great food and not too overcrowded. The staff was extremely friendly and smiled all throughout our service. We enjoyed being able to get in and seated quickly. Food was amazing. All of my family members were pleased and raved about their food. Even my picky 5 year old. I had be sausage patties cabin breakfast. It came with 2 pan sausages, 2 pancakes eggs. Don't skip out on this place, bypass the others, you won't regret.

veggie egg white omelette
Sydney C.

our server was absolutely amazing. she was super sweet and very helpful! i ordered this veggie omelette but asked for egg whites and added a side of bacon (the meal couldn't be subbed for bacon over the hash browns so i got both and just didn't eat the hash browns.) the omelette was great but needed hot sauce which our waitress was very kind to bring for me. the bacon was crispy and had a very nice flavor. i was satisfied with the clean restaurant as well, and would definitely come back!

Jessica made our first visit to the Smokys absolutely memorable. It's not every day you meet such a friendly and down to earth server. She truly went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and even took the time to chat with us. The restaurant itself has a cozy, farm style atmosphere, and the menu is straightforward. Jessica recommended the pineapple cakes, and they were fantastic! I was really impressed by these warm, fluffy, and decadent cakes, packed with flavor and not overly sweet. They're definitely a must try if you're stopping by for breakfast. Everything else we ordered was great too, including the turkey patties and a single biscuit. The coffee was also good, just your classic diner style brew. But again, the real highlights were our waitress, Jessica, and the delicious pineapple cakes.

Food quality / price (value) rating 6. The atmosphere is open cafeteria style. I had the plain buttermilk pancakes with a side of bacon. The pancakes were practically inedible and served with rock hard butter - pretty much useless. The bacon was very low quality and served cold. The wife had a veggie omelet with hash browns. The onelet was okay she said, but the hash browns were served cold.

Strawberry pancakes
Joanne R.

Food was good and service was great. Our waitress was nice. We had a big group and the food was served fast.

Blueberry lemon pancakes
Atnier R.

Place was meh-looking, like a random boring diner with booths. Service was markedly slow and we were just three people. The blueberry lemon pancake was very good and pretty big. The big bear breakfast platter I had was ho-hum. The scrambled eggs were not good and the grits were bland. The casserole and biscuit were pretty good. The bacon was overdone, crispy and tasteless. There's a million pancake houses in this area, but looks like we chose a somewhat disappointing one. At least the pancake had a flavorful combination so it didn't besmirch their inclusion in the restaurant's name.

Big Bear Breakfast
Andrew N.

The place was very busy and they said there was a wait but the wait was less than 5 mins. Our server was Tony and he was very good at his job and friendly. The food was good for a pancake house my banana nut pancakes were good and delicious. Like I said the pancake house was crazy busy and tables close together that it could be a bit much so the ambiance was kinda loud. Overall good food but not great, our server was great and the restaurant is busy.

Strawberry cheese cake pancakes
Bc B.

Good breakfast place with really nice servers and good food. I definitely suggest this place to anyone in the area, we had strawberry cheesecake pancakes which were amazing.

Side of hash browns

I saw the health inspection score is 94. I'm not sure why. It was very clean. My utensils was even warm. The menu was high. The the sides and add ons was a little pricy. The quantity was good. I got the Western omelette with hash browns. My husband got the Cheesecake custard pancakes with blueberries and cream cheese and a side of hashbrowns. My omelette was quite thick, but not runny. So that's good. The hash browns were not as crispy than I expected. My husband loved his pancakes. The waitress was not attentive. I loved the bathroom sink. It has a design like the old days.

Our selection with the family!

They literally have every fast food and chain dining experience on one block, but I didn't know that at the time but I'm tired of road trip Food so wanted to sit down for a good meal! Pulling into the parking lot and I was overwhelmed because it was huge and very crowded! We go to the desk and they tell us 25 minutes. This place was huge and very accommodating, they were getting people to their tables fast! We noticed two empty seats at the bar, so we opted to take them and had the pleasure of being served by Robert. He was attentive, made sure our waters were always full. He gave recommendations on his favorite dishes and was all around a great bartender! The guy working the other end of the bar was equally as professional. The ambience is a dark cool vibe, little trendy but people were dressed pretty casually! Answer the most important thing...The food! For an app, we got the beer, cheese fondue that came with apples, bread and pretzels. The beer cheese had a little bit of ooomph to it, which was refreshing because usually I'm not a big mustard person. The pretzel bites were incredible crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The apples were fresh all around the appetizer for 3 to 4 people so we took extra home. I ordered the 10 ounce sirloin cooked, medium with the web sweet potatoes and a side Caesar salad for a three dollar charge which ended up being a full-size salad! It was super fresh and gigantic for a side salad. The steak was cooked perfectly, in the middle with an insane sear. Their house, butter that they put on it truly elevated the flavor profile. I tried the sweet potatoes mashed and they were enjoyable, but I do not enjoy a sweet side with my food so I knew I was going to donate them to my husband and he said they were incredible, the flavor was definitely there just not my cup of tea, but I knew that from the beginning . He got the Caesar salad with grilled chicken! It had so much flavor and tastes incredible but yet melted in your mouth it was the most tender chicken I've ever had in my life, and the flavor was all there! Not even the slightest bit of any kind of dryness. One of the best bites of chicken I've ever had.! He ordered the bison meatloaf to go, and that comes with caramelized mashed potatoes and fried onion straws.... It smells incredible and I will update when we try it . * UPDATE: best meatloaf ever!!! Based on the quality/ experience on a very busy night- everything was phenomenal and I will return. Service 10/5 Food 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Value 5/5

Great little place off the busy parkway. My wife and I walked down for dinner (okay, she walked, I…read morerolled). Great Chicken Salad Sandwich and Cher's Salad. Oh, I hate limp, doggy fries, but these were super crispy just like I like 'em...so extra points for that small detail. I usually comment on the wheelchair accessibility of places I review. The FBT wasn't huge, and one might have a bit of difficulty navigating. BUT, the hostess was shap as a tack and seated us in a nice nook where the chair fit with no problem. So I loved that, naturally. I have had some try to seat me in an area where no wheelchair could fit. That was appreciated. Speaking of sharp staff, our server, Brianna, was just super friendly from the get-go, and made us feel right at home. Our order was out to us in a jiff. I recommend highly. I may have to go back for a t-shirt . ( Oh, and check out the homemade ice cream place next door.). Incidentally, as we were leaving to walk back to our hotel, a fierce storm blew up sending us to take shelter under the portico of the near-by LeCinte Center. So...a romantic little mini adventure.

They taste greatz kinda like small mozzarella stick nuggets. We ordered four plate: grilled cheese, plain cheeseburger, buffalo chicken sandwich, and B.E.L.T. (bacon egg, lettuce, tomato). Fries all the way around. They were well-cooked crinkle fries, and well seasoned too. I had the B.E.L.T. which was great. In fact, all of the food was ideal and fresh. Between the flawless, quick food, and cleanliness, and the service I am missing nothing. Kylie was super nice and always there when we needed her. Overall, this place is a winner. Simple menu, all-day breakfast, and convenient location. Definitely worth checking out.

My absolute favorite is the strawberry jelly. It was SO good that I had to bring some home--and yes, they sell it by the jar! From the delicious Southern food to the family-style serving and that amazing strawberry jelly, Mama's Farmhouse was definitely one of our favorite meals of the trip.

They serve 3 different main dishes daily. You get what they serve.....no additional options are available. Today (Tuesday) was Salisbury steak, fried fish and fried chicken. They chicken was good, Salisbury steak a little overcooked and dry and the fish was decent. Unfortunately, I came with a large party and I was the only one who are the fish. For the 4 side dishes, we ordered the chicken and dumplings, mac & cheese, hush puppies and mashed potatoes. The sides were actually better than the mains. The ambulance is very casual and it's a family friendly atmosphere. Restaurant is clean and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. Our waiter, Kyle, was very patient and an excellent server. Overall, I wasn't too impressed with the main courses but the sides made up for them somewhat. I would say the food was 2 - 2.5 stars but the staff was 5 stars. So I'll have to go with a 3.5 star total review.

The entire property feels like a destination worth taking the time to explore. I loved the relaxed, old-fashioned atmosphere. There's something wonderfully nostalgic about visiting a place centered around apples, cider, country shops, and Smoky Mountain hospitality. Give yourself time to wander because there is more to see here than you might expect. For me, places like this are part of what makes traveling memorable. The big attractions may get most of the attention around Pigeon Forge and Sevierville, but I also love finding stops with their own personality and sense of place. The Apple Barn definitely has both. It's a great addition to a Smoky Mountains itinerary, especially if you enjoy discovering local flavors, browsing for something unique to take home, or simply finding an interesting place away from the area's larger attractions. I also found plenty of charming details that caught my photographer's eye, which always makes a stop even more enjoyable for me. Definitely worth allowing some extra time for this one rather than treating it as a quick stop. I'd gladly return the next time my travels bring me back to the Smokies!

Some attractions sell an experience…read more Some sell a product. The Apple Barn Cider Mill somehow manages to do both. What started as a simple stop turned into one of the more enjoyable experiences of our trip. The star of the visit was our guide, who took us on a cider journey through the various flavors and offerings. She was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what she was doing. She answered questions, explained the differences between the ciders, and made the tasting experience fun instead of feeling like a sales pitch. And since there's a chance she might somehow see this review: Happy 40th Birthday! Sorry I forgot your name, but your hospitality certainly wasn't forgettable. Now let's talk about the cider. Excellent. There was a large variety of flavors available to sample, making it easy to compare styles and find a favorite. Whether you're new to cider or consider yourself a seasoned enthusiast, there's enough variety here to keep things interesting. After sampling our way through the lineup, we wound up purchasing a glass of the original apple cider and enjoyed it outside. And honestly, that's where the experience really came together. Sitting outside with a fresh cider in hand, playing cornhole and Jenga, enjoying the atmosphere, and slowing down for a little while made for a genuinely relaxing afternoon. No rushing. No crowds pushing you along. Just good cider and good company. We also picked up a growler to bring back to the hotel because one thing became very clear during the tasting process: leaving empty-handed would have been a mistake. The Apple Barn Cider Mill does a great job creating an experience that's welcoming, fun, and memorable without feeling overly commercialized. Great cider. Great staff. Great atmosphere. Five stars. And judging by the growler currently waiting back at the hotel, I'm already looking forward to my next visit.
