Wow!! I wish they did breakfast like this on the West Coast!…read more Five Oaks Farm Kitchen is not only an amazing restaurant, but the food, atmosphere, and staff are incredible. We arrived with a party of 13, which can be a challenge for any restaurant, but they handled our group wonderfully. Our food came out fresh, warm, and extremely tasty. Everything had that homemade, comfort-food quality you hope to find when visiting Tennessee. Our service was provided by Rob, who did a great job taking care of our large group and making sure everyone had what they needed. The decor is an experience all by itself. It's warm and welcoming, yet mesmerizing when you take in the size of the restaurant and all the incredible details throughout. It really adds to the whole Southern farmhouse experience. If you're visiting Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, Five Oaks Farm Kitchen should definitely be on your list. Great food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommended!!

Before you head out, go to the website and get on the waitlist. Then be sure to check in as soon…read moreas you get there. Otherwise, you many have a very long wait. Also, there are only a handful of free parking spaces so your best bet is to use the free trolley or just pay for parking. Also, you have to wait outside, so keep that in mind if it's cold out! The pancakes are delicious and perfectly cooked throughout despite being extra thick. They are fluffy and very fairly priced. Biscuit and gravy was also a great choice. Gravy was creamy and smooth with a hearty biscuit. Biscuit breakfast sandwich was also top notch, with perfect egg and sausage and Biscuit. We ordered a cinnamon roll to go, and while we really liked the super smooth and light icing, we all felt the roll itself was pretty dry and bland (we ate it about 10 minutes after receiving it). That was the only dissapointing piece. Food was served very quickly, impressively so. Service was friendly, but the server only came by to take order and see if we wanted anything else before the check. A very friendly gentleman in a white chef type outfit delivered the food to the table. Restaurant was clean and large with a nice selection of reasonably priced options. We would definitely go here again.

I was in Hot Springs for a couple of days on section hike of the Appalachian Trail. I stopped in to…read moreeat 3 different meals there over the course of three days. Day 1: Lunch. Another hiker and I decided to stop in as we got to town and have a late lunch. It had been a couple of days since we'd had town food and we were tired and hungry. The first thing I noticed was the wait to be seated. We waited about 20 minutes, and once we got to the dining area, there were several empty tables. Once we're seated and ordered, the food came out timely and was delicious. I had a cheeseburger and the cherry cobbler with ice cream. Day 2: Breakfast. Since the food was good, we decided to go back for breakfast again the next day. Again, there was a wait to be seated. We were a group of 5 so we expected there might be a wait. The waitress was friendly and our orders were placed quickly. it did take a while for the food to come out from the kitchen. I had a country breakfast plate with ham. Again the food was delicious. Day 3: Supper. We had a relatively short wait to be seated this time. We were seated and asked for some water. It took over 20 minutes to get the water. Finally a different waitress came out and took our order. I ordered the hungry hiker challenge. It is a cheeseburger with three 8-ounce burger patties on it. The menu says if you finish you get some free cobbler. While we were waiting for our food we noticed that a local who came in and sat down after we were seated had already been served and was done eating before our food arrived. I finished the burger, and some of the other patron's noticed and congratulated me. When the waitress arrived she asked if we needed anything else. I asked if the free cobbler came with ice cream on it. She said no, so I ordered ice cream to go with my cobbler. It was a peach that day. Again, the food was delicious. The main thing that I notice about the restaurant was that despite having great food, service was pretty slow. One of the hikers I ate with noticed that the waitresses seemed to have to seat the customers, take the orders, deliver the food, clean the tables, and handle the check-out at the end of the meals. It seems like the service would have been much quicker if they had someone handling the seating, check-out's, and possibly bussing and cleaning tables. The worst part of the experience was the long waits to be seated and for the food to come out. The food itself was great and I found the servers and other customers to be friendly. The furnishings were clean with a 1960's diner feel. Overall, I would hesitate to go back if I were in a hurry of any kind. If time is no object, the food is great.

I ordered the chicken sandwich with a side of potato salad, while my wife got the egg breakfast with a biscuit. The chicken sandwich was generous--two full chicken breasts piled on fresh bread with good seasoning and flavor. The potato salad had a nice homemade taste that rounded out the meal. My wife's egg breakfast came with a huge, warm biscuit that was impressively fluffy and satisfying after hours on the road. Service was friendly and the place had that welcoming small-town diner vibe. The portions were definitely hearty, which worked well for travelers.

I guess there are two buildings - a restaurant and an order window. I was waiting in line at the…read moreorder window just to order coffee and fries to go. The first thing the lady at the register said was "are you going to place an order?" Well yeah....... I'm standing in line to order, not just for the hell of it. So when I ordered the coffee and fries and water bottle to go, it seemed like she didn't know what the concept of "to go" was, bc she had to ask someone else multiple times about placing an order for fries, and they also seemed confused when the order was made and they were just walking around with the items, asking this large group of people and not even bothering to come to where I was, until the group pointed them to my direction. Anyhow, the fries are unsalted. Tasteless. And the cold foam that the person at the register said would be on the coffee wasn't even there. I was ordering for my pregnant sister and seems like they can't even get a simple order right. They lack an organized system to keep track of who orders what. They don't take names down, they don't have numbers to give out, they don't have an area for people waiting on their items who just want to grab and go. This is unfortunate for what could be such a cute spot that's right by the water. You'd think they'd be more efficient with their customer service.

With every entree you get a salad, corn chowder, corn fritters, mashed potatoes, green beans, and a dessert. Not to mention the entrees are huge. I ordered grilled chicken because I was getting tired of fried chicken, and of course they give you two chicken breasts, not one lol. Service was extremely fast. There was a wait when we got there, but it was fine and we went to the old mill store and I bought some flour to make corn bread and white bread. You put your name on a list and they call you in over the intercom that you can hear from outside. Wait was about 30 minutes.

Breakfast is the highlight, with hearty plates of omelets, hashbrowns, and biscuits with gravy that taste just right. On weekends they even put out a breakfast bar, and those little mini biscuits brushed with sweet cinnamon butter are worth the trip alone. The dining room has its own personality too, complete with a truck parked inside that somehow feels fun rather than gimmicky. Service is warm and easygoing, adding to the laid-back atmosphere. When I visited, I grabbed a chai latte from the coffee shop next door since they don't serve specialty drinks here, and nobody batted an eye. That kind of neighborly vibe sums up the place perfectly. It is casual, filling, and just a little quirky in the best way. If you are nearby and craving a solid breakfast before or after a country drive, it is absolutely worth stopping in.

There was no sausage in the sausage biscuits and gravy. I mean no sausage there were a little specs in the gravy. The ham steak was good but it was extremely salty. The biscuits were amazing.

The young African-American lady in the front. I don't know her name who is the hostess was absolutely delightful. The breakfast buffet was not the best either. They had French toast sticks that you buy at the grocery store as the French toast on the buffet. If they put a little bit more attention into the food, this place would be great.
