We were greeted with an enthusiastic host named Jay. We jokingly asked him if we could be seated in the Cadillac. He was swift to check and was able to offer it to us, as it had just become available. He is the perfect person to welcome customers, as he sets the tone for the visit. Later on, we could see him dancing to the diner music, which was delightful to view the joy that he projected. Our waitress, Miranda, was wonderful and attentive. She even offered to take our picture. I had the meatloaf meal, and it was delicious. read more

This is a 50's themed diner which has a very unique aesthetic to it. There are replica impalas made into table booths seating 4 comfortably, old style root beer floats accompanied by other 50's set pieces. I'm from New York visiting with family from North Carolina and staying in Tennessee for the week and we've been dying to try this diner but every time we go, the line is out the door. After we left Dollywood today, we decided to try again(there were eight of us) and there was still a bit of a wait but we waited. It was well worth the wait. I got "The Jukebox Burger" and if you finish it, you get a special surprise and when you order the burger you get a complimentary quarter for the jukebox. Well, our waitress, Mimoza was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly friendly, get our order perfect to a T and is just overall a genuinely nice woman. I would recommend this diner to anyone and everyone visiting. read more

Lovedd the vibes and atmosphere! It really gave diner vines with the old, classic booths, music, and decoration. The food was decently priced considering that it is a high tourist spot and I ordered the patty melt. The food was pretty good, but my patty melt did feel a little dry, which was solved with ketchup so that was fine. I also ordered a milkshake, which I am glad to have tried to really dig into the diner feel, but I would recommend sharing with a friend because it was huge. The employees are super nice! We had a mistake on our order where the wrong side was given and they let us keep it! They were also really nice with accomidating our dietary restrictions and when giving recommendations. read more

Walking into Sunliner Diner truly feels like stepping back in time. From the moment you walk in, you're transported straight into a 1950's diner experience, full of nostalgic details and classic American diner vibes. Thankfully, we were greeted and seated right away--which was perfect because we were pretty hungry after our drive to Pigeon Forge (hence the lack of food photos!). To start, we ordered the Cookies & Cream milkshakes, and they were outstanding. They were thick, creamy, and honestly big enough to share. For our entrees we both went with burgers. I chose the Classic Burger, which was the perfect size and came with a generous portion of fries. The food was great and exactly what you hope for when visiting a classic diner. What really stood out the most, though, was the atmosphere. The attention to detail throughout the restaurant is impressive. The menu is designed like a 1958 newspaper, filled with fun facts from that time period. The servers are dressed in 1950's attire, and the vintage cars placed inside the diner are absolutely stunning and tie the whole theme together perfectly. Overall, this was a really fun and different dining experience. If you're in Pigeon Forge and want something unique with great food and an amazing retro vibe, Sunliner Diner is definitely worth a visit. read more

This restaurant was absolutely amazing. Parking was hard on a Saturday morning. We had about a 15 minute wait with 6 people. I loved the old school atmosphere. There were two old school classic cars that doubled as tables and a little toy shop at the front of the store. Our server was the best, I cannot remember his name but he was a gem! Started with a wonderful cranberry mimosa! I had a very good corned beef hash with egg plate. But the beauty in the plate was in that classic biscuit. I made sure I had two because the biscuits looked fluffy and well baked. It was the highlight of my meal and the best biscuit I've ever had in my life. It was fresh, hot, light, and fluffy. I cannot wait to go back to Pigeon Forge and dine here again! read more

One of a few open after 9 in Pigeon Forge. There was a small wait but there is a shop to check out with cute stuff. The place is a total diner and has car tables that have to be asked for or reserved. Once seated we were amazed at the milkshakes ordered by our neighboring tables. They looked delicious and are handspun. I ordered breakfast, eggs were done right, hashbrowns had a good crisp, the ham was a thick, the Belgian waffle had a good flavor. My friend got a burger, she said it needed salt, it wasn't going to win any awards but still yummy. Service was good. Chad was attentive and answered all of our questions. I wouldn't run back to go there but after 9 it would be where ylI would go. read more

This was a "must eat" place on my wife's list as we planned our trip. At first glance it was exactly what we expected, 50's cars, waiters and waitresses dressed as such from the skirts to the hats, and the desserts that looked exceedingly over the top! There was a wait as we had 6 people (1 hour which went pretty quickly as no tables were left dirty. They were very prompt with the cleaning to get the guests a table.) While you wait there is a gift shop inside to ease the wait time as well. Note: there is a separate wait for the 2 car tables so you can request those as you sign in. The food itself was filling, our waitress Harley seemed to be upbeat and cheerful, not to mention informative. She helped fulfill our experience and made sure it was a rememberable one for our 4 kids. SUCCESS as they talked about the Diner all week even after we came home claiming it was their favorite! The entrees are relative to most diners and they were delicious. But the big topic is the desserts, definitely worth a trip just for the dessert. From the presentation to the taste of the last bite if you can eat it all was like no other! read more

This is the most adordable places we've been to in a while Robbie was the most attentive and charismatic to. The buffalo chicken sandwich looked like 2 whole pieces of chicken. It was enormous! She has a whole other meal with the left overs lol. We have one vegetarian and she said the beyond Burger was really good. (I didn't try that one ). I sampled the girls' milkshakes and they were delish! If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely be back, and hopefully Robbie will still be there! I didn't take enough pics because we were starving after a long day, but trust me, it was all good! Oh! And the atmosphere! We actually tried this place because we saw it on an Instagram video! It is adorable!! The girls thought all the unique finds in the front, the music, and the cars everywhere were the coolest! read more

Mm This felt like South Carolina I like it there. Wanna be full? The ambiance was amazing, Some would say "fun". Don't get the jukebox burger When you get it they basically ring a bell and tell people your a big back. This is how it goes: *cow bell rings Server:" can I have your attention! Stop your chewing and talking (insert name here) is getting the jukebox burger!" That's it. Very cool Would recommend Food had a heart and oragans. CAUSE IT WAS ALIVE. There weren't actual organs in the food don't worry. It's a metaphor. eat here. read more

Love the atmosphere of this place! It's definitely like a step back in time! Our waiter was super friendly and attentive. He met all of our needs! The food was fresh and delicious! Shakes are a great consistency and size. The fried pickles are some of the best I have had and they come with homemade ranch which makes them even better! A shrimp omelette is a one of a kind item I haven't seen on any other menus and I give it a 10/10! (I ordered mine without cheese.) read more

Never been here at all. Went to Pigeon Forge for a family vacation and stopped here on Monday, March 1st, and was very impressed. Walked in and was in awe! Very nostalgic old-school dinner vibes with everything being straight up from the 1950s. Loved it so much! The menu was just overwhelming with so much to choose from. Mia, our waiter, was the nicest waiter we had. So kind and checked on us plenty of times! I got the Bee Gees breakfast combo and it was really good. Definitely would come back. read more

Retro Vibes & Avocado Toast? Yes, Please! Walking into this 50s diner feels like stepping onto a movie set--chrome leather stools, checkered floors, and even classic collector cars parked out front. The atmosphere is fun, nostalgic, and full of charm. The newspaper menu is a perfect mix of old-school favorites and modern touches. I was pleasantly surprised to find avocado toast on the all-day breakfast menu--and it was delicious. Fresh, sliced avocado on toast, topped with a sprinkle of seasoning and a perfectly poached egg. A healthy twist in a sea of pancakes and milkshakes! The service was warm and upbeat, and the staff really lean into the retro vibe (our waitress even wore a soda jerk hat!). Whether you're in the mood for eggs and hash browns, a milkshake, or something lighter like avocado toast, this spot has you covered. It's a unique blend of classic Americana and today's brunch cravings--definitely worth the visit. read more

Waitress was ok. The restaurant itself is super cute and the gift shop is nice. Overall, food was pretty good - not amazing. It's diner food. I enjoyed my western omelette. Bigger issue with the food was that our order of Chicken & Waffles Benedict was supposed to come with poached eggs, but we got these vinegary, rubbery, hard boiled eggs without the shell (way overcooked). The customer experience representative Erin noticed the issue, came to us, and retrieved the manager to try and rectify the situation. Manager came over, agreed that the eggs were basically hard boiled, and when we declined a remake, he said the meal would be comped. Got the check a little while later... It wasn't comped. Disappointing experience, but could have been worse, I suppose. read more

I would give this place 3.5 stars if I could. It's super fun and has a great ambiance and atmosphere. It's really large and really loud. There are some car booths that are fun if you get seated in them also. They even have merch. Their menus are old timey newspapers which are super cute. They don't have a million options for food but they have some sandwiches, burgers, pasta and breakfast. Everyone liked their food-nothing to shout to the stars about but it was all good. We ordered fettuccini Alfredo with steak, strawberry pancake (with strawberries in the batter), meat lovers omelette, and avocado burger. They were pretty good portions too. The servers honestly seemed like they hate their life but I guess I can't blame them. It's crazy loud and there are a million people there but I didn't see one smiling or laughing server or worker and they weren't particularly friendly (not rude though). All in all it's a fun little stop to grab some grub and let off some steam and go back in time. read more

What a cute restaurant. I loved the vibe and atmosphere here taking it back to the 1950's. They stay on theme here for everything including the newspaper style menus, the staff uniforms, the jukebox music and so on. I ordered the chicken and waffle Benedict and it was delicious. It could have been a little warmer but that I still cleared my plate. The chicken was super juicy and flavorful, the waffle soft and the eggs were well poached. My aunts both ordered classic cheeseburgers. One with fries and one with onion rings. Again, the food was only lukewarm but it was overall good. They did say the burgers were a little on the salty side. I'm so glad we left the waitlist at a popular restaurant down the street and came here instead. The banana splits and milkshakes looked absolutely amazing but unfortunately I didn't bring my Lactaid lol and we had a long day ahead of us. If you're looking for a cute restaurant, that will transport you back in time check this place out. read more

My friends and I had a great experience at this diner today. They were able to sit us quickly despite there being 20 of us. The service was efficient and the food was served quickly. Because of the location, I thought we would have to wait hours to get sat but thankfully it didn't take long. Our servers were sweet and did their best to make sure we had a good experience. I would definitely be back to try more items from their menu! The food we had all tasted fresh and it's amazing seeing them serve those beautiful drinks! Mimosas also tasted fresh and with high quality orange juice. I definitely recommend this restaurant if you're in the area and want a fun, tasty experience! I would recommend for them to add an espresso machine. read more

When we first walked in, the two women responsible for seating guests simply looked at me without greeting us. I had to walk up and initiate the interaction myself. That initially threw me off, but I was still excited to give the place a try. While we were waiting for our food, I noticed employees behind us touching each other and flirting. At the bar, our server was huddled together with four other employees having conversations instead of attending to guests. Each time we needed our server, he only came over after I stared in that direction. This happened every single time. As a guest, I should not be aware of personal relationships between staff members. Those interactions should be kept professional and off the floor. read more

This place is always on point for food and desserts! Very cool 50's vibe with fun and engaging wait staff to go along. We had a server named Robbie who was super attentive, fast with refills and the order. You can't beat the burgers and fries here. This time we popped in for desserts. My husband enjoyed the cheesecake, and my sundae was absolutely divine! The ingredients were high quality...just like the atmosphere and server we had that night. When you read the menu and see "cake" it's not just cake. It's a freaking skyscraper of a cake... three times taller than a normal piece of cake! Definitely will try that on our next trip into town. read more

Friendly waiter, cool decor, interesting newspaper menu, and very fast service in terms of when I ordered and when the food hit the table (less than 10mins). The pasta and chicken were both fantastic. Could arguably be better than any pasta I've had even at legit Italian restaurants. The breadstick was very soft and everything about this meal was cooked well. The salad was just that, nothing except exceptional, but it tasted as it should which is a good thing! Was contemplating a milkshake, but it's crazy that they're $10+ for a single shake. read more

Don't be fooled by the kitschy vibe. My friend and I had a waitress that just ignored us completely! We tried to order dessert from her on three separate occasions, and each time she just turned around and walked away from the table. Never bringing us the food or even acknowledging the order. She was slow to come to the table. Initially, we had to wait a very long time to order our initial meal. By the time our meals arrived, our glasses were almost completely empty. She brought us one glass of Diet Coke, put it in between the two of us. She then said that she noticed that we both needed a refill, but instead brought ONE glass, and we should "figure it out"! There were tables of people who came in before us, had eaten, and left, and we were still just sitting there. I had to flag down another waiter, to ask if we could just pay and leave. To which point he suggested, I speak to a manager, because he knew who the problem was. This was already 2 hrs in! When this waitress heard we wanted to speak with a manager, she then came over to our table to insult us, and blame us for her poor service. She said she could not do her job because the two of us seem to be "having a conversation". Despite the fact that I pointed out, we were there on a casual vacation, they were times were looking at our phones to check reservations, and every time she approached the table, we immediately stopped and paid attention to our server. Nope... she doubled down. She repeated no less than 20 times that everything that happened was our fault. Even her bringing one glass to the table. She was trying to intercept us before the manager got there, have us pay our bill, and leave before he could talk to us. But that didn't happen.. Instead, the manager did get to our table. He listened to our issues, even said that she was never supposed to approach our table like that after we asked for him. 99.9% of the time I will never speak to a supervisor. I didn't even ask for one in this situation. Another waiter is the one who suggested we speak with the manager, and went to get him. Obviously, this is a problem, employee, and everybody seems to know it. We wasted 2 1/2 hours for what should've been a quick lunch, and missed one of our Vacation events. I would avoid this place at all costs! read more

Great theme & great food for the most part. 50's authentic! HH & I enjoyed the fried Green Tomatoes apps , yummy and so fresh. Sunliner Burger was just what the hubby (HH) desired.... He was a happy happy guy. I had the triple grilled cheese sandwich with a side of Mac & Cheese. The grilled cheese was a failure, barely any cheese even though it advertised 3 cheeses. More bread than cheese isn't my idea of a grilled cheese sandwich. The Mac & Cheese was pretty dry and it felt like it was the bottom of the pan. Maybe because we got there after the dinner rush. The cakes looked fantastic. The servers were good. One server had an adorable 50's dress of which she said she has a lot! read more

This is absolutely, 100% the best diner, by far, that I have ever been to in my life and I say that with certainty and confidence.

This place was wonderful! We went with a family of 6 on a Tuesday evening after visiting Dollywood. We were sat immediately! The atmosphere is absolutely adorable! It gave 50's diner vibes with the jukebox, classic cars, diner tables and booths, etc. They serve breakfast all day as well so you can choose from breakfast or lunch/dinner items which I personally love! Their chocolate milkshake was amazing! You basically got 2 for the price of 1 with how much was left over in the mixing glass. The burgers were delicious! Fries and onion rings were spot on! I would definately go back! read more
