We stopped here for breakfast before going to the water park. We arrived around 9:15am and service was extremely slow. I understand everyone is short staffed so I won't hold that against them. The server did the best she could. The food on the other hand.... We got a ham & cheese omelet with hashbrowns and toast ($9.35). The omelet was still runny and under cooked while the hashbrowns were on the crispy side. The toast was, well, toast. The corned beef hash was over cooked and had a lot of charred bits, the fried apples were watered down and didn't taste like much. I knew they were apples but it was just blah. Over medium eggs were down properly and the pancake was large and rather delicious. This 3 item + bread plate ran ($7.75 + premium charge for the corned beef hash). The hot chocolate at $1.75 was a bit pricey for about 4oz of drink. read more

Stopped here on our way to Pigeon Forge. Food was great and plentiful. Prices were decent but as a heads up they pass on the fee to the customer if you pay by credit card. Waitress was great and the food came out quickly. read more

After reading mixed reviews, stopped here for midday food, I had breakfast, eggs, biscuits and gravy, & coffee. Everything was tasty and cooked just right. My wife and son both had burgers and thought they were excellent. Our waitress (Jade) was friendly and attentive. Overall a delightful experience. Delicious food and great service! read more

We stopped in here for dinner one night while visiting Pigeon Forge. We had the Reuben sandwich and the cheeseburger with a coke float! It was all great! The staff was great also! If you have a chance, check this place out! You won't be sorry!! read more

Overpriced and very bland. Service was nice but the food lacked seasoning and portions were not great for the price.

I wasnt sure if this was going to be another tourist trap or not, but the food and service was really good. The milkshakes we got were amazing. I got strawnana and my boyfriend got oreo. The turkey burger was also very good. The only thing that could have been better was the bathrooms weren't very clean and needs some updating, the actual restaurant was clean and upkept very well. read more

This was our second visit to The Diner and once again, we weren't disappointed. Last time, our family came for breakfast, which was very solid. This time, we came for dinner...with a group of 30 people. They handled the group well on short notice - reserved 4 tables near each other for our entire group at 7:30 on Saturday night after we called to ask if they could handle a group of this size. And then they did a really good job of handling such a large group - worked hard, served us amazingly fast for such a large group, and hustled the whole time we were there to take good care of us. And the food was again very solid - good burgers and sides and breakfast food served all day. Once again, we'll be back the next time we're in town! read more

If I could leave 0 stars I would. First, the place was disgusting. Dirty. Not a mask in site. The food was cold and realized on the way out that my to go drink had a dead fruit fly in it. Always judge a restaurant by the cleanliness of the bathroom and it was HORRIBLE. BOOT! read more

First time we ate hear, it was great. Came back for breakfast this morning and it was horrible. The test was cold, hash browns were stale, and worst of all, there were 2 black hairs on my omelet. The waitress was kind enough to take this off of our bill. The table was greasy and the condiment bottles were crusty as well. read more

Great service on a slow Sunday afternoon. Elk burger taste amazing. Cooked perfectly. Waitress made great suggestions. Chili was a bit bland. Fries were very bland. Dagwood was very good and Elk burger was very good. Best fried pickles I've ever had. read more

Rude waitresses. Slow service. Horrid smells. After waiting 35 minutes for the car top and 25 minutes for dried up hamburgers and cold fries, was not impressed with 1 single thing. Pepsi had too much syrup and not enough carbonation in it. The waitress never came back to ask if we needed anything. Not to mention the whole facility is dirty. Employee drinks and clothing items sitting everywhere near the ice cream machines. The ice cream box was wide open. Milk for milk shakes was left out the entire time we were there. Our waitress ignored us and came over to make a sundae. Made the sundae with no gloves after touching money, drink cups, her iPad, wiping her nose, etc. The women's restroom toilet was over Flowing into the floor with a horrible sewer smell. (They were well aware of the situation) The prices are premium which wouldn't be a problem if they kept a clean environment to serve food. The facility doesn't have to be brand new but it needs to be cleaned thoroughly. read more

I came here accidentally when we were at the dolly wood resort, looking for a place to get some grub. We came across it and went in and it was styled like an old diner like one you would see out of stranger things or something. it had a really nice atmosphere, and while we were waiting you could look around at old records and pictures from back then. then the food came. I ordered my self a bacon cheeseburger with American cheese ,lettuce, onion and fries on the side. the food was incredible. the fries were nailed perfectly (besides a few burnt ones). the burger was very tasty and service was overall very good. Thank you Shannon! also i came here again recently, and the hour drive was definitely worth it! read more

Amazing food and the service was equally as great! I look forward to coming back on my next trip to Tennessee. I love the fried zucchini. read more

This should really be a 3.5 * so keep this in mind. I ordered the Chef salad and it was Trump sized Huuuge! Best part was that it was fresh greens! NO iceberg! Huge leaves, fresh, grated carrot, fresh bacon crumbles, 'deli pack style' turkey and cooked ham, an entire sliced boiled egg, grated cheese, tomatoes and an entire bag of croutons. Plenty of dressing for those who enjoy, 3 sauce cups actually. I enjoy salads and the tastes of them so unless a salad needs masking I typically don't use the dressings, as was the case here. The salad was a solid 4* for a stereotypical chef salad. Now for the negative: my hubby's meatloaf. To sum it up they were instant potatoes - yuck and canned veggies next to a slab of very 'bland' meatloaf. He ate it but kept saying this would probably be a great place for a burger BUT not for dinners if this was par for the course. He 'wished we'd gone to Cracker Barrel' for his meatloaf craving, then tried the banana pudding, found it to be very fresh and creamy. The Diner is a great throwback to 50's diners and super clean and much larger than other 50's diners too. The staff was attentive and the owner even came by to say 'Hi'. All in all, I would recommend stopping for the atmosphere, interaction with the staff and probably a Burger and a shake. Hope this helps you decide. :) read more

Waiter was Matt. Super nice and very attentive. Atmosphere was so neat like you did step back in time. The food was good. It's been awhile since I had really good fries. Chicken Philly was ok. Rest of food was very good. The cornbread was amazing. Chicken pot pie was good. Got bread pudding, a banana pudding shake, and a peach cobbler to take back with us. It's cold and that's fine. It will travel well. No pics because there were so many already. read more

This was the perfect little blast from the past 1950's diner. It felt like we were stepping back in time with all the decor and the atmosphere. The food was just what we needed - some country cooking that hit the spot. I enjoyed the breakfast skillet. This place was perfect for a quick breakfast stop on the road headed home from Gatlinburg. I loved the coffee mugs! read more

Wow where does one begin because that's all the further we got. We walked in, one of the servers looked at us and frowned with sour face. While she was calculating a check at the counter she once again looked up did not acknowledge us with a look like why are you here. We looked around we saw that same look on several other servers. We continued to wait with no acknowledgment. When we asked the lady behind the register if we could sit down at one of numerous booths she said in a very unpleasant voice someone will be with you in a moment ..... if you all hate working there so much, find something else to do! There is plenty of others things you could do and still avoid customer service jobs read more

Very enjoyable breakfast. Food was good and our waitress Leslie couldn't have been nicer. Very pleasant atmosphere with spaced out seating so you don't feel as crowded as you do at Cracker Barrel. Will definitely eat there again when in the area. read more

The day we went to The Diner for lunch they were packed. We decided to eat at the counter, which ended up being a lot of fun. I usually pick to sit in a booth, but the retro vide made it easy to sit at the counter. We enjoyed watching the servers make the delicious milkshakes. I thought the poodle skirt uniforms were really cute. I also enjoyed playing the jukebox. For lunch we started out with the Crock O'Dill Spears with a side of Ranch. They were so good!! The breading was perfectly fried, so it gave a satisfying crunch when you bite into it (so good). For my main entree I had the Bacon Cheese Burger with a side of fries. I really enjoyed it. The patty was cooked perfect and they give the right amount of bacon to make the perfect bite. Jenni got the chicken tenders with fries. Since I had watched servers making milkshakes all through out my lunch I had to have one. They have several different flavors, but I chose the classic chocolate. It was perfect!! We shared it and both got plenty. If you are in Sevierville or in the area you need to go enjoy a meal at The Diner. Remember this is a Diner, so service style will be different from other sit down restaurants. Watching the hustling servers and enjoying the yummy diner fare was a great experience. You need to check them out!! read more

VERY good service and good food. Good to see a place with no mask requirements. Restaurant looked clean and the food came out pretty quick. The milkshake was really good too, would definitely come back read more

Typical diner food, the staff are friendly and you get plenty of food. It's not very busy, so usually you can just walk in even on busy nights. Great option and close to the wilderness and lots of shopping. read more

Great breakfast and the milkshakes are delicious. Old 50s decor but there a couple of times the service is usually good but can be slow when very busy. read more

Now this place was a nice little find in the madness of the mountain wonderland. The simple name is fun yet to the point. The menu has a wonderful variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner. I was very surprised to see buffalo burgers as an option. Although no better or worse than most diners; we had a great time just eating and reading all the random signs and literature. Th buffalo burger was a bit greasy! But what the $^&%*&, we were at a diner after all! My cohort had some eggs, country ham and a pancake all for under $7 with coffee. They advertise that they have 30 meals under $7. The interior is all diner. Very clean and nice. The staff were nice but not over the top with kindness. We asked to split our check. The response we got was, "I have never done that here." So, some places don't adapt to the times. read more

A lot of choices, good food. The atmosphere is cute. Hand scooped ice cream, try the Doozie!

we enjoyed a delicious breakfast! The biscuits are amazing! Loved the atmosphere and kind service! Will definitely frequent this place!

Stopped in to check out the food. Ordered a chocolate malt but it had no real malt flavor. Instead it was slightly on the bitter side. Tried the hamburger and fries. Nothing special here. Fries were typical frozen fries so many restaurants serve. I could not say the burger was bad but I couldn't say it was really good either. If you want a burger and your not particular then this will be an ok place. Service was good. I liked the atmosphere and the juke box just wish the food was better and not so mediocre. read more

I would give The Diner a zero rating if it were available! Food was horrible, my husband order breakfast and it was cold. Service was bad. Our waitress took our order and someone from the kitchen brought our food to the table and we never seen our waitress again, she didn't even come back to the table to see if we needed anything. The restaurant was dirty and the restroom was dirty and didn't even have any soap in it!!! This was the first and last time that we will be there! read more

The service was great which is the only reason we give it a 3. We had the fried fish, country fried steak, mashed potatoes, slaw, spaghetti, fries, and more but none of it was all that good. We've had worse but also had MUCH better. This is one case where a national chain serves much better food than a local establishment. The hushpuppies were even raw inside - I don't mean just undercooked, they were still wet and gooey inside. I was born and raised in the south, this is not good cooking! read more

We stopped in for lunch, placed our orders,2 meals came out with no cheese, the waitress brought out , hot cheese and handed it to my son. He than dropped on himself and burned his leg.He should have not been handed anything that hot.There was no concern by staff or manager( he was not professional at all, no eye contact ) . This was not a hidden gem. More of a last resort! There are better choices! Head the other way, leave it for the locals. read more

So incredibly disappointed in this "restaurant". The lack of respect for the fact we're in a literal pandemic is disgusting. They first tried seating us between two tables that were full of people, and when I asked to be moved somewhere else because of social distancing, the waitress scoffed and rolled her eyes, she then placed us at a high top, NO ONE was wearing masks or gloves or social distancing at all. The amount of food for the price was good but that doesn't help the fact that I could have a better burger at McDonald's for half the price. The milkshakes were average. The entire wait staff was rude to us, I imagine it's because we were wearing masks and trying to social distance. Won't be eating here again. read more

We've passed this place a dozen times and always wanted to stop and eat there but never did until yesterday. The place definitely throws you back in time to when cars were sexier and hanging out at the local dinner for burger, fries and a milkshake after the local drive in movie was the highlight of the weekend. Loved the food employees were nice and the prices were good especially for the amount you get. 100% recommended. read more

I have to say I was very disappointed. With a name like theirs you would think that they would have hot, juicy burgers, great fries and onion rings especially for 12.95. NOT! Burger was ordered med. Supposed to be pink in the middle but warm. Was over cooked and dry. No sliced pickles for your burger and red onions which when bitten into were strings which you had to pull and throw in basket because they were old. If fresh I could have bitten into them. The burger had a strange flavor as did the fries and onion rings. I paid up-charge to have half fries, half onion rings. I am thinking, after seeing the very gross bathroom it was probably from old grease. Had I seen the bathroom before I ordered I would not have eaten there. I did not finish my burger or sides. I tried but could not get past the taste. Ice tea was old tasting which means they do not clean the tea container every day. I drink unsweet tea so it doesn't move as fast with all these sweet tea drinkers so it has to be made fresh every day and the container it sits in needs cleaned every day. I don't think they do. I will say the coconut cream pie was good. read more

I'm not sure I liked the food that much, but I really enjoyed the professional service. They allow dogs in their outside seating, and that's mostly the reason we chose it. For the price, they actually offer a great deal on food. Wort a try if nearby and looking for a decent diner read more

The little 50's dinner style diner caught my eye and I just had to know how did it taste. The retro style diner is so adorable and even the staff wear poodle skirts! The staff was very nice and this intensified my excitement on the food. Well, the food was subpar and underwhelming. My cheeseburger was very blend and my fries were not as cripsy like I like. The only saving grace for this place getting two stars was the vanilla milk shake I had. That was delicious! read more
