Tranquil hippy vibes with the sweetest staff. Very relaxed atmosphere with nothing frilly or fancy. Just simply outstanding food and customer service. It felt like having breakfast at your aunts house. We love to find quiet places off the beaten path and this little cabin restaurant exceeded our expectations. It was well located next to several quaint shops that are in easy walking distance on the Arts and Crafts Trail. read more

I don't give 5 stars to just anyone. The breakfast was fantastic, filling and hot! Eggs, delicious bacon, sausage, biscuit, sugar free jam and syrup ( for my diabetes) and the french toast was perfection. Had the pleasure of hearing a very happy staff singing in the kitchen. There is a kindness from the wait staff you don't get everyday. The pancakes are bigger than my face! They serve both breakfast and lunch all day. They are closed for dinner. A treasure! We will be back! read more

Ambiance is really the best thing about this place. Their staff was friendly. But we waited 35 minutes for our food. After watching 3 tables that ordered after us receive their food, I asked where ours was at and was told it was next. About 4-5 minutes later our food came out. Cold. Like it's been sitting for 20 minutes cold :/ if they left it on accident, they could've taken 5 minutes to remake and BLT and some French toast. Go a few feet further to Split Rail Eats, you won't regret it! Although the food came out cold, I will say the potatoes, BLT, potato salad and tavern toast were good. But they were all cold. I don't enjoy cold eggs or bacon so they were just a waste of money :/ Paying $50 for a BLT, Tavern Toast adding Eggs, getting our own drinks AND tipping 15% for them to take 35 minutes to deliver our food to us cold IMHO, isn't the characteristics of restaurant I'd promote to others. Had they stated they left it in the window too long and needed to make it fresh and we'd have to wait another 5-10, I'd be leaving a different review. We don't complain, that's why we didn't say anything at the time. We get things get busy and forgotten. Our food was definitely served cold so it was either intentionally left or forgotten. Either way, I don't ask for refunds for this reason. I share my experiences and let others decide how to vote with their wallets and choices. I'm not rude and demand to be refunded. I just don't function like that. Also no one ever asked if our food was good or we would've said something God Bless. read more

Genuinely wonderful people work here. The food was very good and service was prompt. Everything was nicely decorated and well kept. The breakfast menu didn't have many choices, but we found what worked for us. They are dog friendly on the covered patio, so don't be afraid to bring your pooch. read more

The potatoes were cold, French toast was dry, and it took forever to get our food. Good bacon and eggs. Paper plates and plastic silverware. You make your own coffee and get any condiments you may want yourself, even if you ask someone for it. They point to where you go to get it. read more

Food was excellent. My husband and I had the log toast, daughter had a tavern dog and son had shrimp and grits. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Also, everyone was so extremely nice and helpful. The place has such a cute cabin look and the walls are decorated with customers art work. Highly recommend! read more

Very friendly service. Large portions. A cozy atmosphere with free WiFi. A patio out front. Situated in a little plaza with some other businesses. Don't miss the cheesey grits. I can't put my finger on what made the sausage patties so good. Gravy was a little weak IMO (I am used to sausage gravy, and this gray gravy seemed thin to me). Nonetheless a very good breakfast I would recommend! read more

Found this place on Yelp. It had great reviews so we decided to give it a try. The food was great. I ordered the cheeseburger and house fries. The burger was cooked perfectly. Juicy and the perfect amount of condiments and cheese. Fresh, quality made to order food and great service read more

This is a great spot away from all the tourist spots for breakfast or lunch. Staff is friendly. The cook sings while he creates your amazing meal! I tried grits for the first time ever & they were fantastic. Cheesy goodness Ambiance is welcoming & makes you feel like your eating at a friends house. The French toast was amazing! Best Bacon EVER. Sausage patties & eggs were fresh & fabulous!! Biscuits & gravy will be what I get when we come back. That was delicious as well. So glad we found this place! Thank you for a wonderful meal to start our day. Best unsweetened tea read more

Nice hole in the wall place. Great ambiance and decent menu. Food wasn't anything great but hearty and cooked to order. Only drawback was a long wait time for food. read more

The workers were so nice and friendly. Loved the atmosphere. The breakfast menu was small. I think they need to go back to the drawing board in the breakfast potatoes. The other items were good. I think it was the cook singing every word to every song. I loved the music and thought he had a great voice. read more

Wow what a little hidden gem. Got to love Fresh tomatoes and Shrimp and grits!!! Chefs kiss

Absolutely loved this place!! Pet friendly, delicious breakfast and friendly staff!! Would return! Wonderful location, peaceful ambiance! read more

Best food we had on our trip! It was so good we came back again within the week. The shrimp and grits were AMAZING! The service was great as well! read more

We had a lovely time sitting outside on the patio. The staff were so friendly and the food was delicious! We would go back again and again.

We went for breakfast on a Wednesday morning around 9:30. We were the only ones there, and the service and food were amazing. It was scratch cooking at its best, and we enjoyed singing along with the music and the chef singing as he cooks. It's a small dining area with great ambiance. Highly recommend. read more

Best grits I have ever had. The shrimp and grits was amazing. Love the location as it is away from the busyness of downtown Gatlinburg. Can sit on the porch and enjoy the outdoors and amazing food! Owners are kind and welcoming. read more

Food Honestly mediocre. While the grits tasted fine--the restaurant signage boasts three kinds of gourmet cheeses--there was a certain lack of polish when it came to the essentials: biscuits, eggs, bacon, home fries. I'll try to provide constructive feedback with my review, because a lot of the "misses" can be rectified easily with some minor changes: The bacon was unfortunately floppy and overly salty/cured. I recommend buying a better cut of meat, and trying the oven-baked method where you can fry up a large batch in short time, while still maintaining a crispy, crunchy exterior. Please do not store the bacon in chafing dishes--that's what's likely causing them to go limp over time... Over-medium eggs were fine. You can't really "mess up" an egg. It was seasoned with pepper and salt. The biscuits were a bit on the cakey side, and I couldn't really tell if they were homemade or bought out of a can. This is opposed to fluffy, buttery and delicious. Again, nothing spectacular, but nothing I would go out of my way to get. There are tons of really amazing biscuit recipes in the wild...some of them are even served up in Los Angeles, where we are from. The gravy on the biscuits and gravy was...very bland. Lacked sausage and flavor. My wife had the pancakes, sausage and home fries/potatoes. The pancakes were fine--pretty big and good with butter and syrup. I agree with a previous review about the potatoes...they "looked" old likely because they were sitting out for a bit, or were prepared ahead of time and quickly heated up. The potatoes were a bit bland and on the mushy side...there are so many ways to make a potato crispy, flavorful and delicious while at the same time serving up portions ahead of time. Service The staff were wonderful--very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere in the kitchen and the service counter was warm and jovial, with people singing country tunes in the back. Ambiance Think "mom & pop shop meets country religious decor". A good amount of seating on the outside, but the inside was a bit cramped, with the counter, decorations and line of patrons taking up a good deal of space. I'm an atheist, but the religious flare wasn't "in your face" compared to other local establishments. I felt welcome like any other patron. A word to the wise: if you need to use the restroom, the keys are hung on the right-hand side of the door, attached to two kid's sized flip flops. read more

Wow!! Fabulous place for breakfast - a little pricey but the staff were very friendly. The cook sings while he makes breakfast! The cabin was very eclectic- so much to look at! read more

Food-I'm a big eater and the coal miner breakfast hit me good. My lady had two eggs scrambled and flapjacks which come with a choice of meat. They have vegetarian sausage that even my carnivorous self enjoyed. Service-Very lovely and welcoming people. Was even checked on constantly with us on the patio. We were never forgotten. Ambiance-great environment. Had a great view, to go with our great food. Inside has a family friendly atmosphere welcome if all people. Not flooded with your typical Gatlinburg traffic and log waiting lines. Sadly found this on our way out. We will definitely be returning soon! Thank you all! read more

This cute little cafe is by far the best place to eat breakfast and we've tried a lot of different places to eat. The bacon and sausage is a must try. The service is amazing with friendly folks. Will definitely be back. read more

This place is really close to where we were staying and the ratings were high on here so we gave it a try. Walking in, the whole place was decorated with art and had friendly staff working at the counter. We were very hungry and hoping it would hit the spot. Unfortunately the food was not good. I have the pancake breakfast and the pancakes and bacon were fine but my potatoes weren't cooked all the way. They were supposed to be breakfast potatoes and I was hoping for roasted but they were just sliced russet potatoes that looked old. They werent well seasoned either. My partner did not enjoy his food, barely eating his eggs and didn't touch the potatoes. Maybe the good reviews were for lunch? Breakfast is not good here. It's too bad because there aren't many breakfast options around this area. We might be better off making breakfast at our cabin next time. read more

Timbers Log Cabin - Seating area - Sandwiches Near Me - Gatlinburg, Tennessee

Went there on a Saturday just before noon alone after dropping my son to warm up for a soccer game. Place was not busy yet. Hostess welcome and nice. Decor relaxing. Inside and outside seating area. I suggest the outside seating area. Menu offers many burgers and some sandwiches options plus breakfast options. Prices average for this area. I got the blue streak burger because I like blue cheese. I got it without bacon and subbed provolone for Jack cheese. I did not pay attention that had hot sauce in description but over was not too hot. The beef and bun high quality. I did not get much blue cheese flavor. The home potatoes are actually cut and boiled and not fried. I did like them has some black pepper and salt. Overall good experience. I plan to return with the family next time I am in town. read more

A hidden gem!!! We were a party of 7 and half ordered breakfast and the other half ordered burgers. No flash frozen stuff here. All of the food was fresh and served fresh out the kitchen. Old country favorite songs were playing and sounded like the cook knew all the words. Very personal service and small homey atmosphere. The pancakes were very large and amazing along with the fresh hamburgers. read more

Came here for brunch while on vacation. Yelp brought us to this adorable Mom & Pop shop. We knew as soon as walked in because it was packed. Parking out front but limited seating. It's counter service but the waitress was nice enough to seat us. She was upfront from the beginning that it was busy and the wait might be long because they operate on two cooks in the kitchen. We were okay with waiting since we're on vacation (yes!!). We got 2 coffees (legit for black coffee). I got the Log Cabin Flapjacks with bacon, easy over eggs and cheese grits (definitely good southern home cooking). The cook was singing the whole time while he was cooking so we were able to be serenaded while we waited. My friend got the Morning Scramblers. He really enjoyed his too. While we were waiting we got to color (they put all the art on their wall) and it was fun to let time pass by. We had such an enjoyable experience and will definitely come back for more!! read more

Do not do online ordering through Yelp / Grubhub. We were really looking forward to getting breakfast here, but unfortunately we never got our order. We received confirmation the restaurant received our order. My husband went to pick up the order during the time frame it was scheduled to be ready and the restaurant staff told him they had no order for us and never heard of Yelp. He mentioned this person was also very rude and did not offer to help in any way. I'm not sure if the problem was on the end of the restaurant or Yelp/Grubhub. I contacted Grubhub and they immediately canceled the order and sent us a refund. The one star review is for the attitude of the staff since I'm not able to rate the food. *** the owner replied to my review noting that they DO NOT accept online orders. I hope this saves someone else from aggravation in the future. I appreciate the owner's reply but the information would have been very helpful to know ahead of time. Update the notes. As for the staff, why not take a negative experience and turn it into a positive. She could have easily said something like, "I'm sorry for the mix up. What did you want to order? Let us make it right now for you while you wait." read more

Great place for breakfast or lunch. It's just like sitting in someone's kitchen/dining room. It's small, the cooks sing away while cooking, the food is great and so are the prices. If you're tired of the overpriced restaurants in town, definitely try this Cute place. We had breakfast but I'm definitely going back for the chili! read more

I read the reviews, but thought I'd try it anyway. If you want grits that you can cut like a loaf and are so salty your southern mama can't eat them, it's the place for you. The bacon has some kind of bbq rub on it and is spongy. They have signs warning about the color. The place is not traditional southern food. It has a twist, but I can't say it's a twist I want to experience. My daughter liked her hot dog. read more

Amazing! Great food, great service! Always a must when visiting Gatlinburg. All food cooked to order. If you are looking for frozen fast food, this is not your spot. read more

When you are on the Gatlinburg artist trail, this restaurant is a great place for lunch. We had shrimp And grits - delicious with 3 cheeses, chili dog with great potato salad and a veggie burger with cole slaw. The food is very good here, the only problem is that they don't have the facilities to crank out the food at a fast pace. One guy is cooking at a residential stove in the back. He does a good job, just could use some equipment and another cook to help him. All that said, cool your jets, order your food and when it's done you'll enjoy it! read more

Very friendly folks but food was far from edible. Funky smells and over all tastes off m. Bacon was black like it was burned but texture was chewy. The 3 cheese grits had sliced processed cheese and only 1 kind. Long story short We left hungry read more
