I was walking down the main drag in gatlinburg and wanted some ice cream. I passed by this place and decided I'd give it a try. They had a free sample available of their cookie butter, which was absolutely delicious. The guy at the window said he just finished making a batch of caramel and gave a taste of that too and WOW! So good!! I ended up buying a jar of each cuz it was so good. It also inspired me to order a cookie butter milkshake, which was to die for. Customer service was fantastic. Absolutely worth the stop! read more

Food was delicious! We only were in town for 2 days but had them twice. They have a lot of options to choose from and two locations on the main drag in Gatlinburg. One closes around 7ish and the other closes around 9. read more

Wow, 5/5 stars - they got us when we were walking by. Just a small window and tiny sit down area. The employees were offering free samples - fresh whipped cream with toppings of cookie batter, dark chocolate, and salted caramel. Omg, it was simply but delicious! They got us hooked. They offer these toppings on coffee drinks, waffles, shakes, etc. We opted for the shake with ice cream and cookie batter. It was decadent and simply delicious. It tasted a bit like cookies and cream - it was $10 but the entire family sharing this sweet mid day treat. I would definitely recommend the cookie batter and salted caramel. read more

I really enjoyed this place but I do think it is ever so slightly overpriced. I know that the ingredients are shipped from France, but there was not nearly enough cookie butter on my waffle to my liking but the service was great and it was a cute little set-up. We also went at an interesting time of year, that being in January, so perhaps that played a factor. Two people can definitely share one waffle. read more

If you want a unique dessert, I recommend Waffle De Lys! They make their waffles to order and you can either choose toppings of your choice, or order from their menu. I have done both and was delighted by them. Their caramel, biscoff spread, and whipped cream are stellar! If you make the right choices, your dessert won't be overly sweet either, which is good. The waffle with toppings can easily feed 2-3 people as well! They have two locations on the Gatlinburg strip and are very good about offering samples of their caramel, whipped cream, and more. read more

We were passing the place and a young man asked if we wanted samples - his enthusiasm for waffles and how it's made was incredible. I didn't want a waffle originally, but he really sold me and I'm glad he did. This was the most delicious and decadent waffle dessert I've ever had. So so so good. read more

So wanted to take my granddaughter here after we tried it last year. It's amazing. Paris yummy! Forget the crazy mason shop if you want flavor and REAL food desserts this is the only place besides Maggie Mae's with real ice cream. Blue bell is flavored ice cream. Ben and Jerry's is half and half real and flavored. This waffle place is definitely a no brainer! $20 total with tip included for huge amount. So good! We had ice cream and whipped cream on our La crunchy with strawberry and banana fruit slices. The owner is for real! read more

My husband went to pick this up and bring it back. It took 20 minutes to walk back with it and it's still warm and crispy. I'm allergic to nuts so it's nice to have something from a place that took that seriously and without worrying about contamination. I took a point off because the waffle tastes a little burnt and I can't stand any foods tasting that way but that is a personal opinion, other than this is a great dessert place to try at least once (like fried Twinkies at the carnival). I'm glad we took a moment to try this town favorite. read more

Waffle De Lys - Oh La La (without any nuts) - Waffles Near Me - Gatlinburg, Tennessee

Atmosphere: Waffle de Lys is a stand that offers to-go desserts. There are some benches near the shop, but it is mostly a grab-and-go type place. Service: The server at the booth initially offered us free samples of their whipped cream. Afterwards, we waited less than 10 minutes for our waffle. Food: We ordered the La Classic waffle, which came with bananas, strawberries, and whipped cream on top of a Belgian waffle. The waffle came out hot, but we were hoping for it to be more crispy. The dessert was a decent snack in the middle of a Gatlinburg outing, but felt more like casual carnival food than a European delicacy that some people suggest. Overall: Waffle de Lys is a convenient place to fuel up with a sweet waffle in Downtown Gatlinburg. While the waffle wasn't amazing, it did its job to satisfy a sweet tooth! read more

After leaving Anakeesta's lights with my newlywed wife, we walked past this place. And the very nice lady at the window offered free samples. With that being said. The whipped cream and Carmel samples were enough to get us to "bite" (pun intended ) a waffle with those and icecream, what a home run. Thank you again !!! read more

I HAVE NO WORDS!!! Amazing Scrumptious Delicious Great Good Fantastic Ok, well maybe a couple of words It was my bday y'all and I didn't want just "cake"! We were in Gatlinburg and happened upon this quaint little place, the owner offered us samples, we were hooked right there, we still had some sightseeing to do so we told the lady we'd be back, so we stopped by in the way back to our room to pick up my bday treat, carried it all the way to room because I wanted to enjoy it sitting in my room with the Hubs, and let me tell you, it was worth it!!!!! I ate the WHOLE THING!! I didn't even take a picture of it, it was gone y'all!! Anyways.....go here,treat yourself!!! read more

Most people will stumble across this place when they're attempting to hand out free samples. Make sure to say yes because they are delicious! I decided to grab a dessert for my family on the way back and it was fantastic. I will let you know the portions are large, so after a full dinner, a family of four could easily share one serving. If you're hungry this is definitely more than enough food for you. Everyone here is extremely friendly and the service is fantastic. Highly recommend! read more

Waffle De Lys - Two peach frozen lemonades & a matcha! - Waffles Near Me - Gatlinburg, Tennessee

honestly a bit disappointed in the service. They called us over with free samples and the cookie butter was good so we decided to order. When we got to the pickup counter, they forgot about our water, didn't put the cookie butter on the La Crunchy, then continued to argue with my sister about the lack of cookie butter on her waffle until he looked at the sign which showed it was supposed to be on the dessert then added it. read more

The French imported caramel was delish! Such a yummy treat. Not your typical ice cream spot!

Came here on our recent trip to Gatlinburg. We really wanted to try waffles with ice cream. We tried the Exotic and Nutty waffles. Both were delicious and filled with so many different flavors. Would recommend coming here for sure. read more

A treat on the Gatlinburg strip! Most flavorful waffle I have ever had. The mix of textures offered make this place a real standout. My family of 6 got a few different waffles to try. My favorites were the ones where they skipped the ice cream and just did whipped cream (those got soggy). Delicious! Order at the nondescript booth and you can eat at one of the many benches along the roadside. I will be recommending this place to my friends headed to Gatlinburg! read more

I like Waffle De Lys a waffle lot! After passing by this stand a couple times in between attractions, I couldn't walk by it again without trying a waffle! The sweet smell alone will draw you in. They serve Belgian waffles made fresh to order as well as drinks like coffee, tea and hot chocolate. I'm a sucker for anything caramel, especially salted caramel, so naturally, I chose the La Caramel Bliss ($8). The waffle came with salted caramel, bananas, caramelized hazelnuts and topped with whipped cream and more caramel. One bite and oh myyy! The way the hot waffle melted the caramel and the whipped cream... Wow. Heaven on earth. Caramel bliss. Every sugar fan's dream. I split it with my son, but to be honest, I took way more bites than he did. The waffle size is shareable, but I could have easily devoured it by myself in one sitting. My friends ordered an Oh La La ($10) to share and couldn't get enough of it either. There were two people working the stand and both of them were very friendly and helpful. If I ever go back to Gatlinburg, this is the first place I'm going to! read more

In my limited experience, Gatlinburg is a logistical nightmare, and this centrally located waffle window did nothing to dissuade me of this conclusion. Rather than pay $20 for the one parking space I could find, I snuck in and out quickly. Traffic was atrocious. If you're looking for reasons to take the bypass and skip this town, there are plenty. If you're looking for reasons to stick around, this dessert delivered the level of quality I'd hoped for it, with my caramel and banana waffle covered in imported sauce that tasted like imported fine caramel. I could have ordered any number of other options or built my own. Pricey, but delicious. read more

Best desserts in Gatlinburg hands down and open late! We walked up to this late night dessert place and a charming French man handed us samples of his delicious, homemade sauces...cookie butter, caramel, Belgian chocolate...you haven't had chocolate until you've had Belgian chocolate! I've visited Belgium and it's the best. The milk shakes were rich and creamy...made with Belgian chocolate and the Belgian waffle desserts out of this world...crispy but soft & fresh Belgian waffle with a scoop of ice cream and any sauces you like topped with whipped cream...amazing! My Belgian waffle dessert was supposed to serve 2 people but needless to say, I did not share. I ate it all myself and went back for more before our trip ended! A must try if you need a sweet treat! read more

My son and I were visiting Gatlinburg for the first time when we stumbled upon Waffle de Lys, an exquisite dessert shop tucked into the bustling, southern charm of the main strip. Despite the large line and an even larger group of people waiting, the two young ladies working behind the counter remained focused, crafting each drink and sundae with care and precision. Every creation looked as beautiful as the pictures on their menu, which is no small feat! We ordered hot apple ciders and a waffle topped with ice cream, caramel, bananas, and whipped cream. I can honestly say it was one of the best desserts I've ever had--whether in this city, another country, or even another continent. We loved it so much that we had to return the next day for another sundae! This time, we were greeted by the owner, who was working alongside what I believe was her son. They kindly asked us to wait a moment before taking our order, and then the young man stepped up and explained what makes their waffles so unique. Little did he know, we were already hooked! His pride and enthusiasm were infectious, and honestly, adorable. As we waited, we had the chance to chat with the owner while she made our treats, and she was just as delightful as her creations. It's clear that this business is a true labor of love. I don't often write reviews, but Waffle de Lys is truly one of a kind. The passion and authenticity of the people behind this shop deserve to be recognized. Keep up the fantastic work, Waffle de Lys, and best wishes for continued success for your business and family! read more

Waffle De Lys - a waffle topped with ice cream and caramel - Waffles Near Me - Gatlinburg, Tennessee

The waffle and coffee was yummy! The service was great but the 3 stars go because the cost is incredibly high! This came out to $19.99. You could share this with someone, the waffle is big enough unless you're very hungry! The ambience was a simple setting. There is no seats inside from my recollection so you'll have to find something outside. If you make the waffle customized, each topping is $1 so keep that in mind when creating your own. They do have a menu with pre-made waffles so there are options to choose from and I hope you enjoy one! read more
