    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.

    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.

    I got a frozen strawberry lemonade ($10) it was good for drinking in the heat, but didn't feel worth it for the cost.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    THIS is THE dessert in Gatlinburg! Not a box "waffle " mix but a legit Belgium waffle made from dough! Do yourself a favor and get one! All fresh ingredients and supplied from France and Belgium.

    I ordered the Creamy French Hot Chocolate Float. It was nothing more than cocoa with ice cream on top and looked NOTHING like the advertised photo. Major $8 disappointment!

    Service is excellent Ambiance is it's really designed to grab and go Food is good. Good flavor sweet topping The lady making your will sing Christmas songs.

    Oh La La (without any nuts)

    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.

    La Classic

    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!

    Carmel ,whipped cream ,vanilla ice-cream, waffle.

    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 !!!

The wait is worth it if you get there before 8 am. The omelettes had a lot of filling and were very good. The buckwheat pancake while thin had a really nice texture. The pot roast eggs Benedict was good but the biscuit is so thick and soft and the meat is soft that it would be better with an English muffin for a texture factor. Place is cute log cabin vibes and very busy.

    The restaurant is a fun place to eat. It is clean and has large portions at a decent price…read more The hostess staff is not the most friendly and openly complained about customers--thinking we didn't speak their language. I understand. People are frustrating--especially on vacation. But, if you are irritated, do not assume that you won't be understood. I speak 3 languages well and understand more. The wait was awful, but to be expected. And our waitress was helpful and friendly--though not super attentive. She was busy, though, not lazy. The food was decent. Not earth shattering. Bottom line...if you want BIG food. And you have 1.5 hours to wait for food...it is a great tourist spot. The biscuits were light and fluffy. The cinnamon roll bread is well done...but the flavor was tame and the glaze was not good. My son loved the Aretha Frankenstein pancakes. However, if you want good food, there has to be a better spot.

From the moment the apple fritters and apple butter hit the table, we knew we were in for something special, they really set the tone for what turned out to be a great meal.

Her tone, attitude, and the way she spoke to me made me feel uncomfortable the entire time. It felt like we were a burden just for being there. I ended up completely losing my appetite because of how mean and cold Marsha was, and I actually left the table crying over it. (I work in healthcare so I have thick skin). Going out to eat is supposed to be enjoyable, not something that leaves you feeling embarrassed and humiliated. I understand everyone can have bad days, but there's no reason to treat customers with that level of disrespect. I was asking a simple question of getting an order to go and about the lunch. I really hope management takes customer service more seriously because no one should leave a restaurant crying and feeling the way I did.
