Every time we are in Gatlinburg, we have to stop here! We have been stopping here since the late 80’s! It brings back so many great memories and nostalgic feelings! The food is always cooked to perfection and delicious! You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu (well, we have only tried breakfast items). It is like a well oiled machine. Even if there is a line out the door, it moves quickly. Servers are always quick and attentive. We love how they have a parking lot! The parking lot has saved us the last two trips by having a wheelchair. There is no issues with wheelchair accommodations there! Check it out! You won’t be disappointed!

Amazing food. 10/10. Amazing service. 10/10. The waitress was constantly checking on us, even though it’s super busy, Misty was the absolute best. She kept our drinks full and I would recommend her to anyone. We had a party of 9 and we felt very accommodated

This was our first visit here and we will definitely be back!! My husband had an omelet & said it was amazing! I had pancakes & eggs. We also ordered a seasonal fruit bowl as a side. Everything was delicious! Our waitress was friendly & attentive. Even when one of her tables was seated with a big party. Service didn’t change! We got here early and had no wait to get in. When we left the line was out the door. I understand why! The log cabin feel was nice!

The food was amazing and there was no wait! We were seated right away and within 10 minutes we already had our food on the table. The waitresses were all so kind and attentive. They refilled drinks or brought new ones when the original ones were only half empty. The inside is cozy and definitely has the perfect log cabin feel. Definitely would recommend!

Weekday at about 9:30. We had no problem getting a seat but I do know they usually have wait list. My scrambled eggs were buttery, the pancakes and hash browns were delicious. And most importantly, the bacon was crispy. Waitress was attentive and very kind. Will definitely be back.

Had the meat lovers omelette. Great food. Didn't have to wait too long, even with it being busy. Parking wasn't too bad either. Good food, good service, nice atmosphere, definitely worth stopping by.
