Came here for vacation and chose this place where it had many gluten free options. They were very knowledgeable and can even go over the menu with you. Nice atmosphere and good food! You can tell the owner and staff care for the quality of their food. Our server was very kind as well.
This place is wonderful! I was looking for a place with GF options, and I had many! The GF pancakes are very good. I was worried at first, because the menu states that they are for the "gluten sensitive" but my waiter assured me that they are cooked on a separate surface and there would be no cross contamination. Delicious! My daughter is not GF and she says her food was amazing too. Definitely come for the pancakes, GF or not.
Helpful hint: you can park right in front of the restaurant until 9 am every day!
Finally, I would be totally remiss if I did not mention that my waiter was possibly the nicest waiter I've ever had in my life. I'm not sure which is better - the food or the service! It was the perfect vacation breakfast.
wow! excellent food, large portions, pork ribs, pulled pork, sandwiches, fries, coleslaw. Owner cook is very careful and knowledgeable about gluten free and dairy. Just ask about ingredients. Very pleasent staff. Wish we lived closer. But we will definitely make this a routine stop when in Gatlinburg.
The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because they put croutons in a salad that was supposed to be gluten-free, but the server and manager both responded awesomely, apologized, and had the salad remade really quickly. The food was absolutely amazing and the atmosphere was really enjoyable. The rosemary infused bread was so good and the crab cakes were the best we've tasted!

What an incredible restaurant. We really enjoyed our dinner and were thankful they were open late since we came in after exploring the Smokies.
I loved to watch him crack open my whole lobster to get the meat out for me.
Lots of gluten free options. Fresh seafood. Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend.
5 stars for sure! Food was delicious, the venue is super cute, and Jody our waitress was very friendly and attentive. We loved her kind and welcoming service. The food was delicious! We both got the ribs and they were very helpful with having gluten free options.
Pleasantly surprised by this spot! Stopped in for dinner on the last day of our trip, wish we came here sooner!
As someone with food allergies, this restaurant was the absolute best at handling it the whole time I've been down here. They had an allergy card written out and stapled to our order, and they were able to tell me what options were and were not safe. Also, no additional charge for gluten free wrap!
They handle allergies well, have really good food and good portions, all for completely reasonable prices (~$15 a person for a full dinner meal).
Super good! There was a really nice waitress. She's one of those sweet southern ladies that make you wish you could live in Tennessee. They also had Gluten-free options. Kinda limited though. I wish the barbecue sauce was Gluten-free.
My husband and I went to two different restaurants before finding this gem. We both got burgers. Mine was on the gluten-free bun so if you’re concerned, and you are gluten intolerant, this was probably one of the best buns I have ever had. And the burgers are very good. If you sit out on the deck, it’s a nice view of the street. We were here during the weekend of Rod Run, So we got to see some pretty cool cars while we were eating our lunch. I highly recommend this place.
This is a typical 5 guys, great if your not celiac. My wife and I are celiac, while traveling this is a typical safe place to eat fries. We had to watch very carefully as we almost had contaminated food. This location is in the heart of Gatlinburg,a very busy location.
Absolutely wonderful. Our waiter was fantastic. He made sure that I was well taken care of whilst being gluten free & vegetarian. I was able to get the beyond burger -no secret sauce- with a gluten free bun and delicious mashed potatoes. Extremely happy. Everyone’s food was delicious & we had a great time.
Absolutely fabulous restaurant with romantic vibes and delicious food. Enjoyed ourselves from start to finish and loved the gluten-free accommodations provided. The spoon bread and lemon sorbet were excellent additions to the dinner. My duck was cooked perfectly with a divine layer of cheddar grits underneath. Can't wait to visit again!
Very nice snack, but the service, attention, and commitment of the wait staff are incredible! A 10 out of 10 for the waiters Sebastian and Thales were very attentive and we are very happy with that!!!! We also really liked the gluten free option!!!! Great job Sebastian!!!!!
We had an incredible experience at The Melting Pot in Gatlinburg, thanks to our server, Dylan. His professionalism and gentle, polite demeanor set the perfect tone for our evening. Dylan timed each check-in perfectly and went above and beyond by accommodating my wife’s gluten-free needs. He even surprised us with a “Congratulations, Lovebirds” chocolate-decorated plate, making our celebration even more special. Dylan also guided us through the menu with helpful recommendations, which made our meal truly memorable. Highly recommend asking for Dylan if you’re looking for an exceptional dining experience!
Staff was very friendly and accommodating. They were super informative about the menu and what was gluten friendly so that my wife would be able to enjoy her meal without worrying about what was in her food. They have plenty of options for pizza and the wait wasn't too long. We got a gluten-free Philly cheese steak pizza! Will definitely reccomend anyone who comes to Gatlinburg to make a stop here for some delicious food!!
Great food and wonderful service. I have a severe gluten allergy and they accommodate well. They asked the severity and wrote it on the ticket along with the reaction I get and a note for them to change gloves when handling my food. The marinated chicken was tender and flavorful. It was amazing. Would definitely go here again.
We brought two of our granddaughters here. They split the butterflied trout dinner instead of a kids meal and loved it! My husband and I both got the parmasean trout (gluten free!). Everything was delicious and the service was perfect! Highly recommended!
Came here because it was the only other place that had Gluten Free items besides a pizza joint. I ordered the Gf enchilada plate and it was great, I did not get sick! The food also came out very fast.
I believe you have to order it Gf because I was served black beans instead of the normal pinto refried beans.
Beware of the tortilla chips, the waiter told me that they are fried with other items.
Nice family-friendly place to eat.
Leslie is top-notch wait and bar staff.
Highly rated on her Long Island Ice Tea.
The food is absolutely wonderful.
Gluten-free options are great! (Meatballs!!!!)
Near Edge of town.
I was spending the day in Gatlinburg with some family and we were looking for somewhere good to grab a bit to eat.
The Burg was great the bar was inviting and warm and the atmosphere was very relaxing; especially compared to the hustle and bustle of the Gatlinburg streets.
We each ordered various items from the expansive menu and were able to sample the diverse offerings of the salad bar.
My brother ordered the Smoked Manhattan, which he enjoyed thoroughly.
Allergy friendly menu to include Gluten Free options. Would absolutely recommend to friends and family.
I ordered two large gluten free pizza's. One pizza was extra cheese, jalapeños, & pepperonis. One pizza was ham extra cheese, & onions. Our bill was $68.20. I about died but was starving & wore out so got em. The crust was so thin & overcooked so bad the edges felt like they would break our teeth out. Neither pizza was very good. So got ripped off at this place. I went by others reviews & was very disappointed. Others dining inside were complaining about their stuff being burnt.
Such a wonderful find! We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor seating on the creek. The food was amazing and the service was great. The Gluten Free pizza was one of the best I've ever had. Amazing experience! We will be back, just sad we didn't find it on our many previous trips to Gatlinburg.
Mary Beth is the best! Sat down to tell us about gluten free options which can sometimes be difficult when we are traveling! Fun staff lively atmosphere and great food. We will definitely be back
10/17/2023 came back again a year later and it’s still so amazing. The chips are always fresh, the salsa and queso are so good. My food was fresh and not greasy, I got a fajita taco salad with no shell (gluten free allergy) and it was so good. I will say I think there prices when up by a lot which was sad but it was still so good. The kids chicken tenders are delicious also and the fries dipped in queso are so good!!
We love this place and make it a priority to walk here as it’s at the end of the Gatlinburg strip. It’s way better than any Mexican sit down we have ever had!!
Awesome off the strip dining, and everything was 100% on point. Interesting flavors, extremely fresh food, excellent service, and when I say everything was perfect, i am not exaggerating. It can be tough to find healthy meals in this area. This place is as nutritious as it is tasty, with vegetarian and gluten-free options as well. Hate to make it too crowded but they deserve success for the quality they are serving up! This was my fourth time here and hopefully many more. I would love to see it become a permanent and well-loved Gatlinburg restaurant!
Exceptional service, it was my birthday and my wife treated me here. She is gluten free and the chef prepared a delicious gluten free crust for her. They also had a delicious selection of both savory and sweet pizzas.
Wonderful experience!
The staff at this restaurant went above and beyond to accommodate our gluten intolerance and other allergies. The manager/chef personally ensured that we knew which dishes were safe for us to order and even brought them directly to our table to confirm. This was our second visit in a short period of time and we are very likely to return again before we leave.
