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 rustic spot serves up unique and tasty breakfast options with a warm atmosphere, perfect for a leisurely morning visit.

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.
A charming spot with a homey vibe, this family-owned gem excels in hospitality and offers delicious BBQ with personal attention to diners' needs.

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.
Charming spot with big windows and a delightful vibe, perfect for a cozy breakfast experience with unique treats and a cute gift shop.

All the workers were very kind. AMAZING FOOD! My dad struggles to find gluten free good food and if you do too then please come here. Almost the entire menu can be made gluten free!! My dad loves it! I got the crepes (not gluten free) and they were so good. My dad got gluten free pancakes and you can not tell the difference from a regular pancake it’s amazing!
Enjoy a cozy vibe with unique menu options, accommodating various dietary needs, and a fresh selection of drinks to complement your experience.

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.
Charming old building with a chill vibe and stunning mountain views, perfect for a delicious meal that everyone seems to love.

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.
Enjoy a vibrant spot with stellar service and impressive options, creating a welcoming vibe for all who visit.

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.
Expect long waits for a cozy vibe and huge portions of delicious meals; everyone raves about the pancakes and the cute coffee cups!
