Best Lunch Restaurants in Gatlinburg

Took us on time for our reservation. The food was great. Cost was $5 more a meal then what is normal back home but this is a vacation spot. It’s to be expected

We are seafood lovers but were hesitant about that fare in the Smoky Mountains. Rave reviews convinced us to try the Chesapeake. We are so glad we did! We were greeted pleasantly and taken to a booth overlooking the river. The hostess fretted that the quieter are we had requested now had a large party. The setting of our table was lovely, but the music level was a challenge for my husband with a hearing issue. Beyond that,our meal was wonderful. The grilled oysters that we shared were delightful with the yummy bread provided. Our cocktails were brought promptly and were the perfect accompaniment to the appetizer. Our entrees were delicious - crab cakes and Chesapeake shrimp. For sides we chose the bacon and cheddar grits and Cole slaw. Both were tasty, although the grits could have been warmer. We each ordered a glass of NZ white wine with our dinners. Our server, Eliana, was pleasant and proficient. This was our favorite meal in Gatlinburg. We highly recommend The Chesapeake.

Wonderful experience at Wild Bear Tavern! We went there for dinner, and the food & service were excellent. It's definitely a must try while visiting Pigeon Forge! 

It's definitely a must if you're in the area. Good down home cooking, friendly service, and tasty cocktails. I've been here multiple times and have enjoyed every visit.

This was our second time here. The food was great, and reasonably priced. Server was jelly and attentive. Will definitely go back again.
