Aside from the wait time, this place was great. Granted, it was the week of Thanksgiving, so the wait time was expected. The food was great, large portions and came out in a timely fashion. The service was top-notch and the pricing was fair, great value. The place is a little kitschy, but that's by design. Fun place, great food, excellent service and can recommend this to anyone. read more

I have ate here on multiple occasions now- food is your typical breakfast food (eggs, meat, pancakes, etc). The restaurant was clean and staff was friendly/hard working. The wait time was awesome! We walked right in so I can't complain about that- not sure if we got lucky or if that is the norm? It is off the main drag so I imagine not as busy as some of the other options. They seem to offer a breakfast buffet but couldn't find the pricing on the menu and the waitress never mentioned it so we got entrees. I stuck with eggs, potatoes, bacon, toast, and gravy. It was simple and filled me up. read more

The service was ok, and the decorations were nice but when we were seated we waited a while, which wasn't exactly nice. The food sounded good at first, I got strawberry pancakes thinking they were sticking the strawberry's in the pancake batter but they stuck about 3 on top and called that a strawberry pancake. I know pancakes are usually dry but I don't think I'd recommend them. The French toast sounded good though. read more

Came here for breakfast while on vacation because it was close to our cabin and on the way to Pigeon Forge. My daughter had the kids pancake and my son and I had the bananas foster French toast. Took longer than expected to get the food. Food was pretty good, but nothing out of the ordinary. I've had BF French toast a lot better at other places, but not saying this was bad, just not great. read more

Came in for supper, and left quite satisfied.. the catfish was really good, the fried chicken was very good except for a mild spice bite in the batter. Otherwise I would definitely recommend this place! read more

We had the breakfast bar. It had some hit or miss items and being the son of a restaurant owner some of the items were funny to me. Deep fried French Toast sticks from the freezer. Fried Apples from the can. Pre- portioned frozen biscuits reheated. Gravy from a can. Scrambled eggs Grits Bacon Sausage links Pancakes Edible but processed. Was 50.00 with tip for 2 adults and 2 kids so not a great value. The service was fast and friendly. read more

Loved this place. Easy to get in and out of and a nice stop on the way to Cades Cove. The Wears Valley area has breath taking view of the mountains. About the food, it was awesome. I originally asked for plain pancakes but I stopped my waitress and asked if I could add chocolate chips. Ended up getting them and I don't think I was charged! I left a good tip though. The pancakes were huge, glad i didn't get 4. Will for sure be back. read more

Service was super friendly and the relaxed ambiance was very enjoyable. Food was great and the portions were very generous

Delicious food. Stopped in for breakfast on a Sunday and we were quickly seated and our waitress was fantastic. She told us they would be open for dinner that night, so we actually came back. The catfish was amazing! Lightly breaded and perfectly seasoned. The coleslaw was creamy with just enough sweetness. The restaurant was clean and just about a perfect combination of kitschy and pleasant. Definitely recommend if you're in Wears Valley. read more

I had the bananas foster French toast as my meal and it was amazing. The French toast was cooked fresh and had a nice crust with a gooey inside it was perfect. The thick cut bacon was also very flavorful. The restaurant itself is capable of handling many large parties at once and has a very roomy interior. All of the staff were happy and very helpful. Especially our server Amanda, I am not sure how she is so happy and awake at 8:00 in the morning, but I'm glad she was there to take care of us. Highly recommend Hillbilly's Restaurant and Amanda as your server read more

Our group of 10 adults and 4 kids were actually trying to eat at the place next door, but they were closed- fortunately! Hillbilly's was 15 minutes from closing, but graciously allowed us to come in and have dinner!! They have the most delicious catfish I've ever eaten; the meatloaf was huge and tasty. Our waitress was attentive and very personable. They have a truck that you pin money to, and then they donate it to a charity. Great folks, fantastic food- don't let the name deter you- Hillbilly's is the best! read more

Great food! Fast friendly service! Beautiful Wears Valley! What isn't there to love about this place!

The service was amazing and the food came out quickly. The workers are also very friendly and accommodating. Their banana french toast is AWSOME! read more

"Upscale Hillbilly" would be my description of the category. Food selections seemed unusually adventurous, the decor was pretty impressive, and the food quality was good, though not great. Service was spot-on. The seating area and parking lot were reasonably spacious, as you might expect from a joint called Hillbilly's, I guess they know their market. The HVAC system seemed to working beautifully, and other infrastructural elements are good quality, so you know they're on top of their game. So the next time I'm nearby, I'm likely to return, though I don't give off the hillbilly vibe in my Prius. read more

Came here during my wife and my anniversary trip. Food was fantastic, awesome service, friendly staff, and the decor was pretty cool! Loved that we could leave a dollar on the truck inside with our names on it! Will definitely come back next time we are up that way!! read more

ALL POSSIBLE STARS. I drove 5000 miles across the South. One of my goals was to get unpretetious but amazing food. My southerner friend and I shared a chicken fried steak, corned beef hash, sweet potato pancakes, french toast, grits, home fries, coffee and tea, and more delicious things. Too much food for two people, but many leftovers and the bill was less than a tank of gas. As a food snob, this place gets my full endorseent. Envornment is just perfect also. If you are hurry, don't be. Let them serve great food with a big dose of happiness. Grade A with many plusses. A++++++ read more

Hostess and server were super nice. Had a bit of a wait for breakfast but totally worth it. Big portions of food. Everything tasted amazing. Food was hot and fresh. The chef cooked my eggs absolutely perfectly. This has only happened maybe twice in my entire life before eating out for breakfast. (I'm 37 years old). Will definitely return. read more

amacing food and really nice waiters. also the inside was really cool looking and the food came out to us very fast. 10/10 would recommend.

Ate here twice during our recent visit and staff was friendly and food arrived fairly promptly. Typical country style restaurant and a good option for breakfast or lunch. Breakfast served all day. Sausage gravy was just ok; needs more sausage in it and sausage patties were very processed tasting. read more

Excellent service, even when busy. Most buffets are adequate at best, hillbilly's was fantastic. The country fried steak was delicious. A+ read more

Friendly staff. Food is traditional. Word of warning the pancakes are huge. Great atmosphere. read more

Great food but terrible coffee. I bring my own from home. Get coffee next door and take it in with you.

What a find on our way to cades cove! Love this place! Our server was so sweet. The food was great. I had a burger and fries. My husband had the breakfast Sammich and home fries. The folks there are warm and welcoming. If we're ever in the area again we are definitely stopping in. read more

Best down home breakfast in the area. Such a hidden gem in Wears Valley away from the chaos of PF. We always have breakfast here when we visit, highly recommend and you won't leave hungry. Don't pass up the biscuits they serve when you're first seated, they're delicious! read more

Great place for a good hot country breakfast. Service was great and food was good. Steak and eggs cooked just right. Country fried steak and eggs also very good. Great flapjacks. read more

BEWARE!!! Not the best buffet in the county Maybe in the valley, wears valley that is, since it's the only one. If you are a fan of continental breakfast at a hotel, this is the place for you. Powder eggs, baked bacon, sausage from the freezer, etc..... just keep driving another 8 miles into pigeon forge if you want breakfast. FYI, you will also enjoy a "Technology Fee" depending on your balance to cover their credit card fee. read more

Food is great and quick coming out once you're seated. The host is quite unfriendly especially to larger groups. We were told they don't take large parties (we go every year with the same party) and it would be an hour and 45 minute wait. After 15 minutes we were called and upon seating there were empty tables everywhere and it was obvious she just didn't want to seat us. When we sat down there still wasn't enough room in the booth so we asked for a chair and were told no. After the interaction with the host, the waiter was very friendly and fast and the food was fresh and hot. Sad one rude host can ruin an experience. read more

YES YES YEEEEESSSSS!!!! BOMBBBB breakfast here at Hillbilly's!! Everything about this menu is DELISH! My family and I have tried SOOO many spots for breakfast in all of Gaitlinburg/Sevierville/Pigeon Forge and this is DEFINITELY TOP 2! Service is AMAZING- super friendly and Kind but DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE FOOD- starting off with the darn glazed biscuit thingies whatever you call them- I call them DARN GOOD!!! I had to play Rock Paper Scissors to get the biggest piece in between my family and I's 4 pieces! the PANCAKES‼‼SOOOOO YUMMMM!! We tried the homemade strawberry syrup- which is a 372910/10 SOO GOOD- as well as the Sweet Potato pancakes French Toast is COOKED TO PERFECTION as well as everything else. It's the first breakfast place EVER IN MY LIFE that my mom hasn't sent back her eggs because they cooked them PERFECTLY!! AMAZING place. Would recommend over any other place you could stop by!!! read more

Stopped in for breakfast. Food was average but our server was awesome - despite the restaurant being packed and having lots of tables to take care of, he was friendly and kept our coffee filled. He was the highlight to an otherwise unremarkable meal. read more

Food was delicious! Very good prices and huge portions. Wendy was our server she was awesome and sweet!

Mediocre at best. Buffet was not worth the $11.50 but if you like powdered eggs and cheap breakfast food then this is the place for you! Staff was good and attentive. read more

My pancakes were really dry and I had to take a sip of water with every bite to get it down. I couldn't afford to send it back since we had already waited 30+ minutes after ordering. Not to mention, I did not order chocolate chips yet they had chocolate chips in them. Overall, a cute breakfast place but will not be back. read more

A small wait for a busy morning on a saturday since they are understaffed i believe but once we got seated we got attended to quickly. Small but a nice environment. The buffet didn't have much options but it wasn't too bad. I got the banana french toast and i'd honestly give that a 9/10. it's one of the best french toasts i've had, didn't need syrup, and came with the end of a banana which was hilarious to me. the ham was a bit burnt but still delicious. the area is so beautiful, shops around so you're not bored while waiting. overall was a good experience and a good breakfast restaurant to visit if you're in the area. read more

Looks much bigger outside than it is inside. Took a long time for the food to be brought to the table but the food was fresh,hot and delicious. Loved the classic country music played in the background We will definitely go back. read more

The reason we went here was because of the truck, I was really excited to sign a dollar bill and put it on the truck. I ordered 2 strawberry pancakes with ham, the ham reminded me of christmas spiral ham, but my pancakes were soggy and the strawberries weren't fresh cut, it was like small strawberries and jam. When I mentioned it to the waiter, she didn't say anything. The truck was cool, but if you're going to order a pancake, don't get it with the add-on fruit. read more

Food was just ok. They struggled to keep the Buffett stocked and I spent most of my time waiting for food to be restocked as they was a mad rush anytime the filled a slot. Coffee refills were equally hard to get and The menus are a tattered mess. read more

Great food and service! Plus the decor is super fun. Make sure you bring a dollar bill.

Hillbilly's is now serving dinner and has the best homemade grilled meatloaf ever! If you like the crispy edges of homemade meatloaf, you will love this. It is sliced and grilled so that all sides have that crispy edge taste. Delicious ! The other dinner items sounded good as well. Always love this place for breakfast but will definitely be back for dinner when in the valley. Great service from our server Jessie who was attentive and very friendly. Don't pass it by if you're near Wears Valley! read more

Our waitress was working super hard, but we waited nearly an hour for two cheeseburgers. Food was just "okay."
