I was really hoping this would be a great meal. After reading so many positive reviews, especially…read moreabout the burgers, I decided to give it a try. The place was packed, which I took as a good sign. I had looked at the menu on my phone beforehand, but I didn't realize you order at the counter. I don't mind that setup at all, but I expected there to be a menu posted on the wall or on a screen while you waited in line. There wasn't. I was trying to look at the menu on my phone while also helping my special needs brother decide what he wanted. By the time we reached the register, I knew his order but still hadn't made up my mind. They did have paper menus at the register, but with a long line behind us, I didn't want to hold everyone up. I ended up ordering the Bacon Bomber with the Frytato as my side, and my brother ordered the dinner salad. We were given a number and were fortunate to find an open table. Considering how busy they were, the food came out in about 15 minutes, which was very reasonable. Everything looked great, so my expectations were pretty high. My brother said his salad had a lot of lettuce, and while it also had a generous amount of chicken, several pieces were so large that he had to go get a knife to cut them into smaller bites. I started with the Frytato. They were okay, but nothing that really stood out. They were also sitting in a lot if grease. Much more than I prefer. As for my burger, I think I simply picked the wrong one for my taste. It was a good-sized burger, so I cut it in half. I believe it was the jalapeño popper topping that didn't work for me. I usually enjoy jalapeño poppers and usually like both the cheddar and cream cheese versions, but on this burger it just wasn't a combination I cared for. The burger itself appeared to be cooked well, but the flavors just didn't come together for me. I finished half of it, but I honestly didn't really enjoy it. Would I go back? I'm not sure. It wasn't an inexpensive meal, so it's disappointing when the food doesn't hit the mark. I do think my burger choice was probably the biggest issue, but my brother wasn't especially impressed with his salad either. It just wasn't the experience I had hoped for based on all the great reviews.

We visited this location for the first time just a few minutes after they opened for the day which…read morewas a Saturday morning! We were seated immediately and our sweet waitress was quick to get our drink orders! Let me tell you everyone, this is hands down one of the best breakfasts I've ever had in Pigeon Forge! My fiancée had the steak and eggs with grits! He absolutely loved it and I tasted the grits! Some of the best I personally have ever had! I had the Forge breakfast (I think) it was 2 eggs cooked my way (over medium, perfectly cooked!) chose of meat I got bacon! Breakfast potatoes and a biscuit and gravy! I also added white toast with no butter for that delicious yolk!!! Everything was delicious! Our waitress was so attentive and friendly! The space is huge and very welcoming for a good home cooked breakfast at home feel! The place still smells like it's brand new!!! We're going to make this a tradition from now on!!!

My family and I will never cross the threshold of this establishment again simply because Sawyers…read morerules are in fact NOT family friendly. I have an 18 month old son that fell asleep in the car ride on the way to Sawyer's. The rest of my family, 5 adults and 1 four year old went ahead inside. Our waitress informed us that sawyers has a "rule" that once we have ordered, my husband would not be able to even come to the table. Whatever I ordered for him would be packed in a to-go box but he couldn't eat it in the restaurant nor at the table. He'd have ti eat it outside. They were NOT busy. Maybe 10 families at best in the restaurant. I called my husband to tell him this ridiculous rule and he said no, I'll stay in the car and he won't eat breakfast and I insisted that wake our son up and he come inside. It wouldn't be fair to him. Meanwhile, the waitress asked her manager if they could make an exception but my husband was already walking in with my 18 month old. I told her if my son starts screaming because he's tired, not one employee by Sawyers better say anything about it. She said that wouldn't be a problem. I even told her that I know it's not her rule or her fault, but this is ridiculous for families to be subjected to this type of rule. The kids menu does not offer any type of waffle and my 4 year old had her heart set on a waffle. I told her they had m&m pancakes ($6.99) and she was sold on m&m's but not the pancakes. The waitress asked my daughter if she wanted a m&m waffle instead and she could get them to put the m&m's on top but they wouldn't be cooked inside the waffle. My 4 year old was so happy, she even gave the waitress a hug. Waitress was great. Fast forward to the bill, the waffle that the waitress offered my daughter... was $9.99+.99¢ for the m&m's. I didn't say a word about it, I was so aggravated at this point with Sawyer's, it wouldn't have done any good. And once again, the waitress is following the rules. Everyone at the table all said it was a mediocre breakfast at best and we all should have went to Mama's Farmhouse for breakfast instead. Sawyers, DO BETTER. You are an eating establishment in a family friendly tourist town. BE FAMILY FRIENDLY. The rule about not being able to allow my husband join us when my cranky baby is catching a quick nap? That's the dumbest thing I have ever heard and quite offensive considering we are paying customers regardless. Now, when people ask me where to go and where to avoid in Pigeon Forge, Sawyer's will be at the top of the list to avoid.

The inside has a rustic cabin theme, but was clean and welcoming. The food was good, but nothing notable for breakfast. Basic breakfast meals that checked a box, but nothing stood out to make us run back to eat again. They do need to change their coffee! It was not good and when you go to a place for breakfast you want good coffee to go with it.

Fries were crispy and hot, and the cheese burger was filling. I really liked their brioche buns for their burgers.

No wonder they are closing but we are still sad about that. We waited for about 7 minutes for someone to approach our table! When she did, she immediately apologized took our drink order and told us to pick an appetizer on the house! Now that's how you handle that situation! And the reason for the 4 star review. We actually got the pepperoni flatbread pizza for our appetizer and I am so happy we did because it was so yummy! I was pleasantly surprised honestly! Both of us got Burgers with fries and tots which were really good too! The waitress really made our visit special after a bad start to our dinner! Hopefully we will be able to get back before they close for good! As huge music fans we enjoy the music and decorations throughout the restaurant! Come on! They have The Rev's drum kit in there!!!! We're going to miss you guys!

This place is so complicated for me; I see it both as from when I was a child going before a night…read moreat the Comedy Barn, and as my more recent experiences as a fully grown adult! As a child, it was a bit more well kept and almost majestic, but I could tell this most recent visit that the building interior and exterior could use some work. Otherwise, the live entertainment was incredible and food was exactly what I expected, and that's exactly what I needed for my nostalgia trip up to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Service was a bit spread thin and upon entering the restaurant there were no hosts to let us know where to go or wait for them; very strange entrance way. We started walking to the right of the host stand, met immediately by a gentleman running up. Servers were also stretched thin, but much friendlier! We're frequent Smoky Mountain visitors, and may be back but with all of the local and less corporatized options you reading and I have to enjoy in this glorious town and region, I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't return until we have kids.
