Rachael A.

Great food and nice set up inside. We ordered wings, cheeseburger bowl, and kids chicken sticks. Also used the beer wall and enjoyed this fun option. The service was good and the cashier was very nice. She helped give us some recommendations which ended up being good! This was a perfect lunch stop as we drove along the art shops. The location is a little strange but you can tell they made the most of it.

This was an even better experience than we had anticipated! The food was great.The onion straws are AMAZING! The tater tot bowl options are a fun different item on the menu. The tacos we are on the small side. The staff were super helpful and kind. Food came out quickly. We didn't feel rushed and felt very welcome. We did not realize it was trivia and bingo night. We loved it! The lady running song bingo and trivia did a great job! What was just gonna be dinner turned in to a fun evening activity! Note: to get in the restaurant you go into the middle area of the buildings then you will see the entrance to the restaurant!

This is such a cute little spot. It is tucked away and I was very surprised that there was an entire set of stores back with it. The service was great and what I loved about the food was there's something for everyone. From basic to super creative. There is plenty of seating both inside and outside and the self serve beer wall was a fun experience.

Wow! What a great find on Yelp! We stopped for lunch when visiting Gatlinburg. Ordering was quick at the walk up counter and the employee was very helpful. Food was very good. I had turkey Reuben with homemade chips and husband had buffalo chicken wrap with tater tots. We enjoyed our meals at this cute, cozy restaurant. Got fun lattes (Rainy Day with salted caramel and English toffee syrup and Snow Day with peppermint syrup and chocolate drizzle) to go at the conclusion of our meals.

We really enjoyed Split Rail Eats! The food was fresh, tasty, and came out quickly after ordering at the counter. The outdoor patio seating was a nice touch -- relaxed, casual, and perfect for enjoying a meal in the Smokies. The menu has a great variety with something for everyone, and the portions were just right. Friendly staff and a laid-back atmosphere made it a great stop in Gatlinburg. We'd definitely come back!

This place is attached to a lodge. Cute atmosphere, there are a few lounge areas where you can eat. You order at the counter and then they give you a number and you sit wherever you want. I ordered a Philly cheesesteak with a side order of fries, bell peppers and mushrooms were extra also. I feel like the price point wasn't worth it. The sandwich was salty and they forgot the bell peppers and mushrooms. For $4 I barely got any fries. It was a small sandwich for 20 bucks. Can't say I'd recommend this place or return. Staff was friendly though so there's that.

Just what I was looking for! Casual dining done right. The location is away from the congestion of the main strip of Gatlinburg. We had burgers and tots. The quality of the burger was legit, the tots were nice and crispy. We also did the beer/cider experience. This was really cool. You just scan a wristband and you sample one of several drinks. So many delicious beers, ciders, and cocktails. The PBJ cider was unique and delicious! 10/10. This was the perfect stop after a morning spent at the national park. I wish I could take the whole place back home with me!

Good for a quick lunch! We visited Split Rail Eats after spending the morning hiking in GSMNP, and found it moderately busy. The restaurant had a casual ambiance, and we ended up sitting in their outdoor area, which had plenty of sun and shade. We went up to order at the counter and saw an entire Fall Latte Menu of seasonal coffee drinks. I chose the Iced Autumn Glory and my friend got an Iced Nutty Pumpkin. Unfortunately, neither of these were good at all. Both drinks were super weak and tasted like we were just drinking a cup of sweetened milk. Definitely could've used another shot of espresso! For food, I got the Rodeo Burger with Cucumber Salad as a side. The burger was tasty and filling! I liked the fried onion straws and melty cheese, and the Cucumber Salad was light and refreshing. My friend ordered the Southwestern Burger with Tater Tots on the side, and said her meal was pretty good. The Tater Tots were nicely crispy. Good food overall, but I recommend skipping the coffee drinks!

Great little spot located near other shopping stores and apartments above. The decor is very nice, was there in December so it was festive,fast service and food was delicious. I highly recommend this spot. Give it a try!

Can't say enough about this place! The beer wall is a lot of fun and even has good options for those that aren't hard core beer lovers. The food was delicious- we had the cheese curds, Greek burger, pimento burger, and the fried chicken sandwich and it was all excellent!! The service was outstanding and super friendly and the vibe as a whole is just a really good time!! Decor is super cute, great sitting areas with comfortable couches and a fireplace, etc. Don't miss out on this spot! Away from the chaos of the downtown area but still easy to get to (and free parking!) read more

As I looked across the table at my husband I realized we were both nursing the last parts of our dinner (hot seoul and cheeseburger). I whispered, "are you also avoiding the last few bites because it means it's over?" He nodded in solidarity. We travel all over (I'm a travel photographer) and he has celiacs, and we usually have our dog. Dining out can be tricky. This place was hands down delightful AND delicious. They had options for the both of us that were knock your socks off good, and they gave the doggo a huge cookie and his own strong drink of water. Next time we're in the area we will be back- in the meantime stop reading my review and just GO already. And take your dog. read more

Food was amazing! Seriously so many choices and everyone in my party LOVED their food! (I got the fried chicken quesadilla and it was amazing) My dad is vegan for health reasons and a lady came out and made sure she had his order right before making it! We REALLY appreciated this attention to detail especially with his health concerns. Needless to say the service was phenomenal! The aesthetic of the restaurant was so nice and relaxing! I wish we had time to stay longer and try the drinks on tap (so many good options)! My ONLY complaint is that we almost didn't go in because it seemed sketchy when we first drove up. The gps took us to the back of the building that was connected to an apartment complex. The actual entrance is in a courtyard type area so getting to the front is a little confusing but the courtyard is cute and the outside eating area was cute too! read more

Don't second guess this one 10/10!!!! After having 2 meals in Pigeon Forge are that were not the best ... in fact they were awful we were about to eat McDonalds. Then Split Rail Eats pulled up on Yelp. Cutest place ever with the most delicious lunch. Cheeseburger tater tots: crispy tots, with hamburger crumbles that were delicious even by themselves. Chicken sandwich: crispy, juicy, flavorful, soft bun with just the right amount of Mayo. Even the side of cucumbers was delicious fresh and crunchy. Little off the beaten path but sooo darn worth it! read more

I recently visited Split Rail when in the Pigeon Forge area and this little spot outside of Gatlinburg offers some really solid food for a fair price. The location itself is very quaint with outdoor seating available as well if the weather is nice. During my visit I purchased the Philly cheesesteak with mushrooms and it was pretty good with the tater tots while the chicken sandwich was really solid with a good flavor profile. This location definitely gives one the local vibes which is a nice change from the commercialization of pigeon forge/Gatlinburg. Overall split rail is a solid place to eat when wanting to try something new and local. read more

Split Rail is absolutely phenomenal. Located at Covered Bridge in the Glades, it is a hidden gem that has a wide choice of different items that will cater for all tastes. So far, we've eaten breakfast, lunch and dinner there, and nothing has been a disappointment. The biscuits and gravy are outstanding, the SRE chicken salad sandwich is out of this world (big chunks of seared chicken ... no mush!), and the buffalo tater bowl is satisfying and full of flavor. There are no shortcuts made in the preparation of food in this fabulous little place. Everything is home made, fresh and tasty. The staff are welcoming and friendly, and the atmosphere is casual and relaxing. I honestly can't say enough good things about Split Rail Eats, and if you don't visit, you are missing out!! read more

Our food was very good, but the service was pretty slow. With all the crazy covid stuff, we figured we're all doing the best we can. I had the fish tacos - excellent. My husband had the fried chicken sandwich, which was also really good. Our kids had a ham and cheese hand pie, chicken fingers, and a fried chicken sandwich - all also all yummy. The location is on the Arts Trail, which is convenient if you're shopping the trail, but out of the way if you're in Gatlinburg. It was nice to be out of the touristy hustle of Gatlinburg, and they had outside seating. read more

It was super cute kind of modern cabin themed in what im guessing is an apartment complex/open air shopping mall. The food was great! We tried the fried cheese curds, pimento cheese, buffalo tot bowl and greek tot bowl. As a south carolina native I was a little saddened by the pimento cheese because it looked SO yummy on the website, the naan was different and the cheese was oddly sweet to me. Regardless, TRY IT. The food was great, the staff was great, the location wasn't super far from anything. AND you get to see the art trail in Gatlinburg. read more

In fact, we walked about a mile from our hotel specifically to come here because we remembered it from a previous trip. That's a pretty strong endorsement considering there are approximately 7,000 places in Gatlinburg willing to sell you coffee, fudge, pancakes, taffy, or some combination of all four. Tucked away inside The Village, Coffee & Company has that hidden gem feel that makes you wonder how many people walk right past it without realizing what's waiting inside. The coffee itself is solid. One thing I appreciated was the balance. Too many coffee shops seem to believe that foam should either completely dominate the drink or be absent altogether. Here, the ratio of coffee to froth was right where it should be, allowing the coffee itself to remain the star of the show. I ordered a flavored coffee, and while I wasn't completely in love with the particular caramel syrup they use, that's more personal preference than criticism. Coffee flavors are a bit like pizza toppings... ask ten people and you'll get twelve opinions. The drink was still enjoyable and well made. The staff deserves credit as well. Friendly, efficient, and quick without making the experience feel rushed. They seemed genuinely happy to be there, which isn't always guaranteed when dealing with tourists before they've had their caffeine. What I like most about Coffee & Company is that it knows exactly what it is. It's not trying to be a trendy coffee laboratory where your drink arrives after a 15-minute explanation of bean origins and atmospheric conditions during harvest season. It's simply a really good coffee shop serving really good coffee in a charming location. Would I walk a mile for it? Absolutely. Would I walk five miles? Let's not get carried away. Four stars. A hidden gem that's worth seeking out, especially if you're wandering through The Village Shops and need a quality cup of coffee to fuel your next round of Gatlinburg adventures.

Stopped here after googling coffee shops in Gatlinburg. I will admit--this wasn't at all what I was…read moreexpecting it to be. I expected a typical coffee shop like you'd find in a city or like a Starbucks inside. It was a very tiny little place. Only a couple of chairs but really no place to sit and study or do anything like that. It did have unique features and knickknacks though. I was ordering my coffee to go anyway so I was not bothered by lack of seating. But definitely wouldn't be a place to go to try to get some work or studying done. They had soo many flavor options for their coffee along with quite a few specials. I ordered a sugar cookie latte. It was delicious! On top of that, the staff here are so friendly, warm, and welcoming. Highly recommend stopping in for a coffee here!

I hate to give a bad review to a small coffee shop, I love checking out local shops and supporting local businesses, but this one was bad. The Coffee Syndicate in Gatlinburg was less bad.

I've read reviews before I visited The Wild Plum Tea Room. All I have to say is PLEASE go see and…read moreexperience this gem of a place for yourself! Before you go understand this. Reservations ARE a Must!!! No Exceptions!!! Don't try to do a walk in. I've read some speaking on their business model this place has plenty of business I've seen it they are not hurting for patrons to come. We are being gifted with an invitation to experience southern hospitality and face to face socializing like the days of old. When families and businesses cared about more than fast money and saw people as humans and not checks or tourists even. This place makes you remember businesses should have more care of human beings, ethics and integrity and not just a product.There is a reason you need a reservation.This tea room is meant to give personalized attention and service to the patrons not to fill the restaurant's seats. The women who work here love what they do. Also there are only three women I could see there serving /cooking from 3:00 am I'm told throughout the entire service window. My cup was never empty and nothing I asked for was missed. They were accommodating to each request and we made plenty. We were a table of nine, ages 3-72. There is a beautiful artist upstairs sharing stories, paintings and drawings making memories and providing the best hospitality Tennessee has to offer. There is a scavenger hunt in the artist's paintings just ask about it. If you want to take some of the tea home with you they sell it by the gallon and you need to ask for it when you make your reservation through text message NOT while you are there. If you want to taste the tea first go to your reservation and try it. Then request to make another reservation just for the tea to purchase for another day but it is your risk to take. They may or may not allow it because everything they are doing has been made to serve you that day and depending on how busy the restaurant may supplies may not be available to fill the request. This is WHY reservations are so important for your enjoyment and personal catered experience. I was able to see two situations while I went to the restaurant. One group of women didn't have a reservation and therefore they could not be served. The ladies were upset clearly and worked diligently to let other patrons know they were not pleased. They went as far as to ask the waitress about other places they could go to eat while the waitress was in the middle of explaining the menu to our table. There is no food desert in Tennessee you can't walk down a street and not see a food place. Another group came to the restaurant before their reservation. They were acknowledged and asked to please wait under the covered outdoor seating area. They were told at 1:30 ,which was the reservation time according to the patron, they would be called. They were welcomed to The Wild Plum Tea Room. The time was 1:20.The patrons were unhappy about this. I don't know of many restaurants where one has never heard take this buzzer your wait time will be 45 minutes to an hour. With a reservation if you come early they will say we will be right with you or we will call you when your table is ready and even those places don't give you half the attention this place does. You may see tables empty. You may assume they could've just this or that. Give this place a complete chance and learn for yourself the attention to detail these women put into serving the locals, their community and tourists. There is extra parking available to you near the tea room because the onsite parking is smaller.Just follow the sign that says The Wild Plum Tea Room. Enjoy your meal!!!I loved everything,my sister,who is a picky eater ,loved everything other than the peas and bread puddinbecause they were the fresh ones with a bite. That's her preference not a charge against the restaurant. This is not an English tea experience. You are away from the noise and adventure of Pigeon Forge but it's only twenty minutes away from it all also.pass by the Bison and take some time to slow down when you visit The Wild Plum Tea Room.

While we were walking the Arts and Crafts Loop near Gatlinburg (I HIGHLY recommend this as well), we noticed this wonderful-looking restaurant nestled away in the green forested hills across the street. We opted to come back here for dinner on our last night in the Great Smokey Mountains. Sooooo glad we did! Owned and operated by a European couple, the Red Oak has the ambiance of a quaint European restaurant that one would find tucked away in the Alps. While the inside atmosphere is wonderful, we chose to sit outside to enjoy the very quiet and beautiful forested hills of Gatlinburg. Service was incredible and very European - they told us they would not bother us unless we asked for something and that the table was ours for the evening. Yep...we stayed there for three hours, sipping our wine and trying various dishes of exquisite flavor. I'd like to say try this or try that, but to be honest: all the dishes we tried were absolutely phenomenal. We cannot wait to try this place again!

A beet Napoleon, layers of beets with a creamy whipped goat cheese and a lightly dressed salad of mesclun greens, and the kebabche, which I've always wanted to try, they make here.

As a local, I love this spot for lunch and everything in between. Freshly made and located in the beloved arts and crafts district. A quieter and better tasting option than what Gatlinburg has to offer on the parkway. Wonderful service and a friendly staff :) I've eaten here dozens of times and have 0 complaints!

What a wonderful surprise on the crafts loop! Six retired school teachers ate at Split Rails and we all gave it an A+. Everything we had was so good! The chicken fritters,cinnamon hand pies, and biscuit pudding were superb.
