I was not impressed. Ambiance was fun however the food was sorely lacking. I ordered Scrambled eggs which were not real eggs, biscuits and gravy which was a frozen biscuit. I understand quantity sometimes over rules quality but even fast food restaurants make biscuits from scratch. The grits were good. read more

This was a fun eatery! Definitely a hopping place. We came to eat here on vacation, a party of six and they seated us right away! We all fit in a booth and the service was prompt and with a smile. Because it's such a large seating area, and nearly all the tables were full, I would recommend they add a bus boys position to help keep drinks filled while the waiters are taking orders, because you're going to be adding shakes and ice cream after seeing the orders of your neighbors! Food: Fabulous! Everything diner fare should be. Larger portions, amazingly cooked with quality ingredients. No skimping here! Note, the chicken tenders have more of a light/southern breading and we loved it! Drinks: get an old fashioned soda! Yummo! Or a shake while you're waiting for your food. They are smooth and will bring you the extra cup too! Note: the shakes also come with a waffle on top! Dessert: plan on splitting dinner so you can also share dessert! Big portions and we loved it! read more

Just had a chili dog and my wife a bowl of chili but they were both delicious and the waitress was kind. The place was clean and organized

We were in town to party at Dollywood. We came in and there was about a 30 wait to be seated. Once we sat, Karri, was our waitress. She was great! Always had a smile and was very attentive to our culinary needs. We ordered several menu items. I had the steak dinner, with green beans and mashed potatoes. Even though I ordered my steak medium rare, it was tough. The beans were just ok, but the mashed potatoes were very tasty. Everyone else said that their food was good, not great. The atmosphere is 50s diner and the wait staff dress appropriately. The milkshakes were really good, but we were not fans of the soggy waffle piece. Overall we had a fun time and would eat here again. read more

Awesome family diner! My family & I enjoyed our visit here as the service was great and the place was packed! The food was standard but not bad, I'm not a fan on putting my own toppings on a burger...it gives cafeteria vibes....However that was the best damn corn dog I've ever had! I still regret not trying a banana split! read more

Classic diner exterior with a vibrant mid-century interior that nails the retro feel. The staff was friendly and dressed to theme, and the menu offers plenty of options at fair prices for the area. It was quite busy even later in the evening, but our food came out quickly and the milkshakes were decent. My sandwich, however, came out a bit soggy and felt rushed, lacking much flavor overall. The restaurant could've been a bit cleaner, and while the team stayed pleasant, you could tell they were tired. Overall, a fun diner experience, though the food and details could use a little more care. read more

First time visitor. Atmosphere. 5 Star Service was really good! Ordered the fried pickles and they were really good. Had the country fried steak and it was good, but my green beans and mashed potatoes came out warm at best. Deduct 1 Star Charging $3.50 for a kids drink and no ice cream selection on the kids menu. That's at least $15 for the kids to have a drink and milk shake. 3 kids, $45 Deduct 1 Star. Total bill for 2 Adults and 3 Kids, $142, $170 with tip. Will I return, yes, but the kids will have water and I'll be taking them to Andy's for ice cream after. read more

Had a delicious breakfast here! Seated right away and served so fast! The decor is very cool, you can even sit in one of the classic car tables if you're lucky enough to get one. We got the fruit yogurt parfait, bacon, grits and a breakfast sampler. Pricy but that's kind of expected - $48 including $10 tip. The store! Loved it! We got a number of great gifts for family. Lots of parking but it's mostly towards the back of the lot. It was pouring rain when we arrived and we were pretty set by the time we got to the front door. Recommend for a good, solid meal. read more

What a cool place. This is a diner done right. Super friendly staff, everyone was great. The food looked very good as I made my way to the table. Old school sodas available, floats, ice cream, and all day breakfast along with normal diner fare. I got the jukebox burger (not sure why, a challenge maybe) and it was delicious. The patties were great and the bun was on point. Very good, strong recommendation. I wish I had room for an ice cream or shake. read more

Excellent experience! We visited here to celebrate my daughter's birthday during most recent trip to PF/G area and had a wonderful time! The food and service were fantastic.

We found this cool little diner when we drove into Pigeon Forge. We decided to grab some food. As we walked in we were greeted by the friendly staff and seated immediately. The diner has such a cool vibe and the food is delicious with very nice portions. The price is right too! We loved the gift shop as well. The restaurant, as well as the bathrooms, were very clean. We can't wait to go back on our next trip! read more

This is such a cute diner with cars for seating, the wait staff in period dress and the 50's slang in the air. I ordered a Patty Melt and he did the Jukebox challenge where he won 50 cent for the jukebox and a button saying he completed the challenge. It was my birthday so they sang which was cute. I ordered my own cake and ice cream. The ice cream was meh but the star was the Oreo cake. We will be back for breakfast! read more

This place is neat! Love the diner atmosphere and how the waitresses wear the older dresses! The menus being like an old newspaper were cool too. The food was good, nothing special. My husband got a hamburger and said the patties tasted like pre-pattied frozen ones. I got the fried pickles and they were really good. The crust was great and the pickles were sliced thin. Wanted a milkshake, but could not see paying $13 for one. Cool experience, just higher prices. read more

Stopped in here before starting our Bachelor day on the Pigeon Forge strip. We choose this location, because some guys wanted breakfast and some wanted lunch. The menu is styled like a newspaper and you get to keep it as a keepsake. I thought that was a cool and unique touch. The ambiance was similar to a "50s diner" very retro, large space, at times music would play very loud and waitress/waiters would dance around the restaurant. There was a lot of people here when we went and it was LOUD. Moving on to our experience, clearly we didn't get the server everyone else had because ours acted like he absolutely hated his life. He was so monotoned and at times just flat rude. For instance he said "I don't know why you're gathering up the menus. You're suppose to keep them" okay? How are we suppose to know that if we've never been here. Just super unnecessary. He also forgot to bring out a root beer float and condiments for a couple of the folks at our table. We finally got them after pretty much everyone had finished their food since he just disappeared. He was also wearing someone else's name tag, which we thought was odd. On to the food - everyone liked what they ordered at the table and I heard no complaints. My chicken sandwich was decent not the best I've ever had, but did the job. Fries were nothing special just your typically shoestring fry. The ambiance was cool, but the average food and the awful service we had was enough to make this place a one and done for me personally. Service is a big part of your experience when going to a restaurant and the last thing you want to encounter on a vacation is rude and lacking customer service. read more

The Ambiance is amazing in this place and so is the service. However, the food was on par with "Denny's or Waffle House" restaurants. Maybe is some ways a little worse. I had the Sunliner so called, "Corn Beef Hash" dish. It was like sliced and then diced luncheon meat that's served to you. Definitely, not appealing! Denny's or Waffle House food might have been better! read more

Sooooo disappointing!!! We were there a few years ago and the food was so good, especially the carrot cake. A huge slice of four layers with the best cream cheese frosting for almost $10 and well worth it. Flash forward to this past weekend, got a piece to go and oh my gosh, it was terrible! It was only 2 layers, about a third the size of before and tasted like it'd been in the refrigerator without being covered and it was $9!!!! Something changed and not for the better. So sad... read more

Wow this is a spot to visit. The retro vibe is a must to see on the outside and inside. Saw the reviews and had to come try myself. Service was very good and the lady's running tables had cute retro attire on. I ordered the garden omelet-7/10, cheese was good and veggies were good as well but mushrooms had a weird texture. The biscuits were super good as well as the bacon. The restaurant is very clean and also has a nice gift shop on the right as you enter. I also got an iced coffee and that was 8/10 very good. read more

Breakfast was fantastic. Ordered the chicken and waffles Benedict and the avocado Benedict. Omg talk about amazing and best I've had anywhere. A must try if you go there. Service is fantastic. Atmosphere is fun. For breakfast better go early or you will be waiting for a table. At least on wkends it was that way. But it's worth the wait. Next time I hope we can eat in the pink Cadillac.

The Sunliner Diner in Pigeon Forge, TN has delicious Food, a super large dining ares with 1950's Decor, and the best "entertaining service by our waitress, Tammy". We had 8 adults who ordered everything from omelettes, burgers, chicken, to pasta and all came out together looking fabulous and tasted even better! Everyone was more than satisfied! We wanted to take "Tammy" home with us! Tammy's witty and hilarious exchange in describing their menu and taking our orders! She had us in stitches while never missing a beat with providing quality service! When in Pigeon Forge, the Sunliner Diner is "a must" and be sure to ask for "Tammy"!! It was a most pleasant dining experience with a great manager, too!! read more

We had the best breakfast at the Sunliner Diner. It took me back to my youth. Food was perfecto. Very appealing to the eye, tasty, hot and served with a smile. Our waitress was patient with us and did not rush us. I loved the decor of the restaurant, the 50's theme. All staff were dressed accordingly and the decor fit the bill. One of the head staff even took a picture with me. There are days the staff actually dance for you from the music of the 50s and 60s. A most go to restaurant for sure read more

The food was great and the atmosphere was super cool! Service was a little slow but it was crowded day. We were told 30 minute wait but it did not take nearly that long. Only complaint is really the temperature. It was so hot. We used our menus as fans but that helped only slightly. read more

Such a fun restaurant! 1950's Rock-N-Roll atmosphere in red and white, two actual 50's convertibles converted into booths to eat in. Huge seating area, massive friendly staff, and very attentive. Great shakes, malts, ice-creams, burgers, sandwiches, and top notch American 50's cuisine. We had fried pickles for an appetizer and they were incredible! My wife and daughter had vanilla creme sodas and they loved them. I had the Barnyard Burger, my daughter had the Avocado Burger, and wife had Paddy Melt on rye, and we all had more than we could eat. They even had a young magician in "Fonzy" clothes walking around doing card tricks. I highly recommend this adorable, colorful, and family friendly diner. read more

My husband got a burger that was delicious, was called farm something it had a fried egg on it and it was the juicy burger ever. I got a plain salad it wasn't that good, it was definitely bagged salad mix the bottom half of my salad was all shredded carrots. I didn't like the 1000 island dressing I asked for ranch later. My daughter's chicken and waffle kids plate came with fries and she loved it.My son got the kids Mac n cheese and fries and the mac n cheese was very cold and the cheese tasted like nacho cheese it was weird we didn't eat it. My in laws were with us and they ordered breakfast food and said it was really good. I wouldn't get salad or mac n cheese here but otherwise it was good. read more

We heard good things about this place ahead of our vacation. We were very underwhelmed. The "country fried steak" is a frozen patty thing. The "butter" is basically whipped oil. The ambience is pretty good. The service we got was mediocre at best. I feel like if we'd had a different server, it might've been better. No refills offered at all. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. read more

This place was recommended by a friend saying it was good the last time they were here. From the moment we sat down service was terrible. Sommer was our waitress. We waited 20 minutes for our drinks and when they came they gave us no straws. The food came in a timely manner but never got our French fries. We never got any silverware and we asked two different people and they never got it for us. The eggs were slimy and the bathroom had no paper towels. We will not be back! read more

Fun restaurant with a nice menu. The 50's theme was so well done; the music, the decor, and everyone's costumes were all carefully and expertly orchestrated to make the customers' experience entirely immersive. The food, overall, was very good even if a bit overpriced. The souvenir shop alone was worth the visit. My only beef was with the service. The hostess who seated us seemed annoyed to be at work, and our waitress, though friendly enough, was all business. She brought us our check while we were still eating, then came by twice to pick it up even though we *still* were finishing our food. It's not as though we were taking an inordinate amount of time on our meal, either. When you pay $50 for a breakfast, you shouldn't be pressured to eat quickly. read more

Very cute 50's themed diner. Menus were printed on newspaper, servers all dressed the part. We were seated in one of the cars so that was pretty cool in itself. I opted for an omelette with hash browns asked extra crispy and that is what I got. They also included biscuit. This is served with that fake butter but if you ask for real butter, you can get it. A bit pricey but this is in Pigeon Forge so it's definitely a tourist town. Big plus in my book is that they keep the restroom cleaned. Not always easy at a place that has constant business. read more

Loved this place!! Live entertainment was awesome! The decor took us back to our childhood days. Wait time was minimal for a lunchtime crowd. Most of the crew got burgers and fries. Just a typical lunch but entertainment made up for it. read more

The place has an amazing aesthetic. It is truly designed like a traditional diner back in the day. They had amazing interior and exterior decor with cool signage and cars. The menus are also very fun with them being old-fashioned newspapers with some fun facts on the front. The service was also good. Our waiter was very nice and got us everything we needed and recommended/suggested good things to try. The iced vanilla coffee was very good, a bit on the sweeter side but still good. The garden omelette was good, but the mushrooms made it have a weird taste and usually I'm okay with mushrooms, but I would have it again without the mushrooms. The Avocado Benedict was also just good, one egg was poached but the other one was hard boiled. However, the hash browns were great! I would highly recommend to others. read more
