Our first and probably last visit to The Sunliner Dine. The service was just a little slow, the noise was intolerable, could not have a conversation with the person across the table. The food however was very good, but could not makeup for the noise. read more

A cute 1950s themed-diner featuring pink and red Cadillacs turned into booth for you to enjoy your meal! This is a must try dining experience while visiting Pigeon Forge! The place is always busy but it is worth the wait. We walked in and requested for the pink Cadillac, we were told it is going to be an hour wait! But luckily, the guest before us didn't show up so we got the pink Cadillac after 10minutes of waiting. They have a lot of selection in their menu. We ended up ordering burgers and they were both tasty. Our server was super nice and even offered to take lots of pictures of us in the pink Cadillac when she found out we were celebrating our anniversary. It was such a pleasant experience! read more

Had breakfast here with my family. This was by far our favorite meal of the entire trip. The 20 minute wait for a table was well worth it and time flew by as we reminisced while browsing their shop. My son and I both ordered omelettes. They were perfection! I had grits and he had fruit. The grits were delicious and the fruit was fresh and crisp. The biscuit was delicious as well. It was on the late side for breakfast so my husband ordered a cheeseburger which he also praised. I wish I'd found this place earlier in the trip and I may have eaten there daily. The hostess, waitress, and all staff in general were pleasant and attentive. I'm looking forward to coming back to the area in the future so I can stop in again. read more

Long wait but great atmosphere. Live singer and pretty good food. Would recommend to anyone. Lively place.

We tried this place with family as we checked out Peigion Forge and thought it was so cute with the vintage diner theme. We all ordered something different to get a good feel for the food. Our order consisted of an American burger, Fish and Chips, Bacon cheese burger with onion rings and an Avacado Burger. When we arrived we were seated right away as there were maybe 7 groups there yet it took our waitress 15 min to finally come to our table to get our drink order as she was busy socializing with one of the other waitress about some new clothes she just bought. When the food came it looked great except my husband ordered onion rings and they brought him fries. They fixed it right away but it was just annoying after the experience we had already had. Everything was just average and the prices are steep for what you get. Our ending ticket was $58.00 and they offer a military discount. read more

This was a wonderful place for breakfast. Everything tastes amazing and the ambiance of a diner in the 1950s was done very well. Our waitress was a little preoccupied, but very sweet. read more

Loved the atmosphere of the place! We went at a decent time so no long waits. I got the Buffalo chicken sandwich and fries and it was good! Not too spicy. My husband got the chicken and waffles Benedict with hashbrowns which he liked but said the eggs could have been cooked a little longer, he doesn't like runny whites. Topped it all off with a classic chocolate milkshake. So good! read more

Loved this Diner! This was across from our hotel so we decided to try it out. So glad we did. Awesome experience Food was excellent Family really enjoyed this place!! If you are in this area you must stop in breakfast or anytime!! Caesar was an awesome waiter!! read more

We were seated very quickly and loved the ambiance inside, the theme was so cute and they followed it perfectly. Our waitress was named Brooke and she was so awesome, she was very nice and made sure we had everything we needed. Our food came out quickly and it was all pretty good, the only complaint about the food I have is that the burgers were very good but also very greasy to the point they made the bottom bun soggy. I loved the cheese sauce that came on the fries, it had jalapeños in it and was a tiny bit spicy but so good. My only other complaint were the two girls working at the hostess station, while everyone else was very polite and had their good customer service going the two of them absolutely did not...they just weren't very polite at all. read more

Sunliner Diner - Awesome menu - Diners Near Me - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

Worst food ever family of 4 costs over 100 dollars for terrible serviceable nasty food. Fish and chips were aweful. Got my wifes order wrong. Wife ordered a cosmo, also nasty. Also very loud. Don't waste your money. read more

The ambiance is like a 50s dive, however if you are a vegetarian like I am, get ready to be ripped off--they charge $5 EXTRA to replace a regular meat patty with a veggie patty on an already overpriced burger meal. I ate there, what i could find to eat, but I won't be back..the waitress however was a doll, and she also agreed it was crazy to uncharged THAT MUCH to get a non-meat option. Ambiance is moderately noisy. I'll go to Mel's from now on. read more

The country fried steak was amazing My friend and I came here after a day of exploring Pigeon forge. Was a great end to our trip!

The Sunliner Diner looks like it should be an awesome diner outside and inside. The diner has got a retro look with vintage cars. The food is well below average. We had 4 people in our group and no one was satisfied with their food. Chocolate chip pancakes had almost no chocolate, the French toast crust was hard like old bread, the classic breakfast was very small. 7 dollars for a orange cream soda that was 3 sips. Food is not great and prices are not great for the quality. The only redeeming quality is that the place looks cool. Seems like a very touristy diner, looks great but lacks substance. read more

It was okay. The shop was overpriced. The food was mehhhh. Our server was lively and service was fast

Stopped here for a quick meal on the way out of town. They were very busy so food took a while. The chili cheese fries were really good but the other food tasted like what you would get at a drive thru. I ordered and paid for onion rings but got fries instead. The decor was cool with the old time diner feel and two cars inside with tables. read more

Sunliner Diner - The Classic Burger - Diners Near Me - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

This restaurant is so fun with a 50s theme, complete with 2 booths in convertibles. Food was so good, not an everyday burger. My burger had 2 patties, real cheddar cheese. 2 whole pieces of bacon, and half an avocado on a brioche bun. The service was very fast....got seated right away and our meals were delivered within 15 min. Of ordering! The menu has other sandwiches and some plated dinner options as well. The shakes and ice cream deserts are pricey, but very large and made with real ice cream. Highly recommend. read more

Wow, visiting Gatlinburg found this wonderful diner! Of course there was a decent weight but all in all highly recommend the food was phenomenal. The service was even better and I love the outfit that the servers were wearing. read more

We went here for dinner and it was really fun. The food is really good. I had the cheese fries and they were delicious. I got the chicken tenders and fries basket, the fries were fine and the chicken tenders were good. I got the root beer float for dessert and it was good and sweet. They have a neat gift shop and the aesthetic is really fun. The only problems I had were the wait time and noise. Our wait time was 30 minutes, but it wasn't that bad and it was understandable given how packed the place was. The noise from the other people wasn't too bad, the noise that annoyed me was whenever they would shake a cowbell and yell when someone ordered a jukebox burger. The first time was fine, but after awhile it got annoying. But I would definitely recommend coming here with family and friends, the restaurant is fun and the food is good. read more

Sunliner Diner - Root beer float - Diners Near Me - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

Great atmosphere! Charming. Vintage. Nostalgic decor. Very busy which makes for a fun experience. Very simple easy menu with lots of simple American favorites. Rueben was great. Hamburgers were good. Didn't get dessert but they all looked INCREDIBLY DECADENT. Fast, friendly diner-style service. Great location right on the strip. Perfect walking distance to so many of the local hotels and shows. We ate here before heading next door to The Grand Majestic theater to see the Mo-Town show. Didn't take any pictures but all the ones I see on Yelp are pretty consistent with what I saw. read more

Proper 50s themed dinner. Food was delicious and staff were friendly and helpful. Went with a few girlfriends for breakfast. I had the caramel ice coffee and Dream Boat waffles. The ice coffee came in a milkshake glass with ribbons of the caramel inside and had the right balance of sweet and milk for my tastes. The waffles were so much bigger than expected but absolutely delicious! I bearly made it through the 1st 1.5 waffles, sausage, and all the bacon; I left full and happy . The restaurant is clean and lives up to the 50s theme. There are 2 boths that are in an old school convertible, 50s music was playing to set the mood, and the waitresses all have on 50s dresses, makeup and hair accessories. Totally recommend this place! read more

Dinner AND a show Sunliner has nice food, a noteworthy environment, a cool gift shop, and a wonderfully overdone theme. We've been here twice, the first time, we got to sit in a refurbished Ford and ate, but this review is more about the second time, where the diner had a lobotomy. THE DINNER - I wanted a root beer cream soda. A regular cream soda. They gave me a root beer with ORANGE CREAM. ORANGE. CREAM. IN. A. ROOT. BEER. Absolutely f**king disgusting, the waitress tried saying it was just how they made root beer back in the day, I'm not complaining about the bitter taste, I'm complaining about the orange cream where regular cream should be. - I swapped it out for a milkshake that tasted absolutely wonderful, my older brother got a fun milkshake with slap bracelets, rubber duckies, and toy cars. Not joking, its a real menu item. Might;ve been something like birthday cake. My milkshake had a silly little paper boat on it :) - Excellent food hands down THE SHOW - The waitress puked in front of us and she went back to work like nothing ever happened. - They had workers fighting each other (a guy dressed as a greaser and a guy dressed as a nerd) just for "the lulz" PS: it's 1958 according to the diner, and the first time we came here, Mr. Ed was on the TV. That show didn't come out until 1961, you may wanna check on the fabric of the universe. I have nothing against the show, in fact I think tis fun, just saying that it feels kinda weird, also back then, I don't think they had QR codes...you do you though! read more

I often see these tourist trap type restaurants and dread going in because the actual food is such a disappointment. not here!!! Every step of this place is an experience worth making time for! The owners have paid particular attention to all the details of design so you definitely feel like you are in a 50's diner. The staff and servers are all attentive, friendly and helpful. I didn't have high hopes for the food due to all the great details they put into the design of this restaurant but oh Lord - that food was excellent!!! We ate breakfast which included a western omelette, sausage and biscuits, waffles and bacon and ham. Everyone's plate was great. The only reason we left anything was because we simply could not eat a bite more. Highly recommend if you are in Pigeon Forge making this one of your stops. read more

Sunliner Diner - Diners Near Me - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

This is a place we typically visit. The breakfast items are adequate or less than stellar. Didn't even taste like real eggs in omelette. Only thing that was decent were the grits. I would not get anything breakfast again. Even the waffles were over cooked and dry. Bleh. The lunch dinner food is definitely better. And the desserts are very good. It's expensive for the overall quality. Rather disappointing experience. The service today was adequate but not great. For the price I expect better professionalism. The restaurant was clean and maintained. . Most likely will go back. But it's not worth a special visit nor the price . read more

The food was cold and not very good. Our service was really slow. The ambience is good. I would not go back.

Three start for cleanliness and the fact that our waitress was very nice and took great care of us. Some leeway was given for the fact that it was less than an hour before closing but the food really was disappointing. My corned beef hash was more like a pastrami scramble over hashbrowns. The corned beef was sliced like deli meat then cut into smaller pieces. It was warm but didn't seem like it had seen the griddle for more than a few seconds. The veggies were just mixed in. My wife had the "Chef" salad...if you can call some deli meat thrown on top of lettuce with a couple cucumber slices and a hardboiled egg a chef salad then I guess thats what is was. It was the bare minimum. read more

Sunliner Diner - Belgian Waffles - Diners Near Me - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

When you travel "back east" one must frequent a diner to experience life as it should be. Simple fresh ingredients cooked to perfection. What a concept !! In a town full of tourists and long lines this diner was a winner. It was a little before 11 am and our server Nicole assured us that it was ok to order lunch. Diners and burgers and milkshakes all go together don't they ?? So we ordered the barnyard burger and the skyliner burger which both came with fries. Everything was cooked to perfection. Grilled flavor on the burger, smokiness on the bacon. Fries were fresh and crispy. Can't say enough about how good these burgers were. We took a strawberry milkshake to go on the next leg of our vacation. Yummm ... delish. Definitely recommend this cute spot for your next meal !! read more

Thought I would try this cool looking place. Nice vintage looking restaurant but as far as the food goes you may as well have gone to Shoneys. Service is good but I know I wouldn't visit again just because the breakfast was not impressive at all. Food selection definitely could use some better variety and products. Was kind of disappointed. read more

This place has such potential and not writing them off I loved the decor and they have a cool menu just had a rough experience with waiting to served and the food we got was a little off. The patty melt was ok they did not season the burger and it tasted bland very little cheese and onion with 2 big patties. The fries came extra salty and the BLT was good the bacon was cooked well and onion rings were the star of the show. Next time we will be back for breakfast or dessert the shakes looked awesome read more

Our party of 6 came at around 11 on a Saturday, so our experience was definitely colored by the busyness of the hour, but overall we had a good time though the food really knocked the stars off for me. Our server was very attentive and kind, though obvious sat more than she probably should have been with several parties even larger than ours. Several times during our meal we had other staff members check in with us and they were all similarly kind and quick with their service. Our main issue was with the food. All six people in our group had an issue. Ones eggs were extremely bland and the cheese on them wasn't even melted. There was plastic in the eggs of another. Two had parts of their order mixed with the other and had to move things between them. One had asked for no tomato's and got them anyway. One had asked for boiled eggs and it turned out they couldn't do them that way so the server changed it to poached without asking them (though they did rectify it). Ones food came out about 30 minutes after everyone else's (though we just think it got very backed up in the kitchen). For the price of the meals, I personally don't think it's worth it to come here more than once, though the atmosphere is very lively and retro. Side note: happy birthday was sung a total of 11 times while we were here read more

The Sunliner Diner is themed around a quintessential 1950's diner. There are 1950's cars adorning the front entrance and you can even dine in a car from the era. The menu is a newspaper that not only has the food and dessert options, but contains lots of fun facts about the 1950's. We had a large party for dinner with everyone ordering different options. We started with fried pickles and onion rings. The batter was simply too thick for our liking. For entrees, I'll rate them as follows: Rueben sandwich: 5/5 Barnyard burger: 3/5 Grilled chicken sandwich: 3/5 Kids waffle and bacon: 4/5 For the desserts, we had a strawberry milkshake, cookies and cream and a turtle banana split. The turtle banana split was a 4/5, while the milkshakes were 3/5. Overall, the Sunliner Diner was an interesting departure from the restaurant norm and a good family restaurant. read more

Great concept, superb service and good food! Really has become a yoogely popular spot. We made it here for brekkie and the place was full and rockin'. Giant dining room, great soda bar and a gift shop! We got a table pretty quickly despite the crowd and Barbara took exceptionally great and fun care of us! Coffee is fresh, hot and tasty. We went traditional brekkie. I had Eggs, sausage, hash browns and a biscuit with sausage gravy. Jackson got the berry blast waffles with honey. Both dishes were nicely prepared, full of flavor and hot to the table! We enjoyed our first time here. The way they managed the crowd and the experience was all top shelf. If you're looking for a new foodie place on the parkway, mosey on into the Sunliner Diner for brekkie, lunch or dinner. There's a limited bar, but something will satisfy you there too! But, I suspect you'll be as pleased as we were! read more

We found this place last year when we first visited Gatlinburg. Awesome 50's theme, with music and retro tables. Two tables are even inside a car!

Servers and staff are very helpful and friendly. read more

Such a unique experience. The diner is 50s style. The staff are all dressed accordingly. The menu had a newspaper appearance dated July 1950. so cute. The portions were large and way too much food but I'd rather it be too much than not enough. Such a fun experience read more
