Our first visit to Over Easy. The restaurant itself was clean and bright. No sticky nasty menus…read moreyou would expect at a travel location. Service was prompt and courteous. We ordered the chicken and waffles and the stuff French toast with cream cheese pumpkin filling with a side of bacon. Bacon was fairly standard and good. The French toast was a good hefty portion with lots of filling. Chicken and waffles also a good portion. The waffle itself probably couldn't stand on its own as it didn't quite have the vanilla sweetness I would expect. The chicken by itself was crispy and had a good flavor but the hot honey was nearly undetectable. The French toast was extremely sweet and tasted wonderful but I'm a morning sweets person and that's what I expect. Overall I'd give this a solid "will visit again" and a good alternative to its sister restaurant next door Crocketts. We also had a shareable fried deviled eggs that were pretty good.

I'm writing this review in hopes that others avoid the mistake we made…read more Specifically, avoiding avoiding Over Easy Al's. With the same ownership as Crockett's across the street and a pile of glowing reviews, we walked in expecting to discover our new favorite breakfast spot in Gatlinburg. Instead, we left wondering if we had somehow visited a completely different restaurant than everyone else. Let me start with the positives. The restaurant is beautiful. A tremendous amount of thought, money, and effort clearly went into the design. It's bright, inviting, and visually impressive. The hostess was also warm, friendly, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Unfortunately, that's where things started heading downhill. We began with the fried deviled eggs. Now, this should have been a slam dunk. Fried? Deviled eggs? What's not to love? The answer: the breading. There was so much of it that it overwhelmed everything else. Instead of enhancing the flavor, it buried it. The deviled egg filling barely had a chance to introduce itself before getting tackled by the coating. Then came the Farmer's Garden Omelette, which both my wife and I ordered based on our server Katie's recommendation. What arrived was an omelette that seemed to have a strained relationship with vegetables. The spinach was still essentially raw, and the vegetables felt less like ingredients and more like something someone remembered at the last second. "Oh no, this is supposed to be a vegetable omelette." Tosses vegetables into center. Closes omelette. Problem solved. The result was an omelette where the eggs and vegetables never really came together as a dish. But the biggest disappointment wasn't the food. It was the service. Our server disappeared for extended stretches despite the restaurant being nearly empty. Water glasses sat empty. No tea refills. No check-ins. At one point I started wondering if she'd been recruited into a witness protection program. The only time my iced tea was refilled was when I finally asked for the check. That's generally not the point in the meal when you're hoping service suddenly kicks into gear. What makes this experience so frustrating is the potential. The restaurant looks fantastic. The location is great. The ownership has a proven track record nearby. But on this visit, the food execution and service simply didn't match the reputation. Disappointed. Not the breakfast experience we expected. And in a town overflowing with outstanding breakfast options, that's a tough miss. Two stars. Try another breakfast spot. In Gatlinburg, you have plenty of excellent choices.

We were actually waiting for Crockett's and decided to try our hand somewhere else. While flapjacks…read morealso had a line, we got in much quicker to get our griddle fix. They are quite efficient with a grid layout and well trained staff. Despite the workload, everyone seemed friendly and eager to help. The coffee was bountiful and somewhat better than your normal greasy spoon. They were out of the bacon twists appetizer, but that just shows the popularity. Ended up with the Wonderland plate and an enormous amount of food, having to leave behind half a biscuit and 1 flapjack. The meats were tasty and eggs were cooked right to order. The only drawback was the bathroom situation. They have a single unisex stall downstairs, with more space upstairs. However, with this being the only option for mobility impaired folks, and being so frequented, it needs more attention by the staff. It hasn't been cleaned for a bit and maybe some automation (sink/soap/towel dispenser) would help.

Being from Wisconsin this place gave off perfect supper club vibes and was fantastic…read more We decided to dine here our last night in town on a Sunday. It was fairly busy but they don't take reservations so I'd imagine they're busier Friday and Saturday nights. The food was great. They're really known for their catfish and have great options for meat/pasta if seafood isn't your thing. Drinks were very affordable. Felt like a slice of heaven from Wisconsin. A cool part is they have water pouring down off the roof which gives a very peaceful and intimate vibe. Staff were great too. Our server was so nice and helpful. If you're looking for a spot the locals like here you go!

Didn't feel as fancy as the food they offer. Staff was very nice and attentive. It was a little cold in our original spot and they had no problem moving us to a different area.

The one thing we all noticed, some things were salty. We noticed the ranch for our salad was salty, as well as the chicken on the chicken parm. Other than that, experience was good with friendly staff and a quiet place to eat. Food wasn't anything to rave about, but we enjoyed our meals regardless.

Even the sides don't disappoint, and the milkshakes are enough for two people, at least it was enough for the two of us. My engine rings were fantastic, breaded to perfection, and plenty of them came with my meal. Our waitress was tremendous also, quick drink refills, brought our food, hot, and prepared to give helpful and delicious recommendations from the menu. They do sell their merchandise at the checkout, but what do you expect, this is pigeon Forge for goodness sake! Everyone is Hawking their stuff . We are definitely planning on coming back and trying something different. Their menu is diverse and I think that we could come back for years and never have the same thing twice.

Seating is plentiful, the decor is cute and not too disruptive, and the breakfast bar has a telly. There is even a pink Caddy that serves as a table for that unique dining experience. I didn't have time to stop and shop but The Sunlight does have a gift shop tucked in the corner. I will definitely come back when I next visit. The hospitality of the staff here is off the charts!

Once seated our server, Macy took excellent care of us. She was efficient with bringing drinks and keeping them topped off. It was pretty crazy that our order was out in 15 minutes, great job! I ordered the Works Omelet ($13.49) with has browns, and Nancy chose the Bacon Grits Skillet with two eggs and pancakes ($12.49) and a cup of coffee ($3.29). Our meals were hot, fresh, and delicious. The only issue is they don't make their hash browns too crispy, so if you like them that way be sure to ask. We were in and out in about an hour minus the wait. All-n-all, it was a great experience and I would come back again if in the area and looking for an affordable breakfast option.
