    This was my "Free Birthday Waffle" Pigeon Forge TN

    Absolutely the very worst experience I've ever had in a Waffle House. We went on a vacation to Gatlinburg/ Pigeon Forge on my birthday weekend. On the morning of my birthday we went in to have a nice breakfast. I showed the waitress my "free waffle " on my birthday email. She looked at it, sighed and demanded that I delete the email right then. I didn't get a "happy birthday" or any other comment except "go ahead and delete that" We overlooked this and waited for our food. What arrived was a crumpled up piece of garbage that was supposed to be a waffle. I wouldn't serve this to my dog. It was wholly unappetizing and looked like a kitchen reject. I understand it's a free waffle, and I did expect just a plain waffle, but I wanted something appetizing. Just because it's free doesn't mean that you serve crap. If you don't want to serve anything for free, then don't send the email. I asked the waitress what it was supposed to be and she said the waffle maker was overused that weekend by the slammedenuff car show. I can understand that, but at least mention when you bring it to me that there was a problem with the waffle maker, don't make it out like there's nothing wrong. Why couldn't I have an alternative item if the waffle maker was broken? Why are you even still using it? The waitress eventually saw I was upset and offered to have it remade, but what's the point? If the first one comes out like garbage, why wouldn't the second one? The whole point of this review is this, WHY would you even think to serve something like this? Especially on someone's birthday. They did ruin my morning but thankfully we found a better place that was absolutely wonderful. We will never return to this Waffle House and I will never order a waffle from any Waffle House ever again. Apparently you can't get a waffle from a place that calls itself a Waffle House. My family did try it to see if it was any good, but I wouldn't touch it. They said it was okay but not very good.

    Immediately upon entering, my boyfriend and I received a warm southern welcome. The people in Tennessee are so very friendly. We were promptly seated. My server was extremely friendly and attentive. She gave us great tips when it came to the area. Waffle House Pigeon Forge is not real big. There are some booths for seating and some counter seating. You can see all the food being made behind the counter. My server brought me a Fresh Hot Cup of Coffee and a Water with Lemon. My bf ordered an Ice Tea. For our breakfast we both ordered A WAFFLE With SIDE MEAT- 2 Eggs over easy with Toast & Jelly; I chose Grits and a Waffle with 2 sausage patties. My bf ordered the same thing except he chose their Smithfield Ham. Everything was delicious especially their waffles which are a must. They were light and fluffy and had a wonderful taste to it. A cute touch was the Waffle House emblem on the Waffle. I also enjoyed their grits which came with lots of butter, what a treat for a northern girl. We both really enjoy our breakfast. ( it is a lot of food.) I chose to eat a little of everything. They have plenty of free parking in their lot along with some handicapped parking. This place is wheelchair accessible.Waffle House is open 24 hours.Their prices are reasonable. If you get a chance to experience a Waffle House I highly recommend it.

    FOOD- never fails to make me happy and to bring joy to my tummy SERVICE- Logan was our waiter and he was so great with me and all my little sisters. making butterfly shaped waffles, endless suply and refills on our vanilla coke, and good memories made for our girls trip. will definitely be coming back ! AMBIANCE- very welcoming and friendly i felt like i belong and they treat ya like family here !

    A hash brown I was able to pick up. That's the whole hash brown that was in the bowl

    First of all, night shift staff was rude and incompetent. Second of all the food was given to us so unorganized and we were expected to put our own food together. Once we got home all of our Hashbrowns weren't even good and burnt.

    DELICIOUS and AMAZING SERVICE! We loved it so much that we had breakfast here 3 times during our trip to Pigeon Forge. The breakfast was always perfect and everyone is so nice. Ashley took care of us both days and we would come back just for her! Way better than some of the "must-do" breakfast places in town.

    There was a decent sized line and half the restaurant was cordoned off for some unknown reason but the food was still Grade A Waffle House. We always fire up the cheesy eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast with the chocolate chip waffle and it never disappoints. The workers at Waffle House -- including this one -- are universally cheerful and awesome. So no matter if it's 10am or 10pm, they've got you covered!

    What a wonderful experience. My mother and I really wanted to go to a Waffle House while we were in Tennessee. It is a modern location and Ashley was a fantastic server. We were all satisfied with our meals. You should stop by.

    We went because me and my family were hungry and we stopped by and I was honestly disgusted and disappointed I ordered a steak and the steak tasted old it wasn't even cooked how I wanted it I ask for rare and I got well done the restrooms smell disgusting Never coming here again

    Pecan waffle
    Adam L.

    It had been almost 20 years since I'd been to a Waffle House, so figured I was due. I got the classic (a waffle), but they had pecan waffles for just a few more calories, so it's vacation, why not. Service was excellent and the waffle was as delicious as I remember. It's still Waffle House so for comparison sake it may not compete with the best homemade southern diner waffles, but they're very good at a great price.

I was having a rough day & chose Sunliner to try & make me feel better. Upon walking in I saw two full size car booths & a jukebox. The vibe was exactly what I was looking for. I'm happy to say we got HUNNY as our server & she was the best & she cheered me right up. She was wearing a bright yellow dress & singing along with the jukebox. We talked doo-wop songs & I got recommendations for what to order. I decided on Country Fried Chicken with Mashed Potatos & it did not disappoint. The shakes are also really good & come with a waffle on top. We ended up going back the next day (HUNNY was off) but we still had a nice time. Tried the chicken & waffles & biscuits & gravy this time. There really wasn't anything bad that we tried & if you're lucky, you might get HUNNY & have a 5 Star Experience like we did. Would I return for a third time? YES!

And then I looked again, hoping that maybe something low-calorie or nutrient-dense was hiding and I just needed to look harder. Nope. But if you're looking for a sandwich that consists of chicken tenders between two glazed donuts, then this is your place. Sawyer's has other things that are not so county-fair forward. They are known for breakfast: French toast, pancakes, omelettes. If you get pancakes or waffles or the like, you should definitely ask for their house-made peanut butter syrup. It's amazing and so unlike anything that I've ever tasted. I got an omelette, which was good and had a lot of stuff in it. They will give you hot sauce upon request, which I was grateful for because I thought the omelette needed it. One thing that's really cool about Sawyer's is that they seem to take food allergies very seriously. That's always nice to see! As you're entering or exiting, make sure to admire the decor. It looks like you're in a barn, and as you exit, there's a gift shop with stuffed animals, t-shirts and other things to commemorate your visit to Sawyer's. This is a fun little place that's great for families, for sure.
