As you travel through the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee, make sure you start your day with amazing food at one of the many famous breakfast stops! Check out our top three restaurants specializing in all things breakfast, each with a unique story to tell and incredible food to serve.
Our first stop has been a Gatlinburg favorite since 1960 called the Pancake Pantry, serving delicious recipes made from scratch every morning!. Fill your plate with one of 24 varieties of pancakes, like “Sweet Potato Pancakes,” “Parisienne Pancakes,” or “Banana Apple Triumph!” But they’re a lot more than just pancakes; check out their full menu. They are open from 7 a.m. – 4 p.m. June–October and 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. November–May (closed for Thanksgiving and Christmas). View more information on location, parking, and more. Don’t bring your credit card, this Smokies treasure only takes cash! Don’t worry, though, they have an ATM available.
Originally established in a little cabin in the Great Smoky Mountains, Flapjack’s Pancake Cabin has quickly become one of America’s most popular pancake restaurants! With locations in Kodak, Gatlinburg, and Sevierville, Tennessee, as well on the East Coast in Garden City Beach, South Carolina, you can’t miss this famous breakfast stop! Check out their fan-favorite “Sticky Bun” pancakes, or load up your plate with an “Elkmont Egg Platter” featuring pancakes, breakfast meats, and eggs. But that’s not all! Check out their full menu of mouth-watering dishes to start your day! They are open at all locations from 7 a.m. – 1 p.m., you can’t miss this fantastic breakfast stop. View more information on their locations.
Our last stop is at Crockett’s Breakfast Camp. Loaded with history and some of Tennessee’s finest breakfast food, the restaurant features an all-immersive mountain cabin experience (check out their virtual tour!). Your mouth will water at their wide selection of griddle cakes, eggs and signature dishes called “Crockett Maples” (fried cinnamon rolls anyone?). While you’re there, learn about the history of the restaurant’s namesake, David C. “Crockett” Maples, frontiersman and honored soldier. Crockett’s Breakfast Camp in Gatlinburg is open Monday through Sunday, from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Head to their website to check out their full menu or read up on the restaurant’s history.
