For great pancakes, this is the place. My favorite is the orange with black walnuts. It comes with a thick orange syrup that is wonderful. The sweet potato pancakes are very good also. My son had the Carribean pancakes that are filled with bananas, coconut, & pecans. We really enjoyed this restaurant.

We stopped here based on a reccommendation from my boss, who visits Gatlinburg a lot and let me tell you, the food was awesome! And the portions were huge...I can usually eat a lot and I couldn't even finish the enormous plate of blueberry pancakes. My bf got the cherry waffles and he really liked them, too. The only complaint... More

I went to this restaurant because I always see a line of people waiting to get in. Today there wasn't so we went. They have every kind of pancake you could imagine so maybe that is the draw. However, I thought the food was just Ok and it took awhile to pay since I had to wait in line for... More

I didn't love the atmosphere of the place, but that's just personal preference. The food was decent but it was sort of inconvenient that they don't take credit cards and only have a fee atm. I thought that was poor customer service.

My husband and I stopped here since we were honeymooning in the area. We had been to the Pancake Pantry in Nashville and had a great experience, even if we had to wait in line for a little while. So we thought we'd try the one in Gatlinburg. We really weren't that impressed. The building itself is beautiful and they... More

This is a popular pancake house in the heart of downtown Gatlinburg and it can be very busy at times but it's worth the wait. They have a lunch menu but breakfast is available all day and that's all I've ever had there (great pancakes!). Warning: they accept only cash but at ATM is available in the restaurant so it's...

Many good-tasting choices on the menu. Pecan pancakes with pecan butter were my absolutele favorites. Place is slightly crowded, but tolerable. Only complaint is that the restrooms are up a flight of stairs.

Yep, I am bragging on the humble pancake. What do they put in those pancakes? I had regular buttermilk pancakes. Wow! Just amazing! My friend had crepes. Wow! What is in the filling of those crepes? So worth going! Bathrooms are upstairs by the way.

Orange and walnut pancakes were FANTASTIC! I should have just ordered the pancakes because you get so many. Be careful ordering the side items if you get the specialty pancakes because your check adds up quickly.

My husband went to school in Nashville, so we have been to the original Pancake Pantry, but it was such a nice treat to see that there was one in Gatlinburg. Every morning the line outside this place is wrapped around the building. We waited until Monday morning when things were A LITTLE quieter (it was still busy, but no... More
