June 15, 201214 yr Can't go wrong with the Apple Barn! Fried applie pies from there are awesome. Good call! :thumb:
June 15, 201214 yr From the we-are-all-different reality: You couldn't pay me to go to Gatlinburg. Not my cup of tea.
June 15, 201214 yr Thanks for the suggestions. Keep them coming. What are some sight seeing things to do as well? Clingmans Dome offers a great view but the ash borer has really ravaged the surrounding trees.
June 15, 201214 yr It's been several years since we've been. Our favorite haunts were the Old Mill and Applewood. Used to eat breakfast at a place called Bobo's Pie House, but I think that's long gone.
June 15, 201214 yr Thanks for the suggestions. Keep them coming. What are some sight seeing things to do as well? Even though we're not "outdoorsy", we would generally find a short hike or two that weren't too far off the beaten track. Also enjoyed the Cades Cove drive.
June 15, 201214 yr Author From the we-are-all-different reality: You couldn't pay me to go to Gatlinburg. Not my cup of tea. I like the outdoors part but not all the shows. I would rather go somewhere else as well but my daughter's dance competition takes us there. Last summer it was Branson.
June 15, 201214 yr Calhoun's for ribs in Gatlinburg is great. Nice selection of other items too but i can never pass up the ribs. They have a location in Pigeon Forge now too but i have never tried it. Apple Barn and Old Mill are both awesome. The Mellow Mushroom pizza in Pigeon Forge is unique if you have never eaten at one.

We ate at the Calhoun's in Pigeon Forge back in April. It was good just like the locations in Nashville.
June 15, 201214 yr The old Mill is my favorite resturant there. Go early around 4-5 or you will have to wait in line. Huge portions, so some of you may want to share a meal. we ate at a new place last fall. Pear...??? right beside the Christmas store in Peigon Forge. Again huge portions and a little $$ so sharing a meal is a good ideal. I think it's called The Partridge and Pear (Tree) Restaurant.
June 15, 201214 yr Even though we're not "outdoorsy", we would generally find a short hike or two that weren't too far off the beaten track. Also enjoyed the Cades Cove drive. We had a great trip to Cades Cove. Got there about an hour before dark, which is perfect for seeing a lot of wildlife. Saw at least 50 deer, several wild turkeys and about 7 bears.
June 15, 201214 yr Roaring Fork Road is a nice little loop that you can drive thorugh the mountains and get some great views without getting too far out of Gatlinburg. We stopped and hiked up to Grotto Falls. It is very rewarding once you get there, but the hike up was pretty tough for a fat boy like me.
June 15, 201214 yr I think it's called The Partridge and Pear (Tree) Restaurant. That may be it. They had all of these desserts lined up as you walked in. They were really good to. Hard to decide which one to get. Also there is this little sandwich shop in Gatlinburg, Mouse Trap, I believe is the name. It is up stairs of the shop, in the little shopping village where the pancake house is. Awsome sandwiches!!!!
