You can work up a powerful appetite here in the Great Smoky Mountains. Between hiking, rafting, tubing, ziplining, fishing, paddling, sightseeing, shopping, and visiting various theme parks, you'll be hungry enough to eat a horse – or at least a heaping platter of hearty Southern fare!
1. The Great Smoky Mountain Murder Mystery Dinner Show
Wherever Guy Fieri opens a Chicken Guy! Restaurant, it's always a smash success.
It's time for that rare experience: a leisurely, hot pancake breakfast. Not cooked by a family member at your Smokies rental cabin, but served to you in a restaurant-where no one on vacation has to make everything and then clean up afterwards. Eat it all, and then walk (or waddle) away. Here are some out-of-the-ordinary breakfast treats you really should try while in our area. All of them are locally owned establishments. There are more locations, and some excellent chain choices available, but consider starting with these.
Some of our guests like to leave their alarm off and snuggle deeper into the pillows in their Wears Valley, TN cabin rental. Others want to rise early and get a tasty start on their adventures for the day. Here are some suggestions for that most important first meal of the day, with menus and operating hours provided.
