The Old Mill is another must when visiting the Smoky Mountains. They have a great breakfast and a dinner. The meatloaf is my favorite. I would recommend making reservations because they stay very busy and you will be waiting a while. But, the wait is...

If you’re a fan of catfish, I highly recommend Huck Finn’s in Pigeon Forge. This is a family style restaurant. They give you so much food so you won’t leave hungry.

The Apple Barn and Cider Mill is a must. They are a family style restaurant but you order your choice of the main entree. The Apple fritters are a must and when you’re done eating, save room for a cold apple cider in the store.

Five Oaks is a definite must for dinner. Make reservations before you go. They have a great selection of food. Their meatloaf and fried chicken is so good.

If you’re looking to have a little fun while eating and can handle people being mean, Dick’s Last Resort is a fun place to eat. They have great food, but beware of the hateful comments. It’s all in fun!!!!

Crockett’s is one of our favorite places to eat for breakfast. They have so much to choose from and they give you enough to be full until dinner time. It is a must when visiting the Smoky Mountains.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be inside a hamster cage, here’s your chance. The outdoor gravity park is such a fun place to go. You can get inside a hydro ball and zip down the hill. It is so much fun, but be prepared to get wet!!

This is a fun little place to go for the kids to ride go carts and if you’re really adventurous, hop on the skyscraper and sling shot. There are even rides for the littles.
