Naturally aged steaks are cut tableside to your specification and grilled over real Tennessee hickory charcoal. At times, the wait can be lengthy, but once you experience The Peddler, you'll know why!

When the Pancake Pantry opened in 1960, it was Tennessee’s first and only pancake house. Now, over fifty years later, there is not a shortage of pancake houses in East Tennessee. However, only one pancake house consistently has a line out the door more days than not – the Pancake Pantry in downtown Gatlinburg. This historic Smoky Mountain eatery is one of the more “famous” restaurants in the area and manages to draw tons of loyal customers every single day.

"This park has something for everyone! If unable to do hikes, the scenic drives and overlooks are amazing. The hikes range in difficulty, with ones like Laurel Falls being relatively easy to Chimney Tops being fairly difficult. Great place for picnics, wildlife viewing (animals and butterflies), hiking, and just being out in nature!"

"Half mile steep hike up paved road. Trail begins in North Carolina, but the "dome" is actually partially in Tennessee, making this the highest point in TN. After the hike there is a majestic view over the smokies. Well worth the hike!"

"We had a great experience with our rental! The equipment is very well kept. My family chose to rent for four hours and get the fifth hour free. We were able to go up to Clingman’s Dome and over to Greenbrier. The staff is super friendly and helpful. This adventure was well worth the money for my family. We will be renting from this same place again."

You will not be disappointed! The General Store is a perfect stop for souvenirs and you can usually score a BOGO coupon for the chair lift. Once at the top, they serve free bottled water and moon pies that you can enjoy in a rocking chair with a beautiful view, or playing checkers with the family. The horse back riding option is wonderful for kiddos! They have the best guides around.

Dollywood is an excellent, family friendly option when visiting the Smokies. Unfortunately, there aren't many discounts available but you can bring a bottle of water and refill inside. if you're a large family, consider purchasing one Gold pass which will come with free parking, $10 off all other purchased tickets and 15% off merch and food once in the park.
