My family goes to Gatlinburg every December, and for the past three years, my wife and 8 enjoy the seafood at the Chesapeakes restaurant in downtown Gatlinburg. We live in Savannah, Georgia, and let me tell you, the Chesapeakes is better than all of the seafood restaurants I've eaten at in all 9f Savannah, Georgia.
That’s great to hear!! We aren’t seafood fans and have mild allergies but that’s good to know
I love how you guys talk about the accessibility at these places. My parents are older and have mobility issues, so it helpful to know how accessible places are. Great content as always!
I had a uncle with mobility issues so once you are knowledgeable to look it’s something you always do naturally. Thanks so much for watching
I love these types of videos from the Smoky Mountain family, these are the kind that I put in my saved videos. Thank you.
Aww thanks so much Donna
Thank you for suggesting places off the beaten path that we all usually go to! Loved your reviews!
Great review. We'll have to put one of these on our list to keep for later. Those steaks and that Spaghetti on #2 looked delicious. Thanks for sharing.
Hope you guys are staying safe and dry down there! Be safe!!!
We’re in gatlinburg right now and watched this video on the way down. We took your suggestion and went to Smoky Mountain Brewery. Oh man. I’m so glad we did. We loved it so much we’re going back every time we’re down this way. Thanks so much for making this video! We’re staying in pigeon forge so I’ll have to watch your recommendations for pigeon forge too!
Thanks for the info we can’t believe all these great places we never knew of.Definitely looking for several of these restaurants when we head back next year.
Hey there thanks so much for watching we appreciate you
Thanks for another helpful video. I appreciate your honest reviews. I can’t wait to try Taste of Italy it looks so good.
Taste of Italy is amazing. Thanks for watching Debra we appreciate you
I have to say that this was the best restaurant review I have seen for Gatlinburg. Your explanations were perfect. Also, I am glad you mentioned Joe and Pops. That place is great!
That’s good to hear! Thanks so much glad you enjoyed
The blue moose has some killer wings and burgers
Love them! They made our top 5 pigeon forge
good video. thanks. going on the 28th of December and food loves me and I love it back.
Thank for this video! The wife and I will be checking out a few of these places next month.
Hope you have a great trip

Thanks for the great tips. Taste of Italy 🇮🇹 sounds awesome.
It is
We are gonna have to try Crystelle Creek, pretty much agreed with the rest of your list, thanx for all your vids, we love this channel!
Thanks so much for the continued support Bob
I just want to say thank you for your recommendations! I’m from Jersey and met my friend here for a mini vacay. We did The Alamo the first night but was stumped what to eat on the second. We rewatched your video and decided on taste of Italy. It didn’t disappoint!
Thats a great pick! Hope you had a great vacation
So many great restaurants to choose from! I only have two that I absolutely can not miss when I go to Gatlinburg. Those are Cherokee Grill and The Pancake Pantry. I dream of those two all year long 😂
Thank y’all for the good video I will be in Gatlinburg in October hope I run into y’all. Always with love love Mrs Dell 🤗
We hope you have a great trip!!
We are headed up for just a quick weekend stay next week. We were just talking about what new restaurants we could try since we come up normally twice a year. Thanks for the recommendations and thanks for what yall do. 😊
Thanks so much for watching Michael and hope you have a great vacation
Great video guys this is EXACTLY what I was looking for thanx a lot!
Awesome glad we could help! Thanks for watching we appreciate you
Nice video guys, we visited a few weeks ago and we always stay in the arts and crafts district. We passed Crystal creek 100 times and finally ate there, wow was it good. It's a must try for anyone. We love the Pottery House the most. Y'all are so great and we appreciate all you do. Keep it up Smoky mountain family
The pottery house is one of our favs as well. Thanks so much for watching Robert
Nice touch showing the menus. I wish more videos would do that.
We like No Way Jose's for Mexican.
Thanks so much for watching we appreciate you
Great video, would love to visit there one day. Thanks you guys.
Thanks so much for watching we appreciate you
Just found this video. We go to Gatlinburg at least once a year and have I never eaten at any of these restaurants. Always glad to hear of new places to try. We love the best Italian place on the strip since 1 calzone can easily feed two adults. Now I'll have to try the one you recommend, specially since I graduated from UK. Thanks!
If you like that place you will LOVE a taste of Italy its a totally different level. Thanks so much for watching Chris
Thanks for the list u like. Ate at Cherokee and the brewery. Need to try the others. Thanks eric
Thanks linda

Awsome awsome review love ur choices
Thanks as always justin!
I enjoyed watching your video. I found you all from J & B in the hills. I am a new subscriber to your channel. I like the way you describe the food. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Lillie we love John and Bobbi they are literally the sweetest people ever
We ate at Crystelle Creek last week and loved it. The food and atmosphere are awesome. Also appears to be common to see bears while you dine. One passed behind the restaurant while we were there.
That’s so cool!!
WOW! Another 5 star video! Love the upbeat, informative storytelling narration. Got a super good idea what all these restaurants offered and cost. I think that little Italy is superb as well!! The lasagna is life!!🔥🔥🔥 I'm to the point where I hit that thumbs up before I see the video because I knowww I'm going to enjoy it. ❤️ all y'all!
Wowww...
Thanks so much for the kind words. Taste of Italy is hands down the best Italian in town. Thanks so much as always!
Visiting again😊 Appreciate your content!
Our favorite is Cherokee Grill. We loved the food at Taste of Italy. Definitely authentic Italian fare, but I'll take the pizza at Best Italian over any in town. We also love the Brewery! We'd love to some day visit the Greenbrier since we've heard so many positive things about it. It's certainly a little pricey for us, but we wouldn't mind a nice evening dinner splurge during one of our visits in the future. Always nice seeing what the locals think, since we as tourists offer up our favorites every so often.
Cherokee is my fav too!!!
You guys recommended Smoky Mountain Brewery, so we ended up going there the last time I was in Gatlinburg. Within that week, I ate there 3x's. The food is great, and the parking on top of that, makes it gold. As you know we already love JOE & Pops. We're for sure going to have to try The Taste of Italy. Those folks have great taste!
Completely understandable with smoky mountain brewery especially with that menu of there’s they have everything
J.O.E and POP’s was one of our favorites. We ate at so many good places when we visited the Smokies last year for our honeymoon, but J.O.E and POP’s was only 5-10 mins from our cabin, so we ended up getting lunch there twice during the week and absolutely loved it! Highly recommend! Awesome video as always guys 😊
Thanks so much Kari
Is it still POPS CATFISH SHACK?
Spot on the Smoky Mountain Brewery this is always a must eat.👍😋 I wish we knew about the Taste of Italy 🇮🇹 , sometimes the strip mall restaurants are the best in my opinion 😏 Thanks for sharing 🤗
A taste of Italy is our fav Italian in the area for sure. Thanks so much for watching Pamela we appreciate you
Thanks for the video. Always love them. Any updates in Gatlinburg on the business being built where world of Illusions used to be? Jason Aldean rooftop bar?
We will have that video hopefully up next week. Major developments there for sure
Great info! Thanks! I know yall were hunting great smelling candles for fall and Christmas. Go to the Applewood Restaurant in Sevierville. They have great smelling candles in their gift shop. They have several great ones. Alot of things to see there.
We absolutely will. We are going there soon for some cider anyway ❤️
Great comparison sledgehammered that like button stay safe awesome and blessed sharing out full watch
Thanks as always guys!
I appreciate the “accessibility” part of the review as we plan to take my wc bound bro. I look forward to seeing your other reviews of the SM areas!
Thanks so much ❤️
Great list Fam! Love them all.
Thanks Steven ❤️
Wooow! My restaurant bucket list just got larger! Looks like some great picks!!! We've passed Joe and Pops, next time we are going in!
❤️ thanks so much for watching we appreciate you
My wife and I are taking our fifth wheel there at the end of April beginning of May. Thanks for the heads up. I will definitely be checking out some of these places that lasagna looked amazing.
Thanks so much for watching!
Ok I want to eat at all 😂 as always thank y’all for sharing another awesome video. Y’all freakin Rock.
Thanks Mike ❤️
Now I'm hungry..lol, all are great places and great food.
😂 ❤️ thanks for watching Kim
Great info. Thanks
The Cherokee Grill is now our favorite place also! I'm with Brittany on the teriyaki sirloin. It is soooooo good!!
Loovvvveeee it thanks so much for watching
They have a pumpkin cheesecake on Thanksgiving that's incredible
I'll have to try some of these..
Every time we go it's always the Applebarn and Bennetts BBQ..
Love those 2 places..
We kept these within Gatlinburg our pigeon forge one coming up we will stretch to include apple barn because it’s amazing! Thanks so much for watching
We were in Gatlinburg a few days ago and tried out a couple of you top five.
The Cherokee Grill was a bust for us. I had the teriyaki steak which I ordered medium well and it came out well done. It was very tough and it had no flavor. My son wasn't thrilled with the limited menu. My husband said his steak was okay. We were expecting more from all of the good reviews we had read about them. Maybe they were just having an off night when we were there.
We also checked out the Taste of Italy and it was very tasty! We couldn't believe how big the portions were. I had the Philly Cheesesteak and my son had a Chicken Parm sub. They were so big we just ate half and took the rest to the park the next day. My husband had a chicken pasta dish he said was delicious. We also liked the Garlic knots. Great tasting food and at a good price. The staff was very friendly and nice too.
You weren't having an off night, we had a TERRIBLE experience at the Cherokee. Walked out without eating our entree in fact. We never do that.
Thank you love these top fives
Thank you they are fun to make
Nice! Sounds like I need to pay a bit more attention to 321. Funny thing is we always hit the grocery after checking in and have seen the Italian place. Definitely will be checking it out. 🤤
Yesss Chris that place is sooo good
Eric, your narration is wonderful
Thank you Harold
Everything Autos send me. I like it. Thank you for doing the restaurant choices. It helps, for sure!
EA is awesome! Great people. Thanks so much for coming to check us out. Much appreciated!
Adding some to my list!
Thinking either the Greenbrair or Dancing bear for our anniversary!!
Both look good. If you do dancing bear let us know how it is
The food choices are endless I need to try all of these!
Solid choices here that one may not have have known about. Thanks as always!
@@SmokyMountainFamily could you do a video on the best Mexican restaurant if you get a chance
We finally got to try ctystalle creek this past week when we were up there. We were going to Alamo but switched it up based on yall's recommendation. We enjoyed the atmosphere and seated immediately. We ordered and got our food fairly quickly. However, I would have to disagree with it being better than Alamo (steak wise). The seasoning was good but not enough to put it above Alamo. Also listing all steaks at maket price doesn't help. Would go back for sure to try other items just not solely for steaks. Thank yall for all you do and helping us discover new places to eat.
Thanks Tony! We used to love Alamo the passed couple times we went had been a miss I guess it just depends on help. ❤️
Great video 👍 thank you 🙏 We have been coming to Gatlinburg sense 2008 and we never even heard about Crystelle Creek Restaurant. We will definitely need to try it out the next time we are in town. I look forward to seeing your next video/adventure. God Bless!
Crystal Is on highway 321, behind the Dollar store...Very nice place...I worked there many moons ago.. I need to film there too ..lol
@@TheGatlinburgHussey Thank you 🙏 I think you should film it if you can. We would definitely watch it. God Bless!
@@TheGatlinburgHussey I just subscribed to your channel, so now you have to film it, lol
@@markmorrow5411 haha ..I'll take that responsibility now ..lol. Thank you so much for subscribing!! ,🙏🌄🍁🐻
Thanks so much mark and hope you enjoy it as much as we did
Going to the Gatlinburg in October to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary. Gatlinburg is where we went on our honeymoon back in 1994. Cannot wait to try a place or two on your list.
Thats awesome, hope you have a great trip
I'm so glad we visit as often as possible. So many restaurants left to try, errrm, including these. No hate Eric. lol
Don’t sleep on these Marc lol. Solid choices here.
@@SmokyMountainFamily Had to go back and watch the last part, i got lost at Brittany's Taste of Italy lasagna. lol
Ive been to Gatlinburg once and I loved it…we ate at the Pancake Pantry & No Way Joes’s Cantina both were really good and both are a very short walk from the Aquarium
❤️
Good list, although I would have to say that my 2 visits to the Alamo were easily among the worst restaurant visits I've had in the 25 years I've been coming to the Smokies. Maybe because it was the one in Pigeon forge? Thanks for the tip for the Taste of Italy as well! Have been by many times and never thought to stop in.
Haven’t been to Greenbrier yet but agree with all your other choices.
There used to be a family owned Italian place in the strip mall across from the grocery store on 321 where this restaurant is now that had the best pizza at good prices but I think the owners retired and it was gone for a long time. Glad to see a Italian place is now there again. We will have to give it a try when we are next in Gatlinburg.
This is currently our favorite Italian spot. Thanks so much for watching.
A Taste of Italy is freak'n awesome. The owner is from NYC and very much an Italian mother. She's loud and talkative and in you face (but not in bad way, but a friendly way)...and LOVES people.
The food was great when we went in 2017.
I think they closed taste of italy unfortunately
A Taste of Italy...F-YEAH!!! The owner is from NYC, and loves it in Gatlinburg!!! She was awesome. Very much an Italian Mother!!!
You had me (Subscribed!) at KY Wildcats. Go Cats! Thanks for the info. We'll be in Gatlinburg tomorrow for fall break!
C.A.T.S. CATS CATS CATS!!!!! Hope you enjoy your your trip!
Some of these are a joke! This is just his opinion. He must not of ever left Tennessee to try different foods. I find that a lot with people who rate restaurants here.
@@Laura-bp6ox thanks for watching Laura!!!
we enjoyed that thank you.
Thanks for watching
Excellent selection! My personal favorite is Crystelle Creek - love the lasagna and spaghetti. Better than Taste of Italy for those two dishes even if TOI has a wider selection of fab Italian dishes.
Cherokee Grill is definitely tops. I've also enjoyed my one trip to the Greenbriar.
I've also eaten at Joe and Pops -- was very busy that day but the food was good. I'm with you though -- Skip the Alamo; it is not the best Johnson restaurant. I prefer Big Daddy's Pizza and Bennett's amazing Pit BBQ.
I like all those places you put in there. I've become a big fan of Crawdaddys over the past few yrs. If I Stay for 5 nights Brewery and ceawdaddys are staples. Best Italian either Alamo or Cherokee and Mello mushroom. Lunch I like the blue moose Fannie farkles breakfast is log cabin or old dads
Great selections. We also love log cabin for breakfast. Thanks so much for watching!
Anyone that need any recommendations on where to eat in the area, I highly suggest that they listen and watch what you recommend. I have tried multiple restaurants which Eric and Brittany have suggested and have never been steered wrong. Keep up the great videos. Stay Safe and God Bless
Aww thanks so much Tim
Very nice would love to visit ❤
Thanks for watching Jason
Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
we are going to gatlingburg for the new year up to the 8th of january and are hoping for at least a touch of snow, my kids have never seen snow and are hoping to get something considered snow from the sky lol
Hey there!!! Hope you guys had a great vacation and thanks for watching we appreciate you
Thank you!!
❤️
I hope this is where "I'm gonna say that ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING"!!!!! J & B in the Hills sent me, but I had found your channel several months ago and all your videos are great. Thanks
Thanks so much for watching. Catching up on comments.
Thanks so much Patricia we appreciate you
Trish’s dinner excellent out side of Gatlinburg is excellent . Home cooking where the locals go. Best bbq the worst I’ve been to. Delauders bbq was good to along with mamas kitchen
Can’t wait to try Trishs! It’s been on our list for a while. Thanks for watching Jeff we appreciate you
I can’t think of five, but I really like Crystelle Creek, Mellow Mushroom and Crokett’s Breakfast Camp
We will be doing a top 5 breakfast one in the future for sure
Agree with the list (haven't ate at 2 of them) but you are spot on as usual! Question....which best Italian restaurant are you talking about?? There are two, one is as aweful as the other one is fantastic!
Which one are you referring to is awful? I'll guess the one on the parkway vs the other in elks plaza. Lol
@@TheGatlinburgHussey Yes! For years we heard how great the best Italian was but had only been able to endure two visits because it was basically a joke. Then we discovered the REAL Best Italian in elks plaza and found all the great reviews were true! It would be like discovering a 5 star steak house named "McDonald's" lol
Honest answer we didn’t like either. We have a review on the elks plaza one where we talk about it
we LOVE the PEDDLER, salad bar is salad HEAVEN
We thought it was great and then believe it or not we ate at burg steakhouse which was not great but the salad bar was the absolute best we have ever had.
Good video, with some good foods, some are a little pricey..
That’s true. Thanks for watching Danny
Taste of Italy is fabulous
Agreed
Not in Gatlinburg, but the Old Mill in Pigeon Forge is great country cooking.
We love the pottery house cafe it’s in our top 5 pigeon forge
I liked a lot of your restaurant picks! Ummm, well, the one kind of bothered me about the Kentucky Wildcat thing 🤬BUT, I can let that slide 😁Job well done, my friends! There are so many great places to eat in that area, it is so hard to pick a favorite! The great thing is, there is something for everyone food wise in the Great Smoky Mountains!
So true William thanks so much for watching
I miss that food city lol .. lived down the rd from there lol …
We do too!
Just caught the video while recovering from covid. When I saw Cherokee Grill was first on your list I knew we were kindred spirits.
With the Burg undergoing so many changes, not good changes, it’s nice to see a familiar favorite restaurant surviving. In addition to the awesome food and environment it has history from spending time there with someone special and it takes me back every time I go in there.
Another place I suggest is the Park Vista Hotel restaurant for breakfast. It’s a little pricey for breakfast but everything is included.
This video has made me look forward to my next trip, and I will try out the new places you suggested!
Aww thanks so much. We haven’t tried breakfast there we did lunch and loved it especially the view. Will definitely be trying
we have been to all but green-briar and the food is good
Tell ‘em about Joe and pops Dennis! Lol.
The original Best Italian Restaurant was incredible. It was much smaller and ran by an old Italian couple that would argue in Italian while we ate! That was early 90`s??
That sounds awesome
Or u can go to the original best Italian elks plaza free parking and full service since 1976
We have done that before as well. Not our personal favorite either. Thanks so much for watching Daniel we appreciate you.
Always have wanted to go to greenbriar. We will be up there on October 9-12
Hit us up when you do guys!!!
Will do!!
Don't forget to look for their ghost- Lydia.
Thanks we're going in January
Hope you have a great trip Bobby! Thanks for watching we appreciate you
Subbed after the Kentucky wildcats mention
C A T S CATS CATS CATS!!!! #bbn!!!!
Thank you been to all except Joe and Pops
It’s a great one
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I used to work at the Taste of Italy and the sauce is from a can and they just add spices to it ..lol Great video as always!! As a local, Smith and Sons is pretty darn good ... surprisingly
Maybe they have changed since you worked there because we seen them making it when we were there
@@SmokyMountainFamily ahh, maybe ...ok, I stand corrected 😜🙏
Not saying you were incorrect at at, the only reason it was mentioned on the video was due to ownership taking me to the kitchen to show the process and talk about the restaurant. All good brother!
@@SmokyMountainFamily I understand completely 🙏 Was the owner Geri or Harold, with a cowboy hat? I'm SHOCKED they let you in the kitchen ..They're from Brooklyn and No one went back there when I was there ...lol. 😜
@@TheGatlinburgHussey I am curious to know now!
