From national chains like Outback Steakhouse, TGI Friday's, and Applebee's to treasured local favorites like Copper Kettle Pancake House, Alamo Steakhouse, and Bennett's Pit Bar-B-Que, you'll find more Gatlinburg dining options than you ever thought possible.

If you'll be dining with a group, it's best to call the restaurant ahead of time to make sure they can accommodate you.  It may be necessary to make a reservation.

If you're not sure where to eat first, ask the locals what some of their favorite Gatlinburg restaurants are.  Most people are more than happy to share their favorite dining spots with you, and they'll be your best resources for pinpointing the best food and service the area has to offer.  Another good resource for restaurant information is the phone book yellow pages, and you'll most likely find one in your hotel room or cabin.  You could also check with the chamber of commerce or convention and visitor's bureau, since they will probably have restaurant information brochures available.
