Those are some great picks, Irwin! We’ve tried all of the restaurants that you’ve mentioned except for Seasons 101 and the Tapas Grill. We agree that all of those that you mention are excellent options except our family was not fond of Trotters. We are willing to give every restaurant a 2nd chance but we all felt sick after eating there, the service was not great, and most of the food was cold. We also semi-agree about your thoughts on the the long lines, but long lines can be created based on good marketing (engaging brochures at the hotels, etc.) and a good location (convenience and visibility). The Peddler is not bad but we believe it’s popular due to its location. All of the other ones have shut down in our state but this one remains open due to its location, views, and scarcity of other great competition with steakhouses. Another example of where long lines don’t equate to the best is the Pancake Pantry. They have the lowest overall rating between Log Cabin Pancake House, Little House of Pancakes, and Crocketts on Google reviews….again, it’s a long line, but it’s convenient. We’ll definitely have to give Tapas and Seasons 101 a try soon. @irwingreen7764

Log Cabin pancake house and the Blue Moose are both amazing. There so many great ones in the area. Thanks for watching, Marc. We hope that you have an amazing weekend.

That’s a great idea. We can definitely consider a “Mom and Pop” restaurant list. None of the restaurants mentioned in this video are chains. With the exception of Tennessee Jed’s (with 2 locations in Gatlinburg) and eventually Pinchy’s, all of the top 10 are 1 of a kind and independently owned. They’re all independently owned. The boys also played a role in deciding which restaurants we chose for this video. Thanks for watching and thanks again for sharing your ideas. We will definitely take those into consideration for ideas for upcoming videos.

What are some of your go things to order there? We’ve only gone once, but are willing to give it a second try sometime.

@scpatriot5270 We didn’t mention it in the video, but the numbers were in no particular order, just our top 10.

We're with you - it's such an incredible restaurant. We hope that you have an amazing weekend, Tiffany.

Thank you so much, Kelly! Hopefully you'll make a trip to the Smokies one day. We would love to visit Wyoming sometime. Jennifer visited as a child but hasn't been back since. We hope that you have a great weekend.

Both are excellent options for sure.

Both are good but you might want to try Seasons 101 (chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries), LeConte Tapas (new and try the short rib Arancini appetizer)and Azul (also new and the Tomahawk Pork Chop). And Olga's Yodel for Cinnamon Rolls!

Thank you! We really appreciate that. We're with you - there are just too many great options in the area. We hope that you have an amazing weekend.

We agree and we’re so glad to hear that you love it too! Honestly, it’s the best we’ve probably had in TN. The catfish houses in Nashville and in between are all okay, but Paw Paw’s has the best.

Our favorite time to go to Gatlinburg is the first week in January! No crowds, no traffic, no waiting, Christmas lights are still on, and we have the whole place to ourselves. We can stay in downtown Gatlinburg for $150 total for 5 nights too! Cades Cove & the Dome are empty & beautiful too. We're going Jan 5-10th. Can't wait.

@@solotraveler3 You will love it during that time of the year. The weather is perfect and if you go in late October, the leaves are starting to change too. Enjoy!

@@irwingreen7764 we second this comment. This is solid advice. January is an amazing time to visit (except MLK weekend has been very busy the past 2 or 3 years). You can also get some great BOGO deals Monday through Thursday at many restaurants since it’s the slow season. You can even get buy one, get one free steaks at Alamo.

Thank you, Cathy! You are so correct - there's so many to choose from. So many so that when we made the list, Jennifer said, "can we make a top 15?" lol. That's so much for your kind comment and we hope that you have an amazing weekend.

Thank you, Joe! They have some excellent food and that outside eating area is very relaxing. We hope that you have an excellent weekend.

Thank you, Brock! We really appreciate that. We hope that you have an awesome weekend.

Thank you, Donna! We really appreciate that and we're glad to hear that you enjoyed watching it. We hope that you have an amazing trip and we'd love to hear what your thoughts are on the restaurants once you get to try them. Have a nice weekend.

Thank you, Carla! Their catfish is so delicious, but they really don't miss with any of their offerings. The cinnamon roll is huge but it's not very sweet. Some people like that, but we like sweet cinnamon rolls. We hope that you're having a wonderful start to your weekend, Carla.

@@EveryDayIsSaturdayTV You're welcome! Thank you, I am! And hope you are as well.

That's a great place for breakfast! We enjoy it as well. Have a great weekend, Robert.

Thank you, Kathy! We appreciate that and hope that you have a nice weekend.

Thank you, Pamela! We appreciate that and hope that you have a Happy 4th of July!

Thank you, AR Glover! We hope that you have an excellent weekend.

Thank you so much, Lori! We appreciate you so much and thank you for your kind comments. We hope that you have an excellent weekend.

Thank you 😊

Those are all solid choices! Thanks for watching, @crazybaby418. We hope that you have a great weekend.

@@EveryDayIsSaturdayTV You guys too

Thank you, Michael! There's a lot of amazing restaurants to choose from in the Smokies for sure. We appreciate you and hope that you're having an amazing start to your weekend.

@@EveryDayIsSaturdayTV Thanks have Bless Weekend

Thank you for the recommendation, Kathy. We just looked it up and the food looks delicious! We'll have to check it out sometime for sure. Thanks for watching and we hope that you have an amazing weekend.

Thank you, Steve and Veronica! That is such a kind compliment and we're glad that y'all enjoyed it. We enjoy your videos as well and hope that y'all have an amazing weekend.

Thank you, Chad! We are with you and actually enjoy West By God's pizza more, but the service has been lacking (or non-existent) during our last couple of visits there. The other restaurants that you mentioned are all amazing too. We'll have to check out the wings at the brewery the next time we're there. We hope that you have an excellent weekend!

You would love the horseradish crusted steak at Alamo. The Alamo is one of our favorites but when they're having an off day, it's really off - but on their good days, it's amazing!! We hope that you're able to try some deept fried deviled eggs soon. They're so good! Thank you for watching, Candace! We hope that you have an amazing weekend.

Welcome to Tennessee!! That's so exciting. That sounds like our kind of place. We may have to check that one out very soon. Thanks for letting us know about Hillbilly's Smoky Mountain Diner. The salad and fruit bar sounds like a good addition too - you don't see that too often at BBQ places. Thanks for letting us know about this place and we'll definitely put it on our list of places to try. We hope that you have a nice weekend, Dennis.

Thanks so much for watching, Starace! We hope that you have an amazing weekend.

We have tried to go there once but the Google listing and their Facebook page didn't match their actual hours. We plan to try to return there again one day soon.

Thanks for the recommendation, Deed. We've added it to our places to try and will have to check it out the next time we're in Hixson. We're big Shaquille O' Neal fans too.

Thanks for the recommendation. We have visited there before and really enjoyed it.
