Man you really need to try the corn dog at Fannie Farkle. It not like any corn dog you ever tasted before. Its a secret recipe and its awesome. One corn dog is also enough for two people to eat if your not super hungry. Then the best breakfast in all of Tennessee is hands down is the Crockett's Breakfast Camp The long wait is well worth it. There pancakes are to die for. The best pancake on earth hands down. There post master breakfast combo is served in a iron skillet. Its the best breakfast you will ever have even if you skip the pancakes. Then there cinnamon buns are on another level. Those three items will leave you in disbelief you just had a breakfast this good. Hence why is so popular and always as long wait. Great Video.

If she is a service dog, unless she is being unruly (which would be rare for a service dog), they have to allow her...I did have one of the Flap Jacks in Gatlinburg, the one on the north side of town, tell me the dog had to walk in (as opposed being carried in a back pack), which doesn't make any sense, I could have waited for a manager, but just didn't want to promote a restaurant like that, so just want to another restaurant.

Nice overview Randy & Bella. I have mixed feelings about this place. The beauty of the region ARE the Smokey Mtns and scenery. The amusement circus of attractions diminish this beauty imo. Eateries,hotels, music and performers of the area, Trades craftsman making replicas of its history are what could make this become a part of the natural setting.
