Hello! Just ran across your channel and video. We are locals to the area, and agree on most of the places. There's so many to choose from. Great review.
I have to agree with you! My family loves all 3 of these places, and we have to visit them all when we come for a weeks stay. They are all quintessential Gatlinburg icons! If you need a great lunch, I have to recommend the Log Cabin Pancake House. The beef vegetable soup is fantastic.
I'm kind of a syrup snob. Thick syrup usually means 100% high fructose corn syrup. Light, 'watery' syrup is likely a natural maple syrup. Do you have any idea if maybe the last restaurant was 100% maple syrup?
Yep it’s expensive but so so worth it. I bet most places might mix in a bulk hfc based syrup with a little real maple syrup just to save money. That or they add various ingredients that imitate the real thing. I think when our family goes later this month we’re going to choose Crocketts because of the atmosphere and the food presentation-it really shows forth the quality ingredients. That and I saw on another video they also do buckwheat pancakes (my fav!) I’m probably going to go with corned beef hash too like you did. Thanks for the video!
I tried Pancake Pantry and it was fine. I arrived about 10 minutes before it opened and was eating when the place filled up - great tip! I walked past Crockett's several times - gotta try that hash on my next trip. I must say that service in the area was excellent everywhere.
Thanks for sharing your experience! I agree about the pancake pantry - did you try the berry pancakes? The hash at Crockett is definitely worth trying! Totally agree. The service was really great at every stop I went to!
Looking to get a copy of your guide but I'm in the UK so don't have a US phone number, do you have a dummy number I can input without messing anything up for you?
Hey! For sure - feel free to put in any dummy number. No problem at all! If you can't get it to work just send a quick email to the address on the channel and we'll get a copy over to you! Thank you so much for watching!
Oh and in answer to your coffe question, tea please! Nothing like a good 'ol British stereotype! I realise I'm goingto struggle for decent (Yorkshire) tea in Tennessee!!!!!
LOL! Yep - there's no Fortnum and Mason around here. :-) I did pick up some great tea there when my wife and I visited London back in 2015 to bring back with us... I really enjoyed having some white tea w/ two sugars every morning while visiting. Super fun experience.
We've been to Crockett's twice and the only thing they had going for them was the AMOUNT of food you get but it is mediocre at best. It's like Cracker Barrel on steroids. Same food, just more of it. It's just hard to mess up eggs, ham, & biscuits and they all taste about the same everywhere. So we heard ravings about the cinnamon roll and we got ours to go and it came with no icing! (Go to Olga's Yodel if you want a truly great cinnamon roll). We've been to Log Cabin several times and it was mediocre at best too on everything we got. Pass. If you've been to Pancake Pantry before then why on earth are you ordering anything other than their specialty pancakes???? You should know better! Nobody is even close to them in Pancake World! Lol. (Plus the French Toast is awesome!) Next time be smarter and compare apples to apples and put Crockett's against Old Mill, Five Oaks, and Applewood for the best down home country breakfast. But in pancakes, the Pantry's signature pancakes stand alone. The rest we can get similar around hime but pancakes Pantry good, are only at the Pantry! BTW, that thin runny syrup is what REAL maple syrup looks and tastes like.
LOL! I mean... I had to try something other than the pancakes! 😂 Thanks so much for sharing. You're not wrong at all - if you're looking for Pancakes - the Pancake Pantry is where it's at!
@@VisitingGatlinburg-PigeonForge Next time go to the Pantry and get the French Toast, it's a food-gasm waiting to happen. Lol. Some lady told me to try the orange-walnut pancakes & they're excellent too but never something I'd have ordered on my own. My wife says you need to also get a side of crispy bacon to balance out the sweet/salty stuff. Lol. Seems to make her happy. We enjoy your Vlogs.
Ok one thing you forgot to mention is when its cold out side is when you go to the pantry its cold you stand outside also the same at crocketts. When you go to the log cabin pancake you stand out on the porch but theres a heater above you so you stay warm while waiting. You never got the same food at the resturants so you really didnt compare much. You didnt try the eggs or taters at logcabin
Ooooo - someone who loves Log Cabin I see! You're totally right. When I made the video it was actually early March so there wasn't a whole lot of people to wait on. Great points! Thanks for sharing!!!
Pancake Pantry is hands down my favorite! It’s a must do stop for us every time we visit Gatlinburg! Most amazing French toast with cinnamon syrup.
Oooo... I gotta try that dish next time!

Thank you so much for watching! Means the world! What’s your favorite place for breakfast?
@@VisitingGatlinburg-PigeonForge Sawyers, Frizzle Chicken, Reagans, and Flapjacks.
Nice! Gotta try fizzle chicken. Haven’t been there!
@@VisitingGatlinburg-PigeonForge The best price, great amount of food, and THE SHOW!! That's all I will say, LOL
Very helpful video!
Thanks so much! I hope it helps point you in the right direction during your visit! So many great options to choose from!

Very cool - Thanks for sharing!!! I’ve never had lunch at log cabin. I’ve only ever gone for breakfast… I have to try lunch next time!

TBH - I don't exactly remember... but I think it was more like a natural maple syrup! I do love me good syrup!

I agree with you.
Do these resturants have options for kids
That's a great question! I think they do - but honestly I wasn't paying attention while there so I can't say for sure.

Pancake Pantry. Our Eggs were scrambled 2 hours before we got there. Cold & Thin. Bacon was way overcooked.
So you liked the Pancake Pantry the best or no?
I can have coffee black. But typically I'm a three cream one sugar guy.
I drink my coffee black too!
The few, the proud!
Crockett is the best I would eat there all the time if I lived there..I’d weigh about 600 lbs
I know… right!?!?
