Tennessee Travel | Must-Try Foods in the Smoky Mountains ⛰️

When visiting the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee, prepare for a hearty taste of rustic Southern cuisine! The area has two main towns: Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg (which gets crazy crowded—expect 30+ minute waits even off-peak, and 1+ hours for popular brunch spots). After hiking, starving while waiting in line is not ideal—plan ahead! 😂 Brunch Spots ☕️ ▫️ Crockett’s 1875 Breakfast Camp – Massive Southern breakfasts ▫️ Ruby Sunshine – NOLA-style coffee, banana French toast, and their famous Trifecta (three-flavor sampler) ▫️ The Old Mill Pottery House Cafe – Cozy biscuits & grits Dinner Favorites 🍽️ ▫️ Mel‘s Classic Diner – Fluffy pancakes to die for 😋 ▫️ Bennett’s Pit BBQ – Fall-off-the-bone hog legs � ▫️ Huck Finn's Catfish – Crispy fried catfish 🐟 Quick Bites 🌭 ▫️ Hot Diggity Dawg – Juicy hot dogs ▫️ Flapjack‘s Pancake Cabin – Decadent crepes and waffles 🧇 #TennesseeEats #SmokyMountains #SouthernFood #USATravel #FoodieFinds #BrunchLover #BBQ #FriedCatfish #TravelGuide #FoodDiaries #EatLikeALocal
