When you go to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, Pancakes are a must. There are numerous local Pancake houses in the area and they are popular. If you go, go early or be prepared to wait in line.

Here in Gatlinburg, we tried the Log Cabin Pancake House, located on the Historic Nature Trail. We really didn't have to wait, since we came early on a Monday morning. It is what you would expect of a Tennessee Pancake House. Lots of different varieties of Pancakes and Waffles. You can have alternatives to Pancakes and Waffles, but what's the point of that? Service was prompt, and our waitress was friendly, and kept my coffee cup filled. Prices are reasonable for getting stuffed. Lots of calories will be consumed, so just be prepared for that. For me, it's not something I would eat every morning, but you should try it at least once. Other places to consider are the Pancake Pantry, The River Road Pancake House, and Flapjacks Pancake Cabin. I think we'll go lower calories tomorrow, and get in some Smoky Mountain Hiking!
