We decided to eat breakfast at the Log Cabin Pancake House on a Friday morning. Even though the streets in Gatlinburg where pretty deserted, the Log Cabin Pancake House was very busy. After a short wait we took a table in the smoking section right in front of a huge fireplace. The restaurant is housed in a very unique log building, with two large stone fireplaces, one on each side of the building.
After being seated we looked over the menu, which had a large array of pancakes, waffles, eggs, and omelet dishes. We both decide on omelets and placed our orders, and what I would guess was less than five minutes we had our food. Each omelet also came with three good-sized pancakes, so it’s pretty hard to leave the place hungry. The food was very good, with the omelets being made exactly as we had ordered them. The pancakes were delicious too.
We went back for lunch on Sunday. They close at 2pm by the way on Sundays. I had their lunch buffet this time. The buffet had a hot and cold section. The cold section was a typical salad bar. Everything on the salad bar looked and tasted very fresh. The hot section was not huge but had a good selection, with three meats (ham, chicken, and a steak in gravy), a couple of vegetables, a couple of potato dishes, and a few other dishes. All in all it was very good.
Make sure you bring cash because they do not except credit cards or checks, but they do have an ATM on-site. I did not see where it was, but I’d bet it had a nice surcharge for using it.
