Funny how Dawn always looks scared. Smile 😁

[@ms.tep_]

Beautiful scenery!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@lorisanders5984]

Hey 😊#1

[@useful.knowledge]

Hey great to meet you folks at Crockett’s Breakfast Camp this morning. Thanks for the tip on eating here. This place is awesome!

[@yankeeinthesouth]

It was nice meeting you Useful Knowledge

[@alphillips6158]

Really enjoy these videos. Let's us see what's there and want to visit. Thank for sharing.

[@gmed2]

We were so happy to meet you both! It was the highlight of my day 😊 We are now safely back in Ohio. Thanks for all your great videos, I have been watching for a long time and have a list of things to do in the Smokies after watching ur vids! I enjoy the combination of restaurants and hiking 🥾 perfect day! God Bless you both 🙏

[@carwashindad]

Well......im sold.... always wondered about Crocketts and now I know. We always tend to stuck to what we know but after watching your reviews on here and Elviras..... yeah changing it up. We did find a nice little place over in Townsend.... Apple Barn I believe.... im probably wrong on the name but the chicken salad is outta this world and the fries...omg

[@gpritchard9936]

I've eaten at Crocketts a few times while in Gatlinburg. I hope to go back there again one day ! Thanks for the video.

[@dawnlosch4399]

We got the cinn rolls to bring back to our cabin for breakfast the next day!!

[@KentuckyGirl]

Wow! what a breakfast. I loved seeing the mist over the waters, where the cold water met the warm air.

[@verashular3116]

My favorite place to eat there is the Pancake Pantry. I have never tried that restaurant.

[@janicelivingston7759]

We go to Pancake Pantry just for the sandwiches at lunch! Lived here all our lives;)

[@irwingreen7764]

For pancakes & French Toast (it's fabulous!) it doesn't get any better than Pancake Pantry!! Crockett's is okay but the food is mediocre but there's lots of it. Five Oaks across from Tanger Outlets is owned by the same company as Crockett's & has the same food but very little, if any, wait. (And their cinnamon rolls are better too.)

[@nancyriggs426]

Thanks so much for the great video I have never eaten at Crocketts for breakfast it looked awesome great I will have to give it try when we come in in Sept. Thanks so much guys for all your videos they are such a delight & enjoyment to watch

[@rickyewallace7205]

Hi guys , great looking breakfast and beautiful hike .

[@dsquared1956]

Love these guys.. at first I will admit...I said to myself...oh boy....but after just a bit .....it felt like 2 of my friends send us a travelog.....love it...

[@flbuckeye8106]

Our favorite breakfast place! It’s a must in Gatlinburg. Those skillets make you flex. Thanks for the awesome episode. Nothing like breakfast and a hike.

[@felkerforcongress]

You know crockets is good when you remember the servers name. Guy name Matt(we saw in background) was the best ever. Great video great memories we are making there. Thank you for sharing!

[@stevebeck57]

We hiked that trail on our 40th wedding anniversary. I can remember seeing a lot of the things you videoed. Really great time and thanks for the update.❤️👍🏼

[@534juvinille]

That place is amazing I also like the old mill in pidgeon forge tn

[@davidlipscomb5749]

Thanks for your help on all the places you've visited! I completely agree that Crocketts is the best breakfast in Gatlinburg!

[@beulaholine8637]

I remember the Sugarlands. We stopped there on our rides through the Parkway. I wish we walked the trail too. It looked like it would have been a great walk. Thanks for the video.

[@irwingreen7764]

Hey Will & Dawn, there's a new shop just recently opened in Gatlinburg called Olga's Yodel Cinnamon Rolls. It's on Glades Rd and her rolls look delicious! I already messaged the owner and told her to save a Smores roll for me for our visit in May. Lol. It reminds me of the Donut Friar on the inside, small but awesome.

[@bradwedge8276]

As ice have stated before I appreciate your honesty when you do your reviews in your videos that means a lot.

[@bradwedge8276]

[@larryhagemann5548]

Thank you very much. We are heading there next Spring and look forward to the visit.

[@lisawilson5662]

Love the Log Cabin Pancake House in GB and their French Toast Royale!! MMMMMMMM!! Go try it! ;) :) Did you make a report for the camp site you found? Thanks for sharing! :)

[@BigDmike24]

We like that place too!!

[@josephregallis3394]

Nice Video. Thanks. We were there in Gatlinburg in the past but did not know about the trail. May check it out one day.

[@NickandRachel]

Awesome hike! Thanks for sharing

[@sharoncronkhite8791]

I loved the hike on the trail and to Cataract falls. I love hiking in the smokies and have done all 5 major falls and many others. Enjoy seeing them again 💕

[@paul10hats5]

What a recommendation when Dawn & Will pick "the best" breakfast...I'm definitely goin' there whenever I get TN!

[@donnavincent1537]

We haven't tried this place yet but it's on our list now... Food looks delicious! Thanks for always showing the menus in your videos! I often wondered where this trail went, now I know... hope to walk it next time we are in town!

[@joycemarie2172]

Enjoyed your review on Crocketts breakfast. It looked so yummy. I liked the ambience except for all the taxidermy, that's just my preference I rather see the animals alive. Also enjoyed seeing the scenery along the Gatlinburg trail. I love that you have a deep respect for the park and the history. Another great vlog. Well done Love you guys.

[@truth4004]

I was thinking the same thing about the animals.

[@bertadelaudebri7179]

Thanks for sharing; as a result, we will no doubt eat there during our next stay in Gatlinburg...

[@dawnbenchley7237]

What a great breakfast to start the day. And beautiful hiking trail.

[@cindybelcher5925]

Watched it dude!!! Even scared me watching y'all do it. My husband is just like Dawn always shaking it!!! Lol I agree with you on them not having anything with the skybridge on it. I want a t-shirt that says I survived it!!!! Y'all keep up with the great videos!!! And have a awesome summer!!!☺☺

[@mike-vq7mc]

That is a great way to start your day. We stay at The Bear Skin Lodge so every morning I get up, take my morning coffee and hike the Gatlinburg trail. Come back, shower up and walk over to Crockets and have a hugh breakfast and then we are off in the jeep into the Park. Thanks for sharing Will and Dawn.

[@tonysmith952]

Great review. Have never tried the breakfast camp but will put it on our to go to list!

[@sonyaklaver8272]

Just stubbled across your videos, I really enjoy them. You give a very good description of places to visit. We will be going for first time in January 2021, and I am so excited!! 😊

[@azrock235]

That was a great breakfast and hike. I cannot believe people think you can just up and camp wherever!! It looked like they were either there for awhile or planned to be there for awhile. Maybe they set up and walked into town and will be surprised when they get back. Glad you will report it. That’s cool the trail starts where it does. So happy you had a great time! Thank you.

[@alizabol651]

Crockett's is now on our must do list next time we visit. Looks delicious. Thanks for the review

[@paul10hats5]

whoa, warp-speed at the end!

[@Disney1guy]

1/15/2022...went to Crockett's Breakfast Camp this morning (first time visitors to Gatlinburg). Ordered the Skillet Breakfast that had pretty much everything, 2 eggs, grits, sausage gravy, biscuit, griddle cake, ham, bacon, and sausage (one piece of each) and hash brown potatoes. The skillets came about 10 minutes after ordering and everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) was just warm, not even luke warm just tepid. I mentioned to our server how very disappointed I was that our food was not hot and fresh tasting. He said he was sorry and walked away not to return until he brough the check. $47 for two lousy breakfasts with two beverages.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you for sharing your review with us

[@aprilmorris8279]

We're currently here in Gatlinburg & tried yesterday to eat here but it was crazy busy with a LONG wait time & we had reservations to be some where so didn't stay. Hopefully will get there today or tomorrow before heading home. Just a Fyi this place gets BUSY so leave plenty of time if ya wanna eat here.

[@marybailey-gates3116]

This place looks amazing! I so cannot wait until I get here next summer and I would love to meet you two.

[@TroyO74]

Thanks for the video’s my family and I are in pigeon forge now we are going to follow your recommendations.

[@wyattbailey7662]

You guys are way too fun. It's a pleasure to watch you guys. I live in Nashville . Would love to have you come and visit.

[@joejeffers2406]

[@jeremydancy4001]

Crocketts is my absolute favorite breakfast destination. Another great review. We will be down in a 3 weeks can’t wait 😊

[@juliek2511]

I just love your channel! Thanks so much and have a great weekend! 🙋🏼‍♀️👍🏻😄💕🌷

[@KayFabe87]

Every time I have gone to Gatlinburg, this place has had a massive line, but it appears to be worth the wait. Looks really cool and nostalgic inside. Nice to see that this iconic restaurant is open for business once again.

[@teresahignite2223]

This made me hungry for breakfast. I just informed the hubby we are having pancakes and bacon for supper! LOL!

[@Cheeseburger.Launch.Sequence]

We do that too hehe. Sometimes french toast or waffles as well.

[@stevevincent3838]

We have not tried this place, buts its on our list now! Love how you all show the menues

[@SarahEA1]

Be sure to put your name on the wait list on their website, we were going one Sat and it was a 3 hour wait, we couldn't wait that long so we went to Flapjacks and got in in 30 minutes.

[@TeresaP67]

It looked so good. Maybe we can eat there when we get there.

[@AmyQ97]

I had no idea that trail was there. Thank you guys! Love watching you!

[@helgabullabong]

I could not believe the huge portions when I ate there! Couldn't eat it all. Great place. Love the newspaper menu. Cheers guys x

Hey guys. If I ever run into y'all in Gatlinburg I owe you lunch or dinner. I recently discovered your videos and have learned so much about the place I have loved for so many years.

[@melissah287]

I love their pancakes! They are delicious even without syrup!

[@dawnlosch4399]

I would def do crockettes again..but there is sooooo many other places to try!If i was a local, I would def do it again! But yall in the last few weeks have given me so many more places to try!

[@annieb550]

Once again thank you for the information. we have gone to the smokies for almost 40 years and did not know about this trail..... coming up in the fall and will def go have breakfast and take a walk.... thanks you two for shinning the light on all these greats spots that old timers over look

[@athiker7209]

[@aviehoward794]

Missed out on this the last time I travelled to Gatlinburg but won't miss out again. Food looked AMAZING!!! Thanks for doing this review guys.

[@coryfowler804]

thanks for another great show luv the video i ate at crocketts 4 years ago i ordered 3 pancakes and i ate all of them did not know how big they were came as a big surprise

[@donnap587]

Enjoyed your video, I especially like the part coming back through the trail doing the fast forward, it made it interesting.

[@atypicalmom]

Thanks so much Will and Dawn, another great video! I would love a video of the Hatfield and McCoy summer show and another Peddler video, I've watched your Peddler video a bunch of times because I have always dreamed of going there for a special occasion. :)

[@karenspence6721]

Thanks for sharing this with us the food looks awsome when I come to pigeon forge and gatlingurg im going to try this thanks guys

[@zoraidalopez2505]

Love the music how you start this video, make me feel I want to dance :) very nice place...LOVE IT !!!

[@AstrosTom]

We ate at Crockett's and walked this trail last week. We loved both! The Sugarlands Visitor Center and gift shop were open, but they were limiting the number of people inside.

[@bbass8711]

Another great review by 2 great people. Jobs well done.

[@Promise-68]

We are going to try this place on our next trip. Thanks guys!

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thanks Promise S

[@ethelquinn3270]

Hi Will and Dawn! I love this video. I think the elephant tree is an Indian tree. Native Americans would twist saplings together and bend/point them in the direction of water or streams. Google "Native American tree bending" for more pictures. Thanks again for this video.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thanks for sharing Ethel

[@janedirkers9853]

I could picture that little Miss Honey Bear right there on the trail with you. She was having some fun as usual.

[@Traciblaggblagg]

We have never ate at Crockettes when we come to Gatlinburg but we come in September that is on the top of my list Breakfast I'd my favorite meal if the day I think the prices are really good for such good food

[@ronconnies6090]

We are arriving into Pigeon Forge the week of Nov. 15 and will be staying at the Christmas Inn but we want to try Crocketts out ☺️

[@carrollhill6117]

Always eat at Crockets. My favorite reason to go to Gatlinburg.

[@ms.tep_]

We have never ate there before....The food looks amazing!

[@jenniferbarnes1053]

Wow guy's I couldn't believe the portion size of the breakfasts. And the cinnamon rolls were # huge. If we get to go to Gatlinburg TN. We. will certainly go. The national park is gorgeous. Love the video

[@carlavision6143]

Will and Dawn, really enjoyed your video! Your breakfast looked really good! More absolutely beautiful scenery. My home's in Oklahoma but my heart's in Tennessee!

[@CoughinDracula]

Stayed at the hotel right across from there always woke up to amazing smells

[@dianapearson1771]

We ate at Crocketts last time we were there. We shared a cinnamon roll. It was great. But, everything we had was great. We didn't try the pancake. Maybe next time. I don't think I've seen you do this trail. Oh, yeah, someone took advantage of the trails being closed, looks like!!

[@marybailey-gates3116]

You guys are so lucky to live in the Pigeon Forge area!

[@anthonythrockmorton9886]

We love Crockett 's!

[@ataleofthreecabins1025]

Definitely agree with the best breakfast in Gatlinburg.

[@jacksonplayz3170]

Thank you for this video! I’ll be sure to try to go there In October when I got to Tennessee

[@adamlight804]

The trees that you're calling elephant trees are actually Cherokee trail markers. They used to bend young trees so they grow that way and mark trails. Doesn't hurt the trees

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you for sharing 😊

[@kendrasmith6637]

Food looks good. Huge pancake 😊

[@betsyross1621]

[@chuckhunter5184]

It looked good. Most folks have no clue what a cat head biscuits is .in the 60s my grandmother in Louisiana made them every morning.

[@bluediamonds6766]

It's a regular old biscuit.

My mom made biscuits for every meal for ever. They were the best. I would grab a couple and sit and wait for everyone else to fill their plates. I enjoyed the biscuits naked. No butter necessary. La boy also. Take care.

I have not had the cinnamon roll, but the pancakes are truly an experience.

[@lindarandazzo4802]

Hello from Wisconsin, Will and Dawn it is so good to see you back to reviewing restaurants and some of the beautiful sites in the smokies. Even though I do enjoy Live Chats, there were just to many. I appreciate you showing all the beautiful places in the smokies as I live through you until we can visit as we have visited every fall for the last 10 years and absolutely call the smokies along with our lake property in central Wisconsin our Happy Places. Please keep the great places coming. We will be back in the smokies this fall. Thanks keep up the great work.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thanks Linda

[@Skittl1321]

We almost skipped cataract falls, last month, because we were told the hike wasn't great. Yeah, it's more of a stroll from the visitors center than a hike, but our 1 year old was able to walk almost all of it himself, which he loved, and we went after w day of hard rain so the falls looked great. Too bad we missed those pancakes, but we didn't eat out at all

[@dianedavis7802]

That trail looks like one appropriate for handicap access(wheel chair or walker).

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Its a dirt path you could possibly be do it it would be difficult in certain areas. The Sugarland trail is pathed and is handicapped accessible tganks Diane

[@SMash-uw1wi]

This made me hungry. I've been here a couple of times when visiting. And yes the cinnamon roll's are out of this world. Hey, any breakfast buffets or all you can eat breakfast up there? It takes us about 3 hours to get up there, but one of our favorite places to go. Many Thanks, Scott from NC!
