Happy birthday! Hit or miss from Paula, wowwww. Crockett's, Log Cabin and Cracker Barrel for us. Thanx y'all.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Thanks Bob

[@DawnOrton]

Our favorite breakfast spot in the Smokies is Apple Barn - hands down the best for us.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Eric went with Bob recently but I want to try for sure

[@atypicalmom]

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

[@Aware_of_myshelf]

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Returned your email brother. Thanks as always!

[@williambillwaynerobertson930]

That's our favorite place Log cabin pancake house up from the space needle is another great breakfast.🤘🇺🇸🤙

[@cheriedupree4194]

Lil Black Bear Cafe off of Veterans in Pigeon Forge is a hidden gem. Great service, outstanding food, reasonable prices. Give it a try!

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

This has been on our list for a minute now! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@virginiaalexander4999]

I'll take Cracker Barrel or Bob Evans anytime. I haven't heard any really good reviews on Paula Deen's.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

In our experience Paula’s isn’t as good as it once was. We’ve heard the same from others. Thanks as always!

[@robinmcclanahan8979]

Sawyers will forever be our favorite

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

I hear that from a lot of people its at the top of our list to try for sure. Thanks for watching Robin

[@carlavision6143]

Eric and Brittany, really enjoyed your video! That breakfast casserole looked really good and so, did the bacon. Awe, Chloe is sooo cute!

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

those were the stars for sure, thanks for watching Carla

@@SmokyMountainFamily you're welcome!

[@tsg336]

Thank you for a thorough, honest review

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Thanks so much for watching

[@joleneshank3125]

Little House of Pancakes in Gatlinburg, out 321 not far from Food City! It's our fav and we eat there at least twice or more a trip! Great service, good prices and never had a bad meal!

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

We will have to put that on the list

[@derekk6906]

We agree, love the country fried steak there!!

[@juliemckibben1184]

We love Paula’s breakfast and have never had a bad meal there.

[@marywalton3998]

Please try breakfast at Trish's Mountain Diner on 321 between Gatlinburg and Cosby.. We love the food and staff. Great place

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

We have been wanting to try that place for a while for sure going to hopefully make it up there this summer

[@tonyricketts5569]

If you’re going to serve breakfast in the Smokys, it better be good. This looked like they got up this morning ran to Kroger on Wears Valley and picked up frozen food.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

I know thats exactly right thanks for watching Tony

[@Candyland420]

I would have given em a 3 for makin ya think you were getting real fried potatoes and onions then giving you generic diced frozen potatoes. Always love your food reviews :)

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Yes indeed. The bacon was so good tho. Thanks as always Candace!

[@lindakurman8642]

Never knew they had bkfst. Too bad u didn’t enjoy it better. So…. Happy birthday!!brittany!!

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Thank you Linda

[@patshumate9235]

Five Oaks!

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Five oaks has definitely been the consensus to this point. Thanks so much Pat!

[@bubbascruise]

The best breakfast place imo is Sawyer's and I'm willing to fight over it lol. I specifically get the m&m pancakes with powdered sugar and peanut butter sauce. Also the jumbo cathead biscuits and gravy at five oaks you can feed 2 adults for $10. I enjoyed Paula's when I went however the amount of food you have to eat to get your $s worth can effect the rest of your day. I think going a few times and knowing what you like and don't like would help.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

We have been hearing that its at the top of our list now for breakfast

[@tomsweet1669]

We agree it’s not one of our favs for sure. Lesley loves crocketts im kinda just like take me Cracker Barrel. Great vid take care be safe

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Crocketts and Cracker Barrel solid choices ❤️

[@marcboulanger4300]

I've seen a mix of good/bad reviews on this place. Would take alot to sway me from the Log Cabin in GBurg. Happy Birthday Brittany.

[@kyrangerman519]

100% agree! I've enjoyed Log Cabin since 1979, it's still our go-to for breakfast. I've eaten at several 'breakfast' restaurants over the years, hands down Log Cabin is the best!

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Stay there Marc it doesn't even come close

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Its king for sure

[@barbaranorred1152]

Happy Birthday Brittany we like Flatjacks and The Log Cabin Pancake House and Definitely Cracker Barrel. We Usually don't eat Breakfast out we always get a Hotel that has Breakfast.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Thank you Barbara

[@ricksergent2471]

Love it one of my favorites and have a great time

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Thanks so much Rick!

[@kimellis4815]

Happy Birthday Brittany, Looked like a good breakfast to start your day.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Thanks for watching Kim

[@frankcastle3971]

Those are store bought cinnamon rolls lol. Happy Birthday to you Britney no man ever asks a lady her age lol. Out of all that food I would stick with the bacon and home-fries lol. That casserole looked like a bomb hit that with everything in it.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

They had to be frank lol thanks so much for watching Frank

[@piedmontpengwing]

I never had maple glazed bacon. The bacon really looked good. I used to make sausage gravy for my mother. She loved breakfast meals. That was her favorite. I thought at first that you guys was going to the one in Gatlinburg. That one is next door to Starbucks. This one is in The Island. Never been to either one.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

The one in Gatlinburg is just a store. Thanks for watching

[@dhigdon0629]

Our Favorite Breakfast is In Gatlinburg at the Pancake Pantry Hands down. Then Five Oaks Farmhouse

[@olafpamela]

I'm not a Paula Dean's foodi. I like that pancake house that's the first restaurant on the right side of the road coming from Gatlinburg, I can't remember the name 🤔 Thanks for sharing 🤗

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

We will have to give that one a try thanks so much for watching Pamela

[@jerrytillery87]

Haven't been to Paula Deen's but for us nothing beats the Log Cabin Pancake House. Second would be Crocketts and third would probably be Applewood Grill.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Agreed with 1 and 2 we will have to try applewood Jerry

[@JoeVol5249]

We really like Perkins for breakfast ( or any meal) here in Dandridge if you are ever out this way.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

We will have to check it out thanks for watching Joey

[@danayates924]

Happy birthday Brittany 🎉 we share a birthday month. Mine was the 9th.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Thank you and hope you had a great birthday Dana

[@julsuhr3783]

Five Oaks breakfast is our family favorite. Awesome pork chops

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Many have suggested Five Oaks. Will have to give it a try! Thanks so much for watching!

[@carpenterguys.9417]

Just got back home from Tennessee after a five day vacation and I would have to agree had the breakfast and it's was by far one of the best breakfast meals we have had on our trip.

[@derekk6906]

Everyone will think we are crazy but..... We are heading down to Gatlinburg on Thursday leaving the Southern Michigan ICE behind...Our first stop after 3 hours will be the Waffle House in Shelbyville Indiana. We love Waffle House breakfast when traveling. They are fast friendly with a good breakfast and reasonable prices yet most of all we don't have them in Michigan. The big yellow Waffle House sign screams WE ARE GOING TO TENNESSEE!! Thanks for the great videos.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Nah you have to love the Waffle! Carry on my friend!!!

[@trgirlsadventures]

Y’all make the best videos! :)

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Aww thanks so much

[@jkiddddddd]

This is gonna be an unpopular opinion, but.....We really like Sawyers Farmhouse. Its one of the only places that we will go to twice.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

We will have to give it a try! Thanks for watching kiddddd

[@jkiddddddd]

@@SmokyMountainFamily honestly I love the Coffee Cups...I buy one every time Im there!

[@dhigdon0629]

He loved it the first time we ate there. When we went back the second time is wasn’t anything like the first time so we did it the 3rd time. Was even worse

[@dannythecamper4186]

Nice video. Nice looking foods. A little pricey, for that foods..

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

That it was! Thanks so much for watching we appreciate you

[@ms.tep_]

Happy Birthday Brittany! 🥳🎉

Thank you Tawna

Eric!!!!😉🏞️🐻🌄

Hussey!!!

[@derick2986]

Should have got the fried grits. They are amazing

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

I would have loved to swap a few out 😂

[@ricksergent2471]

Tough to pick a favorite but I do like the Red rooster and the log cabin

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Log cabin is our fav for sure. Thanks so much Rick!

[@SandmanFightingSys]

Those “fried” potatoes looked whiter than Michael Jackson the last few years he was alive. I’d hope Paula would raise Hell at the quality of the food at this location.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

LOL thanks for watching

[@vickieengland7947]

I never did care for Paula Deen dinner. I’ve never had breakfast, but the only thing I seen there that look good to me was that bacon lol thanks for sharing.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

That was about it Vickie 😂 ❤️ thanks for watching we appreciate you

[@LadyBug-cc3ep]

🌿🌺 Happy Birthday Brittany 🌺🌿

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Thank you

[@RhondaA]

We've never eaten here before because celebrity themed corporate restaurants are usually a disappointment to me. Very tempted to try Dolly's Song & Hearth breakfast buffet though.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

WE want to try that one hope to get to it by the summer. Thanks for watching Rhonda

[@GaOutlawVinyl]

You should try Mama’s Farm House. It’s great.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

We’ve tried it for lunch. Hopefully our experience for breakfast will be better. Thanks so much for watching!

[@southernafclothing798]

Yeah we were kinda let down too...

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

You expect more with Paula I think. Thanks as always!

[@miraclebabies3308]

Mel's diner but it's in Pigeon Forge

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

WE will have to give it a try never tried for breakfast

[@cherylsergent8700]

At this point, it's McDonald's. Every place we have tried either was not good or was nothing special. I worked for a restaurant distributor and tried most of their products. Every place we have tried tasted like their frozen products. If you are out early on the morning you will aee their trucks delivering to all the restaurants thru Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The one thing these restaurants we have tried all had in common, they were expensive in my opinion. McDonald's is cheap and I know what to expect, which is not much.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

McDonald’s biscuits and gravy are good for real! Lol. Thanks as always!

[@christinecampbell2525]

I herd chubby's restaurant has a great breakfast and I herd elvira's is really good too.

[@tonymartin4004]

That's too expensive for breakfast, we have ate @ Little House of Pancakes on the outskirts of Gatlinburg. We ate there after watching a review, it's small, sometimes a wait, but in my opinion it was good, prices were ok, about half Paula Dean's probably. Definitely will eat there when we are around Gatlinburg again.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

That’s a good spot. Right down the road from us.

[@tonymartin4004]

We ate there 2 times, watched the reviews from Yankee in the South, that's how we heard if it, we have drove past it alot, never really noticed it, I had French Toast both times, 👍. We hope to visit in June, our 36 anniversary, probably have breakfast there again.

[@lonnalachner7344]

We have been to Paula's twice for dinner figured we would give it a second chance. The food was average at best. Way below food quality expectations. For breakfast Crocketts Sawyers Apple Barn haven't tried 5 oaks yet.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Same here. Sawyers is now on our list!

[@napp7667]

Five Oaks Farm Table

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

WE have been for lunch but need to try breakfast

[@dallasherring7902]

After pancake pantry log cabin crockets and five oaks Paula Deens will just make you mad

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

It did 😂 ❤️

[@billballoo7881]

Do you know how late they server breakfast?

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Not for sure Bill, but im guessing around 11. Thanks so much for watching!

[@caseybruce9588]

How was the sweet tea? Anybody try?

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Yes I did… I normally love it and was so excited to get it but it definitely wasn’t the same

[@pamelabarbee2487]

Definitely NOT Paula Dean's, at least for breakfast. Old Mill is good. We're kinda partial to Mel's Diner. Sawyer's is good. Flapjacks is also good. In G'burg we always hit Pancake Pantry. Log Cabin is good too.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

We have heard a lot of good things about sawyers now going to have to put that at the top of our list for sure

[@kathyg1346]

Bacon looked delish!Sorry about the rest of the meal.😩

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Its ok Kathy we had it on the list for a while and the bacon was amazing!!!

[@mayer7196]

Camera setup??

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Hey David. Sorry to just be getting to respond. This content was just filmed with an iPhone and Zhiyun Smooth gimbal. We also use a Canon R5 with a gimbal as well. Thanks so much for watching!

[@mayer7196]

​@@SmokyMountainFamily No worries brother. We have been binge-watchin' y'all and notice the quality gets better and better. Nice work fam.

Scrambled eggs looked very dry

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

They were soooo dry

[@donnap587]

@@SmokyMountainFamily that’s good because that’s how I like my eggs.

[@dennisjackson6693]

you know what we told you about breakfast at Paula deans it was not good at all the old mill was a lot better

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

You were correct good sir! Per usual. Thanks as always Dennis!

[@jessicabowers7966]

Red rooster has best breakfast around

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

We keep hearing that! Going to have to give it a try

[@stevesmith-sp8xv]

We have been for breakfast and dinner. We loved the dinner. Dinner was great. But the breakfast was a 4 for us. But then again, we are waffle house people.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Nothing wrong with that Steve lol thanks for watching

[@williamsmith4528]

Sawyers

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

We are hearing thats the place to be def at the top of our list

[@Thegreek2024]

overpriced unless your eating at least 3 rounds

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Absolutely

[@jcnichols1854]

Paula's is awful. Probably the biggest rip off in the Smokies. Always enjoy watching y'all

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

We think it has gone down hill as well

[@user-qf1zx7qn3g]

,,🐝

[@jjsadventures]

We weren’t impressed with Paula Deen’s dinners either

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

We used to but it definitely went down hill

[@jamesodom5707]

I can tell by the looks on the faces that they weren’t all that impressed with the food. I think they over-rated it. McDonald’s looks better

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Pretty much stated it wasn't in our top 5 breakfast spots in the area. Not sure how that would be over-rating it.

[@melaniejones9186]

We five oaks for breakfast.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

We’ve heard many good things about five oaks’ breakfast. Probably will have to give it a try!
