EAT LIKE A LOCAL
The Great Smoky Mountains table — what to order and where the locals point.

Pancake Pantry
Gatlinburg's 1960 original, and the reason the town has forty pancake houses. Queue, then order the sweet potato.
Dancing Bear Appalachian Bistro
Townsend's kitchen doing venison, trout and a serious bourbon list on the quiet side.
