    Outstanding!!!

    Cozy, quaint, excellent service and WAY off the main Gatlinburg center. I had an excellent bison burger - the best I've ever tasted, my lady enjoyed the crab cake appetizer and collard greens salad. Can't wait to go back!

    Worth the wait in October

    The rest of the year, the Wild Plum Tea Room takes reservations; in October, however, it's first come, first served. Our group of 10 had to wait for a while on this October Friday, but it was well worth the wait. The fruit tea is...More

    Located on the Glades Craft tour by a little stream nestled at the base of a mountain. Open only for lunch, reservations are strongly recommended, and then you still might have to wait. Menu is varied enough that everyone should find something tempting. The food...More

    I agree with Josh's assessment. I would say the porch has a larger seating capacity because part of the porch is enclosed on the front of the house and a section of it isn't enclosed for those sunny days you want to enjoy... More

    The trolley does pass in front of the Wild Plum. I'm sure the driver would stop and let people off. Not sure exactly where a pick-up stop is, but the trolley driver would be able to help with schedules and times.
