BEST LUNCH WE HAD IN GATLINBURG

A nice litle cafe tucked away in the arts district. Plenty of shops to visit before you grab a bite to eat. Very friendly staff and we were seated quickly. They do not have a large staff, so if your in a hurry, you might...look elsewhere. Service was slow, but well worth the wait. We all agreed it was one of the best lunches we had on our trip. The salads were all homemade, and wow, they were excellent. Sat on the patio and had a very enjoyable lunch.More

Really quaint little cafe

We sat down ordered our food the menu looked amazing, granted said the chef was a "perfectionist" so the food takes long? It was Lunch time, what i ordered looked amazing on the menu almost a HOUR later the waitress comes with our food on...this big plate all i see is a tiny flour tortilla with one slice of turkey maybe five pecan pieces, a trace amount of cream cheese, jalepeno jelly i think?, and two small pieces of lettuce, the waitress tells me they are out of coleslaw do i want something else? Duh, so the only thing left was fries i got them took too long had to go the chef asked me how my sandwich was Lol I said not good he got mad and walked away mumbling Bad Experience!!More

Worst experience do not recommend

We came into town and saw this darling cafe. We waited 30 mins so it could open and we could try the food. We had a cold brew mocha, so delicious! The menu did state that they are not fast food, understandable..... but from the...time we sat down till we got our food it took an hour and 10 minutes. We were the 3rd group of ppl to walk in at 12pm. We ate and left at 1:30. We payed for our food and did not tip because no one checked on us to ask if we were ok. Waitress did not ask if we needed a refill. Our food was room temperature. Before we left i thanked the waitress and said “the food was delicious and worth the wait” she gave me huge attitude and said “must not have been that good since you did not tip” before that i was considering coming back. Not after that.More

Great lunch spot!

My boyfriend and I stopped here for lunch after a morning of hiking and had one of the best meals of our week-long trip. The fried deviled eggs were amazing, and we both loved our sandwiches. Great value and even better food!

Great burgers, great waitress

Stopped here briefly for lunch. Both of use ordered burgers - both were very good. Service was excellent as we had a very friendly waitress. Not cheap but fair price for the food.

Best fried green tomatoes ever!

I was taking art classes and had time for lunch and happened upon this restaurant. Seated outside on a beautiful fall day I was promptly waited on and ordered the fried green tomatoes with Boom Boom Sauce. I have NEVER had a better fried green...tomato! Piping hot, crunchy and not a drop of grease, the sauce was awesome. I would go back and order this every time!More

Un-freaking-believable!!

First of all the owners are great people and make you feel like family. Secondly, if you are a burger person please for the love of all that is holy go try one here it’s my favorite burger period. Thirdly, if you are a chicken...sandwich lover grab there Morning Mist Sandwich it’s the bee’s knees. I understand that this is getting long but when you run into something this good you want to shout it loud enough for everyone to hear! Enjoy and try their deserts. Sorry no picture but that’s because I scarfed it down before thinking about it.More

A delicious lunch!

We stopped at the Morning Mist Cafe for lunch while exploring the Art and Crafts Community. It was very relaxing sitting at their outside tables on a very hot day. The tables sit under a tree canopy which is very cooling! Lunch was delicious! We...ordered the Catfish Sandwich, a Club Sandwich, a Country Ham Sandwich, French Fries and 2 Fruit Cups and 3 soft drinks. Our total bill was $39.75 including tax. The server was very kind and prompt. We saw him cleaning everything which we appreciated during this Covid crisis. I would strongly recommend this cafe for lunch, we will return here on our next visit!More
