“Be Skeptical at Ripley’s Believe it or Not Probably the quirkiest thing you can do in Gatlinburg is to visit the Ripley’s Believe it or Not Odditorium. Cartoonist and anthropologist LeRoy Robert Ripley worked with the fact researcher Norbert Pearlroth to create the famous cartoon panel, Ripley’s Believe it or Not. This grew into a media empire that included books, radio, television and an ever-growing chain of museums and attractions. Thanks to the extensive fact-checking by Norbert Pearlroth, most of Ripley’s outlandish claims are actually trustworthy. But I’ll leave it up to you to decide whether you believe them… or not!”

“You may see that we have 100 different pancake houses here in the smokies but there is no where like the pancake pantry , it’s legendary!! This one is not like all of the others , it’s become a tradition for a lot of guests in town. There most popular for their variety of stuffed crepes …. It’s UH-mazing! Unlike most places , here you wait in line for your table and it’s very common for the line to wrap waaay around the building. It’s Worth it I promise ! ”

“This is my other recommendation for breakfast , a lot of meals are served in large cast iron skillets and they are known for their plate sized cinnamon rolls that can be shared among 4 people. My favorite here is the eggs Benedict and huevos rancheros. A favorite is their Aretha Franklin one inch thick pancake and The fresh squeezed strawberry orange juice is so so good too ! ”

“This is the best Mexican there is ! So so good ! It’s in the heart of Gatlinburg so plan ahead. There is a parking lot (paid) directly behind this restaurant on river road so it’s pretty easy to get to. ”
