The perfect place for girl’s night! We had several courses of dishes and they were full of flavor without being heavy. The drinks from Landon were on point, he makes an amazing carajillo!
The shishito peppers and tuna tostada are a must! All of the entrees were wonderful, my favorite was the Chiles en Nogada, but I cant wait to go back for the Cod Al Pastor! I will say the tenderloin dish was impressive with the mezcal smoke, I just wanted something new and different.
Dont skip dessert either, my bestie loved the mango Sorbet but I favored the Buñuelos with a side of whipped cream.
I have no idea how this hidden gem is missed but me and the ladies will be back soon.

We found Paloma Scratch Kitchen online when we were looking for a non-“American” food option after days of steak/burger/chicken options on a long weekend trip to the area. The atmosphere, food, service and parking were all great. We especially enjoyed the tacos and roast corn appetizer. Food is spicy, like we like it. Would eat there again.

We came after a long day at Dollywood. Service from Juan Pablo and Tina was great. Food and drinks were excellent. And my kids loved the Steak and rice option for the kids dinner

One of our favorite restaurants in Pigeon Forge that was filled with surprises. Started with a gazpacho amuse from the chef and ended with green apple cotton candy surprise for the whole table. My kids loved it! Drinks were delicious, we particularly loved the trio of salsa and guacamole, yuca fries. Queso, birria and seafood tostado. My son loved his chicken taco with everything on the side. The restaurant is quiet (I don’t think most people have discovered it yet) but don’t let that stop you from making a reservation because the food and service really delivered

Had breakfast here. Very friendly staff / service. Limited menu especially if you don’t eat eggs (I don’t). Good coffee (huge plus!)
Very cute atmosphere. Nice presentation of the dishes. My french toast was loaded with syrup. Fresh fast, hot dishes.
Very friendly service. Did I mention the friendly service? Luis for the win! Did not have to request water – it was already on the table.

Well, this was a pleasant surprise. I mean, based on Google reviews we were optimistic, but didn’t think it would be THAT good. The decor alone was extremely inviting. We started out with chips, salsa, and guacamole. The salsa was good, but the guacamole was thee best we have ever had. Outstanding!! My daughter and I each had the Cochinita Pibil Torta and they were so tender and delicious. My husband had the Carne Asada Tenderloin. Perfectly cooked to medium rare which is not the norm even in top steakhouses. He said it was one of the best steaks he’s ever had. My hubby and daughter had dessert back at the airbnb so only I got one to go. The rice pudding was just ok, but with everything else, still 5 star dinner. Props to our waiter Landon.

Paloma’s was an incredible stop for breakfast on our group trip. It all started with incredible service from Michael, our server, who was attentive and enjoyable from start to finish. Our drinks were full and our orders were correct and timely. The food was IMPECCABLE, carefully crafted and so unique. We couldn’t stop eating. Can’t recommend this stop enough, we can’t wait to come back! An absolute must and hidden gem!

What a lovely spot– amazing vegetarian options in an area where you’re lucky to find a subpar veggie burger at most places. We ended up here unexpectedly on Christmas Eve, and we were so happy we did. The staff were so kind and accommodating. We were given complimentary Agua de Jamaica (hibiscus and cinnamon tea) on arrival. We ordered a selection of vegetarian tapas, all of which were incredible, especially the shishito peppers fried in masa flour. The chef came out to chat with us, and told us that several of the meat free items on the menu were specifically intended to make up for the short shrift that vegetarians get elsewhere in the area. The decor and ambience were lovely, and it was just a great experience all around. Highly recommend.

Honestly, this place just felt like way more hassle than it was worth. We waited about 20 minutes just to get salsa, and the “avocado” tasted like some kind of Dollar Tree–level purée rather than anything fresh — it was basically just mush.
On top of that, our first water refill didn’t even come until about an hour after we sat down. When the waiter finally came around, he spilled his entire jug of lukewarm tap water onto another table near us. They had also been waiting about an hour, so at that point they had no salsa, no food, no drinks — and now they were completely soaking wet.
Then it took over an hour for the main meal, which ended up being really small. What made it more confusing was that the restaurant was only about half full, so it didn’t make much sense why everything was moving so slowly.
To top it off, they charged me incorrectly four different times, and again, they weren’t even busy — so it’s hard to understand how that keeps happening.
It honestly feels like they’re just relying on the fact that they’re attached to a hotel and near the island rather than focusing on service or quality. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend it.

I went to Paloma to try out something different from the regular Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge Fried food. This place was delicious, we ordered the salsa and guacamole trio each flavor was delicious. The Chicken Tinga had a nice flavor with a little spice from the sauce it was plated with. My friend ordered the Carne Asada and that dish was also delicious. Compliments to the chef.
Additionally, the staff was extremely helpful, checking in on us and helping with any request we had since there was a large party of us. It was much appreciated. I would go back again especially considering the food was light, satisfying and health!
