Our server was Edgar and he was Amazing!!! He gave recommendations when asked and kept a great attitude the entire time. We never felt rushed and he was incredibly accommodating!
Everything we ordered was great, except the breakfast tacos. Those need a little work.
The fried green tomatoes and the home fries were phenomenal!

The Cottage is a beautiful restaurant. The atmosphere is warm, cozy and relaxing. My waitress Andrea was wonderful, very attentive, and very sweet to my children. Our food was delicious. The squash hash was absolutely amazing!! The avocado toast left much to be desired. I was really disappointed in my breakfast. With the appearance of the rest of the food, I thought the toast would be more than a mashed avocado on toast. Other than that it was a wonderful experience.

My boyfriend and I came here for brunch. The wait was 30-45 minutes which is pretty average for a Sunday no matter the place. The place is so cute! I got the breakfast burrito and it was delicious. The jalapeño ranch was the perfect addition to it. My boyfriend got the blueberry cheesecake French toast and it was delicious!
It took a while for us to get waited on initially but Evan was very apologetic and made up for it. He was amazing. He made sure we had everything we needed the entire time we were there. They close at 3 but at no point did he rush us to leave. We loved it and will be back!

This place is simply delightful. There is an open airy concept, food is delicious and a nice little coffee menu. I highly recommend the caramel banana cappuccino and the bananas foster waffle, it was ridiculously good. It was lovely. We had Andrea as our waitress and she was so sweet. Overall, this was a breakfast winner.

Excellent experience at The Cottage Restaurant. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor—you can really tell the quality and care that goes into each dish.
I’d especially like to highlight Enrique, our server, who made the experience even better. He was attentive, friendly, and professional, always making sure we had everything we needed and offering great recommendations. His service truly made a difference.
We would definitely come back without hesitation. Great food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Nice breakfast/brunch spot in the Pigeon Forge. It’s a nice bright interior.
A fun mimosa & cocktail menu. I liked the Tennessee Heat mimosa.
We also got the brunch board, chicken & waffles, and chocolate chip pancakes on the kids menu.
Our chicken in the chicken & waffles was really crunchy. It had a nice flavor.
The cheese grits were great too.
Service was good.

Everything was great…. except the coffee ( came cold on two different drinks ). The fried green tomatoes were DELICIOUS . I wish there were more on the plate. Our server (Freddy?) was also very friendly. We also had strawberries and cream pancakes, blueberry cheesecake pancakes, cheesy grits, bacon, and eggs. Love the color scheme. Keep the coffee hot y’all

This restaurant is very elegant. Great romantic spot. Prices match the vibe but I am unsure the quality matches. I purchased the short rib hash. It was fine. Texture was great, potatoes were crispy but everything lacked seasoning. The biscuit platter was 3 biscuits for $11.99. That was out of bounds. Overall, this restaurant is fine.
Service was phenomenal.
