My Favorite Restaurants
I love the Kale Salad, the Strawberry Salad, the hamburger, the fries and the atmosphere. The catfish is also very good. They have a nice porch and you can take your dog to the outdoor section.

There are all sorts of fun things for kids to do in and near Gatlinburg. Not too far off the beaten path, there is a little craft community where many artists have stores (e.g., pottery, jewelry).
