Mel's Diner is located just off the parkway
and is Family Owned and Operated in the heart of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee,
not too far from Gatlinburg, Sevierville, and the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park. Since 1993, Mel's Diner has displayed a classic 50's
diner atmosphere and classic American food. Their breakfast menu is
served all day long. They also sold limited edition T-shirts and other
gifts. Karen Duquette's food was OK, but Lee Duquette's food was dry
and he did not eat it. It is not very often that Lee does not eat the
food. |

Flapjack's serves home style breakfast and lunch plates from pancakes to sandwiches. The two RV Gypsies felt that the food was plentiful and very good. So was the service. |

Best Italian in Elks Plaza
968 Parkway Suite 9
Gatlinburg, TN 37738
August 26, 2020
|
The menu was classic Italian: garlic knots, pizza, pastas, salads.
The two RV Gypsies ate here twice and each time had the Antipasto. They
enjoyed it the first time, but not the second time. |
 |
This restaurant is right next door to Howard's Steak House Restaurant and the two restaurants share the outdoor seating. The two RV Gypsies enjoyed the view of the river as they ate, except for the biker dude who kept getting out of his seat and walking over to the river to spit his tobacco into the river. |

A photographer went to each table and said
she wanted to take a complimentary photo postcard of the two RV Gypsies,
so they agreed. Lee Duquette did buy a couple of other photos as well,
even though the quality of the photographs are not that great. |

The two RV Gypsies also ate on the mountain top of Anakeesta. They did not take any pictures, and they did not like the food. |

Margaritaville Restaurant on The Island
in Pigeon Forge
August 28, 2020 |
The two RV Gypsies sat outside on the patio
behind Margaritaville on The Island. Karen Duquette enjoyed her Italian
Margarita and they both shared some Pork Nachos. |
