The Diner

Every American town or city needs a good classic diner, and Sevierville has The Diner. With its classic fifties feel and hearty portions, this joint is definitely worth a drive to. More than that, though, The Diner is a Sevierville institution, bringing the community together over eggs and pancakes every morning, and welcoming visitors in with hot coffee and warm smiles. Still locally-owned and a unique place in Sevierville, no trip to The Diner is complete without a burger or breakfast.

If you have a bad day and do not catch enough fish to feed a family or simply do not fancy fishing, then they also offer a delicious à la carte menu, full of the freshest fish imaginable.
