Picnic Pantry Cafe

Overpriced and menu somewhat limited.  We only waited about 15 min (arriving at 8 am Oma Saturday).  I definitely would not wait in a long line for this.  The food comes out in spurts; we had blueberry pancakes followed 5 min later by the compote.

This place is awesome!  The chicken salad on cranberry bread was fantastic.  Stopped on my way out of the park to get another one but they were closed.:(

Found the Picnic Pantry after a long day of hitting the trails in GSNP and so glad I did! The minute I walked into the door the staff warmly greeted my sister and I. The menu had a great variety and was reasonably priced. There were many drink options from gourmet coffee to micro-brew. My sister had the "Gobble" ($7) and I had the "Camper" ($7). Both sandwiches were the perfect portions for two hungry hikers and tasted amazing. The restaurant was very clean and had a cute rustic chic decor. After finishing our lunch, my sister and I decided to indulge in one of their homemade cookies, which were also incredibly delicious. If you're in Gatlinburg or just visiting the TN Smoky Mountains - you MUST stop here for lunch!
