Was Laila Predovic at Split Rail Eats a mag?

I accidentally discovered this hidden gem while browsing the map, and I’m so glad I did! It provided a delightful break from typical city dining. The staff were friendly and approachable. The prices were reasonable, and our food arrived quickly and steaming hot! I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich with potato wedges, while my friend got the buffalo bowl. Both dishes were fantastic! The chicken was crispy and juicy... View all feedback.

What Kendra B dislikes about Split Rail Eats:

We changed our dining plans and ended up at Split Rail, and it turned out to be a great choice. The staff was very friendly, and the restaurant was tidy. Our food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious. I had a smash burger with tater tots, while my husband chose a salad and a buffalo chicken sandwich. The tater tots were exceptional – perfectly fried and flavorful. The salad was fresh and crunchy, and the san... View all feedback.

This is a staple when my family comes to Gatlinburg, it's a little off the beaten path but well worth the trip/stop.

Quick, no atmosphere. If you want food in a hurry from a counter it is OK

This place is a gem. It's off the main drag in a quiet location. We're traveling 1600 miles with a small dog which is why we chose it, you can have your pet on the patio with you! Service was great, food was extremely good, I highly recommend.

Delicious food! Highly recommend Jacked Turkey sandwich, but everything was excellent. Great service and nice outdoor seating.

They were extremely accommodating to our large group with very young kids (5 children ages 1-5). The outdoor area was perfect and the food was delicious! Anyone with young kids knows that eating out can be stressful, but this was one of the most relaxing meal experiences we have had. We will definitely be coming back the next time we visit Gatlinburg.

Came across this hidden gem on the map and I am very glad I found it! It was a nice change of pace from eating in town. Everyone was friendly and pleasant to chat with. Prices were reasonable and the food came out quick and piping hot! I had the Buffalochicken sandwich with potato tots and my friend had the Buffalo bowl. Both were very good! The chicken was crunchy and moist!Next time I am in the area, I will gladly come back for another tasty meal! Ps: love the picture with the Legos in therestroom! Lol

Happy to find a good vegan option! My fiancé and I ordered the veggie wrap, but left out the cheese and added plant protein crumbles it was all vegan and delicious. Def recommend it! The owner was so kind and helpful with providing a vegan option. Weenjoyed the meal and the atmosphere. You?ll find a sick wood map of the area hanging on the wall. We had just hiked Charlie?sBunion and saw it on the map. Loved that!

The food was incredibly tasty, from the tater tots to the salad. John was very helpful and offered great recommendations for out-of-town visitors. The atmosphere was contemporary, and the location was excellent—nestled next to a range of small shops away from the main road, which makes it less crowded than other restaurants. I would highly recommend this place!

Our food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious. I had a smash burger with tater tots, while my husband chose a salad and a buffalo chicken sandwich. The tater tots were exceptional – perfectly fried and flavorful. The salad was fresh and crunchy, and the sandwiches were equally tasty. If we’re in the area again, we will definitely come back!

I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while, but I had already had lunch. So, I decided to go with dessert and chose the brownie with vanilla ice cream. It came topped with whipped cream, a chocolate drizzle, and a cherry. Since I'm lactose intolerant, I asked for a small scoop of ice cream, but they gave me a larger portion than I requested. The atmosphere in the restaurant is lovely, and the service was speedy and friendly. Unfortunately, I can't give them a five-star rating because the brownie tasted a bit stale, and I only managed to eat a few bites before having to throw the rest away. That said, I did enjoy the ambiance, and I think I’ll come back to try something for lunch next time.

We were staying in the condos in the same area as this place and after 12 hours of driving figured it couldn't be that bad. Was pleasantly surprised at how good everything was, my bf loved the tater tots. Was not that badly priced either.

This place was featured on a YouTube episode from Yankee in the South. A hidden gem in Gatlinburg, off the Craft Trail. Our party of 4 loved this place. The food was good and we enjoyed the self tap bar. Self tap bar- You get a wristband and tap it on a beer of your choice and pour out the quantity you want. You are charged per ounce (price varies per selection) and pay when you are done. Food was excellent and a nice hideaway from Gatlinburg strip hustle and bustle.

Good place to stop for lunch as you are exploring the arts and crafts community loop! We tried the Greek tater bowl and the ranchero tater bowl I had a hard time deciding which one I liked better! The self serve taps seemed like it could be fun for someone who likes beer.

This restaurant is truly a hidden gem! Our server, Danny, was incredibly attentive and took the time to walk us through the menu. He checked on us after our meals arrived and offered some fantastic local recommendations. The food was not only delicious but also reasonably priced. The bar had an impressive selection of beers, and the overall ambiance was relaxed and casual.

This is an excellent place to relax. The food is outstanding, and the owners, Corbin and John, truly excel at managing a great restaurant. They host trivia nights on Thursdays and live music on Fridays, making it a must-visit destination in Gatlinburg. The service, food, and ambiance all deserve top marks of 5.

I recently enjoyed lunch at this restaurant, and it was a fantastic experience. The cost per person ranged from $10 to $20, which I thought was very reasonable. The food was absolutely delicious, earning a perfect rating of 5 out of 5. The service was outstanding as well, also deserving a score of 5 out of 5. The restaurant's atmosphere was warm and welcoming, so I give that a 5 out of 5 too. I highly recommend trying the Fish Tacos and Cheesesteak; both were incredible!

Five stars! All right! Great little restaurant with great food. The sandwich bread was AMAZING. We had fried chicken sandwiches and a peanut butter cookie (which was still warm I could add). They also had drinks and coffee. Very recommended for a quick bite to eat! It won't disappoint! The staff was also very friendly!

Cute spot! Went right before 11 (when they stop serving breakfast) and the staff was considerate and asked if we wanted to order from the breakfast menu, which we did. Lots of delicious options depending on your taste! Very welcoming overall.

Stopped in while visiting in Gatlinburg. Top notch. I ordered the pimento cheese as to eat as an appetizer . It was so good I went and ordered a second helping to take back to the cabin for a snack later. I also ordered the Greek burger with a veggie party. Delicious. Top notch.
