Discovered Split Rail Eats while in town for a soccer tournament. We are glad that we did! It is a little confusing when you first arrive. Where you park is facing the rear of the restaurant, the front of the businesses are actually in the middle. Don’t let that fool you, it’s worth checking out. When we cut through the walkway, we were met by a nice outside area with live music. Upon entering it’s a cozy nicely decorated space with a wide variety of seating areas. You order at the front counter and then they bring your food to you. There was a great selection of food and everyone in our family enjoyed their meals. They had a self-serve beer wall as well as a full bar. The staff was all super friendly. It is a great place to come as adults or with a family. We ate there twice while in town and plan on visiting again in the future.

Really cool spot tucked away inside a condo/apartment complex. The staff was amazing, the food was delicious, and they had an excellent bar and draft wall where you pay per ounce and serve yourself any beer, cider, wine, sour you want on tap. They are dog friendly on the patio and there was lots of room to spread out. It was not too busy on a Friday lunch afternoon, but really clean and inviting inside and out.

What a great find for lunch! Standard American food with easy counter order and wait staff delivered food. We were all eager to try the food, from picky children to vegetarian wife, there was something for everyone on the standard menu which made ordering easy. The staff was very friendly and helpful even when we made a mess. It also had a huge tap selection for those looking for a place to try the local beers. I recommend the cucumber salad, and we will definitely go again.

The vegetarian options in this menu are what attracted us to visit Split Rail Eats. Even though we were staying in Downtown Gatlinburg and this restaurant was a bit far out, we decided to go visit and we loved everything we ate here and highly recommend it to everyone! The restaurant was almost closing when we reached but they accommodated our order and ensured we got everything that we needed. We tried the Taco tater bowl, fried cheese curds and the plant based burger. We really wish we could have tried the cocktails here, they looked so good!

Great atmosphere coupled with delicious entrées made for an enjoyable dining experience. Philly Cheese Steak was made to perfection! The $1.25 upcharge for mushrooms and peppers caught me off guard, but other than that everything was reasonably priced.

My daughter’s wedding reception was held at Split Rail Eats in October 2022. Everything was perfect. John and his team were wonderful through planning the menus to the actual day of the event. They helped with details for the day and were so helpful and pleasant to work with. I can’t say enough good things about the level of service and tastiness of the food. I would not hesitate to hold another event in the future and will definitely be back to eat when we visit each year.

First time going here and it was a very nicely decorated restaurant with recent renovations. I’ll do some pros and cons then get to what we ordered.

We went here for dinner when most of us weren’t starving but needed to eat something. The restaurant itself was almost like a hole in the wall, if you weren’t looking you’d miss it buy you’d miss out. The food was fantastic, nobody in the group I was with had any complaints about their food. I would happily eat here again on this trip or any trip to Gatlinburg. It also made our night that the server/person who took our order knew Pennsylvania and where my brother and sister in law went to college. One of my favorite meals so far!!

The staff was Incredibly kind. I got a chicken salad sandwich the first time and it was phenomenal. The second time I got a Turkey Reuben Fredo fries and a frozen coffee everything was super good. The environment was very relaxing and extremely clean. I definitely recommend eating here!
