Visiting the Wild Plum Tea Room was the highlight of our trip to Gatlinburg! We felt extremely lucky to get a reservation and learned that only one person manages the reservations, serving, and cooking. Although the current reservation system is frustrating for some, it saddens me to see low reviews because of it. She explained that her mother is ill and she is only one person. The whole meal was an experience! From the classic Wild Plum tea, served iced or hot, all the way to dessert, everything was an absolute 10! The cabin itself is adorable and we loved sitting out on the screened in porch listening to the stream as we dined. Each and everything on the menu is made from scratch from seasonal ingredients. I would 100% recommend to anyone and cannot wait to return in the future.

What a wonderful experience! Down to the natural trickling stream of water right next to the outdoor seating, they have it down perfect at the Wild Plum Tea Room. I think the menus often rotate but we ordered the Smoked Salmon Roll on Greens to start with, the Wild Plum Medley with tomato bisque, chicken salad, and a refreshing dill pea salad, and iced tea. Everything was fantastic and definitely worth making a reservation and taking the time to enjoy. The staff were super friendly and accommodating, the space itself was tranquil and inviting, and the food was great. Not to mention we were able to have our dog Morty with us on the patio and they brought him a bowl of water! No complaints at all and can’t wait to come back next time we’re in Gatlinburg, TN.

Please know the Wild Plum tea room is now run solely by one person, so dining is by reservation only and they are only open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. They are truly the best restaurant in town and they are the reason we come to Gatlinburg! We so appreciate the quality and care that goes into taking care of their customers and are glad they are able to remain open although limited. Please be sure to make your advanced reservation and enjoy this hidden gem in the mountains!

We always make a point to try to come to Wild Plum Tea Room whenever we are in town. Menu items have changed over the years but it’s always delicious. It’s a small operation with very limited seating, so reservations are required. The menu doesn’t list every single ingredient, so make sure you tell them about any food allergies or dietary restrictions.

Wow! This out-of-the-way restaurant, nestled in the Tennessee Smoky Mountains, was an unexpected delight. It is not your ordinary tea room, if there is such a thing, it is fashioned after an Austrian tea room. And the tea they served was simply awesome! Although not a vegan, I have been known to eat vegan food and I tried the impossible burger (they offer other real meat dishes, but I was curious). It was absolutely the best burger I ever tasted with or without real meat! My wife had corn chowder, and it, to, was delicious. Service, check. Decor, check. Charm, check. This place is a winner! Oh, it ain’t cheap, so be warned.

This experience was really cool, super cute and special for couples, we loved everything about this place, the waitress was very good and hard working, and the chef prepared some unique delicious food! Our favorites were the salmon burger, hot brie cheese platter, and the apple cake was one of the most amazing desserts we have ever tasted. The only thing we had that was so so was the beet salad. The staple plum tea here is addictive, but just remember that is the only tea they have (no tea varieties which confused us a bit). Overall it was wonderful and we would go back if we were ever in the area again.

One of the best lunches I’ve had in a long time. Very unique setting and atmosphere. Make reservations two days ahead of time and you’ll be fine. Yes it’s only one cook and one server. Be prepared for a paced meal. Get tea, enjoy the room, enjoy your food, and be happy that you’re in the mountains eating delicious food!

Good luck getting a hold of this place voice-mail is full so you can’t leave one. I’ve texted them three times over the past 2 weeks. No one will respond back. They don’t answer the phone during business hours because they are busy tending to customers. I wanted to make a reservation and surprise my husband on our trip in August. He loves tea and would have been so excited to go. But I guess I’ll have to find somewhere else to surprise him with. Supper bummed !

I did not end up going to this place because of one major factor: their reservation service. I’m sure they have a lovely buisness but in order to go, you must either email, text, or leave a voice-mail to them. You can’t do anything else. Apparently, their voice-mail is too full at the moment, so we could not do that, and they never replied to our text or email. Again, I’m sure the business itself is wonderful, but I wasn’t able to rate it because I couldn’t get into it in the first place!
