Staff is very welcome and friendly. The food is delicious, tasty, and unique. The apple cinnamon sangria is a must try as well!

Worth the stop!
Too many great choices! Wish we had this place near our home! The buffalo chicken bowl was awesome and the polish ruben was very good too!! Prices are reasonable for gatlinburg area.

Food was great and a good value. They had an interesting selection including little hand-pie snacks, great fried chicken sandwiches and Greek options. Service was excellent too. I felt bad, seeing them work so hard to bring all the food out to people waiting outside to eat while being a little understaffed (like all restaurants are t ... read more

This place is a diamond in the rough. Located on a random road in East Tennessee, the looks of the competitors nearby seem below the standard. I stumbled across split rail eats and was blown away by the creativity in the menu. I found it difficult to decide what to order because everything sounded delicious - and it was!!! Best chick ... read more

Just had lunch there with family. Food was delicious and service amazing. So glad we decided to stop here. We had fried chicken sandwich and Polish sausage Reuben and coconut pie for dessert. Will definitely be back.

I recently visited Split Rail when in the Pigeon Forge area and this little spot outside of Gatlinburg offers some really solid food for a fair price. The location itself is very quaint with outdoor seating available as well if the weather is nice. During my visit I purchased the Philly cheesesteak with mushrooms and it was pretty go ... read more

Great lunch spot.
Great lunch spot. Get the fried chicken sandwich, and the loaded potato soup if they have it. Their online menu does have some stuff Listed that they did not have on their menu in the restaurant which was a bummer.

Our food was very good, but the service was pretty slow. With all the crazy covid stuff, we figured we're all doing the best we can.

I've never been to Gatlinburg before and I wasn't really sure what to expect. We got a hotel on the main drag and honestly it was just crazy crowded. Especially with everything going on with Covid, we wanted to escape the crowd.

I found a recommendation for Split Rail Eats here on Yelp. We took a very scenic drive out to the r ... read more

Great little place, kind of tucked away and easy to miss. We had a sandwich and the cheese fries app and both were really good! Wanted to try their sweets but was too full.

We wanted something quiet and away from tourists. This place hit the spot! Tasty sandwiches, friendly staff and nice ambiance. Highly recommend!
Molly Butz via google.com - Oct 2, 2020
Great little spot for a beer and a meal. To bad the property owners that this cute restaurant is in doesn't market or have signage to promote the open air shopping. From the road appears to be an apartment complex...but the first level of the buildings is retail spaces.

I stopped in yesterday for lunch and had the best sandwich. Super friendly service and they are set up to observe distancing and create a safe environment. I'd come back here for lunch again!

My husband and I brought our family here, at the suggestion of our pastor at The Wedding Chapel in the Glades, for brunch after our wedding on 9/6.

Good lunch spot. We hit it at a quiet time, but there was a steady flow of locals picking up take-out orders which is always a good sign. Fresh, quality food.

Did an online order, for lunch, while driving. Sat and waited a few. Got the kids hotdogs, fish tacos, cheeseburger and two Jacked Turkeys. Everything was excellent. Came out nice and hot for our short drive back to our cabin. Happy we found this place.

Good looking interior and very clean.
Jared H. via yelp.com - Aug 14, 2020
My husband and I came for brunch. It was very quiet, and a nice getaway from the noisy and very busy Gatlinburg Strip. The young lady at the counter was very sweet. Food was awesome, and not too pricey. We will definitely continue to come back. Awesome food and customer service!

We stumbled upon this gem as we looked for eateries off of the strip, where we'd been mostly disappointed in overpriced eats.
