Loosin’ your belts, and pick up your forks. It’s time to treat your mouth to some grits, gravy and biscuits (pancakes too, of course).

Flapjack’s Pancake Cabin is located just off the main strip in Gatlinburg, on East Parkway. Why should you eat breakfast here? They don’t cut corners!  Celebrating 13 years in business here in the Great Smoky Mountain region, Flapjack’s breakfast menu has something delicious for everyone.

It’s hard to miss Flapjack’s Pancakes on 321 (East Parkway) just out of Gatlinburg – the building does look like a big log cabin and there is ample parking in front. The inside is quaint, with wooden booths and ornate wall decorations, setting the stage for some good, down-home southern cooking done right.

Some favorite menu items of ours at Flapjack’s Pancake Cabin:

Skillet Potatoes!
These potatoes are no joke. Order them as a side and smother them with their house-special sawmill gravy, and you’ll be in potato heaven.

“The Works” Omelette
Eggs cooked to perfection with the perfect portions of Ham, Sausage, Mushrooms, Tomatoes, Onions and Cheese.

The #1
2 Eggs (cooked the way you like), and 3 delicious buttermilk pancakes (add a side of Skillet Potatoes if you’re looking for an early morning nap!).

Smoky Mountain Club 
Country cooking meets simplicity. Grilled Texas Toast book ending a stack of shaved ham, smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, and cheese with mayo on the side.

Low-Carb Breakfast Skillet
For the non-complex carbohydrate lover. 3 eggs with cheese, a piece of bacon, 2 pieces of sausage, and a piece of whole wheat toast.

Spanish Skillet 
This is definitely a must-try. A load of skillet potatoes covered with 2 eggs, tomatoes, green peppers, onions, sausage, and cheese with a side of salsa and sour cream.

With the generous portion sizes and all the freshly made biscuits you can handle, you’ll definitely wanna save room for this breakfast experience.
