We all love our breakfasts, the towering buttery pancakes, the crispy and salty hashbrowns, the rich omelets stuffed to the brim with every kind of topping imaginable. However, there is equally as much to be said about the wonders of lunch with mouth watering sandwiches and the juicy burgers just begging for you to sink your teeth into them. This is where the beauty of brunch comes in, a perfect mixture of all the best parts of both, wrapped up in a single meal that we can often enjoy with a mimosa or bit of sparkling wine. If you feel this way as well, then make sure you read on about our top five restaurants serving brunch in Pigeon Forge and the Smoky Mountains!
