Quaint little spot in The Glades (Arts and Crafts) area of Gatlinburg, very close to the cabin. Outdoor dining available, delicious luncheon!

Located in Gatlinburg’s historic Arts and Crafts Community, Wild Plum Tea Room offers a rarified opportunity to enjoy fine cuisine in a homey, cabin-like venue. When naming it one of the 10 Best Restaurants in the State, The Tennessean newspaper described it as “quaint and whimsical…set off the beaten path.” Although the menu is ever-evolving, it does include vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options. A recent day’s menu included: Appetizers, including Hot Pimento Cheese Dip with celery and crackers, Buffalo Cauliflower with ranch or blue cheese dressing, and Baked Brie. Soup favorites like Sherried Tomato Bisque and Mediterranean Stew — a hearty combination of beef, Italian sausage, pork, cabbage, red peppers, and garbanzo beans in a port red wine sauce. They also offered a vegan bowl. Entrees included Chicken Salad with fresh fruit and a warm scone or a Wild Plum Medley. The Sandwich of the Day was Ham, Havarti Cheese, and Orange Pecan Mustard Grill. Chef Specials on this particular day were Lobster Pie — a whole claw Maine lobster in artichoke cream sauce, a touch of cayenne paper, and dried mustard, topped with a puff pastry — and their famous Bison Burger stuffed with smoked gouda cheese, garlic, and a special combination of seasonings. Other unique options included a Strata of the Day — a quiche-like bread pudding served with either fresh fruit, the soup of the day, or salad of the day – and a Wild Plum Dessert Sampler. Inside Tips: Wild Plum Tea Room is a cash-only business and does not accept credit cards. Although reservations are highly encouraged, same day reservations are not accepted. Make sure to call at least one day in advance. Wild Plum’s parking lot is relatively small. You can park in the lot across the street. Be careful walking across Buckhorn Road though as it has no sidewalks and is normally quite busy. The restaurant is not totally handicap accessible. While there is handicap parking in front and the first floor is accessible, the upstairs area and restrooms are not. Wild Plum is dog friendly with dogs welcomed on the outside porch deck. Make sure your pooch is on a leash in order to keep everyone happy.

Homemade EVERYTHING.... unique eats, i.e., an incredible lobster pie, chucked full of fresh lobster meat! Reservations are recommended, to avoid a long wait. This place should not be missed.
