Merry Christmas

Today is Christmas Eve. I have spent the better part of the morning calling all my favorite Pancake Places in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Sevierville checking to see if any would be open on Christmas Day. Unfortunately for visitors but good for the employees, most restaurants in the mountains are closed on Christmas. One exception is the Partridge in a Pear Tree Restaurant ,2480 Parkway, Pigeon Forge,serving Christmas Dinner from 11 until 7 p.m. The Partridge will be serving from their Christmas Traditions menu which includes; Baked ham, roasted turkey, pork or beef for $24.99 for adults and $11.99 for children 3to 12 years old. I would suggest calling for reservations at 865-868-0575. Calhoun's in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg will also be opened on Christmas. Best known for their rib's, they will be serving from their standard menu from 11 - 10:30 p.m. Calhoun's in Pigeon Forge is located in the Walden's Landing Shopping Center at the Wear's Valley Intersection and in Gatlingburg at 1004 Parkway.Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.
