I am always on the lookout for new restaurants serving pancakes in and around the Smoky Mountains, so on a trip from Pigeon Forge to Townsend I was excited to come across a new eatery in the heart of Wears Valley. It is hard to stand out among the many restaurants and gift shops lined up along both sides of the road and taking ones eyes off the road could be life threating but it is hard to pass by Hillbilly's without checkout the 194? Chevy Truck perched high above the road.
The centerpiece inside Hillbilly's is another Antique Chevy Truck displaying a moonshine still that once operated in Oak Ridge , TN.
Hillbilly's is fun and compared on many restaurants in the mountains. pretty reasonably priced. I especially liked the menu include a'la carte items along with breakfast specials. Pancakes, my specialty came plain or topped with strawberries, blueberries or chocolate chips. Bacon, sausage or ham is included in the price : 2 for $5.95 0r 3 for $6.95. The Banana Foster French Toast almost turned me into a pancake trader but I thought I would try them on my next visit. Traditional biscuits and gravy come with cathead biscuits for $5.95 and the serving was big enough to share.
Hillbilly's is a great addition to the breakfast scene in the Smokies. The fun was good, service friendly and fast and the décor made me smile. Best of all it's located off the strip and any excuse to take a trip to Wear's Valley is a good thing.
