Smokey Mountain Brewery

Looking for a park on the Gatlinburg strip can be quite a challenge. We found parking and 3 restaurants that reviews said were a good place for GF. You can park behind “Calhouns” and this restaurant. There are times you may need to pay $10 to park. Anyway, on with the review.

They have 1 menu with Gluten Free options tagged. There are a variety of foods you can get prepared GF. I had the Philly Steak with onions, peppers and cheese on top of a GF hamburger bun with Mashed Potatoes. It was very good. As always, speak to the waiter to ensure they understand it is “an allergy”. Not just for, Kicks and Giggles. Would return.

GF pizza and GF bun for extra charge. The waiter knew a little about Gluten but did recommend not to eat fries bec they are cooked in the same fryer as everything else. My husband had a burger on gf bun and baked potato. He was fine. Also $10 for almost 10 beers 5oz was amazing! Check them out.

The waitstaff was super sweet with great service, but unfortunately within 30 min of eating I got very sick. I’m not a celiac, just gluten sensitive and it really did a number on me. I got the gluten free pizza, Caesar salad (no croutons) along with the summer sausage plate as an appetizer.

We are new to eating out with recently diagnosed celiac daughter & are still learning to ask all the questions. Staff was very attentive. Server let us know that when we ordered the manager would come over and take order personally to the kitchen & that they take food restrictions seriously. Made recommendations from menu. Server was great. Because of that we didn’t ask all the questions we should. Burger was very good- daughter said best bun she’s had. Mashed potatoes were good. Great live music. However daughter said her stomach hurt some that night & she felt off the rest of the next day (& next day)- her symptoms aren’t immediate and aren’t primarily GI related- but can’t be sure if it was from here or from brunch the next day. Have leaned to ask more questions.

Many items marked GF are NOT GF. They say because they are potatoes they are GF. Not taking into considerations how they are cooked. The Philly cheesesteaks with GF bun (no reaction 5 hours) with mashed potatoes.

The menu listed items that could be made Gluten Free. This included chili and other entrees. We have two kids with Celiac Disease. We notified our server when we arrived of our kids food allergies and then ordered the Gluten Free items on the menu. These included braised spinach and the naked chicken wings that re listed as Gluten Free. The waitress took our orders and then when we continue to ask questions about the separate dryer and ingredients such as spices she went to the back to get the chef/cook. He then told us his spices were unsafe on the wings and that actually nothing in the kitchen would be safe for people with a real medical food allergy. He then said that his pizzas that are labeled as Gluten Free really aren’t because they are in the same area as the flour pizzas and that they are throwing the pizzas in the air and flour is flying ever where. We soon realized that their menu was definitely not Gluten Free and were so happy we caught it before our kids had eaten what they had labeled as safe. Very disappointing and the chef/cook was not helpful whatsoever. Will not be back. The food was also not very good at all.

Celiac friendly?

No

Our server was very GF knowledgeable. I went to order the french fries, which were labeled as GF on the menu, but he informed me that they were cooked in the same fryer as other items Not GF. Had the sausage/ cheese appetizer plate, and the philly Cheesesteak with potato salad, and it was great!

Stellar service! Our waiter Timothy D was one cool dude. The GF pizza is killer and they have several other menu options that are GF marked with a “no wheat symbol”.

We wanted to order wings off the menu that was labeled gf. We asked the server if they share the same frier with other foods and she replied yes. However, the cook was willing to bake them to ensure they are gf.

The gf pizza was delicious also!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The menu has gluten free symbols on the items that can be made gluten free. Wait staff is super friendly and accommodating.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The Philly cheesesteak was amazing and totally GF. Be careful the menu says the fries are GF but our server was on top of it

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Service was really slow, so if you eat here do not be in a hurry. Gluten free pizza was not good and my kids didn't like gluten free buns. Even checking out took forever. Food was ok, nothing great.

Servers were very aware and helpful. Pizza wasn't great, but my son liked it enough to go back and that's all that really matters.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great service and good gluten free options! Veggie philly was awesome!

Gluten free buns were very good! We had a burger and the philly cheesesteak on gfree buns. Pizza was okay, my kids enjoyed it. The gluten free options were clearly marked on the menu, which was great!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free pizza. Staff very helpful...

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent service by very knowledgeable staff. Tim was very good and asked the kitchen to make an appetizer gluten free for us. (Potato skins without the beer cheese). Also lots of options on their regular menu. Food was delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The best gluten free buns I’ve had, really good service, and gluten free beer.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The Slizzin Steak was amazing!! The side salad was great as well! Wasn't a fan of the honey mustard potato salad, but over all was a great dinner!!

I could not eat there because there was cross contamination and I didn't want to risk anything

Good GF pizza (I don't like a lot of sauce, some of the best Blue cheese dressing I've ever had (TN blue cheese), and great Mules (source an alcohol free ginger beer). Will be back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF items on regular menu. Had the pizza. It was good. Did not get sick. I made sure the staff knew how sensitive to gluten I am.

edible and didn't make me sick, but nothing special. got the gluten free pizza. very small and very few toppings on it. crust was okay. the burgers look good, but there's no gf bun option

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great looking menu but I got really sick. I do not recommend eating here. I even called ahead to make sure they took necessary precautions but obviously they did not.

Celiac friendly?

No

Had the gf pizza--pretty good. The 10inch was smaller than expected but definitely filling for one person. My husband had the Philly cheesesteak and loved it. Separate gf menu. No gf beer :(

service was good, separate GF menu, but wound not recommend the Philly cheese steak, did not get sick, but didn't taste good.

Great experience and didn’t get sick. The manager took a lot of time to explain the way they would cook my food separate and which choices would be the least risk for cross contamination. They list gluten friendly options on their menu but it was so nice having a chance to ask the staff to cook things separately and talk through their process for my order.

Had the brewmasters club salad and it was great. The kitchen sanitized the salad station and used fresh utensils. I was confident in their precautions.

The food was fine but not great. They have gf buns which opens up a lot of the menu and everything that can be made gf is labeled! I felt totally fine afterward too.

Clearly stated I have gluten allergy (celiac) when I sat down and again when I ordered. Got the burger w GF bun and broccoli with beer cheese side that they said they could make and have labeled on the menu as GF. After taking a few bites I asked to double check that the cheese doesn't have beer. Turns out the waitress did not have them modify the cheese so it did indeed have beer added to it. The manager came to the table and apologized and took my food off the bill. I discussed the danger of having things labeled GF and not having a protocol in place, esp when my buger was marked as GF. Unfortunately an apology will not make me feel better.
