    The Mother’s Day buffet offered an excellent variety of menu choices, and the desserts were especially delicious. The atmosphere was quiet, relaxing, and laid back. Our server, Adina T., took great care of us and provided outstanding service. Thank you to the entire staff for making our visit so enjoyable, and great job all around! Mike Sevierville, TN

    We had a wonderful meal at Southern Comfort - Westgate Smoky Mountain Resort during our trip to Gatlinburg. Tucked a bit off the beaten path inside the resort, the restaurant has a charming and relaxed atmosphere that made for a great dining experience. The food was absolutely delicious and the portions were generous, definitely the kind of comforting meal you leave happy and full from. A special shoutout to our server Fabian, who was friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the meal. His service helped make the experience even more enjoyable. If you’re staying nearby or looking for a cozy spot with hearty food and welcoming service, Southern Comfort is definitely worth a visit.
