About Reagan's House of Pancakes
Reagan's House of Pancakes stands out among Pigeon Forge breakfast spots with two convenient Parkway locations serving up one of the area's most reliable breakfast buffets. At $13.99 for adults, this American restaurant delivers better value than most hotel offerings, especially considering the extensive spread.
The all-you-can-eat buffet features fresh-made pancakes that come out consistently fluffy, alongside French toast, bacon, sausage, eggs cooked to order, and Southern staples like biscuits and gravy. A well-maintained fruit bar adds lighter options to the mix. Everything stays hot and fresh thanks to attentive staff who monitor and replenish items throughout service.
Timing matters here - weekend mornings between 8:30-11 AM draw the biggest crowds, so arrive before 8 AM or after 11:30 AM for shorter waits. The restaurant operates daily (including holidays) but closes promptly at 12:30 PM, making it a reliable choice when other spots are shuttered.
Both locations maintain the same menu and quality standards, with servers who keep the coffee flowing and tables cleared. Families appreciate the kid-friendly atmosphere and variety that satisfies both picky eaters and hearty appetites. The buffet format works especially well for groups wanting to try multiple items without the wait of made-to-order dishes.
While Reagan's House of Pancakes isn't fancy, it delivers exactly what most Pigeon Forge visitors want in a breakfast spot: generous portions, reasonable prices, and consistently good food that fuels a day of mountain activities. Just remember to factor in potential wait times during peak tourist season and weekend mornings.
