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.

Don't Miss

All-You-Can-Eat Breakfast Buffet

The star attraction with pancakes, French toast, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, grits, and a full fruit bar. Everything stays hot and fresh, and the value beats most hotel breakfasts hands down.

Famous Fluffy Pancakes

These aren't your average diner pancakes - they're legitimately fluffy and light. The buffet lets you try different toppings and take as many as you want without paying per stack.

Biscuits and Gravy

Consistently mentioned in reviews as a standout item. The gravy is creamy and flavorful, and the biscuits are made fresh throughout the morning.

Two Convenient Parkway Locations

Both spots serve identical food, so if one location is packed, you can try the other just a few minutes down the road. Smart for busy weekend mornings.

Holiday Reliability

Open every single day including holidays when most other breakfast spots close. We've used this as our backup plan more times than we can count.

À-la-Carte Menu Option

Many visitors don't realize you can skip the buffet entirely and order made-to-order breakfast from their regular menu. Great for lighter appetites or faster service during rush times.
