If you’re cruising through the Smoky Mountains and find yourself in Pigeon Forge, do yourself a favor—make a pit stop at the Sunliner Diner. This 1950s-themed eatery isn’t just a meal; it’s an experience that brings vintage vibes, classic American eats, and serious photo ops to the table.
From the moment you spot the shiny chrome exterior and vintage cars parked out front, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped straight into a scene from Grease. Inside, it’s retro heaven—checkerboard floors, bright red vinyl booths (some inside actual classic cars!), and waitstaff dressed in period attire. The atmosphere alone is worth the visit, whether you’re traveling with kids, enjoying a nostalgic date, or dining solo with a milkshake and a smile.
Speaking of milkshakes, the menu is as impressive as the décor. Breakfast is served all day (yes, please!), and you’ll find everything from hearty country breakfasts to towering burgers, hand-spun shakes, fresh salads, and indulgent desserts. Whether you’re craving a Big Daddy-O Breakfast, a classic Sunliner Burger, or a waffle piled high with whipped cream and strawberries, there’s something for everyone—including vegetarian options and kid-friendly plates.
Located at 2302 Parkway, Pigeon Forge, TN, the Sunliner Diner is open daily:
- Sunday–Thursday: 8 AM to 9 PM
- Friday & Saturday: 8 AM to 10 PM
It’s centrally located, making it an easy add to your Smoky Mountain itinerary—just minutes from Dollywood and right in the heart of the action. And if you’re like me, you’ll want to snap a few pics for Instagram before your food even arrives!
📸 Pro Tip: Order a milkshake, grab a seat in the classic convertible booth, and get ready for those likes to roll in. #RetroVibesOnly
