If you want to enjoy something truly local and not a chain restaurant ... this is the place. We stopped in to pick up 2 steamed sandwiches to take for a picnic near the water at Roaring Fork area. The sandwiched were fresh and tasty. Also, be sure to try the deviled eggs and potato salad, which are homemade by... More

We really enjoyed a delicious sandwich made fresh. Very nice owner and thanks to his mother for the yummy deviled eggs and potato salad.

Hidden gem. It's like having a family in the business. Park past the Hillbilly Golf and walk the black back. Worth the effort. Try the chili dogs.

After having food from a few chain places, I decided I wanted something truly local. Parton's Deli is right around the corner from the cabin we always stay in and I never even knew it was there! Parking is a pain, so I had my better half pull off while I went in and ordered food to go. The location... More

I have lived in Gatlinburg all my life and this is one of my family's favorite places to eat. It's always been great to go and see a friendly face and have a fabulous lunch. Also a great place to grab food for a quick picnic. Love their steamed sandwiches, homemade side of deviled eggs, and cakes. This deli is... More

This is one of those places that someone has to tell you about or you'll drive right by it. It does not look like much on the outside, but very warm and friendly on the inside. It's run by local folks that are extremely friendly and helpful. No parking and hard to get to due to construction, but worth the... More

The owner was charming and offered advice about our plan for the day in GSMNP. He made our sandwiches as we chatted and they were okay - the rolls were doughy - would have liked a crusty french-type roll instead. His shop is having a hard time because of the construction that ends right by his front door.

We usually always read reviews before choosing a restaurant, but we were walking down the Parkway close to our B&B and saw Parton's Deli and decided to try it. Can I just say, best steamed deli sandwich I have had since 1980! The owner was onsite and serving up the sandwiches himself. He uses a steamer to make these great... More

Nice laidback atmosphere...almost a "step back in time" Had roast beef and cheese on pumpernickel, nice and warml...quite likely the best deli sandwich I ever had. Had a side of some great deviled eggs. Highly recommend for a light lunch.
