The Wild Plum is a bit out of the way but it is well worth the effort. It is a cute little building nestled on the side of the road next to a wooded area and a small creek. The tables inside have white lace tablecloths and mixed china is used. My mother and I both got the iced tea... More

This is a place for girlfriends to meet for a nice lunch in rustic surroundings. The food was so fresh and good but the wild plum tea was the best. The surroundings are quite and relaxing and the staff is quite friendly and welcoming. A little off the beaten path but well worth checking out.

A cute little tucked away tea room. We missed the parking lot the first two times we passed by but it was a great find! The tea was very refreshing and the desserts were some of our favorites in gatlinburg. We would definitely come back!

This was a delightful change from the touristy downtown Gatlinburg and the heavy emphasis on BBQ (not that that wasn't good, too). But the Wild Plum is a perfect respite from that - even though it's yards from the road, the outdoor dining area feels secluded from the outside world. The menu had something for everyone in our group. The... More

This place is such a treat. The food was wonderful. My husband had lobster pie and he loved it. I had the smoked salmon sandwich and it was great also. I highly recommend the dessert sampler. It is served in small wine goblets. It was soooo great. I love that all the food is served on different beautiful and unique... More

On a recent visit to Gatlinburg I visited the tea room for the second time. It was just as amazing as the first. Service is very good and the atmosphere very unique. The food was simply wonderful. They start you with plum muffins and I choose the iced tea. The tea is very refreshing . I choose the Wild Plum... More

Absolutely wonderful lunch; beautiful setting; delicious plum tea; varied menu; enticing deserts; every dish looked to be carefully prepared and graciously served; prices are very reasonable and considering the quality of the food and the quality of the service, it is probably the best bargain you will find in all of Gatlinburg- and well worth it.

Everything was fresh, delicious and served with a smile. The plum iced tea and plum muffins served before the meal were a nice touch. Feels like eating at your grandmother's house; the porch is full of tables covered in bright white lace tablecloths and it's screened in to prevent the bugs from getting into everything. Would return again even though... More

The Wild Plum Tea Room is a great place for lunch! We liked this place so much, we ate here twice during our week in Gatlinburg. Arrive early (they are only open from 11-3, Monday - Saturday). If the weather is nice, sit outside on the deck. The Wild Plum Tea is not to be missed - it is delicious.... More
