By the time Pigeon Forge firefighters arrived at the once famous All American Pancake House on New Year’s Eve it was 60% engulfed in flames. The more than 20 year old building was a famous landmark on the strip in downtown Pigeon Forge visited by loyal patrons who now mourn its loss. It was located at the intersection of 441 and Wears Valley Road.
The age of the building and its mostly wood construction contributed to its quick demise as firefighters admitted there wasn’t much they could do to extinguish the blaze. Friends of the restaurant owner were able to help salvage most of the food in the restaurant’s freezer.
For those still needing a great place to get a delicious breakfast I’ve been to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg a number of times over the years and our favorite restaurant has been the rival Log Cabin Pancake House. The Pigeon Forge location is at 4235 Parkway – Pigeon Forge, TN and the Gatlinburg location is 327 Historic Nature Trail, Gatlinburg, TN.
Don’t worry Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge vacationers, even though one of the most famous landmarks in town is now gone, you won’t go hungry.
