★★★★★ 5.0 O “Love to travel” H · Jan 2026

This diner is a true gem! From the friendly welcome to the cozy, classic atmosphere, everything felt just right. The menu had all the comfort-food favorites, and every bite was delicious, fresh, and perfectly cooked. The service was quick and attentive. Portions were very generous and prices were fair. If you’re looking for a spot with great food and excellent service, this diner absolutely delivers.

We were in Gatlinburg a few weeks ago, stopped by Sun Dine. What a gem. Lunch/brunch was delicious. Gina our server was fabulous. Design inside was outstanding. Prices were just as great. Make this restaurant a must on your list of new places to try.

★★★★★ 5.0 Tessa Newman · Jan 2026

We are so glad that we found this incredible breakfast spot in Gatlinburg, TN. It is located next to Jason Aldean's if anyone needs a point of reference. We were welcomed in and seated right away. We were then greeted by server Gina. What an incredible spirit she has! So glad that we got her as a server. She was very knowledgeable about what to eat and what would go best with everything. The amount of food for the price is exactly what we needed to fill our empty stomachs! Great friendly vibe and great atmosphere at the Sun Diner! Stop on by and grab a bite to eat!

Hit this little hidden gem the Monday before Thanksgiving, after walking for an hour trying to find a place to eat breakfast that didn’t have a 1.5 hr waitlist. This diner was mid-way down the main stretch in Gatlinburg, and is easy to miss. Paid parking is around $20 for the day, and there are several lots throughout the city. Not much street parking outside of that. We were in town when everything was at capacity. Our wait was around 35 minutes. The dining room is an eclectic mix of classic rock decor, with a lot of records and photographs decorating the walls. Seating is unique - there were tables and booths available at the rear of the restaurant, but most seating was barstool seating at U-shaped counters coming off the cooking area, with an aisle up the middle the server waited the t
