Parton's Deli 332 Parkway, Gatlinburg, TN 37738

"After visiting this gem for 14 years, Its sad to think that we may not be back. Sometimes a business can thrive without the face of the original owner, who was happy to see his patrons walk in the door. We tried to go twice on our trip to Gatlinburg this week, the first time it was closed early which we understood could be a family emergency or something unexpected. We went back the next day and were treated like we were a total bother to the woman behind the counter. We decided to go to a place that was happy to see customers walk in! I am hopeful this can get straightened out and it continue to be a staple of Gatlinburg. I am not one to leave negative reviews but we have tried to reach out and had no luck. I hope the new owners will read this and make adjustments. I would be happy to remove this review if to help this business thrive."

"On my bucket list to eat here. Rode past the deli since I was a child. Finally made time to eat here on a Saturday. Dawn was a wonderful hostess/sandwich maker. I ordered the roast beef sub(heated) & was one of best ever ate. Highly recommend this place."

"Very disappointed. In the photo you can see my teeth marks in the upper right corner of the roast beef. It's clearly not edible. I threw the sandwich out and started eating the potato salad. That's where I discovered under cooked bacon fat. I was too far from the store to go back to get my $17 refund."

"This was a great find on Google! The food was excellent and the only worker in there was making sandwiches and taking orders so there was a bit of a wait, but for only worker it wasn't bad. The food is a little pricey but worth for all fresh ingredients sliced every day. My got a Reuben and said it was fantastic and I got a turkey sandwich and it was delicious as well. Definitely a nice little sandwich shop to swing in and grab a nice deli style sandwich!"
