Where do I start.... When I walked into the door I had a bad feeling.. The door attendants were obviously not interested in much of anything. Although there was no line...it took about five minutes for us to be seated. While the EXTERIOR of the builded gives off a fun/festive flair, interior ambiance/decor fair at best and kinda drab. Waitress...refilled... more

My family has been going to Gatlinburg for years, and we'd never tried No Way Jose's even though I'd always wanted to. This year as we were driving by at lunchtime we saw that there was parking available (which is a plus in Gatlinburg) so we stopped for lunch. Staff: Awful. They may not be awful all the time, and... more

This resturant looks great from the outside and the inside is just as nicely furnished, but the food was not the greatest. I've had better Mexican food for half the price in my own hometown. I really enjoy Mexican food, but I wasn't impressed at all with this food. Definatly reconsider because there are so many other wonderful places to... more

The perfect location for an afternoon snack being right next to the Aquarium. I personally loved the unique chips and drinks. We only had an appetizer, but it was great. Will definitely eat there the next time we are in Gatlinburg. more

The food didn't seem to have alot of flavor and was overpriced -- but what isn't in Gatlinburg. My husband had a Margarita and it had a funky taste. The chips were different and cost extra for more than 1 basket. The fajitas smelled great but didn't live up to the expectations. The steak in my Steak Nachos was chewy.... more

We recently ate at No Way Jose and had a pretty good experience. The food was a little pricey for Mexican but what food isn't a little overpriced in Gatlinburg? We found the service to be friendly and adequate and the food was tasty. We would certainly go back. Oh, don't let the other reviews fool you. The salsa is... more

1/19 @ 1:45 - 4 people in line already. No problem. Hostess couldn't tell us how long the wait would be and wouldn't take our name, etc. People in front of us had been in line for 20 minutes and had not moved - they were the only ones in line in front of us. We waited about 20 more... more

We have eaten at this restaurant at least a dozen times, since we have a cottage in Gatlinburg that is within walking distance of the restaurant, and we visit several times a year. We have always had good service, and with two toddlers, friendly, prompt service is very important! Their childrens menu is good, and we highly recommend their ultimate... more

Our first time to eat at No Way Jose's...The host at the front door was terrible & quite rude! Our server was very nice, but we only saw him a couple of times. Service was SLOW!! The food was very good!!! We love mexican food and eat it often. We really enjoyed the food here, so hopefully the service will... more
