Crema's Take
“Joe Merchant's is a casual counter-service spot inside the Margaritville Hotel that does decent meat sandwiches and breakfast, but the rating of 3.6 based on only 7 reviews is too thin to trust and reflects real inconsistency—some visitors praise the coffee and food, while others report slow service and disappointing dishes. The most honest read is that it works as a convenient grab-and-go for hotel guests, but don't expect anything memorable, and service can be frustratingly slow even when the place isn't busy.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

We really like the Margaritaville Hotel and find it first class in most ways. The Joe Merchant’s Coffee and Provisions is not really one of them. This is a small sandwich and coffee restaurant off the lobby. The food is average and the service is okay, but not very friendly.…
Order: Spinach Omelet Ham and Cheese Omelet All American Breakfast Price: $60 All food took 30-40 minutes to come out while other people behind us got their food much quicker. None of the food was seasoned at all. Spinach Omelet: Dry and had 5 leafs of spinach on top…
We stopped in before leaving Gatlinburg. Baristas were super courteous! I got an iced coffee and a warm cinnamon bun. Nice clean cafe area. Also a large orange tom cat crossed our path in the parking lot and we were greatly pleased.
Try the breakfast menu for a tasty, filling meal. We couldn't get enough of their coffee!! Tried a variety of different drinks and loved them all.
