Smoky Mountain Hideaway

Mount Glorious

Updated: Apr 06, 2025

Smoky Mountain Hideaway is a secret smokehouse perched on the side of Mount Glorious, offering stunning views and authentic American fare with a southern twist. 

Located on a bend of the winding mountain road, this hidden gem is well-worth a pit stop, providing dining inside a light-filled room and outside on a large deck, with both spaces boasting beautiful bush views.

Smoky Mountain Hideaway, Mount Glorious

The hilltop hideaway offers delicious American fare with a side of southern hospitality, from the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina to Mount Glorious. Everything is made on-site including the mouth-watering smoked meats, house made BBQ sauce, and handmade potato and pale ale sourdough buns.

Breakfast (served from 9-11am) includes fried chicken and homemade waffles with maple syrup; crispy livermush topped with snoked sour cream & spring onions on a crunchy tortilla; huevos rancheros and Shrimp & Grits (topped with Cajun-spiced prawns, onions, garlic, and capsicum pan-fried in butter).

For something lighter, there's a choice of 'Stuff in a Biscuit' (smaller bites sandwiched into a homemade, buttermilk biscuit) with fillings like Dr Seuss (thick-cut pan-fried ham, mini omelette & BBQ sauce); and The Bronson (chicken fried steak with fried egg, homemade jalapeno queso & chimichurri); and Under the Weather (slab of livermush with mayo and mustard).
