Gatlinburg in the summer is definitely a gridlock of traffic, much like the beach area during the summer or Easter week.
Off season is the time to go and if you can't, then avoid Gatlinburg completely and take the scenic route into the park through Townsend, no traffic and very beautiful.
As to dining the Burning Bush Restuarant, Brass Lantern, Calhoun's, Wild Plum Tea Room, Park Grill, Peddler Steakhouse and Corky's are great places to eat.
