Hands down the best wings I have ever had in my life. That is coming from a wing connoisseur.

Maybe I was expecting too much based on the tone of this place. Alisha was truly what pushed this to a four star.Pulled pork was a bit on the dry side and a bit tough. Baked beans were only mildy flavored. The true hit it out of the park item was the biscuit.I've had BBQ across the country and this is good, not great and certainly not bad.

Extremely disappointed. Bennett's used to be our favorite restaurant in Gatlinburg & PF. NOT anymore. We visit the area from New Orleans at least 4 to 5 times a year for the past 10 to 15 years. The Johnson Family changed the menu for the worse. The smoked sausage used to be the best I've ever had. It has now changed to some sort of frozen jalapeno' meat thing that I'm sure they purchased from Food-City. The Pulled-Pork Potato-Skins have been removed from the menu. However, our waitress said "you can still order the potato-skins and just add the pulled pork". Ok, makes sense. However, the "new" potato skins are not only MUCH smaller, but also looks, feels and tastes like the frozen potato-skins you buy at Costco. Oh, and the "add pulled pork"? She brought out a small container of shredded pork on the side. Both the smoked sausage and potato-skins w/pulled pork added was gross and almost uneatable. Ordered a Bud-Lite draft - "oh sorry sir, we're out of Bud-Lite". It wasn't a very busy time of the year or day so not exactly sure how they "ran out" of Bud-Lite. Will never return. Avoid this place. Go to Boss Hoggs on Wears Valley Road for MUCH BETTER FOOD.

My husband and I stopped here in a Saturday afternoon. There was no wait and we received our food really quickly. We both really enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich. The Mac and cheese was a little thick and overall creamy for my taste but I would absolutely go back for the BBQ.Parking: This is located in downtown Gatlinburg. If you are lucky you can find free street parking otherwise it is paid.

Sat for 10 minutes before being greeted. Ordered beers, yuengling. Sorry out for over 2 weeks. Ordered 2 blue moons, one w orange and we got none. He said the oranges looked rough. Ok.. ordered the pot skins for and app. That was rough to choke down. Split 2 meals w the wife. Burnt ends w greens and beans and a half slab w Mac and potato salad. Everything was cold besides the potato salad. Ribs dry and unseasoned, burnt ends very soggy and unseasoned, Mac was Gordon or Sysco frozen product. Greens had zero flavor! Worst I’ve ever had! Potato salad was ok and the beans… not bad! Biscuit was the best part of the meal.

Get the fried cheese squares with pork chili as a starter. It was so good.For the main course, I got the brisket platter with green beans and baked beans. The sides were pretty standard--perfectly fine but nothing stood out.The actual brisket had good flavor but seemed as though it had been sliced earlier and left to warm for a while. I am not sure if that was the case, but it's my best guess since it was a bit dry.Overall, perfectly fine for the price given the tourist area. The cheese squares stood out (I'd make a meal of just those) but I've had better BBQ.

Listen, whatever you do, do not eat here!!! First off, our waitress was higher than a cooter bird. Secondly, they put queso cheese on our potato skins. Thirdly, the ribs were dry as the desert. Finally, the greens tasted like they were soaked in vinegar water. Five stars where? Nothing about their food was appetizing. I wouldn't recommend this food for free. The food was very disrespectful!! I want my money back forreal. One more thing, the waitress had the audacity to say, "Come again." The below asks what food item we recommend, I can not give the review without a selection. I wish I could give it negative stars. I'm pissed off!!

Googled for BBQ places around me, this place came on top and had good reviews. Not sure if we just weren't lucky, but our food was terrible. Brisket was dry, hog legs were dry and way too much sauce on them, chicken wings were worse than at Dominos. Chicken leg that came with Texas platter was also dry. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
