Restaurants in Pigeon Forge

“We go here everytime we are in Pigeon Forge. We were there just this past week. Always a good atmosphere and good food. Love the set up and the music. Our waitress was Alleen and she was sweet and so friendly. Last year we were there and met another wonder person named Angel.”

“Awesome place and huge portions.”

“Great food and friendly staff. I would recommend especially for the kids.”

“Amazing food and service! Visited twice over the weekend and will definitely be back! Probably the best restaurant we have experienced in a while in the area. Must tries: smoked wings, cheese curds, fried green tomatoes,Reuben, burgers and fries. The beer was amazing, very clean lines. Great overall experience!”

“Always a mandatory stop when in Pigeon Forge! Usually end up coming 2 or 3 times while visiting. Great staff, great atmosphere, nice selection of draft beers, and some of the best bartenders!”

“The burgers here are soo flavorful. My brother in law got the Diablo. He said it was one of his favorite burgers, a bit messy but totally worth it. My son got the island, in which he said “he doesn’t want any other burgers from here and out.” 😂 My husband and I split two entrees, one being the Italy, and the other being the Bacon bomber! Let’s just say they’re both phenomenal entrees. Soo much flavor in both. Each entree had its own unique taste and flavors in which tie soo well together. I was especially impressed with their sweet potato fries. The seasoning is sweet but not too sweet and the fries were fresh and perfect texture. Both my brother in law and son got the poppers with their burgers and said they were the best. I’d vouch for that because on the bacon bomber comes poppers and they’re soo satisfying. I’d highly recommend this place! My family and I will most certainly be back.”

“We were looking for place to eat when we walked by the restaurant. A beautiful very friendly young woman (Janelle) invited us to eat there. She told us about the menu etc. We were seated at a table by the river. The building was beautifully decorated and the candles added to the great ambiance. We started off with salad, meatballs and wings. We then sampled many different pizzas. You can also request the chef to make a custom pizza. We followed up with a sampling of dessert pizza. The food was delicious and the service was excellent.”

“This place is nothing like anything in the Smokies. We took the family to get here and it’s Latin cuisine with a few tasty twists. The atmosphere was great and the food was delicious. It is attached to the Wayback hotel which is across from the Island. Great food option while you are in Pigeon Forge area.”

“Awesome place. Non buzzed shake/ice cream is even amazing. Highly recommend going here.”

“If you are coming to Tennessee I highly recommend going here! We had the best time! The food tasted great, our server was just the sweetest, and the show was amazing! I am definitely going back!!!

Kid-friendliness: Yes I would bring my kids here they would love the show!”

“Great atmosphere! I recommend the Heavenly Roast to all of my friends visiting the area! We drove all the way from Michigan and always make the Heavenly Roast one of our first stops 🫡🤙🏼”

“We just came in and oh my gosh it was absolutely delicious. I had the pot roast sandwich and it literally melted in your mouth. Definitely give them a try you wont regret it.”

“Love to find these places outside of south Florida. Their food is great! Highly recommend when you come for Dollywood.”

“This is our Go to place when we go back to TN! Love their pizza, a Must if your in town! Fellow West Virginian 💙💛💚🍕”

“Just had dinner there 11/3/24 and was excellent. Natalie was our waitress and did a fantastic job. Didn’t have to wait n was seated immediately. Highly reccomend.”

“All the food was delicious. The kids loved the experience. I chose applesauce as their side and the portion was underwhelming, but the quality of the main courses was excellent. The game card for the kids was a nice touch. The quality and variety of the games in the arcade was so fun and entertaining. As an OT and mom I appreciate they have a nursing room and calming room for overstimulated kids (or adults!). Great addition to Pigeon Forge!”

“My husband and I absolutely loved I
Every part of. I'm sad to say now it's not affordable for a family of 5. The little ones would never eat 1/4 of meal. We just adopted last year and hoped to bring them next week. But just can't afford it”

“The show was great, between the acrobatics and general aesthetics for a pirate them. Food was awesome, I ate every last bit .... Other than the apple turnover, it was good I was just too full at that point”

“we had a dinner here for my brother's wedding, the staff and experience were second to none. thank you!”

“A heart to honor Jesus Christ, introduce Jesus to others, and encourage His people. Great singing and show. Performed with excellence, because obviously talented actors, had practiced well, and were supported with super props. After a week at Jubilee, Biblical Times Theater was a great plus to cap off our time in Gatlinburg.”

“Just left the restaurant. Food was very good..hot and served to order. Good atmosphere, great server. His name was John. Took good care of us, refills, rolls to the table, and checked back frequently. All in all, a great dining experience!”

“Best meal ever!! Yum We left full. Good value”

“Jeanne is THE BEST waitress at Bullfish! You will not be disappointed with the food, service and atmosphere with her. I come down every year and always stop in just because of her and her hospitality.”

“Fantastic atmosphere! Our server was calling the beer I drank “lesbian beer” lmao!!🤣 Great place!”

“worst service ever at a live music venue felt rushed the whole entire time was never asked if I would like a dessert or anything before check was brought out I will not be back”

“I ordered the potato pancakes as per usual, they were amazing. Will continue to return for this tasty appetizer. This is the whole reason I come. The other food is great but if you can get your hands on some of these potato pancakes with applesauce, you’re in for a treat.”

“We ate here on Friday evening and had to come back on Saturday for more prime rib. Thanks to Summer for the great service she provided us, she was the best and the food was delicious! It had been years since we ate here but it will be our go to going forward!!”

“the food is delicious. We had the full experience. We started with salads then there was no wait for the grilled meat and pineapple to start. The lamb chops with mint jelly are the absolute best I have ever had.”

“Dinner was delicious and the show was great! Our kids ages 2-12 enjoyed it as well!”

“Our experience was awesome! My wife is an ICU Nurse and very sensitive to indoor dining no matter how many precautions are taking by the establishment. I was told the outdoor dining had been closed for the season. After a brief explanation to my wife’s story, Kristin offered to seat us outdoors and offered incredible service. She is a true asset to your organization. We will surely be back! Please be sure your staff (Kristin) knows our appreciation. Thanks again for a job well done! Jamie Weatherford”

“The staff was so friendly. Best hashbrowns anywhere! I don’t have to order them extra crispy because they already come that way!”

“If you’re in Pigeon Forge and love pizza, J Del’s Pizza is an absolute must-visit! After trying a few different places in the area, we can confidently say that J Del’s had the best regular pizza we tasted—perfectly crispy crust, rich sauce, and fresh, delicious toppings. But what really made our experience unforgettable was their amazing customer service. We needed gluten-free pizza, and the owner went out of his way to make it happen! He told us that if we brought in gluten-free crust from Publix, they would make our pizzas fresh. We took them up on the offer, and WOW—the gluten-free pizzas were just as incredible as the regular ones! Great food, great people, and a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere. This is the kind of small business that truly cares about its customers. If you’re in Pigeon Forge, do yourself a favor and stop by J Del’s—you won’t regret it!”

“Brick and Spoon was fantastic!! We started off with the beignets which were superb. I had the Killer Creole omelette, which was stellar. The omelette was fluffy and the shrimp and Tasso inside was seasoned perfectly with the right amount of Cajun spice. The crab cake Benny which my girlfriend got, was also excellent! The eggs were poached perfectly, the crab cakes were flavorful, and the hollandaise sauce was rich and claims it’s the best she’s ever had. Totally recommend checking out this place for your breakfast and brunch needs! We’re planning on going back tomorrow morning!”

“Upgraded hotel voucher for $1.50 and ordered the Bananas Foster pancakes. Layers of bananas topped with pecans and a caramel sauce. No need for syrup. Added real whipped butter, not margarine. It was delicious! Highly, Highly, recommend. My husband ordered the steak and eggs and really enjoyed it. It was not a thick cut, but flavorful. Enjoy!”

“Let me tell you, this place is amazing and ALAN is the best server have had this whole weekend! Not only was he friendly but he was pleasant to joke around with and made it a great time! Best service around!”

“Absolutely the most amazing cinnamon rolls. Great customer service! Highly recommend to everybody!”

“Delicious cookies! They have a large assortment of bite size cookies. Our favorite was the peach and the key lime, but they have so much more. You can either buy the prepackaged bags or you can create your own. The prices are pretty reasonable and the best part is that the staff would let you sample some cookies. This place is nicely decorated with the store’s story and cookies packaging. It’s located at The Island in Pigeon Forge amount a lot of different stores, amusement rides, the Wheel, dancing fountain with lots of free parking.

Parking: Free open parking adjacent to the main area.”

“So this just reminds me of the barbecue place that we have back at home. Of course we were on vacation and there’s so many places that were packed full and we were so hungry. We just decided to come here. They are coleslaw absolutely delicious. They pulled pork sandwiches absolutely delicious. My husband got thethree pork dinner and he had some leftover and when we heated up in the middle of the night it had our cabin smelling like a barbecue and it was so good. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you want. Good service great food and can’t forget about the sweet tea.”

“Great spot!! Excellent environment!!”

Food was ready as soon as I got there even a little ahead of schedule, gave me a courtesy call earlier in the day to make sure I wanted it at the time I asked and not any sooner since I placed a dinner order in the early afternoon. Very please, will be back! Nice to have places like this for locals! ❤️”
