Waitress was absolutely fantastic. The food was amazing. The price per person was not fair. The atmosphere was great. Family of 7 eat here and there was not a single complaint. Can say enough about how friendly and helpful the Waitress was, she made suggestions on things she liked and we were not disappointed.

Location was clean and attractive with a good atmosphere. Our server Kara G was amazing! So friendly, helpful and very attentive. She took excellent care of our party of 8. We had potato skins, the Hawaiian luau burger and the chicken Ceasar wrap. All of the food ordered was hot and delicious and prepared as requested. I highly recommend eating here and don't forget the peanut butter pie!!!
Nikki @ — Google review
It was a fairly busy place, but it only took a few minutes to get seated. It’s more of a sports bar atmosphere with TVs everywhere, so it would be a great place to watch a game. I ordered the dozen wings with two flavors I chose, honey barbecue, and the orange glazed. They were mixed with half mini drumsticks and half wings. The flavor was average, but still good. My wife ordered The Brotherly Love sandwich and she said it was delicious. The Sweet Potato Fries and the Blue’s Tater Chips were pretty good too. We’ll probably come back again but the next time I’m gonna try one of the burgers.

Very nice sports bar! My family & I were seated right away considering they were busy! They have a variety of food & drinks. Something for everyone. They even have kids meals. Clean restaurant. Courteous staff. Our server was Crystal with the bright pink hair! She was great! I especially loved that she was patient with us while we looked over the menu (family of 4). She checked on us often, refilled our drinks & was overall very pleasant. We would recommend!

Good for a quick bite, food was hot, waiter was attentive and friendly. We were able to get in and get out relatively quickly. Only wait was finding a clean booth. The first 2 they took us to were covered in crumbs in the booths, the 3rd was still dirty but best of the 3 options so we dealt with it.

Great experience! Our server, Matt, was very friendly and even put our local football game on the TV at our table (Notre Dame🍀) The burger was cooked perfectly and we all enjoyed our meals. Quick service, highly recommend!

We eat here all the time and we're never disappointed. Best wings and burgers in the state! Everything else is very good too! Service is always top notch. Our server tonight was Austen B, be sure to ask for him! Austen made sure we had everything we needed and was very friendly A+ Between the outstanding service and excellent food, why would you go anywhere else. We highly, highly recommend Blue Moose!

We got seated quickly, and were greeted by friendly staff. We got our drinks and food ordered quickly. The Cajun fries were absolutely phenomenal. I got the Mac n Cheese burger…it was AMAZING! I would recommend this place to anyone. It is a bit more expensive.

New American restaurant

Lunch was fantastic. We were seated quickly. The server Crystal did a great job and was so friendly. She recommended a couple of burgers that were great. You can't eat these burgers with two hands though. They have to be cut due to how tall the burger is. Wow! Great lunch.
Chris A — Google review
We came here for lunch while visiting a local event. The place is cute and we got seated somewhat quick for how packed it was. Our server was very friendly and gave great recommendations on the most popular meals. Our orders came fast and food was definitely delicious and had that home-cooked taste. We'll definitely be back next time we come visit!

This restaurant is well worth the wait! We had BBQ chicken nachos for an appetizer and OMG were they good!!!! We also had the TN glazed burger with bacon and onion rings and it was one of the best burgers I've ever had. The teriyaki marinated steak kabobs with rice were very good also. The creme Brulee was sooo good. This place is the GOAT! Lol

This was the best meal we ate while in town on vacation hands down. Our server (Kelsey or Casey maybe?) was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We enjoyed everything we ordered and the lemonade was SO refreshing! The food was hot and we left very full. There was plenty of seating and we got in and out for lunch before the crowds. Definitely go here if you want a fantastic meal! (oh and everything is made in house the day of). I recommend the crab cake sandwich because it was delicious, seasoned & cooked perfectly and filling. Though my daughter's hot honey chicken sandwich looked amazing too, the breading was so crispy and the chicken was hanging out of the bun it was so big. Great place that we will visit again next time we visit.
Cameron — Google review
Listen… okay… the only thing I got a picture of were the Deep Fried Deviled Eggs. Everything else got absolutely inhaled before a proper “phone eats first” action happened. The restaurant is busy. No doubt. We waited about 35 minutes for a table but it was so worth the wait. The first time we went, Kelsey took care of us. Legit probably one of the best waitresses out there. She is hilarious, very knowledgeable about the menu, and attentive. We went back the next night (no shame) with our whole family and still had outstanding service and food with another server. The food is incredible. Everything (and I mean everything) is made from scratch. Highly recommend the bison burger and shrimp and grits. We will definitely be back the next time we’re in Pigeon Forge.
Brandon R — Google review
We had been wanting to try Local Goat for a long time but always went to our other favorites instead when we were on vacation. We are so glad we finally went. This place was so delicious! I got the BGT burger and my husband got the Bison meatloaf. We ordered an appetizer of the stuffed peppers with goat cheese and also a side salad with their house made honey-lime vinegarette dressing. All the food tasted amazing! The burger was massive, the fries were seasoned perfectly. It did take probably an hour to get our food due to some sort of error, but the manager was kind enough to take the appetizer off our bill. We will definitely be going back ok our next trip!
Amanda D — Google review
This place was above and beyond our expectations, they stay pretty busy so we did have to wait (we went on a Friday night) but it was well worth the wait. Excellent atmosphere, friendly staff and wonderful amazing food. (The best we’ve had). Our waitress was Kelsey and she was absolutely amazing. She was very proud and passionate about everything being made from scratch in the kitchen and being locally sourced. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and very kind and helpful. She was also very attentive. She was the GOAT (Greatest of all time, pun intended) she made this an even better experience than it already was. I definitely can’t wait to come back. 10/10! Definitely eat here if your the area.

Barbecue restaurant
Bennett's Pit Bar-B-Que is a beloved BBQ spot with two locations in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Since 1991, this locally owned joint has been serving up authentic hickory-smoked barbecue, earning a reputation for the best ribs and barbecue in the county. In addition to their renowned BBQ dinners, Bennett's also offers a mouthwatering breakfast buffet featuring over 50 items, including their signature smoked pork.
Bennett’s is the best beef brisket we have ever had. My husband said the ribs were just as good as his brisket too. Delicious baked beans and country prepared green beans too. Only thing we were missing was cornbread. They do serve a garlic biscuit.
Cheryl Z — Google review
Big time BBQ guy here! Fried deviled eggs appetizer was amazing. We both ordered the Sampler that had 5 meats (brisket, pulled pork, jalapeño smoked sausage, chicken quarter, and ribs). This came with a biscuit and 2 sides; I ordered mac n cheese for both sides. Biscuits were FANTASTIC. She got collard greens and loved them! Mac n cheese was average to above average. Now for the less than fantastic. While the taste of the meats were good, seasoned well and smoky, they were dry. Ribs were dry, smoked sausage was cold, dry and tough, brisket was tender but dry, chicken was tasty but again, dry. Last but not least, pulled pork is usually the most forgiving meat in terms of drying out, but the portions we received were not ideal in terms of moistness. We went around 4:00-4:30 and I’m fairly confident that we were served meat from yesterday that wasn’t sold yesterday by the time they closed. Assuming these were yesterday’s leftovers. Good portions for $30/plate, I just wish we could have gotten same-day fresh smoked meats.

During our family weekend getaway to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, we decided to give Bennett’s BBQ a try — and it didn’t disappoint! There were eight of us in total, and despite how busy the restaurant was, we were seated within a reasonable time. The food was fresh, flavorful, and filling — exactly what you want from a BBQ spot. From the tender meats to the hearty sides, everything tasted homemade and satisfying. They also offered a soup and salad bar, which was a nice bonus, especially for a larger group like ours. Our waitress, Erin, seemed a bit on edge at first, but she was absolutely on top of things when it came to service. Drinks stayed full, food came out quickly, and she made sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was warm and family-oriented, perfect for groups. There was also plenty of parking, which made getting in and out easy, even on a busy day. The only downside was the wait time — they were clearly packed, so things moved a little slower than we would have liked. Still, once we were seated, everything went smoothly. Overall, Bennett’s BBQ delivered delicious food and solid service in a welcoming setting. A great stop if you’re craving good Southern BBQ with the family!

Our food was amazing! Everything was cooked perfect and very tender and the deep fried deviled eggs were delicious. Be sure to ask for Robyn G. she was our waitress. Robyn was so sweet, very knowledgeable and funny. We all wish every server was just like her. She's a keeper! She made our experience very memorable. Thank you Robyn, we'll definitely be back!

We showed up a bit late for a Sunday evening & the place was closing in an hour, and they receptionist told us about a 1hr wait. I think we maybe waited only 15mins tops, & they called my name. We got sat at some makeshift addition to the restaurant that was probably added during Covid era. Was mostly an empty area & more so used as an overflow room. Our waitress was great & even though she was very busy she met our every need. Brisket was tender & good flavor. The burnt ends were some of the best I’ve had! Really good Mac & cheese & we tried the deep fried corn on the cob that was okay but nothing special what we were expecting by its description. The ribs were very flavorful & pretty good.
Jason K — Google review
My wife and I where visiting from Seattle and where craving some serious bbq. Walked in on a late Thursday night and had a 15-20 min wait (very good sign). Absolutely had a wonderful time here and worth the wait. Gary our server was the most welcoming and made us feel like old friends, while another server, Kara, was an absolute delight to chat with. The food was delicious but could have been slightly warmer. Need to go back to try all the other sauces as the house sauce was too tempting and needed to be used on everything.
Brendan H — Google review
Nice restaurant, nice staff, but the food wasn't so nice. If you're just looking for some BBQ, this place will do but if you're looking for good BBQ, this isn't the place. I ordered the brisket and baby back ribs and both were dry and overcooked. They have 3 types of BBQ sauce also...your regular BBQ sauce, a mustard base sauce, and an extremely sweet sauce. I really love spicy food so I wish they had some type of spicy BBQ sauce. Next time I will try one of the other BBQ spots n hopefully I'll find that good Tennessee BBQ that everyone talks about.

The food was phenomenal. Smokey, juicy, and flavorful. The Texas sampler gave us a good taste of everything. That jalapeno sausage was perfection. Definitely recommend if you are in the area. Make sure you note the hours on their website. We ordered pick up and a glitch allowed it even though they were closing. They were very gracious and we were able to still pick up and enjoy.

The brewery offers a variety of entertainment options, including multiple HDTVs and live music stage. Guests can enjoy a menu featuring pizza, burgers, sandwiches, appetizers, and wings along with a selection of bourbon, whiskey, wine, and champagne.
We have never had anything here that wasn't good. We got the Ole Smoky burger and the Kick-Back burger they were so good. We also got The Thunder Road Shrimp with fries oh my how good they both were. I loved the honey mustard potato salad. Will be back soon.

Smoky’s Brewery was very good! We went on a Friday evening and it was clear this is a popular weekend spot, so I’d definitely recommend making a reservation if you plan to go. The atmosphere was lively, with great live music adding to the fun. The service was a little slow, but that’s to be expected on a busy weekend, and it didn’t take away from the experience. Overall, good food, good drinks, and a great vibe — worth checking out if you’re in Pigeon Forge!

The pizza was great and they have a nice selection of beer on tap, but the customer service at the bar really brought the experience down. The bartender was extremely unfriendly, which made it hard to enjoy the visit. I’ll probably check out a few other places before coming back here.

Went here twice. The woman waitress we had on Thursday night was on top of her game but the band was loud so you couldn’t really talk. It was more quiet on Friday, However, our waiter Wes forgot to put my order in so I didn’t get my pizza until after everyone I was with was completely done eating. And we still got charged for it. I didn’t even want it by then because I had no time to eat it. Bad service in my opinion.
Madison G — Google review
Sorry the camera did not eat first!! That's because the food here is that good!! We stumbled across this gem while visiting a card and memorabilia store in the same little mini mall area. So good we came back a few days later to enjoy it again but for supper this time. The staff was great both times, with checking in on us plenty of times. Drinks were never below half when they would ask if we wanted more. The atmosphere was great even though my husband and I neither drink. It can get a little loud at times but not terrible. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good burger, Philly or pizza, all which we all had. Till next time, stay fanatic!!
K — Google review
Ngl, very mid. I’ve learned around here some places you just shouldn’t get food to go, you need to go inside and dine in to get the best service. I work in the service industry and know it can be challenging to get things perfect especially in very busy environments, however it is disheartening being on the other end paying nearly $70 and many things being dissatisfactory and taking it to go so no way to fix the issue because once you realize it, you’re already home. After a 35 minute wait the fries were stale, ended up not getting any jalapeño sauce put on my burger, if i wanted a plain burger I would’ve gone with the cheaper option 🥲 They forgot to give us our potato salad, the nachos were soggy already and we only live 10 minutes away. Definitely done getting to go orders from restaurants around here including this one. We have dined in here once and it was great, but sadly experiences like this make you hesitant to want to go back.

Located in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park area, Bullfish Grill offers a unique dining experience with its lodgelike ambiance featuring stone floors and a large fireplace. The restaurant is a popular choice for families looking to have fun, as it is surrounded by various attractions such as mini golf, laser tag, the Smoky Mountain Opry, Gatlinburg Space Needle, and Flyaway Indoor Skydiving.
We stopped at this place for an early dinner over Independence Day weekend. We have driven past many times before and finally decided to try it with some of the parents. We made a reservation, but got here a little early. We were immediately seated. It wasn’t too busy at the time. The dining area was nice and clean. The restrooms were also very clean. Our waitress, Amanda, was awesome! She was very helpful and knowledgeable. She even laughed at some of our corny jokes. All the waiters and waitresses seemed to work well together. If one walked past a table with an empty dish on it, they would remove it whether it was their table or not. Our food came out piping hot and quickly. We had the salmon and seafood platter. Everything was delicious! We can’t believe we have been missing out on this food and service for so long. We will definitely be back next time we are in town.

Was looking for a seafood restaurant in the area and came across this place. We tried the spicy shrimp appetizer, fish & chips, and fish sandwich. Everything was fresh and made to order. All three items we had were good. Best thing was there was not a lot of batter on our shrimp and fish. Our server was great very nice gentleman. Overall had a good experience at this restaurant definitely worth a try.

Came for the first time here on a Sunday afternoon on our way out of town. Atmosphere was nice and inviting especially for a nice family dinner. Food was fantastic and came quickly. We had fried pickles for our appetizers. Which were nice. Perfect amount for 2 people to share. My husband had the chicken strip basket and I had the Philly cheesesteak sandwich for our lunch, both were delicious. We will be back to Bullfish on our next time in town!

First time here. The server was very good. Don't remember his name. He was from Russia so management should know who he is to commend him. The food was really good if you don't mind spicy. Literally everything had a kick & that's just not for me. Hubby & son loved it. My whitefish & creamed spinach would've been soooo good if not for that. They loved their meatloaf. Due to the spice & for the price & what you got, we probably won't be back. Only 1 side comes with the meal! The desserts were good, they had no kick! The other thing that was very negative to me was that the music was so loud that you couldn't even hear the people at our table to talk to them. That's why I only gave a 2 on atmosphere. & the spice & loud music is why I could only give a 3 over all rating. But if you like spicy food & loud music, then this place is for you!

Walked in and no wait. Don't skip over Bull fish it's a great place. Music is good too. Our waitress was excellent. She checked on us enough to make sure we didn't need anything.

What a Great place to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary dinner! Our server David was lots of fun; he took our anniversary pic for us and checked in several times to make sure all was going well. Our food was so good too. The crab cakes, steak, mashed potatoes, rice & key lime pie were all exceptional! Even the bread before our meal was tasty! There is a nice ambience here and just a top-notch experience!

First of all the waiter Bobby was amazing. He gave us great recommendations. I had the chicken pasta which was really good and Bobby recommended the Pistachio encrusted trout to my boyfriend which was amazing. The bread they bring out while you are waiting is warm and soft with a perfect crust. All in all our new favorite place in Pigeon Forge to eat! We highly recommend ❤️

I ordered their Strawberry Chicken Salad. It was very good and had caramelized pecans, blue cheese crumbs and a honey vinegarette. My companion ordered the meatloaf lunch special. It came with mashed potatoes and crispy onions on top. He said it was good as well. The dining room was nice, but he music was quite loud.

Calhoun's in Pigeon Forge is a popular Tennessee BBQ chain offering a diverse menu that includes fresh-ground burgers, sandwiches, homestyle sides, and craft beers. It's conveniently located near the Smoky Mountain Brewery and offers a great bar area with TVs and the same craft beer brewed at the brewery. The restaurant also caters to dog owners with its comfortable patio.
Excellent! Our food was excellent as was our service. Lauren was our waitress and she provided us a textbook example of what high level service is all about. I could not have been more pleased. The bread that was served before the meal was a variety of types and flavors and I would have been hard pressed to pick one over the other. I could have easily made a meal of one of the different breads. The BBQ I had was delicious and the salad my wife had was just as good but also ridiculously large. I would have been more than willing to eat here again the next day but on vacation we try to eat somewhere different for every meal.

The 4 of us came in on a weekday for dinner. The place wasn’t busy at all, plenty of parking available out front. They give a complimentary basket of bread to start- containing biscuits, cornbread, garlic seasoned rolls. Our waiter was so nice and gave recommendations as we ordered. He was very attentive. Our food came out quickly and it was delicious- pictures included! The only slight complaint was that the one plate of brisket was on the dry side. Side note; I got sweet potato fries that come with a cinnamon glaze that is absolutely fantastic! Definitely recommend this place!! They also sell boxes of their biscuit mix and seasoning.

Great place to eat! The atmosphere had a great vibe. Was a little nicer than we anticipated. 😀 Wait staff was extremely helpful and was continuously coming by the table to see if we needed anything. The food was delicious! They start you out with a basket of various bread choices like corn muffins, biscuits, and different rolls. Very fresh. I had the Oriental Salad and boy was it a lot of food. It had lettuce, tomatoes, scallions, grilled teriyaki chicken with pineapple rings, and rice! Comes with honey mustard dressing. The flavors blended into a very yummy dish. My husband got the pork chops, my daughter got the chicken tenders, and my son got the brisket plate. Everyone was pleased and satisfied with their meals. Both kids got the Mac ‘n cheese as a side and loved it. Definitely will be back in the near future.

We had been at Dollywood and decided to get a later dinner at Calhoun's! We made reservations through the Google maps app, and were immediately seated when we arrived! We got the potato skins for an appetizer! And the double wings with their house sweet and spicy toss and a half rack of ribs! Both were delicious! Especially the wings and ribs! Those were probably some of the best wings l'd ever had! And the ribs were amazing too! We were so full from dinner that we didn't get dessert but it looked like they had a lot of good options too! I would definitely go back! One of the other people in our party got the lemon pepper chicken and sweet and spicy traditional wings! They said they were delicious also!

Meat should not be abused this way! Ribs were extremely dry and the pork had no flavor and seemed they had been setting in a very humid atmosphere since the day before. Manager stated this is the way they prepare them. What a crime! Also the slaw was good but I only had three forks worth in the small container. Manager said this is all they give you, just a taste. WHAT! I've always received a good portion of slaw with ribs and pork. This has always been a staple in southern barbeque. This place is just pitiful, just pitiful and to beat it all he brought us a fresh order of ribs and pork on a platter (it was all the same) did I say pitiful! Good luck if you go there!

I got pretzels that I took one bite of and didn't like. I asked the waitress to take it off she was argumentative about it. It's not like I was trying to scam anything. The pretzels are frozen inside. Obviously microwaved. I had to ask for the manager and and it made me feel like I was begging. For that I won't come back ever again. I don't want nothing for free. But I don't want to be scammed either. The main entree was fine. However I didn't have any water to rinse it down with... Normally I tip 20% even when things aren't great but the fact that I was put down I only left $2. I really didn't want to leave anything.

My family and I went to this location on October 19, 2025. Mid-afternoon. We were immediately sat at a table. The waitress was fantastic. Prompt and attentive. She brought our appetizer out rather quickly and kept our drinks full exceptionally well. The food was pretty good, and it was made to order. And the portion sizes were either spot on, or a little too much (definitely better than too little). The place was semi-busy but noise was a bare minimum. The bill for a family of four(4) was about $110 including the appetizer (waitress was tipped separately). Overall, it was a great choice for the quality of food, the great service, and the atmosphere. I'm sure we will visit this establishment again.

Downtown Flavortown, brought to Pigeon Forge by renowned chef and TV host Guy Fieri, is a family-friendly restaurant offering award-winning food along with arcade games and duckpin bowling. The laid-back menu features a variety of dishes such as cheeseburger nachos, wood stone pizza, ribs, Cajun chicken pasta, and giant sandwiches like crispy chicken bacon ranch and pulled pork.
Being gluten free is challenging. So having people make sure you understand is great, my only thing would be I WISH the menu showed it. I didn’t come here last time I was in town because I was skeptical, but they have someone come to your table and help you understand the options. Overall great food, great atmosphere and super fun arcade! Would recommend it. My two critics would be the fries and nachos were a bit overcooked and hard, not terrible but not great. On the other hand my GF Mac and cheese with steak and my husband’s Mac and cheese burger were awesome! Check it out!

Came here to check out the place and we were not disappointed. Matt was a great host and server! We ordered several items and a couple of appetizers. All were really good. The place has a full bar if you want to have an alcoholic drink along with your food; highly recommend the pineapple habenero margarita! My friend had that, I tried it and it was really good (I didn't order because of the calories lol). Talking about calories, don't go expecting to stay on your diet! This is a place to indulge. They also have a large video arcade along with a mini (duck or needle or something) bowling alley which was a lot of fun.

What a fun experience. It was clean, staff were inviting and our server, Monica, was great. She took the time to help us make a decision on our meal, made sure we were satisfied, and even gave us other recommendations on where to go since we are new in town (visiting for a couple of days). She was super personable & it was a pleasure having her as our server. Made the experience that much more enjoyable. If you're a burger person the Big Mac N'Cheese burger was delicious with its endless toppings!

Downtown Flavortown is more than just a restaurant—it’s a whole experience. We had a great time with our server Sara K! Whether you’re a die-hard Guy Fieri fan or just someone looking for a unique night out in Pigeon Forge, this spot hits all the right notes. Come hungry, bring your sense of adventure, and get ready to roll out of there with a full belly and a big smile. This place isn’t just about food—it’s an experience. The arcade is massive! Plus, there’s bowling—but not your typical lanes. These ones are decked out in bright colors and a full-on party vibe. It was a huge unexpected surprise and I even won a cute little duck! Just go!

My family loved Downtown Flavortown! The food was delicious and the games were a hit. The kids all had the macaroni kids' meals and loved them. Each meal comes with a $10 arcade card, which makes it a pretty good deal. My wife and I split the nachos, and they were more than enough for the two of us. We definitely enjoyed them. The arcade has a great variety of games, including a couple of pinball machines, which I always look out for. You can also earn tickets and exchange them for prizes.

Junction 35 Kitchen & Bar is a new addition to Pigeon Forge, located at the Tower Shops in the Mountain Mile. This multifaceted establishment serves as a distillery, kitchen, bar, and gift shop all under one roof. The industrial space offers a unique setting for enjoying BBQ dishes, burgers, and cocktails. The in-house crafted spirits are available for purchase at the gift shop. Visitors praise the friendly service from servers like Heather, Missy, and Tami.
The place is exquisite in every sense - the atmosphere is perfect and every dish we tried made us fall in love completely. We went several times during our stay and each visit was better than the previous one. We became absolutely enamored with Julio's service and the entire experience. We are already planning our return because we know that with Julio serving us, it will always be an unforgettable experience. Thank you Julio, you are truly the best of all. Junction 35 Spirits is not just a restaurant, it's a must-visit destination in Pigeon Forge thanks to people like him.

I visited on a Thursday evening with a party of 15. We were seated immediately. Our server was awesome! She was patient, had a welcoming attitude, and was very helpful with suggestions. The food we ordered ranged from smash burgers to BBQ to shrimp and chicken. Everything was good. The ribs were very seasoned and tender. The pulled pork nachos were piled high with meat too. And don't skip the cocktails! They have a distillery connected to the restaurant and you get a ticket for a free tasting once you pay your bill! Good vibe with a friendly atmosphere.

Junction 35 Spirits & Kitchen delivered one of my standout dining experiences in the Smokies, a rare combo of craft distillery and full service kitchen where the food is every bit as dialed in as the drinks. The burgers are truly a star here, juicy, perfectly seasoned, stacked high with fresh toppings, and bursting with flavor in every bite. Pair that with their fried pickles, which are golden, crispy, and addictive enough to be a meal on their own, and you have comfort food at its finest. Plates across the menu arrive well seasoned and thoughtfully portioned, from those crave worthy staples to other Southern favorites like shrimp and grits or smoked wings that hit that perfect crunch, all backed by a bar program built on their own house made spirits including bourbon, rye, whiskey, moonshine, vodka, gin, tequila, and rum shaken into creative cocktails that actually taste of the base, not just the mixers. The location seals it, set at the Mountain Mile on Teaster Lane, you are steps from shops, attractions, and other eateries to wander before or after your meal, which turns a dinner plan into a whole outing. For my followers, this is an easy MUST try, flavorful, well executed plates, balanced portions, and a destination setting that makes just dinner feel like an experience. P.S. their queso and their fries are absolutely amazing, comfort food done exactly right.

Loved our dinner at Junction 35. The atmosphere, food, and service were all fantastic! Three of us had the Smokehouse Mac and all loved it. One had the Tennessee Brisket Dip and also thought it was amazing. I had the Grilled Shrimp Skewers which were delicious. Sweet tea was good southern sweet tea too. They also have a great little outdoor area here with games set up. We didn’t have any alcohol this trip, but they have a large selection - you’re sure to find something you like.

In town for the 5th time (annual dance competition), and we noticed a new spot had popped up—Junction 35—so we figured we’d give it a try since we’ve pretty much exhausted most other restaurants over the years. It’s located in a family-friendly, trendy area with fun extras like a sky coaster, cornhole, giant Connect Four, a park set, and more—great vibe for kids and adults alike. We went on a Friday around 6 p.m., and I was fully expecting a 1-hour wait. To our surprise, it was only 20 minutes—score! Inside, it has a cool warehouse-style look with a massive bar anchoring the space. The menu had a solid variety for all tastes. Our group ordered the Junction Smash Burger, Bacon Jam Smash Burger, the salmon entrée, and the strawberry salad. While no one was completely blown away by their meal, we all agreed everything was good—and we’d order the same things again. That’s usually a solid sign of quality. The burgers had great flavor and came on a soft, fresh bun. The fries were a bit of a letdown—likely just sitting out a little too long. I’d give Junction 35 a 3-star rating. Not the best bar food you’ll ever have, but definitely worth a visit. We’d come back without hesitation. If you’re in town for a few days, I’d say add it to your itinerary. I’m confident it won’t disappoint.

Nestled in a complex with country cooking eateries, pottery, candy, and toy shops, The Old Mill Restaurant is a haven for soul-satisfying Southern comfort food. It's renowned as one of the most popular restaurants in the Great Smokies region. Despite potential wait times, visitors are assured that their breakfast will be worth it. The restaurant is known for serving insanely large portions and is recommended for those with hearty appetites.
We had to wait for about 30 min but it’s well worth the wait. Very nice size portions almost everyone took food home in the place. They don’t have liquor or beer license so pregame lol. Reasonable prices great food. A few floors of tables and tons of people working so service is fast. Gotta have the bread ball’s they serve as breads for the table.

The old Mill is one of the restaurants that lived up to all of the hype! It was so delicious we went twice, and you WILL NOT leave hungry! The corn fritters and chowder were AMAZING, the chicken and dumplings were super good, the pot roast was tasty, and the desserts were to die for. Plus service was great and they were easy going, I don't like salad so I was able to get a cup of fruit instead (wasn't exactly listed as a side but they accommodated. Whether your here early or late your going to wait, but it was nice that they quoted an hr and both times we only waited like 40 mins at most.

We went around 1:30 pm for lunch and had no wait! From all the reviews and word of mouth, was told food was amazing. The fried chicken was superb, but the green beans and mash potatoes were lacking flavor. Mashed potatoes reminded me of boxed potatoes. The chicken n dumplings were good. I was under whelmed with the corn fritters, I was hoping for more of a hushpuppy and flavor. It's basically fried dough. They serve it with maple butter. I am not a fan. The fritter tasted better dipped in the vegetable and corn chowder soup. The soups were good. The corn chowder was better than I expected and had a lot of flavor. It was a mix between gravy and soup. The portion size was generous and we left with Togo boxes. The lunch entrée didn't include dessert.

Wow, another great meal. We loved our late lunch yesterday at the Old Mill Cafe, so today we did a late lunch at the restaurant. Fantastic. Valeria did a wonderful job and I can't wait to return to the area to eat here again. I had the open faced turkey sandwich with beef gravy and fries. The restaurant portions are more than the cafe's but cost about a dollar more. Well worth it. No wait for seats, either. Military discount is much appreciated, too.

Fantastic and Beautiful Restaurant , highly recommend. This was our first time as we're traveling on vacation. I've been in the area 5 days and wished I'd found it sooner. We had a great table overlooking the water on the second floor. My husband had prime rib cooked perfectly for humans I had turkey and stuffing meal with fried okra , mashed potatoes, greenbeans, corn chowder soup. For desert we had blackberry cobler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The blackberry cobler was Amazing ,in fact the best I've ever had !! I have to say they have alot of great staff and our waitress Cheslee D was spot on with refills and checking on us, very polite,great at multitasking, she's good for your business. Our meal price included desert, soup and salad and really good portions. 30.99 for 8 oz prime rib, baked potato, green beans ,garden salad and a cup a soup plus desert...Outstanding food 😋 Outstanding service.

My wife and visiting in town decided to try this place, based on good reviews. Well it was actually pretty good. I had the omelette as pictured and the wife had the classic breakfast which is a sample of all the classics. The only thing the small pancakes were served cold. Other than that it was pretty good, in fact the grits were pretty good too, and I do recommend. It's not a place I would go to every day, but I do give it a good review. Prices were pretty reasonable as well. 👍

There was a long wait to dine at this restaurant. We gave our name and waited over 30 minutes for them to call us in the loud speaker. While we waited, we browsed the adjoining gift shop. They have so many fun and unique things for sale. When they finally called our name we went back to the restaurant and we were seated. I ordered liver and onions. My companion ordered fried chicken tenders. Both meals came with seasoned green beans, mashed potatoes, corn chowder. While we wait for our meals, we were brought some sweet fried things. They looked like hush puppies but they were better than that. So good. Our whole meal was delicious and definitely worth the wait.

Great place to get some amazing southern comfort food. A little bit of a wait but they have a general store you can explore while you’re waiting. We had the southern fried chicken legs and pork chops. Fried perfectly and served with their corn fritters, corn chowder, side salads, green beans and mashed potatoes. For dessert we had pecan pie and blackberry cobbler.

In addition to catfish and shrimp entrees, they also offer grilled and fried chicken, chicken livers, country fried steak, and other Southern dishes.
Really great seafood! The shrimp was extremely good and the catfish was really good too. They also give you vittles for the table, which was quite nice. The decorations were neat if you like Mark Twain. The bathrooms was very clean. Our server Juan was awesome, he did a fantastic job. I ate with eight other people and we all enjoyed our food.

While visiting Pigeon Forge Tennessee with my veteran family, my wife and I stopped in for the Catfish at Huck Finn's Catfish. No one told us about Huck Finn's, we were passing by and thought we would try. DELICIOUS! 😋 The Catfish was very tasty with a nice crunch on the outside tender on the inside. The tea was excellent. We also had chicken legs and wings! They were very tasty as well. Our host Allison I believe her name is was awesome! She made sure we were well taken care of! The tea she made was so good!

Update We returned this evening for the catfish dinner. My husband told me he was taking me out for catfish for dinner on my birthday (today). He just didn't tell me he was taking me 438 miles to get it at my favorite location in Pigeon Forge,TN. Our waiter (Mo) is absolutely awesome. The food phenomenal, as usual. We come from Indiana. Can't wait to return. We will definitely return when we are here, every time. What a wonderful place to have lunch on the last day of our honeymoon adventure. The atmosphere was super friendly. Our waitress was perfect: friendly, confident, checked to see if we needed anything in a timely manner, and an all-around great waitress. We stopped in the shop as we were leaving to purchase a few items. Everything about this place was welcoming. And let's not forget the food. It was Delicious.

Came here with a group of 12 and while we did have to wait a bit for a table (understandable) we all really enjoyed this place. The gift shop is nice and reasonable, the decorating is fun and suits the Tennessee vibe, and the waiters and staff all were extremely nice and helpful. The prices were some of the best value for proportions we got during our entire trip! Everyone at your table shares generous portions of “vittles” which is basically your sides. beans, fried pickles, hush puppies, cole slaw, etc. Then each individual orders a separate main dish, with one side for themselves. I got breaded shrimp and fries with sweet tea. It was $22 for all including vittles and I thought that was very reasonable.

Mel’s Diner in Pigeon Forge is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re transported straight back to the golden age of classic diners — shiny chrome accents, cozy booths, jukebox tunes, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The food is everything you want from a true American diner and more. Their burgers are juicy and perfectly cooked, piled high with fresh toppings and served with crispy golden fries that taste like they came straight out of the 1950s. Breakfast here is a must-try too — fluffy pancakes, perfectly cooked eggs, and thick slices of bacon that are pure comfort on a plate. And you can’t leave without trying their milkshakes; they’re rich, creamy, and come in all the nostalgic flavors you dream about. What really sets Mel’s apart is the service. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to make your experience special. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or bringing the whole family for a fun meal, you’ll be treated like a regular. Between the unbeatable prices, the delicious food, the retro atmosphere, and the old-fashioned hospitality, Mel’s Diner is a must-visit spot in Pigeon Forge. It’s more than just a meal — it’s a slice of Americana you’ll want to come back to again and again

After visiting Ripley’s Aquarium in Gatlinburg, we decided to go to Mel’s Diner for dinner. For my meal, I ordered the country fried steak, which comes with two sides and Texas toast. I chose mac and cheese and fried okra for my sides. I thought that the country fried steak was crunchy, peppery, and hearty. The mac was extremely cheesy, the way mac should be. The okra and toast were just like any other. My cousin got the James Works burger, which is topped with chili, bacon, and mushrooms with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle. He got it with no mushrooms and enjoyed it. My cousin’s girlfriend got the biscuit and gravy with two eggs and bacon. She loved it. My dad got the bacon cheeseburger, and he thought it was delicious. My mom got the Cajun burger and enjoyed it. Overall, I would highly recommend going to Mel’s for a delicious meal.

Honestly this place doesn’t get mentioned enough for a must stop place in the area, but it should. I was so excited from the minute we pulled up and it was lit up bright in the night sky. What really sold my fiancée and I on this place was the waitress Dawn, who is OUTSTANDING and makes you feel like you are meeting a new friend even when she has several other tables. If this was a place back home for me, she would help sell it. The second selling point for this place was the milkshakes. Literally the best milkshake of my life. And the atmosphere is absolutely perfect. This is a must stop in the area for sure!

Nicole was a GREAT server!! Even her notepad shows experience!! The service was tip top shape and she kept us Well Beveraged! Haha!! My Husband and I are Locals, and we were on a little “Redneck-Vacation” We decided To choose This Wonderful little Diner because it was open late and the food looked Great, after showing me the reviews, my Husband Told us to get in!! We got there after calling and making sure that they were still open and was immediately greeted with a smile. They got us quickly seated, and Nicole got us our drinks after figuring out what we wanted and looking at the menu we ordered and we’re waiting on our food. We waited about 15 minutes. When the food came out, it looked so clean and homemade! It tasted just as good. Love the atmosphere of this little place. We will be back! The nachos are phenomenal! They are a must have! The Philly cheesesteak is also very good. However, the buns were cut completely through so it was hard to keep the contents in. Everything was cooked how we requested it for our little guy too!! We will be back!! Thanks Nicole for your Great Attitude and 5 STAR SERVICE!! My Recommendations: -the Nachos are banging!!! -the Phillycheese steak is Delicious Pros: -Good parking -Kid Friendly -GREAT MUSIC -Easy Order Classic Menu! -Decent Prices -Lively Environment -Open late Cons: -Don’t go in in a swimsuit, you’ll get dirty looks from some of the girls that work there lol.

Great service, waiter was really attentive, and the pizza was great. We got 3 pizzas and it was enough for 8 adults and a kid. The pizza had a really good crust, the condiments were balanced, it was not greasy like other pizza places. Restrooms were ok, Only thing is that the soda/drink had a weird after taste but it must be something with their carbonated water, but it’s drinkable.

Went for dinner at 545pm. No wait and place was not crowded at all. It was quiet enough to have a conversation. We ordered the Big Kahuna and Carnivore pizzas. Both were great. I like the thinner crusts that are wood fired. They just seem to taste better. I like that they don’t go overboard with the sauce as well. Staff is super friendly and checked on us often.

Great food, great atmosphere, great service! Host that sat us was very nice, our waiter James was also friendly and did an A+ top notch job with taking our order, bringing our food out promptly, answering any questions we had and keeping drinks filled. Tried a multitude of pizzas as well as the wood fired wings. All delicious!! Porky Pie was delicious as well as the Bee Sting, but my favorite was the Mamma-Mia (their version of a classic supreme). I’m a self proclaimed woodfired pizza connoisseur and expert and I would definitely say Big Daddy’s ranks right up there with some of the best! Will definitely be back and recommend it to you if you’re reading this and trying to make a decision. Thanks for the great service James!

Local hot spot with several locations. We ordered some pizzas and garlic dough balls to go so we could enjoy the view back at our Airbnb. The food was very good, and the leftovers actually reheated better than expected. The pizzas were loaded with toppings, and honestly, if you're complaining about the price, you might be better off sticking with the national chains.

First time eating here. The host who seated us was very friendly. We ordered a small pizza with 2 salads, expecting out salads before the pizza to eat. Table was a little dirty. Our waitress was not very attentive. She was also the one I noticed cleaning the tables. After a good long while we asked about our salads. She said oh he's still making them. Wouldn't you know they came right out then when she went to look, and our pizza arrived about a min later. Was'nt very attentive to drink refills. My Ceasar salad was delicious. Maybe the best I've ever had. The pizza was really good as well. We opted for a white sauce and glad we did. Husbands salad was also good. The picture of the salt shakers and cheese is how our table appeared when we were seated. Waitress seem kinda of lazy mopeing around. We did how ever speak to another waitress who was super friendly when we were leaving.

Worst Pizza I have ever eaten. Topping should go to the edge of the cheese. Two inches from the edge ripping off guest. For this restaurant to be wood fire absolutely no crispness to the crust soft and chewy. The crumble topping is garbage. $50 for pizza and wings very disappointing. I never leave bad reviews but this the worst pizza ever.

We were greeted with smiles and a pleasant demeanor which was nice. Katie was our server and she was very sweet and knowledgeable about the menu items. I explained that I have several life-threatening allergies she told me the standard is to get a manager. Holly came to our table with a menu tailored to allergies. She was very pleasant as well and she went out of her way to communicate with the kitchen staff to ensure I would have something I could enjoy. We ordered the honey wings and a specialty pizza (ground beef, red onion and spinach). Everything was cooked to perfection and we really enjoyed our food. I was very pleased with how helpful the ladies were. This was a great visit and the music was awesome too!

Steak house
Alamo Steakhouse, located in Pigeon Forge, is a renowned dining spot known for its expertise in preparing hand-cut beef over an open oak fire. From succulent filet mignon to flavorful New York strip steaks, the restaurant offers a delightful array of options. In addition to their signature steaks, Alamo Steakhouse also boasts a diverse menu featuring oak-fired pork chops and an extensive selection of seafood, chicken specialties, sandwiches, salads, and soups.
Plan ahead they have very long wait times the food and the service was outstanding. We had a larger party so we did have to wait a little bit longer. They quoted us an hour and a half, but the table was ready and 50 minutes. We started off with the crab dip and mozzarella sticks as appetizers, and they were finished very quickly. Everybody enjoyed them. To make my review a little more simple we had the kids state with mashed potatoes for the kids, and the adults had a variation of the different steaks. I’ll cooked medium well along with mashed potatoes or baked potato. The meat selection was great. They had very tender and juicy meats that were easy to cut and not super chewy with great grilled seasoning. Felix was our waiter. He was on top of it, making sure that everybody had their drinks full that we had what we ordered in our order was correct and he waited on all of us all by himself. He was super kind and understanding This is decorated what I would describe as some light water decor. There were wood benches outside and a few other things on the wall, but it had a very clean organized look it wasn’t overly cluttered. The restaurant was very clean. I would like to shout out the bathroom, hands scrub as all the ladies in our party enjoyed the hands scrub in the bathrooms.

Fast service good food. Our waiter was Scott F. He went out off his way to give me & my wife the best experience possible. He was super attentive & the way he interacted with the patrons was awesome. I had the T Bone with Brussels Sprouts & an add on of Scallops. The wife had the New Strip with Mashed potatoes. We shared the Cheese Sticks & both had French Onion Soup. Looking forward to our next visit.

Our family of 4 dined here on a Friday night and this was our experience. Atmosphere: Great theming throughout. Loved the Texan feel. The a/c however was not working properly. It was really stuffy for our entire meal. There was an oscillating fan on the floor near our booth, but it did little to help. In the middle of summer, getting this restaurant’s a/c fixed should have been a priority. We did not return to eat here for this reason alone on this trip - and would not return again in the future unless this issue is fixed. Food: The food was overall amazing! We had the hot crab dip appetizer with homemade pita chips and it was incredible. The French onion soup was delicious, but the crab soup was really too overpowered on the seafood taste. The porterhouse and ribeye were both cooked perfectly and had great flavor, the San Antonio and Santa Fe chicken dishes were also flavorful and we enjoyed them. Service: We were seated within 15 minutes and Justin was a great server.

My husband and I ordered food to go. It was done when they said it would be but not to my liking. My husband ordered the Filet Mignon, his was cooked to perfection and he said it was very good. My food on the other hand, not so great! I ordered the T-Bone steak dinner cooked to medium. My steak was done, done! No pink at all and as dry as a leaf in the fall! It was very disappointing. This is supposed to be one of the best steak houses in the area…… my opinion it is not!

American restaurant
Restaurant
The Hard Rock Cafe is a rock 'n' roll-themed chain known for its high-energy vibe and serving American classics like burgers. The Pigeon Forge location offers a dog-friendly outdoor patio where servers may bring out water for your furry friend. It's famous for an impressive collection of music memorabilia, including items worn by Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, Priscilla Presley, and Dolly Parton.
Hard Rock Cafe delivers more than just a great meal, it offers a full-on experience. From the moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by music history, vibrant décor, and an atmosphere that blends energy with comfort. The food is consistently impressive, with generous portions and bold flavors that make every dish memorable. Their drinks are just as strong, both in flavor and value, and perfectly complement the overall vibe. The customer service truly stands out; the staff treat you like family, speaking with genuine respect and kindness to everyone at the table. Whether you’re dining with friends or bringing your entire family, they make you feel welcomed and valued from start to finish. What makes Hard Rock even more appealing for me is their connection to car culture. As a car enthusiast, the occasional car shows they host are a major draw and add another layer to the overall experience. It’s not just a restaurant, it’s a place where music, cars, great food, and community come together. That kind of energy is hard to find and even harder to forget. Whether I’m there to grab a bite or just soak in the atmosphere, Hard Rock Cafe always delivers an experience that reflects both my interests and my appetite. I’ll definitely be returning.

Enjoyed the artifacts, food was good, we had lunch and decaf coffee, plenty of parking. They have a small and pricey gift shop. I enjoyed seeing quite a few county star exhibits. A dress of Dolly Pardon , a guitar of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Shania Twain...ect. Service was OK, not fantastic needed to ask for refils as coffee cups are small. However waitress was pleasant, food was hot and correct as I have allergies to many causes used.

Hard Rock Cafe – Pigeon Forge, TN What an unexpectedly great time! We stopped in for a casual visit and walked into a full-on experience. From the moment we sat at the bar, the energy was high, the service was fantastic, and the music? Legendary. The Legendary Kincaid Band played a two-hour set that brought serious rock energy to the night. Live music in a venue designed for it — perfect. The bartenders were friendly, efficient, and even treated us to a complimentary daiquiri sample, just because. Drinks and food for two hours came in under $70 — solid value for a night out in a tourist town. Bonus? The custom Orange County Chopper (OCC) on display — a head-turning masterpiece straight from the iconic American Chopper show. If you’re into bikes or nostalgia, this alone is worth the visit. In short: cold drinks, hot tunes, and a welcoming atmosphere. Hard Rock nailed it. Rock on, Pigeon Forge. 🤘

Our visit to Hard Rock Cafe was beyond amazing. The service was was awesome. We made a reservation before going and the whole staff wrote us a thank you card with all their signatures. Our watress Kaytlyne was very attentive and checked up on us frequently. We had other staff check up on us too. The food was amazing. I got the surf and turf burger. I’m a sucker for shrimp and slaw. The burger was very well made too. I got a peanut butter cocktail which was nice too. I really liked the aesthetic of the place and all the memorabilia. I highly recommend checking this place out on your next trip in the pigeon forge area. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the area again!

Walked in the restaurant had very few customers was told it would be a 15 minute wait. Walked over to the store and immediately got a text. We were seated at 515. We waited 15 minutes for the waitress to come to the table. We ordered drinks and food and we still sit here at 603 no food the waitress has not been back we have three empty drinks on the table and it is still dead in here. Absolutely awful. Oh and when you walk in a nice guy takes photos he then comes to your table and attempts to sell you a photo for a good deal $75 for 4 photos. We said no thanks not interested and he continued to stand trying to sell photos after we said no 5 times. Horrible experience. Will never return to a Hard Rock.

Pizza restaurant
Brazilian restaurant
PizzaRio offers a unique dining experience with Brazilian-style pizza served with endless slices brought to your table. The restaurant is known for its variety of toppings and lively ambiance. Customers recommend trying the chocolate pizza and pepperoni pizza. The staff provides exceptional service, making diners feel welcome and at ease while explaining the dining process and promptly bringing drinks and appetizers. The wood fire sourdough crust pizzas are unlike any other, offering heavenly flavors that customers enjoy trying out.
A truly unique dining experience! The restaurant is exquisite. Like fine dining but casual and comfortable. Tables are arranged perfectly so that you’re not sitting too close to the next one. The appetizers were fantastic! I’m not a big wing fan, but gladly accepted them since they are offered. Best wings ever! I could’ve ate a whole plate full. Perfectly crisp skin, tender chicken, and amazingly flavorful sauce! Meatballs were great. Breads were fresh and delicious, though the flatbread was more like a cracker, it was so good! Salads were made with very fresh lettuces and greens, simply dressed and a great start to the meal. Then we get to the pizza! Holy moly! Every single slice was delicious! Even the simple cheese was over-the-top good! Flavorful, creamy cheese, fresh toppings, quality meats, all fantastic. Loved the Portuguesa which had hard boiled eggs on it, very unusual, but it was actually ones of my favorites! There was also one with finely sliced chunks of ham that was delicious! The dessert pizzas were good, especially the banana. The others were alright, but didn’t wow us like the banana. I personally think the dessert pizzas could use a little improvement and more variety, but it’s certainly not going to stop me from returning! Everything was timed well, and we felt we were given enough time to enjoy each offering before bringing out the next one. My only real “complaint” is that the waitress (who took our order) wasn’t exceptionally friendly or attentive, but the rest of the waitstaff was very friendly and cheerful. Our drinks sat empty a couple times before being noticed by other members of the waitstaff. We werent really clear on how the waitstaff worked…If we were supposed to have just one or if they all worked together, because honestly, the lady who took our order didn’t really do much otherwise. Again, nothing that would prevent me from returning, I’d just hope for more attentive service as far as drink refills next time. Overall, totally worthy of five stars!
Jaime B — Google review
Much better than expected! We really enjoyed ourselves. The wings were much better than most pizza places and the salad and meatballs were good as well. The pizza was both interesting and good. They had some novel flavors and combinations that I really enjoyed. It was a refreshing departure from the usual and I really liked it even if it would never be my “favorite.” The ‘Brazilian steakhouse for pizza’ concept mostly worked. There was a bit of a lull where they seemed to have run out of pizza ready to serve. It only lasted about 10 minutes, but some other customers were unnecessarily rude about it. The staff was unfailingly polite and everything was very, very clean. I usually skip dessert pizzas, but theirs were above average and I think I tried them all. I would go back.

Pizza-Rio was such a fun and unique dining experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming, modern, and clean. The dining room is bright with plenty of natural light, and the tables are nicely set with thoughtful little touches like oil, hot sauce, and even a candle on the table – giving it a cozy but upscale vibe. The service was excellent from start to finish. Our server explained how the Brazilian all-you-can-eat pizza concept worked, and they were attentive throughout the meal, asked if we were celebrating anything special and incorporated it into our visit, as well as always making sure we had what we needed. We started with fresh bread, crisp Caesar salad, and cold water served in a carafe, which was a nice touch. The salad was simple but fresh with crunchy croutons and plenty of parmesan. Then came the star of the show – the endless pizzas! They rotate through with different trays and offer you a slice right at the table. The variety was incredible: from traditional flavors like pepperoni, cheese, Hawaiian, and margherita, to more unique options like broccoli and corn, nachos pizza, and even loaded meat combinations. It was so fun to try things I normally wouldn’t think to order, and the quality was consistently good. The crust was baked perfectly, the toppings were fresh, and the flavors were bold. Just when we thought we were too full, the dessert pizzas came out – and wow. The Nutella Com Morango, Banoffee (which has Brazilian dulce de leche), and Brigadeiro pizzas were the perfect sweet ending to the meal. It’s not every day you get dessert on pizza, and it was surprisingly delicious. Overall, Pizza-Rio is a must-visit in Pigeon Forge if you’re looking for something different from the usual. It’s all-you-can-eat, but with a classy and fun twist, and you truly get to try flavors you can’t find anywhere else. Between the excellent service, clean and modern atmosphere, and amazing food, I’d absolutely come back again. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!

We really enjoyed the pizzas that Pizza Rio provided. The wings were delicious (lemon pepper was the best flavor) and they give you as many as you want. I also really liked a lot of the pizzas, my favorite was the bacon, the vegetable, and the chicken catupiry. I did have one pizza I disliked and that’s the stroganoff one, it tasted too much like mustard and nothing like the stroganoff that I’ve had in Brazil. The dessert pizzas were even better and you can’t go wrong with any of them. My favorite was the banoffee, brigadeiro, and coconut. The Nutella one was good too and so was the Romeo e Julieta.

We checked out Pizza-Rio – The Brazilian Way while in Pigeon Forge, and I’ve gotta say… we loved it. From the second we walked in, the hostess and servers were so friendly—like genuinely warm, not just “tourist town polite.” The food? Amazing. Everything came out fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. The mushroom pizza was rich and earthy, with just the right amount of cheese—not greasy, just perfectly balanced. And the steak pizza? Total showstopper. Juicy, flavorful, and so satisfying. Honestly, you can tell they care about what they’re serving. If you’re in Pigeon Forge and want something a little different from the usual spots, this is absolutely worth a stop. We’ll be talking about that mushroom pizza for a while. We HIGHLY recommend Pizza Rio, and we WILL be back!

This place was amazing!! I love pizza, I would say that I am a pizza connoisseur by every means. The appetizers were so delicious! I got the Caesar salad and my fiancee ordered the wings. We ate all this before we even got to the pizza. As for the pizza, it was most, most, most, excellent. They were just bringing out different types of pizza and I just ate whatever came to our table at that point. I didn't eat the crust so I could eat more pizza. Everyone was really extraordinary with the service. I would go every weekend if I lived in pigeon forge. Ratings: Old fashioned 10/10 Buffalo chicken wings 8/10 Garlic Parmesan wings 9/10 Pepperoni pizza 9/10 Nachos pizza 9/10 Supreme pizza 8/10 Cheese pizza 10/10 Quatro Carnes Pizza 10/10

Our favorite place we ate in the area. The Brazilian style is well worth the price. For 20 some each you got starter course, then wings, then over 17 choices of pizza unlimited and followed by dessert pizza!! Everything we tasted was amazing. The four cheese pizza I thought about the rest of the trip and Doritos pizza never would guessed it would be so good. Our waiter Louis was very good friendly and attentive. The only thing I could see being slight concern for some - if you have allergies the pizza choices come out on the same pan so they appear to be cooked with each other. Would definitely recommend to anyone going to the area the food is phenomenal, even waiters who weren’t ours checked in on us. Loved it definitely will stop back if we get back to the area

If youre in the Pigeon Forge area and are looking for a great restaurant, don't hesitate, go to Pizza Rio. It is a beautiful, clean building. Very well staffed with attentive servers. The food is amazing and the concept is like nothing I've seen (we've eaten at a Brazilian steak house before, this is that but with pizza) . We've eaten at many restaurants all over the US and this place ranks in my top 5 easily. Go hungry! Don't shy at the price, it is well worth the $28 per person. They bring small portions and small pizza slices, which is perfect, so you can try as much as possible. They have very interesting toppings, and we love something different. But there's also basics, like pepperoni and cheese, for the less adventerous. We loved the steak pizza, the mushroom, the four meat, and so much more! Even their black coffee was perfect, it's usually too weak for me. All of their food was excellent, but their dessert pizzas were some of the best things I have ever tasted. Love it! Recommend it! Thanks for a great experience for my son's 19th birthday.

This cafe is a fantastic place with great food and excellent service. The menu features custom smoothies as well as sandwiches and wraps, making it the perfect spot for health-conscious diners. It's very clean and tidy, with no sticky floors or tables - making it a great choice whether you're in a hurry or not. The smoothie was a bit thin for my taste, but overall I enjoyed my visit to Tropical Smoothie Cafe!

Updated review: Much better this time around. Tried the chicken pesto flatbread and really enjoyed it. 2021 review: I like the food, it the service at this location was lacking. We ordered online then went inside once we got there to wait…and wait we did. I think our order got pushed to the side because someone finally asked what I was waiting on and got it to me not too long after.
