Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg eats

[graydw1]

Looking for out of the way joints to eat at.  Wanting to stay away from the chain restaurants.

The wife and I both enjoy The Peddler in Gatlinburg. Its been years since we have ate there so I can not attest to the quality these days.

I generally find both towns to be a wasteland when trying to find good food. J.T. Hannah's in PF is not bad. Nothing special, but the food is generally good. Hungry Bear BBQ in G'burg is good.

 

Cherokee Grill and Park Grill (both near light 10 in G'burg) look like the nicest places in town, but I haven't tried either yet.

 

Pretty much everything else I've tried tastes like "how much of this cheap crap can we sell to the throngs of tourists?"

[raildog]

My wife loves KC's its in the outlet mall

The Old Mill is a good place to eat. The Apple Barn and the farm house are also good. This time of the year not to crowded.

3 Jimmys is pretty good, Old Mill is also. Ilike Calhouns but they are not gun friendly. Alamo is doing buy one get one thru the week right now for lunch. Been eating there almost everyday. They say the Peddler is pretty good but Ive never tried it. Wifes cousin works there ,may hafta take her for VDay and use her cousins discount.

I miss sitting over the river at Ruby Tuesday's. Not totally for the food, but the view was awesome. That and Waldo Peppers.

Mrs. DaddyO and I enjoy Mel's Classic Diner and The Applewood Farmhouse.

Holstons in Sevierville local place similar to an applebee's etc.

Little Tokyo in Pigeon Forge, Blue Moose under Little Tokyo sports bar wings etc. (TVs play sports)

Log Cabin Pancake House at the end of Pigeon Forge before the spur to G'Burg. Local old place get French Toast Royal.

TJ Hannas in Pigeon Forge. Similar to applebees etc.

my wife and i were there in september and ate at bistro 109 in seveirville. the food was good, and it was quiet (which during the car show was hard to come by).

If you want to go pretty romantic and not hugely expensive (more than the chains, etc. though), the Buckhorn Inn is superb. Outstanding food, great service, beautiful views. They have one service each night. Check out the menu.....http://www.buckhorninn.com/about-the-inn/

 

Reservations are required

What type of cuisine ?

[10-Ring]

Greenbrier Restaurant.  One of the only reasons to go to Gatlinburg.  Actually if you just want a good Gatlinburg experience nothing fits that place quite like a Taco Bell.

Smoky Mountain Brewery in GB is my favorite pizza place. 

[UncleJak]

For breakfast I ate at the bear's grill (i think that's what it is called)everyday. It was right up the street from that log cabin pancake place. Great food, great prices, no crazy lines like the pancake house, and bluegrass music!

[seez52]

if anybody says pancakes i'll .......! :poop:

[peejman]

Pancake Pantry!  :)    It's cash only, so be ready for that.

 

 

 

Honestly though.... I've never had anything in that area I thought was especially good for the money.  The reasonably good local places tend to be way over-priced and way too "touristy" for me.  The chain restaurants are the same as every other one with 20% higher prices.  They all get their food off the same Cisco or US Foods trucks anyway.  Given the option, I'd go to Cracker Barrel.  YMMV.

What peejman said.

 

JT Hannah's is probably the best of them in PF.

 

 

I stand behind Hungry Bear BBQ in Gatlinburg. Good stuff. Not fancy, just 'cue on a bun in a styrofoam box, but darn tasty.

The original Best Italian restaurant in Gatlinburg.(there's two)
The Old Mill in PF. The Pancake Pantry.

All true.  Except for the Cracker Barrel.  

 

Like R1100R mentioned, Best Italian in Cattleburg is pretty good.  Of course it's been over a decade since I was there.
