The food is the highest quality by far in the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area. Everything was well seasoned, homemade, and cooked to perfection.
The staff was so friendly, clean restaurant & restrooms, and the outside picnic area was clean and shady.
Located across the street from excellent trails in the Great Smoky Mountains, it is the perfect pit stop after a hike.
Highly recommend this as a destination if you are ever in the Gatlinburg area.

The BBQ was fantastic! When we left, the chef was outside loading up the grill for tomorrow. I stopped to think of all the lucky people who will get to eat there tomorrow 😁There were tasty sauce options and delicious sides. Prices were fair for the quality. Best of all the people that work there are super friendly and kind; we felt very welcome even though we were a rag-tag group of sweaty, muddy hiker ladies.
Thank you! We'll be back ❤️

The food here is fantastic. The main course options paired with a variety of sides leave you open to quite a bit of variety. The staff was incredibly friendly and had our meal at our table not 5 minutes after ordering. The prices are a hair on the steeper end but well worth it.

I’m from out of state so I saw this was a smaller place and figured I’d give it a shot. My father competed in bbq contests so I’m picky with what I like in terms of bbq. I ordered the ribs and a brisket sandwhich at 830 before they closed. The ribs were fantastic, some of the best I’ve had! The people were nice and had a great family owned, quiet town vibe. Will be back when I visit

If I could I would give 0 stars!!! Absolutely horrible, not fresh, pulled pork was frozen, no taste. Don’t waste your money.

I only ordered the barbecue rib sandwich. It tasted great. fast service and friendly people? Just a tad high priced than other places
