Restaurants in Pigeon Forge

“It was our first time in Pigeon Forge. What a great vacation overall. We stumbled across Sunliner Diner and oh my goodness what a find. We grew up in the era of the diner's atmosphere. Fantastic decor and the music was right on point. The guests were even singing along OUTLOUD! We had Chris as our server and boy was he attentive. Nothing was missed. He even took time to talk to us personally with out jeopardizing his other customers. We were there 3 different days and meal times. All of them were great. If you want a blast from the past, dont miss Sunliner Diner”

“Wow. Exceptional taste and quality. Simply the best. Our server, Anthony B, was on point with the service and recommendations. A perfect experience. If you're around town, this place is a MUST!”

“Awesome place and huge portions.”

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

“Absolutely amazing! Our group of 10 had burgers, chicken sandwiches, mini corn dogs, fries, sweet potato fries, onion rings and a salad. The sign on the door asks for patience due to employee training, the time was actually super short! The food was fresh and delicious. Seriously the best burger I’ve ever ate and those crunchy onion rings are to out of this world. All of the employees were super nice. 10/10 recommend!”

“The food is absolutely fantastic!! The staff are very friendly. The owner even shared a few gluten free secrets with my wife. I had the chicken salad and our party shared a giant pretzel. This was the most memorable dining experience I can remember in quite a long time. Nothing fancy here but who needs it when everything is done perfectly. I’m glad there aren’t a thousand people out there door but there should be.”

“Great experience today (4/9)! Ownership took the time to talk to us and his team showed the kids the process for how things worked and how the magic was made! Also, if you’re 21+ in age, you MAY want to try your ice cream buzzed!”

“We come here very often. Brianna was our server today. Great service and personality. Also very attentive! Will ask for her every time.”

“Majid is the BEST server! Ask for him if you’re there Fri-Mon! We’ve had him 3 years in a row when visiting, and he (along with consistent & delicious food!) make the experience!”

“we were staying at the way back and went in just for drinks bartender Candy was absolutely amazing great environment will definitely be back.”

“We went there 1/10/2025 beautiful rainy day, the restaurant wasn’t packed. The atmosphere was nice, Cuban music, Cuban desserts and sodas at a glance. We were attended quickly, we got our cold drinks and the appetizers freshly made. The beef empanada and ham croquettes were amazing. Then we got the pork chunks and the shredded beef, the entrees come with white rice, beans, and your choice of tostones or maduros (no yuca that day). Finally we got a tres leches as dessert and cafesito (Cuban coffee). Overall we give it a 9 in our opinion, just because the shredded meat was a bit tough.”

“Very well done dinner show! The staff is extremely helpful and friendly! The food is pretty good but really we were there for the show! They’re also really great about food allergies/restrictions with options like gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian! The show itself was awesome and the animals all seemed to be taken care of very well!”

“We had soooo much fun!! The cast was fabulous! The food was amazing as was the service! Our waitress Torie, was very sweet! She was part of the cast also. She even asked us to participate in a fun little competition on stage! It was hysterical!!”

“First of all, this is definitely a good show to see. However, the price that they charge is a bit too high. Also, the food that they offer has nothing special about it, but they are good portion so you won't leave the place and still be hungry afterwards. Since I got the ticket at the last minute, I was seated at the last row. I was surprised that the view wasn't bad at all and I can see the whole performance without a problem. Again, I really enjoyed the show but I don't see myself will come back to watch again unless the ticket price goes down or they make the meal more unique to make it worthwhile.”

“we are visiting TN from NJ and we LOVE Indian food. we stopped here to review the menu and inside smelt so delicious! We ordered an array of food and everything we had was absolutely delicious!! Definitely recommend this to anyone in the Pigeon Forge area!!!”

“Amazing 🤩 What an incredible experience! The mystery dinner was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. The actors did a fantastic job staying in character and keeping everyone entertained while drawing the audience into the mystery. The storyline was fun, full of twists, and kept us guessing until the very end. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the entire evening was well organized. It was the perfect combination of great entertainment, laughter, and audience participation. Whether you’re going with family, friends, or on a date night, it’s an experience you won’t forget. I would highly recommend the mystery dinner to anyone looking for a unique and memorable night out. We had an absolute blast and can’t wait to do it again!”

“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!”

“We had the best experience here for our family of 5! Just getting in to pigeon forge our family of 5 wanted something good to eat. Even in our sweats we were welcomed from the beginning. Our waiter Marcus was the best! Definitely a must try if you want a fun and unique experience!”

“Excellent food, prompt and wonderful service each time we've been there! One of our favorite places in the area.”

“Our hotels close by and we always come to Pucketts! The ribs and baked beans are always yummy!”

“Most authentic Mexican food I’ve had in the US. Good was very favorable and the staff so kind!”

“Best show and food in town!”

“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”

“found this hidden gem while at a ballgame. pizza was great! manager suggested funnel sticks for the road so I got them. I will be back next trip to town”

“Fabulously funny entertainment! Dinner and a show! Great food and hilarious server! thanks Pippy!”

“The food was delicious!! Adrienne our server and Nicole made it a great experience!!”

“Service was great, Dustin, our server, walked us through all our menu questions and food options. Sausage appetizer was tasty and our entire party enjoyed their meals !”

“❤️Great Service and and the food was delicious!”

“We are visiting PF, and I was craving some chinese. This place did NOT disappoint! And even though we had it delivered, it was HOT and FRESH and the hibachi chicken and veggies were fantastic and the s&s shrimp was crunchy and sooo good. Not to mention our delivery driver was phenomenal, he caught an error I made in the address but saved the day! Things like that won’t be forgotten. This place is definitely worth a visit!”

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

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings”

“Our food was great the service was wonderful or waiter miss Rachel was the sweetest we enjoyed chatting to her, not many places you go to when your traveling from another state are very nice but Rachel was very polite and took time to have a conversation with our family my little boy is six and she was very patient either him when he wanted to make his own order :) definitely will be back on our next visit, THANK YOU RACHEL”

“Tony is the BEST. He was the only worker there and it was very busy. He made our sandwiches quickly and was very nice. he apologized for our wait even though it wasn’t very long. the sandwich was amazing and couldn’t have asked for better customer service from someone under so much pressure. THANK YOU TONY!”

“A lot of different flavors of homemade ice cream. Very nice family owned place. Highly recommend going there if you want ice cream with a smile!”

“The service was excellent, the Patty melt with chili cheese fries were delicious, so good, I ate there twice on my Vacation. Highly recommended. Oh and I got souvenir shirts to take home!”

“Okay so the funnel cake is awesome. It's really good. But what I really need to comment on is there is a man that works there and I believe he said he's from Ecuador. What a gem of a human being. I did not catch his name but if the store owner reads these reviews I really hope this man gets some props as an employee.

And if he gets a chance to read this then I want to tell him what an awesome person he is and what an impact he made just by talking to him for about 2 or 3 minutes.

Their food is awesome so definitely go there for the funnel cake. They have so many options for toppings and different kinds. I've never seen a place with that many options.

And to the very awesome Ecuadorian man, I hope you get that family that you want with the wife and kids and I hope you get to go see your parents soon.”

“Great food and service! Trish was our waitress and she did an amazing job!”

“They took such good care of us at Smoky Mountain Burritos. So welcoming to my entire family. Great food and very cute atmosphere. Whenever we are visiting Pigeon Forge again, we will definitely be stopping back in!”

“Great food and great service highly recommend 👌”

“The food and the staff are excellent!”

“My daughter has a severe dairy, egg, and tree nut allergy. She can't eat out at most restaurants due to risk of cross contamination. My husband read that Mellow Mushroom had a vegan menu, so I called to ask what procedures they use for the vegan items to see if her food could safely be prepared separately from allergen items. I spoke with the manager, Drew, who not only said, "Absolutely we can safely prepare her food, no problem," but then he walked through all the steps that would be taken to ensure her food would be safe. That gave this very anxious allergy mom much needed reassurance and comfort. When we arrived, he came over and introduced himself and again reassured us he would take care of our sweet girl. He even made the pizza himself and returned to our table to explain the safety precautions he took. He truly went above and beyond to make sure my daughter was able to enjoy a meal out. I can't express how much that meant to me and my family. Very thankful to Drew for such a great experience! 10/10 recommend, especially for anyone with strict allergy avoidance.”

“Their Gluten Free pizza is delicious 😋 as someone that had to go GF a year ago this pizza tastes just like their original dough! Even my nonGF family thinks it tastes the same!!!”

“This was the best ever. After coming to Tennessee for years, we've finally found our favorite restaurant. Best fried chicken in the world. Go see for yourself. You can thank me later”

“The food here is absolutely incredible. The service is even better it was Reyna’s day and I never would have guessed. She was so friendly and knowledgeable made great recommendations and even chatted with my chatty niece. the honey wings are to die for and the chicken bacon ranch pizza was incredible their homemade buffalo is 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 the taco pizza was also good. All in all a great”

“Very good service and nice people very good food and most of all the smoothies were awesome 👏 it was great 👍 Written by my 10 year old grandson ♥️”

“Very good coffee and the guy that helped me was knowledgeable and just fun to talk to. I’d absolutely come back again.”

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

“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!”

“Top quality across the menu, but the Salmon Tacos, incredibly made with Faroe Island salmon, are next-level delicious.”

“We came to the Lil Black Bear Cafe the last time we were in town and it was one of the few places that made a lasting impression. We are back in town and its better than I remember! We will be back .... again abd again and again! Lenny and his team are the friendliness in town! You will not find a better pancake!”

“Recently went to Talitas on the recommendation of a friend and was very pleased. The staff is so friendly and helpful and the food was so delishous! Can't wait to go back on our next visit to the area.”

“Timberwood Grill has always been one of my favorites places to eat when visiting. Great food and customer service. No complaints here.”

“Family mountain getaway vacation for a week, in the mountains of TN.
Cabins USA rep Andrew checked in to ensure our stay met all of our expectations & needs while staying at One More Night.”

“We stopped in to grab some breakfast and ordered a few things off of the sides menu, the breakfast tacos and the beignets. My boyfriend who ordered the breakfast tacos was unaware that the mango salsa that came on them had tomatoes and onions in it. He has a food sensitivity to onions and while trying to pick through the tacos to get them all out a waiter noticed he was unhappy with his meal and pulled our waitress, Mariah (hopefully this is the right name as it was the only name on our receipt), to the side to have her check on us. My boyfriend didn't want to cause a big fuss but she insisted that his food be replaced with something he would be happier eating. He ended up ordering an omelet, which he said was delicious. Mariah was super sweet and definitely knows how to take care of her customers. The entire staff was very friendly and attentive. Our favorite thing that we ordered was the beignets. They were delicious. The grits are also super good. Thank you to the staff who took care of us today! Sorry we didn't catch all of your names but you were all very much appreciated!”

“Our first time here. Exceptional service! 👏
Everyone was very nice and welcoming. Our waitress Elena was very kind . . The food was quite scrumptious. 😋 Thank you.”

“The wife and i really love the food, friendly staff and inviting atmosphere. We will be definitely going back and having breakfast again.”

“I recently ate at one of the most interesting and entertaining places I’ve come across! They have animatronic chickens parodying all kinds of popular culture, with plenty of references that are especially fitting for the area of Tennessee where it’s located.

The food was solid, and for a tourist town, I thought the prices were actually pretty reasonable. The service was good as well.

But honestly, the atmosphere is what makes this place stand out. The animatronics and comedy will keep you entertained throughout your visit and definitely make it a place worth coming back to. If you’re in the area, I’d highly recommend checking it out!”

“great staff and excellent service”

“Had dinner while on vacation. Had the Gorgonzola penne chicken. It was so good! My husband had the Jonny’s special (lasagna and Chicken parm) it was great. Everyone was so nice.”

“The food was very good, but I can’t believe that u should have your dog set on a chair and then let it eat off the table, I love dogs and cats, but there’s a cut off point at some time.”

“Awesome food and greatness service”

“If you've been to one Five Guys, you've been to all.”

“I ordered a Mint Chocolate Chip Concrete. If you get one maybe ask for less chocolate chips. About 60/70% of my cup was mostly chocolate chips and about 40/30% was actual ice cream. I had to spit out the chocolate chips at some point because it was too much. But the service was still great and would definitely come here again. :)”

“Nice atmosphere, polite staff, and the coffee is amazing”

“Best in the area”

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

“So good. A must buy when in Dollywood!! So fresh, delicious, and soft. One cinnamon bread is shareable.

Get one at the beginning of the day before it gets busy, and then at the end of the day to take home.”

“Had their naked wings and pizza, both were awesome!! Highly recommend and service was great! Visiting from IN”

“our visit in pigeon forge was GREAT ! Friendless people an amazing service . 5 Stars”

“This is a must stop for our family when visiting the area. My husband looks forward to it every time. Not only is the food good, but it comes out quickly. We have small children, so we appreciate a hot meal that comes out fast. We had Traci as our server. She was very kind and attentive. Look forward to next year!”

“I enjoyed it although my hubby not so much. Not sure if we got the best service as we were clearly tourists and I expect the owner decided to charge us “what the market would bear” since there were no listed prices. Disappointed that we couldn’t get a beer with our dinner.”

“Spent an evening at Iron Boar Saloon with friends, cold drinks and some great live music. This place has exactly the kind of laid-back atmosphere you hope to find in Pigeon Forge.

Iron Boar has a dining area along with the Hog Shed, where you can grab a seat, hang out and catch live music. Drinks were reasonably priced, and the bar staff took great care of us. Special thanks to Frankie for the great service!

We happened to catch the legendary Kincaid Band, who put on an incredible three-hour show packed with classic rock and more. They kept the place entertained all evening.

If you’re looking for a spot that’s a little less polished and a lot more Pigeon Forge personality, Iron Boar is worth the stop. Good drinks, good people, live music and a fun atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back.”

“We were 10 of us rushed at closing time friday around 11pm! still both ladies welcome and made sandwiches the way we want. Really appreciates! Nice service and food.”

“Also i feel that the Waitress at the Burlington NJ location is kind and welcoming to me & my husband who are older. We appreciate how she talks about new items to try. I will definitely request her area to sit since she is full time waitress”

“My family loves eating here. They’re polite, quick, and delicious. We love that for it being pizza it’s not so greasy like everywhere else. And they give a 25% local discount!🍕😊”

“This was the best breakfast we had on our trip! The cinnamon roll pancakes were ����amazing!!!”

“What a pleasant surprise this ended up being. I'd never been inside a Cheddar's. The inside is beautifully done. The food and service were fantastic. And the prices were insanely reasonable. This will be in our rotation.”

“man listen. cook out has yet to disappoint when I need an "elevated" eat. those chicken and beef quesadillas🔥the onion rings🔥the milkshakes I am beside myself right now 😜”

“The food was very good, but I can’t believe that u should have your dog set on a chair and then let it eat off the table, I love dogs and cats, but there’s a cut off point at some time.”

“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!”

“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”
