24 Best American Restaurants in Pigeon Forge

“We’re visiting from Florida & we heard about the amazing staff and food all the way down there so we had to come & WOW. We are so happy we did. The food was such a large proportion and so delicious. The waiter we had was kind, knowledgeable and speedy. Francisco. Then to end our lunch was an amazing woman who I believe was the manager coming over and checking in on how our lunch went, Sandy. She chatted with our family for a while and you could tell she was genuinely so happy to be there and it made a memory for our kids for a lifetime :) we will definitely be telling everyone about the amazing experience we had!! Thank you all!“

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

“Sheeeeeeshhhhh!!! 🤤🤤 From the burgers to the wings!!!! Drive 5 hours to eat…why not? 😂“

“The Bison burger was fantastic and their Starters are fabulous“

“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!“

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

“The ribeye was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth!! We took key lime to go .... 2 layers like no other.“

“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!“

“From michigan and this was the first time at the restaurant. As one of the kids at the table this was one of the best first experiences especially with our hilarious waitress anjelika.“

“The food and service were so good that we ate dinner here two days in a row.
Dinner starts with a croissant drenched in honey butter. We added a Margarita and pineapple mule to dinner the first night. The shrimp and fish had a light crispy batter all were perfectly fried. The steak tips in mashed potatoes, covered in grilled onions and brown gravy were perfect.
Next night was crispy chicken on a bed of greens with sweet pecans. His country fried steak was huge but a little inconsistent thickness made it's texture vary. Our servers were college kids and very attentive.

“This was my first time at a Waffle House and I had a great experience. Cody was our server and he did an amazing job. Very friendly, wonderful service, and he was careful and precise in his service. I now feel that if I go to another Waffle House, it would be a sub-par experience.“

“The pork rinds are delicious!!! They actually fry them at the stand!!! The BBQ flavored ones were really good!!! Would definitely get them again if I was in the park! They are a great snack to ward off hunger!!! You can’t go wrong with these!!! Would recommend getting the souvenir bucket because it is refillable and that is a cheaper way to go!!! Enjoy some the next time you go by!!!“

“What a wonderful dinner at Ember & Elm. I am a foodie and very particular about my food, and this experience did not disappoint!! Our waitress, Poppy, was fantastic, and the food was 5 star. The salmon was perfectly cooked (medium) and our appetizers of deviled eggs and southern fall medley with crispy Brussels sprouts, pork belly and sweet potato slivers was amazing. We took dessert to go - strawberry shortcake and bread pudding, was excellent. The chef and staff checked on us several times. I highly recommend this restaurant!!!“

“I had the pleasure of dining at your facility with a cousin and his wife on Friday September 5th. We were greeted warmly by the front desk, seated and informed that Ashley would be our server. She arrived at the table welcomed us, introduced herself and ask if we had drink orders. She took them and left to let us survey your diverse menu. When she returned with drinks she asked if we were ready to order. We were and did, she wrote nothing down! She then told us of some of the exciting memorabilia displayed around your facility. Famous guitars of several world-renowned musicians. Ashley returned with our food and accurately placed each dish at the proper place. Again, without having written anything down. Very good at what she does! Shortly, another of your staff visited to introduce herself, Tina Wilson. Again, very friendly and entertaining. Asking us about our stay in Pigeon Forge, where were we from and more about the exciting stuff at your restaurant. During the delightful conversation she learned that I had just celebrated my 75th birthday. As we finished our meals she returned with a surprise gift, a birthday sundae and she sang a very inspiring Happy Birthday for me. My cousin, his wife and I were just in awe of the friendly and totally professional attitude of these two employees, Tina and Ashley. You should be very proud of these two representing your establishment. Oh, I also got a nice card signed by many of your employees. A totally unexpected and enjoyable experience all the way around. Bravo to all.“

“i know you can get a good dog at Costco and Sam's Club for $1.50 but sometimes you have to bite the bullet and pay dearly but there is nothing like a good footlong to top off the day at Dollywood and the curly fries are an added treat. Dogs N Taters is the place. You can enjoy a little live music next door if you time it right. I would never pay $13.99 outside of the park unless I was at an NFL game but hey you only live once. Enjoy it ! !“

“Awesome place and huge portions.“

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

“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“
