31 Best American Restaurants in Pigeon Forge

“Despite massive crowds on a Monday night which, judging from the size of their parking lot is likely every night, we were seated almost 20 minutes early for our 8:15 reservation. Our server was friendly and made great suggestions, was attentive for refills despite having a full section, and the drinks (fresh juices for the kids and Lemon Blueberry Cider for the Mrs and I) were awesome and refreshing after a long humid day at nearby Dollywood! The food was excellent and everyone left happy!“

“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? 😂“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Awesome place and huge portions.“

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

“great staff and excellent service“

“I got the military discount, call ahead for that one. You only get the premium or regular section for that discount. I don't know how, because we didn't eat that much, but we got so ridiculously full with our meal we couldn't finish it. I think I loved the soup the best. Our show was good, but the best part was when they improvised a bit in the middle while setting up. I thought they did a good job at their show. I recommend getting there early, like they say to, because they do rush through the food. The drinks are good. I think, as a tourist, if you're looking at all these dang dinner shows and can't decide which one to choose, if you like country blue grass music, this is a good option.“

“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.“

“Walked into the place with a lot on our mind regarding some traveling issues that were not yet worked out. Tess was amazing. She was so joyful and positive that she turned our mood around immediately. The food was great and the service was outstanding. It was just what we needed during a rough moment in our travels. Tess went above and beyond to make things great.“

“No wait... We were seated immediately.
Food was fresh - nice cold salad.
The hot food came out nice and hot.
The waitress was pleasant and personable. She took care of us.
The atmosphere - different TVs on different sports channels. Not real noisy. We were chilly cold - the A/C was definitely working.
Will we go back? Yes.“

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

“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!!!“

“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“

“Ember and Elm at Dollywood's HeartSong Lodge is a fantastic choice for dining in Pigeon Forge. We always enjoy the complimentary biscuits with butter and mango-peach preserves. We have ordered the deviled egg appetizer several times. We like the variety as offered on the menu, but have willingly paid the upcharge to have all 9 deviled eggs include hot honey fried shrimp atop! We have ordered a variety of the entrees and enjoyed them all. I especially like the agave-glazed carrots!“

“The show is absolutely sensational! If you’re visiting the area, you should seriously consider going. Don’t miss the opportunity because it’s an incredible experience and definitely worth your time.

I would also like to make two very important suggestions to the economic group that manages this venue, as well as several other attractions in the same city.

First, please improve the online ticketing system by accepting credit cards from more countries. Currently, the website only accepts cards from a very limited number of countries. I am from Brazil, and my credit card was not accepted, which made purchasing tickets unnecessarily difficult.

Second, please enable contactless (tap-to-pay) payments at the ticket office. Many international tourists do not carry their physical credit cards at all times, relying instead on their phones or smartwatches for payments. Offering contactless payment would make the experience much more convenient for visitors from around the world.

These two improvements would make an already amazing experience even better for international guests.“

“The food and the staff are excellent!“

“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 ! !“

“Puckett’s catered the meal after our daughter’s wedding. The delivery was right on time! Food was excellent and in ample portions! We highly recommend them for your catering needs!“

“Waitress should have repeated the order back as she hear one of the orders wrong. The 13 year old ordered chicken stripes and she heard chicken parmesan. The fact she thought coming back to the table to say she heard chicken parm after the order was delivered and we sent it back, is reason I'm even leaving a review.

However, the food was outstanding. We will be back and we will request that the order is repeated back to us. The decor was nice too.“

“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!“

“My family and I ate here 2 days in a row. The food is amazing. The chickens all around the restaurant are nice to look at while eating. Most of all our server KELLY. She is awesome. Her attitude, attention to details we didn’t have to ask her to refill our drinks. I will definitely be back because of her…“
