“First time visitor on 7/19/25, party of 8. Food and service were top notch. The black & blue steak salad and the fillet were excellent. We will definitely try on future trips.“

“the food is delicious. We had the full experience. We started with salads then there was no wait for the grilled meat and pineapple to start. The lamb chops with mint jelly are the absolute best I have ever had.“

“A visit to Gatlinburg is not complete without enjoying dinner at The Peddler Steakhouse. Great food, great experience.“

“We had dinner at Howard’s last night (8-13). We had a beautiful table over looking the water. Our waitress was great. I wish I had remembered her name but was she was from Romania. We were a party of 4, 3 had the ribeye and 1 the filet. All were cooked perfectly. It was a nice way to celebrate my partners birthday! Thanks again for a nice evening!“

“We went tonight for my mom’s birthday and our Waitress, Jen, was absolutely AMAZING!!! She interacted with all of us so well and cut up and chatted with us and we never had to “want” for anything. She already got it haha the drinks were never empty and we never had to ask for sauce or Anything! And the food was perfect as usual. But her personality and hospitality was literally the best. she so deserves to be recognized! We loved her!“

“we ate at the Sevierville location. 10/10 recommend! Sam our waitress was the best. so sweet and never made us feel rushed. kept our cups full too. the cooks there have steaks down to a science as our rib eye and prime rib were perfect in every way! we will be going back in December!“

“Great menu. Not so many things that you think "How can all this be good" but still have an item for every kind of food mood you might be in. The atmosphere is nice. The gas lights around the stone wall add an upscale and romantic vibe. Good looking bar with a great selection. Drinks are very affordable. The steaks are fantastic, cooked how you want. The bang bang shrimp and brisket egg rolls are must-have apps. Their smash burgers are great too. Honestly, I haven't had anything bad here or any kind of negative experience. They accommodate large parties and have a first-come bar. We eat here every time we are in the area.“

“service was great, meals came quickly, and the food was awesome. I had the Chicago fillet“

“I had the Boursin filet (a filet mignon stuffed with Boursin cheese) and it was one of the top 3 steaks I’ve ever eaten-on par with Ruth’s Chris/Chophouse/Manny’s in Minneapolis. The service was terrific (especially our waiter Gilbert) and the ambience was great. I can’t wait to return.“

“We came in late an hour server was very patient and friendly, and we would visit again based on his service. Food was good too.“

“Food was good except the fire roasted corn, which I love was really dry. It needs to be dipped in melted butter before adding the toppings that didn't have very much on it. I got the lamb chops, and my husband got a flos filet. Both were overcooked. The asparagus was good. They gave me a small cup of the creamed spinach, but it is not creamed. The strawberry daiquiri was good and the baked potato. The service was good.“

“The food was top notch but what really made this experience grand was our server Tonya. She was so friendly! On top of that, The chef even came out and asked how everything was. We will 100% be back next time we visit from Wisconsin! We will 100% ask for Tonya again!“

“Great experience! Smoked chicken was the most flavor throughout and the seasoning was perfect. My dining buddy had the 10oz sirloin Steak, baked potato, and side salad. The steak was cooked medium well and was great...thick cut and juicy. Loved the atmosphere. Waiter was prompt. Plenty of parking. We will be back for sure. Thanks 👍“

“We didn't know what we were planning on eating today after shopping. The guy at the corner said best steak in Tennessee. After we shopped and was walking back to our hotel we decided to give it a try. I am disabled and walk with a cane so we did the drive incline and a few steps. We got seated and Stone was there to get our drink orders. I always choose a sirloin but, none on the menu, Stone provided his top 3 with his favorite being minion. We went with that and was not led wrong very good meal, good price and wonderful service,“
