50 Best Vegetarian 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“

“The food was excellent and our server was wonderful! He was so kind, when I left my credit card he found us out in the parking lot and returned it to me, that as so kind of him, it would have been a much different day for me tomorrow if he hadn't done that!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“friendly.. Great selection... Amazing flavors. great fun. love me some wild Bill.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“the food was amazing. Amanda was very pleasant as our server. prices are good we had burgers with eggs some had the blue cheese burger“

“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!!“

“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“

“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!“

“Went to all three locations and this one was really cool. Glad I remembered to make it my last stop before heading back to the hotel. Got myself some patches because I didn't see them at the Gatlinburg locations. It's also laid out in a way that makes it easy to take everything in. Bright even towards the end of the evening, mannequins at a good height, and color coordinated to draw you all over the place to see what you find. Kudos to the merchandising team.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great food and great service highly recommend 👌“

“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!“

“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!“

“Old Forge Distillery is an amazing place! My wife & I got married in Pigeon Forge for a destination wedding in June 2026 and when we were touring the venue a few months prior, we stumbled upon Old Forge for a quick few drinks and fell in love with the place. We noticed a small area, directly off the entrance that could be a great spot for our happy hour the day before our wedding. We reached out to them and Jessie was super easy to work with, going above and beyond to make the HH perfect for our closest friends and family. It was very reasonably priced and fit exactly what we wanted!

The dedicated bartender was friendly, made AMAZING drinks and was just a great dude. We highly recommend Old Forge Distillery not only for drinks, but hosting small events. It’s a perfect room for 20-25 people.“

“Michael stopped what he was doing, and immediately greeted us. I explained there would be 4 of us and he could not have been kinder. He explained each wine well and was very helpful and funny. He made our experience fun. Wine is good and easy to drink. Will go back.“

“I DO NOT RECOMMEND Have no respect for customers. Just FYI when your payment is pending with them it's not considered paid to them. If a card is declined, it will not show a pending payment for what was so called declined. So was literally held hostage showing them the payment posted on my phone while they were telling me it was declined. Had to get cops involved in the end just so we could leave.“

“I went here for dinner and let me tell you about how great the good is. Started off with the spinach artichoke dip and the flavor was so damn good! I got the ribeye steak and it paired very well with the moonshine margarita (highly recommend). They were pretty busy and the service was excellent. Not once did I have to ask for anything.“

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

“Ami was our waitress and she was absolutely fantastic it was very busy but we were very well taken care of this was our first time and we will definitely be back we live 3 & 1/2 hours away but the next time we visit we will definitely be there thank you for the service and the delicious food ❤“

“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.“

“great staff and excellent service“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“We stopped in when visiting on our girls trip,and Hanson was awesome. We ended up buying the bootleggers redneck wine!! He was very friendly and personable. We will be back.“

“This place is the best! Go try it, you will not be disappointed. Real authentic meals made from scratch, not like the McMexican places in the busier areas of the strip. Walk in, sit down and try for yourself. The salsa alone is worth the visit!“

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

“Great place to enjoy a good cold beverage that are not alcohol free and to visit with two very good bartenders Rhonda and tye. Place just to kick back enjoy the drinks and watch people“

“this place has the best pizza in pigeon forge if you ever get to chance to come eat dinner here you need too“

“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!“

“Showed up for hibachi while visiting the area. We were advised the wait would be an hour and 1/2 for the actual hibachi seating, no big deal. We went back to our cabin and they called us to return when our table was ready. Food was great, environment was great, service was good too! It was very fun! Thank you“

“Great food and great Service“

“1000% RECOMMENDED!!
This place does not get enough praise.
I’m surprised the place was not packed full.
It was beyond worth the 10 mins wait.
As soon as you walk in it was super inviting and aesthetically pleasing.
The kind waitress that served our table wish I got her name. She had blue hair and was super sweet and outgoing she did excellent.
Her recommendations were so on point as well.
The presentation of each dish was beyond perfection.
And the fresh taste to lock im the experience of each dish made it all tie together.
We were expecting our bill to be super crazy expensive but for all the food we got 3 appetizers
2 meals and 2 desserts it was only $80.
It was my first time with my fiance.
OUR only complaint is that they don’t cater.
We would have loved to cater for our wedding.
Best food here in pigeon forge.
And definitely our new recommending place.
Thank you all to everyone who works here.
We will be telling our friends and families.“

“We were passing through and decided to stop since we no longer have a Shoney’s in our hometown. The food was great , service was great, and my kids loved getting to try their first hot fudge cake!“
