    A&W Restaurant: $ - fries 10/10 fish fried style taste - Chicken sliders 8/10 after taste - Cheeseburger 6/10 too many pickles, bland a little hard to swallow - Fruit punch 10/10 immaculate - Dr. Pepper 6/10 little watered down Overall: I'd eat here again.

    Our group and the man who might change America

    I would normally never review a fast food place like this but the guy who works here is so fantastic it deserves a review. I didn't catch his name but he is originally from long island. The first time we went into this A&W my wife spotted that hey had root beer made fresh and she wanted to try it. We went in and encountered this man who when we ordered a root beer to go he insisted we try it in a frosted glass instead. We did and it was great. We chatted with him a bit and he made us a to go cup after we were done with the glass. We went in a few days later and he remembered us. We got 4 root beers in glasses (the right way) and talked to him some more. He was super nice and brought over refills. This man is what America needs more of! We need people who love what they do and want you to love their business as much as they do. If there were more people like this small businesses would thrive. I don't know if this man is the owner or a manager but I hope he sees the greatest success in life!

    If you're traveling between Pigeon Forge and Townsend, do yourself a favor and stop at Sloppy Hog…read moreBurger Joint! This place is a hidden gem in Wears Valley with incredible mountain views, a relaxed atmosphere, and some of the best comfort food in the Smokies. The smash burgers are outstanding! Juicy , flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Their signature sloppy joes are packed with flavor and definitely live up to the restaurant's name. The wings are delicious, and the pizza is a great option for sharing with family and friends. Everything we ordered came out fresh and hot. What really sets this place apart is the combination of great food, friendly service, and the beautiful setting. The outdoor seating offers amazing Smoky Mountain views, making it the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring the area. Whether you're a local or just visiting the Smokies, Sloppy Hog is absolutely worth the stop. We'll definitely be back for more burgers, wings, and sloppy joes! Highly recommended!

    We have driven by Sloppy Hog countless times and they've always seemed busy. Yet the reviews…read morecontradicted what looks to be a great place to eat. We finally decided to see if the busyness of the restaurant was a better indicator than the reviews we had seen. We ordered to go. A large BBQ Chicken Pizza with half of it substituting jalapeños for the onion. We also ordered a large Whole Hog. These are thin crust pizzas. The host said the bartender was next door restocking and would be back soon to take our order. We waited around ten minutes for her to return. She came back with some beer and became preoccupied for a few moments with a scratch and commented that she couldn't believe she was bleeding. Not what you want to hear from a restaurant employee. The place was extremely busy with a line waiting for a seat, so when the bartender who took our order said it would be 40 minutes, we weren't surprised. We left to get some groceries while waiting and returned about thirty minutes later. We sat in our vehicle and waited. We saw the bartender come out and look at cars as tho looking for someone. We waited a few more minutes then went in. Our pizzas were on the bar. They were finished early. The issue we have is this: the bartender is the only one who will help at the bar. She was very busy but the staff around her wouldn't even look our way in spite of trying to get their attention. The pizza was already paid for and we just wanted to have it given to us and get it back to the cabin before it cooled too much. Didn't happen. 5-10 minutes later, we left with the pizzas. Seems they could have a better way of handling to go orders. The pizzas were tasty. The BBQ chicken could have stood a lot more chicken on it. The Whole Hog, on the other hand, was loaded... with a whole hog, it would seem. That was a winner. We would give it a go again but I think we would try the burgers. We saw them being delivered to tables and they looked amazing. Would I recommend? Yeah. Just don't be in a rush.
