Overall decent BBQ. Better than some others in the area. Service was prompt and attentive. They had ice cold Yuengling on tap, which is a positive. We visited at lunch time and had no wait. The interior is relaxing and matches the BBQ theme. The brisket queso was very good. Coleslaw and potato salad so-so. You can get a decent meal as a chain, but definitely not the best. read more

The service was fine. The place was empty. Kids eat free. The food was OK But the bbq sauce isn't very good. They couldn't tell me if the seasoning on the fries has celery (highly allergic) because it comes in a frozen bag. The amount of cheese bites for an appetizer is very small to be shared. The brisket he was dry where the sauce wasn't- and mostly tasteless. I was visiting from the north and couldn't wait to try some good southern BBQ. I was very disappointed. read more

Food was good and the service was pretty nice unfortunately they were shutting down cuz some Mr money bags was buying the place other than that the place was pretty clean n whatnot read more

I want to do 3.5 stars but I went with 3 because it's either 3-4 stars. the ambiance was just so so it took a long time to get a table even tho there were several empty and clean ones available (weird). bathrooms were gross the food was pretty good the barbecue ribs were awesome smoked chicken wings awesome but the wait time and bathrooms are the reason for the low stars would have loved to be able to score higher read more

Boyfriend ordered takeout and got food poisoning... I didn't try any and don't think I want to

Super friendly very accommodating for our large party of 13. All the food was delicious and we had the sweetest waitress.

Was good not great. Portions were ok and the food was only warm. Flavor was good but could have been better. The service was average. Would eat here again but it's not high on the list. Value for the price is a little low. read more

The bbq here is decent. We had the pigout sampler, fried dill pickles, dry rub memphis ribs, brisket, creamy mac n cheese, fried catfish with jalapeno hush puppies, sweet potato fries, fried okra and corn on the cob. It felt like a hit or miss type situation roller coaster of what was good and meh. The brisket was dry but the pork rinds were super good. The fried catfish was great but the sweet potato fries and corn on the cob left much to be desired. The fried okra and jalapeno hush puppies were a crowd favorite. The ribs were decent though it felt less flavorful in the meat section than the crust. The staff was nice and attentive when possible. Overall, it was nice place to try once. read more

spending a few days in Pigeon Forge, Corey's was right next to my hotel. Besides the food, it had a drive up window. I have mobility issues and thought if I ordered pickup I could swing by and pick it up without having to park and take my rollinator out o the trunk. I pulled up to the window and explained I wanted to pickup my order. I was told Door Dash orders (their site handed me off to door dash where I have an account) get picked up at the front. I explained I had mobility issues and could someone bring it out to me then. "umm... we don't really do that." I appealed my request and got dead air. so, I drove around front and got out and got my walker and walked and asked for my order and for the manager. Turned out the Manager was the one on the other end. She handed me my food and I proceeded to give her a four letter piece of my mind. She didn't even seem remorseful or bothered that I had to do so much instead of easily handing me the food through the drive up window. Terrible customer service. The food was not memorable either. I had onion rings (there were 5-6 total), their smoke wings. Good flavor, a little crispier than I would like. Very disappointing visit, not sensitive to handicapped people at all. read more

Absolutely loved the food and atmosphere.We have never stopped in till now and we will definitely be back. read more

This place is never crowded but the food is great! I love the fried pickles and the chicken Philly!

This was the best food I had during my four day five nights stay in Pigeon Forge. We GrubHub the food back to our condo because we were tired. All the food was scrumptious. I got the ribs, dry rub, and the brisket with barbecue sauce on the side. BBQ baked beans and corn. read more

Alisha was an amazing waitress and answered all our questions and checked on us frequently. The food was yummy . We enjoyed the muddy ribs and brisket along with the brisket sandwich. The ambiance is friendly with instruments on the walls and pictures of Elvis. read more

15 min after the opening.. brisket would not be ready for a while... out of salad the truck hasn't ran.... Got a great idea don't open unless your advertised food is ready... we are here to eat not listen to excuses... one and done... should have spent my money elsewhere read more

My family was excited to eat at this location and was very unimpressed with the food. My husband and son said the burger was okay, but have no interest in going back. The buffalo sauce for the wings is disgusting and I would stay away from that. Mac and cheese has a chalky taste to it. Very over priced for the quality of food. Service was nice. Atmosphere was nice. We will not be back. read more

Great food, great service. We first ate here more than 20 years ago and are always glad to see it is still as good as the food was the first time we ate here. We had the half rack of ribs, muddy .. this is a mix of dry and wet rub and perfect mix of the two. And we had the smoked sausage, a nice mild sausage with a sweet bbq sauce over it. Both were served with baked beans and coleslaw. We also had an order of Jalapeno hush puppies and fried okra. Both are a definite yes!! Very good, just enough crisp to them both. Service was great as always. read more

Overpriced, bland, small portions. I wish I had looked at Yelp before setting foot in here. But, I remembered going to Corkys in Nashville and liking it. Not so here. Really disliked my pulled chicken barbecue. My child's kids meal had more meat! And I'm not a big guy and don't eat a lot. Save your $. Go elsewhere. read more

If you've had real Texas bbq, you'll need it skip this place. They have a big beautiful building and nice staff but the food was just ok... although the Turkey had a nice flavor, it was extremely dry. The pulled pork was ok as was the brisket. My daughter thought the ribs didn't have enough sauce! I did like the jalapeño hush puppies! I am rating it a 3 but in all honesty it's more of a 2.5! Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere!! read more

We went about 5:00pm just before dinner and we're able to sit down right away! Our waiter was nice and patient with us as the kids were very indecisive and couldn't focus on what they wanted to eat. He gave suggestions for us. Food came quickly even as it started to fill up. There were no kids menues to color but they did have a kids menue to order off of. Sides are a bit pricy if you want to add things and some sides are small portions. The corn on the cob was a quarter side piece whereas the backed beans were in one of their side dishes and were excellent! The corn was over cooked and soft and bright bright yellow. The cole slaw was very good! My kids liked there food, the Mac n cheese was white and eveyone liked it but the 3 year old... The place isn't too loud and has some music playing in the backgound. They offer a neat take out option that seemed like a good price. Lots of take out orders when we were coming in. Over all I was happy we went to this place over other places with the family. read more

Corky's Ribs & BBQ - Pulled Pork DN Cole Slaw Corn on the Cob - Barbeque Near Me - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

Very very disappointed...we ordered almost 50% of the menu and it was all a 0/10. Brisket was tough which is supposed to be very soft. Chicken wings were bad bad. Brisket burger yuck. Baked potato, was on the premium sides section and it was probably baked yesterday. Mac and cheese was not editable. Do yourself a favor and skip this place. (I do want to say they took the brisket meals off the check because I'm sure they knew it was BAD.) read more

We were seated immediately. There were three other parties in the restaurant. The server came quickly with our drinks and took our order. She seemed very nice. She brought the food out in a few minutes. The food looked delicious. The ribs we had heard so much about were not what we expected. There was more fat than meat and had little taste even with pouring barbecue sauce on them. The sides were just ok. Our server did not come back to check on us during the entire meal. She only came back to give us the check. Disappointed- my first and last time to visit this restaurant. read more

We ordered from here this evening. Our delivery was super quick and the food tasted great. I had the chicken fingers and onion rings and fries. All tasted good. My husband had the ribs with green beans .... he said it tasted great. I have to say I recommend this place. Pictures below. read more

Great food. Great service. Sat down quick and server was on it the entire time. Go early to get brisket!

Writing this review from a catering experience. I have not been to the restaurant. My friend had a destination wedding in Gatlinburg and chose Corky's for catering. They did an excellent job. Everything was delivered to the venue on time and set up professionally and properly. I love good BBQ and let me tell you this BBQ was goooood. The pork, brisket, and ribs were all flavorful, smoky, and perfectly cooked. The real gem of the sides were the mac + cheese. Best mac I've had in a long time. We may or may not have been eating straight out of the giant serving tray toward the end of the night. That ranch was next level good. Highly recommend! read more

Came on a Thursday around 12pm, no wait, the place was dead! Score! The pulled pork sandwich was good, I enjoyed it. It was pretty good for a chain. I had a side of French fries and the Mac and cheese. It was great! French fries were hot and fresh, salty. The Mac and cheese was very creamy. My 2 kids each got an order of the chicken tenders and French fries, it was SO much food, they probably could have split one! My husband enjoyed his brisket and his baked beans. For 4 meals with drinks it was $80, which seemed a little high. Would probably return if I was in the area and knew that we should have the kids split a meal and lower the price! read more

My friend and I decided instead of going somewhere we've been we would try this unique sounding type of restaurant. Figured we could get some decent food. When we arrived there was no host/hostess. The person that finally ended up seating us was our waitress. She was phenomenal for what she was working with. For an appetizer we got the cheese bites. The sauce was good but some of the fries cheese bites were actually cold inside. I assume they're just frozen and tossed in the fryer and some of them just didn't get hot at all. I ordered the wings with Buffalo sauce. While the sauce was good, the wings were awful. The wings were fatty, not crispy at all, and lukewarm at best. I ended up only eating a couple because they were honestly just nasty. The only reason I gave this place anything but a 1 star is the young girl with short hair was on top of everything. She seemed to be the only waitress working and hostess. She did really well for taking care of all the tables. Kept our drinks filled, was very sweet, and just think she did great. read more

After seeing such good reviews online i thought i would try this, but it was rather disappointing. The food was certainly not authentic BBQ from this area, many otger places have better. It was very out of the box kinda food. Taste was good but certainly something i could make at home or buy in the store. Colelsaw was store bought in a container, sausage looked like ring bologna. On the other note the staff was friendly and service was quick. read more

I felt it was overpriced on some of the menu like sides. The food was overall bland. $4 for a side of canned beans?. Ribs lacked flavor. Bar had no variety. The service was slow and barely adequate. I felt like it was a gotcha game for new customers with no real hope on securing returning customers. read more

This place has excellent ribs! Their Mac n cheese bbq pulled pork is also a 10/10 !! The service was awesome and also as soon as we came in got seated!! Even with 7 people we expected a little bit of wait but no they got everything set up for us in under 5 mins! Also, our food was brought out in a very timely manner! Definitely will be eating here again! read more

The food here was amazing ! 10 out of 10. The fasts BBQ place and the food was fresh and HOT!! The service was great. Our server brought us extra things without us asking. also togo drinks. We had the brisket and pork! We will back in no time. read more

Very tasty and the serving sizes are HUGE. Everyone was very friendly, our server was super nice. The food came out super quick.

Staying for the week we needed to check out a bbq place before we head back to NY. We walk in around 12. And the place is absolutely dead. The smell of the place was amazing like a true bbq place should. Kids ordered the chicken tenders off the adult menu and they were gigantic. Enough to split amongst the three of them. Wife got the pulled pork sandwich in Texas toast. And I got the beef brisket meal. The food was pretty good no complaints there but I don't like $80 was reasonable. My brisket was $18 and it came with baked beans and coleslaw. Prolly won't be back there's a ton more bbq places to check out first. read more

Just ok.. I have eaten barbecue all over this country. The pluses. Helpings are decent. The potato salad was good. Service was friendly. The negatives. Sauce seemed like a mix of vinegar and tomato based. Closer to ketchup then bbq sauce. The spicy sauce really wasn't spicy. The dry rub they put on the ribs had an almost foul aroma and taste to it initially. I was craving bbq so we stopped here. Probably wouldn't try again but hey we were on vacation and it was worth a shot. read more

We got there for dinner. Was seated right away. Got our tea and food ordered. Was not a long wait before it all came. Son got a pulled smoked chicken sandwich and husband and I got smoked turkey and sides. It was all tasty, except turkey did not take smoked at all and texture was almost like pressed meat instead of fresh turkey breast meat. I will eat there again but will get a different kind of meat. Def recommend! read more
