    I think my smile tells the story

    What a wonderful surprise this place was. We turned around /thought our map was wrong when we pulled into a gas station parking lot.... But then smelled the burgers and are so glad we found it!!!! These burgers were sooooo good, staff over the top friendly / helpful, and was just a great interesting experience. I hope to return!!!

    If you like good burgers and are in Sevier Co get ready for Meek's new permanent Location. They are in the Marathon gas station across from the big Walmart. Daniel and his Son are cranking out delicious and affordable gormet double smashburgers. They have several triple smashes too that add balance in an otherwise healthy week. I have tried the Oklahoma, Big Boy Bacon and A1 Smokehouse. Truly, this burger is so good, it doesn't even need fries. They do call ahead orders and this is a two man show so it gets busy, They have a few seats to sit and eat. Great people cranking out some outstanding burger smashes. Get in here and see what the fuss is about. Oh and get your girlfriend the fries.

    The owner is very personable. The business started in a food truck and then took over a historical buger spot. I personally think they are doing the spot justice. This is NOT your quick burger pick up: this man is portioning, cooking, and setting up the burgers TO ORDER. making what you get hot and delicious. Made with the love of a man who really seems to enjoy feeding his community and its visitors. The grill holds liike 16 patties and all the burgers are at minimum 2 patties so you do the math on how many he can cook at one time. The grilled potato salad is loaded with red potatoes, cheese, bacon, and chives then pressed in the grill. The burgers are smash burgers and have a beautiful crunch all around the outside. The bun is heated on the grill then given to his son who takes the care of a master artist putting all the ingredients for what his patron has ordered. The burgers were juicy and the patties have FLAVOR! I suggest bringing your patience as they get busy but all worth it in the end. Fries are cooked to order. Don't eat beef no worries they have chicken burgers too. So get over yourself and get a delicious burger from the gas station.

    Double smash burger with whole sliced onions as a bun replacement and cold potato salad

    Amazing food I love the hot potato salad but think the cold potato salad is weird since it's just sour cream based. The burgers are always flavorful and good I got mine with whole sliced onions as my bun and it was fabulous!!! They don't offer it on the menu but I would highly recommend they start doing onion and lettuce for bun replacements for people who don't eat gluten and such. Wait time is LONG they're super busy and crammed into a little marathon they definitely need their own restaurant to keep up with the business they get. We waited an hour for 2 burgers we called in and it was a 30 minute wait time. So definitely something to take into consideration. But for the price and quality of food it was well worth the wait if you have time. I'm a local in the area and would love to go here more often but right now TikTok is blowing them up! Hopefully they get a better place soon, they deserve all the hype!

    Words honestly don't do it justice. This place deserves to be highlighted, underscored, and shouted from the rooftops. The best smash burger on the planet. Quality ingredients, amazing people, and everything you love about a true local small business. Take a bow, Meeks Kitchen!

    This is a hidden gem! If you've been searching for the ultimate smash burger, then THIS is the place! This is our go-to place when craving a burger. Burgers are flavorful and well cooked, seasoned fries are delicious, locally made cheesecakes are decadent, and the owner and his family are a pleasure to speak with. Don't forget to add an egg to any burger! And don't let this location or the prices fool you...these are gourmet burgers! Fill up your gas tank and your belly at one stop. It will be your go-to spot for burgers and you'll be looking forward to your next visit before you've left the parking lot. We can't recommend Meeks enough!

    This food truck was parked at hubby's work, in Newport TN. Since most the areas restaurants are closed due to Helena's damage, this was a godsend for the area. This is on their facebook, page. Farm raised grass fed beef! Gourmet burgers, artfully crafted and have an upscale vibe. We are family owned and operated., creating our rig from the ground floor up. We take pride in great food from high quality ingredients. Hubby got the Black & Blue. With blackened seasoning, crumbled blue cheese, 57 sauce, crispy onions, chipotle aioli,spring mix, tomatoes. And it comes with seasoned crinkle seasoned fries. He said it was delicious, juicy, tastefully done.

    Always excellent food, when you go be prepared, they stay busy but get the food to you pretty quick. It is in a gas station so there is limited seating. It's fun to watch the owner and his kids work the grill! Great place and you have to try the loaded grilled potato salad if it's not sold out when you go!! The big boy gourmet burger is excellent but I've tried most of them and everything excellent!! For desert get the homemade cheese cake from La Creme

    The Outlaw and grilled loaded potato salad

    Amazing burgers! Heard about this place from a friend and it does not disappoint. Love the grilled loaded potato salad too! Everything is hot and fresh. Owner/workers are all super polite and do a great job. I love supporting this local business. They need a standalone store. They would do very well!

    A1 Steakhouse
    Chloe M.

    Great fresh smashburgers. Was not a fan of my burger (A1 Steakhouse) because there wasn't enough aioli and the lettuce/tomato really dominated the flavor. My husband had the Oklahoma and it was great! Overall good burgers and the bacon is super thick cut.

    We had heard about their burgers on Facebook. We stopped by while enjoying our vacation. We got a couple of burgers and they were very good and high quality. Definitely will be back when we're back in Pigeon Forge.

    BBQ Steer Burger with Hot Potato Salad

    I seen this place thanks to a YouTuber I watch and wanted to try it. We were definitely glad we did. The young man at the counter was so polite, friendly, helpful and overall a nice kid. The loved the burgers plus the Cajun fries and hot potato salad. We came back the next day and the food was on point again. Customer service is great from everyone and food was so good. We end up going on the last two days we were in town or might have went everyday. Prices are very affordable and worth every penny(well I guess nickel now). We come every year and now this will be a must.

    We went on a Saturday early evening and although the place was almost empty, we got asked if we had…read morea reservation.... Umm I don't think we needed one. No wonder they are closing but we are still sad about that. We waited for about 7 minutes for someone to approach our table! When she did, she immediately apologized took our drink order and told us to pick an appetizer on the house! Now that's how you handle that situation! And the reason for the 4 star review. We actually got the pepperoni flatbread pizza for our appetizer and I am so happy we did because it was so yummy! I was pleasantly surprised honestly! Both of us got Burgers with fries and tots which were really good too! The waitress really made our visit special after a bad start to our dinner! Hopefully we will be able to get back before they close for good! As huge music fans we enjoy the music and decorations throughout the restaurant! Come on! They have The Rev's drum kit in there!!!! We're going to miss you guys!

    This place is so complicated for me; I see it both as from when I was a child going before a night…read moreat the Comedy Barn, and as my more recent experiences as a fully grown adult! As a child, it was a bit more well kept and almost majestic, but I could tell this most recent visit that the building interior and exterior could use some work. Otherwise, the live entertainment was incredible and food was exactly what I expected, and that's exactly what I needed for my nostalgia trip up to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Service was a bit spread thin and upon entering the restaurant there were no hosts to let us know where to go or wait for them; very strange entrance way. We started walking to the right of the host stand, met immediately by a gentleman running up. Servers were also stretched thin, but much friendlier! We're frequent Smoky Mountain visitors, and may be back but with all of the local and less corporatized options you reading and I have to enjoy in this glorious town and region, I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't return until we have kids. Cheers friends

    I was a solitary diner on my birthday and had a hankering for German food. There aren't many…read moreGerman restaurants in my home state so I was surprised that I could find one in Pigeon Forge. I ordered the traditional schnitzel (pork cutlet that was pounded thin). It was not breaded, but it was coated with egg and flour and prepared well. I had the German potato salad and red cabbage side orders. Both were served warm as is custom. I was a bit upset that the waiter gave me the bill when the meal was finished. I told him it was my birthday and that I had wanted coffee and cake. He took the bill and crumpled it in his hand. The portion of cake that he presented could have easily served three! I left the top frosting. The chocolate cake was moist and the frosting between the layers was German chocolate. Available seating offerings were a booth, table, or a table al fresco. It had the beer garden appeal. I opted to sit inside. The restaurant is also very family oriented (as are most things in Pigeon Forge). Prices were reasonable, food was served at the correct temperature, portions were prodigious. The venue was also immaculate. I would recommend this tavern to anyone who appreciates German fare.

    Dont go after 7pm, as they are not interested in really serving you as they close at 9 and it comes…read moreacross clearly in their attitude. Food on chalk board by door [pork shank] was not avail. Smoked drink also not available, and other things as well... spaetzle with cheese sauce was not good, mushy... wish was just with butter. At 8pm Waitress presented bill while we were finishing main course without asking if we wanted dessert and left quick. When I had to flag her down and mentioned we wanted dessert like apple studel waitress, she spun and walked to kitchen but didn't ask if wanted anything else, dropped off updated bill with 1 strudel on it before dessert landed then never saw that waitress again... eventually bar tender came over to take our credit card. Cant recommend.
