Our server, Arianna was great and kept us topped off on drinks and made some great food suggestions. If you go, try the loaded bbq potato skins! read more

I've been coming to Gatlinburg since childhood and I don't think I've ever experienced service this bad. I gave it two stars because the food was decent. The meat wasn't the best bbq that I've had but it certainly was not among the worst. The wait time for the food was horribly long. We were sat at our table fairly quickly and the restaurant seemed to be bustling with people but the servers were moving quickly so we didn't think much of it. However, we should've known that the experience was doomed from the start. As soon as our server asked about drinks, it started. I asked for a strawberry lemonade, she said "no, you can't have that." I laughed thinking she was joking, she stared at me. I waited for a follow up statement, none came. After asking follow up questions, she told me they didn't have any lemonade. Moving down the table she finished taking the orders. When she came back with the drinks half of them were wrong. She also brought a coke for someone who ordered a sprite because they were out. The person told her she didn't want the coke, she proceeded to offer her lemonade...which prompted me to inquire about how they suddenly acquired lemonade they were out of 10 mins ago. After much confusion, we decided to just order. When the food arrived...the orders were wrong. Sides were switched, sauces weren't labeled, special instructions skipped. It took over 40 mins to get everything corrected. When the checks came...you guessed it, they were also wrong! The whole ordeal left us all frustrated and ready to go home. This is also a restaurant that will nickel and dime you. They charge extra for bbq sauce and butter. I would absolutely not recommend going here. read more

My wife and I stopped in for the first time on Monday night, December 8, 2025. We're big fans of barbecue, and this place did not disappoint. The menu offered an excellent selection, and we decided to split a three-meat platter with brisket, pulled chicken, and smoked wings. We chose baked beans and potato salad as our sides, and everything was absolutely delicious and well prepared. Our server was friendly and attentive, providing prompt service throughout the meal. The decor complemented the classic barbecue-joint vibe. We plan to make Gatlinburg a regular stop on our way to Knoxville in the coming years, and this will definitely be a place we return to for lunch or dinner. read more

The food was not as good as I was expecting. I had the brisket and the pulled pork and it didn't really have a lot of flavor. The Mac n cheese was ok. The corn was good. I was not impressed with the Baked beans. The location is great, music was good, service was good. I think it's weird they only give you a small cup of sauce instead of the bottles on the table if you want the sauces other than the hickory. And they charged us for the sauce. read more

Myron Mixon - Banana Pudding - Barbeque Near Me - Gatlinburg, Tennessee

This is located almost directly across the road from the chair lift, Gatlinburg Sky Park, so it's a busy section of town. It's upstairs, so enter from the street and immediately go up the stairs. We went for a late lunch/early dinner, so the crowd was thin (just the way we like it). Soon as we were seated in our booth, a girl asked if she could take our picture. We were both so stunned, we just kinda said "ok", but I was wondering "why is this person taking our picture?" It got worse - she asked us to do different poses and kiss each other on the cheek. From a socially anxious perspective, I was sweating by this point. Later she returned with copies of our pictures, offering to sell them for 2 for $25. We bought them because "vacation" but I was so not prepared to have my picture made! Things looked up after the initial awkwardness. We both did the 2 meats + 2 sides: brisket and smoked turkey and our sides were fried okra, baked potato, Mac n cheese, and fries. SO. GOOD. And the Hickory Smoked BBQ sauce on the table was excellent. Everything was so good, I texted a friend to recommend it before we even left. I think this place has been added to our growing "must haves" when visiting Gatlinburg. read more

Myron Nixon is a must-visit when you're in Gatlinburg! The food, the atmosphere, and the people-watching make it an unforgettable stop on the strip. Their outdoor seating is the perfect spot to kick back, enjoy the mountain air, and take in the sights of everyone strolling by -- it's pure Gatlinburg charm. If you can't decide what to order (because everything sounds amazing), go for the sampler platter. It's the best way to taste a little bit of everything -- perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and generous portions that hit the spot every time. Between the laid-back vibe, great service, and mouthwatering food, Myron Nixon delivers the full Smoky Mountain experience. Grab a seat outside, order that sampler platter, and enjoy one of the best meals in town! read more

We had such a good lunch on our first day that we came back on our last day in Pigeon Forge and enjoyed this joint again! Gatlinburg is a short drive south from Pigeon Forge. My wife enjoyed the pulled chicken sandwich with peach bbq beans and slaw. I had the pulled pork sandwich with fries and peach bbq beans. All was amazing. The place shouts southern hospitality and has a great ambiance. Our server was Dena and we asked for her on our 2nd trip as well. Can't give her enough kudos. She was engaging and efficient. Gotta give this place a try. You won't be sorry. Tell Dena hi from us!!! read more

We were here on a very busy weekend a couple weeks ago! It was so nice outside and we wanted to try Myron's! It did NOT disappoint! We chose to sit outside on the upstairs patio! Our waiter came, took our drinks after a few minutes while we looked at the shareables! We chose the Southern Spread which is Pimento Cheese with pepper jelly, jalapeño sausage slices, pickled vegetables and ritz crackers! Omg sooo good! For our entree's I got the Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf with Loaded potato salad & creamy coleslaw. The meatloaf is the best I've ever had in my entire life honestly! My boyfriend got 3 Meat and 2 sides meal which was Jalapeño sausage, Bologna and pulled pork with baked sweet potato and cheese grits!!! It is a little extra but it is definitely worth it! read more

Went for lunch. Food was really good. Drinks a little pricey. Server was very polite and did a great job

The food was just okay. Burgers were good but the sides were not - cold fries, cold and hard Texas toast and cold baked potatoes. We felt like they had been sitting there for a long time and just added to our plates after burgers were cooked. Not impressed and would not recommend. read more

As we wondered around the Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg area, we found the perfect time to stop in. It was a late lunch-early dinner situation where there weren't many people in the restaurant which was great we thought! It was very clean inside and the workers were all busy with various tasks. They were all very kind in welcoming us in and letting us take our time reading the menu. There was a girl on the street at the door handing out coupons which had a coupon for us to get a free Tumbleweed Onion. That was super cool! My husband has been really into smoking meat lately, so this was definitely on his list of things to try! We both ended up with hefty trays of meats and sides. I enjoyed the mac and cheese and pulled pork. The bbq peach baked beans are definitely interesting with the peaches in them, but they were good. The meats were all pretty good. We had a good time and enjoyed everything we tried. We will definitely be back and hopefully will see Myron next time. We heard he's in quite a bit! read more

My wife and I were in Pigeon Forge on business and I found out that Myron Mixon opened this new restaurant 15 minutes down the road from our hotel in Gatlinburg. I've watched Myron on TV and read his books for years, so we had to go. When we got there, we had to walk up a flight of stairs to actually get into the restaurant. Be aware, it's a long staircase to get up there, and there is no elevator. The restaurant itself is very nice. All wood decor and they had some nice country music playing. It's a very nice atmosphere. Our waitress Aylin was great. Very attentive. We ordered the 3 meat Pit Masters Platter. You have your choice of a quarter chicken, chicken wings, jalapeño cheddar sausage, pulled pork, or smoked beef aka bologna. This platter is $27 and comes with two sides. Now here's the catch. For a $3 upcharge you can get brisket, or baby back ribs. For a $9 upcharge, you can get a beef rib. Now of course I wanted the brisket and the beef rib and my wife wanted the baby backs. The sides we got was the bbq peach baked beans and the roasted sweet potato. First, the brisket was amazing! I got a mix of lean and moist brisket. The lean brisket are the slices that come from the flat. The moist comes from the point. This has more fat which makes it more moist. Both selections were awesome. Great smokey flavor with a nice bark. My wife had the ribs. They were very tender and again, these had a nice smokey flavor with a light coating of a very flavorful bbq sauce. The beef rib looked absolutely amazing. It had a great bark and was very tender. For my first bite, I took my fork and got some meat and a nice chunk of the bark. As soon as I took a bite, I spit it out. That perfect looking bark was nothing but salt. I'm sorry but it was horrible. It was like the salt was concentrated. On to my second bite. I scraped off the bark and took a nice chunk of meat and this time I just took a small piece of the bark. Now the beef rib was amazing! The perfectly tender meat with just that little bit of bark was great. Perfect smokey taste. Just beware of all that salt. Now for the sides. I see a lot of the reviews talk bad about the beans. "They are too sweet " etc. People, it's right in the name of the beans. BBQ PEACH BAKED BEANS. There are peaches in the beans. These are not the typical beans in tomato sauce and covered in brown sugar and molasses. Myron Mixon is from Georgia, The Peach State. Have an open mind. These beans are actually really good. Give them a try. The roasted sweet potato comes with a cinnamon butter and a maple glaze. My wife doesn't like the taste of maple so we had the maple glaze put on the side. Good thing. The sweet potato with the cinnamon butter was very good. I tried the maple glaze on it and it just didn't go together. The glaze is more like a glaze you would put on a donut. It's good, just not on the sweet potato. I had more to say but yelp said my review was too long and wouldn't post it. All in all, Myron Mixon Barbecue Company is pretty awesome! With a couple minor adjustments I made to my own plate, it was really great. We will definitely be back our next trip to Pigeon Forge. read more

I'm honestly shocked Myron lets his name be associated with this cold garbage. The brisket was cold and dry the fries were cold and disgusting. The only thing that was worth a damn were the pickles and the okra. Everything was absolute GARBAGE. So disappointed. read more

This place is great. There's always a little bit of hesitation for a celebrity endorsed restaurant but I have traveled far and wide and search for great BBQ places and this place is a winner.

View was great. Service was okay. Food was okay. Overall 3/5. The food unfortunately was really cold. The rubs would have been great if they were warm. All of our Mac & Cheese sides were cold as was potatoes. Was looking forward to cornbread as seen in past pictures but it's apparently not on the menu anymore. Didn't get refills and bill was over $100 for two adults and a child which was steep for what we received. read more

Great bbq. I used to go to the location in Alexandria VA until it sadly closed. I was afraid I'd never have MM BBQ again. Was pleasantly surprised to find this new location in Gatlinburg. The menu is a little different than the Alexandria location. Sadly, greens are not on offer. However, everything we had was great. My two sons and I got the family meal for 3-6 people. Needless to say, we took a bunch home. Tremendous amount of food. The brisket and pulled pork were excellent as were the ribs. I didn't try the chicken, but it looked moist and my sons enjoyed it. The service was very friendly and it was pleasant sitting on the balcony. The restaurant looked to have a generous amount of seating. Would go back. read more

This place is right smack in the middle of the strip. We got the brisket and the chicken with mac n cheese, bbq peach beans and some greens. The meat tasted good, a little dry but still had some good flavor to it. I wish the portions were slightly bigger but it was good enough. The sides were great too! Definitely worth trying if you are in the area. read more

Hit the spot!!! We came down from the nearby tram/ view and this was located right across the street. Great location. We got a family meal with 4 different meats that were all great. Even took home. Bottle of one of the sauces it was so good. Also don't sleep on the wings i think we reordered those a few times as well. Great service and would def go back again. read more

Myron Mixon - Family feast with chicken wings, brisket, pulled pork, and and ribs! - Barbeque Near Me - Gatlinburg, Tennessee

Food was sub par for price! The best item was the baked beans with peaches ( which isn't hard to make in your own kitchen). The chicken wings - so small you didn't even get a good bite out of them. All the meats were "just ok" , I was expecting so much more considering this was "world renowned" Myron Mixon and his meats are supposed to be spectacular . I went to another place while visiting and it was 100 times better than MM. Sadly MM is very commercialized , if you are going to try to get a peek of MM ( maybe he will be their) or just to say you have been , plan on taking at least $100+ for two( this does NOT include alcohol) . Personally my opinion , you're paying for the name /location and not top of the line food. read more

From start to finish, this was an amazing meal. Service was attentive and friendly. The food and hospitality of Myron Mixon were the stars of lunch. We ordered enough food knowing we would be taking some home for dinner. We started with the smoked wings and hot honey sauce. Perfection! Brined overnight for juiciness and prepared crispy with a dusting of seasoning to be one of the best wings we ever had. Ordered the two meat Pit Master Platter with 2 sides while my husband doing keto had 3 meats off the Extra section on the menu. Smoked brisket was perfection- not dry. The pork Baby back ribs were amazing- great flavor with just the right tug. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was the right amount of smoke and heat. And wow- the bone-in beef short rib was very tender and flavorful- seasoned perfectly. You know you a BBQ restaurant is great when the sides are just as good as the meat. This is the case for Myron Mixon BBQ Co. The creamy coleslaw is likely the best I have ever had. The BBQ peach baked beans were unique and delicious. Even the pickled veggies served with the wings were delicious. Attention to detail on everything. 10 out of 10 on EVERYTHING we ate! And now onto Myron- we were fortunate to dine when he was in the restaurant. Wear a gracious host! So friendly and approachable. He was going up to tables checking in with diners and graciously signing items from his Provisions Shop- cookbooks etc. Highly recommend this restaurant! Now ranked as one of the top in Gatlinburg in our opinion. read more

Myron Mixon - Chicken wings were great. - Barbeque Near Me - Gatlinburg, Tennessee

This place was absolutely phenomenal. We met Myron himself & he was very friendly and nice. Prices are a bit steep but typical for bbq. Worth the price for sure. BBQ sauce was amazing, and the pie was to die for. It was the best food we've had in a minute. Definitely recommend! (Get the brisket.) Only downside is our waitress was not very good, she took it upon herself to give herself the highest tip possible without asking us, and wouldn't even let us hold the device to finish paying with our card, instead she got almost $25 tip WHICH we did NOT know about. We were very unhappy with this, she was not friendly at all. She also took it upon herself to question my fiancé and not give the card back to him(it was my copy of the card with my name on it.). Other than the waitress, food & environment is great. read more
