    Pot Roast Sub
    Lovely M.

    Tucked in the corner side of The Shops Of Pigeon Forge, is this family owned deli with homemade sandwiches and bread. This is a hidden gem. Cozy and a good small sized area for a quick bite! All the staffs are very welcoming and thoughtful. We ordered their infamous Reuben and Pot Roast sandwiches as well as their Italian Beef, Cheesesteak and Roast Beef sandwiches. All of them are flavorful and delicious. They recommend getting the half sized sandwiches since they are pretty big. Don't forget to try their parmesan garlic pretzels - so yummy! Definitely a place to remember if ever we come back in this side of TN.

    Great place to get a delicious sandwich and share a pretzel! this is tucked back in the midst of tourist attractions, but it's an attraction in itself! We had an Italian sandwich and giant pretzel and it was excellent! Will definitely return next visit!

    Hayden and The Italian Sub

    These are the best sandwiches you'll have here in Pigeon Forge! The Hayden and the Italian sandwiches are truly out of this world! The pretzel was also awesome! The staff is so kind and smiling and the food was very quick. I just wish we lived close to this place!

    The food here is wonderful! The roast beef sub is amazing!!! But you cannot leave without getting a pretzel! The shop is very small inside but you might get to sit outside if it's nice! They are pretty quick with getting orders ready!

    We stopped in after a local had recommended this. We love eating local. Let me tell you, this was THE BEST I've EVER had. Our whole trip, this was the most delicious, flavorful sandwhich. DONT even get me started about the pretzel. MY GOODNESS. crispy and so soft. My mouth is watering thinking about it! The staff was SO kind and happy. We loved the whole experience. And we will be back, and telling everyone we know about this place!

    Restaurant is clean with minimal indoor seating but seating is available outside also. The sandwiches here are great! The service could have been a little bit more friendly. I would recommend this to someone in the area looking for a good deli sandwich

    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.

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.

Parking is plentiful and very close to entrance of the restaurant 7. Clean restrooms/ and restaurant 8. You will get full and the appetizers/desserts were not skimpy at all this place will fill you. Matter of fact my family really enjoyed the apps and desserts surprisingly. Cons 1 only one con - the pizza has normal flavor combinations. I did not experience a wow flavored pizza at Pizza Rio but I was not disappointed about coming either. This place is not something my family would visit repeatedly because the price to me doesn't match the experience. Please however experience it once because all the things you wished Cicis pizza offered to make the day feel grand out with your family this place definitely gives you without fail!!!!

He enjoyed it and said it's one of the better ones he's had! We both ordered smash burgers and sweet potato fries - I had the junction 35 (pimento cheese + bacon jam) and he had the farmhouse (bacon + fried egg). Both were amazing! Juicy burgers, perfect size patties for smash burgers, the buns were fresh and held up nicely, and the toppings were great. Sweet potato fries had a great crunch and were seasoned really well. Service was great, food was high quality and had great flavor, and the dog friendly patio was perfect for our pup. It's located in a nice little strip of shops and restaurants, and has a common area of cornhole and other games that would be fun for an activity before/after dinner, or if you have kids in tow. We'd definitely make another trip here when in the area.

After joining the waitlist online before driving to the restaurant, we were seated immediately upon arrival at a high top in the bar area. I enjoyed the chill vibe. Our server was attentive, friendly, and helpful. I ordered the Hawaiian Ribeye. Our server said it was his favorite thing on the menu and I could see why. The steak was cooked perfectly. It was marinated in pineapple ginger sauce and then basted with teriyaki. It was absolutely juicy and delicious. I highly recommend this steak, which rivals the steaks at any of those over-priced steakhouses. The steak came with a salad and I chose the house lemon dressing. I continue to dream about this creamy, slightly salty dressing. They should definitely bottle it and sell it!

For once in Pigeon Forge, I have ate something that actually tasted distinguishable. If you blind-folded me and had me take a bite out of different burgers from different burger joints, I could guess this one with no hesitation. However, one notable throw-off i had was that the burger had a weird aftertaste of tuna. I ordered the smash burger and it had the perfect amount of grease that doesn't drench you, but keeps up with freshness and taste. And the reason I wanted to write this review was for the french fries. Tired of soggy fries? This place puts the FRY in french fries. They maintained a delicious level of crunch and crisp (if that's your gusto) and didn't have that same refrigerator taste. I also ordered cheese curds and they had the most amazing cheese pull and tasted great! The service was excellent too, unlike some servers, they don't abandon you and they keep up with you and refills / clearing the table. If there's anything I appreciate more, it's waiters and waitresses that (even if they don't) act like they cherish their job! And if you yearn for a setting that makes you in the mood for adventure.. or a bear lover.. this place has attracting visuals so you aren't trapped in a minimalist setting. Overall, if you're up for trying new flavors and advancing your taste buds' vocabulary, I recommend The Fat Bear Family Tavern!
