Meatlovers
Misty H.

Always an old faithful when we visit the area. Food is always good and hubby enjoys the variety of beers. We got the wings, margarita and meat lovers pizzas, and a cheeseburger. My son didn't want the pimento cheese that came with burger so I asked for it on the side because I love pimento cheese. It was sooo good!

This place never disappoints. It's more of a locals hang out than it is for the tourist. They always have some sort of entertainment going on, this night was SINGO, music bingo. They do have bands on occasion and have some great pizza. The T-Rex is my favorite, messy and tasty and definitely leaves you wanting more although your stuffed. Service was a little lacking this time but I'm not going to count that against them, because this is the only time that I have felt that the bartenders were ignoring the stand-up tables. For not having a whole lot of customers I definitely expected a little bit better service, not asking if we wanted more drinks and just bringing us the bill after we finish eating definitely hit a wrong note in my mind.

Great local brewery in Pigeon Forge. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and it is a nice change of pace from the busy tourist spots on the Parkway. The staff was friendly and took the time to explain the different beers on tap. Everything we tried was fresh and well balanced, and you can tell they care about the quality of what they serve. It is a perfect place to unwind after a long day in the Smokies. We will definitely be back next time we are in town.

This is always a reliable spot for a good meal. My husband enjoys their beers and usually gets a pizza or a burger. Wings are great, peppercorn ranch is tasty and not a run of the mill ranch. Most recently I enjoyed a Caesar with roasted chicken and roasted garlic tomatoes. It was satisfying and light. Service is friendly and usually pretty quick.

Cheeseburger

This is another hidden gem. It is tucked back behind all the chaos which for me makes it even more desirable. The service was good and the vibe was super chill. What I loved about this place is that you can get great food for very reasonable prices. The burgers are huge! More than enough to share and they are delicious.

Ehh - we were visiting the area and it was a late night during the weekday. This was the only place open later so we stopped in an hour before the kitchen closed. Not many people in the resturant but we waited a few before someone sat us. We don't mind the wait but I would think if the kitchen is closing in an hour, someone would want to hurry and seat us. We ordered drinks then food shortly after. The food was ok and the drinks were ok. It wasn't bad but not good. Maybe we came during a bad day and time, which should never be an excuse, but I don't know. I'll say we wouldn't return if in the area. The server was nice, though.

We stopped in for a few beers and to relax. The staff was amazing! Hostess's were very engaging and our waitress was awesome, very attentive and good advice. And the prices were awesome. Food looked great. I've eaten at the one in Maryville many times, and it's always been good. They were just setting up for live music, but we had to leave.

This was one of those meals where we went though pages and pages of choices on Yelp before the group agreed. Some wanted beer, some want cocktails - Some want wings, some want pizza - We all want something not that far away. Yelp to the rescue and we finally settled on Smoky Mountain Brewery. I'm a huge fan of the craft beer scene at home in North Carolina, so perhaps I'm looking at this experience with an unreasonably high standard. But in short, our visit to SMB was just "okay." We were seated quickly, though I found the booths to be fairly small and cramped. Service was slow upfront (but got better over time). Of course I'm going to order a local beer coming here, and I settled on their in-house IPA offering. I was disappointed to see it served in a plastic mug, because I really think a beer needs to be served in glass, and the light feel of thin plastic wasn't right. As the beer itself goes, it was "okay" but forgettable. Our server strongly recommended the daily special which was a BBQ Brisket Pizza, so we ordered that. We also got hot pretzels as an appetizer, and a small order of wings to share. The pretzels were good, came out piping hot with just the right amount of salt, and served with both beer cheese and honey mustard. We ate them happily and quickly. The wings were breaded and tossed in their "Sweet and Spicy Thunder Road Sauce." I'm not personally a fan of breaded wings, because I find they tend to get soggy, and these did. The sauce was decent but I didn't detect any spice at all, and it was just a mildly sweet glaze. The wings were - however - meaty, and they were overall "okay." Finally - the pizza. Overall had a very good flavor, though it was heavy in the onions and BBQ sauce, and light on the brisket. The crust was thin and soft on the bottom and made it a mess to eat. That said, it was a good flavor and our group had no problem finishing it. Not quite what I was hoping for, but it was "okay." Being in a tourist town, the prices are inflated, and this was an expensive meal. Add to that average service, average beer, average food - There is nothing bad here, but just nothing remarkable and memorable either. I was disappointed and hoping for more out of a local brewery.

Another brewery on the books!!! So glad I stopped in here. The inside is so nice and the bar area is very roomy. Plenty of tv's to watch a good game. Their beers were really good. You can tell by the gigantic fancy growler that I took home They also have a full bar for those that aren't into beer. They did have food, but I only had beer and didn't get to catch a photo of the menu. The bartender was super fun, and played along with my wife and her "tiny hands" prank. Very fun place to hang out! Their March was really cool as well, so I ended up with a hoodie and a T-shirt.

Reuben sandwich

The atmosphere was good, I had the wings and they were okay. My wife ordered the Reuben and told me it had too much fat in it. I opened it up and this is what it looked like. I agree that a little fat is except-able but this is overkill. The cook or whoever assembled this had to know that this was not necessary. Give the place a try because I think it's a good place and this one slipped by. I wanted to say something to the waitress but my wife didnt want me to.

I thought Smoky Mountain did a fantastic job with their seasonal brews, particularly their Winter Warmer. Winter Warmer is a double of their Cherokee Red Ale, which also good. All of their beers are worth a try, and you can try a flight of 9 different brews. Their service is fantastic and one of the highlights. Overall great spot for some good beers.

Ordered a flight of beer. No way to tell which is which. Not much of a beer menu. Food is mid at best. Tourist trap.

We visited all three Ole Smoky Moonshine Distillery locations during our trip, and this one at The…read moreIsland in Pigeon Forge was hands down the BEST! The vibe here was unmatched--fun, lively, and just an all-around great atmosphere. What really stood out was the staff. While the deals were consistent across all locations, this was the only one where the team truly took their time with us. They explained everything in detail, made the experience feel personal, and got us excited to continue the scavenger hunt to the other locations. Their energy and enthusiasm made a huge difference and turned a fun stop into a memorable experience. If you're planning to visit multiple locations, start here--you won't regret it!

Coming to Pigeon Forge for the first time, I definitely wanted to try a moonshine tasting. I wasn't…read moresure what to expect, but once we arrived, they explained the two tasting options. We chose the one where you get to try all of their available moonshines for $8 per person, so my mother and I decided to do that. The tasting itself felt very rushed and hard to keep up with. I wish they had taken a little more time to explain the flavors instead of just handing them out quickly and moving on. The employee helping us didn't seem very enthusiastic and gave off the impression that she didn't really want to be there that day. On a positive note, the inside of Ole Smoky Moonshine was very clean. They wiped down the counters after every tasting, which I appreciated. One downside for me was that you couldn't choose which flavors you wanted to sample -- they just served whatever was included in that tasting lineup. I felt that was a disadvantage because I don't want to buy something if I'm not sure I'll like it, and there were a few flavors I was hoping to try that either weren't available or just aren't carried at that location. I did enjoy the deals they had going on, which honestly caused us to buy more than we planned -- but the offers were too good to pass up. We ended up getting the cooler that came with two mini six-packs. I do wish we could've chosen the free sixth flavor ourselves, but I wasn't too upset since I did like the butter pecan. Still, it would've been nice to have more choice. When we went to check out, I still needed to pick three more flavors and asked for recommendations, but the employee didn't give much guidance and just said to get whatever I liked. I understand they were dealing with a very busy time, and she did mention that, but I wish there had been a little more enthusiasm and helpfulness overall. That said, the moonshine itself was good, and the tasting experience was enjoyable enough that I would definitely do it again. It convinced us to purchase moonshine that same day, which was a win. Overall, the experience was decent, but the staff interaction could have been much better.

It took a bit for our server to come acknowledge us but once he did, he was very helpful and attentive. My boyfriend ordered a peach Kentucky mule (they originally said they couldn't make that, which we questioned with it being a distillery, but our server came back and said they could after all). 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.
