By the time you reach the center of Pigeon Forge, you’re within 15 minutes driving distance to over 100 restaurants for just about every range and budget a prospective visitor (or local) could ever want. By the time you get to downtown Gatlinburg, you’re within 15 minutes walking distance of 60 of those restaurants at least. When the whole of Sevier County or the Tennessee Smokies is considered, you would need to live here for several years before you could hope to sample all the culinary offerings our region provides.
To that end, most visitors would find a starting place among all the choices our cities contain somewhat difficult. We have provided this guide to our recommended eateries to help get some starting places in mind. Enjoy!
