Food is an important aspect of a vacation because it gives you energy. You need energy when you visit Pigeon Forge to explore the museums, play a round of mini golf, and even relax in the hot tub all day. Additionally, if you are traveling with your loved ones, food can help bring people together. After a fun day of vacation, there will be a lot of laughs when everyone sits down to a meal. People will talk about their favorite memories from the trip so far and reminisce about good times. Now that you know how important food is on vacation, here are 3 Pigeon Forge restaurants that you will love:
1. Local Goat
Local Goat was established in 2016 and is among the great Pigeon Forge restaurants because everything is made from scratch using locally sourced and sustainable foods. Order delicious foods such as Hawaiian Ribeye and Bison Meatloaf. While you’re eating, make sure to look around the dining room at the beautiful artwork on the walls created by local artists. If you choose to sit outside, you will get a gorgeous view of Mount LeConte, the third-highest peak in the Great Smoky Mountains. Before you leave, give your meal a grand finale with a delicious dessert such as the Crème Brûlèe with Seasonal Berries. The combination of delicious food and an exciting atmosphere will make you want to come back again.
2. Old Mill Pottery House Cafe
The history of The Old Mill Pottery House Cafe lies in its name. In 1954, Douglas Ferguson and his wife founded Pigeon Forge Pottery out of what used to be a tobacco barn. Later, the couple built the home that would become Pottery House Cafe and sold pottery until 1999. Today, you are unable to purchase pottery. Still, you can have delicious meals, such as spicy catfish, served to you on beautiful plates made by Old Mill potters. Along with great food, the restaurant also does a good job of preserving its rich history. In the winter, you can warm up by the fire of the dining room’s original stone fireplace.
3. Alamo Steakhouse
Why is the Alamo Steakhouse in Pigeon Forge named after a monument in Texas? Well, first it honors Davy Crockett, an iconic Tennessee figure who lost his life at the Alamo. Additionally, it also pays tribute to the 2,000 volunteers from Tennessee who fought in the Mexican-American War. It is no surprise why Tennessee is referred to as “The Volunteer State.” Besides having a rich historical background, the restaurant is one of the best steakhouses in Pigeon Forge and serves amazing food! Some of their delicious main courses include the Chili Rubbed Pork Chops Dinner and the Stuffed Shrimp! Make sure to save room for dessert though because you’ll want to try the Chocolate Burrito, one of their house specialities!
