The leaves should be awesome.
The Rampant Lion. Middle of nowhere. Irish bar/restaurant. Killer bourbon selection.
Alamo Steakhouse and The Peddler have always been our favorite.
The whole area is a tourist trap.
Leave are turning early this year. Might be past peak by then.
That’s what I thought staying way out 30 minutes away, usually stay close to Brevard area every year.Originally Posted by juice780

cherokee grill in Gatlinburg if you want a good steak or Chesapeakes for fresh seafood
Breakfast: Crockett's Breakfast camp is a must the apple barn has good breakfast too I hear have good dinners, Lunch or Dinner Bennett's BBQ and Buba Gump is always good. The Old Mill Pottery Cafe across from the Old Mill (is good too) I hear Alamo is good.

The whole place is a tourist trap. Being close by in Knoxville we used to go during off season when no crowds. Now there is never an off season time with no crowds. It’s one of those deals where we love going but never go cause traffic is so bad all the time it’s not worth it. Good luck during peak leave season.
110%!!! Tourist trap bred with a county fair!!! Sad what has become of the area!

J.T. Hannah's, Old Mill, Calhoun's restaurants. Mel's Diner for a banana split to die for. Many great shows: Hatfield's and McCoys, Dixie Stampede, Magic Show, Comedy Barn to name a few. Be sure you visit the island near the Ferris Wheel, especially at night when the water shooting up is in different colors and usually music there too!
If you like knives, be sure to visit Smokey Mountain Knife Works in Pigeon Forge.
what's so sad about it??

i'm 40 minutes from Pigeon Forge/Sevierville and 1 hr from Gatlinburg. Would not want to be closer. Too crowded for my taste.
good luck.

Not a place I would want to live but a visit here and there I dont mind. Gotta admit I like the tourist trap crap every now and then. Good getaway.
Have friends that live in the area and from what they tell me most of the locals are sick of tourism and what it has done to their homewhat's so sad about it??
