"Another place where you can enjoy some juicy steaks is The Park Grill. Located basically next door to the south, they serve some the freshest cuts of all the steak restaurants in Gatlinburg. They’re not just a steakhouse, so you don’t have to order steak to be impressed with their various menu items."
"If you love fresh food that is made from scratch, one of the best places for lunch in Pigeon Forge is the Local Goat!. This restaurant specializes in locally sourced and sustainable menu items, including wonderful salads, jumbo wings, hearty steaks, mouthwatering ribs and incredible desserts!. Some of the lunch favorites at the Local Goat include the Teriyaki Kabob, Fish ‘n Chips and Blackened Shrimp Po-Boys."
"At first glance it might look like Local Goat as a menu like other Pigeon Forge eateries: huge burgers and beer. But this is one of Pigeon Forge's only kitchens with an emphasis on the sustainable, using homemade and locally sourced ingredients. Look for local and craft beers, high-end cocktails, table service with cloth napkins (a rarity in these parts) and giant portions (that's the Pigeon Forge way)."
"There are plenty of places to grab a burger and a beer in the Smoky Mountains, but not many are as memorable as Local Goat. It’s one of the few restaurants in the Gatlinburg area to source local ingredients, and the kitchen's attention..."
"Another place to eat in Gatlinburg TN on the Strip is Loco Burro Fresh Mex Cantina. This is the only restaurant on the Strip that has a rooftop patio where you can enjoy your food outside. Loco Burro has all your Tex Mex favorites."
"You’ll find all your favorites, from enchiladas to fajitas to tacos. You can’t go wrong with the chips and salsa, and you know you want to, so go ahead and add queso!. Can’t decide what you want?"
"Outstanding/delicious food (taco salad and chicken fajita salad) not to mention fantastic chips and salsa!!. The salads were so fresh with fresh crisp lettuce... (865) 430-5624Order online"
"Another great place for burgers and chicken wings is Blue Moose. This is a casual Pigeon Forge restaurant that will make you feel right at home. Share a platter of hot wings with the table and choose from a variety of sauces."

"Before dinner, we made our way to World’s Fair Park to check into the Tennessean Hotel, which just opened in April next door to the Holiday Inn. The rooms are airy and gorgeous with some stunning works of art, and we had a view of the park below us. We were also just a five-minute walk from Market Square, so we left our car valeted at the hotel for much of the week and explored Knoxville by foot."
