"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.

"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..."
