Gatlinburg Restaurants:
The Park Grill - American classics, particularly steaks, served in a massive log structure with contemporary decor.
The Alamo Steakhouse (located in Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg) - Highly recommended for their steaks. Here at the Alamo Steakhouse, we believe in serving the best. We take our aged steak, hand cut it in house and season it. We then grill it over an oak fire to sear in all the juices and natural flavors. This makes our steaks tender and delicious. But it’s not just steaks we take such care with, we also grind our own burgers, make all of our own soups, sauces & gravies, as well as hand-bread and cook our mozzarella sticks to order.
