Best Southern American Restaurants in Pigeon Forge

Excellent service, the food was outstanding and the ambiance was very unique….business casual to fine dining experience.

We had a great experience at Ember and Elm. Lulu was our server and she was great. She had wonderful recommendations and was familiar with the menu. We had cocktails and dinner. The restaurant was peaceful and not very busy on a Friday night which was great. The food was good and portion sizes were perfect. Overall it was a great evening and enjoyable time. We also have diamond passes for Dollywood and that helped with the value of the meal and drinks.

Wonderful atmosphere, delicious food and friendly staff! This is our go-to restaurant when guests visit

Had Ruth as our waitress. She was wonderful…attentive, engaging, very friendly and always smiling. The food and atmosphere was great. Was our second time there in three days and was a very enjoyable experience.

What a gem in the middle of Maryville! My wife and I enjoyed our dinner at RT Lodge very much. Firstly, we enjoyed the cozy lodge itself and the old-school feel of the bar and dining areas. The meal itself didn’t disappoint. It was expertly prepared and nicely presented. The wine menu was plenty extensive and quite impressive. The servers were all great as well. In short, we would recommend RT Lodge for a romantic or simply a non-romantic elevated dinner out.
