Discover Gatlinburg

Gatlinburg and sister city Pigeon Forge, which are nestled away in the backwoods of the Appalachian Mountains, offer many delightful dining options. Spend the day at Dolly Parton's amusement park or get lost in one of the Southeast's most popular wildlife exhibits before heading out for dinner at a local restaurant. The restaurants in this area specialize in buttery green beans, smooth mashed potatoes, and other Southern staples. Fish fries made from catfish are abundant in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, which are deeply rooted in Appalachian and Southeastern cultures. East Tennessee's food is as enjoyable as its hilly sights, offering Southern fried chicken, American apple pie, and authentic moonshine. Fried foods and pine trees equally populate Gatlinburg with deep-fried Southern food available practically everywhere in the hilly, touristy locale.
