The lodgelike dining room features stone floors, warm lighting, and a statement fireplace that creates an inviting ambiance without feeling stuffy.

For families dining with kids, the Southern fried chicken tenders offer a crowd-pleasing option, and highchairs are readily available. Dog owners can enjoy the pet-friendly outdoor seating area.

Don't Miss

Hand-Cut Angus Steaks

The certified Angus beef is aged and hand-cut daily. We've tried the 14 oz ribeye and 7 oz filet mignon - both cooked to perfection every time.

Chargrilled Oysters

These are a standout appetizer that keeps us coming back. Fresh daily and grilled with just the right amount of seasoning and butter.

Pan-Seared Crab Cakes

Loaded with real crab meat and not filled with breadcrumbs like so many places. The pan-searing gives them a perfect crispy exterior.

Stone Floor Dining Room

The atmosphere really sets this place apart from typical Parkway restaurants. Stone floors, warm lighting, and a massive fireplace create an upscale lodge feel.

Full Bar Service

They have a complete bar with craft cocktails and wine selection. The bartenders know their stuff and can recommend pairings with your meal.

Dog-Friendly Patio

One of the few upscale restaurants in Pigeon Forge that welcomes dogs on the outdoor patio. Great for travelers with pets who don't want to compromise on food quality.
