3. The Old Mill Restaurant

Settle in at a table with a river view. Relax in the down-home atmosphere inside this beautiful 200-year-old grist mill. Choose one of The Old Mill’s mouth-watering Southern classics, like meatloaf, chicken and dumplings, pot roast, or turkey and dressing. The Old Mill serves comfort foods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, like homemade biscuits at breakfast or corn chowder and corn fritters at lunch. The restaurant is neighbor to an old-fashioned general store, ice cream parlor, and boutique shops, in the heart of Pigeon Forge.

4. Gaucho Urbano Brazilian Steakhouse

Meat lovers will relish the variety at Gaucho Urbano. Fifteen different cuts of juicy, slow-roasted meats, including beef, pork, lamb, chicken, and sausage, appear at your table on skewers.

Add Brazilian sides from the huge salad and hot bar, including daily specials like beef stroganoff, chicken dishes, rice and beans, steamed vegetables, and gourmet salads. Don’t miss Sunday’s feijoada bar, serving traditional Brazilian black bean and pork stew.
