Linger over a delicious meal at these Pigeon Forge restaurants. There’s a cuisine for everyone, whether you prefer seafood and steak, Southern home cooking, or authentic Italian fare. These restaurants wrap you in the warm embrace of beautiful dining rooms and relaxed, cozy atmospheres.

The food is top-notch fine dining, focused on classic turf and surf. The Bullfish Grill is comfortably elegant, with dark, polished wood beams and tables, stone details, and thickly upholstered booth seats. Slip into a booth and you’ll feel as if you’re tucked away from the world.

Dinner specials include pistachio-crusted trout, New Orleans shrimp pasta, and flavorful rice bowls topped with steak, chicken, or tuna. Steak lovers will salivate over the ribeye, sirloin, and filet mignon. Save room for dessert, like a two-layer key lime pie, stacked with twice the tart sweetness.

The Old Mill is brimming with country coziness. This restaurant dishes up Southern comfort food Inside a historic mill built in 1830. Pull up one of the carved wood chairs at a farmhouse table for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Try to get a table near the windows to see the river flowing through the mill’s water wheel.

Homemade biscuits star in the hearty breakfasts. Lunches include made-from-scratch soups, sandwiches, entrees, and salads. Dinner is a feast of mouth-watering favorites like fried chicken, meatloaf, pot pie, pot roast, or pork chops. Don’t miss the corn fritters, rich corn chowder, and slow-cooked green beans.

Quiet and intimate, Ristorante DellaSantina is a treasure. This is not some echoing, crowded chain restaurant! You’ll feel as if you’ve been welcomed to the DellaSantina family’s home, in the understated, elegant dining room. Dine outdoors and enjoy the serene view of the river gliding past you. Have a warming espresso or cappuccino, or order from the extensive wine list, and open the menu.

Look for true classics of Italian cuisine, like pastas, lasagna, chicken parmesan, and luxuries like filet mignon, lamb, and scallop and shrimp dishes. Appetizers and sides are reminiscent of a Southern Italian eatery round out the meal. Creamy tiramisu, luscious gelatos, and chocolate mousses will tempt you to order an extra dessert to share.
