This is me and my wife second time here and just like the first time you all did not disappoint. The atmosphere was second to none the food was awesome. The people were kind, friendly and very attentive. I highly recommend the Peddler steakhouse to anybody. They have options for anyone and everyone. Me and my wife have tried other steakhouses around Gatlinburg and the pigeon Forge area and we swear by the peddler steakhouse we will not go anywhere else. Reservations are not necessary, but highly recommend.

I’m leaving after enjoying a fantastic meal to wrap up the year.
I highly recommend the pickles at this salad bar. Of all the pickles I’ve ever eaten in my life, these are the best.
The pickles were even more memorable than the meat I tasted. The meat was excellent, as expected, given that it’s a source of pride for this restaurant. If I ever come back to this area in the future, I’ll definitely visit again.

We spent the later half of the week in Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg, and were so excited to eat at the Peddler before heading back home! We LOVED every part of our meal here. The salad bar was amazing and had so many choices! I overfilled my salad a couple times, but it’s hard not to when you like so many of the toppings offered! The 12 ounce ribeye was the best steak I’ve ever had! It was cooked perfectly and had such good flavor! Every one in my family absolutely loved their meals as well.
Service was amazing and super attentive! We loved watching how quickly the staff bussed empty tables in order to have a smooth turn-over for people waiting to be seated. Beautiful scenery too! We will definitely make this our “go-to” place the next time we visit the area!

We came here for a nice date night, and it did not disappoint! We got a filet mignon with a baked potato and a New York strip with steak fries. Both were cooked to perfection.
We also got dessert and devoured it in minutes
Our servers were super sweet and did an amazing job. I would say the only disappointment was they don’t have mashed potatoes on their menu, I made my own out of the baked potato so it was ok.

We visited here during peak season in the fall, and we showed up without a reservation, which isn’t recommended, but we still had a good experience! We were able to get a table in the lounge room fairly quickly and had a great experience. Kimberly was an awesome waitress. The salad bar was extensive. Steaks were awesome, and I had the mountain blackberry margarita. We also saw three black bears in the river, which was super cool. Check it out if you are in Gatlinburg!

Came here for our anniversary dinner and the service was amazing. We sat by the river with candlelit and were treated so kindly the entire night. We were told Happy Anniversary more times than we could count which made the whole night for us. We ordered the marinated chicken and petite filet mignon. Both fall apart tender and seasoned perfectly. We had the chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream for dessert and it was so airy light and delicious after our meal. Server was attentive and brought drinks when ours were half way empty. Couldnt say any more good things about this place.

Been coming to Gatlinburg since 2013 every single year have never tried the Peddlers steakhouse before. Not quite sure how this has happened but wow…… Reservations are strongly recommended. We reserved a few weeks back and got a window seat Creekside within the first 10 minutes of being there a black bear came down and walked the creek as seen in the photos in the short video. The salad bar was very heavily variety. I can honestly say that the smoked oysters and anchovies were the freshest I’ve ever had anywhere. The waitress and the staff was very friendly everything including the staff was very clean and in order and organized. The bathrooms are so clean you could eat in them. I ordered a 12 ounce ribeye medium, and the Wife ordered a 14 ounce New York strip medium. Let me tell you and all the reviews I’ve ever done which is very quite extensive over 10 states and probably 150 different restaurants or steakhouses. These are by far the best steaks I have ever eaten. If Gordon Ramsay was eating at the peddler, he would clap. This is a true gem and I cannot wait till next year to come back and revisit it again. PS I am trying to get reservations again before we leave. Fingers crossed. Bravo to the management and staff of the Pedaler truly, this was the most favorite restaurant in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge area.

We had the most FABULOUS dinner at Peddlers steakhouse. Jenney was a server and she was extremely tentative and knowledgeable. Extremely friendly and never once did we have to ask for anything. Now, on to the steaks! Ohmygoodness!! The most tender steaks we’ve had in a long time, and cooked to perfection! They offer table side cutting of the ribeye and new York strips, which hubby enjoyed immensely! Said it was the most tender, juicy and flavorful steak he’s ever had. Im so glad we booked our reservation here, and won’t hesitate to in the future. The atmosphere and ambiance made a great evening perfect. Don’t hesitate to make a reservation at Peddlers. You’ll be so glad that you did! Oh, and the salad bar is DA BOMB!!!!! Everything you can imagine is on it. And FRESH!

Our party of 17 had an amazing dinner. The hosting staff welcomed us warmly and seated our large group right away. Our wait staff was attentive and friendly throughout the meal.
Special shoutout to Mike, the general manager, for his outstanding leadership and making sure everything was perfect. The team was incredibly accommodating to the elderly members with disabilities, handling everything smoothly and thoughtfully.
The salad bar was fresh and plentiful, the steaks were perfectly cooked, and the cocktails were fantastic. Highly recommend this spot for groups and anyone wanting great food and service in Gatlinburg! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Absolutely delicious, I got a 14oz strip medium with a bake potato, because I had the salad bar I didn’t eat my potato, I at the whole steak first because these steaks deserve to consumed right then not taken home and reheated. It was so juicy and tender you just want to take your time and savor every bite. Save your side dish for last or bring it home because a potato reheated is just fine, my wife didn’t listen to me (like normal ) and brought home a half eaten steak.
