    Tried this place out through Uber Eats because traffic was so bad there was just no way to get to it. We ended up going back to our Air BNB and ended up finding this place and decided to try it. After putting in our order and having 3 different drivers cancel on us, we finally got one driver that stuck it out and got our food. To be fair it was some weird event happening with a lot of uh I'll say people in huge jacked up trucks with huge wheels which is why we went back to our Air BNB we felt super uncomfortable. Anyways to the food we ordered quit a bit of food so first up is the cheese and queso. I thought this was really good. The cheese had great flavor and wasn't runny or watery. It was a really good consistency with a slight kick. The chips though were good and crunchy but could have used salt. They were also a touch oily. Next up the sampler. The quesadillas were actually bomb would get again, the mozzarella sticks were fried perfectly and still cheesy, The wings were well sauced but could have used some seasoning. The sauces for everything was also good. Lastly I had this huge bacon cheese burger with a fried onion on it. The burger was seasoned well and cooked just how I wanted it. This bad boy was thick and juicy and I would 100% get this again. The fries however were terrible. All in all I'd definitely order from here again. I hope next time I can actually eat inside the restaurant and try everything fresh.

    Friendly local spot in a tourist destination. Great burgers and meaty chicken wings. If you get "hot" sauce be ready. It's flavorful but it's brings significant heat. Limited sides but great pub food overall. Check it out.

    What a great time we had here! We were looking for something out of the way and found it. The service, our food, and the drinks were great!

    We arrived about 5:15 on Sunday. About 25-30 people in the bar. Tod was our waiter. We ordered the pretzels and nachos. We had to ask for plates. The beer cheese was terrible. The cheese tasted like cold beer it had absolutely no cheese taste. The nachos were probably the worse I've ever had. The beer was cold. We were supposed to meet 4 other couples there but we called them and told them not to come. We were so hoping Bluff's would be great as we live within walking distance and myself and my friends love to hang out. We told Tod and 2 others at the bar how unsatisfactory the food was and I told them that I do Yelp. ... good and bad. $39.39 and terrible. A photo taken of the bill.

    Everything nachos!

    We stopped in for a bite after shopping all day. Really hot out so we were not going to go anywhere until we saw a sign for BLUFFS ON A BILLBOARD . Found it with ease. Everybody was very polite. We got seated really fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They were remotely busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was 830. Our order was taken pretty fast and we got an amazing appetizer and drinks. I've had loaded not shows before, but I've never had loaded nachos that had kidney beans please enjoy our picture. It looks good enough to eat right from the screen That's a five star meal in itself. We left satisfied. We also had a drink, (of course alcohol) but we're over age of 21. lol

    Happy to check this place off our list but this is a "one and done" kind of place for us. The owners/managers don't seem to care much because there is no efforts to upkeep. Broken tables, ripped/overly worn seats. The restrooms are one person at a time so quite the wait. Upon arrival we wasn't sure if we were supposed to be seated or seat ourselves. After about 5 minutes of standing amongst other diners waiting to be seated, I went to the bar to ask an employee. She told us to seat ourselves. We ordered the nachos for an appetizer. They tasted like they came straight from the microwave. We also ordered the club sandwich with fries and 8 mild wings. The wings had a good, savory flavor. The club was your typical club. The fries were a bit too salty but cooked well. Again, I'm happy to finally have checked this place out but will not be returning.

    Visited on a Friday night (10/6/23). Service was good. Music was loud but it was also music video bingo night. We were looking forward to their prime rib special but apparently they removed it from their menu. We were disappointed, but we decided to try steak fajitas instead. We are from Texas, home of Tex-Mex. DO NOT ORDER STEAK FAJITAS HERE. It does not taste good! Thinly sliced beef with no flavor for $19.99. Husband got a Mountain Margarita for $11 and it was okay. We also shared Zesty Rolls appetizers ($12.99) and they're kinda like southwestern eggrolls at Chili's. A little pricey for 3 eggrolls. We will return but definitely sticking to burger or wings next time. PSA: sit on the right side if you prefer quieter seating.

    I hate to crack in to the local hot spot but this place is great! The food is fresh and- seasoned thank god. I couldn't take another tourist trap meal spot. If you get the wings or tenders get the hot chocolate sauce. (A little warning, it's spicy) Service was really quick and everyone here is really friendly.

    Heartstopper

    The food here is AMAZING. Abundant portion sizes and all made fresh to order. The onion rings, burgers, and wings are each massive. Everyone was working well as a team to ensure great service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Large flatscreens make watching the game simple.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One of the best margaritas I've had in a long time.... Bartenders know their stuff, too!

    We're visiting from out of state and found Bluffs on yelp and decided to give it a try and we were not disappointed. The prices are average in my opinion. We had a party of 8 with 5 kids from 3-15 and they all loved it! There was plenty of room for us and even a few pool tables. The food is amazing! The flavor was unique and delicious. Eat here!

    Does this place have tv for sports?

    Yes it does

    There can be on weekend Friday and Saturday just depends if there's a band or disco on. Phone up and ask Daniel or Angie what's happening at the weekend

    No they don't, but there's an outside patio if you must smoke.

    How is the taxi service there?... we will need a ride back to our hotel if we come there next week when we are in Pigeon Forge visiting

    I'm not entirely sure on how taxis are here, but Uber and Lyft are both in the area!

    Yes! We are local and bring our children. You will find that several families bring children during the lunch/early dinner hour, especially on the weekend. Great spot, atmosphere and excellent bartenders - Daniel rocks!

    If your just in overnights it's probably to far, about 30 - 45 min drive to Sevierville

    If you're traveling between Pigeon Forge and Townsend, do yourself a favor and stop at Sloppy Hog…read moreBurger Joint! This place is a hidden gem in Wears Valley with incredible mountain views, a relaxed atmosphere, and some of the best comfort food in the Smokies. The smash burgers are outstanding! Juicy , flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Their signature sloppy joes are packed with flavor and definitely live up to the restaurant's name. The wings are delicious, and the pizza is a great option for sharing with family and friends. Everything we ordered came out fresh and hot. What really sets this place apart is the combination of great food, friendly service, and the beautiful setting. The outdoor seating offers amazing Smoky Mountain views, making it the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring the area. Whether you're a local or just visiting the Smokies, Sloppy Hog is absolutely worth the stop. We'll definitely be back for more burgers, wings, and sloppy joes! Highly recommended!

    We have driven by Sloppy Hog countless times and they've always seemed busy. Yet the reviews…read morecontradicted what looks to be a great place to eat. We finally decided to see if the busyness of the restaurant was a better indicator than the reviews we had seen. We ordered to go. A large BBQ Chicken Pizza with half of it substituting jalapeños for the onion. We also ordered a large Whole Hog. These are thin crust pizzas. The host said the bartender was next door restocking and would be back soon to take our order. We waited around ten minutes for her to return. She came back with some beer and became preoccupied for a few moments with a scratch and commented that she couldn't believe she was bleeding. Not what you want to hear from a restaurant employee. The place was extremely busy with a line waiting for a seat, so when the bartender who took our order said it would be 40 minutes, we weren't surprised. We left to get some groceries while waiting and returned about thirty minutes later. We sat in our vehicle and waited. We saw the bartender come out and look at cars as tho looking for someone. We waited a few more minutes then went in. Our pizzas were on the bar. They were finished early. The issue we have is this: the bartender is the only one who will help at the bar. She was very busy but the staff around her wouldn't even look our way in spite of trying to get their attention. The pizza was already paid for and we just wanted to have it given to us and get it back to the cabin before it cooled too much. Didn't happen. 5-10 minutes later, we left with the pizzas. Seems they could have a better way of handling to go orders. The pizzas were tasty. The BBQ chicken could have stood a lot more chicken on it. The Whole Hog, on the other hand, was loaded... with a whole hog, it would seem. That was a winner. We would give it a go again but I think we would try the burgers. We saw them being delivered to tables and they looked amazing. Would I recommend? Yeah. Just don't be in a rush.
