    We were driving on the local highway and stop near by the gas station to spot this donut store next to it. We decided to explore the store and take a break. Our decision did not disappoint us. The clerk is very friendly to show us the fresh donut they have. They have cronut. I got the pumpkin cronut is delicious. Among the donut we also got cake donuts, special donuts off from menu. All of them are delicious. Price is reasonable. I hope they open in Tampa. But that not going to happen. We enjoy that while we are here. They also have boba drinks that you can select. Overall they are very good. Best donut in the area. Love the fresh donut.

    Okay... doughnuts are important. They are necessary for survival! But when you're traveling around the country you can't ALWAYS find the very best of everything - unless, maybe, you're just lucky - like we were!! OMG! Fireworks!! Stars!! Trumpets sounding!! - How much do we offer them to travel around with us?? Does everyone HAVE a price?? Anyway, while in Knoxville... WE are only eating doughnuts here - we've tried ALL the rest, and we've settled on the very BEST!! - - of course! Their doughnuts are light and fresh with NO oily aftertaste!! The owners are amazing - doughnuts!! it's what they do!! The son makes the best mocha coffee in the world, too... if you're interested! Ya gotta get there early, though, if you want things like Bear Claws - doughnuts fly out of that place as if they have wings! You can special order, too! You'd never know, by looking at the small shop attached to a filling station, that heaven was waiting for you just a few steps aways - - - sigh.

    In six words: I'm In Love With This Place. If those 6 words aren't enough, I'll elaborate: These donuts are buckin' good! A friend introduced me to this place several months ago and I've been here now probably 10 times, usually around 9-10am. If they were open after 5pm it would probably be my favorite dinner spot and my doctor would curse me. But all in moderation, I try to pop in a few times a month, jump-start my blood sugar and feel good about supporting a local owner-operated business. THE STAFF: For a seemingly small little operation, I see a lot of different helpful smiling face's behind the counter. They all seem to take pride in their work and that adds to my love of stopping in. The owners are definitely the lifeblood of the success here. THE DONUTS: Great variety and I'm slowly working my way through the inventory. I love the sausage roll (both spicy and regular). On the sweeter side, my favorite is probably the apple fritter (cherry is also great). The cinnamon roll is delicious, as are the cream-filled powdered donuts you ask for, which are made to order (you can choose white or yellow cream). These fried, stuffed and powdered dough puffs of goodness are likely to make a mess all over you, so wear the right clothing if you're munching while driving. I may or may not be speaking from experience. Hmmm... Yesterday, I tried the glazed red velvet donut. So good. There was also blueberry but red velvet screamed my name the loudest. I've tried the glazed twist, glazed croissant (Omg yes, the glazed croissant... I just wish it were bigger ). The egg & cheese breakfast croissant was also good. Next time I'm gonna try the Long John. There will be many next times. Many. THE COFFEE: Well... I haven't tried the coffee. It is definitely not a featured item here because it wasn't until yesterday that I first saw a little 4-inch square sign on the counter next to a tiny bell that reads "ring me for coffee". I do love my coffee, almost all day, so I'll investigate this sneaky offering later. I suppose any coffee with a buckin' good donut is good coffee, but I'll let you know if it teeters into 'great' territory. THE CONCLUSION: I love Buckin' Good Donuts and I think you will too. Until next time...

    Birthday donuts

    Ordered 6 dozen donuts for a birthday party and they turned out amazing!!! They were so fresh and beautiful. Pink strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate with pink and white sprinkles! The service was so kind and helpful. I called ahead and I'm thankful for them accommodating us with the special order. Thank you all at Buck'n Good!

    This place makes the best doughnuts. Don't let the location fool you inside a gas station. The lightest doughnuts I've had in years.

    Local Goat in Pigeon Forge TN is awesome. You can tell by the parking lot that is always packed…read moreout - every day. Food is Fresh and prepared exactly as you request it. Never been disappointed in any of the dishes ordered. Love the fresh, hand-cut french fries and fried green tomatoes. That's the only place my husband goes for the best burger in town.

    Stopped in pigeon Forge to see the smoky mountains for two days while trekking to Clarksville. I…read morehave never been to the area so I was blown away. It was like a little kid Las Vegas! They literally have every fast food and chain dining experience on one block, but I didn't know that at the time but I'm tired of road trip Food so wanted to sit down for a good meal! Pulling into the parking lot and I was overwhelmed because it was huge and very crowded! We go to the desk and they tell us 25 minutes. This place was huge and very accommodating, they were getting people to their tables fast! We noticed two empty seats at the bar, so we opted to take them and had the pleasure of being served by Robert. He was attentive, made sure our waters were always full. He gave recommendations on his favorite dishes and was all around a great bartender! The guy working the other end of the bar was equally as professional. The ambience is a dark cool vibe, little trendy but people were dressed pretty casually! Answer the most important thing...The food! For an app, we got the beer, cheese fondue that came with apples, bread and pretzels. The beer cheese had a little bit of ooomph to it, which was refreshing because usually I'm not a big mustard person. The pretzel bites were incredible crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The apples were fresh all around the appetizer for 3 to 4 people so we took extra home. I ordered the 10 ounce sirloin cooked, medium with the web sweet potatoes and a side Caesar salad for a three dollar charge which ended up being a full-size salad! It was super fresh and gigantic for a side salad. The steak was cooked perfectly, in the middle with an insane sear. Their house, butter that they put on it truly elevated the flavor profile. I tried the sweet potatoes mashed and they were enjoyable, but I do not enjoy a sweet side with my food so I knew I was going to donate them to my husband and he said they were incredible, the flavor was definitely there just not my cup of tea, but I knew that from the beginning . He got the Caesar salad with grilled chicken! It had so much flavor and tastes incredible but yet melted in your mouth it was the most tender chicken I've ever had in my life, and the flavor was all there! Not even the slightest bit of any kind of dryness. One of the best bites of chicken I've ever had.! He ordered the bison meatloaf to go, and that comes with caramelized mashed potatoes and fried onion straws.... It smells incredible and I will update when we try it . * UPDATE: best meatloaf ever!!! Based on the quality/ experience on a very busy night- everything was phenomenal and I will return. Service 10/5 Food 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Value 5/5

    Headed to a Smokies game, we chose to stop into SmashCity for a pregame burger…read more The service and burger came up quickly. I opted for the truffle smash and large fry. My buddy opted for the Spicy Smash. The burgers were mmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmm great, Juicy and the bun held up. Fries were fresh and would like to see maybe a topping or poutine option for them. Cool spot to get some AC and great burger before a Smokies game or a night in the old City.

    We already had 250 miles under our belt for the day. 4 more hours to home. I was sick of fast food…read moreand we were making good time so we decided to venture off the road, but just a little. SmashCity wasn't far off of the interstate, it had good ratings and although we'd been eating burgers and fries quite a bit on this roadtrip, a good burger and fries really sounded good. All of the reviews were right on - this was absolutely NOT fast food - it was fast, really fast, but the speed was just bonus. As we usually do, we split. We chose the Carolina BBQ smash. The burgers were juicy - if you're not careful, I guarantee you'll be wearing it. Two critiques, it definitely needed more sauce - I just added some of the SmashCity sauce from our fries and it worked but I really would have liked to have had more BBQ sauce. Second, the fried onions were quite burned. I pulled off most of them. The hand cut fries were piping hot, just the right amount of greasy and seasoned perfectly. Splitting the burger was a good call - I'd never have eaten the whole thing myself. The burger and fries were just over $20. When you consider a Big Mac meal at that clown place is $14, SmashCity is almost a bargain. Paul, the owner was like the energizer bunny - he was everywhere at once. Personality oozed from his pores. Make sure you tell him Sue said hi! (He won't remember me but just say hi anyway!) Now I wouldn't say SmashCity has the best burgers - that award goes to our friend Jerry. He makes a pretty mean smash burger on the blackstone. If you have an extra half hour, skip the fast food burger joints, get off that highway, and go let Paul fill your belly for the rest of your trip! You'll appreciate it!
