me and my significant other went to bullfish grill for our 2nd year anniversary, upon visiting pigeon forge we did a tiny bit of research and decided to come to this restaurant because we typically tend to go to the same restaurant that we always go to but this time we decided to change it up. our server (won't name their name) came out to us and instantly we felt rush. we ordered a dr.pepper and a strawberry lemonade and the lemonade tasted like straight up water. we were going to order a bar drink but they walked away thinking we were done. they weren't really helpful. we then ordered a non virgin drink after they asked to make sure they were able to make it. our drinks took a good minute to come out. they let the cups pile up on our table. they brought out one basket of breed but didn't bring out more. we ordered an appetizer, which i would give a 3.5/5, mozzarella sticks which were laid on top of marinara sauce, i don't know why but didn't like that. but the food is almost like your basic food (5/5) but the food came out fast which isn't an issue just wish it would have taken time to come out. just wish the server was nicer, and more aware, also wish the server wasn't rude when explaining what drink products they have cause let's be real all restaurants are different. read more

We decided to try something so we came here, everything on the menu sounded great! To our dismay, the server Brittany... OMG of she any less personality, she would be one of the walking dead characters. I mean come on, REALLY, & you work for tips, no a good job fit!!! The Bullfish Shrimp was a replica of Bonefish Bang Bang Shrimp witch was excellent. I ordered the Shrimp & Grits with extra gravy only to receive it with NO gravy & Ms. Non Personality, didn't feel the need to enlighten me that it didn't come with any until the dish actually came out and offered me a mushroom gravy. I politely declined and ordered the special Blackened Blue Ribeye medium well, mmmm!!! No it came out medium rare.... the cook forgot this is not an short order at Waffle House!!! Anyway, the manger came over to bring the new and improved steak, note it's basically will done. I know when I'm defeated. I give up, pay for my food and write a review then leave. In the beginning the ladies up front made you feel so welcome and to be hit in the back by the walking dead! Hopefully, it's just the cold weather that's making them non-chalant. read more

Bullfish Grill - Liquor display - Steakhouses Near Me - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

In a town horrifically bloated with tourists, all grazing 24/7 at the most gauche of dining experiences, this place is GREAT. You can wander into the cool and appealing place in your park clothes and begin with iced tea and their pimento cheese. Their bread is the kind where you stab your mate if they take the last piece. The pasta - great, salmon and grits - perfect. The rib eye was a bit bland and they need to kick up the horseradish sauce. But the dinner salad was really outstanding as was our waiter (I'm looking at you, Rob). I would suggest the Neil Diamond Bee Gees medley not play the entire time and that bus boys not congregate in the narrow and dark pathway to restrooms. Stay away from the PF kitchens, mills and smokehouses. You've endured the tourists, now treat yourself. read more

Very good food. The asparagus was the best and so soft. The mozzarella stick were huge and delicious. Burger was good also. I would go back. They bring delicious bread to start for free. Hot, soft and taste like sough dough bread. Service was good too. The staff were polite. read more

YUM ! Fresh hot bread with honey butter was brought out right away. It was delicious. We ordered a pasta dish and shared it and it too was wonderful. We sub'ed chicken tortilla soup for the salad and we would definitely do that again. The menu has something for everyone and although it was our first time it definitely won't be our last . read more

Although the kitchen was a little slow on a Tuesday afternoon between Christmas Day 2022 and New Years Day 2023,, the food was good and the service was too! read more

We have eaten here in the past and enjoyed it. Our dinner last night was a mess from start to finish. The waiter had his mask under his nose the whole time. I ordered a cosmopolitan. It came as a cocktail on ice. I told the waiter they are normally martinis and the bartender literally poured it into a martini glass with the ice and sent it back to me. I asked if I could order the tuna cooked higher than rare and was told yes. It came rare. The waiter took it back and they threw the slices onto the grill to make the outside brown, but it was still rare inside. To top it off I went to the restroom where there was no toilet paper or soap, in the middle of a pandemic. I hope it was just a bad night, but we won't be back any time soon. read more

We came in for a vacation in the area for 3 nights. We ate at bullfish the first night and had the greatest experience. The food was fantastic, and the service was top notch. It was well worth the money as well. I believe our servers name was Reed. He was very prompt, helpful, friendly, and fun! We all spoke every single day about how phenomenal Bullfish was! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! It will certainly be a place I come back to. read more

The crab cakes were really good. A lot of crab. So many places use filler and not much crab meat. Staff really hustles. Tables are cleaned in a flash. I can see why they are so busy. Seafood platter had a lot of shrimp and fish. French fries were a little cold. read more

So after reading all the reviews on yelp regarding the restaurant, I would give it a solid 4 stars. We arrived around 815 on a Saturday night expecting this place to be packed (I even called ahead 20 minutes just in case) and we were seated promptly in the booth. The inside decor was beautifully decorated and gives it a warm cozy feel. Out waiter greeted us and brought us drinks right away. We then ordered the spicy shrimp (upon the suggestion of many people) and I ordered the Cesar salad and my friend ordered the house salad. They brought out the house bread right away and it was piping hot. It was pretty salty on the outside and we ate just the inside. We then got our appetizer within 10 minutes and the spicy shrimp tasted familiar to Bonefish Grill's bang bang shrimp. It was good but maybe the mayonnaise sauce was a little too heavy. Our salads came out right away and it was freshly prepared and good. Now for our entree, I ordered the 4 oz twin filet mignon and creamed spinach for my side. The twin filet was very tasty with two different take on it. One had a bluecrab bearnaise sauce on it and the other had a shiitake mushroom sauce on it. Both were delicious but my favorite was the chunks of bluecrab covered in bearnaise sauce. The steak was cooked medium and it was perfect. My friend ordered the special of the day which was a 10 oz NY strip with grilled shrimp over it. He didn't even put any steak sauce on it because it was that good. For what we spent, we had a great dinner. I highly recommend this place if anyone is up for some good steak! My only advice, skip the salty bread.... read more

AMAZING food and AMAZING service!!! such good food honestly i wanted to keep on eating lol

Eh... hostesses weren't friendly at all. Server was pretty good though. I think her name was Myka. Caesar salad was a 10/10, and my steak was cooked very well. The rest of my party had errors with their food. read more

Too bad it don't allow 0 stars! If you plan to have a few beers with your supper this is not the place! We were told they couldn't give you more than one beer while waiting on your food. We had our first drink and ordered appetizer. Before the appetizer came out we ordered another beer. Once the appetizer came, still no beer. 17 mins later (since the manager knew the exact time) when salad came still no drink. The service was horrible either way. If its a rule for their restaurant they shouldn't have a full bar. We will never return and if you like to have more than 1 beer before your food comes out dont go here. read more

Average. Got seated right away which was great but the food was comparable to Applebee's. Okay but nothing to write home about. Overpriced. But the bread is delicious. Service was okay. Overage not a terrible visit but not a place that left me wanting more. One and done for my family. read more

Awesome dinner and atmosphere. Come back? oh yea!!! I thought Dinner price are also quite reasonable for being in pigeon Forge!! read more

Nice dining atmosphere and friendly, attentive staff. Husband had the seafood combo & I had the southern fried chicken tenders. The white cheddar mashed potatoes were delicious read more

This was a little pricey, but the service and food made up for the extra cost. Andrew, our server, was absolutely outstanding! A wealth of information about the area, continuously checking back without any intrusion and a last to talk to! I would definitely recommend this establishment and hopefully you will get Andrew! read more

The restaurant is very nice to look at; however the food is horrible. It's alway hit & miss but the one in Pigeon Forge is the worst. If you do go Don't try any dish with shrimp; worst shrimp & grits I've ever seen. i could go on but bad management says enough! read more

Extensive menu and decent food. I had the pecan encrusted trout which was good. We had several children with us and the kids menu portions were huge. The draft beer selection was limited though, especially for local beers. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal though. However, I was disappointed with the lack of social distancing. By the time we left every table was in use and none seemed to be at least six feet apart. In fact, we were seated right next to another table occupied by several people despite there being other available tables. But I guess it didn't matter as all tables were eventually filled. read more

Good food, good service, nice surprise! We were stopped here on a whim after visiting the Titanic museum and were ravenous! We started with the beer dip. It was decent, but we didn't like how it came with tostada shells that you had to break up do dip. Call me lazy, but just give me a tortilla chip or some bread to dip. I got the pistachio crusted trout that was SO good! I am just beginning to eat fish so I get nervous trying new things, but it was perfect. Tons of flavor, not fishy at all, and delicious. My husband got a cajun pasta with shrimp in it. Since he has gotten this from other places and found it to be on the bland side, he asked them to add a little extra spice. Let's just say they couldn't keep his water filled. LOL The dish was very large and could easily be shared. It was very good. It was so delicious that a couple days later he said he wanted to go back just to get that dish again. Service was awesome, as well! read more

We did a whole meal appetizers and it was delicious! Oysters & tuna beat out the fried green tomatoes but the service and beverage was great! read more

Service honestly had me feeling uncomfortable! The oysters are not a good choice for appetizers and it felt like I waiter was to busy to wait on us and we were overcharged for a dish we didn't get! read more

All I can say is Awesome Food! Great service. Try the corn chowder, it is amazing! In Smoky Mountains for vacation. This is a must try if you want a tasty meal. read more

Excellent dinner! Mary is a wonderful waitress. She helped us time our cocktails and appetizers with dinner! I would definitely recommend Bullfish Grill and eat here again when in Pigeon Forge, TN! read more

This was a good place to eat, found it at the last minute glad we did not go by the last review in 2021. The service was great Marlene was very attentive and the food we had was amazing. I had the pistachio encrusted trout, I substituted the wild mushroom pilaf rice with their peanut brittle sweet potato casserole, my friend substitute for the loaded baked potato and my other friend had the fried shrimp and was very happy that they took to Tales off. all in all this is a great place to eat. read more

If you haven't eaten here.....WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? This place is fantastic. Service was great and the food was Devine. Yes it has a weird name and a statue of a bull with a fish in its mouth but it's clean, and comfortable. The food choices are plenty. The staff was friendly and took very good care of us. I am so glad we stopped in. read more

Hubby and I came at 6:30 on a Wednesday night. We were seated immediately. Server came and got drink orders right away. We each ordered a Tennessee Mule and ice water. We ordered the fried green tomatoes appetizer. I ordered the strawberry salad with grilled chicken and hubby ordered the shrimp pasta. Everything was excellent. Service was AMAZING. read more

The spicy shrimp and fried green tomatoes were AMAZING! Similar to bang bang shrimp, with a beautiful presentation. The fried green tomatoes were different than any I've ever had before.. like a bruschetta with friend green tomatoes on the bottom. Wonderful service, fantastic food. I will definitely be back! read more

Amazing! They were busy but sat down in 15! Excellent server guy with curly hair and beard was super! He was so attentive and friendly! Food was amazing! Great experience! read more

Oh my goodness this place has ah-mazing eats!! Every single meal we had was outstanding. Excellent wait staff. Don't change a thing!

First time to Pigeon, took a chance and was greatly surprised by the excellent service, food! Tried the trout, shrimp wedge salad and Cajun seafood, all were wonderful! read more

I wanted to love this place, I really did. It's still better than 75% of what you'll find in town, but it didn't blow me away. Pros: Seated immediately (party of 5) on a Friday evening! Kids menu had more options than the usual chicken tenders/Mac and cheese/burger trio. Fun/unique drinks menu. Pistachio trout was so tender and tasty! Cons: Frigid A/C blasting directly on me was irritating. There are definitely service issues that need to be addressed.... we were seated for 10 minutes before drink order was taken and I saw many others wait longer (and walk out). Also saw several dishes sent back during our visit. Our server was clearly frantic and frazzled. May have been an understaffed night. Pricing was fair for the food and ambiance. May give it another chance in the future and hope the service has improved because I think this place has real potential! read more

My wife and I are locals (well, within 25 minutes of Pigeon Forge), so we come here every chance we get. Bullfish always has a great selection, but when we went here the other night we tried the Hawaiian sirloin with creamed spinach and the sweet potato casserole. WOW! Everything was incredible! The bread that came with the meal was very tasty, not your typical "free bread"-tasting appetizer. Salads are ALWAYS fresh, and ours were the other night. But even though the food was great, the topper of the evening was the incredible service provided by our server Daniela. Very attentive, undeniably friendly, and quick to get us anything we needed (got to give a shout-out to the kitchen for getting it ready so quick!). AND BULLFISH EVEN LETS YOU DO CALL-AHEAD SEATING!!!! If you're in the area, eat here at least once on your trip! read more

If I had to sum up my family's experience at Bullfish Grill, it was underwhelming. First the pros: speedy service, friendly staff, and a clean place to eat. Now the cons: food was disappointing, my daughter had the kids sirloin; it was under seasoned. My wife ordered the Hawaiian sirloin; it was under seasoned. I myself ordered the seafood combo; no flavor, under seasoned again. Felt overpriced for what we got but, it has its pros, just felt the food didn't live up to the price. read more

After a long day of shopping at the Tanger Outlets, I read good reviews of Bullfish Grill and decided to give it a try. The appearance of the restaurant was nice but felt like many other chain restaurants. Located on the strip in Pigeon Forge near O'Charley's and MagiQuest, this is a good location for a pretty good dinner. Alas, it was just a-okay, not anything wonderful. We arrived at 6:30pm on a Monday night, and their dining room was pretty full. They did accept call aheads, so that was nice. We were seated in the big portion of the dining room and were suprised that the noise level was quite low. The restaurant had dim lighting and a cozy feel. Our server was a little wacko and seemed put off by us (not sure why, maybe because we had a baby?). He rushed to get our drink order and made a smart comment about us looking confused about the menu so he'll come back later and explain. About 5 minutes later, he arrived with water and bread and ran off quickly. The bread was wonderful! It was very fresh & warm, covered in sea salt and a side of butter spread. Yummy. The caesar salad I ordered was quite nice- the dressing had a kick to it and the croutons were fresh. I ordered a grilled chicken breast with the mushroom demi-glace that was supposed to be on the filet medallions, and it was good (not great, just good). The mashed potatoes were pretty good too. My mom got the filet, and she said it was just mediocre. My sister ordered the shrimp pasta, and it was pretty bland too. My mom said the key lime pie was more whip cream than key lime pie. All in all, this restaurant was just mediocre. The service was sub-par but the food was pretty good. Not so sure I'll go out of my way to return here, but it wasn't a horrible experience after all. read more

Service was ok, my first dish came out super salty and inedible. The tuna i ordered instead turned out ok. Little pricey on the portions and foods on the menu compared to other restaurants. Hosts were super friendly and attentive. read more

I ordered a pistachio crusted rainbow trout with a Sriracha sauce. The filet of fish was delicious and perfectly cooked. I love spicy food so more sriracha sauce would be my only request but this plate was presented perfectly and I was one of the best meals not fixed by myself at home I have had in a long time. The service was great, but it wasn't too busy when we arrived. My side was creamed spinach which I can honestly say is the best I have ever had. I don't usually eat bread but they even knocked it out of the park with that. I can't recommend enough if you are looking for a great piece of fish. read more

Bullfish Grill - Creamed spinach and rainbow trout. - Steakhouses Near Me - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

This was a good meal but not for the price you pay. I feel like most everything in the pigeon forge Seveirville area is grossly overpriced. For me and my family for two ribeye steaks, a beer cheese appetizer, a hot dog and fries for my daughter, three soft drinks and two salads the meal came up to over 120 dollars. Imagine if you will if you had a family of five how much it would be. Service was good but not worth the price read more

My wife tried the BF Grill for the first time for lunch. We will be putting it on our rotation of excellent dining places in Pigeon Forge TN. As locals we eat out 2-4 times a week. Next time we will try dinner there. read more

Please avoid at all cost. Makes Applebee's seem like fine dining. Monday night october 26th or so, around 8 my wife and I came in. Ordered 2 apps and my wife got a cocktail. Chared oysters were the size of nickles and not cut from shell so by the time you pull it out you have a portion the size of a tooth. Fried green tomatoes were fine but not seasoned at all. After the appetizers arrived we waited 4 minutes for share plates for them, then my wife's drink arrived.......finished appetizers and a basket of bread and butter came ( table still dirty no plates cleared all glasses empty , my wife's drink and both of our waters ) 10 minutes later the waitress asked if we would like to order entrees. We polity said no and got food elsewhere. Worst experience ever mainly because because even watching the manager running food they honestly thought they were doing well. read more
