    Smash Burger with bacon
    S S.

    Good Southern Food! Awesome service with a nostalgic vibe. My friends have been telling me to try this place but they're always so busy. Tonight the parking lot was full and we stopped anyway and We were immediately seated. So don't let the parking lot stop you from checking them out!

    We stopped by because it was near our BnB and it was a great choice! I had the catfish special and was able to sub the coleslaw for fried okra and everything was great. The hush puppies are a cornbread base and some of the best hush puppies I've had. My husband got the smash burger with everything on it and he loved it. The staff is also friendly and know the menu so they are able to give actual recommendations based on your preferences! It does get fairly busy so don't be surprised if there's a wait for groups but it's well worth it.

    Ok this place was ON POINT. If you are looking for local vibe, Southern cooking, and reasonable prices, this is the spot. We popped in while on vacation and were welcomed warmly. The service was great, the food was plentiful and delicious, and they made my daughter's day by having rubber ducks for sale at the check out counter! The Mac and cheese was a highlight on my plate along with the meatloaf. I will not pass through town without stopping here again.

    Chubby's is a local gem! Secluded just a few miles off the main parkway, you'll be greeted with excellent service and whopping plates of food, all inside a super casual dining atmosphere, all with great pricing. I started with deep fried deviled eggs, which were egg-cellent, then went for the pork tenderloin sandwich and sadly I was defeated by this behemoth. My tactic was to carve all the edges emerging from the bun and try to eat just the bun portion, still couldn't finish it, and I had at least 3 massive cuts of breaded pork to take home!

    Chubby's is a classic restaurant that offers American comfort food. The great dinner feel of the place is an excellent representation of the bygone era of the traditional dinner. It has a real down home feel. The place offers burgers (Mushroom Swiss, BBQ Burger), sandwiches (Cheesesteaks, Reuben, BLT, Chicken Sandwiches with Ranch/Buffalo options), and hearty baskets with fried chicken, cod, or shrimp, plus breakfast served all day, desserts (chocolate pie!), and options like pork chops or steak. They have someone thing for everyone. Everything is cooked to ordered. We started off with deep fried deviled eggs. My wife had the Beef Stroganoff. While I had the House Smash Burger. The stroganoff is served in a wide, shallow bowl that showcases the sauce's glossy sheen and the generous scatter of sautéed mushrooms. Steam carries a rounded, savory bouquet: beef-forward notes, toasty browned butter, and the faint acid of a finishing touch -- likely a splash of vinegar, wine, or lemon -- that hints the sauce will be bright rather than cloying. The presentation is simple and effective: no unnecessary frills, just clear evidence that plate composition exists to showcase the food's strengths. The sauce is the star: a glossy, velvety emulsion built on a brown stock backbone, enriched with sour cream (or a light cultured cream), and tempered with mustard and a touch of acidity. The mushrooms are properly caramelized, offering an earthy counterpoint and slight chew that complements the tender beef. Onions are present but not intrusive; garlic and a whisper of thyme or parsley frame the dish without flattening the primary flavors. Chubby's pairs the stroganoff with broad egg noodles -- they're al dente-yielding and capture the sauce in their folds, which makes each mouthful a composed, layered bite rather than separate elements awkwardly forced together. The Smash Burger was an equal masterpiece as well. In an era when burgers can feel formulaic and predictable, the SMASH Triple Burger with Chubby Sauce at Chubby's Restaurant stands out not just as a meal, but as a culinary statement, mine was constructed of three thin-pressed beef patties -- each seared to achieve that iconic lace of caramelization -- deliver an intoxicating aroma of grilled beef that primes the palate for something special. The smash technique here isn't a gimmick; it's a masterstroke that intensifies the beef's flavor while maintaining juiciness through every layer, a testament to precise heat management on the griddle. The Chubby Sauce, a house specialty that earns its name with rich, tangy complexity, serves as the burger's soul. It marries creamy umami with a whisper of sweetness and a balanced acidity that cuts through the savory heft of the triple stack. This sauce is not merely a condiment -- it's the architectural glue that binds texture and taste, elevating each bite into a chorus of complementary notes. What makes this experience remarkable was how it balances bold indulgence with thoughtful restraint: the trio of patties makes a statement, yet the burger never feels overwhelmingly heavy. Each layer interacts harmoniously, and the Chubby Sauce is nothing short of inspired -- tangy yet creamy, bold yet nuanced. We topped it all off with pie. My wife had the peanut butter while I opted for the Apple pie was our desert. Dessert at Chubby's often arrives with the quiet confidence of a house specialty, and the both the Apple & Peanut Butter Pie is no exception. If you think you've had every version of apple pie, this one will surprise you. Chubby's Apple Pie is warm, comforting, and brilliantly balanced. The apples are tender and spiced just right, the crust is buttery and flaky. The peanut butter pie has a subtle, savory richness that keeps the dessert from being overly sweet. It's indulgent without being heavy and memorable in the best way. An absolute must-order if you save room for dessert. This was a great dining experience and in a tourist dominated area, this place stands out as real down home cooking that your grandmother made. Highly recommend, this is one the most stop sites if you are in the area.

    The service was an immaculate 11/10! The ambiance is amazing especially if you're a Gen X person. Don't take it too seriously. The food is way over the top and that's the complication. Everything is taken to the nth degree and that's not always great. The deep fried deviled eggs are good but a challenge texturally. The other food was good but a little too much all around. A little overwhelming. Still great and a place I would certainly recommend.

    Our Favorite Tennessee Tradition -- Chubby's Never Disappoints! Just had another amazing meal at our favorite spot in Sevierville! Chubby's has been our go-to tradition every time we vacation in Tennessee for the past 4 years, and we've never had a bad meal here. The food is always incredible, and the service is phenomenal. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by a cozy, homey vibe that immediately makes you feel welcome. The interior has a charming, rustic feel with friendly staff bustling around, and the tables are perfectly spaced so it never feels cramped. It's the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy your meal, and really soak in that warm, local Tennessee atmosphere. The service here is next-level. Our drinks magically appeared without us ever having to ask, and even waitresses who weren't serving our table stopped by to make sure everything was perfect and that we were enjoying our food. It feels like everyone on staff genuinely cares about your experience--they're attentive without being intrusive, and it makes the meal feel extra special. We started with the Fried Green Tomatoes--lightly breaded with a nice peppery kick, and the tomatoes themselves were firm and flavorful. Honestly, one of the best versions I've had! For my entrée, I tried their new Smash Burger, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The beef was moist, perfectly seasoned, and topped with their signature Chubby's sauce that really took it to another level. Hands down, the best burger I've ever had! Their onion rings were delicious as always, but I could only manage one since the burger filled me up so much. My husband went with his all-time favorite: the Fried Pork Tenderloin Sandwich. When I say huge, I mean HUGE--you could easily make two or three sandwiches out of it. The breading is light and crispy, clinging to juicy, tender pork that keeps us coming back every time. Between the warm, inviting atmosphere, the amazing food, and the magically attentive staff, Chubby's feels like more than just a restaurant--it's part of our vacation tradition. We truly can't talk this place up enough. If you ever find yourself in Sevierville, do yourself a favor and stop at Chubby's. Amazing food, generous portions, and the friendliest staff--it's everything you want in a hometown favorite

    Fried deviled eggs!
    Chris S.

    It's located along Dolly Parton Parkway and has a large sign out front. It's easy to find and get into the smaller than expected parking lot. Still, there was plenty of parking with wide traffic lanes to get into and out of the spaces. Leaving the parking lot can be problematic, especially if you want to turn left at rush hour. Still, there are clear sight lines, so take your time and you won't have any issues. There are handicapped parking spaces right in front of door. Access is easy, although you need to go around several statues/ art pieces which certainly make a fun and interesting walk into the restaurant. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and seated right away. Seating is a mix of tables and booths. We had a booth near the back but there is plenty or natural and artificial lighting throughout the seating area. Our server took our drink order as we were seated. The drinks came quickly and we asked for more time to look over the extensive menu. We were ready in a few minutes and our server came back without prompting. Our appetizers took about five minutes to arrive. The fried deviled eggs are amazing. The egg white part is deep fried with a thin crispy coating, then the typical egg yolk mix is added. The appearance and taste combination is excellent, and this appetizer is a must order. We also tried the fried pickles as one of our dining party is a connoisseur. The pickles are cut as spears instead of chips. The extra thickness seems to allow for more pickle flavor and some moistness compared to the typical chips. The accompanying dipping sauce was pleasantly spicy and an excellent accompaniment to the pickles. Our connoisseur pronounced them some of the best she has eaten. The Reuben sandwich was a last minute decision and turned out to be an excellent choice. The corned beef was flavorful and moist without being greasy, the sauerkraut had a slight tang, and the thousand island dressing gave the right balance of sweetness. The marbled rye bread was toasted and held up to the weight of the sandwich. This was an unexpected delight. The burger was another hit. The meat was fresh, moist, and flavorful, the toppings fresh and crisp, and the bun soft without falling apart. The sides of fries and onion rings were cooked perfectly and were provided in a generous amount. Our server was attentive without being intrusive. It is obvious the staff has a lot of experience and knows how to treat customers right. We even met the owner who was checking on customers and took the time to talk to everyone. Chubby's is a must-stop location any time you are even near the area. Treat yourself and take the time to stop for a meal. You deserve it.

    Good local diner with down home food. It's not a fancy place, and doesn't try to be, but provided quality food at affordable prices. Burgers are really good and their country fried steak was excellent per the wife. Staff was very friendly and restaurant appeared to be clean. Inside you'll find typical wood booths and tables. Would definitely visit again.

    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.
