We stopped in here on our recent trip to the area as it has an outdoor dog friendly patio option and we were traveling with our Frenchie. It took a bit for our server to come acknowledge us but once he did, he was very helpful and attentive. My boyfriend ordered a peach Kentucky mule (they originally said they couldn't make that, which we questioned with it being a distillery, but our server came back and said they could after all). He enjoyed it and said it's one of the better ones he's had! We both ordered smash burgers and sweet potato fries - I had the junction 35 (pimento cheese + bacon jam) and he had the farmhouse (bacon + fried egg). Both were amazing! Juicy burgers, perfect size patties for smash burgers, the buns were fresh and held up nicely, and the toppings were great. Sweet potato fries had a great crunch and were seasoned really well. Service was great, food was high quality and had great flavor, and the dog friendly patio was perfect for our pup. It's located in a nice little strip of shops and restaurants, and has a common area of cornhole and other games that would be fun for an activity before/after dinner, or if you have kids in tow. We'd definitely make another trip here when in the area. read more

We did a tasting with a group of 10 people and was able to ask about it not being at the bar as I did one before at a sugarlands and it was a different set up. They were able to accommodate us almost immediately. This was a free tasting so tips were suggested. We did go to the bar and grabbed a few additional samples that were not offered prior. We did get food with a smaller group. It took an hour to get our main meal and luckily we ordered appetizers to help with the wait. Both the fried pickles and brisket nachos were delicious. I ordered the shrimp and grips and it also did not disappoint. I would return on a non holiday weekend if I visit this town again. read more

No wait. Service was quick. Food was good. Server was wonderful. Parking lot is tight and small. We had to circle a few times to get a spot. I got a side salad with tots and cheese. The bigger salads were monstrous but delicious. read more

Location-Pigeon Forge Price - I found it reasonable, they do have a sign upfront that states 20% gratuity is added. Service - waitress was fantastic well worth the 20% added. Food - Mac Daddy burger for 14.99 was the best dish followed by the Beef Tip Stacker for 19.99. The Tennessee Brisket Dip Sandwich came in last being just ok. Firecracker shrimp lacked spice. Cheese Curds got high marks from the group. It was refreshing to get food HOT from the kitchen. We found that the merchandise was very well priced at the store. Take your restaurant recipe next store to get a discount on a tasting. Highly recommended. Tasting are low priced anyway so if you just want to taste the adult beverages go for it. read more

Great food, great service, amazing atmosphere! Our wait was about 30 minutes when given a 1hr time frame. So I'd wait it out if you truly want to try this place. It's worth it. The food, from the appetizers to the drinks, was really great. Our waitress was wonderful, kept our drinks full and made sure our checks were separated correctly. (2 families) The highlights for me were the fried pickles and nachos, everything we ordered was wonderful but those were top notch. Even my pickle hating husband liked the fried pickles. The nachos were a huge serving for just one so it was shared and everyone liked them. Great flavor and heat. The drinks were strong but goooooood. We had a few and liked them all. Great place to atleast try once read more

We went here for a quick dinner one night while in Sevierville and Gatlinburg. The restaurant was large and had great service. The food was ok. The brussel sprouts were the best item I had. My friends did enjoy the flights. They said it was worth the price. The music was the best part for me. I would return to try a different dish. read more

Went back on a Monday evening, was seated immediately! I ordered a water per usual... my boyfriend ordered soda! Umm they were out of carbonation for sodas. Anyhow the waitress described a delicious sounding pineapple IPA. She forgot the sample after being reminded 3 times and it turned out to be a cider not an IPA. She was really slack in every area unfortunately and I wish I remembered her name. But food was delicious as always! Enjoyed the fried green tomatoes for appetizer. I had the new smoked sausage sandwich with onions and peppers and stoned ground mustard which I wish I had added it on the side! Boyfriend had a smash burger with fries and Pimento cheese grits which were good but we wished they were creamy! Laid back with a I could party but I'm here to chill too! read more

We stopped in for dinner and sat at the bar with Brittney. She is a very hard worker! The food was amazing, I loved the smoked chicken wings. Brittney recommended great sauce choices that were excellent. The chicken sandwich and burgers were amazing as well, but I did not take a photo. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend read more

Went here last weekend for a tasting and lunch. The tasting was delightful and just required a tip. The person performing the tasting was super knowledgeable and welcoming. The restaurant was not busy, but they seem to have a shortage of servers and so we were seated at the bar. The bartender was very kind but slammed. My partner got wings and they brought them over before I got my salmon salad. We could see the salad sitting on the line for 15+ minutes before we were able to fly somebody down to get it so by then it was cold. They did takeoff a part of the cost of the salad so I appreciated that. I think it would've tasted wonderful hot, but it was mediocre cold. Overall, a great place to stop and while they have room for improvement, it was still a delightful lunch read more

My wife and I were shopping at the outlets and saw the Junction 35 and decided to give it a try. Was not busy so we went in. Only ones in line to be seated. We stood there for 5 minutes and no one looked our way. Only employee we saw was the bartender. We tried to give this restaurant a shot but not one person said anything so we left and I'm writing this in the parking lot. read more

We came here on a Saturday as a group of 6 and were seated right away. The service was great and so was the food. The food did take a little while but as busy as they were I was not surprised. Everything was good. It is a little pricey but being located where it is, it's probably par for the course. It is one of the better options in pigeon forge for sure. read more

Wendy our Red Haired Waitress was terrific. Helpful and knew about GF. Brisket French dip, fries, Brussels sprouts, pulled port Mac and cheese were all very good. We got a gift card while here for someone else. We be happy. Will be back. read more

I have visited this restaurant twice now and unfortunately the second visit wasn't as good as the first! The food wasn't prepared as well as the first time and the Bam Bam martini I had the year before was no longer on the menu - actually only one cocktail included the Bam Bam vodka which is surprising since it's a best seller. We did eat outside and with a big group the second time which might have contributed to the difference in service compared to the first time. I like that they still offer a discount in a tasting with receipt of eating at the restaurant and I will still give them another chance, but I do hope it improves next year since it was such a highlight the time before! read more

We came in for dinner after a day at Dollywood. The place is very open with a lot of seating, unfortunately we had enough of loud children due to our day at the theme park so the moved us outside after we asked. I got an original Smashburger with a side of sweet potato fries. The burger was pretty good and so were the fries. Being outside helped. We went to the distillery after the meal and had some great tastings with the help of Rusty our pourer. I ended up buying a very nice Rye and had some the next day....smooth. read more

Not impressed with this place for the food. My pretzel bites were so oily and soaked in butter I had to dry each of them out with a napkin before I could eat them. I couldn't finish them, made my stomach sick. Not many selections for their draft beers. I settled on a brown ale that was pretty good. Service was great though. Very accommodating. After a day of being around screaming children at Dollywood we were sat by a table full of more screaming kids lol, and asked to be moved which they completely understood. Outside of this restaurant is a big field for kids to play, so that means parents dump them there and come here to drink. That also means the kids come in and out on their own so expect that on a Saturday night. Now if you go to the other side for the whiskey and moonshine tastings, and if you're into that, then you'll love this place so I added an extra star for that part. The pourers were really into education of their products and they were nice gentlemen. Especially Rusty! My boys ended buying a few bottles of Rye and whiskey. read more

The atmosphere and food were top notch. Service was great, and they will text you if there's a wait and you are out on their list. Tons of shops and a full tasting room to browse while you wait for your turn to dine. The wings were wonderful, and the fries were unimpressionable. The side salad was 7.99 and could have been more filling with croutons and toppings. Overall, it's a bit pricey and there's room to improve on portion size, but still a decent meal. Check it out read more

We came here late at night. The Mac Daddy burger was a hit for sure. The bacon jam really made the burger. The server was friendly and prompt. The decor is nice and modern. Would go back again for a burger and fries. We didn't try the liquor. But our Pepsi was flat. read more

great drinks, great food, great service. a more quiet vibe from other restaurants in pigeon forge. they also have a little shop and offer tastings. we've been here multiple times solely for their blackberry wings as they are our favorite wings in the smokies. the brussel sprouts were are also worth mentioning as they were delicious. the bam bam vodka they offer is something you should try if you like the taste of fruity pebbles. would definitely come back again and recommend this place. read more

Interior was very nice, and that is where the good remarks end. Service was extremely poor. Was seated on the bar side of the restaurant so that meant the bar tender was our waitress, however there was a pretty full bar so she was not very attentive. After being told everything was pretty much made from scratch in house. We had high expectations. We ordered two smash burgers one with loaded fries one with plain fries. Burgers took an extremely long time to be served. One burger was supposed to have sautéed onions, it did not. Both burgers were to have a sauce, neither did. Neither burger was hot, they were warm at best. They also were not smash burgers. They weee thin chargrilled. That or they were just burnt. The fries were also cold, but the loaded fries were inedible since the cheese and toppings were even colder than the fries. We were hopping for a good burger and were very disappointed. Avoid! read more

Visiting the area and decided to try this place. Sat at the bar and took a moment to be greeted. (long bar and we were at a far end) Order a couple of drinks and an appetizer. Did the pretzel bits and they were good. Main dishes was Chicken sandwich & strawberry fields salad. Salad looked great as it was made perfectly. Wife said sandwich was tasty. Place was busy but plenty of room to sit. read more

Wonderful service from Ray; she was kind, patient and handled our table of 7 with ease. We all enjoyed our time here. Cheese curds-- great balance of breading and cheese; tasty with or without sauce Black and bleu burger-- well cooked and flavorful; it could've used a little more sauce & cheese but good overall Toffee bundt cake -- I got this to go. It was so good that I forgot to take pictures. It was fluffy and every bit of delicious that I hoped for when reading the description. read more

Went in and started off with firecracker shrimp. It was amazing so we were both excited to order. We ordered and unfortunately the meal I ordered was out of stock, which we were informed about 10 min after we ordered. This was what I had my mind set on so I had a hard time picking a back up. Well my husbands burger came out and they brought me my mashed and broccoli. I was more than half done before my chicken came out. It was just ok, the chicken was a bit dry and the bbq sauce VERY sweet. My husband said his burger was "decent". The place was clean, staff and manager super nice. I don't blame them for running out of something, stuff happens. Just felt timing and taste could have been better. read more

Horrible experience. Both meals were wrong and cold. Our beyond burger had bacon, which seemed shady and on purpose since it obviously wouldn't come with bacon. The second meal was completely wrong. To top it all off, the staff was rude. I would avoid this location if you have food allergies, dietary requirements, and expect staff to be decent. read more

This a really fun spot for tourists and locals! There's a large parking lot for this plaza with many things to do including eating at Junction 35 spirits. The kids will enjoy a cute little train that goes around the courtyard. You can play cornhole and watch fun events around you prior to going to eat or shop. We arrive for dinner on the early side and we're seated right away. Although we didn't partake in any of the spirits, we did get some burgers for the table. Our waitress was Karen. She was very efficient and pleasant. I ordered the classic burger with lettuce , tomato, pickles, and American cheese. It came with a side of fries, which were very good and not overly seasoned. The one complaint I have about my Smashburger was it was dry and didn't taste fresh. The experience itself was delightful with games being played on different TVs And a beautiful wall by the bar with bottles and bottles of their famous distilled products. read more

This was such a fun experience from start to finish. Our server was fantastic and gave great food recommendations, and we were treated to a complimentary tasting since it's the first distillery/restaurant in Knoxville. I had the grilled shrimp skewers and the Nashville hot chicken both solid choices while the cheese curds ended up being the star of the menu. The tasting included nine different samples and was a blast, made even better by a friendly and engaging bartender. I enjoyed it so much I left with a bottle of their house Bam Bam Vodka, and the Bloody Mary was also a standout. Great food, great drinks, and a lively, welcoming atmosphere! read more

Junction 35 has two locations, one in Mountain mile behind the island in pigeon Forge and another in the outlet mall complex in Sevierville. Junction 35 is a combination, brewery and restaurant all in one. If you have dinner, you'll receive a free tasting afterwards. If you do a tasting, the cost is five dollars however they do give you a coupon for five dollars off your meal. I wish I could give this place five stars, but I have to give it four because consistently the service is not great. They are consistently understaffed., which intern causes drinks to not be refilled and food to be served cold. They do have a rather expensive menu and there is something on there for everyone. We have tried everything from appetizers to burgers to salmon to steak. I only wish our food had been served warm in order to give a better review however, the food did taste delicious and since we are local, we ended up taking it home and warming it up later. We do love some of their spirits that they offer. They have a full bar which you can order their cocktails, and they do only serve their spirits there with their cocktails, which is something I do appreciate seeing that they do make the spirits and sell them. I personally love the Bam Bam vodka, which taste straight up like fruity pebbles and it is so delicious!!! I do recommend trying them out ! read more

Stopped in at Junction 35 Spirits and the food was honestly better than I expected. I had the French dip sandwich and it was --tender, flavorful, and the au jus was perfect. The fries were fresh and cooked just right, no soggy stuff. Also tried the egg roll and it was way better than you'd think coming from a distillery menu--crispy, packed with flavor, and definitely worth ordering again. Overall, solid spot. Good food, good drinks, cool vibe. I'd go back for sure. read more

Sides good, sausage decent, brisket dry and tasteless. No baked bbq beans on the menu was disappointing for a southern bbq joint. Service was amazing and very attentive. Food priced right for that area but overpriced for what you get. There's so much better in PF. Put a little more effort into your food and not so much into the liquor and merch display. read more

We had dinner here 2 time while in Pigeon Forge. The first night was really busy and had a bit of a wait Thursday night. Then Friday was a wait but not too bad. We had such great service by Julio Thursday that we requested him again Friday. Both times exceeded our service expectations as he is always on point. The food, I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars. My Nashville chicken sandwich wasn't hot like I thought but the fries were really good. Good burgers too. The second time I came I ordered shrimp skewers with loaded mashed potatoes. Shrimp and rice was good but the potatoes taste like instant and I do not like that. The drinks were really good too. We tried a shot of their Bam Bam and I'll say it's something you should try once. After dinner we went to their complimentary tasting since we ordered an entrée. Really cool staff and great tasting Moonshine. Apple pie was my fav and I ordered a bottle. The vibes here are great and of you are in the area, you should definitely go. read more

The wait was not bad at all. We were seated and ordered food. We also wanted to try one of the soaksty drinks but unfortunately they were out of their blackberry moonshine which knocked off at 3 different drinks that were on our list to try. Once we ordered it took forever for the drinks and food to come out. It was a bit distracting but we got through it. When we got our food the order was wrong. We were given mashed potatoes instead of the grits that we ordered. When we asked for the grits to be supplied the entire table finished eating all their food before the grits came out. Our waitress was also discussing with multiple tables about how her whole family is sick with Covid and the flu. Probably not wise conversation to have while serving us our food. Over all the food was good just which the service was a little better. The best part about all of it was the tasting session after you eat. We walked away with 3 new bottles of what will probably be my favorite whiskeys forever! There was good music playing and bathrooms were clean. read more

Stopped in after a day of hiking. The selection of food was well rounded for everyone's flavor buds. The service was fast and attentive.

This is by far one of the best places I've ate at of the newer restaurants if you are tired of all the home cooking meals and want to venture out this place is the best.

This was our first visit to Junction 35. Everything was amazing! Our server was polite and prompt (they were VERY busy). The food came out hot and cooked to perfection.

Very nice interior and waitress was very nice. Waited approx 90 minutes for a table on Saturday night. The cheese curds came out cold and the smash burgers were good but nothing special. The fries were also lukewarm and the burgers took approx 45 minutes to be served from when we ordered. read more

Man, I was really disappointed in this place! I called to place an order because their website didn't have the option (despite the automated message saying they do). A guy answered the phone very unfriendly and said we'd have to wait a few minutes before we can place an order and put us on hold. We waited exactly 10 minutes and the phone went back to the main menu so we had to call again. We called, someone else answered and was in a hurry, told us to wait a few minutes and put us on hold. 8 minutes later, I gave up and decided to go somewhere else. 18 minutes waiting for someone to help us place an order is ridiculous. It sucks because I had this place saved in my tabs and was excited to enjoy some hamburgers during my birthday weekend. Huge let down. read more

I ordered the junction 35 burger and it was fantastic. It is a large Burger so be prepared. The fries were super crispy just the way I like them. Our wait was a minimum and the area was nice and clean. I will say I always order water when I go to a restaurant and this was by far the worst water I have ever put in my mouth. Not even a lemon wedge would mask that horrible taste. read more
