    I think my smile tells the story

    What a wonderful surprise this place was. We turned around /thought our map was wrong when we pulled into a gas station parking lot.... But then smelled the burgers and are so glad we found it!!!! These burgers were sooooo good, staff over the top friendly / helpful, and was just a great interesting experience. I hope to return!!!

    If you like good burgers and are in Sevier Co get ready for Meek's new permanent Location. They are in the Marathon gas station across from the big Walmart. Daniel and his Son are cranking out delicious and affordable gormet double smashburgers. They have several triple smashes too that add balance in an otherwise healthy week. I have tried the Oklahoma, Big Boy Bacon and A1 Smokehouse. Truly, this burger is so good, it doesn't even need fries. They do call ahead orders and this is a two man show so it gets busy, They have a few seats to sit and eat. Great people cranking out some outstanding burger smashes. Get in here and see what the fuss is about. Oh and get your girlfriend the fries.

    Double smash burger with whole sliced onions as a bun replacement and cold potato salad

    Amazing food I love the hot potato salad but think the cold potato salad is weird since it's just sour cream based. The burgers are always flavorful and good I got mine with whole sliced onions as my bun and it was fabulous!!! They don't offer it on the menu but I would highly recommend they start doing onion and lettuce for bun replacements for people who don't eat gluten and such. Wait time is LONG they're super busy and crammed into a little marathon they definitely need their own restaurant to keep up with the business they get. We waited an hour for 2 burgers we called in and it was a 30 minute wait time. So definitely something to take into consideration. But for the price and quality of food it was well worth the wait if you have time. I'm a local in the area and would love to go here more often but right now TikTok is blowing them up! Hopefully they get a better place soon, they deserve all the hype!

    The owner is very personable. The business started in a food truck and then took over a historical buger spot. I personally think they are doing the spot justice. This is NOT your quick burger pick up: this man is portioning, cooking, and setting up the burgers TO ORDER. making what you get hot and delicious. Made with the love of a man who really seems to enjoy feeding his community and its visitors. The grill holds liike 16 patties and all the burgers are at minimum 2 patties so you do the math on how many he can cook at one time. The grilled potato salad is loaded with red potatoes, cheese, bacon, and chives then pressed in the grill. The burgers are smash burgers and have a beautiful crunch all around the outside. The bun is heated on the grill then given to his son who takes the care of a master artist putting all the ingredients for what his patron has ordered. The burgers were juicy and the patties have FLAVOR! I suggest bringing your patience as they get busy but all worth it in the end. Fries are cooked to order. Don't eat beef no worries they have chicken burgers too. So get over yourself and get a delicious burger from the gas station.

    Words honestly don't do it justice. This place deserves to be highlighted, underscored, and shouted from the rooftops. The best smash burger on the planet. Quality ingredients, amazing people, and everything you love about a true local small business. Take a bow, Meeks Kitchen!

    This is a hidden gem! If you've been searching for the ultimate smash burger, then THIS is the place! This is our go-to place when craving a burger. Burgers are flavorful and well cooked, seasoned fries are delicious, locally made cheesecakes are decadent, and the owner and his family are a pleasure to speak with. Don't forget to add an egg to any burger! And don't let this location or the prices fool you...these are gourmet burgers! Fill up your gas tank and your belly at one stop. It will be your go-to spot for burgers and you'll be looking forward to your next visit before you've left the parking lot. We can't recommend Meeks enough!

    This food truck was parked at hubby's work, in Newport TN. Since most the areas restaurants are closed due to Helena's damage, this was a godsend for the area. This is on their facebook, page. Farm raised grass fed beef! Gourmet burgers, artfully crafted and have an upscale vibe. We are family owned and operated., creating our rig from the ground floor up. We take pride in great food from high quality ingredients. Hubby got the Black & Blue. With blackened seasoning, crumbled blue cheese, 57 sauce, crispy onions, chipotle aioli,spring mix, tomatoes. And it comes with seasoned crinkle seasoned fries. He said it was delicious, juicy, tastefully done.

    Always excellent food, when you go be prepared, they stay busy but get the food to you pretty quick. It is in a gas station so there is limited seating. It's fun to watch the owner and his kids work the grill! Great place and you have to try the loaded grilled potato salad if it's not sold out when you go!! The big boy gourmet burger is excellent but I've tried most of them and everything excellent!! For desert get the homemade cheese cake from La Creme

    The Outlaw and grilled loaded potato salad

    Amazing burgers! Heard about this place from a friend and it does not disappoint. Love the grilled loaded potato salad too! Everything is hot and fresh. Owner/workers are all super polite and do a great job. I love supporting this local business. They need a standalone store. They would do very well!

    A1 Steakhouse
    Chloe M.

    Great fresh smashburgers. Was not a fan of my burger (A1 Steakhouse) because there wasn't enough aioli and the lettuce/tomato really dominated the flavor. My husband had the Oklahoma and it was great! Overall good burgers and the bacon is super thick cut.

    We had heard about their burgers on Facebook. We stopped by while enjoying our vacation. We got a couple of burgers and they were very good and high quality. Definitely will be back when we're back in Pigeon Forge.

    BBQ Steer Burger with Hot Potato Salad

    I seen this place thanks to a YouTuber I watch and wanted to try it. We were definitely glad we did. The young man at the counter was so polite, friendly, helpful and overall a nice kid. The loved the burgers plus the Cajun fries and hot potato salad. We came back the next day and the food was on point again. Customer service is great from everyone and food was so good. We end up going on the last two days we were in town or might have went everyday. Prices are very affordable and worth every penny(well I guess nickel now). We come every year and now this will be a must.

I got the lunch special, which came with one pork chop. I polished it off. I believe the dinner entree comes with two! Luckies! The fried green tomatoes were also awesome, and so was the shrimp and grits which was a "lighter" version with the veggies and tomato base in the grits. The lunch specials are a steal and a healthy portion size too. Available every day 11am-4pm. Complimentary freshly baked bread served warm upon request. We had high hopes for the pies and ordered the seasonal lemonade pie. It was meh. We would pass on this one. Heather was our server and she was great! We walked in around 3pm on a Saturday and were told it'd be maybe a ten minute wait but then got a text as soon as we sat down that a table was ready! There's a free parking lot in the Old Mill area and overflow parking down the street too. GET THE PORK CHOP!

I provided all my information to the host James and confirmed my time of arrival and when to be expected as we had a party of 9 and their website would not allow us to reserve or wait with any party above 8. Upon arrival 10 minutes early. We were fed some bogus misleading explanation on the difference between a reservation and wait list by the host aka Manager In Training James or Jimmy, while taking our information again. The incompetence and service of the James was horrible. Change jobs you are horrible as a host finding out hes the manager in training makes it worse. He had the kitchen manager Drew come out to speak with me and he was very understanding. James or Jimmy you are a bad manager in training. Kitchen manager Drew even recalled us making the reservation and James could not own up to the fact he didn't do his job as he said over the phone you'd take care of us. During our wait and visit after becoming verbally irrate with me and securing an actual manager. He avoided us.

We were greeted and seated promptly in a lovely little alcove near their patio, the perfect spot for old friends catching up. Our server, Olivia, was phenomenal, offering insight and recommendations into their seasonal menu items. We started with cocktails and appetizers. We loved the Roasted Beet Salad and Crab Bisque. Deee-licious! We then moved on to our entrees: Filet mignon (prepared Medium) w/caramelized onions & garlic mashed potatoes. The filets were seasoned and cooked perfectly - melt in your mouth, oh soooo good! Prime rib steak sandwich with caramelized onions & melt cheese. Opted for a side of grilled zucchini instead of fries. Also a big hit with our friend. I chose the night's feature dish of halibut and couscous. Nicely prepared and delicious. Though we didn't have room for dessert, once Olivia brought the dessert tray by, we quickly made room! My husband chose the Blueberry Bread Pudding. Of course I had to taste! I'm typically am not a fan of bread puddings due to being heavy and somewhat gummy! This one was absolutely light, and yummy allowing the blueberries to shine. Our friends shared the NY cheesecake with fresh strawberries. Also, light, fluffy and delicious! I chose the key lime pie with toasted coconut sprinkled on top. Incredibly good with light tartness though I prefer more tart. Still, it ranks up there as one of the best I've found. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the cocktails, food, ambiance, decor, and our server, Olivia. Ample portions, reasonable/comparable pricing, and delicious/creative menu. Bravo, Seasons 101! Bravo!! P.S. They also have a lovely outdoor dining area, if you so desire.

For once in Pigeon Forge, I have ate something that actually tasted distinguishable. If you blind-folded me and had me take a bite out of different burgers from different burger joints, I could guess this one with no hesitation. However, one notable throw-off i had was that the burger had a weird aftertaste of tuna. I ordered the smash burger and it had the perfect amount of grease that doesn't drench you, but keeps up with freshness and taste. And the reason I wanted to write this review was for the french fries. Tired of soggy fries? This place puts the FRY in french fries. They maintained a delicious level of crunch and crisp (if that's your gusto) and didn't have that same refrigerator taste. I also ordered cheese curds and they had the most amazing cheese pull and tasted great! The service was excellent too, unlike some servers, they don't abandon you and they keep up with you and refills / clearing the table. If there's anything I appreciate more, it's waiters and waitresses that (even if they don't) act like they cherish their job! And if you yearn for a setting that makes you in the mood for adventure.. or a bear lover.. this place has attracting visuals so you aren't trapped in a minimalist setting. Overall, if you're up for trying new flavors and advancing your taste buds' vocabulary, I recommend The Fat Bear Family Tavern!
