    Pot Roast Sub
    Lovely M.

    Tucked in the corner side of The Shops Of Pigeon Forge, is this family owned deli with homemade sandwiches and bread. This is a hidden gem. Cozy and a good small sized area for a quick bite! All the staffs are very welcoming and thoughtful. We ordered their infamous Reuben and Pot Roast sandwiches as well as their Italian Beef, Cheesesteak and Roast Beef sandwiches. All of them are flavorful and delicious. They recommend getting the half sized sandwiches since they are pretty big. Don't forget to try their parmesan garlic pretzels - so yummy! Definitely a place to remember if ever we come back in this side of TN.

    The food here is wonderful! The roast beef sub is amazing!!! But you cannot leave without getting a pretzel! The shop is very small inside but you might get to sit outside if it's nice! They are pretty quick with getting orders ready!

    Hayden and The Italian Sub

    These are the best sandwiches you'll have here in Pigeon Forge! The Hayden and the Italian sandwiches are truly out of this world! The pretzel was also awesome! The staff is so kind and smiling and the food was very quick. I just wish we lived close to this place!

    We stopped in after a local had recommended this. We love eating local. Let me tell you, this was THE BEST I've EVER had. Our whole trip, this was the most delicious, flavorful sandwhich. DONT even get me started about the pretzel. MY GOODNESS. crispy and so soft. My mouth is watering thinking about it! The staff was SO kind and happy. We loved the whole experience. And we will be back, and telling everyone we know about this place!

    Restaurant is clean with minimal indoor seating but seating is available outside also. The sandwiches here are great! The service could have been a little bit more friendly. I would recommend this to someone in the area looking for a good deli sandwich

    Not only were the sandwiches, absolutely delicious, it was such a wonderful family atmosphere! The ladies who work there were great and giving suggestions and the sandwiches were huge. I will 100% go back and recommend this place for any one awning a great, local spot.

    While visiting the outlets, a local recommended this small sandwich shop to us. His recommendation was spot on as we loved everything that we ordered. The ladies making the sandwiches were super friendly and helped us decide what to order. All of the bread and pretzels are made fresh in house. The pot roast sandwich was the favorite of the two sandwiches, but the Italian was super tasty and juicy as well. We got 1/2 sandwiches so we could try the pretzels, but let me tell you, the 1/2 sandwich is a ton of food. We were both full before we even started the pretzels. The pretzels were really good and we ordered the small ones which were HUGE. Small indoor eating area with cute little lights strung across the seating. A few picnic tables outside as well. Highly recommend if you are In the area. It is back in the corner of a shopping center and therefore can't be seen from the road, but trust me, it's worth visiting.

I ordered the traditional schnitzel (pork cutlet that was pounded thin). It was not breaded, but it was coated with egg and flour and prepared well. I had the German potato salad and red cabbage side orders. Both were served warm as is custom. I was a bit upset that the waiter gave me the bill when the meal was finished. I told him it was my birthday and that I had wanted coffee and cake. He took the bill and crumpled it in his hand. The portion of cake that he presented could have easily served three! I left the top frosting. The chocolate cake was moist and the frosting between the layers was German chocolate. Available seating offerings were a booth, table, or a table al fresco. It had the beer garden appeal. I opted to sit inside. The restaurant is also very family oriented (as are most things in Pigeon Forge). Prices were reasonable, food was served at the correct temperature, portions were prodigious. The venue was also immaculate. I would recommend this tavern to anyone who appreciates German fare.

When I had to flag her down and mentioned we wanted dessert like apple studel waitress, she spun and walked to kitchen but didn't ask if wanted anything else, dropped off updated bill with 1 strudel on it before dessert landed then never saw that waitress again... eventually bar tender came over to take our credit card.

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.

The Caesar salad was fresh and tasty. The loaded chips were good, but all of the toppings were piled onto one section of the plate, leaving the majority of the chips plain and a little bland. For our entrées, we ordered the Ribeye, Old Forge Pecan Fried Chicken, Burgers, and the Chicken Pot Pie. The standout of the meal was definitely the chicken pot pie. It tasted just like my grandmother's homemade recipe and was comforting, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Be sure to save room for dessert! Their dessert selection is extensive, and the coconut pie was fantastic. One of the best parts of visiting is simply the setting. The outside of the restaurant is beautifully landscaped with colorful flowers and lush greenery, making it a charming place to walk around before or after your meal.

But if you're looking for a sandwich that consists of chicken tenders between two glazed donuts, then this is your place. Sawyer's has other things that are not so county-fair forward. They are known for breakfast: French toast, pancakes, omelettes. If you get pancakes or waffles or the like, you should definitely ask for their house-made peanut butter syrup. It's amazing and so unlike anything that I've ever tasted. I got an omelette, which was good and had a lot of stuff in it. They will give you hot sauce upon request, which I was grateful for because I thought the omelette needed it. One thing that's really cool about Sawyer's is that they seem to take food allergies very seriously. That's always nice to see! As you're entering or exiting, make sure to admire the decor. It looks like you're in a barn, and as you exit, there's a gift shop with stuffed animals, t-shirts and other things to commemorate your visit to Sawyer's. This is a fun little place that's great for families, for sure.

After joining the waitlist online before driving to the restaurant, we were seated immediately upon arrival at a high top in the bar area. I enjoyed the chill vibe. Our server was attentive, friendly, and helpful. I ordered the Hawaiian Ribeye. Our server said it was his favorite thing on the menu and I could see why. The steak was cooked perfectly. It was marinated in pineapple ginger sauce and then basted with teriyaki. It was absolutely juicy and delicious. I highly recommend this steak, which rivals the steaks at any of those over-priced steakhouses. The steak came with a salad and I chose the house lemon dressing. I continue to dream about this creamy, slightly salty dressing. They should definitely bottle it and sell it! I chose a baked sweet potato for a side and it was huge and unfortunately not cooked through, but I enjoyed the fully cooked parts. My husband ordered the Killin Me Burger, a full pound of meat with onion straws and thousand Island dressing on a brioche bun. He said it was the best burger he's ever had and my man knows his burgers! The bun was struggling, so my only suggestion is a sturdier bun. A really magnificent meal at a fun place!
