We have driven by Sloppy Hog countless times and they've always seemed busy. Yet the reviews contradicted 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. read more

Took the family here for lunch. My wife got the loaded chips, and she was dreaming about them afterwards. I had the smoked wings, and their house sauce with brown sugar and buffalo is fantastic. Boys got some smashburgers and all were so happy. A great little spot with a nice covered deck out back. Definitely recommend, in fact, we ended up going back for dinner! Ask for Zack, he made our evening delightful and fun. read more

"Food was outstanding and the service was exceptional. A local tipped us off to this hidden gem, and we're so glad they did! You absolutely have to try the smothered homemade chips--they're fantastic. The onion rings are to die for, and my chicken sandwich was out of this world. Highly recommend!" If you can sit outside I would also recommend. read more

My husband and I are on our honeymoon and staying right by this restaurant, and we absolutely loved it--especially the view from sitting outside. The food was so good I completely forgot to take pictures! We ordered the fried pickles, their popular pulled pork nachos, and chicken wings--all of it was amazing. We also got burgers, which were just as delicious. The service was super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. We would definitely come back next time we're in town! read more

This was our second time eating here and it is very good! Our server was really attentive and helpful giving us specials that wasn't listed on the menu! He kept our drinks full too! It's a burger joint with Sloppy Joes and pizza too! Both times we've sit outside and enjoyed the beautiful Mountain View's of Wears Valley! We had the spicy cheese curds and I had a sloppy Joe! My fiancée had a big ole burger!!! read more

Sloppy Hog - Menu - Burgers Near Me - Sevierville, Tennessee

Country-style feel with its decorations and down-to-earth atmosphere. The staff are upbeat and genuinely seem to enjoy being there, which makes the service feel extra welcoming. I love that it has that small-town local touch, especially since they co-own another spot nearby, so it feels like you're supporting a place that's really rooted in the community. The back porch has great mountain views, and it's the kind of setting that makes you want to linger a while after eating. The menu is hearty and fun, with burgers, pizzas, and even Sloppy Joes that taste just as good as the ones you remember from childhood. They've recently started offering salads too, which is a nice addition if you want something a little lighter alongside the classics. Portions are generous, onion rings come piled high, and everything feels made with care. Between the friendly energy, cozy décor, and satisfying food, this is the kind of stop that makes a trip memorable. read more

Sandra is awesome! We took her recommendations for our meals. Each dish was better than the last. Sloppy Hog Burger Joint is part of the hillbilly pancake house complex. Plenty of parking for cars, trucks and RVs. Sloppy Hog has an outdoor area that is dog friendly. Your food comes out fast. We got the sloppy Joe smothered homemade chips, the world famous (according to Sandra) onion rings, and the chicken wings. They smoke the wings for three hours before they fry them. They had a very good distinct flavor. The onion rings will become world famous. It was a very thin ring of onion with a light flaky coating. The sloppy Joe smothered homemade chips was delicious. Sandra nailed the description, the savory spicy of the sloppy Joe on top of the crunch of the homemade chips was fabulous. My daughter got the blueberry cider. I got the hillbilly slop. Both were very tasty. Great visit! read more

This was just what we needed after a full day of hiking through the GSMNP. It was a bit busy but well worth a little bit of a wait. Everything was super fresh and we especially loved the cheese curds, they have the perfect bit of kick to them! We found the onion rings a little bit greasy and they did hurt our stomachs a bit but honestly, worth it. Super cute inside, love all of the decor. Plus the ice cream shop right outside is perfect if you're still looking to get some dessert! read more

We were on vacation looking for a good burger joint on the way to drive through the Smoky Mountains and happened upon this place. We had a party of 11, which they accommodated quickly. The service was excellent with a very friendly waitress. All of us enjoyed our food. I'm fairly picky with food, (my wife calls me a food snob). I'm definitely hard to please. My burger- the original, was excellent, great flavorful patties with a super soft bun. Do yourself a favor and get the homemade onion rings, they were wonderful, a nice lite coating of batter with perfect thin sliced onions. We all raved about the place. Also, there is a million dollar view from the back patio where we ate read more

Staying here on vacation and found this great non-tourist local burger,pizza and beer "joint." My kind of place. Our waiter, Micheal, was outstanding he went out of his way for us on with a large group and tired kids. He even gave us some local info on what to see and do. Micheal, was one of the best servers I ever had encountered. Our appetizers, pizzas and burgers were outstanding. Large outside play area for kids. Hope to get back before our vacation is over read more

After reading the rave reviews I was expecting to love the place. The place isn't bad it just was nothing like the rave reviews. My wife and I had the Sloppy Hog Signature burger, fries and onion rings. Burger was overdone and fairly tasteless, nothing special though they were fresh made and lettuce and tomatoes were fresh. Burgers were hot as were the fries and onion rings. Onion rings may have been hand breaded and a good taste though a bit greasy and flimsy though they were tasty. Service was quick but not special in any way. Place is good if you're looking for tourist fare that's quick and hot. Basically it's an average tourist burger place. Not bad if you're just looking read more

Great food great service a perfect pit stop. Had the burger good, onion rings fantastic

We just had dinner here and it was phenomenal. We had the fired pickles and the sloppy joe smothered chips for appetizers. WOW. My wife said she'd come back here just for the sloppy joe chips. My wife had the pulled pork burger and I had the Slop Your Dripper. Excellent on every level. Mine had the perfect amount of bbq sauce relative to the pulled pork. Burger was cooked well. They serve crinkle cut fries with their own house seasoning - so tasty. Tons of parking out front and lots of indoor and outdoor seating. We arrived shortly after 4:30 and tons of seating was available. We sat outside on the covered deck with a perfect view of the green mountains. Service was also excellent. The server we had was incredibly personable and on it. 10/10 recommend; well worth a half hour drive. read more

Sloppy Hog was a little slice of heaven just as you get into Wears Valley. The staff is so friendly and service is always great. They have amazing burgers, pizza and sloppy joes! I recommend the sloppy Joe chips! They offer indoor and outdoor seating. The view is beautiful. read more

Came here with 9 family members after passing by a couple times . Considering it was New Year's Day and crowd of people were in town including us ; the restaurant looked like it was short staffed as two waitresses were serving all the tables . We waited about 30 mins for 9 people and thereafter it got full The real reason this restaurant gets 4 stars is because the food was outstanding . Probably the best bbq style burger I've ever had, and every one was happy with the food . Def worth a shot I'm sure if I visit again service will be better. I ordered wings Fried pickles and chips with pulled pork . All amazing Also tried the cheese pizza , pepperoni pizza and the bbq pizza. All 3 were worth it read more

The service is EXCELLENT and the food is fast, priced right and DELICIOUS! Wish we lived closer so we could become regulars!

Good lord don't order the spicy cheese curds appetizer they are tasty and spicy but they should be ashamed charging $13 dollars for a tiny little serving. Boasts best smash burger. It's nothing special and not a smash burger. Two small hamburger Pattie's that don't even fit the bun. Not terribly priced the crinkle fries are the best part. Only item worth its cost though was the wings. They were large and pretty decent. Not a bad atmosphere and an outdoor patio but overall I can't recommend and wouldn't come back for another round. read more

Amanda was a fantastic server that was attentive but not hovering. The food was spectacular and the ambiance was fun as well.

This was the best stop we've had on our vacation. The atmosphere was calm and chill- such a respite from the hustle and bustle of being in town. Our service was friendly and personal- Priscilla was kind, accommodating and did a fantastic job. The food was top notch- my 6 year old is a pizza critic and gave the pizza 10/10 stars. Wings were cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious, pulled pork chips were great and coleslaw tastes like KFC which is obviously a compliment. This place is a new favorite for us. read more

Came by because we heard they serve Sloppy joes!!! Haven't had one in years! They didn't dissapoint. You get a healthy size portion with a side. And Cole slaw. We chose the onion rings. My friend liked the onion rings. I felt like the onion rings were over seasoned in my opinion. Otherwise, All was good. read more

What a find!! After a day in the Great Smoky Mountains (blissfully disconnected!) we stumbled out of the park right upon this burger/pizza place in Weaes Valley. Hubby and I both had the original smash burgers (double patties) with their homemade onion rings (worth the trip themselves!). Food was delicious, service was EXCELLENT and the staff all appeared to enjoy working there (singing while bussing tables, amazing ). We sat on the back porch with a beautiful view of the mountains (they are also expanding their outdoor seating in August). Definitely recommend stopping! read more

EXCELLENT hamburgers, chicken sandwiches and perfect French fries. One of the best meals I have had. Will definitely be back!

My hubby and I spent the week in the Gatlinburg area; we stayed in an Airbnb off of Wears Valley Road. To avoid the crowds and tourist spots, we tried Sloppy Hog. The food, service, and ambiance were SO GOOD, we came back 2 more times! We initially chose it because they allow dogs. They brought our pups a big bowl of water and almost all the employees that passed them, stopped to visit the pups. They also have a fenced-in area in the back where our pups could be off leash. The pizza is especially delicious! read more

The wings were very good and the sloppy Joe was ok, could have used some brown sugar. Otherwise it was just a lot of hamburger with just ok taste. We did enjoy our meal and the atmosphere. We just decided when we go back we will not pick the sloppy Joe's next time. Service was awesome and the place was clean. Also outside covered seating has an awesome view. We will be back to try the pizza in December on our next trip read more

Food was good! Hot and fresh and didn't take very long. Fried Pickles had a delicious (yet a little salty) batter they were cooked in. They don't have a lot of indoor seating but have a back deck seating area too. Simple menu with a nice variety. Service was great and everyone was very friendly. It's a cute little place tucked away in Wears Valley so it's away from the main drag of tourists. Very clean. They use disposable utensils and cups. Will definitely go back to try something different. read more

We are staying at a short term rental property close to Sloppy Hog. I thought I would swing in and try it out. The burger, reviews and wing reviews all seem to be great, but I wanted to try their loaded homemade chips. They had pulled pork with barbecue sauce and jalapeños on top. It was hard to taste just the pulled pork, but the entire bite of chip, pork, BBQ sauce, and jalapeño was really good. I would recommend it. They brought the bill out, snapped under a rat trap. Funny. However, I'm not sure what the technology fee was that I was paying for at a burger joint. Especially since I paid an additional fee to pay with credit card. read more

We walked in 30 minutes to close. Yes, we know that it's a huge faux pas in the industry. We were planning on getting it to go, or leave, but we wanted to give it a shot because we've been wanting to eat here. Karrie greeted us warmly and encouraged us to stay and eat. She made us feel so warmly welcomed. You would have thought we were regulars. Upon walking in we heard some good music at a perfect decibel for conversation and fun. It's a super casual atmosphere with a hometown feel. Karrie was our amazing server. She didn't make us feel rushed and got our food out quickly. (I'm sure it helped that we got there a half hour to closing. LOL). We started with the fried pickles that came with ranch dressing. Super yummy! My hubby and kid ordered the Sloppy Hog original burgers with homemade onion rings and a side of Cole slaw. They both loved their burgers and onion rings. (Try the onion rings with their yummy ranch dressing. Yum!) Since my kid doesn't like Cole slaw I ate it, and it was delicious! I wasn't super hungry, so I just had a 6 piece order of wings. Wow! Flavorful and juicy! Karrie even offered us dessert. Of course we said yes, but to-go. We got the pecan pie at her suggestion and it did not disappoint. Very rich and delicious. A good stop. Ask for Karrie! read more

Their website and description on yelp say burger joint. But the sign on the building says pizza and wings. So we figured it would be a good pizza spot. Service was good. Friendly. Ambience was cool, not a lot of seats inside but a great outdoor section with a wonderful view. Pizza- terrible. And I mean a grocery store frozen pizza is better. All the dough is frozen and the small pizza is a completely different pizza style than the large. The large pizza dough taste likes cardboard. Wings - we're very tasty Will go back for the burgers because they did look good. read more
