Southern Comfort Kitchen - Mountain out front - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

Southern Comfort has potential, but on this occasion didn't live up to it. The place has a very nice atmosphere, kind of like a huge hunting lodge with lots of giant timbers and wood everywhere. On a down note, literally, the music was grunge/hard rock. Look, I like to rock with the best of them, but not when I'm trying to enjoy a nice dinner. System of a Down, really?!?! My wife and I both ordered cocktails, a Manhattan and Old Fashioned. Both were solidly good. The food came out quickly with the appetizer and main entree coming out together. A slight faux pas, but okay. The Deviled Egg appetizer was interesting and very good. Our main dish was the BBQ Smokehouse Platter, which we shared. The our waitperson's credit, she told us it was plenty to share, and she was right. It included a half slab of BBQ ribs, a generous heap of pulled pork, and a portion of Andouille Sausage. The whole thing seemed like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for a while. It just didn't seem fresh. The pulled pork was dry and tepidly warm at best. The Andouille was flavorful and had a nice spicy kick. The ribs were actually quite good, easily pulled off the bone, firm yet tender, and full of flavor. Yet, they could have been warmer as well. We had a sampler of three different sauces, all were good, but they were all cold as if they came straight out of the fridge - not good considering the meat wasn't that warm already. Bottom line; this place could've been four or even five stars, but they need to get on the ball and up their game in order to get there. Tonight, they lost the game. read more
