Bennett's Pit Bar-B-Que

Bennett's Pit Bar-B-Que has been a beloved Pigeon Forge institution since 1994, serving authentic Tennessee hickory-smoked barbecue that keeps locals and tourists coming back for more. This family-owned restaurant specializes in slow-cooked perfection, smoking their pork ribs, chicken, pulled pork, and beef briskets over smoldering hickory wood for up to 14 hours. The result is meat that's moist, tender, and bursting with rich, smoky flavor that penetrates deep into every layer. Each dish is basted in Bennett's own special recipe sauce, which is served warm on the side so guests can customize their experience—pour on as much or as little as they like. The signature pinkish hue that graces the meat is a testament to the time-honored smoking process that has made Bennett's a destination dining spot in the Smoky Mountains. Located conveniently on Parkway in the heart of Pigeon Forge, this restaurant offers a casual, welcoming atmosphere perfect for families, couples, and groups exploring the area's countless attractions. With over 7,300 positive reviews and a reputation built on consistency and quality, Bennett's Pit Bar-B-Que delivers an authentic Southern barbecue experience that embodies the traditions of Tennessee's celebrated BBQ culture.
