Top 3 BBQ Restaurants to Enjoy the Best Barbeque in Gatlinburg

CategoriesRestaurants in gatlinburg

One of the best parts about a vacation to Gatlinburg is the opportunity to sample some of the tasty local barbeque recipes! There are several restaurants in Gatlinburg where you can experience Southern barbeque at its finest, ranging from delicious pulled pork to ribs where the meat practically falls right off the bone! Here are the top 3 BBQ restaurants where you can enjoy the best barbeque in Gatlinburg:

1. Bennett’s Pit BBQ

Experience hickory-smoked perfection at Bennett’s Pit BBQ, which has been locally owned and operated for more than 26 years! The restaurant features ribs, chicken, pulled pork and beef briskets that are basted in their own special sauce before being placed over smoldering hickory wood. After being smoked for up to 14 hours, the heat and sauce penetrate deep inside each layer of meat for a juicy taste of rich and smoky flavor! Many folks who vacation in the Smokies each year have made dining at Bennett’s Pit BBQ an annual tradition, so be sure to see for yourself what the hype is all about!

Another great place to sample the best barbeque in Gatlinburg is at Bones BBQ Joint! This popular restaurant prides itself on offering the type of real barbeque that you used to watch your father and grandfather make in the backyard! The cooking process at Bones BBQ Joint has been developed and perfected through four generations to create a delicious flavor of meat. The menu features daily favorites such as Billy Bob’s Rib Dinner and Ma’s Two Combo Dinner, as well as traditional meals such as a Pulled Pork Dinner and the Beef Brisket Dinner. Don’t forget to taste some of the Mountain Munchies, including Hillbilly Hushpuppies and Papa’s Brunswick Stew!

3. Delauder’s Smoky Mountain BBQ

Delauder’s Smoky Mountain BBQ is the true definition of a small family-owned BBQ joint with outstanding food! The friendly staff at this restaurant have a simple motto of feeding people like you would your own family and focuses on making a certain amount of food each day to keep things fresh. As a result, there are some days where they may sell out prior to their closing hours so be sure to arrive early for the best menu availability!
