This is the best food-experience-atmosphere you will experience in the area! The quality of the food is top notch as a 4 to 5 star restaurant! EXCELLENT MEAL AND BEAUTIFUL VIEW! We go here every year for the wonderful dinner experience:-)

My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and looking for a place that had really great food, as well as a nice atmosphere. This place not only met expectations, but exceeded them. The dinner was a four-course meal and every last one of them were delicious! The menu dinner is different everyday, so we won't experience the same item.... More

The Buckhorn Inn is a bit of a drive from the madness of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge and well worth it. Escape from the themed, chain restaurants with lots of fun but mediocre food to a quiet, quaint inn and restaurant down Highway 321.

My wife, Sheila and I have been visiting the Buckhorn Inn nearly every year in the Fall since 1996 and in the Summer season a few times as well.

An excellent five course gourmet each night. Served by a competent, courteous staff. A different menu each night. Wine available or BYO.
