When a BBQ restaurant is awarded “Best BBQ in Pigeon Forge” every year and “Best BBQ in the Smokies”, it may make you wonder why people are so excited about the return of their salad bar?

Bennett’s Pit Bar-B-Que has set themselves apart by serving up the best BBQ in the smokies for over 35 years. But it is one thing to make claims of “Being the Best”… and a completely different thing to show the receipts. Trip Advisor has awarded Bennett’s their Certificate of Excellence every year since 2011, PigeonForge.com has voted them Best Barbecue year after year, and the locals have voted them the Best BBQ and Best Ribs EVERY SINGLE YEAR!!!

One might think that with such accolades and honors, it would be impossible for Bennett’s to be able to give visitors even more reasons to make their Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg locations a Must Visit Dining Destination in the Smokies, but when you are the absolute best, you do not simply stop at perfection. Sure, slow smoking your ribs and BBQ over smoldering hickory wood for up to 14 hours creates a perfectly rich and smoky flavor and of course, offering the absolute best sauces in the smokies is perfect way to enrich every juicy mouthful of smoky flavor.

They don’t just focus on the meats though. With lots of exciting apps (deep fried deviled eggs anyone), homemade sides (collards with our slow smoked pork) and more, your meal will hit all the high marks.
But… what if they did more? One might wonder, how do you raise the bar when it is already set so high?
You bring back a classic! Something that has been missed and recalled with fondness by customers… returning a perennial favorite to the menu with the Best Salad Bar in the smokies.

You may wonder, what would make a salad bar so beloved? Which is a very appropriate question to ponder.
The answer is simple. You include over 40 fresh fruits and vegetables that can be combined to create a masterpiece Salad, but then you go further. Bennett’s includes two made from scratch soups and their famous smoked chicken salad! Available during both lunch and dinner, Bennett’s selects the freshest produce available, creating a standard that is untouched by any other restaurant. With quality of food the absolute top priority, the close second item of importance is, of course, the selection of items available. Bennett’s features only the best garden-fresh vegetables, toppings and protein for every palate, a variety of cheeses, the freshest natural fruits, crisp toppings, southern sides of coleslaw and potato salad, and then an amazing variety of made from scratch dressings to top off your triumph of gardening perfection.

Available during either lunch or dinner, at both the Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg locations, the All-You-Can-Eat Salad Bar at Bennett’s Pit Bar-B-Que is the perfect complementary item of any menu!
Full Lunch Menu. Kids Menu all Day. Free on site parking at both locations and more.
