Nestled near Pigeon Forge and Sevierville, this unpretentious, family-run smokehouse delivers standout Tennessee barbecue: smoky brisket, tender burnt ends, fall-off-the-bone ribs and generous sampler platters. Homestyle sides (Brunswick stew, chili, mac and cheese) and cast-iron skillet desserts complete the meal. Warm, personal service and a homey, hole-in-the-wall vibe make it a local gem—casual counter service, hearty portions and fair prices. Expect disposable tableware and a cozy, sometimes cramped space; a few items may vary, but overall it’s an authentic BBQ destination worth seeking out.

Absolutely DELICIOUS Bbq and I couldn't love the story of how this place got started more! Best mom and pop place in the Smokies!!! We are from Ohio and we can't wait to come back!! Such hospitality as well, all who worked there were so sweet, kind and very helpful! The brisket, burnt ends and chicken were ALL delicious, and don't even get me started on the sides, YUMMM! A joyful experience all around! See y'all next time! Much love from Ohio!!

We had the ribs, pork sandwich, mac and cheese, coleslaw and a skillet bun. Everything was AMAZING!!! The sides are plenty big to share between a couple people. Great service as well!!! Clean restroom too!Food: 5/5

In the area for a weekend getaway. Tried this place, it was phenomenal. Got the 3 meat combo. The burnt ends were tender and delicious. The pulled pork and the brisket was great. Didn’t even use the sauce. Great sides with the beans and potato salad. Wasn’t a fan of the banana pudding but each to his own.

Preacher's Smokehouse is a charming spot with only four tables indoors and a handful of picnic tables outside. They’re open Thursday through Saturday, from 11 AM to 7 PM. Of all the restaurants we tried this week, this one was by far my favorite. If you're heading to the Smoky Mountains, this place is a must-visit. The staff is super friendly and happy to chat with you, and they even offer free coffee! I highly recommend dropping by Preacher's Smokehouse, and don’t forget to follow Lititz Dad for more adventures!

Update from February: Preacher's Smokehouse remains hands down the best food Sevierville has to offer! We visited with the kids this time, and every one of them agreed it was the best place we've eaten during our trip. Thank you for consistently delivering amazing food and the friendliest hospitality in the area! From the Mills Family, this truly is the top spot around. If you want an unforgettable experience, make sure to visit and enjoy a meal here! We even had the chance to meet the preacher, hear some local stories, and snap a photo with him. We're definitely coming back tomorrow! Fantastic food and warm hospitality!
