Preacher's Smokehouse

Welcome to Preacher’s Smokehouse, a family owned and operated BBQ Smokehouse in the Great Smoky Mountains, where the Smoky Mountains meet the soul of Tennessee BBQ.  Nestled off the beaten path at 2033 Pittman Center Road in Sevierville TN - just a short 15 minute drive from the bustling heart of Pigeon Forge.  Were more than a restaurant; we are a family owned and family run haven for meat lovers seeking authentic, down home smoked BBQ offerings,

​

​​The story of the Smokehouse is an interesting one. The owner, Sam grew up around many great cooks. He learned how to cook the old way, cooking meat over fire. After he spent 30 years in the construction industry, he decided to move on to something he had always enjoyed; cooking. At this locally-owned and operated BBQ restaurant, expect great down-home style  cooking. There are no frills, dressing, or garnishes. It’s just delicious, hearty BBQ.

​

Great for locals and tourist alike we offer a variety of menu items for a very reasonable price. Everything is made from scratch in house daily. Take a trip off the beaten path to enjoy our scenic mountain views and experience the "Best BBQ in the Smokies". 

​​

​​​Sam is also the pastor at a small congregation that provides meals for ministry events and disaster relief meals. In 2016, there was a devastating wildfire in Sevier County. During this tragic event, Sam and his sons cooked for first responders and displaced families. He met many great people during this time who encouraged him to open a restaurant, so he did.

They cook with fire in two indirect cookers using only locally sourced hickory and applewood. In addition, they try to use as many local beef and pork products as possible. All recipes are unique to the smokehouse and the sauces are made in-house. You must try them all! At this restaurant, you are invited to slow down and enjoy the good things in life. If you are visiting the area, you are getting the real deal. This isn’t some chain restaurant, it’s simple, hearty Tennessee BBQ. Plus, the prices are affordable.
