When in Gatlinburg, you must make time to eat at the The Peddler Steakhouse. Yes, it is always crowded, but the wait is worth it.
Tip #1: To avoid a potential long wait period, simply go into the bar / lounge area and take an open table. Usually there is a table or two open. From there, simply place your dinner order when the waitress comes by.
We took the lounge option and and found a table upstairs. The view is nice, overlooking a small river running beside and under the restaurant.

| Peddler Salad Bar |
As on cue, the waitress asked if we were here for dinner or just drinks. We choose option dinner and drinks. After we ordered, we headed downstairs to the salad bar. And when I say salad bar, I mean amazing salad bar. As you can see by the pictures, I had of course lettuce as a base, several types of cheese, carrots, celery, hard boiled egg halves, green olives, real chopped bacon, (Not the cheap fake bacon bits from other salad bars) and about another half dozen items piled high on my salad plate. The salad was tremendous.

| Peddler Filet Mignon |
As if on cue, as soon as we finished our salads, our steaks were delivered. I order the Filet Mignon well done and butterflied and a baked potato. The steak was cooked perfectly and it tasted fantastic. No doubt the best steak in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The baked potato was well cooked and smothered with butter which was perfect.

| Peddler Cherry Cheesecake |
For dessert, we shared a piece of cheesecake covered with strawberries. It was the perfect topper for a splendid meal.

Man, that steak do look mighty tasty and so does that tater.
ReplyDeleteThe peddler is fantastic, expensive but I never had a bad meal there.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, that steak looks just right up my alley. Although frankly I would have been stuffed even with the sallad bar alone!
ReplyDeleteSurely, my name's not Frankly...... :)
ReplyDeleteThe tater was goooooooood!
ReplyDeleteI also have never had a bad meal there, and I have been there at least 20-25 times.
ReplyDeleteThe salad bar is tremendous, with so many options, you cannot get of them on your plate. And I thought salads were supposed to be good for your health! :D
ReplyDeleteI literally bought a baking potato at the store yesterday simply because of this thread. I plan on baking that sucker for lunch today.
ReplyDeleteOh I've seen sallads with more calories than a pizza. It's all about composition :)
ReplyDeleteLoad it up with butter, cheese, and real bacon. Not those fake baco bits.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, this salad was high octane in every way.
ReplyDeleteI loaded it up with Promise margarine. My doctor considers butter a work of the devil, so as a concession to her, I use Promise. But if I were going to use bacon or a bacon-like substance, I'd choose real bacon.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe its not butter is a fine substitute as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat's needed is a product called "I Can't Believe It's Not Bacon".
ReplyDeleteYou are on to something there.
