Peddler Steak House - Gatlinburg

The Peddler Steakhouse of Gatlinburg, Tennessee

The Peddler Sign welcomes you to the best steakhouse in the South. The restaurant is packed every night of the week, and for good reason. The steaks and chops are legendary and delicious. There is always a good 1-2 hour wait depending on the time of arrival. The trick is to eat in the open bar and lounge area. We walk straight in and find an open table. Most people are sipping drinks waiting for a table to open up down stairs but we just inform the waiter that we are eating here.

The waiter brought out a basket of hot delicious rolls with butter. He took our order and we proceeded to the salad bar. My Salad was fantastic with big chunks of ham, real bacon, hard boiled eggs, green olives, celery, carrots, several varieties of grated cheese, tomato, and of course lettuce.

The main entree, Filet Mignon, was prepared medium well and I asked for it to be butterflied to ensure it would be done. It was perfect. Absolutely zero fat on the filet and it was very tender and juicy.A baked potato came with the filet and I smothered it with butter. The cokes were bottomless and crisp.

The service, considering the crowd was exceptional. Our meals were promptly served with a smile.

The cost is a little pricey. The Filet dinner was just over $50.00 without tip.

The Grassy Knoll Institute recommends the Peddler for dinner in Gatlinburg, Tennessee and awards 4 out of 5 stars deducting only for the crowd and the cost.

Hooters Of Las Vegas

Dave and I stopped at Hooters, a quaint little restaurant at the old San Remo hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Yes, of course the waitresses were good looking, we're at Hooters for God's sake.

The first we did, other than checking out the scenery, was to peruse the menu. They were already at our table. The menu had a pretty good selection of entree's but being at Hooters, I knew what I wanted.

Yes, Hooters famous wings with BBQ sauce. it was a very good portion, and the wings were just hot enough, not flaming hot, just spicey enough.

The main course was a bacon cheeseburger with french fries. The burger was hot and juicy and cooked to my specifiacations. The bacon was crisp. The fries were plentiful with a little seasoning on them.

The service was good and the order was correct. The waitress was nice and courteous.

The Grassy Knoll Institute gives 4.5 out of 5 shots and recommends Hooters of Las Vegas for dinner.
