Alamo Steakhouse

Alamo Steakhouse in Gatlinburg serves hand-cut, seasoned steaks grilled over an open oak fire, the flavor it has been known for since it opened on East Parkway. It's a locally owned steakhouse with an Old West feel, a full menu beyond steak, and an acre of free parking, a rare treat in Gatlinburg.

The steaks

Every steak is hand-cut, seasoned, and cooked to order over an open oak fire, which gives it a smoky flavor you won't get from a flat-top or gas grill. Choose from the classic cuts, or go for the slow-roasted prime rib. Over an open flame, doneness changes quickly, so be specific when you order.

Beyond the steaks

The menu has plenty for anyone who doesn't want steak: seafood, chicken, oak-grilled pork chops, and burgers, with Southern-style sides. At lunch, look for specialty sandwiches and wraps, and there's a kids menu for younger guests. See the current menu on the Alamo's website.

The room

The dining room has an Old West, saloon-style feel. Couples can ask for one of the cozy "love nest" booths, and a private dining room seats up to 12 by reservation, a good choice for a family celebration. When the weather's nice, there's outdoor dining too.

Back from the 2016 fires

The Gatlinburg Alamo burned to the ground in the November 2016 wildfires. The owners rebuilt it to look the same from the outside, kept their staff paid through the rebuild, and reopened on October 2, 2017, with nearly all of the original team back at work.

Visiting

The Alamo is at 705 East Parkway (Highway 321), a short drive from downtown, with an acre of free parking, so there's no need to circle for a space. Gatlinburg restaurants fill up between about 6 and 8 PM, and a steakhouse takes longer to turn tables, so come a little early or a little late. Call ahead about the private dining room.
