Local Goat

Local Goat is a New American restaurant on the Pigeon Forge Parkway, with a scratch-made kitchen that specializes in locally sourced and sustainable menu items. It's casual, lively and family-friendly, with a full bar and a menu wide enough for any group.

The menu

The menu covers a lot of ground, which is part of the appeal when your group can't agree on where to eat.

Burgers, seafood and salads

Burgers are on the menu too, and there's seafood and fresh salads for a lighter meal. Save room for dessert.
