Corky’s Ribs & BBQ

pretty good food the bbq is really tasty as well as anything fried. everything me and my girlfriend had ordered was perfectly seasoned and the service was awesome never met some people as kind as the ones I met here. there is a drive thru which had me a little confused cause normally good bbq places don’t have a drive thru.

We got married in gatlinburg and ate there twice got the triple q platter hard part is picking 3 meats smoked turkey and sausage were great and the ribs fell off the bone were great as well. The service was really good can’t wait to go back next year.

The best food in pigeon forge. Brisket is to die for and fried pickles are amazing. We had our wedding dinner here and have been here every year for the past 4 years. Great service and great food and huge proportions. Can’t wait till next year to come again.

Ribs and sausage were very good. Mac n cheese, coleslaw and beans were good. Pulled pork was a little dry but good with sauce. Would have tried dessert but waitress was too slow and we were in a hurry. She was also a little grumpy. Overall pretty good

We visited this place during the Lunch Hour and it was not busy at all, which is a good reason to visit. The lunch ordered was the BBQ Turkey Sandwich which was very good — not great — but very good. The same can be said for their sauce. If I find myself in a city or town where one of these is a choice, I would revisit and try something different — the menu has many selections and I would be interested in trying other items. Also, the prices were very reasonable for the portions served. The servers were very attentive and the service was timely. Next time I will try a dessert as their dessert selections also looked interesting.

Every year that I come into the area for vacation I always try a different BBQ place for ribs. Last year I did J. T Hannah’s and I won’t make that mistake again. This year I did corkys. I must say I am pretty pleased with my experience here. My server was very professional and friendly. My food came out quick and hot. The portions are huge. The ribs are great. Mac & cheese, baked beans, seasoned fries and dinner rolls are great. And prices are reasonable. I would recommend it.

Place is like fast food barbecue. You go in, you sit down, order your food and it comes out in like a second. The sides are terrible the ribs were pretty good. The sauces were pretty good. The service was good to. I felt like I should’ve just went through the drive-​through and save myself a tip. Overall I probably would never ever go back.

Huge portions of food and very friendly servers. Food tastes great! Price wasn’t terrible either.

Ok, lived in Memphis for 10 years. Was so glad to see. Corkys in Pigeon Forge. This is que! Had the ribs, half wet, half dry. It doesn’t get any better than this. Sorry TX, bbq is pork.

Living in Kansas City for a few years ruined me for bbq but we thought we’d give this a shot. It wasn’t good. Brisket was very dry and the sauce they give you is way too syrupy. The twice baked potato salad was the only good thing with our meal. Won’t be returning.

Food was awesome! Moist and great spice. Waitress was excellent even offered to replace a side for free my husband didn’t care for. Would definitely come back!!!

I came here about 4 years ago, and remembered having some great ribs. Maybe I’ve ventured more than I think I have in the past few years, but the ribs weren’t the best. I ordered a Large wet rack of ribs, and my usual water with a lemon. Good, not bad, but not great. Not a whole lot of flavor in the ribs, and I was kinda hoping the meat would slide right off the bone.
The server was great. A nice lady and appropriately attentive. It was slow but she wasn’t all over the table as if there was nothing else to do. I appreciate that sort of thing. The place itself, is a nice brick building that gives you a good southern BBQ feel. I’m sure the place would have a fun atmosphere when it’s busy.
I do have a question to anyone in the future that actually reads this: if ribs are cooked over night, why do they have to «go put them in»? Didn’t seem like she meant to put the order in, but hey, I could be wrong.
The place is definitely worth a try, but i wouldn’t say they’ll serve the best ribs you’ll ever have.
Edit: there’s salt scrub in the bathroom. Kinda random, but kinda nice. Super soft skin now

I am generally a Corky’s fan but the food quality here was inconsistent for our visit. In spite of the reviews here, we went, but we should’ve gone to one of the other prominent BBQ places. The food was overcooked and none of the 5 of us thought his/​her meal was exceptional. We will check others out next time.

Went to this Corky’s not knowing that it is a sit down restaurant. Got seated quickly. Service is fast and they bring out your food super fast. If you order a dinner you get rolls with your meal. We ordered some bbq sandwiches with fries. It was really good.

Very hard rub, no taste, very poor, Do not waste your money！
big different of Memphis Corky’s Ribs & BBQ!
Never go!
Bad experience ！

We had no idea what to expect but we picked up a family size meal of BBQ pulled pork with beans, potato salad and really the mode delish coleslaw I’ve had in years.
We likes it so much we may bring some back home with us on our drive home ;)

We stopped in here after Dollywood closed and although it was late, the place was packed. Parking was crazy! We circled the lot and drove to our motel, then walked the three blocks back to the restaurant. I think this saved us a lot of time and aggravation.
The prices here a little high, but you can find a 10% off coupon in all of the coupon books you find all over Pigeon Forge.
I enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich (with a lovely pink smoke ring), and the kids had chicken tenders, spaghetti, etc. Hubby had the ribs which he devoured so quickly I barely got a chance to see them! The sides were standard to BBQ places, but good. The sauce is sticky, sweet, and spicy, just the way I like it.
The only complaint that I have is that when we ordered our drinks, the waiter offered my 24 year old daughter a beer. He didn’t ask for ID — she didn’t even have it on her because she’d left it in our motel room. She accepted, and she said that if the manager or someone else questioned her, she would walk back to the hotel and get it. I just hope that they don’t offer beer to other pretty young ladies, not knowing their ages.

Ribs were so good love this place. I eat ribs all over the country and this is one of my fav. Will for sure come back to this place. You can’t leave hungry. Its so good.

After striking out at two other places, we ended up here because we were growing hungry.
Upon seeing a couple nearly in tears talking to the manager about something over the treatment of their child we probably should have turned and walked out, but we’re idiots when hungry.
After sitting down and noticing it was taking a while for drinks, then to order and the table next to us was having trouble paying, I knew we were in for a long afternoon. As it turned out our server spent too much time chatting with a certain table.
At least four of the tables around us needed clearing and by the time we left, two we cleared. The food was fine but not memorable compared to the rest of the experience. Right in the middle of eating, the server poured sweet tea in my soda and then didn’t bring a replacement. Big deal except I don’t drink soda that often so I was looking forward to enjoying it and if she had brought me a water with my soda as I asked I would have had something else to drink, but eh.
Later, the server tried to excuse her lack of attention by blaming the manager helping that other customer. There are plenty of places to go, put this on your last resort list!

Corky’s Bar-​B Q is one of my favorite BBQ restaurants to stop for dinner whenever I’m in Tennessee! While driving through Pigeon Forge on a busy Saturday night, I finally decided to stop at Corky’s for a late dinner. I arrived here around 9:30 PM and was quickly seated at a booth and the waitress arrives soon after.
I already knew what I wanted for dinner and ordered the Half & Half ($ 12.99) — Pulled Pork and Spaghetti and choice of two sides (I chose fried okra & potato salad). I was given a basket of hot chewy rolls and butter, very good start! My dinner was served to my table in under 10 minutes.
The portion size of food was good! The pulled pork (some pink color) was very tender and moist and topped with a tangy BBQ sauce. The spaghetti with meatsauce was very hearty and spaghetti cooked just right, parmesan cheese in a side cup. The fried okra was hot and crispy and not greasy. The potato salad was dense and creamy.
I was full from the dinner and passed on the offer for dessert. I also showed the waitress an image of a 10 percent off Corky’s coupon on my phone (I could not print it since I was on the road) and she went back and okayed the discount with the manager which was taken off the check (enough to cover the state meals tax).
Overall, the food was not fancy, but it was as good as it gets of exceeding my expectations for pulled pork and spaghetti in the same meal. The service was friendly and prompt. I would definitely return to this Corky’s location during another visit to the Smokies!
