2. Paula Deen’s The Bag Lady

When famous Southern chef Paula Deen was first starting out in Savannah, Georgia, she ran a popular lunch delivery service out of her kitchen called “The Bag Lady”. Today, The Bag Lady restaurant at The Island in Pigeon Forge serves the same delicious sandwiches, salads, and sweets that launched Deen’s career 28 years ago. Visitors can’t go wrong with Paula’s tuna melt, egg salad sandwich, pimento cheese sandwich, or turkey cobb salad.

Poynor’s Pommes Frites is another superb place to have lunch in Pigeon Forge TN. Also located at The Island, this fun restaurant specializes in German street food, such as bratwurst, pommes frites (Belgian-style french fries), and German chili. No trip to Poynor’s is complete without trying their “spaghetti ice”, a special type of ice cream sundae that looks like a plate of pasta with marinara sauce!
