What it's like
We went to the Alamo Steakhouse as our one "nice" dinner on the trip. Literature in town advertised the Alamo as the top rated steak house in the area for last year. Prices here, as with most steakhouses, were high and in fact were the most expensive we found in Pigeon Forge. That being said, it was only $85 for dinner for 2 adults and 2 children, including tax and tip, which is nothing to some big city standards.

We went to dinner at about 8:00 p.m. on Friday night and we were informed that we would have about a twenty minute wait. We were seated in under ten minutes however. The atmosphere of the restaurant is a polished tex-mex feel. The entire restaurant was made of shiny dark wood. People were wearing everything from jeans to dresses.

Black Angus steaks cooked over an oak fire are their specialty and they are really great. The menu offers chops, chicken, salads, sandwiches, ribs and burgers in addition to their famous steaks. Most things on the menu are ala carte. We had the El President Porterhouse (available in 22 or 36 oz.) and the Carne Asada which is grilled sirloin steak topped with melted cheese and salsa. The Carne Asada was good, but the Porterhouse was great!

They also have a children's menu and the kids were able to get a small steak themselves. The children's menu is split into two sections, one for smaller kids and one for kids around ages 8 - 12. There were about 6 selections under each group.

The deserts looked amazing and included a list of delicious items like Chocolate Explosion, Chocolate Pecan Pie, Fried Banana Split, Chocolate Burrito and a Muleshoe Mudslide.

Be warned that Pigeon Forge is dry so you will not be able to order a nice glass of wine with that black angus steak.The Alamo also has a restaurant in Gatlinburg, which does have a liquor license.
