What it's like
We ate lunch at Bennett's Pit Barbeque as our last meal in town. We found a coupon for 10% off breakfast and lunch and though some good barbeque would be a good way to end our trip. Advertised as "the Best Family Dining in the Smokies" we thought we'd give it a try. The meal was okay, but definitely not the best barbeque we had ever tasted.

This does make a nice family choice for a meal because the kids menu is really great. They have a selection of barbeque chicken, chicken fingers, barbeque ribs, sloppy joe, hamburger, cheeseburger or barbeque pork sandwich under their Little Wranglers section with is geared for children 10 and under. Prices range from $2.99 for the sloppy joe to $4.99 for the barbeque ribs. For hungrier kids there is the Hungry Wranglers selections which include chicken tenders, hamburger, cheeseburger, New York Strip steak, sloppy joe and the cowboy combo which includes port, chicken and ribs. Hungry Wranglers meals are more expensive, ranging for $4.79 for the sloppy joe to $8.99 for the New York Strip steak. Meals include fries for do not include drinks.

The lunch menu for adults included salads, ribs, chicken, sausage, beef brisket and other standard barbeque fare. We had the Barbeque Beef Brisket sandwich for $6.99 and the Baby Back Ribs lunch platter $8.99. The rib platter was very small and only had about 10 ribs on it. There are other options to get a full or half rack of ribs as well so if you are hungry, I suggest you go with one of those more expensive options. We were not too happy with the food because the pork sandwich was dry and we didn't think the barbeque sauce was all that good.

They do have a great selection of appetizers and we started our meal with the Trail Head Combo for $9.99 which included hot wings, breaded mushrooms, onion rings, mini mozzarella sticks and armadillo eggs and cream cheese poppers. If you don't mind paying that hefty price, I do suggest you try the combo because all of their appetizers were incredibly fresh (for fried food) and very tasty!
