Five 2026 Best of Pigeon Forge Nominations
Sloppy Hog received five nominations for the 2026 Best of Pigeon Forge Awards!
We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Sloppy Hog has been nominated for the Best of Pigeon Forge Awards in five incredible categories! 🏆
Being a local, independent business tucked into the heart of the valley—right between Pigeon Forge and Townsend near the scenic entrance of the Foothills Parkway—means the world to us. This recognition is a huge testament to our hard-working kitchen crew, our friendly staff who treat every guest like family, and, of course, you—the best customers in the Smokies.
Take a look at the categories we’re nominated for this year:
1. Best Burger
You know we take our burgers seriously around here. Our Famous Smash Burgers are seared to absolute perfection on the grill, giving you those signature crispy, caramelized edges and a juicy, flavorful bite every single time. If a Sloppy Hog smash burger is your ultimate comfort food, we’d love your vote!
2. Best Barbecue
We love low-and-slow flavors, and our barbecue selection is a true labor of love. From our crowd-favorite pulled pork to our legendary Slop Your Dripper sandwich (topped with savory meat, crisp slaw, and perfect BBQ sauce), we bring authentic, smoky flavor to the valley every day.
3. Best Wings
Whether you like them mild, wild, or sweet, our wings are fried to a flawless, crispy crunch and tossed in your favorite savory sauces. They’re the perfect basket to share with friends on a sunny afternoon—or to keep all to yourself!
4. Best Ice Cream
There is no better way to cap off a great meal or cool down after a long hike in the national park than with a sweet treat. Our blended ice cream, Hog Blizzy, has quickly become a valley tradition, and we are so excited to see our dessert menu getting some love on the ballot! 🍦
5. Best Outdoor Seating
If you’ve ever stepped out onto our back porch, you know exactly why we made the list for this one. With a wide-open, front-row view of the Great Smoky Mountains, fresh mountain breezes, and plenty of sunshine, our deck turns a simple lunch or dinner into an unforgettable mountain experience.
Thank you all so much for your endless support, your loud cheers, and for making Sloppy Hog your go-to valley destination. We’ll see you on the porch!
