It was a long morning of travel and we were all tired when we entered Pigeon Forge. Looking for a place to eat, we happened upon Corky’s BBQ, which claimed to offer original Memphis BBQ. A slab of meat sounded fabulous, so we made a U-Turn and stumbled in for a hearty meal.
Their specialty is the ribs that are “lean and tender, hickory-smoked and basted with either Corky’s Original BBQ sauce or a secret blend of dry spices.” We could choose the regular, large or full rack of ribs served with a choice of two sides. I decided on the regular sized order of dry ribs with corn and a side salad.
The salad was loaded with tomatoes, red onions, cheese, croutons and a couple strips of bacon. It was a hearty starter which was enhanced with a side of ranch dressing.
The restaurant offers “Killer Rib Combos” as well as BBQ dinners, starters, BBQ sandwiches and sandwich platters. The portion sizes were quite generous and we left the restaurant extremely satisfied. It was time to find our chalet and unload the van before turning in for the night.
