A Nice Review of the Bullfish Grill

We haven’t had a chance to visit the group of new restaurants in Pigeon Forge that have appeared this summer on the Parkway, so it was with interest that I read a review in the Knoxville News Sentinel this morning.

Written by a newspaper staffer who calls himself the Grub Scout, the article first focused on the feeling of déjà vu that came over the Grub Scout as he entered the facility. The place felt familiar to him and he remarked that the signage, the menu and the décor all reminded him of restaurants owned by the Connor Concept Group and the Park Grill in Gatlinburg. That’s not a bad comparison at all as all of the restaurants that compare to the Bullfish Grill are comfortable, classy places themselves, and I know that I would enjoy dining in this new restaurant too.

The atmosphere received four and a half stars out of five, as did the service, which was called “outstanding” from the moment the hostess greeted them. The “service team” of waiters, bus staff and management kept the table neat and made the Grub Scout and his wife most comfortable and they were welcomed with a courtesy visit from the management, which the reviewer always seems to like. The rating for the food was just a half star lower and while it too seems to mimic the Connor restaurant chains, that is NOT a bad thing.

The fried green tomatoes are a favorite appetizer of mine at Connor’s where they are served atop the most tasty grits imaginable. The appetizer fills me up and I learned that at Bullfish’s, the serving is even more plentiful……..they came on a platter and were adorned with dollops of goat cheese! Somehow the reviewer and his wife were able to tear themselves away from the platter without ruining their appetites.

A 20 oz. Kansas City Strip was grilled and seasoned to perfection and it was served with a side of cheese grits and a Caesar salad. The wife ordered swordfish napped with a tangy tomato and citrus sauce with a side of sugar snap peas and a house salad. Once again, the entrees were abandoned to save room for the dessert, which was a luscious sounding, sweet-tart, two-layer key lime pie. Yum!


Bullfish Grill scored a 95 on its Department of Health inspection, and there is a smoking section and a non-smoking section, with beer and wine service available. We welcome the restaurant to the Smokies and will visit just as soon as we can.
