Gather at Ranger's

For generations, park rangers have welcomed visitors to America's most visited national park, sharing its stories, protecting its beauty, and helping families create lifelong memories.

Ranger's Smokehouse and Market is inspired by that same spirit of hospitality and stewardship—not through affiliation, but through the values of welcoming others, respecting the land, and creating meaningful experiences.

Whether guests are beginning their day with lunch, returning from a hike through the Smokies, enjoying dinner with friends, or taking home locally made goods from the market, Ranger's exists to celebrate the people, traditions, and flavors of East Tennessee.

Experience authentic Southern BBQ and hospitality in the heart of the Smokies. Where tradition meets exceptional flavor in every bite.
