Small "Patio" Area
Panera BreadWhile I echo the previous review that this store's outside seating area leaves a lot to be desired, it's doable for two people. They do have several 2 top tables on either side of the storefront so you have options to avoid the bright sun depending on time of day. Additionally, if you're alone & can't go inside to pick up, per management, just give them a call & they'll run your order outside to you since they've discontinued their curbside pickup.

Nice Size Patio
TGI FridaysWe've eaten here several times outside & the food has been decent, not great. It's also been hit or miss if they're serving on the patio. Not one of those spots that cater to the pups by offering water, etc., but at least another option with outdoor seating.

Patio is There, But Employees Appear Confused & Annoyed By It
The Chop HouseTwice now we've eaten on the patio with our little dog in her stroller & both times, almost a year apart, we got the same reaction from the staff; confusion & rudeness about us sitting out there. Not sure why they have a patio if they're so perturbed about it being utilized. Food hasn't been great for us, so overpriced for what it is. Way too may outdoor options in this area to ever go again.

Nice Outdoor Patio
Panda ExpressHave always had good experiences at this location. Nice tables with adequate umbrellas for shade.

Perfect Spot for the Babies!
Hard Rock Cafe Pigeon ForgeCan't believe we waited so long to try this location. Absolutely cater to the dogs on the patio with their own complimentary menu. You know the pooches are welcome as there is a sign posted on the porch. Our food was practically & we were actually shocked at the quality. Best NY Strip I've had and that's including all the fancy steakhouses I've been to! This is the best meal we've had in the area & normally we don't even care for Hard Rock. Cannot recommend these folks enough!

Perfect Patios
Jockamo Upper Crust PizzaThese folks have two different patio areas, both covered with tons of room, fencing on the sides, and ceiling fans. Can't ask for a better patio when you have your dog & are eating outside. Some of our food was yummy, some just OK, service was friendly, but slow & no offer of water for the baby, (fine, we bring our own), but these little things do warrant 4 stars instead of 5 from us.

Best Ice Cream in Town!
Cruze Farm Ice CreamNot only do these folks have the best, homemade ice cream in town, they have the best selection of seemingly endless outdoor seating available, too. Highly recommend!

Great Patio!
Panera BreadLove Panera and love this location. Great patio with plenty of seating choices and with online ordering & a drive-thru here, you never even have to go in.

Very Dog Friendly!
Bass Pro ShopsBeing married to an avid fisherman who LOVES shopping at Bass Pro, I'm appreciative that this is somewhere we can all go together. This particular store has way more clothing/shoes/hats than most Bass Pros, as well as plenty of home decor, so when visiting the store with a significant other who's there to shop for fishing needs, plenty to keep everyone busy! Sweet employee immediately the entrance gate open for me when she noticed I was pushing a doggie stroller.

An Absolute Must Go!
Moon Pie General Store and Original Book WarehouseWe've been vacationing in the area for 2 decades & regret not finding this great little spot sooner. LOVE the posted sign on the door letting all customers know right off the bat that they're pet friendly. As soon as we got in the door, two of the sweetest employees had already come running up to love on our sweet Bella. With so many items to look at from home decor to handbags to pet supplies, and all the books & puzzles, too, we had to be in there for a good hour. AND, the best part was the huge extra shopping area in the basement, so make sure you check that out. Ducked in here for a place to hang out while it rained & ended up with books, some home decor, snacks, and will likely go back today to get some puzzles & a bedspread I've been wanting, ( it's $30 cheaper at Moon Pie than on Amazon!) So, whether you have your pooches or not, can't recommend visiting these folks enough.

Just A Decent Option
Brick & SpoonWent for breakfast on an already bright & sunny day &, unfortunately, just not much outdoor seating with shade. If the one table with shade is taken, you're out of luck when it's hot out. We asked about the several two-top tables/chairs in the front of the store, all comfortably in the shade, but told they don't wait on those tables; they're just for people to sit at while waiting to be seated. We toyed with ordering carryout & just sitting there. Our server was nice, but got my husband's food wrong. Then, upon getting the bill, also realized we were charged for 2 drinks we didn't have...almost seemed as though it wasn't even our ticket, which may have explained the food mixup as well. Food was OK, nothing amazing & no reason to return; far too many outdoor options in the area.

Our Favorite Pizza!
Luca PizzaIt's such a bonus that our favorite pizza place, (and salads, and pastas, and OH THOSE GARLIC KNOTS), has outdoor seating that they've made even nicer with umbrellas and a little fence. This is an order at the counter and they'll bring it out kinda place. Highly recommend.

Great Patio!
Five GuysThe outside area here is large with plenty of seating choices and shade. They were very busy inside, but food was fresh and yummy as always. Great part about this area is we were able to take a walk after we ate to all kinds of other shops & such.

Friendly Staff Doing Their Best During Staff Shortage
Paw Paw's Catfish KitchenNoticed while driving by that they have at least 4 picnic tables, so stopped in for lunch first thing on a Thursday with our dog. I waited at a picnic table with our girl while my husband ordered inside & had a nice conversation with a sweet employee on break. Food was pretty good although deep fried cajun isn't normally our style. Mainly wanted to try the white chocolate bread pudding, which was even yummier when I warmed it up when I got home.

Great Option for Dog Parents!
The Island in Pigeon ForgeWe vacationed in the area and never leave our dog behind while away from home. (We rarely leave her for anything even at home!) Anyway, this obviously ties us down & limits our options on activities to enjoy, so we were thrilled to learn we could bring her to The Island. Fun walking around & seeing shops as well as watching some kiddos getting their nerve up to mini bungee jump. Again, something we couldn't normally enjoy if they weren't dog friendly. Would be an easy 5 stars if more stores/restaurants would post dog friendly or not. The whole place also stays REALLY packed. Side note: trail by the parking lot along the Pigeon River is perfect for walking the pooches as well!

Very Dog Friendly and Delicious!
BRU Burger Bar PlainfieldEveryone from the hostess to our server was very sweet. Offered us water for our little Bella and complimented us on what a good girl she was. Food was delicious and I HIGHLY recommend getting fries, onion rings, or anything you would eat ketchup with; their homemade ketchup jam is AMAZING. Highly recommend Bru Burger.

Only HALF Dog Friendly
Oasis DinerStopped by with our little Yorkipoo on a sweltering day & realized only half the patio is dog friendly. Keep in mind this was mid-day and literally not one other soul was on the patio. Just us. The issue was, there was only 1 table with full shade on this sunny, miserable day, but it was on the not-dog friendly side of the patio, so we weren't allowed to sit there. Again, though we were the only ones out there. There's dog friendly, then there's dog tolerant & these folks would be what I would refer to as barely dog tolerant.
