About Myron Mixon BBQ Gatlinburg

Myron Mixon BBQ Co. brings championship barbecue to the heart of downtown Gatlinburg. The restaurant is the creation of five-time World Champion Pitmaster Myron Mixon, known from TV shows such as “BBQ Pitmasters,” in partnership with Knoxville restaurateur Chad Kennedy of Kennedy Concepts. It opened on May 28, 2025, at 762 Parkway, on an upper level above Auntie Anne’s with an outdoor patio, in the space that used to be Crawdaddy’s Restaurant & Oyster Bar.

Every meat is smoked in-house over real wood coals and seasoned with Myron’s own blends of herbs and spices, using recipes perfected over decades of competition cooking. The menu features smoked meats such as the brisket platter, house-made sides, signature sauces, and desserts including banana pudding, apple cobbler, and chocolate peanut butter pie. A full-service bar pours handcrafted cocktails and a whiskey list that features several Tennessee distilleries.

Fans can also stop by the Provisions Shop for Myron’s signature sauces, rubs, and apparel. It’s a natural stop for anyone looking for serious barbecue while strolling the Parkway.
