Pawpaw's Catfish Kitchen

Our goal at Pawpaw's Catfish Kitchen is to bring a taste of New Orleans to the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and serve authentic Cajun Cuisine with down-home hospitality. Located in Wears Valley, just minutes from Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, Gatlinburg, and Townsend, we are a unique family owned and operated destination restaurant with a friendly, laid-back (and fun!) atmosphere.

Serving Cajun, Creole, Seafood, Po Boys, Grilled, Barbeque, Etouffee, Gumbo, Jambalaya, Red Beans and Rice, and much more, all of our dishes are prepared fresh when ordered and our special fry batters and sauces are made from scratch daily.

Those visiting the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and all the recreational offerings of Sevier County and surrounding areas arriving from Cajun Country and Nawlins boast that our food is an "authentic taste of home".

Leave the busy streets and tourist attractions behind and join us for lunch or dinner.

We're worth the drive!
