Insider Tips

Margaritaville currently lists restaurant hours as 11 AM–10 PM Sunday through Thursday and 11 AM–11 PM Friday and Saturday. Because the restaurant is part of a busy entertainment complex, expect more activity during peak travel periods. If outdoor seating or live entertainment is important to your group, check the current schedule before visiting. Reservations are also available through the restaurant, which may be useful for larger groups.

Stay Hello Sunshine Tip

After an evening at Margaritaville Restaurant Pigeon Forge, let the energy of The Island give way to a quieter night at Sunshine Around the Bend.
