This is another must visit snack or lunch destination! You will see quite a few posts from others hailing their French Fries... They are all completely right and possibly even understating just how awesome these fries are! They are crispy, yet pillowie, if that can be an adjective!
Equally rockin are the two gentlemen that work there. They knew we were on vacation, and they went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our visit. We planned in advance, weeks in advance, to visit Poynor's and we were not disappointed or underwhelmed!
The spaghetti ice cream was just as freakin good and you can't forego it!

Great little place to eat, Prices are decent and the food is amazing. located on the back side of "The Island" under the shade of the Great Smoky Mountain Wheel. The portions are large and always made fresh. The only issue I have seen yet is the amount of indoor seating. During a busy time you may have to wait a while or seat outside which during rain or cold times is not pleasant. Overall I will definitely return

The namesake fries did not disappoint! Crispy and golden, with dozens of dipping sauces to choose from. We also loved the "spaghetti" ice cream, delicious and fun to eat. We'll definitely be back!

It's a nice little brat and fries joint. I tried the spicy mustard, but it had a strong horseradish taste to it. I don't like horseradish myself, but they do have 3 other mustards. I liked the Beer Mustard.

My wife had seen this dessert on YouTube. She wanted to try it. Spaghetti ice cream! Complete with meatballs and biscuits. It was delicious. Not sure about anything else on the menu, but this was worth the trip!

Located at the island in pigeon forge. The fries are fresh cut in-house & wonderful. The brats are amazing as well. They have several different dipping sauces & also several different mustard which are awesome! They even sell some of the mustards by the bottle. Definatly worth eating here if your in the island. Everything else is chain processed frozen junk at the island.

Awesome place, food is good and prices are reasonable! Kids love it!
Tim Jenkins
Delicious! My wife and I both loved our food. The service was friendly and quick. I'd recommend trying this place!

Good food, very nice people, and a great atmosphere. Enjoyed my time there.

The only place we could find without a 30+ minute wait at dinner time during Thanksgiving week. Prices were decent, considering the area. We went right before closing at 7:30pm, so they were out of chili and cheese. We each had a sausage, and shared a regular fries (more than big enough for 2!) Everything was good, and although it wasn't the healthiest meal we could havIe had, it was decent - especially for fast food. If the weather were warmer, I would have loved to try the "spaghetti" ice cream - neat idea!

Service was prompt, staff was friendly and the fried and spaghetti ice-cream were delicious.

Seriously, the BEST french fries I have ever had. Thick cut, but SO crispy on the outside. And their dipping sauce selection was crazy. We went with a rosemary garlic and a parmesan ranch. Both were so delicious. We went at a pretty busy time, so there was a bit of a wait but the fries were worth it. And the lady working was so apologetic for the wait time. They were working SO hard to keep everything moving along, I can't fault them for it just being a busy time to stop in. One hundred percent will be stopping in again when we're in Pigeon Forge.
Tara Newton
My husband and I went in and got an order of fries and an ice cream.
We were not fans of the fries but we really enjoyed the ice creams. Prices are a little high but everything in the area is priced high.
*While we were in here we had a rather pleasant conversation with Andrew Lincolns stunt double (Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead) so that was pretty cool!

Cute and small little restaurant that serves brats and loaded fries! Prices are fairly decent but nothing like the food in Helen, Ga. <br/><br/>I'm not a huge German food connoisseur but I enjoyed the small snack we had. The fries were definitely out of this world good! The brats were just okay and I didn't think they were worth the price. <br/><br/>I'd come back to try some other menu items, though!

I’ll admit, one of my secret (or not so secret) restaurant dreams is to open up a french fry shop – nothing but delicious, homemade french fries, served with sauces upon sauces upon sauces. That’s what Poynor’s Pomme Frites does! Except they add in sausages and ice cream too. That’s about 2 more items than I would ever do. Poynor’s is located at The Island in Pigeon Forge – it’s tucked in right alongside of the awesomely huge ferris wheel. Parking is a bit of a cluster for the Island so…go to the far right when pulling in, park by a tram stop and let the tram bring you right to the entrance of the Island. So many awesome shops back there!

This place got a 4.6 rating (legendary) so we had to try it. We were not disappointed. We both had the Thueringer bratwurst and shared an order of the cheesy frites. They have tons of different sauces to dip your fries in. We had the original, Black Forest, and Cuckoo. And they give you four different bottles of mustard for your brat. I'm telling you, it was very good! Definitely will be coming back here! And the staff was very friendly and wanted to make sure we were pleased. Doesn't get better then this!

What a great idea a little German restaurant in the smokies. We tried the frites and the bratwurst both were delicious. We had to also sample the spaghetti ice cream it was good as well. The prices seemed a little high but for being in the middle of a tourist area they weren't that bad. We will be stopping here anytime we visit the area.
Alexander J. Price
Really good brawtwerst in many different variations. The fries are actually really good and hot with many many different dipping sauces to choose from. The ice cream is awesome just watching them make it is a experience. Only downside I wish they had fountain drinks.
ActorMike
The cheese frites with cheese, bacon and jalapeño will feed two people and are worth the price tag! Don't forget to ask for the mustards for your brats.
J.Fox
A nice stop for a snack in our busy day. Great staff. Hot food, Delicious dips. Even the Yankees fan was nice. Must have been the frites!

We recently moved back to the States after living in Germany for a few years. We definitely enjoyed all the different brats and sausages in Germany and have been missing them, so this place was a welcome sight. I had a grilled weisswurst and it was exactly like I remember from Germany. Our kids had nuremburgers and said the same thing. We walked around The Island, eating our sausages on brotchen - just like we did in Germany.
Bill Clay
I just returned from living in Germany outside of Nuremberg, so we were excited to find a little taste of Bavaria here. The place is small but is spot on. Brats were excellent. True Nuremburgers are smaller- but tasted precisely like them. The Germans place 3x together on a roll unlike here, but this place had all the mustards and extras that give it a very close feel (minus the language barrier!). My boys loved them and it was a great flashback to living overseas. Highly recommend!

I grew up in Mannheim, Germany and this took me back to my childhood. My kids looked at me weird when I got excited about the spaghetti ice! Contrary to the other review, spaghetti ice has been around at least since the 80's.... The curry wurst was pretty darn authentic and the owner smiled when I asked for mayonnaise with my fries.

Awesome!!. It was the best if the one of the best foods you can eat in TN!!! They had world class service best ice cold drinks looks Modern and Futuristic. The Employees are Very Nice and Humble it was 12:15 on a Wednesday and a guy comes in and says "I'll make a Togo order" the cook says sure why not. And smiles at him even it is WAY PAST CLOSING TIME!! So very Nice Please go check this place out..

Friendly owners and great bread. This restaurant sits in the shadow of the giant Great Smoky Mountain Wheel and is named for its fries (Belgian fries actually). While they definitely serve good fries, the bratwurst sandwiches are what really caught our attention. More specifically, the bread on which the sandwiches are made is amazing. It's called Broetchen. It's a small hard roll from Germany/Austria. My mother, who was with me, said she had them years ago on a visit to Germany and had never seen them in this country.<br/><br/>We met the very friendly couple (Tammy and Poynor) who owns the restaurant. Poynor bakes the delicious rolls. He explained that they're made with a process that involves breaking them three times. We discussed how we could arrange take some home with us and he offered to bake a batch twice so that we could take them home and finish them. They were so good that we took him up on the offer and drove back to Pigeon Forge the following day to pick them up before leaving Tennessee. They survived the 10 hour ride home and we ate them nearly every day for a week!<br/><br/>When visiting Tennessee I'd expect to find southern food and moonshine (we found plent of both), but Poyner's surprised me with a brilliantly baked German specialty that I wish was available closer to home.

Currywurst. Delicious, tastes close to authentic and not too pricey.
Tim Adkins
Great brats & fries ! Love all the different mustards too !
Kevin
Everything that has already been said is true. This place is great. Awesome for lunch or a quick snack. Loved it.
D
Great sausages, great(!!!) fries with tons of options for dipping sauces! Kids hot dog is on a very small bun, but still good! Loved it! Friendly service as well!
Dave
Not the greatest, but far from the worst. The bun for the brat was really good, but the brat was pretty ordinary. The frites were fantastic though, crispy but not too hard, just perfect. Go for them if nothing else.
Heather
Loved it!. Great location, food and service. The menu is simple - brats, fries, and desserts. We loved the sauces for the fries and the selections of mustards.

How do you say "omg" in German?. So we are in town for Spring Break and today we were craving a good hot dog. Urban Spoon led us to this place and we will be finding our way back over and over! ( probably before this trip is over!) imported brats with real German buns and mustard! So good that my sixteen year old son proclaimed it one of the highlights of his trip. The fries ( or frites, as they call them) are heavenly. Crispy outside, fluffy inside. There are so many dipping sauce choices that it is hard to choose! I suggest getting the owner or his wife to describe the various sausages ion the menu. They are very helpful and are glad to assist in making your selection. There are a variety of German mustards to dress your brats with and they are all delicious. As for the dipping sauces mentioned earlier, I had warm cheese and cookoo sauce ( a horseradish blend) and loved them both. The kids enjoyed buffalo ranch and rosemary garlic. We shared their signature dessert, spaghetti ice, an ice cream Sunday that looks like a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. ( created in Germany in the 1990's). I highly recommend trying this wonderful little brat house.
Grant Hanna
Wonderful food and very friendly owners! They have tons of sauces to choose from to dip your frites in, and the original and smoked brats were great. My wife and I had never really had that much German food, but we were impressed. If you are having a hard time finding it, it is close to the Ferris wheel in The Island.
Andrew S
And the sauce selection is exceptional. But, one of the more unique items on the menu, not to be missed, is the spaghetti ice. This is probably the most unique ice cream dish I have ever had - amazing! This is true German street food. The owner is really knowledgeable and nice, he knows exactly what he is doing.
Julie Vassey White
Owner & staff are friendly and helpful. Food is delicious! Nuremberg brats are amazing, & the Black Forest dip was delicious. Curry ketchup on the brats=excellent.

Excellent place. Went for lunch and the service was incredible as was the brats and frites. Treat yourself to a great meal and try Poynors!!
MaryAnn Schaefer
Reminds me of Germany & Belgium. Great brats, sausages and homemade pommes frites. When we were visiting Germany & Belgium, there were many places to pick up a bratwurst and a paper cone of fries served with various sauces.<br/><br/>Poynor's is just like that! They cut their own potatoes for their frites and while the inside is tender and tasty, the outside is crispy, perfect in my book! I love just plain mayo on my frites, but there are lots of flavored sauces to try. The brats are excellent also with a good selection.<br/><br/>Good value for money, fast and extremely friendly service at this new business. If you are wandering around The Island, it's well worth a stop for a quick meal or a snack.

The reason you’ll love Poynor’s, however, and the reason you’ll return, perhaps even the next day as we did, is the amazing customer service provided by the owners and staff at Poynor’s.
