Harry’s Grill & Piggy’s Ice Cream

Piggy’s is the granddaddy of Hendersonville’s ice cream scene. Harry Thompson and wife Sallie (nicknamed “Piggy”) opened it in 1979. It’s now owned by their son Michael Thompson and his wife, Elaine. Piggy’s serves 24-30 flavors on a daily basis. Tried-and-true flavors are supplied by Mayfield and the fancier flavors come from Blue Bell. In addition to tasty cones, Piggy’s is known for thick milkshakes and fantastic banana splits. The business, famous for its Yogi Bear sign and animals on the roof, expanded over the years to include Harry’s Grill. Named for Harry Thompson, it serves hamburgers, hot dogs and barbeque at reasonable prices. Open Wednesdays – Saturdays.
