The 38 best spots for bloody mary in Pigeon Forge

One word...SWEET! Brick and Spoon has a wonderful menu filled with both sweet and savory options but we went with sweet this time and do not regret it! My husband got the French toast sticks and said they were delicious 😋 but the star of the morning was my meal which was the bananas foster French toast! This did not disappoint 👏 from the bananas to the foster sauce to the pecans it was a flavor explosion! The coffee was decent, especially compared to the hotel coffee I had earlier in the morning. Our server (whose name I cant remember but he looked like a body builder) was attentive and very nice. Food came out quick and came out hot. Even though the place was packed, we had no wait to get a table and it wasn't so loud that you couldn't talk. 10/10 would go again!

We love this place! It is a must anytime we visit Pigeon Forge. Im not a Bloody Mary fan but looking at the ones they make are amazing. The mango mimosa is my favorite. The food is amazing! I haven't had anything i dont like there.

Best food during our whole trip. The beignets weren't overly sweet and came with great flavorful fruit. The biscuits with the Bayou Benedict were very soft and fluffy. The dining room is a large open area, but not too loud.

Absolutely disgusting french toast, all it was was tiny pieces of white bread toasted with cinnamon sprinkled on top. Not french toast. No egg, nothing it was unbelievably underwhelming. They didn't even devein the shrimp so we couldn't even eat half of the shrimp that came in the omelette, service was ok I think they were just so busy it was hard for them to be there everytime we wanted something. Extremely disappointing, it was the furthest thing from french toast or "good". They also came out freezing cold so the butter wouldn't even melt, all it did was tear up the bread since it was only toasted. I would not recommend this place for ANYTHING.

We had a delightful experience at Brick & Spoon today. We were seated immediately, about 5 minutes after we ordered our food was presented to us. The presentation of the food was wonderful and the taste was immaculate. We had the opportunity to enjoy bananas in pajamas and some wonderfully prepared French toast.

Unique breakfast/lunch and drinks spot. Very original ingredients for lots of flavor. French toast sticks were excellent, but kinda expensive for what they are. The breakfast tacos are a pretty good, brain expecting savory but getting sweet is a little hard to get used too though. The Killer Creole omelet was just ok, but I'm not a fan of holllandaise sauce, and some of the shrimp weren't all the way cleaned. Their own hot sauce is decent, basically a Cholula sauce. Coffee is basic, service was really slow at start with almost no one in the restaurant. Mixed drinks look good, but didn't get any. Cheap hard metal chairs unfortunately.

Food was really good and not super expensive. The team cooking and delivering our food was very welcoming and the food came out rather quickly!!! The only thing I can say negative about this place is it is smaller on the inside and we was rather close to other tables making it feel like we was dinning with them as well.

Mel’s Diner in Pigeon Forge is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re transported straight back to the golden age of classic diners — shiny chrome accents, cozy booths, jukebox tunes, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The food is everything you want from a true American diner and more. Their burgers are juicy and perfectly cooked, piled high with fresh toppings and served with crispy golden fries that taste like they came straight out of the 1950s. Breakfast here is a must-try too — fluffy pancakes, perfectly cooked eggs, and thick slices of bacon that are pure comfort on a plate. And you can’t leave without trying their milkshakes; they’re rich, creamy, and come in all the nostalgic flavors you dream about. What really sets Mel’s apart is the service. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to make your experience special. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or bringing the whole family for a fun meal, you’ll be treated like a regular. Between the unbeatable prices, the delicious food, the retro atmosphere, and the old-fashioned hospitality, Mel’s Diner is a must-visit spot in Pigeon Forge. It’s more than just a meal — it’s a slice of Americana you’ll want to come back to again and again

After visiting Ripley’s Aquarium in Gatlinburg, we decided to go to Mel’s Diner for dinner. For my meal, I ordered the country fried steak, which comes with two sides and Texas toast. I chose mac and cheese and fried okra for my sides. I thought that the country fried steak was crunchy, peppery, and hearty. The mac was extremely cheesy, the way mac should be. The okra and toast were just like any other. My cousin got the James Works burger, which is topped with chili, bacon, and mushrooms with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle. He got it with no mushrooms and enjoyed it. My cousin’s girlfriend got the biscuit and gravy with two eggs and bacon. She loved it. My dad got the bacon cheeseburger, and he thought it was delicious. My mom got the Cajun burger and enjoyed it. Overall, I would highly recommend going to Mel’s for a delicious meal.

It was ok. Service was good. Food wasn’t anything to talk about. Grilled cheese had 3 pieces of bread but cheese was thin and cold. Bake beans were pork n beans. Big dog hot dog gets 2 topping. Asked for relish and got 3 little packets. Dog tasted good. Bread was old

Honestly this place doesn’t get mentioned enough for a must stop place in the area, but it should. I was so excited from the minute we pulled up and it was lit up bright in the night sky. What really sold my fiancée and I on this place was the waitress Dawn, who is OUTSTANDING and makes you feel like you are meeting a new friend even when she has several other tables. If this was a place back home for me, she would help sell it. The second selling point for this place was the milkshakes. Literally the best milkshake of my life. And the atmosphere is absolutely perfect. This is a must stop in the area for sure!

We sat at the bar and had Leah as our server. Dinner and a show as we watched the Werner’s collect their food for distribution and listened to Leah singing along with the songs. This is truly a Classic Diner. If that’s what you are looking for this is a great place.

Nicole was a GREAT server!! Even her notepad shows experience!! The service was tip top shape and she kept us Well Beveraged! Haha!! My Husband and I are Locals, and we were on a little “Redneck-Vacation” We decided To choose This Wonderful little Diner because it was open late and the food looked Great, after showing me the reviews, my Husband Told us to get in!! We got there after calling and making sure that they were still open and was immediately greeted with a smile. They got us quickly seated, and Nicole got us our drinks after figuring out what we wanted and looking at the menu we ordered and we’re waiting on our food. We waited about 15 minutes. When the food came out, it looked so clean and homemade! It tasted just as good. Love the atmosphere of this little place. We will be back! The nachos are phenomenal! They are a must have! The Philly cheesesteak is also very good. However, the buns were cut completely through so it was hard to keep the contents in. Everything was cooked how we requested it for our little guy too!! We will be back!! Thanks Nicole for your Great Attitude and 5 STAR SERVICE!! My Recommendations: -the Nachos are banging!!! -the Phillycheese steak is Delicious Pros: -Good parking -Kid Friendly -GREAT MUSIC -Easy Order Classic Menu! -Decent Prices -Lively Environment -Open late Cons: -Don’t go in in a swimsuit, you’ll get dirty looks from some of the girls that work there lol. (One Host with brown hair…) -the bathrooms are a little hard to find at first Thanks! -The Kanevski’s

Never been here before it was terrific. The food was great. The service was great. Came from florida to visit tennessee.Definitely.Will be back.

The old Mill is one of the restaurants that lived up to all of the hype! It was so delicious we went twice, and you WILL NOT leave hungry! The corn fritters and chowder were AMAZING, the chicken and dumplings were super good, the pot roast was tasty, and the desserts were to die for. Plus service was great and they were easy going, I don't like salad so I was able to get a cup of fruit instead (wasn't exactly listed as a side but they accommodated. Whether your here early or late your going to wait, but it was nice that they quoted an hr and both times we only waited like 40 mins at most.

We went around 1:30 pm for lunch and had no wait! From all the reviews and word of mouth, was told food was amazing. The fried chicken was superb, but the green beans and mash potatoes were lacking flavor. Mashed potatoes reminded me of boxed potatoes. The chicken n dumplings were good. I was under whelmed with the corn fritters, I was hoping for more of a hushpuppy and flavor. It's basically fried dough. They serve it with maple butter. I am not a fan. The fritter tasted better dipped in the vegetable and corn chowder soup. The soups were good. The corn chowder was better than I expected and had a lot of flavor. It was a mix between gravy and soup. The portion size was generous and we left with Togo boxes. The lunch entrée didn't include dessert.

Wow, another great meal. We loved our late lunch yesterday at the Old Mill Cafe, so today we did a late lunch at the restaurant. Fantastic. Valeria did a wonderful job and I can't wait to return to the area to eat here again. I had the open faced turkey sandwich with beef gravy and fries. The restaurant portions are more than the cafe's but cost about a dollar more. Well worth it. No wait for seats, either. Military discount is much appreciated, too.

Fantastic and Beautiful Restaurant , highly recommend. This was our first time as we're traveling on vacation. I've been in the area 5 days and wished I'd found it sooner. We had a great table overlooking the water on the second floor. My husband had prime rib cooked perfectly for humans I had turkey and stuffing meal with fried okra , mashed potatoes, greenbeans, corn chowder soup. For desert we had blackberry cobler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The blackberry cobler was Amazing ,in fact the best I've ever had !! I have to say they have alot of great staff and our waitress Cheslee D was spot on with refills and checking on us, very polite,great at multitasking, she's good for your business. Our meal price included desert, soup and salad and really good portions. 30.99 for 8 oz prime rib, baked potato, green beans ,garden salad and a cup a soup plus desert...Outstanding food 😋 Outstanding service.

My wife and visiting in town decided to try this place, based on good reviews. Well it was actually pretty good. I had the omelette as pictured and the wife had the classic breakfast which is a sample of all the classics. The only thing the small pancakes were served cold. Other than that it was pretty good, in fact the grits were pretty good too, and I do recommend. It's not a place I would go to every day, but I do give it a good review. Prices were pretty reasonable as well. 👍

There was a long wait to dine at this restaurant. We gave our name and waited over 30 minutes for them to call us in the loud speaker. While we waited, we browsed the adjoining gift shop. They have so many fun and unique things for sale. When they finally called our name we went back to the restaurant and we were seated. I ordered liver and onions. My companion ordered fried chicken tenders. Both meals came with seasoned green beans, mashed potatoes, corn chowder. While we wait for our meals, we were brought some sweet fried things. They looked like hush puppies but they were better than that. So good. Our whole meal was delicious and definitely worth the wait.

Great place to get some amazing southern comfort food. A little bit of a wait but they have a general store you can explore while you’re waiting. We had the southern fried chicken legs and pork chops. Fried perfectly and served with their corn fritters, corn chowder, side salads, green beans and mashed potatoes. For dessert we had pecan pie and blackberry cobbler.

Stopped in for brunch and noticed they had all you can eat. My husband ordered a Blue Plate Special and I opted for the buffet! 🫣 It was all brought to me!!! OMG! AMAZING! Was told I could order extra of anything that they had put on the table! Pic says it all!!! Best chocolate gravy! It was all great!! I promise that you will not leave hungry 🥰

Our family of 4 dined here on a Saturday night and this was our experience. Atmosphere: This place is full of southern charm. The farmhouse appeal is carried with detail throughout. We especially liked the two ceiling fans linked on a pulley system. There are photo op spots around the property outside with a face-in-hole board, rocking chairs, old trucks, and even a tractor. Game Space: We loved that this restaurant had a little outdoor game area for those that were waiting. After dinner we enjoyed a game of hooks, but there was also ping pong, corn hole, and a large scale connect four and a checkers board. Food: Dinner on Saturday night included fried chicken, country fried steak, and ham. We also rotated through sides of chicken & dumplings, mac & cheese, green beans, hush puppies, and sweet potato casserole. The chicken was lightly breaded and moist, the cubed steak was tender, and the ham was ok but nothing special. All of the sides were good - especially the biscuits and strawberry jam! The chocolate cobbler desert was very fabulous, but the banana pudding was disgusting. The bananas weren’t ripe enough and it didn’t have a traditional wafer texture. Disappointment for my kids who really love banana pudding. Service: Noe was a great server! She kept drinks topped off and had dinner refills replenished quickly.

Wait time to be seated wasn't bad but once seated we told our waitress what sides we wanted in hopes it would make things go quicker. It didn't we waited 40min or more for our food. When it finally came out we asked to have another order put in since it was all you can eat and the waitress gave us attitude. The serving sizes brought for 3 people were laughable. The starter was supposed to be one for each person but we only got one total. I had to ask for knives which weren't brought. When the manager came over and we told him what was going on and he told waitress we needed knives and she told him we didn't ask. He put in 2nd food order but overall food was lacking. Chicken was dry, potatoes extremely lumpy, country fried steak was salty and overcooked and was more like salisbury steak texture than cube steak. The banana pudding was more like fluff than cream. We tried this location because we love the Alamo which is a sister restaurant but we will never be back to Mama's again. Waitress was Keyona.

Really enjoyed this place. It is similar to Paula Deen’s but better as they let you swap out your sides after you start with the initial 4. The fried chicken and fish were delicious. The biscuits with strawberry glaze you can put on them are scrumptious. The Mac and cheese, taters and dumplings were great. The peach cobbler was good and comes with a scoop of ice cream. The corn on the cob was awful, dried out and old, we went for lunch I suspect it was from the night prior. The chocolate cobbler didn’t taste good, not a brownie or pudding I tried it but it wasn’t for me some folks may love it. The summer salad was a small bowl of little tomatoes mostly.

Had my 60th birthday party here. Food was wonderful! Staff didn't think before setting hot dishes in front of the baby. And then he almost spilled ham juice down my niece's back. Thankfully he missed. Other than those two issues, service was great. The food was delicious! Loved the fried chicken!

I thought the hype about this place meant they'd have the best-tasting soul food breakfast, $17 per person, served family-style. But they didn't have a tasty breakfast; it was just really cheap, dry food served. The chicken tender isn't good, the eggs come from a premix box, the biscuits are dry and not the best, bacon is bacon, and the sausage patty... They're all cheap frozen packaged foods and they had a funky smell from the plate and bowl, and that's what you get for breakfast. I don't understand the high rating; they could have done it better. The restaurant is really dirty. Paula Dean was very good when try the first time there.

Good price, excellent service. We liked it because it felt like we were on Grandma's farm. It was great for the family to eat here.

Went on a Monday morning ! Before 10 am. Was not too busy no wait for a table of 3. Located in PF , limited parking , central location easy to walk to. I will say that this restaurant is super cool. They have animatronic chickens that sing dance every 5 to 10 minutes that lasts about two. They have a small menu, but the food is very good. The service is even better something that could appeal to everybody. We had the big breakfast with the pancakes eggs sausage toast Chicken and waffles And chicken strips and french fries All the food was cooked very well and came out pretty quick. Our order was right. Our waitress did a great job making sure that our drinks were full and we didn’t need anything to go with our meals. The place is decor as a farmhouse. It also has a little gift shop section right in front where you can pick up a plushy to worry or T-shirt to remember your experience. Restaurant seemed very clean. They were very organized when it came to having people sit and holding tables and all of that type of thing it definitely did get busy when we left at 10:30. They had a line out the door.

Such a fun place to visit! We went here randomly while driving down the strip. There was a bit of a wait, but the food was worth it. The prices were fair, the food portions were big and the kid's pancakes were so cute. The atmosphere was nice and the musical/show happens every 20 minutes or so was cute and the kids loved it.

The singing chicken show was great entertainment for the kids. The portions were a big hit with everyone. Popular place but no waiting. So many choices but there were extra charges we didn’t catch and server didn’t tell us either.

Cinnamon roll pancakes were delicious! And so were the pumpkin pancakes! The eggs and sausage and home fries were good, nothing special there. The animatronic chickens are fun and all have funny names. And when they sing every 15-20 minutes it’s not too loud to where you can’t talk to the people at your table. Fun experience.

Frizzle Chicken Cafe, hands down, has the best fried chicken this side of your grandma's kitchen! Excellent service from the friendliest wait staff, and the chorus of singing chickens is entertainment at its best! Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch that day!

For a gluten free person, this place is the best!! My family is not GF and they also loved it! I haven’t had a Belgian waffle since a couple of years since having to go gluten free so I was excitedly surprised that this place offers both GF waffles and pancakes!!! The GF waffle was SOOOOO good I ate every bit of it!! The eggs, potatoes, bacon, French toast, and anything else we had was very good as well! We loved the chicken entertainment and all the decor throughout the restaurant! Our server was great as was all the staff we saw and/or dealt with. My boys got some stuffed animals from there and they love them. We will definitely return to this place when we come back to town!

Family breakfast while on vacation, we chose here due to the dancing and singing chickens. Our waitress was nice and very helpful, made sure we never had an empty cup and all we needed. The food was hot and good. The kids enjoyed watching the chickens every 20 mins. Prices were reasonable.

We came here for lunch while visiting a local event. The place is cute and we got seated somewhat quick for how packed it was. Our server was very friendly and gave great recommendations on the most popular meals. Our orders came fast and food was definitely delicious and had that home-cooked taste. We'll definitely be back next time we come visit!

This restaurant is well worth the wait! We had BBQ chicken nachos for an appetizer and OMG were they good!!!! We also had the TN glazed burger with bacon and onion rings and it was one of the best burgers I've ever had. The teriyaki marinated steak kabobs with rice were very good also. The creme Brulee was sooo good. This place is the GOAT! Lol

This was the best meal we ate while in town on vacation hands down. Our server (Kelsey or Casey maybe?) was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We enjoyed everything we ordered and the lemonade was SO refreshing! The food was hot and we left very full. There was plenty of seating and we got in and out for lunch before the crowds. Definitely go here if you want a fantastic meal! (oh and everything is made in house the day of). I recommend the crab cake sandwich because it was delicious, seasoned & cooked perfectly and filling. Though my daughter's hot honey chicken sandwich looked amazing too, the breading was so crispy and the chicken was hanging out of the bun it was so big. Great place that we will visit again next time we visit.

Listen… okay… the only thing I got a picture of were the Deep Fried Deviled Eggs. Everything else got absolutely inhaled before a proper “phone eats first” action happened. The restaurant is busy. No doubt. We waited about 35 minutes for a table but it was so worth the wait. The first time we went, Kelsey took care of us. Legit probably one of the best waitresses out there. She is hilarious, very knowledgeable about the menu, and attentive. We went back the next night (no shame) with our whole family and still had outstanding service and food with another server. The food is incredible. Everything (and I mean everything) is made from scratch. Highly recommend the bison burger and shrimp and grits. We will definitely be back the next time we’re in Pigeon Forge.

We had been wanting to try Local Goat for a long time but always went to our other favorites instead when we were on vacation. We are so glad we finally went. This place was so delicious! I got the BGT burger and my husband got the Bison meatloaf. We ordered an appetizer of the stuffed peppers with goat cheese and also a side salad with their house made honey-lime vinegarette dressing. All the food tasted amazing! The burger was massive, the fries were seasoned perfectly. It did take probably an hour to get our food due to some sort of error, but the manager was kind enough to take the appetizer off our bill. We will definitely be going back ok our next trip!

This place was above and beyond our expectations, they stay pretty busy so we did have to wait (we went on a Friday night) but it was well worth the wait. Excellent atmosphere, friendly staff and wonderful amazing food. (The best we’ve had). Our waitress was Kelsey and she was absolutely amazing. She was very proud and passionate about everything being made from scratch in the kitchen and being locally sourced. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and very kind and helpful. She was also very attentive. She was the GOAT (Greatest of all time, pun intended) she made this an even better experience than it already was. I definitely can’t wait to come back. 10/10! Definitely eat here if your the area.

Highly recommend! Best to make a reservation. We were in and out in less than an hour with our reservation. The prices are great. The food is to die for and our waitress was super sweet and very attentive. We will be back :)

On a Sunday morning at 7:15 you can walk right in and be seated and eating 10 minutes later. I’m sure you’ll be waiting for a seat if you’re a late riser. Our service was excellent, the food though was only good. I did like the fact that the syrup was warmed, for me that really helps pancakes. The menu has a nice assortment of selections to choose from, but this is a smaller restaurant than an IHOP and so is the menu selections. I would be willing to eat here again on my next visit to the area.

Food was alright. We got two griddle dishes with eggs and sausage. Both dishes came with 2 buttermilk pancakes. Pancakes were nice and fluffy. Will note the sausage was very small. No over-the-top flavors but overall not bad.

Service was fine - I was seated swiftly by a friendly host about half an hour before close. Waitress was nice, coffee was old/burned but hot, and food came fairly quickly. Unfortunately that’s where it began to decline. The sausage gravy was awful, by far the worst I’ve ever had - thin, more like warm milk or cream than anything resembling a respectable gravy. It was generally flavorless, and with hardly any sausage. The biscuit the gravy underneath was dry and too salty. The “upgraded” banana nut pancakes were supposed to be cinnamon pancakes but were clearly just the standard buttermilk, just with sliced banana and a sprinkle of normal (not candied) pecans on top, not inside the pancakes. Last, the syrup on the table was not warm, and was just standard corn syrup-based. The pancakes were decent and at least edible compared to the gravy. Overall, while the service was friendly and quick, I would not come back here, and after my visit I wished I’d just gone to Waffle House.

It got a bit loud for a Monday morning; but there was no wait. The food was good, the portions large. The service was friendly and prompt. Took some pancakes back with us and enjoyed later. My son ventured to try the Reese’s peanut butter cup pancake; and he said it was even better than he hoped.

atmosphere was very welcoming!! just like a cozy cabin inside! for a party of 2 there was no wait! pancakes were delicious and not overly sweet!! it was definitely super busy even around lunch but not too busy to where we had to wait on our server for too long !

Flapjacks Pancake Cabin never disappoints! I ordered the dragon fruit juice, coffee, hash browns, and sausage patties—everything was absolutely perfect. The food came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor, and the coffee hit just right. Even the dragon fruit juice was refreshing and unique. Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and great service all around. Definitely a must-stop breakfast spot!

We had a good experience! Our breakfast was served quick, but we weren't thrilled with the coffee. My pancakes, as well as my wife's egg breakfast, was very good. She said that the hash browns were the best she ever had.

Came here to check out the place and we were not disappointed. Matt was a great host and server! We ordered several items and a couple of appetizers. All were really good. The place has a full bar if you want to have an alcoholic drink along with your food; highly recommend the pineapple habenero margarita! My friend had that, I tried it and it was really good (I didn't order because of the calories lol). Talking about calories, don't go expecting to stay on your diet! This is a place to indulge. They also have a large video arcade along with a mini (duck or needle or something) bowling alley which was a lot of fun.

What a fun experience. It was clean, staff were inviting and our server, Monica, was great. She took the time to help us make a decision on our meal, made sure we were satisfied, and even gave us other recommendations on where to go since we are new in town (visiting for a couple of days). She was super personable & it was a pleasure having her as our server. Made the experience that much more enjoyable. If you're a burger person the Big Mac N'Cheese burger was delicious with its endless toppings!

Our waiter Gunnar was excellent! He was very kind, kept my water refilled, patient with me taking pictures, & helped when I had questions about the food! Gunnar definitely added to our experience there! Thank you to him! The food we ordered was delicious! We were looking for some place different to eat & found it! We will definitely recommend & be back in the future!

Downtown Flavortown is more than just a restaurant—it’s a whole experience. We had a great time with our server Sara K! Whether you’re a die-hard Guy Fieri fan or just someone looking for a unique night out in Pigeon Forge, this spot hits all the right notes. Come hungry, bring your sense of adventure, and get ready to roll out of there with a full belly and a big smile. This place isn’t just about food—it’s an experience. The arcade is massive! Plus, there’s bowling—but not your typical lanes. These ones are decked out in bright colors and a full-on party vibe. It was a huge unexpected surprise and I even won a cute little duck! Just go!

My family loved Downtown Flavortown! The food was delicious and the games were a hit. The kids all had the macaroni kids' meals and loved them. Each meal comes with a $10 arcade card, which makes it a pretty good deal. My wife and I split the nachos, and they were more than enough for the two of us. We definitely enjoyed them. The arcade has a great variety of games, including a couple of pinball machines, which I always look out for. You can also earn tickets and exchange them for prizes.

This place was absolutely amazing! Great atmosphere and even better food! Nicole was our server and provided us with top notch service. She even recommended some of her favorites, one being the Blackened Salmon which I decided to give a try and it was absolutely delicious!! 10/10 recommend.

Monica was an absolute delight! Great service and on top of any needs. Hurricane bowl felt like it was never ending. The Mac daddy buffalo chicken was delicious, husband loved his rack of ribs, and the cookie skillet dessert was perfect to finish off a great meal! Our second time visiting, will come by again when in town.

People always ask about a hidden gem to eat at and here it is. As soon as you walk in. You'll instantly know you're somewhere special. So, I hope you find it. There are so many places to eat in Pigeon Forge. This one is in the top 3. The owner and staff are a top notch team. A couple minutes there and you know this is built from passion and soul. I cannot state enough how good this place is. So set your GPS on their address and press start !! You'll thank me later.

Came in as 4 and was seated within 5 minutes even though they have a small amount of tables. Ordered the Grilled Cheese Philly and it was very flavorful full of cheese, steak, peppers and onions. We also ordered the pancakes and boy are they amazing even though they are thick they are light and fluffy and just as flavorful. There are many different types of pancakes you can get but all will be wonderful. The welcoming attitude was juat as wonderful as the food. Everyone should check this little cafe out the food is one of the best in Pigeon Forge.

When in TN you MUST EAT at Little Black Bear Cafe! The Hillbilly Grit Bowl was amazing. The owner Lynn is was so sweet and made us feel like family. The food was so yummy I had to go back for lunch before he closed! I was warned that he DOES NOT do food Togo… so I showed up with containers so I could enjoy a waterfall with my fiancé. He smiled and accommodates us ♥️. Thank you Little Black Bear Cafe for some fantastic food and being a part of my TN memories.

This place was very good. I would definitely stop by if you have the time. It is small, so large parties may not be able to be accommodated, however it is worth it. Our food was hot and fresh. My wife remarked that she's she hardly ever gets food so fresh that she has to wait to eat it. Extremely good. I would recommend to the Reuben. Note: they serve Pepsi products

This is a quaint, cozy café with a perfectly simple and delicious menu. I would call it more of a diner, which is exactly what we wanted at the time. (Note: They only serve regular coffee, so if you're going there for something fancy, it is not the place. I noticed he had to respectfully tell a couple of people that they are not a coffee shop). The biscuits and gravy were truly one of, if not the, best I've ever had. I wanted to put the gravy on everything, and that's not normally like me to do. I believe that he said they make their own in-house chocolate cream cheese, which they pipe into their version of a Bear Claw brownie dessert on the menu. That part of the dessert itself tasted fantastic, almost like a brownie batter. I didn't know what a Bear Claw was to begin with, but he made sure to note that the one they serve is their own version and differs greatly from a regular Bear Claw. You can even get a cute shirt in different sizes saying you survived eating it! I didn't feel that we earned the right to buy that shirt, though. But it was good! They do offer several other awesome souvenirs, and for only $3.99, I was able to take home a well-made keychain to remember our trip. I got the feeling immediately that the waiter was possibly also the owner. He seemed to take pride in the place, was friendly and quick to greet everyone, maintained good communication, and clearly very knowledgeable and well-rehearsed. Things to note: - The seating is limited. There were either 4 or 5 tables total, located on one side of the wall. Serving was quick, however, and no one seemed to wait very long at all. - The water is always self-serve, easily available in the soda dispenser machine across from the tables. - They do not bring a check to the table; you just come up and pay when you're ready. - They do have a single stall restroom, if needed. - Service is terrific; food was great; coffee was smooth. It's worth a stop if you're in the area! I'll definitely be back when I get a chance to go that way again.

The owner came out and greeted us himself, what a kind man! Our food was served hot and quickly and we devoured our bagel sandwiches. Great atmosphere—there are phone charging usb ports at the tables and it looks like they do free movie nights with snacks monthly. They also sell jam and relish which looks delicious.

There are hidden gems among the many chain restaurants and Lil Black Bear Cafe is one of them. Chef Lynn has constructed a small but flavor intense menu. Walk in the door and feel like family! Get one of the daily specials because they go quick.

First visit. I tried the breakfast buffet. $13.99 is a very reasonable price. The bacon and the fresh pineapple were excellent. But the gravy is what you would find at any hotel breakfast, and the cinnamon rolls were almost inedible. Still, no complaints, there's plenty of good food. But I like a buffet so that I can try a variety of items, not because I want a large quantity of food. So for those of you like me, I recommend ordering fresh from the menu.

Reagan’s House of Pancakes is a fantastic spot for a delicious breakfast. The food is fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, the scrambled eggs were fluffy and buttery, and the bacon was crispy with just the right amount of savory bite. Everything on the plate tasted like true homemade comfort food, the kind that starts your morning off right. The atmosphere has that cozy, classic breakfast-house charm, and the staff are warm and attentive, which makes the whole experience feel welcoming and relaxed. It’s the kind of place where you can sit down, enjoy a hearty meal, and leave smiling and satisfied. If you’re in the area and craving a great breakfast, Reagan’s House of Pancakes is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

We eat our free breakfast here every year! I usually get the buffet. But you can't beat $7 after taxes. Not for all the food they give you. FRESH!!!! So hot you gotta give it a sec to cool. Or just hafafaffaf till it cools down. Atmosphere is delightful. Makes me feel like a old southern Sunday brunch. Will always come here. Even when I don't stay at a corresponding hotel, I will have breakfast here. 2025

Food was pretty good we got the Buffet! They have a lot to choose from! The pancakes and French toast with the toppings was our favorite! Everyone was really nice and the place was clean! And 13.99 for a breakfast buffet you can’t beat that!

First time eating there. The breakfast buffet is the way to go. You can get anything you want on it. If I had any complaints at all it was the apples were cold. I had thought they were heated since they was in the middle of all the heated items. Our waiter was a hustler they was really busy when we was there but he kept his area covered. I definitely would recommend this place and we will be going back.

Cheap family Restaurant. Buffet has sausage, bacon, eggs, pancakes and the usual. They also have a menu to order from for smaller appetites. Buffet is $13.99 per adult. 8 think kid's were 8 or 9 dollars.

We visited Reagan's because our hotel included a breakfast voucher good for pancakes which you could upgrade to the buffet. The first day, I had pancakes. But after taking a look at the buffet, that's what we ordered for the rest of our stay. You could not possibly leave anywhere close to hungry, and that's not just from stuffing your face. There is something on that buffet for everyone. Leave room for a cinnamon roll or two, the vats of buttercream frosting are always full and hot. The red neon sign outside is a liar, though. It always says "Immediate Seating", the red glow illuminating the many people standing around outside, waiting for a table. :) :)

The atmosphere was lovely with elevated views of the Island square. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was meh. On par with mid range buffet quality. The biscuits were fluffy and out of this world, unfortunately the rest was disappointing. The pork chops looked steamed and soggy. The meatloaf was almost overly tender and the tomato glaze tasted like plain ketchup. Everything from greens, gravy, and okra were too salty. Great experience, but overall I would pass on eating at Paula Deen's again.

Service was great. Food was not good at all…..everything tasted like it came out of a box and just warmed. Like canned food. But the service was great. Also there was dripping all over the side of the dishes as they brought the food out. Presentation of food is very unappealing. The chicken dumplings taste like packet chicken soup and the sibling are way too chewy and rubbery. Creamy mashed potatoes taste like boxed potatoes. And Mac and cheese taste like craft Mac and cheese straight out the box.

Excellent food, and service! We went on a busy Sunday, and waited an hour. I'm not complaining, because we passed time on the Island until they texted when our table was ready. The gift shop was very nice, and affordable. The food was incredible! We ordered the 3 meal family dinner and had enough that we couldn't finish it all. We drank blueberry and strawberry lemonade that was so refreshing. The inside was nice and clean. We had a beautiful view of the island from the big windows, while sitting on the second floor. The only complaint I have is the restrooms are downstairs, and very small! So be sure to use the bathroom before being seated, otherwise you will have to take a trip back down the escalator.

The food alone would not bring me back, but the whole experience is what makes it a repeat! Dont get wrong, the food was good, but just your average food. It is served home style which is a nice way to get a little of everything verses what's usually just brought out on your plate. Being just my husband and myself, the basic pick plan was more then enough food with leftovers to spare. Your adventure starts when you arrive and check in (if you made a reservation). In the meantime the whole entrance floor is a store featuring many Paul Deen exclusive merchandise and great props for photo opportunities. When received a text after 10 minutes letting us know to make our way to the host stand. From there you are taken upstairs to the open dinning area. The view was great!! In this location you're overlooking the island and the famous Faris wheel. Made you feel like you were in the space needle in a sorta way. Our waiter was fast, and very friendly. We found ourselves chatting with other tables and comparing what dishes we each had tried. I would recommend, was had a great time. Thank you to all the staff and hopefully next time we're in town we'll see y'all again!

This was our second time eating here and enjoyed it just as much. It was fairly busy so I recommend making a reservation. It was a little slow once we were seated to see our server, but after that the drinks and food were quick to arrive. Food is bottomless. We got the fried chicken, chicken and dumplings, and fried fish. For our sides, we chose the creamed corn, green beans, Mac n cheese, and creamed potatoes. For me the highlights were the fried fish and green beans. Would return again!

The fish was good the chicken was ok. The quantity of food they serve even for one person is quite a lot. Although the taste could improve a bit, the cream corn was nice and the okra the rice could change to the mac and cheese. The lemonade was quite sweet, but the caramel cake was nice though.

We would give this place a 5 but our waiter Key was simply awful. Not sure he understands the gratuity system for tips, he had a poor attitude, was lazy and we had to ask for everything. Waited nearly 10 minutes just to take our drink and order. We saw the other waitstaff walk by a hundred times and him hardly ever. Couldn’t get more drinks, had to beg for seconds and we got the dessert which had no whipped cream or ice cream like everyone else’s did and we couldn’t get the dirty dishes off the table. As far as the food it was phenomenal. We have been to Paula Deen’s in Savannah and used to eat at the one in Foley Alabama routinely before it closed. Love Paula Deen’s wish the service was better for us.

Found the best sandwich in Tennessee. The pimento cheese blt is the quintessential southern sandwich. So good! We enjoyed everything we got and will definitely be adding this to our regular spots to eat! Family friendly. Clean. Good portion sizes. A little pricey but the portions help make up for it. It was hard to find parking so we almost missed out.

Nice restaurant in downtown Pigeon Forge. Had about a 20 minute wait. You can sit outside or inside at umbrella tables. We were seated inside near a window and it was a nice view. We had the shrimp and grits and the maple pork chop. Pork chop was really good, had been open fire grilled. Was not dry and had a good taste. Shrimp and grits were good too. Got a side of jalapeno corn casserole and if you love lots of cream cheese, you will like it. Had a one glass of Moscato, not the best, it was a bit bitter. Total bill was $44. Service was excellent and there was not a lengthy wait for food. Bought a loaf of cinnamon pecan raisin bread on the way out, it is pretty dry but might be better toasted with butter and preserves.

The service was pretty good. The wait was ridiculously long. There were parties getting seated before us even though they came after us. They claimed they had texted us earlier but we never got the text,so make sure they get your phone number right. I actually heard the same problem when we were leaving happening to another family. The food is reasonably priced, but not the best around. The atmosphere is cute.

We snagged an outside table at the back on a lovely afternoon which was beautiful and relaxing. We tried the soup and sandwich combos. The triple club was perfect. The dressing added was the perfect addition to kick it up a notch. The vegetable beef soup was tasty, I prefer mine with chunks of meat instead of hamburger but it still ranked high on the soup scale. My mom had the French onion soup which she enjoyed, no skimping on the cheese topping here! The service was a little slow but with the beautiful surroundings it was nice to slow down a bit and just enjoy the company of those at the table.

The food was good, Service was good and they offered indoor and outdoor seating. Very beautiful gardens to sit among. The homemade loaded chips are fantastic! Highly recommend. Good place for families to eat. Affordable menu.

As soon as you start to walk into the property, you are greeted by a beautiful courtyard area, with many different types of vegetation, as well as a very nice outdoor seating area. When you walk inside the restaurant the atmosphere is immediately striking. The food was very good. I highly recommend the quiche because its filling, delicious, and inexpensive. I will say out waitress wasn't bad, but she wasn't good. However, I would not let that stop me from eating here again.

If you’re looking for delicious Southern food done right, this is the place. The cozy atmosphere, excellent service, and high-quality dishes made for a fantastic experience. We especially loved the pecan-crusted chicken with toasted marshmallow moonshine sauce and the shrimp & grits—both were amazing! Our group also enjoyed the pork platter, black and blue steak, fried green tomatoes, and the coconut cream pie. I even loved the dishware so much that I visited the pottery shop and brought some home. Can’t wait to come back!

It’s the kind of place you go once to experience but it’s not going to become a favorite. The food was good and proportions decent but nothing spectacular and it’s on the pricey side, definitely feels like you’re paying more for the atmosphere than the food itself. I will say though that the carnival alcoholic drink I got was phenomenal! We bought one group photo from the photographer but only because it felt very pushy and like we were super pressured to even after saying no thanks at first. Overall, still pretty nice and the building is very unique inside and out, liked it enough to buy a souvenir in the gift shop.

After spending the day at The Island in Pigeon Forge, we decided to grab a bite at Margaritaville before leaving. The host was very polite, and since it was early in the day during the week, it wasn’t busy at all—we were seated immediately. Our waitress was friendly. Unfortunately, my meal fell short of expectations. I ordered the Jerk Salmon (jerk-glazed, sautéed spinach, basmati rice) and asked to swap the spinach for another side, only to be told it was actually a garnish, not a side. That seemed a bit odd to me, but I decided to go without the veggie. The salmon itself was overcooked and the glaze seemed to be missing—probably the driest salmon I’ve had in a while. On the other hand, my friend’s Grilled Chicken Sandwich was good, and the overall service was pleasant. I’d be willing to give Margaritaville another try in the future and hope the kitchen hits the mark next time.

First time trying this location in Pigeon Forge and it was good. Our server Abby was a rockstar!!! She took great care of us and was all over it!!! Appetizers and food came out great and everything was delicious. Kudos to Abby, their management and staff.

We were a little hesitant to try this place because of some negative reviews. Their menu was large and sounded so good, so we decided to go and make our own opinion. We went at 5:30, just before the rush on restaurants in this area during vacation season. The restaurant was busy, but we were seated quickly. Our server, Tamara, greeted us quickly and our service throughout our meal was superb. Our food was delicious, came out in a timely manner, was hot, fresh and very eye appealing. The Chicken Tinga Bowl was one of the best I have ever had! So for us, it’s a 5 star and we would return again when in the area.

I was really excited for my visit to margaritaville. I’m a sucker for the beach and was looking forward to some sea food. We got sat immediately which was nice because it was a Sunday. The waitress was also very nice. My problem was the food, which unfortunately is the most important part about a restaurant. I got the fish sandwich. It came out really dark looking and overcooked looking. The outside was really dry and somehow the inside seemed raw. It was pretty pink and not a flaky white color like cooked fish should be. The slaw was also really bland and just tasted like plain cabbage. Needless to say I was not very satisfied. Overall I really like the vibe and looks of the place but for what I paid and got I probably won’t be back.

This was a totally fun experience! Our waiter was so funny. The food was absolutely delicious and so were the cocktails. You feel like you are in the tropics at this restaurant.

I wanted a margarita and a “Cheeseburger in Paradise” at Margaritaville. The drink was good and the food was decent. Small gift shop. Photographer takes pictures and provides a free postcard with the option to buy additional pictures. I think it would have been more fun at night and sitting outside.

Good food and service, was able to get a table on a busy day at the Island. The restaurant is located in the Island shopping experience. Parking is far away. You have to walk or take a shuttle, which can take 30 minutes to arrive and maybe full. This restaurant offers a gluten-free menu and large booths for bigger groups. Bison burger is great. Steak tips were good, and more mashed potatoes would have made this better.

We had a wonderful experience at Timberwood Grill! This is our 3rd year going and we've made it our tradition to always go when in the area. There was little to no wait, which was such a pleasant surprise for a busy area, and it's in the perfect location for shopping and exploring before or after dinner. Everything we ordered came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. My absolute favorite was the bourbon glaze salmon with rice and green beans - perfectly cooked, tender, and the glaze was the pertect balance of sweet and savory. We also tried the fried chicken with white gravy, mashed potatoes, and coleslaw, and it tasted just like true southern comfort food. The potato skins were crispy and loaded, the mac and cheese was creamy and rich, the ribs were tender and fell right off the bone, and the chicken tenders and fries were perfectly seasoned with great dipping sauces. Even the fish and chips were light, crispy, and flavorful, and the salad was fresh and piled high with cheese and bacon. The staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the whole atmosphere felt warm and inviting - perfect for families, couples, or groups. We left completely satisfied and will definitely be coming back next time we're in the area!

10/10 Recommend!!! My husband and I came up to the area for our anniversary and my birthday. This restaurant was recommended to us by some locals, who said it was better than Paula Dean’s, and they weren't lying!!! Everything we had was on point. Very well seasoned, and fresh and hot. We ordered the sampler for an appetizer. For lunch, I had the shrimp bowl, and my husband had the bourbon-glazed salmon. This will definitely be a restaurant we return to when we come back. Our total was a little over $80 (excluding tip).

After being told it would be a 70+ minute wait anywhere else, my husband, baby, and I walked in to Timberwood. We were able to get seated right away. The atmosphere was nice and matched a forest/woodland/cabin theme. Kid appropriate. I ordered the Twin Forks Kickin Chicken, which was essentially just a chicken fried chicken, which comes with mashed potatoes and choice of one side. The food was pretty good. Nothing over the top amazing, but a decent, solid choice. Much better quality than some other local “touristy” spots. The price was fair at around $20 for the meal. Portion sizes were perhaps below average. Overall I would opt to try more new places given how many restaurant there are here, but would return if there were long waits or inconvenient other options. It’s a safe bet.

Last minute decision while we were at The Island in Pigeon Forge, great choice. Seated immediately and our waitress introduced herself and disclosed that it was her third day on the job and asked if we would please be kind as she was new. We rolled with it and made jokes to help her relax a bit. We could tell she was nervous and it felt as if another customer had not been so friendly. She was just trying to do her best and everyone has to start somewhere. Ordered some Loaded Cracklins which she brought out within 5 minutes and told us she "whipped them up as fast as I could for ya" and they were delicious. Next we had some Black Jack BBQ wings and those were very good. Last was the Fried Bologna Sandwich (we were a little skeptical to order this) but it turned out to be delicious and a very hearty portion. This unexpected lunch stop turned out to be a great choice for a great price and we made our waitress laugh.

Got the buffalo shrimp. We went to enjoy the rest of our day on the island. 30 minutes later I got food poisoning! Spent my last day of vacation sick and throwing up. Restaurant replied food poisoning doesn’t happen that quickly. Sadly you own a restaurant and don’t understand that 1. Staphylococcus aureus (Staph food poisoning) Can happen within 30 minutes to 6 hours. 2. Bacillus cereus (emetic type) Can also happen within 30 minutes to 6 hours. 3. Chemical contaminants can happen within minutes. So while E. coli and salmonella typically take longer. Most definitely OTHER food related illnesses that can happen. It was the ONLY place I ate at that day. So it’s pretty easy to narrow it down. So instead of taking accountability, the restaurant decided to act like it’s not possible. Hopefully this review helps others. And hopefully it’ll educate the owner who shouldn’t be working with food if they don’t understand this.

We enjoyed this so much for lunch a couple days later we came back again for dinner. Chicken pot pie, burgers, steak all very good. They also have a nice beer selection and even with a group of 10 plus our server was very attentive.

Smoky’s Brewery was very good! We went on a Friday evening and it was clear this is a popular weekend spot, so I’d definitely recommend making a reservation if you plan to go. The atmosphere was lively, with great live music adding to the fun. The service was a little slow, but that’s to be expected on a busy weekend, and it didn’t take away from the experience. Overall, good food, good drinks, and a great vibe — worth checking out if you’re in Pigeon Forge!

The pizza was great and they have a nice selection of beer on tap, but the customer service at the bar really brought the experience down. The bartender was extremely unfriendly, which made it hard to enjoy the visit. I’ll probably check out a few other places before coming back here.

We had a great dinner here while in town. Nice big and open area. Big tables for groups. Live music. Good beer selections. We shared wings with the house sauce and a white pizza with chicken and tomatoes. Both were delicious!

Excellent service and great food that is consistently good. They also have a specials menu which today included cheese curds. They were phenomenal with excellent cheese pull. The onion rings also deserve a special shout out with a fresh, light crisp batter.

Went here twice. The woman waitress we had on Thursday night was on top of her game but the band was loud so you couldn’t really talk. It was more quiet on Friday, However, our waiter Wes forgot to put my order in so I didn’t get my pizza until after everyone I was with was completely done eating. And we still got charged for it. I didn’t even want it by then because I had no time to eat it. Bad service in my opinion.

Sorry the camera did not eat first!! That's because the food here is that good!! We stumbled across this gem while visiting a card and memorabilia store in the same little mini mall area. So good we came back a few days later to enjoy it again but for supper this time. The staff was great both times, with checking in on us plenty of times. Drinks were never below half when they would ask if we wanted more. The atmosphere was great even though my husband and I neither drink. It can get a little loud at times but not terrible. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good burger, Philly or pizza, all which we all had. Till next time, stay fanatic!!

Ngl, very mid. I’ve learned around here some places you just shouldn’t get food to go, you need to go inside and dine in to get the best service. I work in the service industry and know it can be challenging to get things perfect especially in very busy environments, however it is disheartening being on the other end paying nearly $70 and many things being dissatisfactory and taking it to go so no way to fix the issue because once you realize it, you’re already home. After a 35 minute wait the fries were stale, ended up not getting any jalapeño sauce put on my burger, if i wanted a plain burger I would’ve gone with the cheaper option 🥲 They forgot to give us our potato salad, the nachos were soggy already and we only live 10 minutes away. Definitely done getting to go orders from restaurants around here including this one. We have dined in here once and it was great, but sadly experiences like this make you hesitant to want to go back.

Enjoyed the artifacts, food was good, we had lunch and decaf coffee, plenty of parking. They have a small and pricey gift shop. I enjoyed seeing quite a few county star exhibits. A dress of Dolly Pardon , a guitar of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Shania Twain...ect. Service was OK, not fantastic needed to ask for refils as coffee cups are small. However waitress was pleasant, food was hot and correct as I have allergies to many causes used.

Loved the atmosphere in there. The food was spectacular. We got New York strips and it was melt in your mouth tender. The salad was good. Mashed potatoes were so creamy and flavorful. Our waitress, Jessica, was extremely attentive and kind. Would definitely go back!

Hard Rock Cafe – Pigeon Forge, TN What an unexpectedly great time! We stopped in for a casual visit and walked into a full-on experience. From the moment we sat at the bar, the energy was high, the service was fantastic, and the music? Legendary. The Legendary Kincaid Band played a two-hour set that brought serious rock energy to the night. Live music in a venue designed for it — perfect. The bartenders were friendly, efficient, and even treated us to a complimentary daiquiri sample, just because. Drinks and food for two hours came in under $70 — solid value for a night out in a tourist town. Bonus? The custom Orange County Chopper (OCC) on display — a head-turning masterpiece straight from the iconic American Chopper show. If you’re into bikes or nostalgia, this alone is worth the visit. In short: cold drinks, hot tunes, and a welcoming atmosphere. Hard Rock nailed it. Rock on, Pigeon Forge. 🤘

our server jessica was awesome. very friendly, helpful and patient. we waited a bit for our server, but the host should have helped out and gave a heads up, especially since it was so late at night. jessica was perfect! the food was amazing. the messi chicken sandwich was the best chicken sandwich i have ever had in my life.

France’s was phenomenal! She created the new Appalachian burger. It was amazing! My favorite part was the fried green tomato alongside the smash burger beef patties… You have to try it! This was a five star meal! The kids got chicken fingers and my significant other got the chicken fajitas. Thanks so much for a fantastic meal… We will be back!

Our visit to Hard Rock Cafe was beyond amazing. The service was was awesome. We made a reservation before going and the whole staff wrote us a thank you card with all their signatures. Our watress Kaytlyne was very attentive and checked up on us frequently. We had other staff check up on us too. The food was amazing. I got the surf and turf burger. I’m a sucker for shrimp and slaw. The burger was very well made too. I got a peanut butter cocktail which was nice too. I really liked the aesthetic of the place and all the memorabilia. I highly recommend checking this place out on your next trip in the pigeon forge area. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the area again!

Walked in the restaurant had very few customers was told it would be a 15 minute wait. Walked over to the store and immediately got a text. We were seated at 515. We waited 15 minutes for the waitress to come to the table. We ordered drinks and food and we still sit here at 603 no food the waitress has not been back we have three empty drinks on the table and it is still dead in here. Absolutely awful. Oh and when you walk in a nice guy takes photos he then comes to your table and attempts to sell you a photo for a good deal $75 for 4 photos. We said no thanks not interested and he continued to stand trying to sell photos after we said no 5 times. Horrible experience. Will never return to a Hard Rock.

We always enjoy cracker barrel. Our server was very pleasant. The only thing i think should happen is to offer military/veteran discounts all the time not just a certain day for a pancake meal because not everyone can visit on that day. We travel alot and always enjoy cracker barrel

We were feeling hungry staying at Gatlinburg but all the local restaurants were very touristy and artificially inflated. I noticed that there was a local Cracker Barrel just 10 min away. I was happy to drive there as I know the quality of the food and prices were very reasonable. We were greeted right as we walked in the restaurant in Pigeon Forge seated right away. Our server Katherine R. was very attentive and friendly. My mom ordered the rainbow trout and I had the Honey Butter Fried chicken. All the food came out freshly prepared and delicious. We were checked on both by Katherine as well as the associate manager Jeremy M. on multiple occasions. My sweet tea was always refilled. Where else can you have a complete meal for two with drinks costly only 43 with tip. I highly recommend people try out the Cracker Barrel off 3960 Parkway, Pigeon Forge and skip all that commercialism restaurants next town over. You won’t be disappointed.

Good food at good value. Love the country store - so many old fashioned items and goodies. Typically quick service once seated, but often have to wait for a table. Broccoli didn’t have much flavor. Spend time in the general Store - lots of fun just looking through the items!

Debra, our waitress, was so polite. She had several tables, but we did not run out of drinks, and she checked on us regularly. The food was really good and the atmosphere was so calm and relaxing. The gift shop was clean and orderly, and the bathrooms were neat and clean as wellI highly recommend Cracker Barrell, especially for breakfast.

Our food was very good. It could have been hotter because most of it was just warm. Our server was Rhonda and she was excellent. Made a fresh pot of decaf for me. She came back often to see what we needed.

Our server gave excellent service. She was kind and caring, and made sure we had what we needed. I also loved the size of the store. Everything was spaced so that you didn't feel crowded. Thanks for a great experience!

We got there close to closing. The staff was friendly & assured us that we were fine, even getting there so late. Our food was hot & fresh. Our server was polite & kind & got us any & everything we needed & wanted. It was a great time & experience.

Martini connoisseurs may not be found here especially gin & vermouth drinkers (They don't carry vermouth) The manager made it happen for me & my girl. Great off the beat place. Roaring Harley Davidson's across the street. Five stars!

Service should be a 6, at least. The staff are all awesome. It was hot as Hades but we still sat out back after being at the bar for a bit. The waitress was super attentive and kept us going strong. Overall a really good experience. Would definitely go back. Our bill was high because of all the drinks, but their prices are fair.

Listen. As a business owner who travels to new places every other month I know how important a genuine review is to every establishment. I read reviews, I honor them and I respect them. I do not leave reviews often BUT this place deserves praise as the food and service was the best we received in our stay here! I am gluten free and the menu is marked for gluten free foods which I greatly appreciate! The bartender Francis was phenomenal! He was personable, made amazing cocktails, has beautiful stories to tell and was all around attentive. The staff as a whole is ON THEIR A GAME! A drink never, and I mean NEVER, set in the window as the servers were ready to deliver it as soon as the ticket was printed. The manager has his shit together and runs a well ran place! Like I said I hardly leave reviews but Francis and the whole staff really made an impression! We need places like this to survive and thrive as there are very few left with great drinks, food and service! I don’t know if they are “locally” owned but the love they put into their dishes and drinks certainly felt as so! 💕

Of all the places I've visited in the US (Canadian) over the years. This bar is definitely one of my favorites. The greatest atmosphere. Great people. Great bartenders. Just a great time. So glad I was able to enjoy a couple nights during my stay in town. Can't wait to come back!

Samantha is the best; sweet and energetic! Michael and the Bearded Bourbon Daddies live music on the open air patio bar were phenomenal! We were there as out of state visitors and were welcomed like locals! Love you guys!

This place is the spot!! Biker friendly and a nice break from all the touristy stuff. I’m mad at myself for not finding this place until our last night here! 10/10 recommend! The staff is super friendly and amazing, the food is awesome, and the drinks are great! When you stop in, be sure to ask for Francis, he is AWESOME!!!

Always a great place to hang out, listen to a local band, grab a bite to eat and a cold beer. Ordered tenders with fries, they brought out a platter with tenders only. When I asked about the fries, they explained they were out so I asked for onion rings as a replacement. Glad I got onion rings instead, they were great

We loved this place! The food was amazing, the environment super cozy and they were super kind with us and with our dog. Its pet friendly! My doggy was so thirsty and the waitress brought water with ice for my furry friend. We all enjoyed our experience here! The prices are good as well! You are eating in front of a river with nice music. I would definitely come back!

There are plenty of places to eat in the area, this one seemed to feel more higher-end than others. The food for lunch was excellent, had the flatbread and shrimp tacos. Both were very delicious. The amount could have been bigger, but was satisfying without being too much. The only disappointment was the drinks, the Margaritas were small in disposable plastic cups and over packed with ice. Go for the food though, and you won't miss. The location is great and they had the the large doors open to give it a tropical breezy feel while being in the shade.

It is so nice to sit here and people watch going to The Island and eat great food. The chicken wings were great and the Tennessee Pork Nachos are huge! Great service from Blair.

I usually don’t write reviews, but I’m so upset I have to. The food here was terrible. My son ate the cheese pizza and got sick — he had a stomachache and even threw up. The pizza tasted like frozen pizza just reheated. The steak tacos had the meat cut way too thick, it was chewy and hard to eat, and the chips on the side looked like they just opened a bag from the grocery store. The chicken wrap tasted like something from Costco — absolutely awful. On top of that, the bill had a 20% tip automatically added. The waitress only brought our drinks and food once and never came back to check on us. Food, service, everything was a mess. Never coming back.

Walked into the restaurant due to there being no host at the door and was promptly told to go back to the door and see the host (which wasn’t there) we then waited 15 mins for the host to show up and she never did so we asked the front desk lady to seat us and she did very nicely. Waited over 30 mins for our appetizer, and then told the server we didn’t want it anymore. (The restaurant was empty) The manger did offer us a drink as a replacement but at that point we wanted to eat. Another 20 mins later still no food and at that point our sever had only come by once. The people next to us had been there before us and was still waiting. We decided to leave. 0/10 experience.

Ordered "The Perfect Margarita" and it was VERY strong. If you're looking for the most alcohol for your money, highly recommend! The food was phenomenal and it beats waiting 40 minutes for Margaritaville! Fish and chips were amazing as well with a really good tartar sauce and exceptional cole slaw. Also had the spicy chicken sandwich and while not that spicy, it was still really good. Don't let any negative reviews deter you from trying this place. Our overall experience was very positive and wouldn't hesitate to come back.

We sat in the bar area. The atmosphere was okay. Probably the only reason I didn't give it a five is the menu was very limited. Both of us really liked the food though. I got the fish and chips. We would probably go back but not with a group due to the menu size and only if we were targeting a specific item that was on their menu.

Fred was the best! Made us feel special as we tasted so many great wines. Accommodated us on our scooters inside the shop. He knew his products mixing various ones to give unique tastes. What a great experience!

I don’t write many reviews, but since I do work in retail and consumer goods I feel like it’s necessary. My wife and I visited Tennessee Homemade Wines in Tanger Outlet with a tour we booked alongside our Airbnb. First time ever booking an experience like this before and visiting Sevierville. The location its self was well-organized, pristine and easy to navigate. They provide a selection of flavor profiles for wines and cider’s I wouldn’t have ever thought of. It did take a while for the tasting to begin. I’m assuming due to some unclear communication of our tour arriving and which exact tour we were (they service numerous tours and sometimes simultaneously). However, myself and other patrons did notice on the counter in front of us a FaceTime conversation taking placing between BAM and another young man. Another server came over, introduced himself and began to start getting us set up. A few minutes later BAM began to take over the tour (multitasking on his FaceTime call) and started grabbing a few wines and sample cups to set out. He did eventually end his FaceTime call, but a little too late on the professionalism. Now I do have a sense of humor and enjoy a little banter amongst strangers. But apparently that’s not how BAM likes to conduct his tours. If I asked a question regarding a cider or wine he would respond “Now I already answered that”. At first I thought it was his humor, but as the tour went on and I asked any other questions he wouldn’t respond. To the point where the couple next to us said “Is he seriously ignoring you or is this part of a joke?”. Towards the end on my last question I actually raised my hand prior and confirmed acknowledgement before asking BAM a question (somewhat humorous and petty of me I know, but my New Yorker side came out). “Oh is it me? It’s my turn? I just want to make sure, I don’t want any problems.” (in a snarky tone, I’ll admit). After that I honestly disengaged, looked to find the restroom as the other guests in my tour shopped around. The Jalapeño Sauvignon Blanc, was truly AMAZING and caught my eye when we walked into the establishment. But at the end of the tasting I was no longer interested in making a purchase, or leaving a generous tip. Lastly, my wife and I were celebrating our 5 year wedding anniversary together. But also I personally was looking to distract myself—due to today also being the 1 year anniversary of my Father’s death. So, BAM I’m not exactly sure if that’s just your style on how you like to conduct your tastings/tours. Or if that’s just your sense of humor, and maybe it just wasn’t my taste. But, I was looking forward to a tasting tour with my wife that was a bit more immersive and engaging. And trust me today of all days, I SINCERELY needed distraction.

Must visit Tennessee Homemade Wines in Gatlinburg, TN—and be sure to see Fred! He’s awesome! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and easy-going. Fred gave us great recommendations on what to mix the wines with for more flavorful drinks (like adding which flavors to coffee—amazing!). My husband and I had such a great time here and will definitely be back to see Fred again!

Amanda was so lovely with our winery trail sale! This was our last stop, we came in and chatted with her while doing our samples and she had excellent recommendations! Really made our experience one of a kind and a perfect close out to the trail; we would recommend to anyone going on the trail to finish here!

Kyle was a great server! The wines & ciders were great, & it was our last stop on the Gatlinburg Wine Trail so we got our matching t-shirts! Big family vacation & everyone loved the tastings.

We had our tasting with Bam today and he was seriously the best! He was really nice and funny, and so easy to talk to. He kept it laidback and no pressure. We will definitely come back again and I hope Bam is there to help us!

Dani waited on us and she was excellent! Great personality and very helpful! I bought more than I planned on just because of her! Great selection! Great taste! It was hard to narrow it down. ❤️

We always love the apple barn restaurant, but Shanna really made our experience one of a kind!! She provided the best service we have received since being in town. Shanna truly went above & beyond to make sure we were satisfied. My toddler absolutely adored her & she made sure he had the BEST time. Our food was amazing as always.

We arrived here for dinner a little late at night but everyone was warm and inviting. The food was amazing from start to finish. We loved every bit of it. I got the trio meal which included chicken pot pie, chicken and dumplings and fried chicken. It was the best chicken and dumplings I have ever had!! Before the meal comes, you get complimentary Juleps and fresh apple fritters with apple butter. You also get a choice of soup. We got broccoli and cheddar soup which was delicious. We got the Mac n cheese, green beans and mashed potatoes. Everything tasted so fresh. We were mesmerized. We had no room for dessert and was so pleased when they let us take it to go. Would definitely recommend and return!

This place is amazing. You get so much for the cost of your meal. Britney, our waitress was very good. Very attentive. And walking around the shops afterwards was a lot of fun. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Well my wife and I tried this place because it was recommended to us. We are from Las Vegas and we did like the service and the area for sure. The food was good, but not as good as we thought it would be. Maybe it was our choices, or the combination of choices. You get 3 side dish PER TABLE not per PERSON. At least that's what that said. Kinda strange option. Because I would probably next time sit alone order for myself, then other my sides including okra, and then go hey friend can I join you, oh look it looks like you have order you sides already, hey let's share... My friend shouldn't be forced to eat sides he don't like or vis-ver-sa. I should be able to order my own. Now I had the pork chops, and they were a bit too salty. But otherwise they are ok. Wife has the grilled catfish, and she too said it was ok. It's a lot of food because of the carbohydrates that come along with the side dishes, and then the desert that comes with it. Of course I wasn't able to eat it at the end. I had them put it to go and it was smashed put together so that was a bit unprofessional. If you eat a lot of food then yes this is the place. But if you don't and you plan to share then don't go here cuz they don't even like people sharing. Would I come here again probably not, But again that's just me. Overall I give it an okay spot..👌

Super packed so get there early . We had a 50min wait with 23 parties ahead of us for a table of 2. Our waiter did the bare minimum, not that we needed a whole bunch but there was just no effort given. My country fried steak was slightly overcooked. Not to the point it was burnt but you could just tell if they cooked it a min or 2 less it'd have been perfect. It was the least satisfying CFS that I've ever eaten. The biscuits & gravy however we're some of the best! We also enjoyed their complimentary apple pineapple juice and beignets. Overall not worth all the hype that was given ,but you get a hefty portion for your $.

Incredible staff, beautiful dining areas with tons of character. Food was not bad, just not great. Looks the part as you can see in the photos and the food was “fine.” Scrambled eggs were like powdered eggs, gravy seems like chain restaurant which this place is not…I’d think they’d rock a great southern country gravy but it was meh. Again, the people are super sweet and attentive. Kitchen needs work…shame this place gets out cooked by Cracker Barrel.

LOVE the outdoor seating. Especially during the winter when they have the fire pit going❤️Great selection of food. Excellent service. Of course everyone loves the Apple Fritters, and apple butter. My only complaint is that they took away the grill cheese sandwich with the chicken noodle soup. That was all of our favorites. Please bring it back

Was looking for a seafood restaurant in the area and came across this place. We tried the spicy shrimp appetizer, fish & chips, and fish sandwich. Everything was fresh and made to order. All three items we had were good. Best thing was there was not a lot of batter on our shrimp and fish. Our server was great very nice gentleman. Overall had a good experience at this restaurant definitely worth a try.

Came for the first time here on a Sunday afternoon on our way out of town. Atmosphere was nice and inviting especially for a nice family dinner. Food was fantastic and came quickly. We had fried pickles for our appetizers. Which were nice. Perfect amount for 2 people to share. My husband had the chicken strip basket and I had the Philly cheesesteak sandwich for our lunch, both were delicious. We will be back to Bullfish on our next time in town!

First time here. The server was very good. Don't remember his name. He was from Russia so management should know who he is to commend him. The food was really good if you don't mind spicy. Literally everything had a kick & that's just not for me. Hubby & son loved it. My whitefish & creamed spinach would've been soooo good if not for that. They loved their meatloaf. Due to the spice & for the price & what you got, we probably won't be back. Only 1 side comes with the meal! The desserts were good, they had no kick! The other thing that was very negative to me was that the music was so loud that you couldn't even hear the people at our table to talk to them. That's why I only gave a 2 on atmosphere. & the spice & loud music is why I could only give a 3 over all rating. But if you like spicy food & loud music, then this place is for you!

Walked in and no wait. Don't skip over Bull fish it's a great place. Music is good too. Our waitress was excellent. She checked on us enough to make sure we didn't need anything. We ordered the Fish & Chips and Ahi Tuna Rice bowl and it didn't disappoint. If I lived in the area I would eat here on a regular basis.

What a Great place to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary dinner! Our server David was lots of fun; he took our anniversary pic for us and checked in several times to make sure all was going well. Our food was so good too. The crab cakes, steak, mashed potatoes, rice & key lime pie were all exceptional! Even the bread before our meal was tasty! There is a nice ambience here and just a top-notch experience!

First of all the waiter Bobby was amazing. He gave us great recommendations. I had the chicken pasta which was really good and Bobby recommended the Pistachio encrusted trout to my boyfriend which was amazing. The bread they bring out while you are waiting is warm and soft with a perfect crust. All in all our new favorite place in Pigeon Forge to eat! We highly recommend ❤️

I ordered their Strawberry Chicken Salad. It was very good and had caramelized pecans, blue cheese crumbs and a honey vinegarette. My companion ordered the meatloaf lunch special. It came with mashed potatoes and crispy onions on top. He said it was good as well. The dining room was nice, but he music was quite loud.

Went later in the evening on a Friday a group of three were at immediately One thing we noticed right away that they were opened after 10 o’clock, which was really good because everything closes early We started off with the spinach, artichoke dip and fried pickles The spinach and artichoke dip is served in a bread bowl and it was delicious and creamy and cheesy one of the best ones we’ve had so far. The fried pickles were super salty, but crunchy and crispy, which is hard to find. We had a ribeye steak, half rack of ribs with the Fixins. The ribs were decent could’ve used more sauce. The steak was cooked to perfection. Nice intended, easy to cut through and not too chewy. I believe our server’s name was Robyn. She just seemed like she was totally over tourist, but definitely provided a decent service making sure that our drinks were filled in our food was correct. This is a casual restaurant and a super busy area so it could be busy depending on the date and time

Overall, appetizer was great. We got the potato skins. However, we got the Ruben and Fajitas, both of which could use some flavor pallet improvements. The fajitas would’ve been better with more pico and a little more crispy. The Ruben needed Swiss cheese. Beer was phenomenally cold.

One of best steak houses around town. The staff and our server Alex were super friendly and made sure we were taking care of all night. The food was amazing be sure to try thr sampler platter. We will definitely be back.

Service was great, the food was fantastic. On the recommendation of our waitress, I got a modified cheesesteak that made it similar to the French dip. It was the cheesesteak with added jalapenos and au jus. It was a great recommendation. My wife got the chicken tenders substituted in for wings with the sweet chili sauce, and they were very good. The chicken tenders were moist and tender. My mother's ribs were very good, as was the shrimp Alfredo. I would definitely recommend stopping in. Note: they serve Coke products

It’s always hard to do a review. So, as a foodie [taste, uniqueness, freshness] I review on that scale along with price. The ribs are smoked with a nice flavor, but dry. Because no sauce are on them, nor none provided, dry. They could easily remedy that. The baked beans and coleslaw. Baked beans were excellent with lots of bacon, the coleslaw “meh” at best. No celery seed i could taste or see… much like the overall flavor. oooof. For the price, both sides are very, very, small. My roommate had the chicken fried steak, classic dish, and i tasted it. Unremarkable but comforting since childhood. The couple next to us ordered the 1 lb “Killin Me” burger and literally said “looks awesome but it too tall to bite into”. Ya, he used a knife and fork to put it in pieces. Great atmosphere and we had a great time and service was attentive and solid even though the place was packed on a Friday night. We had a good experience with the vibe of the place, and the bar, but the food is not what i would go back for. Val

Came in last night for dinner around 830pm, hostess didn't greet us just stared when we walked up. No smile, no hello, she just said high top ok? I said, no a table please. She said so a high top ok? So I said no, I can't with my back. Anyways our server was nice and helpful. Country fried steak was SO salty, it made you pucker. We were hungry so are it, and when we were leaving the hostess said nothing, instead she was on the phone with ear buds and couldn't be bothered, just an FYI for management.

Went and had dinner here on 08/07/25 with my fiance. We waited around 15 min for a booth. Once sat we were greeted by our waiter “Chloe”. We ordered the spinach dip as our appetizer. The appetizer came out in a timely manner and tasted amazing we loved every bit of it. Then we ordered the fajitas and chicken and gravy. The food was braught out also in a timely manner. We digged in and unfortunately for me the steak on the fajitas were very salty the seasoning they use was very pungent. Everything else was good though; my fiances food was good and the sides were also good. Our waiter “Chloe” took excellent care of us and made sure everything was to our liking. The check came out and for the two of us the food was decently priced. Overall I would say it was a good experience and we’re willing to come back and try something new.

The 4 of us came in on a weekday for dinner. The place wasn’t busy at all, plenty of parking available out front. They give a complimentary basket of bread to start- containing biscuits, cornbread, garlic seasoned rolls. Our waiter was so nice and gave recommendations as we ordered. He was very attentive. Our food came out quickly and it was delicious- pictures included! The only slight complaint was that the one plate of brisket was on the dry side. Side note; I got sweet potato fries that come with a cinnamon glaze that is absolutely fantastic! Definitely recommend this place!! They also sell boxes of their biscuit mix and seasoning.

Fantastic Food! We got the pulled pork plate and the salmon. Both were perfectly done! The mac and cheese was the best I've ever had. The bread basket appetizer was delicious too. Prices were reasonable. It was a great experience and we'll be back!

Great place to eat! The atmosphere had a great vibe. Was a little nicer than we anticipated. 😀 Wait staff was extremely helpful and was continuously coming by the table to see if we needed anything. The food was delicious! They start you out with a basket of various bread choices like corn muffins, biscuits, and different rolls. Very fresh. I had the Oriental Salad and boy was it a lot of food. It had lettuce, tomatoes, scallions, grilled teriyaki chicken with pineapple rings, and rice! Comes with honey mustard dressing. The flavors blended into a very yummy dish. My husband got the pork chops, my daughter got the chicken tenders, and my son got the brisket plate. Everyone was pleased and satisfied with their meals. Both kids got the Mac ‘n cheese as a side and loved it. Definitely will be back in the near future.

We had been at Dollywood and decided to get a later dinner at Calhoun's! We made reservations through the Google maps app, and were immediately seated when we arrived! We got the potato skins for an appetizer! And the double wings with their house sweet and spicy toss and a half rack of ribs! Both were delicious! Especially the wings and ribs! Those were probably some of the best wings l'd ever had! And the ribs were amazing too! We were so full from dinner that we didn't get dessert but it looked like they had a lot of good options too! I would definitely go back! One of the other people in our party got the lemon pepper chicken and sweet and spicy traditional wings! They said they were delicious also!

Meat should not be abused this way! Ribs were extremely dry and the pork had no flavor and seemed they had been setting in a very humid atmosphere since the day before. Manager stated this is the way they prepare them. What a crime! Also the slaw was good but I only had three forks worth in the small container. Manager said this is all they give you, just a taste. WHAT! I've always received a good portion of slaw with ribs and pork. This has always been a staple in southern barbeque. This place is just pitiful, just pitiful and to beat it all he brought us a fresh order of ribs and pork on a platter (it was all the same) did I say pitiful! Good luck if you go there!

I got pretzels that I took one bite of and didn't like. I asked the waitress to take it off she was argumentative about it. It's not like I was trying to scam anything. The pretzels are frozen inside. Obviously microwaved. I had to ask for the manager and and it made me feel like I was begging. For that I won't come back ever again. I don't want nothing for free. But I don't want to be scammed either. The main entree was fine. However I didn't have any water to rinse it down with... Normally I tip 20% even when things aren't great but the fact that I was put down I only left $2. I really didn't want to leave anything.

My family and I went to this location on October 19, 2025. Mid-afternoon. We were immediately sat at a table. The waitress was fantastic. Prompt and attentive. She brought our appetizer out rather quickly and kept our drinks full exceptionally well. The food was pretty good, and it was made to order. And the portion sizes were either spot on, or a little too much (definitely better than too little). The place was semi-busy but noise was a bare minimum. The bill for a family of four(4) was about $110 including the appetizer (waitress was tipped separately). Overall, it was a great choice for the quality of food, the great service, and the atmosphere. I'm sure we will visit this establishment again.

Good experience at The Chop House! We visited The Chop House to celebrate my son’s birthday, and everything was good from start to finish. The food was delicious—perfectly cooked steaks, flavorful sides, and generous portions. The service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The manager even stopped by our table to check in and make sure we were happy with everything—which we absolutely were. That extra touch of hospitality really stood out. Definitely more casual atmosphere.

We had a great server. Could not say enough good things about her. This was a return visit. I was hear in 2018 and loved it. Liked it this time 😕 Filet mignon was delicious, ordered medium rare and it was a little to rare for us. The lobster tail is why we came back. It was incredible, the parmesan elevates it to another level. It tasted amazing this time but unfortunately it was not completely cooked but it was close enough so we ate it anyway. Burgundy mushrooms and creme brulee corn or both very good.

The food was fantastic! We dined here twice during our vacation and the quality was consistently excellent. Two people can easily share one meal. If I had to change anything, it would be choosing a different dessert because the cake with strawberries wasn't my favorite. However, everything else was amazing! Our favorite dishes were the chop steak, shrimp pasta, and crab cake. Please try the deviled eggs. Definitely recommend this place.

Spectacular!! Came out for mom’s bday and had a great time. Christine was our server I got name right. Food was very tasty. Service was top notch. Thank you for a wonderful time…

The food was delicious! I got the lunch steak special and my husband got the salmon. The steak had a delicious butter on top that was amazing. It was by far the best meal we had our whole trip.

Server did his job and we appreciated him. But the kitchen dropped the mark big time on the food and the manager only made "rounds" to speak with the "well dressed" and those who looked like big spenders which was extremely insulting and judgemental. $52 Delmonico easily had close to 4oz of waste and was over cooked and the soup arrived after main course and was nearly cold and inedible. We would have spoken with the manager about this but he was only interested in the customers who were dressed like big spenders. Honestly its not worth the money here. I lost over $52 on what what supposed to be their best steak and was their worst and judging customers based on whether or not they "look like money" is appalling and sick.

Anthony was an awesome waiter. Very tasty food. Food all came out hot. Anthony, check to see if the food came out all right and if we needed more drinks. Since our friend told Anthony it was my wife and my birthdays, he brought us a special treat with cards.

Such a cool place!! The wait wasnt long even though it was packed! We browsed the store while we waited. The food was amazing, especially the chocolate malt!! Our server was outstanding, he was new but clearly has good customer service skills. Our food was fast and we loved the menus! They look like old newspapers. Overall such a good experience even though we didnt get to sit in the cars that have booths built into them.

Such a cool atmosphere and great service! The owner was also there and he’s a blast. The food is fantastic — huge, huge portions so prepare for that! Our server was Spencer. He was so much fun and very informative. He was also very attentive and made sure we had a great time.

I can not say enough good things about this little diner! The Sunliner burger is the best burger I've had! The milkshakes are also really good and great if you want to feel like you're in a 1950s romance and share a milkshake with your love. My husband and I visited on our honeymoon and decided to go back 2 more times, once for brunch to try the breakfast and a third time to have the Sunliner burger again. Mia was our waitress tonight and she was beyond sweet and really funny! It was also great to see the staff enjoying the jukebox! My husband and I can't wait to come back sometime!

Super fun retro atmosphere, I love that the menus look like old newspapers. Mr. Sweet was our server and he's great. Food came out fast and delicious. My dad got the country fried chicken and said it tasted like a homemade meal.

I didn’t know what to expect, but noticed the high volume of reviews… and now I realize WHY! The whole atmosphere, vibe, music, customer service, and especially food was great! Desiree was friendly and helpful! We enjoyed the club sandwich, onion rings, fries, and kids loved their grilled cheese. Even though we were stuffed… we had to make room for their banana split, which was amazing! 🍨 Highly recommend!!!

I can’t fault anything here. The staff were very friendly and helpful. My only surprise was that the staff lift the plates from the table of those who are finished while others are still eating! Food was very tasty and not over priced. The ambiance and atmosphere were really great and the staff helped to make it. Would definitely recommend.

50's sock hop/drive in music. Foid was fabulous. Much more than we could eat. And iced coffee better than Starbucks. Wait staff dressed period appropriate and fabulously friendly. 100% recommend. Prices $$ for 2 adults.

This place is BUSY at lunch!! But, they move food fast for sure. My burger had a full pound of meat, and it was amazing!!! Crinkle cut fries were perfect as well. Didn't get to try any of the cookie dough this time, but I'll get it for sure next time.

If you are looking for fried food and a juicy burger, this is definitely the place! Excellent food all the way around. Out of some of the ice cream options and ice machine wasn’t working. Main downfall was that it was extremely hot inside. It was a packed house but seemed that no AC was working (employees never mentioned it). We will definitely be back the next time we are in town. Thank you for the great burger and sandwiches!

I have wanted to try this place for a few years when in town on vacation, but had so many other staples that it was hard to make time to go. This year we finally went and were so surprised! It’s a quick service style restaurant where you order at the register and wait for your number to be called. It’s very casual, not the largest dining area but was suitable for a group of 8 with kids. The food came out fairly quickly, and was high quality. Pricing was very good, especially compared to some other popular spots around The Island area. I left the restaurant feeling full and disappointed….disappointed that it took us so long to try this place. This will be a new staple for us.

We was looking for a good burger place that we haven't tried yet, and they did not disappoint!! We was greeted by multiple employees when we entered, while they were getting a rush of customers. They answered questions we had about products, were professional, and had our order to us in maybe ten minutes. Enjoyed the music playing. Wasn't too loud or classless. Definitely pleased with our visit. Coming back later for dessert.

WOW !!!! What a great place to eat!!! My burger and my wifes grilled cheese were to die for. Loaded with flavor and juicy as all get out.You have to go here atleast once while you're here. You will not leave hungry..i promise you. Our last meal tomorrow before we he home to Indiana is gonna be here. Quality ingredients and great cooks made this sooooo flavorful!!!! Thanks to your great staff

This place is a hidden gem. We went twice because the food and milkshakes were so good! The only thing I would say is they could use a busser (or maybe just another employee on staff to do that and other stuff) because there were a lot of dirty tables (we sat at a dirty table), but they were super busy!! My husband got The Barbie and I got the Nashville Hottie and both were amazing, and their sweet potato fries are off the charts. If your not sure about the chipotle dusting with the Carmel sauce...just try it is all I can say (come from a picky person). Also family we were with got other sandwiches and an A1 burger/different milkshakes (strawberry shortcake, banana pudding, dirty brownie, and animal crackers) and they were all DELICIOUS!! Not to mention the cookie dough bites were amazing (their is a coupon for 4 with purchase of two entrees in the bear book in one of the stands outside the place)

Thank you Tik Tok - so glad to have tried this place! Food was amazing - but the burgers were made fresh - the flavor of the food was an explosion in your mouth! Desserts were decadent ~ I will be referring all my friends!

The food was delicious but took time to get out from the kitchen. I felt bad for the staff as there was only two waiters on our side of the room and they were swamped. The lady cleaning up dishes from tables was super busy as well. It took forever to get a drink from the bar and was only able to have one. Since the waiters were short handed I was unable to get my drink refilled until my food was almost gone. The management needs to do a better job staffing to help them out because all the employees did was apologize.

The wait staff was friendly and friendly once they finally came to take our order. 1st ultimate LIT was very weak and was basically water, with a little bit of soda water added. The second ultimate LIT Was much better after we said we didn't want a second, we were reassured it would be made better. The chips and salsa were good once we finally got them. My meal( The Nashville hot boneless wings) were basically a Cayenne pepper/ chili powder dry rub. The broccoli tasted old and withered. The atmosphere was terrible, we sat out on the patio no outdoor music, none of the sports TVs were on.

The service was ok. Our appetizers took almost 20 minutes to come out and it was cold. We opted to not order dinner. The bathroom was small bit clean. The pricing was ok. They have some front parking and a back parking lot. I do not recommend this location.

We visited on a Saturday night and it was crowded, this probably had something to do with our sub par experience. We were seated without much wait, and the waitress was friendly. The dining area seems dated, dimly lit, and a little dirty. Some of our food was served cold and undercooked. Overall I felt it was a little expensive for what was offered. Plan on spending $40-$45 for 2 people. We were able to find a $5 off coupon in the Smoky Mountain Coupon Book. Once again...I really like TGI Fridays and hope this experience is related to a busy Saturday night.

Wait for table was fine. Waiter messed up the kids order, their was good once they got it. My wife's salad was good except for the fact she had to take the tomatoes off that she asked to have left off. And the kitchen manager should be ashamed for the wings I had brought to me. Not going back.

We were invited to meet some friends at TGI Fridays Pigeon Forge for dinner. I did my usual check of Google reviews and was surprised at the amount of negative comments. We reluctantly decided to go ahead since it was our friends request and wanted to honor that since we had already told them that we would. All four of us ordered something different and all of us were happy with our choices. Everything was fresh and hot and tasted great. The only thing that was missing was the service wasn’t great. They apparently were under staffed as our server Angela had a few tables and the bar to cover. We never saw any managers which I found unusual given how much value they hold in repeat customers just stopping by the tables and greeting the guests. This is the only reason I gave them a 4-star rating and not 5. A lot of good restaurants in Pigeon Forge to choose from, management should take advantage of every opportunity available for every customer.

We went to celebrate a birthday. The food came out quickly. Definitely recommend the Jack Daniel sauce.

Overall a good experience for late night food option. (Denny’s down the road is a nightmare with one waitress and one cook and the wait time from the time you order will be anywhere from 1 to 2 hours. So please save yourself the trouble and go here!) IHOP isn’t 24hrs but if it was they would defiantly get alot more business because cookout, Waffle House and Dennys are the only options and all of them stay slammed late at night.

The food definitely looks better in the menu than it does upon receiving the food. Really need some taste to it as it is so bland and the prices of the items is really over rated.

We had a great meal here! The food was fresh, the service was friendly, and it was surprisingly calm compared to the rest of the busy Pigeon Forge area. We were seated quickly and enjoyed a relaxing breakfast without the long waits you’ll find elsewhere nearby. Definitely a solid stop if you’re looking for a dependable meal in a less hectic atmosphere.

Was seated quickly The restaurant was not busy but somehow they forgot about us. We waited at least 20 minutes before anyone came to the table to ask us what we wanted to drink by then. We knew what we wanted to eat but he wasn't prepared to take that order and gave us an excuse that he was sorry it wasn't his fault. The hostess didn't tell him he had another table. At the end The waiter had the check so messed up And went back three times trying to correct it. Eventually we just paid it. I had an appointment at 11:00 and we had to get out of there. This was the absolute worst service ever and no one said. I'm sorry. No one cared as far as food. It was perfect but the service was the worst

As always and everywhere you go eat, Pricey food, however, this IHOP Breakfast was hot, fresh, and tasty..... and quick service with a smile.

We ordered online. Waited our 15 minutes and went inside to get it. The food was sitting by the register and not an employee anywhere to be found. We got no notification that it was even ready. The omelet was a good size but The peppers and onions were undercooked. Bacon was hard. The hash browns were very dry and overcooked. Not worth almost $30 for 2 meals.

The food was absolutely amazing, service and staff are one of the best I have ever encountered. Fast service, great food, amazing staff, I will be back!

It was a slow Sunday night but still…. Our server was also the bartender and covering all the seats at the bar as well as a half dozen tables. Way too much for one person. Couldn’t get her attention for drink refills or anything else for that matter. Although she was very cheerful when we did get to talk to her. Ordered the new smoked old fashioned. $16 for a glass that was basically nothing but the large ice cube. Maybe a 1/2 ounce pour. The whole drink was gone in four sips. Not swallows but sips. Ordered the bacon wrapped scallops which were so overdone they were like chewing a rubber ball. Only ate half of a single scallop. Waitress saw this and didn’t even ask if there was a problem. Husband had the ultimate feast which was fine but not $44 fine. Joe’s Crab Shack is right across the street and effective immediately we are loyal to them and them alone here. Do better Red Lobster. Not all of us are tourists who only visit once every couple of years and chalk the service and value up to a one off. We all deserve better

The bartender was great! Excellent bloody Mary! Excellent margaritas. My partner got one of the seafood boils and it was amazing! Great new menu item! The fried seafood was average. The men's room needed some attention - soap dispenser refilled, urinal did not seem to be working.

Decided to stop in for dinner and try out their new menu. I got the shrimp seafood boil and crab loaded baked potato. The seafood boil was sooooo good! Came with 2 dozen shrimp, potatoes, corn and sausage. I chose the garlic parm sauce. So so good! My husband got the admirals feast. It’s always his go to. As usual he loved it. I didn’t care for the loaded crab baked potato. But that is just me. I kinda ify about crab sometimes. But if you love crab you will definitely enjoy it. Micah our serves was great. Was on top of your drinks and was very friendly. He provided great service. We will visit this location again when we visit Sevierville. Thanks again!

I am happy to do another 5 star review. We ate at Red Lobster because I was craving crab legs. I had the Mariners Boil, which had lobster, shrimp, a king crab cluster, red potatoes, and corn on the cob. I ordered it drenched in Creole butter. It was cooked properly and delicious. They provide you with a bib, gloves, cracker, crab pick, and a towelet. Since good crab boils are messy, this was perfect. My wife had a grilled chicken Caesar salad. The ingredients were all fresh and crisp. Our server was Chloe. She was great. We will definitely eat here again. The price was relative to quality.

Micah made the visit with our family extra special!! Food was great, his professional friendly demeanor made us feel welcome!! We will be back!

We ate here in n August 9, 2025. Sergio, our waiter, was fabulous. Upon arrival, we were made to feel at home and really enjoyed our meal.

My husband and I came for our 22nd Anniversary..our Server was Wyatt ..he was so helpful and met our every need ..we ended up getting the Mariners Boil Garlic Butter Flavor !! This was by far the best meal we have ever had ..we have been coming for many years ..thank you Wyatt for making our experience a great one !! 🙌

Best meal Iv had in a very long time! From Lou Ky and never had outback this good at home. It was our server Ryan’s first night working and he’s great and personable. We will definitely come again!

Seated quickly as it wasn't busy on a early Wednesday night. Server Addy was friendly and helped explain some of the dishes. Had the shrimp and scallops on Alfredo type noodles. Very tasty. Also had the burgers which was also good. Dessert was brownie with ice cream and hot fudge sauce. Good food and good service. Only negative was food was a bit slow coming out. Certainly would return.

Loved the service we received here, we just got back from Dollywood and we're famished. They did a fantastic job making us feel welcomed, we had a party of 6. The food came out looking like the pictures, the servers gave us fantastic recommendations and they did not disappoint. The food matched the service. Thank you very much!!!

3 of us went for lunch. Greg was our server. He is very nice and welcoming and attractive to our needs. Good French onion soup. My friend liked her chicken tenders, my husband had some kind of big salad. He said it was very good. I really liked my mashed potatoes. My chicken wings not so much. I just can't seem to get wings like I want them anywhere. More crunchy skin. All in all we were all full when we left

Always good food and service at the Outback! As large and open as it is, it is always cozy and not loud. The chili was about the best we ever had. Steak was cooked perfectly as ordered. Asparagus was disappointing as it looked nothing like on the menu 😬 Final note: Since they do not give locals a discount we won't go as often as we would. Dealing with that traffic is no bueno.

This is like no other Outback we’ve been in. Loved the layout and decor of this restaurant. We arrived to be greeted with a smile and friendliness. Then we were sat in Heather H’s section. She is a jewel, best server out of any we’ve had anywhere. Food was perfect. We took part in the 3 course meals. Food arrived perfectly spaced between salads, appetizer, and entrees. Never felt rushed or needed for anything. We opted to take our desserts with us and Heather packed them up along with left overs in a bag to go.

Greg is an amazing server. He was checking on us often while working 5 other tables. Very respectful and polite. Highly recommended server. Food was fantastic. I had the grilled chicken and steak with asparagus.

Great place to visit and to eat! First, my friend and I enjoyed the tasting experience with Connie conducting the process because she was extremely knowledgeable, fun, full of information and ideas for drinks using their products, so she made the entire experience fabulous!! Then, we choose to stay for lunch and had an amazing sandwich (big country reuben) with some of the best pastrami we’d both ever had, which is saying something since my friend is a native New Yorker. Finally, if you’re in the area (and especially if you’re at the outlet stores shopping), stop in and if Connie is working, you won’t be disappointed. Enjoy!

Really nice establishment clean welcoming lots of product for sale. We did the samples and even purchased some to take home, the problem i had was the young lady being the bar spoke so low we couldn't hear what she was saying about the drinks. We did attempt to eat here but wasn't going to wait that long for a take for 5. Staff was definitely friendly though and seemed genuinely eager to help. If artificial flavor moonshine is your thing give them a try.

We stumbled upon this place as we shopping at the start of our Spring Break. We are so glad we did. My husband and I love a smash burger and fries. We shared the the Mac Daddy. We both agreed it was probably one of the best burgers we've ever had. The Mac and cheese was good and the bacon jam was delicious. The whole thing was great. The fries were amazing too; seasoned so well. We did a flight of moonshine what we enjoyed also: bomb pop, blackberry, peach, and sour gummy worm. Billy Joe was a server and did a nice job. We went back to the outlets on our last day of vacation. We spent a good 30 minutes looking for someplace to eat then decided to head back to Junction 35. We ordered the same burger to share and it was the same great quality. We ordered another flight of moonshine/whiskey/ vodka: black cherry and raspberry whiskey, orange creamsicle moonshine, and Bam Bam vodka. All good, but The Bam Bam was AWESOME; tasted just like fruity pebbles. Rayon was our server, he was nice and did well although stretched too thin being bartender, answering phones, and waiting tables. When we went to pay the bill I noticed that it said free tastings. We questioned this and were told if you order food. you get a free tasting. So, we headed to the other side. We had Cheryl for our intoxacologist. She did a great job! We were able to taste many flavors. Just wish we knew about the deal on our first visit. We will definitely we back, if we're through the area again!!

The Reuben sandwich was simply amazing! My wife has the Bacon Jam Burger and gave her seal of approval! But the brussel sprouts stole the show! They alone are enough to stop by and eat!

Jacob was our waiter and he was amazing!!! Very informative, never ran out of anything to drink kept our glasses filled at all times!!! He’s one of the best waiters we have had in a while!!!

Inside the tangerine mall but don't let that stoo you from giving them a chance. The peach moonshine cocktail is a wonderful refreshing drink. Had the bacon jam burger perfect.

The Tennessee poutine was great. Smaller than expected for an appetizer though. The Pastrami Burger was really delicious as well. Will most definitely come back to try more on the menu.

We visited King’s Family Distillery and were well pleased with our tasting experience from start to finish. When they offered us a rye sample, I confidently said “no, thanks.” Well… fast-forward to the end and you’ll see Ryeconic made its way home with us — that’s how good it was. Gina was our host and absolutely crushed it. Her product knowledge was sharp, thoughtful, and way beyond what you’d expect for her age — she gave us all the details we didn’t even know to ask. From high proof bottles to unique finishes like port wine and BBQ collaborations, their lineup is seriously strong. Give them a try and remember — buying local goes a long way. We’ll be back for another round.

JJ was so helpful letting us taste anything we wanted. We were so impressed with how tasty and smooth their whiskey and moonshine were! Absolutely no burn. Ended up buying both the Cinnamon Whiskey and the Apple Pie Moonshine. We really loved the experience and encourage anyone in the area to try them. A perfect choice if you are waiting for a pizza at Papa Leone’s next door too!

We had an awesome experience at Kings distillery this afternoon. Jessie was a very knowledgeable hostess and the spirits we tasted were delicious! I’m certain we will enjoy what we purchased and will definitely be back♥️

Jessie was awesome! I showed up right when she was closing and instead of her turning me away she welcomed me in with a smile. The room is filled with so many options, they have whatever you are looking for. They also offer free tastings so you get to try it before you buy it! I tried several bourbons but ultimately went with the Kings family vanilla cask finished bourbon, it was super smooth and rich, just enough warmth and heat, absolutely perfect! I also found a lemon vodka that they make that was so good I bought 2 bottles! Thanks again Jessie!

We stopped in here on a whim, in search of maybe a bottle of wine but ended up with so much more. J.J. Helped my husband and I narrow down the bottle for us with a very helpful tasting. She was knowledgeable and genuinely seemed to love the products here. We opted for the Lemon vodka. It was a tough choice. As the cinnamon or the apple would’ve made an excellent addition to a hot toddy or a cozy chai. We are enjoying our vacation here and all of the local goodies we’ve been coming across. We may even be back to this establishment by the end of the week to take some home! Thanks J. j.

Easily the best distillery in the Pigeon Forge area, and I always make it a priority to stop in when in town. Had the pleasure of chatting up bourbon with Cara while sampling different products. Highly recommended stopping by my favorite distillery and supporting the local "agriculture". 7/7/2025

Loved our visit to King’s Family Distillery. Jessie was the best host! Very knowledgeable on all the options and handled the large crowd like a pro. A very good time considering we’re just visiting the area and happened to stop when we drove by after a hike.

Stopped in on our getaway weekend to Piegon Forge. Bartender and cook was phenomenal! Hard to find a good bartender to make an old fashioned the right way! We were impressed with everything we tried. But the atmosphere and conversation was the most fun.

Bartender on duty was very knowledgeable on what was on tap and gave me plenty of opportunities to sample beers until I found one I liked. Our server for breakfast Michelle was great, super friendly and made us feel very welcome. She made sure we had everything we needed.

Didn't eat. Just had a casual pint. Bartender was super knowledgeable of ALL of the different beers they offered. Amazing selections! Great service. We'll be back. Atmosphere was super cool. Just an incredible list of beers from all over. Very cool place.

Surprising Jim for being a restaurant and bar connected to a hotel. The variety of options they have on tap are amazing. I went with the pineapple cider by recommendation and it was definitely worth it. Also enjoyed a late lunch. Service was excellent and food came out very quickly. Will definitely come here again before we leave.

Went to Casual Pint while here on vacation. Beer was incredible and Justin was a great bartender. Will definitely come back if we ever get back to Pigeon Forge!

Stopped in today while in PF and the bartender was so friendly and suggested some great local ciders. They were extra accommodating to our dog as well. We’ll definitely be back the next time we are in the area.

Best hotel bar I think I’ve visited. Great craft beer selection. Lots of beers that are hard to find in indiana were on draft here. Also, you could buy rare beers to take home if you don’t want to have a drink at the bar. They had a decent soft pretzel. Their fries weren’t good, but they had a nice Buffalo chicken wrap. The staff were super friendly.

The owner was very kind when we walked in. we were on a bachelorette party trip. They offered us a table for free since the club was basically empty. The vibes were super uncomfortable, but we decided to order a round of shots and dance to our requested song as a thank you for the table before we left. When we went out onto the dance floor, a group of guys that were socializing with the bartender and owner moved their chairs to the edge of the dance floor and started watching us and hollering at us. We immediately grabbed our stuff and headed out the front door. These group of men walked out to the patio on the side of the building because they knew we would have to walk past this area. They were telling us to stay and saying vulgar things to us as we walked past. We started picking up the pace and they hopped over the gate. They began picking up their pace. We ended up having to run for our life to our car in the back parking lot. If you are a group of women, do not come here. It is not safe

As a tourist from Florida who's traveled a bit and seen my share of nightlife, I can assure you this is no place to write home about. However, considering the location, population, and circumstances, it's a nice-enough lounge to spend an hour or two with some friends to hear some urban music, get some drinks, and buy a hookah if you're into that. They close at 1 am. My group got there sometime after 11 on Friday night and it got pretty lively a little after midnight. They have a cocktail menu and a full bar. I got 2 jello shots for $6. There's a huge dance floor in the back, so if the spirit moves you to break it down, you can certainly do that. The DJ played some good songs, but his transitions left something to be desired. We did some line dances and some booty shaking and all. If you're a fun person, you'll have fun. If you're not into hole-in-the-wall vibes (even though this is many steps up from a hole in the wall), you won't enjoy yourself.

Amazing addition to Pigeon Forge TN. Late night menu, 90’s hip hop music, and along with a feel good dj. Bartenders were strictly 🔥. Security was on point. Bathroom was clean. Made my soul grove from the top to the bottom! Beautiful people and a nice place to be.

We had a great time tearing up the dance floor! The drink selection was amazing and everything I had was great! Natalie (or Maddie? ...it was hard to hear) but she was phenomenal at making a good beverage.

Pull up to pigeon forge and really was looking for talent but I didn't find it. Dj was great bartenders were awesome some just really overwhelm from the crowdedness on Saturday trying to serve everyone. But the club definitely popping. The vibe was great and the ladies were freaky in a good way. Twerkin was all too real. Had a great time.

Okish... Music was good but drinks were fully diluted. I ordered two drinks and both of them were just water and nothing else. Ordered food and it was ok. We were hungry and wanted to have some food and have a drink or two but it wasn't great. Wouldn't recommend it second time. Plus they have cover charges too.

Great hookahs, huge drink selection, full menu with modest prices. Good vibe overall. More of a "club" than a sports bar. Laid back but with a busy and energetic vibe after dark.

One of our favorite restaurants in Pigeon Forge that was filled with surprises. Started with a gazpacho amuse from the chef and ended with green apple cotton candy surprise for the whole table. My kids loved it! Drinks were delicious, we particularly loved the trio of salsa and guacamole, yuca fries. Queso, birria and seafood tostado. My son loved his chicken taco with everything on the side. The restaurant is quiet (I don’t think most people have discovered it yet) but don’t let that stop you from making a reservation because the food and service really delivered

Had breakfast here. Very friendly staff / service. Limited menu especially if you don't eat eggs (I don't). Good coffee (huge plus!) Very cute atmosphere. Nice presentation of the dishes. My french toast was loaded with syrup. Fresh fast, hot dishes. Very friendly service. Did I mention the friendly service? Luis for the win! Did not have to request water - it was already on the table.

We went the other night and had a really nice time. Our server was so sweet and helpful. We had the pork belly for an appetizer and it was delicious. So was the almond cake dessert which was reminiscent of tiramisu, yum. Blackberry mojito was also on point.

Checked into the hotel around dinner time and knew the surrounding restaurants would be packed. We decided to give this eatery a shot and were very pleased with the decision. Our drinks and food were wonderful. We would certainly consider eating here again.

I have been in the area for a few days now, and this was BY FAR the best meal I’ve eaten. If you are looking for something other than fried food and burgers, something healthier, THIS is where you should go. And they have a lot of GF, vegetarian, vegan options! The vibes/atmosphere, interior design of place is super cute and the staff is extremely friendly. Highly recommend!

We stayed at the Wayback and enjoyed dinner at Paloma on our last night - we wish we would have eaten there sooner to realize how good it was and would have opted to eat in another night as well. The cocktails and mocktails are delicious. We had the elotes, shrimp nachos, and shrimp tacos all of which were phenomenal.

QUEER FRIENDLY!!! (Hard to find in the area … it’s been a source of stress. The first venue where we truly felt safe and welcomed). One of the more delightful vacation meals we’ve had. Innovative, creative and fresh. Stars of the show were the sangria Blanca, steak with mofongo and jus, and clementine shave ice. I wouldn’t have changed a thing about this meal. The chef came out to personally explain the specials, and there was a sweet little amuse bouche watermelon/cucumber gazpacho. The service was well paced and courteous, the environment was charming … this is an elevated gem in PF. It was quiet on a Saturday night, which is appalling, because this place would be PACKED in any major city. We legit booked a night at this hotel because dinner was so delicious.

I visited on a Thursday evening with a party of 15. We were seated immediately. Our server was awesome! She was patient, had a welcoming attitude, and was very helpful with suggestions. The food we ordered ranged from smash burgers to BBQ to shrimp and chicken. Everything was good. The ribs were very seasoned and tender. The pulled pork nachos were piled high with meat too. And don't skip the cocktails! They have a distillery connected to the restaurant and you get a ticket for a free tasting once you pay your bill! Good vibe with a friendly atmosphere.

Junction 35 Spirits & Kitchen delivered one of my standout dining experiences in the Smokies, a rare combo of craft distillery and full service kitchen where the food is every bit as dialed in as the drinks. The burgers are truly a star here, juicy, perfectly seasoned, stacked high with fresh toppings, and bursting with flavor in every bite. Pair that with their fried pickles, which are golden, crispy, and addictive enough to be a meal on their own, and you have comfort food at its finest. Plates across the menu arrive well seasoned and thoughtfully portioned, from those crave worthy staples to other Southern favorites like shrimp and grits or smoked wings that hit that perfect crunch, all backed by a bar program built on their own house made spirits including bourbon, rye, whiskey, moonshine, vodka, gin, tequila, and rum shaken into creative cocktails that actually taste of the base, not just the mixers. The location seals it, set at the Mountain Mile on Teaster Lane, you are steps from shops, attractions, and other eateries to wander before or after your meal, which turns a dinner plan into a whole outing. For my followers, this is an easy MUST try, flavorful, well executed plates, balanced portions, and a destination setting that makes just dinner feel like an experience. P.S. their queso and their fries are absolutely amazing, comfort food done exactly right.

Julio was our server, and he was so awesome. He has the greatest attitude. We will be back. He made our first time incredible. The food was so good. I had the bacon jam burger. Best Burger EVER. The wings were fantastic and crispy.

Loved our dinner at Junction 35. The atmosphere, food, and service were all fantastic! Three of us had the Smokehouse Mac and all loved it. One had the Tennessee Brisket Dip and also thought it was amazing. I had the Grilled Shrimp Skewers which were delicious. Sweet tea was good southern sweet tea too. They also have a great little outdoor area here with games set up. We didn’t have any alcohol this trip, but they have a large selection - you’re sure to find something you like.

My husband and I came for lunch and had a great time! We had the wings, smash burger and the poutine fries. We had a couple of the seasonal drinks - the Smoky Mountain Campfire was phenomenal! All was delicious! But, I have to say what made our experience was our server, Brandii! She was wonderful and could not have been any more pleasant!

In town for the 5th time (annual dance competition), and we noticed a new spot had popped up—Junction 35—so we figured we’d give it a try since we’ve pretty much exhausted most other restaurants over the years. It’s located in a family-friendly, trendy area with fun extras like a sky coaster, cornhole, giant Connect Four, a park set, and more—great vibe for kids and adults alike. We went on a Friday around 6 p.m., and I was fully expecting a 1-hour wait. To our surprise, it was only 20 minutes—score! Inside, it has a cool warehouse-style look with a massive bar anchoring the space. The menu had a solid variety for all tastes. Our group ordered the Junction Smash Burger, Bacon Jam Smash Burger, the salmon entrée, and the strawberry salad. While no one was completely blown away by their meal, we all agreed everything was good—and we’d order the same things again. That’s usually a solid sign of quality. The burgers had great flavor and came on a soft, fresh bun. The fries were a bit of a letdown—likely just sitting out a little too long. I’d give Junction 35 a 3-star rating. Not the best bar food you’ll ever have, but definitely worth a visit. We’d come back without hesitation. If you’re in town for a few days, I’d say add it to your itinerary. I’m confident it won’t disappoint.

Went on short notice with a party of 10 and were able to be accommodated on the spot. Service was wonderful, especially given our party size. Food was quick to come out and every party member really enjoyed their meals! Pictured is the loaded Mac n cheese

Fun place to visit and have drinks and people watch. A bit understaffed, but staff amazing, kind, and efficient. Pizza was good, not enough sauce for my taste, but delicious anyway. Visited on the first Tuesday of Spring with winds, sun, and 74° weather which provided an "ambiance of being on a boardwalk at the beach in the mountains. Active atmosphere with lots going on.

Overall we enjoyed our time at Dude’s Daiquiris. It’s a lively location with a fair amount of outdoor seating. It gets a little cramped at the counter, but that’s to be expected. We had great service and a couple of ice cold beers and enjoyed the weather. Will visit again when on the Island.

We stopped here for a couple drinks and sat outside on the patio to people watch. Price of the first drink was pretty steep because you get a reusable plastic cup. Refills are half price. The bartender told us the cups could also be used at the Gatlinburg location, however we tried and were told no. Gatlinburg location says they have been telling Pigeon Forge location to stop telling people that for months, so apparently it has been a problem.

When you call yourself Dude's Daiquiris, it screams of a wall of frozen daiquiri machines. So when you arrive and see only 4 frozen daiquiri machines and only 2 working, 3 if you count the coke concoction, one can be severely disappointed.

Got a smug look when asking if they have any non-alcoholic slushes. (Coke slush is the only one). Biggest reason for this review is not offering the option of tap to pay. It’s 2025, everywhere else takes tap. Usually don’t have card or cash on me, luckily did this time.

Amber was amazing! This will be a place that we visit every trip! We was there for a few hours on 9-21 from 6 to close. Amber was friendly to everyone even the rude ones!

This started out wonderful...... But somewhere along a shift change..... The little girl cleaning the tables kept trying to steal my back pack. After telling her twice that we were stepping out to smoke.... She kept trying. There were plenty of empty tables so we weren't occupying during any rush. I think she was literally trying to steal our stuff.... Wallet, keys, phones and whatever else we had on there. She managed to abscond with it and took it next door to the mellow mushroom. I was told by another patron, they finally got it. I immediately walked into the kitchen and luckily got it back before it could be pillaged. I have heard of tourists getting taken advantage of in this way but this is the first time it happened to us. Shameful.
