The 23 best spots for chicken wings in Pigeon Forge

Location was clean and attractive with a good atmosphere. Our server Kara G was amazing! So friendly, helpful and very attentive. She took excellent care of our party of 8. We had potato skins, the Hawaiian luau burger and the chicken Ceasar wrap. All of the food ordered was hot and delicious and prepared as requested. I highly recommend eating here and don't forget the peanut butter pie!!!

It was a fairly busy place, but it only took a few minutes to get seated. It’s more of a sports bar atmosphere with TVs everywhere, so it would be a great place to watch a game. I ordered the dozen wings with two flavors I chose, honey barbecue, and the orange glazed. They were mixed with half mini drumsticks and half wings. The flavor was average, but still good. My wife ordered The Brotherly Love sandwich and she said it was delicious. The Sweet Potato Fries and the Blue’s Tater Chips were pretty good too. We’ll probably come back again but the next time I’m gonna try one of the burgers.

Very nice sports bar! My family & I were seated right away considering they were busy! They have a variety of food & drinks. Something for everyone. They even have kids meals. Clean restaurant. Courteous staff. Our server was Crystal with the bright pink hair! She was great! I especially loved that she was patient with us while we looked over the menu (family of 4). She checked on us often, refilled our drinks & was overall very pleasant. We would recommend!

Good for a quick bite, food was hot, waiter was attentive and friendly. We were able to get in and get out relatively quickly. Only wait was finding a clean booth. The first 2 they took us to were covered in crumbs in the booths, the 3rd was still dirty but best of the 3 options so we dealt with it.

Great experience! Our server, Matt, was very friendly and even put our local football game on the TV at our table (Notre Dame🍀) The burger was cooked perfectly and we all enjoyed our meals. Quick service, highly recommend!

We eat here all the time and we're never disappointed. Best wings and burgers in the state! Everything else is very good too! Service is always top notch. Our server tonight was Austen B, be sure to ask for him! Austen made sure we had everything we needed and was very friendly A+ Between the outstanding service and excellent food, why would you go anywhere else. We highly, highly recommend Blue Moose!

We got seated quickly, and were greeted by friendly staff. We got our drinks and food ordered quickly. The Cajun fries were absolutely phenomenal. I got the Mac n Cheese burger…it was AMAZING! I would recommend this place to anyone. It is a bit more expensive.

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.

Big time BBQ guy here! Fried deviled eggs appetizer was amazing. We both ordered the Sampler that had 5 meats (brisket, pulled pork, jalapeño smoked sausage, chicken quarter, and ribs). This came with a biscuit and 2 sides; I ordered mac n cheese for both sides. Biscuits were FANTASTIC. She got collard greens and loved them! Mac n cheese was average to above average. Now for the less than fantastic. While the taste of the meats were good, seasoned well and smoky, they were dry. Ribs were dry, smoked sausage was cold, dry and tough, brisket was tender but dry, chicken was tasty but again, dry. Last but not least, pulled pork is usually the most forgiving meat in terms of drying out, but the portions we received were not ideal in terms of moistness. We went around 4:00-4:30 and I’m fairly confident that we were served meat from yesterday that wasn’t sold yesterday by the time they closed. Assuming these were yesterday’s leftovers. Good portions for $30/plate, I just wish we could have gotten same-day fresh smoked meats.

During our family weekend getaway to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, we decided to give Bennett’s BBQ a try — and it didn’t disappoint! There were eight of us in total, and despite how busy the restaurant was, we were seated within a reasonable time. The food was fresh, flavorful, and filling — exactly what you want from a BBQ spot. From the tender meats to the hearty sides, everything tasted homemade and satisfying. They also offered a soup and salad bar, which was a nice bonus, especially for a larger group like ours. Our waitress, Erin, seemed a bit on edge at first, but she was absolutely on top of things when it came to service. Drinks stayed full, food came out quickly, and she made sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was warm and family-oriented, perfect for groups. There was also plenty of parking, which made getting in and out easy, even on a busy day. The only downside was the wait time — they were clearly packed, so things moved a little slower than we would have liked. Still, once we were seated, everything went smoothly. Overall, Bennett’s BBQ delivered delicious food and solid service in a welcoming setting. A great stop if you’re craving good Southern BBQ with the family!

Our food was amazing! Everything was cooked perfect and very tender and the deep fried deviled eggs were delicious. Be sure to ask for Robyn G. she was our waitress. Robyn was so sweet, very knowledgeable and funny. We all wish every server was just like her. She's a keeper! She made our experience very memorable. Thank you Robyn, we'll definitely be back!

We showed up a bit late for a Sunday evening & the place was closing in an hour, and they receptionist told us about a 1hr wait. I think we maybe waited only 15mins tops, & they called my name. We got sat at some makeshift addition to the restaurant that was probably added during Covid era. Was mostly an empty area & more so used as an overflow room. Our waitress was great & even though she was very busy she met our every need. Brisket was tender & good flavor. The burnt ends were some of the best I’ve had! Really good Mac & cheese & we tried the deep fried corn on the cob that was okay but nothing special what we were expecting by its description. The ribs were very flavorful & pretty good.

My wife and I where visiting from Seattle and where craving some serious bbq. Walked in on a late Thursday night and had a 15-20 min wait (very good sign). Absolutely had a wonderful time here and worth the wait. Gary our server was the most welcoming and made us feel like old friends, while another server, Kara, was an absolute delight to chat with. The food was delicious but could have been slightly warmer. Need to go back to try all the other sauces as the house sauce was too tempting and needed to be used on everything.

Nice restaurant, nice staff, but the food wasn't so nice. If you're just looking for some BBQ, this place will do but if you're looking for good BBQ, this isn't the place. I ordered the brisket and baby back ribs and both were dry and overcooked. They have 3 types of BBQ sauce also...your regular BBQ sauce, a mustard base sauce, and an extremely sweet sauce. I really love spicy food so I wish they had some type of spicy BBQ sauce. Next time I will try one of the other BBQ spots n hopefully I'll find that good Tennessee BBQ that everyone talks about.

The food was phenomenal. Smokey, juicy, and flavorful. The Texas sampler gave us a good taste of everything. That jalapeno sausage was perfection. Definitely recommend if you are in the area. Make sure you note the hours on their website. We ordered pick up and a glitch allowed it even though they were closing. They were very gracious and we were able to still pick up and enjoy.

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 :)

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.

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.

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

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!

Great location, awesome food, nice atmosphere. Highly recommend. Came in the pouring down rain on 9-16-25 after driving 7 hours there. We were starved and this place hit the spot! The free Vittles were a great 👍 addition to the meals. If you don't order a meal(s) then they'll just charge you for the Vittles. Good food! Prefect location. The sweet tea was good too!

Joshua was our server and I can’t say enough about his great, friendly service. It’s so nice to see old fashioned great customer care like this! Adorable restaurant with southern decor and a variety of catfish and other dishes. The Cole slaw is just the way we like it and prices are fair. Definitely recommend.

While visiting Pigeon Forge Tennessee with my veteran family, my wife and I stopped in for the Catfish at Huck Finn's Catfish. No one told us about Huck Finn's, we were passing by and thought we would try. DELICIOUS! 😋 The Catfish was very tasty with a nice crunch on the outside tender on the inside. The tea was excellent. We also had chicken legs and wings! They were very tasty as well. Our host Allison I believe her name is was awesome! She made sure we were well taken care of! The tea she made was so good! We truly appreciate Allison. Huck Finn's Catfish.....5 Stars 🌟

Old style atmosphere. When you get a meal like 3 piece catfish fillets you get a spread of vittles ahead of meal, which includes hush puppies, pickles, onion, beans and ham, slaw. We were going to get appetizer first till we saw all the vittles. I topped it off with apple cobbler with ice cream which was my favorite of the meal. My wife liked the beans and ham the most. David our server took good care of us.

This place was delicious!! The chicken was fried perfectly. It was seasoned perfect not too salty. There was so much food. I thought prices were good for location and the amount of food. Waitress was super sweet and really quick. There was a long wait but it was with it. The turn over rate was great. People were in and out fast and we walked around while we waited.

Update We returned this evening for the catfish dinner. My husband told me he was taking me out for catfish for dinner on my birthday (today). He just didn't tell me he was taking me 438 miles to get it at my favorite location in Pigeon Forge,TN. Our waiter (Mo) is absolutely awesome. The food phenomenal, as usual. We come from Indiana. Can't wait to return. We will definitely return when we are here, every time. What a wonderful place to have lunch on the last day of our honeymoon adventure. The atmosphere was super friendly. Our waitress was perfect: friendly, confident, checked to see if we needed anything in a timely manner, and an all-around great waitress. We stopped in the shop as we were leaving to purchase a few items. Everything about this place was welcoming. And let's not forget the food. It was Delicious. My husband and I Strongly recommend this great restaurant.

Came here with a group of 12 and while we did have to wait a bit for a table (understandable) we all really enjoyed this place. The gift shop is nice and reasonable, the decorating is fun and suits the Tennessee vibe, and the waiters and staff all were extremely nice and helpful. The prices were some of the best value for proportions we got during our entire trip! Everyone at your table shares generous portions of “vittles” which is basically your sides. beans, fried pickles, hush puppies, cole slaw, etc. Then each individual orders a separate main dish, with one side for themselves. I got breaded shrimp and fries with sweet tea. It was $22 for all including vittles and I thought that was very reasonable.

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.

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.

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.

We liked it here! Portions are very generous. And the Waitresses are great. We were treated so well. And she listened to literally everything we requested! The managers are nice and every staff never had a smile on their Face. So refreshing. We loved the atmosphere… so cool and there was so much to look at! Kid friendly and Clean Highchairs! Can sit large groups easily! Prices are decent! We will be back! Extensive Menu options as well!! Plenty of parking! See you Next time on Our mini Getaway!! -The Kanevski Family

Classic Mexican joint with fun, festive décor. The hostess seated us quickly and got our drinks right away. Our waitress was friendly and efficient, getting our order started fast. We kicked things off with some queso and chips—great for snacking while deciding on entrees. I went with the “Outrageous Chimichanga,” which had shredded beef, chicken, and ground beef. With a name like that, I expected something a bit bigger, so the size was a slight letdown—but the flavor made up for it. For the price, I can’t complain. Service was solid throughout—my drink never hit empty, and the chips stayed hot and refilled. Overall, a decent spot for casual Mexican food with quick, friendly service.

Great service and great food, was in town for the week and found this place. Loved the food and the ambiance, food was fresh and waiter was very attentive and polite. No issues with parking or seating, came in and got seated right away. Would definitely recommend this place and will return when I’m back in town next time.

This was the worst experience I have ever had, Taco Bell Food is better than this place. If I could give them Zero stars I would. There were three of us two of us were served our meals right away and our third person had to wait 10 extra minutes because they forgot about her. The food was horrible. I do not recommend this place at all. Picture below Rice and beans tasted like they were out of a can and the Taco is not Mexican. This is supposed to be a Mexican restaurant. Taco Bell has better meals. This was a $15-$16 plate. Would I come here again, no way Jose!!! I Should’ve paid attention to the restaurant name, which is no way Jose!!

Worst food & experience I’ve ever had! Food came out lukewarm at best, chicken in the fajita burrito was cold, dry & tough, like it had been cooked 4 hours earlier. Onions were so hard that I couldn’t even stick a fork in them. One small slice of bell pepper in the whole burrito & waitress kept coughing on everyone & their food & drinks without covering her mouth. No discount given & manager didn’t even try to fix this disaster. 35 dollars for one burrito & one drink. Never again! Never, ever! I really hope I don’t get food poisoning 🤢 Pigeon Forge location. Waste of money, time and I’m not feeling well since just eating there

Last time we visited the one on Gatlinburg and they were out of tortillas and only gave us enough toppings for 1 person fajita, when we ordered for two. Then charged us Xtra to give us more. Tried the on in Pigeon Forge and the service was awful. We ordered maragaritas that were $14.50 each, that was mostly ice and not even filled up to the top. We ordered food and 40 minutes later it still wasn't started. Server was aloof and no where to be found and had to hunt her down to get her kids drinks. Horrible experience. Do not recommend. Oh and the silverware was filthy.

Excellent food. Great service and clean, fun atmosphere!! Will definitely visit again

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.

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 had a Joe’s Crab Shack in the Birmingham metropolitan area, but for some reason (it didn’t seem to lack patrons) it closed down several years ago. My wife and I really liked eating there so when we saw this Joe’s Crab shack in Pigeon Forge, we decided immediately that it would be where we would eat dinner. I’ve always wanted to branch out and order one of the boiled crab dinners, but since we might not have another chance to eat at another Joe’s Crab Shack for a while both my wife and I resorted to ordering our favorite, the Coconut Shrimp. We also shared an appetizer, the Shrimp and Crab Dip. The Coconut Shrimps were excellent as usual, especially when dipped into the marmalade sauce. The fries were just about perfect, crisp on the outside. At first, I thought the crab dip was too salty (I’m not a big salt person) but then I realized the excess salt was on the taco chips that came with the dip, not in the dip itself. Once I figured out how to rub the excess salt off the chips with my fingers the problem solved. The people at the table next to us also seem to be really enjoying their king crab legs. The young lady who was our server was excellent. She appeared and our table immediately after we sat down. She brought me another Diet Coke without me having to ask, she remember both times to bring me slices of lemon to go with my Diet Coke; you’d be surprised how often servers ignore or forget to bring me lemon slices that I always request with my drink. She also came by several times to check that everything was okay

This food chain serves crab buckets and stuffed shrimp, along with delicious American dishes. We started with the star of the show, the Crab Steampot, which was wonderful. It's a platter filled with various types of crab legs, corn on the cob, and potatoes. Next, we tried the Cajun Mac & Cheese with macaroni in a creamy sauce, sausage, and topped with crispy fried chicken. Not to be outdone was the delicious and classic Fish & Chips, which often comes with a side of coleslaw, and this time we also chose rice. We also ordered the Linguini Platter, served with shrimp scampi and a fried fish fillet topped with artichokes and tomatoes. Everything was wonderful; the service was a 10/10. We celebrated life and friendship with an amazing outing—it couldn't have been better. We loved everything.

Best part of my whole trip was eating here! Out waitress was super friendly and in a fantastic mood. The sea food was better then that I have had in Florida and the crab/cream cheese ball appetizer was delicious. Really wish I had one near me, will forever be in my must stop at list when traveling

Excellent service, fun environment, really good food! Conrad is an excellent server! He's knowledgeable, funny, and on the ball! We were happy to find a great place to eat in the middle of a tourist area!

Friendly staff satisfied seating request. Food was pricey but delicious. Excellent menu options. Don't miss the deserts

The service here was amazing. We were greeted as soon as we came in and made to feel like we were the only customers in the world. Although other customers came in while you were ordering to go, the hostess focused on our order instead of the people walking in the door. The food here was not as I expected. The seafood was overcooked everything I had was chewy. For a franchise I was very disappointed.

We had an excellent meal! We have a gluten allergy in our group. We spoke to the GM due to the website and allergen menu not being up to date with their current menu. Our meal was prepared separately in different area. Sydney was an amazing server! She rocked!!!

This was my and my husband's first experience with a hibachi restaurant and we both adored it! Watching everything get cooked right in front of us, with a dramatic flare, was a very fun experience. There were plenty of options to choose from. The soup was good - I tried ginger dressing for the first time; I found out I'm not a fan, but that's okay! Whatever sauce was used to cook the rice, vegetables, and chicken in was very good. They were out of broccoli, so they offered us extra carrots, and we were more than happy with it. Both of us were amazed at how big our plates were! We ended up taking 3 to-go boxes home and shared it with two other people for dinner. We definitely want to return, the food was delicious and it was worth every penny!

Soup was so salty that I didn’t want a second taste. Plate was big but quality is bad, just like express Chinese food. Hibachi chicken tasted like extra soy sauce, no hibachi flavor at all. Vegetables were overcooked. The prices seen on google map are not up to date. Dinner is between $18.5 +The photo shows how much was left on my plate that I didn’t want to continue eating because it was not good at all. We ordered additional noodles for $4.99. They were extremely salty as well. Regret coming here: expensive, disappointing food and 30 minutes wait. Will not return

My arm candy wife and I ate here last night. They close at 9, and we only arrived at 8:15. They still left us sit. The entire staff were very friendly. The show was entertaining. The food was just awesome, and since you get so much food, the leftovers will be great too! The hot wife has a seafood allergy. I told the waitress when she was taking our order. They were very accommodating. When the chef came out, he immediately asked her if she is allergic. So he cooked all of the food, and then cooked the seafood, that other people ordered last. The price was about $60, which is great, especially for how much food you get! We would definitely eat there again!

Got a couple of sushi rolls and soft shell crab for the appetizer with a few brews in. Sashimi was really good. Soup was bland, would not recommend. Not bad for the price and portion you get. Not the best but hits the spot.

Little Tokyo Restaurant was absolutely tasty 😋. You can choose from lunch or dinner. We had the Steak with fried rice, shrimp and vegetables. We were veterans with family at two grills. We were given a veteran discount! Excellent service! Delicious 😋 food! Thank you Little Tokyo Restaurant. 5 Stars 🌟

🍱 Little Tokyo – Solid Spot for Japanese Food with a Chill Vibe Went to Little Tokyo with my family—six of us total—and they were quick to make room for our group, which was awesome. The atmosphere isn’t fancy or upscale, just your regular laid-back spot where you can enjoy a good meal without any pressure. Our server was super nice and kept things moving smoothly. They’ve got a hibachi area if you’re into the whole cooking-in-front-of-you experience, but you can also sit at a regular table if you just want to eat and chat. The menu has all the Japanese staples—sushi, hibachi, teriyaki, and of course, shrimp sauce (which we definitely used generously). The food was tasty and hit the spot. Only thing I’d skip next time is the soup they serve at the beginning—it honestly tasted like dishwater. But everything else was solid, and I’d recommend it if you’re hungry and want something satisfying. Good for families, groups, or just grabbing a bite with friends.

Little Tokyo is one of our favorites in Pigeon Forge TN. Food is so delicious and they give you tons for your money!

Best pizza in Sevier county! We are locals & have tried several pizza spots but now that we've tried Geno's, the search for great pizza is over. Delicious, hot and fresh pizza. We also ordered garlic knots which were seasoned to perfection and swimming in delicious garlic butter. Ordered some house-made ranch to dip my pizza in and it was great as well. Staff was friendly & accommodating, and service was quick. Will definitely be back 😊

John hooked us up with the "best pizza in the world". My son loved their pepperoni pan pizza and I got their spinach calzone. Great crust. Tasty sauce. Good stringy cheese pulls. Pretty damn decent for a hole in the wall. (Small dine in. Maybe 3 tables. Wish they had space for a few more tables)

First time eating here. The pizza was great, and the Garlic Knots are the best I ever had. The service was upbeat and punctual. The owner came out and talked to us, making that small businesses feel even better. Everyone should definitely try this place. Love, love, love it.

Well, butter my biscuits and call me a possum, I ain’t never had a slice o’ pizza that made my taste buds holler like a hog in a hailstorm ‘til I moseyed into Geno’s Pizza Joint! This here’s a place where the grub’s so good, it’d make a preacher cuss on Sunday. First off, lemme tell ya ‘bout John, the feller runnin’ this outfit. He’s finer than frog hair split four ways—kinder than a coonhound pup and slicker than a greased pig at the county fair. John ain’t just slingin’ dough; he’s craftin’ pies with more heart than a widow’s prayer meetin’. You can tell he’s got a hankerin’ for makin’ folks happy, and his pizzas are proof he’s got the know-how to back it up. The pizza? Lordy, it’s hotter than a two-dollar pistol and tastier than a mess o’ fried catfish. The crust’s crispy as a fresh dollar bill, but soft inside like a warm hug from Mamaw. The sauce? Sweeter than a peach plucked right off the tree, with just enough tang to make your tongue do a jig. And the cheese—well, it’s stretchier than a tall tale at a fishin’ camp. I got me a pepperoni pie, and them little meat circles was scattered ‘cross that pizza like stars in a holler sky. I reckon the supreme pizza’s busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kickin’ contest, piled high with fixin’s—onions, peppers, sausage, and whatnot. Every bite’s like a barn dance in your mouth, all the flavors twirlin’ ‘round like they’s courtin’. Ain’t no skimpin’ here neither; John loads ‘em up like he’s feedin’ a whole passel o’ kinfolk. The place itself’s cozy as a quilt on a winter night, and the folks workin’ there’s friendlier than a speckled pup under a red wagon. John’s always flittin’ ‘round, checkin’ on folks, crackin’ jokes, and makin’ sure everybody’s grinnin’ wider than a mule eatin’ briars. He’s the cat’s meow, that John, and his pizzas are the bee’s knees. If you ain’t been to Geno’s Pizza Joint, you’re missin’ out worse than a rooster in a henhouse with no hens. Get on down there, grab a slice, and tell John this ol’ hillbilly sent ya. It’s so good, it’ll make you wanna slap your granny—but don’t, ‘cause that ain’t polite.

A Hidden Gem in Sevierville: Why Geno’s Pizza Deserves More Than 3.4 Stars It’s rare to find a pizzeria that feels both local and unforgettable, but Geno’s Pizza in Sevierville, TN, delivers just that. Frankly, I’m baffled at its modest 3.4-star rating, because our experience was nothing short of outstanding. The standout of our visit began with the garlic butter cheese sticks—pillowy soft, golden brown, and perfectly balanced with that indulgent hit of buttery garlic. They were so good, even my notoriously picky six-year-old devoured them without hesitation (a feat worth celebrating in itself). THESE THINGS SLAPPED!!! For the main event, we explored their specialty pizzas. The Nashville Hot Chicken Pizza is a bold, flavorful masterpiece that perfectly marries heat with savoriness, a regional twist that elevates standard pizza night into a memorable culinary adventure. On the flip side, the All Meat Pizza was a glorious medley of hearty toppings, executed with just the right proportion and crispness to avoid the heavy, overloaded feel that often plagues meat-lover pies. The best part? Geno’s manages to deliver this level of quality without gouging its guests—affordable pricing that makes indulgence guilt-free and leaves you plotting your next visit before you’ve even left. In fact, we loved it so much that we returned again on our way out of town. This will now be a staple every time we come to Pigeon Forge. Verdict: Geno’s Pizza is a Sevierville staple that deserves far more acclaim than its current rating suggests. Family-friendly, affordable, and consistently delicious, it’s the kind of local spot you don’t just stumble into—you remember it, and you make it a point to return.

BRAVO!! BRAVO!! Superior food!! Very fresh and high quality ingredients with excellent flavors and cooking styles. A tasty fresh dough and delicious veggies. Very warm, friendly service. Everything including bathrooms nice and clean! A wonderful experience walking in to walking out. Thank you John and Margo, see you next October! Lisa. Arkansas

We found this pizza spot on our hotel key card and took a chance. It came kind of luke warm but it was good. The cheese was really good and tasted real. We got the thin NY style and liked it. Was pretty expensive for delivery but worth it.

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 !! 🙌

Much better than expected! We really enjoyed ourselves. The wings were much better than most pizza places and the salad and meatballs were good as well. The pizza was both interesting and good. They had some novel flavors and combinations that I really enjoyed. It was a refreshing departure from the usual and I really liked it even if it would never be my “favorite.” The ‘Brazilian steakhouse for pizza’ concept mostly worked. There was a bit of a lull where they seemed to have run out of pizza ready to serve. It only lasted about 10 minutes, but some other customers were unnecessarily rude about it. The staff was unfailingly polite and everything was very, very clean. I usually skip dessert pizzas, but theirs were above average and I think I tried them all. I would go back.

Pizza-Rio was such a fun and unique dining experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming, modern, and clean. The dining room is bright with plenty of natural light, and the tables are nicely set with thoughtful little touches like oil, hot sauce, and even a candle on the table – giving it a cozy but upscale vibe. The service was excellent from start to finish. Our server explained how the Brazilian all-you-can-eat pizza concept worked, and they were attentive throughout the meal, asked if we were celebrating anything special and incorporated it into our visit, as well as always making sure we had what we needed. We started with fresh bread, crisp Caesar salad, and cold water served in a carafe, which was a nice touch. The salad was simple but fresh with crunchy croutons and plenty of parmesan. Then came the star of the show – the endless pizzas! They rotate through with different trays and offer you a slice right at the table. The variety was incredible: from traditional flavors like pepperoni, cheese, Hawaiian, and margherita, to more unique options like broccoli and corn, nachos pizza, and even loaded meat combinations. It was so fun to try things I normally wouldn’t think to order, and the quality was consistently good. The crust was baked perfectly, the toppings were fresh, and the flavors were bold. Just when we thought we were too full, the dessert pizzas came out – and wow. The Nutella Com Morango, Banoffee (which has Brazilian dulce de leche), and Brigadeiro pizzas were the perfect sweet ending to the meal. It’s not every day you get dessert on pizza, and it was surprisingly delicious. Overall, Pizza-Rio is a must-visit in Pigeon Forge if you’re looking for something different from the usual. It’s all-you-can-eat, but with a classy and fun twist, and you truly get to try flavors you can’t find anywhere else. Between the excellent service, clean and modern atmosphere, and amazing food, I’d absolutely come back again. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!

We really enjoyed the pizzas that Pizza Rio provided. The wings were delicious (lemon pepper was the best flavor) and they give you as many as you want. I also really liked a lot of the pizzas, my favorite was the bacon, the vegetable, and the chicken catupiry. I did have one pizza I disliked and that’s the stroganoff one, it tasted too much like mustard and nothing like the stroganoff that I’ve had in Brazil. The dessert pizzas were even better and you can’t go wrong with any of them. My favorite was the banoffee, brigadeiro, and coconut. The Nutella one was good too and so was the Romeo e Julieta.

We checked out Pizza-Rio – The Brazilian Way while in Pigeon Forge, and I’ve gotta say… we loved it. From the second we walked in, the hostess and servers were so friendly—like genuinely warm, not just “tourist town polite.” The food? Amazing. Everything came out fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. The mushroom pizza was rich and earthy, with just the right amount of cheese—not greasy, just perfectly balanced. And the steak pizza? Total showstopper. Juicy, flavorful, and so satisfying. Honestly, you can tell they care about what they’re serving. If you’re in Pigeon Forge and want something a little different from the usual spots, this is absolutely worth a stop. We’ll be talking about that mushroom pizza for a while. We HIGHLY recommend Pizza Rio, and we WILL be back!

This place was amazing!! I love pizza, I would say that I am a pizza connoisseur by every means. The appetizers were so delicious! I got the Caesar salad and my fiancee ordered the wings. We ate all this before we even got to the pizza. As for the pizza, it was most, most, most, excellent. They were just bringing out different types of pizza and I just ate whatever came to our table at that point. I didn't eat the crust so I could eat more pizza. Everyone was really extraordinary with the service. I would go every weekend if I lived in pigeon forge. Ratings: Old fashioned 10/10 Buffalo chicken wings 8/10 Garlic Parmesan wings 9/10 Pepperoni pizza 9/10 Nachos pizza 9/10 Supreme pizza 8/10 Cheese pizza 10/10 Quatro Carnes Pizza 10/10

Our favorite place we ate in the area. The Brazilian style is well worth the price. For 20 some each you got starter course, then wings, then over 17 choices of pizza unlimited and followed by dessert pizza!! Everything we tasted was amazing. The four cheese pizza I thought about the rest of the trip and Doritos pizza never would guessed it would be so good. Our waiter Louis was very good friendly and attentive. The only thing I could see being slight concern for some - if you have allergies the pizza choices come out on the same pan so they appear to be cooked with each other. Would definitely recommend to anyone going to the area the food is phenomenal, even waiters who weren’t ours checked in on us. Loved it definitely will stop back if we get back to the area

If youre in the Pigeon Forge area and are looking for a great restaurant, don't hesitate, go to Pizza Rio. It is a beautiful, clean building. Very well staffed with attentive servers. The food is amazing and the concept is like nothing I've seen (we've eaten at a Brazilian steak house before, this is that but with pizza) . We've eaten at many restaurants all over the US and this place ranks in my top 5 easily. Go hungry! Don't shy at the price, it is well worth the $28 per person. They bring small portions and small pizza slices, which is perfect, so you can try as much as possible. They have very interesting toppings, and we love something different. But there's also basics, like pepperoni and cheese, for the less adventerous. We loved the steak pizza, the mushroom, the four meat, and so much more! Even their black coffee was perfect, it's usually too weak for me. All of their food was excellent, but their dessert pizzas were some of the best things I have ever tasted. Love it! Recommend it! Thanks for a great experience for my son's 19th birthday.

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

I had to stay there for 3 months because they forced us to sign a contract. Our money would stay with them. It's a disgraceful place. It's run by a Pakistani. He also turned the hotel into Pakistan. He says he was looking at the camera and writes a fine accordingly. There are insects everywhere. Even though this ridiculous place is a motel, even though we said there was a bug nest on the curtain, look, a BUG NEST is not an insect. We were told to wash the curtains. DEFINITELY DO NOT GO. IT'S A DISGRACEFUL PLACE.

This might be the worst place I've ever stayed. Especially, I warn J1s who will spend 2025 Summer here. DO NOT STAY HERE. You can stay at different hotels around the area with same price. If you choose to stay here it will be worst decision of your summer.

WARNING WARNING WARNING!! Worst hotel in the area, small, old, smelly, dirty rooms filled with cockroach, flies and bugs, requested for a room change but request was swept away rudely, the last straw was unfriendly staffs and owner that refuse to listen. Very bad experience and terrible would never ever recommend to stay in this place worst place I’ve encountered in my whole life. 2 Star Hotel? Cut that bullsh*t, actual rating should be a negative. Positive reviews from last time? Owners probably paid someone to write them. This place is a total nightmare.

We stayed here a couple of times and didn’t have any issues. But this time was absolutely not the case. We were woken up at midnight to friggen bedbugs. My friend had several bites on here so we went to the office. No one was there finally the maintenance man came he confirmed it was bedbugs and we were able to move rooms. Upon checking out we ask what was going to happen. They told us a company came and they only found one bug and that just so happened to be the one we captured in a bag. And that everything was taken care of. I guess they didn’t take into accountability all the others that were on the mattress. The maintenance man told us the owner would come talk to us and compensation us for that night. That never happened they avoided us won’t answer our phone calls. So I just wanted to let everyone know that if you are thinking about staying here because it’s a bargain DON’T DO IT or you could take home more than a bargain.

The staff is so nice here and I love the cozy rooms and view from the little balcony. However. After staying here then being home for a few days we noticed we had gained some bed bugs. I'm certain they came from this motel, as I do not leave my home often and could not have gotten them to this degree from anyone on the trolley or in Dollywood. I hope they will check for these bugs soon so no one else has this problem. Bed bugs are the worst.

Room was not clean...as I searched for housekeeper I found her in a room with a blonde woman and they were using needles. The same woman walked into our room without knocking. My wife was in the shower, when she stepped out the housekeeper to off out the door and just disappeared. The woman running the front desk didn't say or do anything about it and would not refund my $80 for night. Other guests paid different prices from what I had gathered from the other guests. Couple said $50, one said they paid $70 and one even stated they paid $95. Why are there different prices for the sane run down & unclean rooms.????? THIS IS A NASTY PLACE AND THE HOUSEKEEPER CLEARLY NEEDS TO BE FIRED!

The pictures do not look anything like the place we stayed. The building is very dated and somewhat run down. The elevator sounded like it was going to drop us. The room was very spacious and had a nice view of the river, however we only had one TV channel and the shower was almost impossible to get the water to a tolerable temperature. Not to mention that the hot and cold water are backwards on both the sink and the shower. The worst part was when we went to go to bed at midnight after the office was closed and pulled back the sheets. It looked like they had just made up the bed after the last customer and did not take them off and wash them, there was hair all over the pillowcases and in between the sheets. We had to pull the fitted sheet off of the bed and pull the flat sheet up to sleep on. I've never been so disgusted in my life.
