“The restaurant is very clean, as soon as we walked in the staff were very welcoming and friendly. The salsa is so delicious 😋 We are that up so they brought us some more. Our entrees came quickly, they were hot and so very delicious. The seasoning on the grilled chicken strips is amazing, so much flavor my taste buds wanted me to keep eating because it was that great, however I was getting full since the portions are hardy. Our server was so efficient, he brought us a to-go box, a bag for the chips and a container with a lid for the salsa. We loved the music and decorations. We highly recommend this restaurant. We definitely will go again 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😋😋❤️“

It is attached to the Wayback hotel which is across from the Island. Great food option while you are in Pigeon Forge area.“
