“We went tonight for my mom’s birthday and our Waitress, Jen, was absolutely AMAZING!!! She interacted with all of us so well and cut up and chatted with us and we never had to “want” for anything. She already got it haha the drinks were never empty and we never had to ask for sauce or Anything! And the food was perfect as usual. But her personality and hospitality was literally the best. she so deserves to be recognized! We loved her!“

“The vibe and atmosphere here are everything. Wow, this place really blew me away.

To begin, the manager seemed very hands-on, even helping the staff clear and set up a table for us. They also accommodated our request to sit by the window for the beautiful view, despite that area being shut down for the rest of the night, which I really appreciated. The entire staff was more than happy to accommodate anything we needed and was incredibly welcoming and attentive. Everything about this place just makes you feel at home.

And then you get to the food—and dang, it’s good. Just really solid homestyle cooking that’s plated and presented well. The portion sizes are generous for what you’re paying too, so you definitely feel like you’re getting your money’s worth.

They start you off with a complimentary vegetable soup, which was SO good, and I’m someone who would normally never spring for vegetable soup. I will say that some of the sides were lacking just slightly in flavor, but genuinely, a smidge of salt from the table got them right. The textures were more than acceptable too. For example, the mac and cheese was very cheesy, while the noodles were cooked well and still al dente.

And don’t even get me started on the rolls. They’re like a combination between bread and a biscuit, and I could come back just to eat a dozen of those.

I ordered the meatloaf, and the sauce was literally perfect. The texture and the ratio of everything in the meatloaf were truly an experience, especially considering meatloaf is my favorite dish. They absolutely did it justice.

Between the atmosphere, the hospitality, the view, the value, and the homestyle food, this place is definitely a must-try and absolutely worth the visit.“

“Excellent food. Good price, and the service was outstanding. Ms Vicki is the best“

“We were passing through and decided to stop since we no longer have a Shoney’s in our hometown. The food was great , service was great, and my kids loved getting to try their first hot fudge cake!“

“Great food! Amazingly yummy desserts. Friendly and fast service which is rare. We will definitely be back. 😊“

“I absolutely love Healthy Balance! I had major surgery on my foot, which required 12 weeks of recovery/ rehab, no weight bearing. Healthy Balance has been a lifesaver! Delicious, homemade frozen meals, that require no prep! Just heat and serve. We buy 10 ant a time and keep them in our freezer. We eat them about 3 times a week… the owners are delightful, and helpful!
The restaurant itself is very pleasant, and has a lovely, creative menu of fresh meals. We highly recommend this local, family owned restaurant, whether you eat in, or need some home cooked frozen meals. We are so blessed to have them!“

“Wonderful service from Jennifer B!“

“Other than waiting a long time to be seated (there was only one person covering the whole dining and bar area) the food was GREAT. The catfish was clean (no mud stripe) and flaky white; the smoked pulled pork was near perfect, baked potatoes WERE perfect, and THE best fried okra I've had in a long time. This food satisfied three pallets from 9 to 78 years old.“

“I want to give a shout out to Makayla, she did such an amazing job and was really attentive to our group. Thank you Makayla!“

“Great food. Great Service“

“Jamie is the best server!!! Loved her sense of humor.“

“we ate at the Sevierville location. 10/10 recommend! Sam our waitress was the best. so sweet and never made us feel rushed. kept our cups full too. the cooks there have steaks down to a science as our rib eye and prime rib were perfect in every way! we will be going back in December!“

“1st time eating here and kudos to the person that did my steak. If anyone knows me, they know I order my steak extra well done, burn it, literally. My steak was perfect the first time, did not have to send back to kitchen.

Our waitress, on the other hand, needs to find a new job that does not involve working directly with the public. She had an attitude from the time we were seated till we left. Never asked if we needed anything or wanted and refills or drinks to go.

Overall, excellent place to eat. Highly recommend!!!“

“yes the America staple the best i love this place“

“Tonight we made tacos all from ingredients we bought at Escobar’s, it was absolutely delicious!! We bought pastor, tortillas, produce, and salsas and every bite was amazing. We will definitely be back for more, looking forward to trying other meat options and picking up some tamales. Yum! This is a great Mexican market, authentic!“

“Grabbed a Philly and a chicken teriyaki sub to go. The staff were friendly and quick- and holy smokes were those subs hot! made it all the way back to our cabin over 20min away and they were still nice and hot to eat. Both subs were tasty, although I'd like to mention the teriyaki was especially appreciated for it being the salty kind of teriyaki as opposed to the overly sweet kind.“

“been coming here for years. staff is like family. fun place for karaoke, live bands, something to do every night.“

“The food is so good here and such a friendly staff. We was listening and there was only 3 servers working. We're were thinking oh I dont know about this cause it was so busy. But let me tell you Tina was our server and she never missed a beat. She never let our drinks go low and everything was so perfect. She's an amazing server and we're glad she made our night.“

“We visited Joe’s Crab Shack on Saturday, Dec. 6, 2025 in Sevierville, TN after a very long day at a cheer competition. Our group was a party of 25 — and only 10 of those were adults. 🫣 My family alone is a wild party of six. Usually for my daughter’s cheer competitions, I travel alone, or if my husband joins us, two of our kids stay with grandparents — one because she wants absolutely no part of the cheer world, and our sweet boy Madden is autistic and nonverbal. The world isn’t always built for children like him, and doing something as simple as a weekend getaway can feel impossible. It’s a hard reality for special needs parents. But this weekend, we decided to try. All four kids. New environment. Busy restaurant. I was nervous, honestly terrified, and almost backed out. By the time we arrived, the rest of our group was already seated — one long table for the adults and another for the kids. 😳 And then came Conrad, our server… and the reason this night became something unforgettable. From the moment we sat down, he was on top of everything — quick with our drinks, friendly, calm. But within a minute of getting our drinks, my husband knocked mine over. Before I could even get fully embarrassed, Conrad was right there insisting I stop cleaning because he’s got it covered. Then came the search for the “golden crab,” and… chaos. Kids looking under tables, drinks spilling everywhere — one kid’s drink, then a shark attack drink. Again, I jumped up to clean, and again Conrad swooped in, stopped me, and handled it. He even stood guard over the spill until he got a wet floor sign (kudos to him for following policy 😉). Despite the madness, he stayed cheerful, calm, and kept the atmosphere light. Meanwhile, I’m over there absolutely mortified — former server here, so I know how rough nights like that can be! But this is where I need to truly highlight what made this experience extraordinary. Conrad never rushed us. He never cut corners. Every kid who ordered a shark attack drink got the full experience — lights, excitement, the whole restaurant knowing. He poured into making the night special. Then, in a moment that meant more than he will ever know, I turned around and saw him kneeling beside my son at the kids’ table. Interacting with him. Talking to him. Giving him little toys. He didn’t stare. He didn’t avoid him. He simply saw him. I nudged my husband and we both watched our boy stemming by flap his arms in pure excitement — a moment we rarely get outside of home because we hardly ever go to sit down restaurants as a family. I don’t even think Conrad realized we were watching. But I felt something lift off my chest… like for the first time in a long time, I could relax and enjoy an outing with friends and my whole family. A few minutes later he gently tapped my shoulder to ask about Madden. I started to give the usual “Yes, he’s autistic and nonverbal,” but that wasn’t his question — he wanted to make sure there was something on the menu Madden would like, and if not, he said he’d see what accommodations he could make. My heart absolutely melted. We stayed for a long time — full chaos, noise, spills, laughter — and Conrad never once lost his spark or smile. When one of the kids wanted pepperoni for her cheese pizza (which her mom informed her she ordered her cheese), he found a way to bring her a little bowl anyway. Her face lit up like Christmas and she told him he was the best. And then, as if he hadn’t already gone above and beyond, he led the entire restaurant in singing happy birthday to one of the dads… telling everyone he was turning 15 so the kids could get a good laugh! I truly hope Conrad receives recognition for the way he cared for our wild party of 25. He made an enormous impact on this mama’s heart — especially as the mother of a sweet autistic boy. For the first time, I felt hope that Madden can be part of our family outings without the constant fear or overwhelm we’ve grown used to. Because of Conrad, this night became something more meaningful than dinner after a long day — it became a moment of“

“Unfortunately we had cause to complain about the service - but our server Jessie and supervisor Ashley sorted this out. It meant a longer wait for our food but it was delicious. We liked that the manager came by too checking on us and they made a deduction to the total bill. Well done Red Lobster - you handled the situation in a friendly and professional way.“

“we loved dave and busters in sevierville and our waiters so wonderful. we come back every year. me and my family highly recommend it.“

“We come to the area a lot. We have never stopped until today. We got wings and they were amazing. All of the food is homemade. Sweet potatoe casserole, fresh cut fries, banana pudding, and mashed potatoes are all amazing. We will definitely be back.“

“Great location. Food was wonderful and the waitress was friendly. The inside is decorated so cute. Make sure you check out the Dollywood display box by the bathrooms. Food came out warm and quickly. Easy in and out parking lot. They do have a large section for groups“
