“We come here very often. Brianna was our server today. Great service and personality. Also very attentive! Will ask for her every time.”
“Best pick for first night dinner Personal were friendly Nice service Great job to Everybody !!!!”
“Top quality across the menu, but the Salmon Tacos, incredibly made with Faroe Island salmon, are next-level delicious.”
“Always good. Hot and fresh. Friendly staff. A must is you're headed to Pigeon Forge. The Ckicken Tikka Masala and Lamb Curry are both excellent.”
“In January, most dinner shows are not operating. This one was and that’s why we went. It’s very corny but did laugh a few times. The performers are good tap dancers and the band is good.
I’m not sure when they open their doors, but our show was at 5 and we got there at 4:40 and most of the tables were full and people were already eating so definitely get there 20-30 min before the show time. The real show probably started 15-20 after posted time. Chicken was crispy and good. Soup was really good. Mashed potatoes and corn were nothing special. Banana pudding was ok. The servers don’t come around when the show starts so make sure to get a drink refill before it starts. We were paired with another couple who unfortunately was not happy we showed up too… lol which is out of our control. They do warn you, you could be booked with another family. I think this is more of a one time dinner show.”

“We had an absolutely unforgettable time at Pirates Voyage! The show was amazing from start to finish, and I found myself smiling the entire time. One of my favorite moments was when the tiki dancer came out — the fire, the spinning torches, the whole atmosphere was incredible. It felt like we were right in the middle of an island performance.
And then… the seal! Oh my gosh. He was SO adorable and absolutely hilarious — especially when he pretended to faint. That had everyone laughing, and honestly it instantly became one of my top moments of the night.
I also loved the mermaids, the diving acts, and the pirates walking the plank. The whole show had so much energy, talent, and creativity. The performers really know how to pull you into the story.
One thing I really appreciated was how interactive everything was. It wasn’t just watching — the audience got to be part of the excitement. My son and his dad actually won the bucket race, and that just made the night even more special for us. Seeing my son so happy and having the time of his life was everything.
I also want to mention our server, Seth. He was amazing — funny, friendly, super attentive, and really great with our son. He kept us laughing and made sure we had everything we needed. He truly added to the experience.
Overall, the night was magical. Wonderful show, delicious food, incredible staff, and unforgettable moments. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We’ll definitely be back!”
“This place is nothing like anything in the Smokies. We took the family to get here and it’s Latin cuisine with a few tasty twists. The atmosphere was great and the food was delicious. It is attached to the Wayback hotel which is across from the Island. Great food option while you are in Pigeon Forge area.”

“It was our first time in Pigeon Forge. What a great vacation overall. We stumbled across Sunliner Diner and oh my goodness what a find. We grew up in the era of the diner's atmosphere. Fantastic decor and the music was right on point. The guests were even singing along OUTLOUD! We had Chris as our server and boy was he attentive. Nothing was missed. He even took time to talk to us personally with out jeopardizing his other customers. We were there 3 different days and meal times. All of them were great. If you want a blast from the past, dont miss Sunliner Diner”
“First poor experience, but will still recommend and support. I, along with my husband and three kids, visited The Heavenly Roast on Saturday morning the 20th before heading back home. This is a favorite place of ours and we visit whenever we are in town. My husband visited a couple times during the week. We’ve always been supportive of this business. We absolutely love the chocolate peanut butter Frappuccino - no one does it better! When my husband visited the day before, he ordered the chocolate peanut butter Frappuccino blended with the mocha frap plus a shot of espresso and it was fantastic. We asked Saturday morning if they could do that and cashier worker said yes and typed in “Mocha blended with peanut butter.” We assumed it was what we wanted. We also ordered egg bites and a breakfast burrito. When our two 24oz fraps were ready, they don’t look right but I tried one - it was not what we wanted. I went back to the counter and kindly said, “I’m really sorry but this is what we wanted.” That’s hard to do but with the price of the drinks, we wanted what we wanted. The barista (reddish/maroon hair, middle aged, glasses) was rude and demeaning. She said, “Uh yes it is…mocha with a scoop of peanut butter powder.” I clarified we asked for chocolate peanut butter frap blended with mocha and shot of espresso. She went on to say (harshly) that I ordered wrong and what a waste it was. She held up the one we hadn’t tasted and announced to the other customers, “We have a wrong customer order…does anyone want this for free…it’s a good drink.” She said she’d make what we wanted when she could get to it. I was apologetic and thankful. I sat down and just cried. I felt embarrassed and horrible. She treated me so poorly. When it was ready, I went and got it and we hadn’t received our egg bites and burrito yet so I mentioned it and she snarkily replied, “We’re a little busy. I’ll call you when it’s ready.” I just sat and cried more plus our drinks were missing the shot of espresso but I didn’t dare say anything about it. It was a hard ending to our week. We will still be back.”

“The ribeye was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth!! We took key lime to go .... 2 layers like no other.”
“Dude this is so FUN! I’m a big fan of these type of dinner theater things, but this fits Tennessee so so well. Dolly Parton has outdone herself once again. The visuals are neat, but the horsemanship from these crews is so incredible. Food was delicious, best dinner theater food in Pigeon Forge. Which, technically almost all of them in Pigeon Forge are owned by the same company, they clearly favor this show. But guys, PLEASE, if you don’t want to be hootin’ and hollerin’, don’t go! It’s the audience that truly has the most impact on both your own show and for the cast. If you’re the only one stomping, it’s not fun. Get out of your heads and just be loud because it is so fun!”

“All the food was delicious. The kids loved the experience. I chose applesauce as their side and the portion was underwhelming, but the quality of the main courses was excellent. The game card for the kids was a nice touch. The quality and variety of the games in the arcade was so fun and entertaining. As an OT and mom I appreciate they have a nursing room and calming room for overstimulated kids (or adults!). Great addition to Pigeon Forge!”
“We had the best experience here for our family of 5! Just getting in to pigeon forge our family of 5 wanted something good to eat. Even in our sweats we were welcomed from the beginning. Our waiter Marcus was the best! Definitely a must try if you want a fun and unique experience!”
“I had the pleasure of dining at your facility with a cousin and his wife on Friday September 5th. We were greeted warmly by the front desk, seated and informed that Ashley would be our server. She arrived at the table welcomed us, introduced herself and ask if we had drink orders. She took them and left to let us survey your diverse menu. When she returned with drinks she asked if we were ready to order. We were and did, she wrote nothing down! She then told us of some of the exciting memorabilia displayed around your facility. Famous guitars of several world-renowned musicians. Ashley returned with our food and accurately placed each dish at the proper place. Again, without having written anything down. Very good at what she does! Shortly, another of your staff visited to introduce herself, Tina Wilson. Again, very friendly and entertaining. Asking us about our stay in Pigeon Forge, where were we from and more about the exciting stuff at your restaurant. During the delightful conversation she learned that I had just celebrated my 75th birthday. As we finished our meals she returned with a surprise gift, a birthday sundae and she sang a very inspiring Happy Birthday for me. My cousin, his wife and I were just in awe of the friendly and totally professional attitude of these two employees, Tina and Ashley. You should be very proud of these two representing your establishment. Oh, I also got a nice card signed by many of your employees. A totally unexpected and enjoyable experience all the way around. Bravo to all.”
“We are visiting PF, and I was craving some chinese. This place did NOT disappoint! And even though we had it delivered, it was HOT and FRESH and the hibachi chicken and veggies were fantastic and the s&s shrimp was crunchy and sooo good. Not to mention our delivery driver was phenomenal, he caught an error I made in the address but saved the day! Things like that won’t be forgotten. This place is definitely worth a visit!”

“We came to pigeon forge gatlinburg area for a vacation/ belated honeymoon and we had seen on tik tok about this small family owned business. Both my husband and I haven’t had funnel cake in years and we were blowen away by all the choices. Between the ice cream to fudge etc. we choose to go with the traditional but wanted strawberries. The staff was incredible. They put the strawberries and whip cream in containers on the side and we got to dip our cake into it. It was delicious. Fresh hot light and flaky. I could not recommend this place enough. We love supporting small business. Definitely a place we will come back to in the future”
“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 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😋😋❤️”
“Upgraded hotel voucher for $1.50 and ordered the Bananas Foster pancakes. Layers of bananas topped with pecans and a caramel sauce. No need for syrup. Added real whipped butter, not margarine. It was delicious! Highly, Highly, recommend. My husband ordered the steak and eggs and really enjoyed it. It was not a thick cut, but flavorful. Enjoy!”
“This is our Go to place when we go back to TN! Love their pizza, a Must if your in town! Fellow West Virginian 💙💛💚🍕”
“My daughter has a severe dairy, egg, and tree nut allergy. She can't eat out at most restaurants due to risk of cross contamination. My husband read that Mellow Mushroom had a vegan menu, so I called to ask what procedures they use for the vegan items to see if her food could safely be prepared separately from allergen items. I spoke with the manager, Drew, who not only said, "Absolutely we can safely prepare her food, no problem," but then he walked through all the steps that would be taken to ensure her food would be safe. That gave this very anxious allergy mom much needed reassurance and comfort. When we arrived, he came over and introduced himself and again reassured us he would take care of our sweet girl. He even made the pizza himself and returned to our table to explain the safety precautions he took. He truly went above and beyond to make sure my daughter was able to enjoy a meal out. I can't express how much that meant to me and my family. Very thankful to Drew for such a great experience! 10/10 recommend, especially for anyone with strict allergy avoidance.”
“We stopped here for lunch and had 3 burgers, fries, sweet potato fries, onion rings and the ham and cheese sandwich. Everyone raved about the burgers, fries and onion rings were good but the ham and cheese was just okay. The cheese was not melted and the ham was overcooked and dried out.”
“We come here every trip which is several times a year! We came twice this past weekend. Madi was so nice to our daughter each time and provided great customer service. We enjoyed it so much!! Currently craving a cotton candy Gelati but it’s 3.5 hours away 🤣”
“I DO NOT RECOMMEND Have no respect for customers. Just FYI when your payment is pending with them it's not considered paid to them. If a card is declined, it will not show a pending payment for what was so called declined. So was literally held hostage showing them the payment posted on my phone while they were telling me it was declined. Had to get cops involved in the end just so we could leave.”

“The very first time my husband and I visited this café was on our way to our honeymoon. We were on our way to Montana and had come across the Lil Black Bear Cafe. It was back in 2021 and we loved the atmosphere so much because it was welcoming, friendly and the Jesus culture was appealing to us! Since that day forward whenever we visit Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg will always be supportive of this little treasure!”
“We visit Smoky Mountain Brewery frequently. It is one of our favorite places in Gatlinburg. The food is always great along with the service. We always eat in the bar because our favorite server is Oana from Romania. She always remembers what beer we drink and when she takes our order she never writes anything down which always amazes us. She is very attentive and always pleasant to talk to. One of the reasons we always enjoy our visits to the Brewery.”
“Great place for lunch and dinner. And singing birds every half hour is funny and not to loud. Perfect for kids they would get a kick out of the bird’s. Also food was great especially the chicken and waffles probably one of the best I have ever had. Girlfriend had a good experience with her breakfast also she had the eggs and sausage breakfast.”
“Holy heck. I was skeptical, have had a lot of good cinnamon bread in my time, but just from walking by you could smell the deliciousness and I knew it was going to be amazing. We got 3 cinnamon breads for 6 people and ate them all! They were SO amazing fresh all warm and the icing melts on them 🤤 DO NOT miss this place while at Dollywood.”

My daughter loves Crumbl Pigeon Forge! This was her one request when she found out we were coming to visit!”
“Absolutely amazing experience with my family here at mamas farmhouse! We had the best waitress donut! You all are in for a treat if you plan a meal there! I 1000% recommend this place!”

“My husband and I & My son ate there last night. It was my son's first time eating there & he just absolutely Loved it and wanted to give them a 5 Star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating! 😊 The service was great and our food was delicious and ready within 5-6 minutes after ordering. And that was dining in not going through drive thru. This was mine and my husband's 2nd time eating there & it was really good the first time as well. My son really liked the food that he told the lady who took our order all about it and everything. And told her that he became their #1 fan & how everyone should come eat there. He was so thankful for us taking him and wanted to keep telling the lady how pleased he was, that she ended up making him a chocolate milkshake at no charge. He was so excited ☺️☺️ and then me and my husband ended up ordering us milkshakes as well !!”
“Absolutely loved this place! The service here is top-notch — the staff is super friendly, quick, and always making sure everything is perfect. The atmosphere is amazing with great vibes and a comfortable setup to enjoy drinks with friends. This has definitely become one of my favorite spots to relax and have a good time. Highly recommend checking it out! 🥂✨”
“Our experience here as a family was wonderful. The breakfast was delicious, there was a little store that occupied my littles during the wait, and staff were friendly. We ate out many places during our vacation here and our waitress here, Kaylee, was the first waitstaff we had that didn’t make us feel like a bother. We will be back!”
“Everything was amazing. Server was great with a friendly attitude, very informative. Food was prepared quickly and as ordered. The only complaint I could possibly think of would be that the 8oz steak had a portion that was very tough but the rest was amazing and without a doubt I will be returning soon”
“This is a must stop for our family when visiting the area. My husband looks forward to it every time. Not only is the food good, but it comes out quickly. We have small children, so we appreciate a hot meal that comes out fast. We had Traci as our server. She was very kind and attentive. Look forward to next year!”
“was in there tonight and it was crowded. one worker had a problem and had to step away. That left just one...we did not get her name but she handled it like a boss. matter of fact she tried to call her manager several times and manager didn't answer (imagine that). A tip was left ... thank you for the positive attitude”

“My family loves eating here. They’re polite, quick, and delicious. We love that for it being pizza it’s not so greasy like everywhere else. And they give a 25% local discount!🍕😊”
“Excellent! We ate both breakfast and dinner there, and both were great! Their breakfast buffet had fresh fruit, a variety of pastries, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, oatmeal, cereal, delicious breakfast pizzas, and make your own omelets. For dinner we had the Nashville flatbread pizza and shrimp and grits. Both very tasty! The atmosphere is cozy and warm. The staff is all friendly, welcoming, and very attentive! Highly recommend!!”

“Our experience was awesome! My wife is an ICU Nurse and very sensitive to indoor dining no matter how many precautions are taking by the establishment. I was told the outdoor dining had been closed for the season. After a brief explanation to my wife’s story, Kristin offered to seat us outdoors and offered incredible service. She is a true asset to your organization. We will surely be back! Please be sure your staff (Kristin) knows our appreciation. Thanks again for a job well done! Jamie Weatherford”

“Service was kind and Good. The environment was good around the edges, rather than the center. The catfish and flounder was quite dense and unpleasing. The crab was a bit salty but tender, a lot of the food was really well made. The scallops were however, adoring, so soft, tender, and juicy. Desert was also pretty great, notably their chocolate cake.”
