“We're in (or driving through) Pigeon Forge often, and every time we pass this place, it's packed! We finally decided to see what all the fuss was about. We went around 6 PM on a Thursday. They told my wife and me it would be about a 40-minute wait. We were actually seated in about 30. The food was absolutely outstanding! My wife had a cheeseburger, and I had a half rack of ribs. We also split a salad. All of the food was delicious! I had one of their fruity specialty drinks, as well, and it was also yummy. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The prices were also reasonable - especially for a tourist town. We will definitely be visiting again!”

“Awesome, 10/10! All waiters were friendly and charismatic, food was amazing and served in a very timely manner. The restaurant helped us learn about their style of serving because we weren’t sure how it worked, and they explained it very well without being condescending. Would put as one of my top ten restaurants.”

“Ate here twice on 1 trip. Inside atmosphere is nice. Outside patio in back is so peaceful with the water and fish among the beautiful flowers.Both times the staff was awesome. Quick, professional, and wonderful southern hospitality. Many are very capable attentive younger servers and they are rock stars on every aspect of their duties. Our world is in good hands for the future with young men and women like these.Clean facility. And not a bad choice on the menu. PLUS delicious baked goods that can be taken home as well! My meals included their chicken salad and fruit plate, and another trip for chicken broccoli Alfredo. Delicious generous portions.The beautiful pottery touches throughout the visit adds to the charm. I have come to the area for about 50 years from Ohio. This one goes on my favorites list.Parking: Hidden small parking lot in back, or the big parking lot at the trolley station. A few pull in spots in front of some of the old mill shops also.Kid-friendliness: Your sweet babies are more than welcome here.Wheelchair accessibility: All 1 level. Stone walkways can be uneven but accessible.”

The Old Mill Restaurant 164 Old Mill Ave, Pigeon Forge American • $

“This place is legendary! The food, service and hospitality is incredible. For $25 you basically get served a feast. The biscuits with corn fritters and butter to start are ridiculous. Corn chowder served next is excellent. You then get a small salad with a choice of dressing. Then the main course. I had the fried catfish which was outrageous and my wife had the fried chicken and it was also outstanding. The serve it with big bowls of excellent mashed potatoes and wonderful stewed green beans cooked with ham. So good. You also get a dessert. I had the best pecan pie ever! They brought the kids fresh vanilla ice cream on the house. What an amazing restaurant. I can't say it enough.”

“The food here was really delicious however the staff didn't seem to have it together..had to order 3 times to get it taken correct..don't think it was the cashier fault I believe she was training. It was just a bit messy and longer wait for fast food. Just glad the food was good. The dining area was also a bit messy with plenty of staff. Good for food though..”

They have a little station where you can clean your mason jars and bags available for you to take it home in. Our dessert actually ended up being a bit too much for us and we were unable to finish, which definitely isn't a bad thing. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience and we will be returning!”

Corn chowder served next is excellent. You then get a small salad with a choice of dressing. Then the main course. I had the fried catfish which was outrageous and my wife had the fried chicken and it was also outstanding. The serve it with big bowls of excellent mashed potatoes and wonderful stewed green beans cooked with ham. So good. You also get a dessert. I had the best pecan pie ever! They brought the kids fresh vanilla ice cream on the house. What an amazing restaurant. I can't say it enough.”
