Oh my goodness! If you have not had a down home cooking in a very long time - this is the place for you! My husband had the pot roast and mashed potatoes open face and the meat just melted in your mouth! Very flavorful and delicious and I'm not even a meat eater. I had the catfish was fried green tomatoes and fried okra and it came with this G-Normas buttermilk biscuit! I could not put that biscuit down it was so so good. Our friends had the pot pie and the sugared ham and they both said it was the best that they have ever had. The servings are large enough to take home and half for another meal. The service cannot be beat Dash they are folks that you would have in your own home as family serving you. If you have not stopped here you are missing out!

Went here for early dinner (5-ish on a Sunday) and judging by the reviews, I think we came at the wrong time of day/meal. The restaurant itself is pretty cool and much larger than it looks from the exterior. Outside, there is a pond with ducks, a mill, small waterfall, and scattered farm decor. There are fire pits and rocking chairs outside for those waiting for a table. We needed no wait at this time of day, as it seems the popular meal is breakfast and brunch. Since the lot is fairly small, I think parking could be tough when really busy. There is overflow parking to the right of the building. The upstairs level and kitchen are only open on Friday and Saturday mornings. The workers at the host stand were admittedly off-putting. Seemed very unhappy to see fellow humans walking through the door, which is strange for a person who is paid to welcome people into a biz. Our server, Amanda, was fabulous. Friendly and prompt, always remembering the small details/requests. She even brought complimentary cookies for our kiddos. The menu is small but the portions gigantic. I see mention in reviews of complimentary soup and biscuits. As of April 2022, we were given the complimentary potato soup, which was really great. Biscuits were not complimentary(at least at din), but one was included with two of our three entrees. Note that you are able to switch out your sides, even if a specific one is mentioned in the menu description. We ordered the fried chicken, smokehouse platter, chicken and dumplings, and grilled cheese and chicken tender kid meals. I really appreciated that Amanda told us the sides for the kid meals are large and sharable with the recommendation to get them different sides and they could share. Brilliant! Side-wise, we had carrots, creamed corn, mac and cheese, fried green tomatoes(4-5 slices!), and slaw. Our food came out less than 10 min after ordering. The chicken and dumplings meal was fine. The meat was tender, but I chomped down on a bone fragment that sneakily blended in with the gravy. The gravy itself was lukewarm and needed some seasonings other than salt for depth of flavor. My parents were not a fan of that dish and said that the dumplings had no chew/texture. My dad really liked his fried chicken and said it was hot and the breading well-seasoned. My stepmom really liked the pulled pork but thought the other two meats on her platter were chewy/fatty and not as tender as she had hoped, especially the ribs. We all loved the fried green tomatoes. They are a no-frills version (no toppings or sauces) that are the perfect thickness and well-seasoned/fried. The other sides were admittedly just okay. The slaw was very raw onion-heavy, the mac isn't baked as we hoped and tasted like velveeta, and the corn and carrots were both undercooked and hard and needed seasoning. The biscuits and complimentary potato soup were both excellent. We all said we would come back but next time for brunch, which looks incredible. Crossing fingers we would get Amanda again. She was wonderful!

Oh my golly, Miss Dolly!! This Sevierville local restaurant is our new must stop when visiting the Pigeon Forge area. We eat out a lot and love southern home cooking. We especially love when a restaurant and chef stick to the tried and true, but elevate it slightly. This is what happens at Five Oaks. First off, you'll notice the modern farmhouse vibe. Rustic, yet updated decor makes this place casual and classy all at once. Our server was delightful and shared her honest opinion of the food and other restaurants owned by the same family. I always love that in a server. Now for the food. I ordered the meatloaf which is served over mashed potatoes, and I got a side of the stuffed tomato casserole. Y'all. It was all amazing, and I love my mama's meatloaf. My husband ordered the chicken & dumpling platter. When I say it was a big bowl, I mean it. Was. A. Big. Bowl. Enough for 2 or 3 people. And best of all it was seasoned to perfection t. If you're someone who goes to Cracker Barrel for chicken & dumplings, these will make you forget all about theirs. Lol. Desserts - the banana pudding is fantastic, but if you want something you can't get anywhere else, get the deep fried cinnamon roll. Either prepare to take most of it home or order one for your table (of 4-6!) We will be back!! Maybe tomorrow for breakfast!

EXCELLENT food, excellent service, and excellent atmosphere!! WILL DEFINITELY return!! However the peach cobbler was not too great but overall the experience was amazing. 5 stars!

Food and service was fantastic. Generous portions. Fairly priced. Wife had the fried chicken, stuffed tomatoes and sweet potato. The fried chicken was very good, though the breading was very rich. Sweet potato delicious and the tomato stuffed was unusual but very good. Son had the BBQ sampler platter with pulled pork, brisket and ribs. The brisket was the best piece of pork we have ever eaten. The pulled pork melts in your mouth. The ribs were just ok. I had the sugar ham with potato salad and corn on the cob. The corn was sweet fresh and delicious. The potato salad was down home cooking like my mom used to make. The ham had molasses on it and was so very good. Overall the portions were HUGE and yet oh so good. The service (ours was Trinity) was the best around. Highly recommend.

Often times, food can illicit an emotional response. It can take you back to a long forgotten experience and trigger a lost memory. That happened to me while eating at 5 Oaks Farm Kitchen. I took a bite of the chicken and dumplings and was immediately taken back to my grandmother’s kitchen. They tasted EXACTLY like hers!! She’s been gone for over 30 years and to taste her dumplings again brought tears to my eyes!!! I would eat them every week if I were closer!! It was absolutely an amazing experience, and it is my new favorite!!

For dinner had the fried chicken with okra and stuffed peppers, then we came back for breakfast the next morning. Hit the spot on each of them! Highly recommend

Fantastic lunch site. Great menu that should satisfy most appetites. Staff was absolutely wonderful and attentive. Food was quite tasty and filling. Loved the pecan pie with ice cream.

We stopped in during a visit to the area. I had the pot roast and it was delicious. My husband had the meatloaf and he enjoyed it. My daughter had the brisket sandwich and potato soup. The soup was flavorless. We ordered the peach cobbler and it was okay. All in all it was a decent restaurant.
5 stars is not enough to say about this place. 10 stars would be a good start but it would still need more. We went for breakfast and we were every so glad we did. #1 - Jesus was an outstanding server. #2 - the portion are HUGE and #3 - the food is fantastic. I can highly recommend the griddle cakes along the casseroles and gravy and biscuits (which are huge!). My only warning is the Morning Harvest Bounty meals, while they are good each could feed a family of 4. But overall this place is worth any wait (they do have a waitlist accessible from their website) you must endure.

Food? AMAZING! Call ahead? YES! Variety? ABSOLUTELY!! The staff were lovely and food delicious! We ate twice here over 4 days, so we will be back!

Ribs were good …. Everything else was basic fried/ basic prep… fried chicken was a little hard (was expecting fall of the bone if they are good)…. Chicken and dumplings tasted good - but everything seemed to have too much salt - looks like salt was the main flavor ingredient!

We called around 10:30 am to see if they could accommodate a large party of 50+ that day. Flexible on time. They made it happen! Best service by our team of waiters and waitresses!! Highly recommend. Our group was a high school baseball team and their families.

Good eating is taking place inside this establishment! The restaurant is immaculate and imitates a farm house. There are picnic tables welcoming any size families to sit down and dine together. Menu is limited (good sign the food is delicious) and the dishes are hard to choose from. They simply have all the favorites! I got the pot roast over mashed potatoes and a side salad. My dish was excellent. So much so that the wife turned to me and said we needed to come back here to try breakfast. So we probably will!
