“Driving through Pigeon Forge, we saw a ton of signs promoting this place. It promoted an All You Can Eat buffet that included Crab Legs. So we decided to check it out.

The regular buffet price was $28 for an adult. For an extra $26 you can enjoy the crab legs. Warning, don't share the crab with someone who didn't pay for it, they will see it and add it to the other person's bill.
The buffet had a very good selection of seafood. Lots of shrimp, crab cakes, clam strips, chicken, pot roast, and even some baked fish.
Let's start with the bad. I would not recommend the baked chicken, pot roast, or crab cakes. The cakes were the absolute worst item on the buffet.
The best selections included the fried clams, fried shrimp, muscles, and surprisingly their mashed potatoes were amazing.
To be honest, for the extra $26, the crab legs were very Meh. Not great, but not horrible. If I go back, I probably won't splurge for them.
The restaurants floor looks horrible. Coming apart, looks dirty, and sometimes a possible trip hazard. The other weird thing is the buffet area is carpeted. On top of that there are two AC units in that room that just drop condensation on the floor. That can't be good or healthy, promotes mold.
I don't see myself fighting to go back.aybe if they offered a discount or something. Not saying to avoid this place, just don't expect 5 star dining.“

“Food was amazing, service was very nice. Our waitress at the Gatlinburg location was so sweet. 🤍 Definitely recommend for a family or date night.“

“Can’t say enough good things. Great service, owners and food! Highly suggest the 4 person boil. The best crab legs and shrimp.“

“What an amazing experience we had on 9/8/26. After a trip to Cherokee and seeing all the fisherman out catching Trout we really wanted to try it. We stumbled upon the Trout House and it had great reviews. We were immediately greeted by a gentleman and the service was on point the whole dinner. Hush Puppies and Chips delicious, Trout Fritters delicious and the Blackened Trout and Cole Slaw were five ⭐️. It was nice to try something new. We will be back!!“

“First time there. The food was absolutely delicious!!!! The bread pudding was the best I’ve had!! We will definitely be back!!!!“

“Toda la comida Esta sabrosa“

“Indoor dining is fantastic food & service!“

“Our first visit and not our last. The service was amazing couldn’t not have asked for quicker service. The food was top notch. I highly recommend the Hawaiian fajitas, the pineapples were grilled to perfection.“

“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.“

“It’s a real Long John Silver’s, not one that’s half a Taco Bell or a KFC. Those hybrid ones are gross with the stuff all fried in the same grease and tainting the taste of the fish, crumbs, and fries. But this one is a stand-alone like they all used to be, so you can get delicious food here. Please come eat here and enjoy food like you remember.“

“Best steak fajitas I have ever had...they were tender, juicy, and flavorfull... totally recommend this place! Staff were very friendly, attentive and the food was quick!“

“Solid 5 stars! Amazing filet, prime rib, Neva’s potatoes, bread, and cheesecake. Everything was top notch and service was great as well. We will definitely be back!“

“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“
