    Came in excited to try this place cuz of Guy Fieri. Lots of things on the menu sounded good so we got the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls, the steak sandwich, chicken sandwich, and a side of mac and cheese. When I tell you... everything was absolutely shockingly flavorless. My steak sandwich had donkey sauce (garlic aioli) and I couldn't even taste the garlic. The mac and cheese was worse than boxed stuff. It didn't even taste like cheese--it just tasted like plain noodles. We were thoroughly disappointed in the food and won't be returning. Bland food aside, our waitress was sweet and very friendly. She kept our drinks full and checked on us appropriately. There are lots of arcade games and things to do. The inside is nicely decorated and fun. Not worth it though.

    Downtown Flavortown is a super-fun, semi-wild, family-friendly place for lunch or dinner in Pigeon Forge. This is a Guy Fieri establishment and every inch of the place has all of his flair! The atmosphere is crazy!!! There is an arcade, duck pin bowling, a tiki bar and fantastic dining area. The vibe is retro while being modern. There are spots for couples all the way up to large parties. The menu has some wild options. We tried the Fat Boy pizza and Ol' School Steak Sandwich. The pizza was good, but a little too crazy for me. The steak sandwich was incredibly delicious. There are options for everyone! The service is stellar. We love Caesar...he was friendly and efficient. When I had a question about the sauce on the pizza, he had a chef come out to speak to us. He was equally awesome! We would recommend Downtown Flavortown on your next Pigeon Forge vacation. It's slightly expensive compared to other area restaurants, but you are getting a completely unique experience...and it's in a great location for other family-friendly things to do!

    Flavortown is very pricey for fun. The Duckpin bowling was $73 for one hour for a family of four and this can change with the day if time. Now duckpin bowling was so much fun. The arcade was your typical Dave and busters and the drinks were pretty good.

    First, the restaurant/arcade feels like a casino. I can't explain it, but it doesn't feel like a Dave and Buster's and the games seemed very expensive. The restaurant itself was just okay. My cheeseburger was decent but not as good as I remember the burgers being on our Carnival cruise - oh, the irony. My kids ate their food without argument, so I assume their meals were okay as well. The restaurant had a 20 minute wait, so it must have been a little busy. Our food took quite a while to make, but I was understanding. The service overall was not great, though. Our server brought the wrong drinks and wasn't interested in refills while we waited. My son's meal came out wrong (he got macaroni and cheese instead of chicken fingers) and no one checked on us. We had to hunt down a server so he could get the correct meal. I also didn't think there was much chicken - it was like 1.5 tenders. Each kids meal comes with a $10 play card, which was enough for the kid to play about 2 games. We didn't buy more plays, and the prizes weren't great.

    We really enjoyed Downtown Flavortown during our visit to the Smoky Mountains, mainly because how much fun duck pin bowling is! This restaurant is also an arcade and bowling alley so plenty of family fun for a very affordable price. I think the food was pretty mid and pricey so I would skip that if i came back here but I stand by highly recommending the bowling; I find myself searching for something similar near my house.

    "Trash can" that nachos are served in.
    Sherry W.

    The atmosphere is very famiky-friendly and food is good! Staff was nice and helpful about what to order and purchase in the gift shop. We ordered the "Trash can Machos" because Guy said, "Ya gotta try." We ordered the Cheeseburger trash can Nachos. They had seasoned beef, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, sliced dill pickles ,red onion, and Donkey sauce. Our server said it's enough for 2 to share as a meal and enough for 4 to share as an appetizer. It cost 21.95, and it's a heaping of nachos.They bring it to your table served in a metal container that resemble a little trash can. I liked the pickled onions so much, I requested more (I was charged for extra.) Same with the Donkey sauce, but I liked it so much, I purchased a big container of it from the gift shop. And, little secret... The Donkey sauce is labeled Secret Sauce (that's the real thing.) Although, they have a "Donkey" sauce in the gift shop, it's not what is actually served on the Nachos. Anyway, you'll probably be like me and purchase both of them (or more) because they are sold at such a good price, $4.99 each. Plus, if you show your dining receipt, you get 20% off things in the gift shop. I agree, ya gotta try them.

    The good and the bad. The not soo good: price for a family of 4. $180. The food was ok so it wasn't worth the price. Also, no real eat and play combos provided. The staff was ehh. Not uber friendly except our waiter Josh. He rocked. Very touristy. Drinks were good.

    Bbq chicken ranch pizza

    Our third time here and still impressed. I was hesitant to go after reading the recent reviews but we had zero issues and the food was great as always. I usually get the bbq wings, this time I tried the pizza and I am glad I did!

    Strawberry margarita bowl

    Last time I came to Downtown Flavortown it was a few years ago and it was just as good as it was then as it is today. It is nicely decorated and well lit. We were seated pretty quickly when we arrived. Our server was friendly and very attentive. We ordered the kids chicken tenders, kids burger, pretzel bites, and a doughnut burger to share with my husband. The pretzel bites were smothered in cheese which is always a good thing and gave it extra flavor. Both kids meals were really good and had a home cooked vibe to them, which the kids ate it all up. The doughnut burger was the perfect combination of salty and sweet. We also had a strawberry margarita bowl that was huge and tasted great, even though it took us a couple of hours to finish it. Once dinner was done we played a few games which was fun and the kids got some pretty decent prizes from the shop. I wish they had a Flavortown back home because if they did we'd be there all the time.

    The bar

    The staff is amazing. The location is perfect. The place is spacious and clean with a great ambiance and lots to do for the kids (arcades). That's where the positive ends. Very overpriced food and drinks. I came twice and both occasions after just a few drinks and an app I saw the bill and had to do a WTF. One and done and for you should be also.

    Table for 4 for lunch We approached the restaurant and noticed the huge shared parking lot and a massive Flavortown mural on the side of the building. The restaurant itself was located at the end of the Mountain Mile mixed use complex. We entered, without a reservation and were greeted warmly. I put my name and phone number in the system and was informed it would be about a 10-15 minute wait. While we were waiting, we walked into the gift shop just to browse around. Next thing we knew they were calling our name. We were led to our table, provided menus and our server came over very quickly. We reviewed the menu with the goal of ordering light and/or sharing. We started with drinks. I ordered a Yuengling, and Wifey chose one of her favorites, a Blue Moon. My oldest daughter ordered a sweet tea, and my youngest was happy to see root beer on the menu. Our server then took our food order. My oldest ordered the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls appetizer. Wifey and I shared the Double Barrel BBQ wings with a side of fries that everyone could snack on. My youngest kept it simple with a side of mac and cheese. While we waited, we enjoyed the holiday music playing in the background, and I took a good scan of the interior. The place was huge and had a lot of good energy. Most of the staff was dressed in festive attire, including ugly sweaters and blinking hats.I noticed a full bar located in the center of the restaurant, along with a connected interior game room for the kids that included many of the usual carnival games. The food arrived quickly, and we all started digging in and sharing. My youngest mentioned the mac and cheese could have used a little more seasoning, but overall, we were very happy with our choices. Our table was directly in front of the kitchen, separated by a floor to ceiling window, which gave us a clear view of all the activity inside. The kitchen, restrooms, and entire interior were very clean. Johnny, our server, was very friendly, took great care of us and even told us about the surrounding area and local attractions. Before heading out, we wandered around the interior and discovered some additional lounge areas. We definitely enjoyed our first visit to Flavortown, and I would recommend it if you find yourself in this area.

    We ate their on 6 /25 / 2025. We started with queso and chips. The queso was very good. My daughter in law had the Chicken bacon ranch sandwich. She loved it. Chicken was tender. My wife had the Ceasar salad with grilled chicken. Chicken was overcooked and underseasoned. Our son had the wings. Wings very tasty. Sauce was tasty. I had the ribs, Mac and Cheese, Cole Slaw. The cole slaw was terrible. It was very warm. It needed some vinegar. The Mac and Cheese was creamy, tender but flavorless. It needed salt. It was served on a piece on bread. Why? The ribs were somewhat tender. Not as tender as I would like. The sauce was decent but the ribs themselves were flavorless. I've had better ribs at Ruby Tuesdays. This restaurant should be called flavorless town. I would not recommend this restaurant to my worst enemy.

    Me and Michael first time duck bowling. Made an online reservation for 8pm-10pm for duck pin bowling and each time you score over 100 you get a little yellow rubber duck souvenir. We just got beer no food. They have more food options outside the bowling area and they have arcade games and a big bar in the middle. We didn't try out any of them besides the duck bowling. It was soooo fun! We will definitely be back

    Great bartender great service and attitude

    Ask the Community - Downtown Flavortown

    Can you eat at the bowling lanes or do you need a separate reservation?

    Yes you can. They have wait staff there. The traditional dining area had a 2 hour wait. So instead we asked if we could eat and bowl since it appeared there was no wait.

    My daughter would like to go here on her birthday she is turning 21 but has a gluten allergy, one, can she order the nachos gluten free and two what other gf options do you have?

    We really didn't see this as a place that children under 21 would enjoy. We also did not see any gluten free options in the menu.

    How much does it cost for 2 PEOPLE to bowl? Surely not $49.95 an hour.

    If I remember correctly it was around $7 a person times the number of hours so 1 hour would be $14

    What is the Arcade cost?

    The arcade is the same as any other one. You put money/ tokens on a card then just go from game to game. There is a string bowling game that is so much per person but other than that just use whatever is on your card

    Do you have to rent bowling shoes?

    No, you do not

    Reservations required or walk in?

    Walk in

    What is the price for bowling?

    49.95 an hour for a lane (up to 6 people per lane) No taxes...so that's about 8 dollars a person for an hour.

The bright colors, the giant golf ball, the candy statues ... it's all very big and bright and sweet. It's candy-candy-candy indoors and out, as the putt-putt courses are candy-themed. There's also a candy store inside, and soft serve, and lots of sweets. It's a candy-lover's dream in here. It's like being in Candy Land, with golf clubs. So, there are two 18-hole golf courses here: one indoor, one outdoor. You can play one or the other, or both for slightly more. I personally liked the outdoor course the best because I like fresh air, but the indoor one is fun too, with dim lighting and fun music playing. As we were leaving, I noticed that there's also a miniature bowling alley here, as well as an escape room. Lots of fun to be had.

The unique theme for the courses definitely made it a whole lot better than the Ripley's Super Fun Zone. The two courses are discounted together and it simply was too hot outside after we went out there for a few minutes and there were a crowd of people waiting. I went in and ask them if we can get a refund for the outdoor course. The staff gave us tokens to use for the bowling alley that was inside instead. The bowling alley was alright. We had to switch to another lane since the pins were not coming all down or it was malfunctioning at times. There was a staff member that checked on it and he decided to temporarily close one of the lanes down when it kept having issues.
