Honestly, I couldn't really put into words how I felt about this and then I read Nicole S. from…read moreIndiana's review and she nailed it. So, at the risk of being repetitive I will tl;dr it for you: you have to decide to go all-in on this experience. We did just that on our rowdy Friday night recently. When in Pigeon Forge--honestly, one of the weirder places in the known universe--you absolutely go all-in and check out a thing called Dolly Parton's stampede. You buy your tickets, you whoop, you holler, you go hands-on into the food. You just go for it. If you do not go for it, it will be one of the weirder things you do. I really liked the food, actually. They served you a cream soup, biscuit, and a whole dang chicken (though it's a little one) alongside pulled pork and some mashed potatoes sans gravy. The show is what really requires the all-in because what did I just watch? The riders are incredibly skilled and the emcee had a great voice (we needed more singing, please, this is a Dolly branded show) but there were some awkward moments like the weird attempts at comedy by the Skeeter character and then the butterfly number which just... didn't land. It's a challenge to eat a hands-on meal while also trying to pay attention to a show, but do your best. But my only real complaint on the whole night really was the service. Those poor servers are actively trying to take away from the experience. It feels like they are being timed and if they don't throw your food down fast enough and in the most unhelpful way possible then they get whipped by a cowboy backstage later. Go. And go all-in. When in Pigeon Forge, be the most Pigeon Forge you can be. And this is the MOST Pigeon Forge Experience we had.

The creamy vegetable soup with the biscuit was FIRE. And I mean that respectfully because I…read moregenuinely cannot stop thinking about this soup. It was incredibly creamy and flavorful, and the biscuit was flaky, buttery, and delicious. Dipping that biscuit into the soup? Absolutely elite. I could've happily eaten a whole bowl of that and called it a day. The chicken was extremely well seasoned and honestly just perfect. The smashed potatoes were pretty good too. We also got the pulled pork, which was delicious, but by the time it made its grand entrance, I was already stuffed. They bring each item out one at a time, so by the time the pulled pork and corn arrived, I had completely forgotten I was supposed to be eating more food. I barely touched the corn because my stomach had officially clocked out. And then there was dessert. Yes, somehow there was STILL dessert. I had to force myself to make room for at least a little because apparently the meal had no intention of ending. I chose the apple pie, while my boyfriend got the chocolate coconut one. I tried his, obviously, and both were equally delicious. At that point, I was eating purely out of obligation and determination. The show itself was so entertaining! There was plenty of action, humor, and some healthy, fun competition. I especially loved how much crowd interaction there was because it made the whole experience feel much more immersive and fun. Overall, the food was delicious, the show was entertaining, and I left completely stuffed. But honestly, I'm STILL thinking about that vegetable soup. Kudos to the chef because that soup really stole the show for me.

First time my husband and I saw the show. Loved it. Will go back. We laughed all night!!read more

Tim Gentry Sr. · I…read morehave carried my family to the Comedy Barn for at least 20 years but I was very disappointed last week when I went. The show that was family oriented is not family oriented anymore. They have started serving alcoholic beverages. I did not like the fact that I am sitting there and someone will come in and sit next to you drinking a beer. It is not the wholesome atmosphere that it once was not the atmosphere that I want my family in. I have groups in our church go there on a trip but not anymore. I talked to the manager about this and he listened to me but at the end of the conversation he told me that they were going to keep it there. I called the corporate office and talked to a lady there who told me that I was the only one who had called about this and said she hated that she would lose my business and the church groups but unless they got a lot of calls they would keep it. So if that is not the atmosphere and environment you and your family wants to be in plese call them and let them know. Let's let -our voices be heard and get the show back to being a family oriented atmosphere. Call 865-453-9473 and ask for the corporate office.

Ticketing and getting in:…read more Starting with the very unorganized lines to get in at 4 o'clock. They really need to have some sort of indoor waiting area so that is older people don't have to bake in the sun for an hour before we get in to wait again in the lobby before actually sitting down for the show. The food: The vegetable soup was the consistency of Cambells cream of chicken with chinks of veggies. Not bad at all. The drinks are Coke products and Sweat tea, I had the sweat tea and it was the bomb. The dinner rolls were warm and fluffy. The fried chicken was juicy and flavorful with the perfect amount of nt of seasoning. The mashed potatoes are fresh but would have been awesome with a side of gravy or butter. Pork BBQ was a nice change, not to saucy and had a taste of smokiness to it. The corn on the cob was flavorless and overcooked. I loved the cole slaw and the sweat tea the most. The show: The production was a new storyline that was Halloween based and was a great show. The production was lighthearted and family friendly with water, smoke, and even some fireworks. Nice show

I started weeks before trying to call and leaving messages. Never got hold of anyone or return call. Walking in it is drab and showing its years. Clean but dingy. I had been here about 20 yrs before and the place would be packed. 3 days before the performance I was able to get front row center seats for the 2 of us. That should have told me something. That and the fact when the show started, only the first 2 rows had anyone in them. The Elvis music came on, I was excited, and out walked a short dumpy male with a cheap toupee and glued on sideburns with black eyebrow liner. Non looked professional. He didn't sound like Elvis and couldn't move like Elvis. I'm a nurse and once thought he was going into a seizure, I was concerned! He went down on one knee in front of us and almost fell off the stage! Near the end he started talking about the blues brothers coming back and told us we had been watching one of them. He continued to brag about being one of the blues brothers, my granddaughter yelled out that it explains it, we knew we weren't watching Elvis. We wasted over $90 for this show! He went on talking about how tired he was and couldn't do as well because he spent the day touring a college campus and how much they had walked that day. And how he wasn't the normal Elvis!! He sang what he said was one of his favorite songs. I expected an Elvis song but he started talking about Olivia Newton John and sang one of her songs!! Run, don't walk, far away from this show!!

The show did not disappoint it was entertaining, the talent was outstanding, and the price was on point.

The venue is large but not too large, and they actually have some pretty decent concerts lined up at the same time. Check them out you won't be disappointed.
