Stopping here has become a family tradition. The store is a quaint shop nestled against a hillside…read morein Pigeon Forge, I believe it's right across the main drag from the Old Mill Restaurant. If you like taffy, they have a huge assortment of taffy that is made onsite. You can also watch them making taffy, which is pretty neat. I'm more of a chocolate fan, so I go for the chocolate counter. I'm not crazy about the fudge, but the peanut butter cups, chocolate raspberry cremes, and other chocolates are awesome. The workers are friendly and helpful. If you happen to be there while they are making taffy, they will interact with you and explain what they are doing. There is also a gift shop upstairs, but I've never gone up there to look around. Sadly, I just finished the last of my chocolate today. Can't wait to return next year!

I enjoyed our time. Every kind of candy you can imagine. I was expecting more old timey candy, and…read morethey do have it, but much of the store is modern candy. Just about anything you can imagine: you can put it in bags and buy per the pound. They also have those tubes/straws you can fill with colored sugar and similar candies. Other options are popcorn with multiple flavors, like BBQ bacon and "Chicago style" (caramel corn and cheddar corn mixed together), and gelato, which was very good. As with all the Island, expect very elevated prices, but the staff were very friendly to me and my party. I enjoyed my visit.

Well beside by an ice cream souvenir dish $12 and get a mini sundae. It was well lighted, and okay on candy choices, it was like $19.98 a pound of candy (self serve) , the staff was not friendly. So over all experience, we keep looking for a candy shop we want to return to in town.

This place isn't what it used to be. No homemade ice cream. No chocolate covered strawberries…read more Jelly Bellies (primary reason we went) were $19.99 per pound! I can get them on the Jelly Belly website for less than half that! The one thing good I have to say is that their pralines are the kind I like most (really buttery tasting and dry/crumbly rather than sticky/chewy). But it was nearly $30 for 6 pralines and one small candy package for my kids. Communication was also difficult as the people there struggled with English and they didn't seem very friendly. We didn't buy any Jelly Bellies and left disappointed. I'm so sad because this used to be our favorite candy place in Pigeon Forge. Also, the prepackaged Jelly Bellies were $6.99 and we found them at the candy shop inside Dollywood for $3.99. Never imagined a shop inside a theme park would be so much cheaper than a standalone shop. It's like they don't want to sell anything.

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the playful swirl of peppermint signage and a rainbow of treats inside. The Taffy Town display alone is a showstopper--rows upon rows of saltwater taffy in every flavor imaginable, from banana and watermelon to bubblegum and birthday cake. It's pure eye candy... that you can eat! The store is spacious, clean, and wonderfully organized, making it easy (and tempting) to fill a bag with favorites. They've got classics, novelties, oversized lollipops, and even bulk bins for the true candy connoisseur. Plus, it's family-friendly and full of fun photo ops for the kids. We had an absolute blast here--it's the kind of place that brings out your inner child. Highly recommend a visit if you're at The Island in Pigeon Forge. Pro tip: grab a variety of taffy. You won't regret it!

We came for a late lunch around 2 on the weekend after Christmas, it was surprisingly not busy & we walked in. Our server Chris was on top of his game & patient with our party of 5 & while we browsed the menu for a bit brought out the complimentary apple fritters & juice as soon as we were seated & was really kind enduring my FILs joking during the meal with a smile & quip here or there. I had the bbq chicken wings which is not something I'd usually go for but they looked good & they really were. They were big & had a nice crunch & they sauced them WELL. Fries were solid also. My mother in law is a lady fond of few dishes & one of them is chicken salad. She gave the one here high praise. She also really enjoyed the birds in the case in the dining room. If you've got a large group or picky northerners I think you could do a lot worse than coming here.
