We arrived with a party of 13, which can be a challenge for any restaurant, but they handled our group wonderfully. Our food came out fresh, warm, and extremely tasty. Everything had that homemade, comfort-food quality you hope to find when visiting Tennessee. Our service was provided by Rob, who did a great job taking care of our large group and making sure everyone had what they needed. The decor is an experience all by itself. It's warm and welcoming, yet mesmerizing when you take in the size of the restaurant and all the incredible details throughout. It really adds to the whole Southern farmhouse experience. If you're visiting Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, Five Oaks Farm Kitchen should definitely be on your list. Great food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommended!!

They literally have every fast food and chain dining experience on one block, but I didn't know that at the time but I'm tired of road trip Food so wanted to sit down for a good meal! Pulling into the parking lot and I was overwhelmed because it was huge and very crowded! We go to the desk and they tell us 25 minutes. This place was huge and very accommodating, they were getting people to their tables fast! We noticed two empty seats at the bar, so we opted to take them and had the pleasure of being served by Robert. He was attentive, made sure our waters were always full. He gave recommendations on his favorite dishes and was all around a great bartender! The guy working the other end of the bar was equally as professional. The ambience is a dark cool vibe, little trendy but people were dressed pretty casually! Answer the most important thing...The food! For an app, we got the beer, cheese fondue that came with apples, bread and pretzels. The beer cheese had a little bit of ooomph to it, which was refreshing because usually I'm not a big mustard person. The pretzel bites were incredible crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The apples were fresh all around the appetizer for 3 to 4 people so we took extra home. I ordered the 10 ounce sirloin cooked, medium with the web sweet potatoes and a side Caesar salad for a three dollar charge which ended up being a full-size salad! It was super fresh and gigantic for a side salad. The steak was cooked perfectly, in the middle with an insane sear. Their house, butter that they put on it truly elevated the flavor profile. I tried the sweet potatoes mashed and they were enjoyable, but I do not enjoy a sweet side with my food so I knew I was going to donate them to my husband and he said they were incredible, the flavor was definitely there just not my cup of tea, but I knew that from the beginning . He got the Caesar salad with grilled chicken! It had so much flavor and tastes incredible but yet melted in your mouth it was the most tender chicken I've ever had in my life, and the flavor was all there! Not even the slightest bit of any kind of dryness. One of the best bites of chicken I've ever had.! He ordered the bison meatloaf to go, and that comes with caramelized mashed potatoes and fried onion straws.... It smells incredible and I will update when we try it . * UPDATE: best meatloaf ever!!! Based on the quality/ experience on a very busy night- everything was phenomenal and I will return. Service 10/5 Food 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Value 5/5

My absolute favorite is the strawberry jelly. It was SO good that I had to bring some home--and yes, they sell it by the jar! From the delicious Southern food to the family-style serving and that amazing strawberry jelly, Mama's Farmhouse was definitely one of our favorite meals of the trip.

Family style dining means diners order for the table, so it is perfect for families and couples. As a solo diner, I treated my self to The Albany (choose 2 entrees and 3 sides) and the portions were downsized perfectly. Starting with the buttered bacon topped cheddar biscuits, it was satisfying enough to be my meal alone. They are scrumptious too! I chose the Southern Meatloaf and Bourbon Glazed Chicken (with rice) as the entree's and for the sides, mashed taters, cole slaw, and green beans. Everything was delicious (so much so, I bought a couple of jars of the bourbon sauce to take home) and I so wished I could have taken leftovers for later but at The Kitchen, doggie bags are not an option. My server, Amber, seemed to be having an off day and it happens. Service was a little slow with placing my lunch order and getting beverage refills. Truly recommend the sweet peach tea...it is a wonderful bottomless beverage. Don't forget to make time to stroll thru the store before heading out. So many cute, color coordinated kitchen supplies available for purchase! Another place where the goodies make great gifts.

I ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes appetizer only to have it delivered with batter so thick you could not find the tomato, and the batter had a fishy taste like the grease had also been used for frying fish. They were just not edible. When the waitress came to ask us how we enjoyed them, I told her there was too much batter and the grease tasted fishy. She didn't say a word, turned and walked away. You could tell her "How was it?" Inquiry was automatic and not a genuine concern for how the customers were enjoying the meal. It didn't get better. My grilled pork chops were tough, overcooked, and lacking any flavor. I could only eat one of the two provided. The pinto beans lacked any seasoning, but the coke slaw was good. My wife's pork chop was fried, and was better. It was cooked as it should have been. But her Mac and cheese was gummy and had an odd flavor. The cornbread was dry and not good. A friend who ate with us had Country Fried Steak. He said the steak was passable, but the gravy was disappointing. No onions at all in the gravy. This was not a good eating experience, and with the waitress's attitude, it was an almost a total flop. The sign at the entrance tells it all.

It's a good size place, and with that comes a LOT of internal noise. My sister and I had a hard time having normal conversation. We had a great waitress, friendly and smiling. She also made sure we got whatever we needed. They stay you with a bunch of free starters, yummy coleslaw, pinto beans, and hush puppies, but themselves enough for a meal! The food was...smeh. I got what was supposed to be fried catfish, but arrived baked - and greasy. I ended up sending it back. It was a fun place to visit, but I didn't feel the quality of the food, and the volume of the place works make it worth a return trip. I should also note - the staff, from waitress, to the busses deserve kudos, they kept that place moving!

We have…read moredined at many high-end establishments, and The Appalachian does such a great job of delivering exceptional food and service without the pretentiousness that can sometimes come with it. Our chef for the evening, Derek, was a wealth of information. He could tell us where everything on our plates came from, from memory. The chefs at this restaurant are THAT attuned to the ingredients they're working with. He even described what made the wines work with the food and admitted he wasn't always a wine pairing believer, but has quickly become one. Our server, Amanda, was sweet, pleasant, and incredibly accommodating. This girl noticed me lifting my hair off my neck (those open woodfire grills add an extra level of heat to the kitchen) and brought me a hand fan FROM HER PURSE. That caused one of the kitchen team to notice and bring me an electric fan. Like I said, stellar service. Even the general manager, Dan, was involved in our service that evening. It truly felt like the entire team was paying attention and genuinely wanted us to have a wonderful experience. Would I recommend the restaurant? 100%. Would I recommend the Chef's Table experience? 1,000%. Being in the kitchen, watching the team operate like a well-oiled machine, and getting dishes that aren't on the menu (I'm looking at you, tuna tartare), made it well worth it. We will probably do it again in a different season to see how the menu changes. @serenity_now_travel_concierge

From ensuring they source fresh, seasonal ingredients to creating a welcoming atmosphere, it's obvious that everything is done with passion and attention to detail.

We had the fried chicken skins, the à la carte ribeye and sirloin, mashed potatoes, broccolini, and summer squash, and then the cobbler for dessert. The drinks were strong pours, everything was seasoned perfectly, and the service was impeccable. Another night, we came in for drinks and dessert and had the goat cheese cheesecake and Pots de Crème. If you're looking for a restaurant that's the perfect combination of great food and great vibes, this is absolutely it.

I would describe it was served as a 'wet' BBQ and not as dry, but that is my personal preference. Fries, baked beans and fried jalapeño cornbread are always a great addition. To me, a great BBQ does not need any sauce, so I really didn't try them, but I'm sure they are good. Baked beans were typical. It wasn't as good this time as before, but that will not prohibit us from visiting again next time we are in the area.
