My husband opted for the porterhouse and I ordered the filet mignon. Both meals came with the hot and cold buffet. The hot buffet had several options, like Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy, baked potatoes with all the fixings, sweet potatoes, green beans, corn, onion rings, etc. The cold buffet had all the traditional salads, toppings, dressings, and some fruit. Our server Joel was friendly and attentive and offered rolls with cinnamon butter for the table. The restaurant is roomy and comfortable and my casual attire was appropriate.

I would just like anyone who loves a good salad bar to check out of this place!... when we go to…read moreGatlinburg, we've tried many different restaurants and we love a fabulous salad bar... we along with many others have always been impressed with the PEDDLER and their salad bar.... Not so much the last time we were there. This place has a fabulous salad bar a lot of very fresh wonderful ingredients... and directly included with the solid bar is a small buffet with some wonderful choices...(the onion rings were wonderful) All four of us chose to do this option although we did look at the menu and they had some great steaks, lobster tails, many wonderful choices!!! We will be back to order off the menu, although I enjoyed the salad bar so much my husband might have to order off the menu and I'll get the salad bar and we'll share!!! I neglected to get a picture, so you'll just have to go in and experience!! The only reason I gave it four stars rather than five is that the booth seating is a little tight, but there were no tables available. The atmosphere is very pleasant, easy to carry a conversations and the decor is old-time, elegant. If you're in Gatlinburg, give it a try!

We had Miss Lillian's for a quick lunch stop using our Harvest Festival pass…read more The BBQ area was just around the corner and easy to find using the Dollywood app, otherwise, it was tucked away and didn't have huge signage. It definitely gave beach shack vibes. My husband chose the corn strips and I had the jalapeño cheddar sausage. Both were really good, especially the corn. I personally don't think the corn was worth using the pass for (and probably not worth $10.99 since you don't get much) but my husband used two of his "credits" on them so it was worth it to him! The food was hot and the sausage roll was really filling. The cashier was really quick and working hard, not only was she taking orders, she was making them as well. Miss Lillian's is a solid choice for lunch!

I was surprised because I had not had any good meals at theme parks, but this place inside Dollywood was very good. (all of Dollywood was amazing) All of the dishes we got were delish: had the mashed potatoes, gravy, fried chicken, black eyed peas, turnip greens (#1 of my most favorites), green beans, fried catfish (#3 of top 3), and sausage (#2 of top 3) Would I go back? Yes

Aunt Granny's was hands down our favorite meal at Dollywood. At around $29 per adult, my toddler…read morewas free; it was a great value for the amount and quality of food. The family-style meal starts by choosing three entrées and four sides for the table. After finishing those, you're welcome to order more from the menu, but we were so full after the first round that we didn't need anything else. We chose the fried chicken, grilled chicken, and catfish, with mac and cheese, mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans, and cornbread. Every single dish was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. That's even includes dessert ! Which was not advertised on the menu so it was a sweet surprise. The service was friendly and efficient, and the food came out hot and quickly. We enjoyed this meal more than any other restaurant we tried in Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge. If you're visiting Dollywood, don't skip Aunt Granny's!

We visited this location for the first time just a few minutes after they opened for the day which…read morewas a Saturday morning! We were seated immediately and our sweet waitress was quick to get our drink orders! Let me tell you everyone, this is hands down one of the best breakfasts I've ever had in Pigeon Forge! My fiancée had the steak and eggs with grits! He absolutely loved it and I tasted the grits! Some of the best I personally have ever had! I had the Forge breakfast (I think) it was 2 eggs cooked my way (over medium, perfectly cooked!) chose of meat I got bacon! Breakfast potatoes and a biscuit and gravy! I also added white toast with no butter for that delicious yolk!!! Everything was delicious! Our waitress was so attentive and friendly! The space is huge and very welcoming for a good home cooked breakfast at home feel! The place still smells like it's brand new!!! We're going to make this a tradition from now on!!!

My family and I will never cross the threshold of this establishment again simply because Sawyers…read morerules are in fact NOT family friendly. I have an 18 month old son that fell asleep in the car ride on the way to Sawyer's. The rest of my family, 5 adults and 1 four year old went ahead inside. Our waitress informed us that sawyers has a "rule" that once we have ordered, my husband would not be able to even come to the table. Whatever I ordered for him would be packed in a to-go box but he couldn't eat it in the restaurant nor at the table. He'd have ti eat it outside. They were NOT busy. Maybe 10 families at best in the restaurant. I called my husband to tell him this ridiculous rule and he said no, I'll stay in the car and he won't eat breakfast and I insisted that wake our son up and he come inside. It wouldn't be fair to him. Meanwhile, the waitress asked her manager if they could make an exception but my husband was already walking in with my 18 month old. I told her if my son starts screaming because he's tired, not one employee by Sawyers better say anything about it. She said that wouldn't be a problem. I even told her that I know it's not her rule or her fault, but this is ridiculous for families to be subjected to this type of rule. The kids menu does not offer any type of waffle and my 4 year old had her heart set on a waffle. I told her they had m&m pancakes ($6.99) and she was sold on m&m's but not the pancakes. The waitress asked my daughter if she wanted a m&m waffle instead and she could get them to put the m&m's on top but they wouldn't be cooked inside the waffle. My 4 year old was so happy, she even gave the waitress a hug. Waitress was great. Fast forward to the bill, the waffle that the waitress offered my daughter... was $9.99+.99¢ for the m&m's. I didn't say a word about it, I was so aggravated at this point with Sawyer's, it wouldn't have done any good. And once again, the waitress is following the rules. Everyone at the table all said it was a mediocre breakfast at best and we all should have went to Mama's Farmhouse for breakfast instead. Sawyers, DO BETTER. You are an eating establishment in a family friendly tourist town. BE FAMILY FRIENDLY. The rule about not being able to allow my husband join us when my cranky baby is catching a quick nap? That's the dumbest thing I have ever heard and quite offensive considering we are paying customers regardless. Now, when people ask me where to go and where to avoid in Pigeon Forge, Sawyer's will be at the top of the list to avoid.

My reviews are based on my opinion and perspective. While I read other reviews to get an idea of…read moreatmosphere ambience I do not let them influence my perspective. In my opinion, the quality of food in the DreamMore and HeartSong resorts as well as Dollywood is well above par and the service is excellent. We've always had great experiences at Dollywood and the resorts. The staff are friendly, kind, and accommodating. The cost of everything at Dollywood is significantly less expensive than what we pay when we go to Disney World, and to be honest, I feel more relaxed at Dollywood. If you've never been to Dollywood, I strongly recommend that you give it a chance. In fact the whole Pigeon Forge area is a great experience and enjoyable time. Plenty of things to do with the family. Our kids love the whole Pigeon Forge area and love the Dollywood resorts. We're considering signing up for their annual memberships and we don't even live in the area.

Dollywood's Dreammore resort offers the pantry as their quick service take out eatery for those who…read morewant to avoid paying the prices at Song and Hearth. Their menu selection is somewhat limited when it comes to breakfast however, they do have a lot of pastries and this is the place to get your cinnamon bread if you wish to avoid getting it in the theme park itself and dealing with lines. The cinnamon bread is baked fresh daily and it can be heating for instant consumption or wrapped in foil for later. It comes with a cup of soft margarine and sells for $12.95 plus tax. The cinnamon bread does sell out quickly so if you want to insure getting a loaf then place an order the day before for the next day and prepay for it. This way you can pick it up at your convenience. The DM pantry has a refrigerated grab and go section complete with sandwiches, salads, fruit cups, breakfast parfaits and of course bottled beverages. Snacks are also available to purchase. The big headliner here is pizza and ice cream. You can order whatever style and size you want of the pizza. They will take your cell phone number and text you when it is ready. Outside the pantry is set up tables and booths to eat at or you can go outside and sit out on one of the rocking chairs on the patio. We ordered pizza twice here during our trip and needless to say it was very good. It should also be noted that they have two microwaves here. Since your room does not provide you with one this is the only place you can microwave your leftovers or anything else you may have that needs heated. Discounts are available if you are a gold pass holder. Located near Pokeberry Lane in Dollywood's Dreammore resort.

For a popular breakfast spot in a tourist center with the words Flapjack and Pancake in their name…read morei dont think it would be unreasonable to expect your pancakes made to order, but they had obviously been sandbagged and were borderline stale. Furthermore my grits were watery and seemed instant. We ordered a basket of biscuits they were crumbly and fell apart before you could butter them. The service was good and we were sat promptly which I guess is the trade off you take for not getting anything that seemed fresh. I would recommend trying one of the other 50 places in town with the word pancake in their name. I heard one has talking chickens

We went during lunch rush but they were definitely ready for it! The building is a bit run down but when you go in it is very clean. They also do takeout by weight (which is great when your grandkid doesn't want to leave their bedroom and have to put their phone down to eat) and it was a great price. You don't get a good buffet at $12.99... we saw the price and were skeptical ourselves until we checked some reviews and gave it a shot. Definitely did NOT disappoint!!!

I've driven by Sakura for years. The lil' missus wanted sushi yesterday. She googled sushi- says…read moreSakura has 4 stars and it's a buffet. Ok let's try it. Parking is tight. 2:30 Sunday afternoon and there is a line. It's dark. It's old. It's cramped. It's packed. Pay as you enter at some booth that looks like a fortune teller would be sitting in it. If the fortune teller was indeed there- they would say you are about to be forever changed. We paid- got seated- and headed to the buffet. Holy guacamole Batman. It's tight and crowded. They had prawns or maybe crawfish- missus loved them. They had shrimp. Fried fish looked rough. They had everything you can find in a Chinese food place. They had miles of noodles, piles of egg rolls and dumplings and spring rolls. They had ice cream and cookies and desserts. They had cakes and puddings and yes- a salad or three. If you got to a buffet and eat a salad- you got issues I can't fix. The final test: missus says she didn't see red jello. It isn't a real buffet without the red jello. I went looking. Yes- three kinds of jello. How did everything taste? Missus liked it all and really liked the potatoes ( why, just, why.) I thought the place was absolutely terrific. Old and a bit tired but the food was so very good. The service from our waits was good. She would say to people "I see you" and smile as she took the empty plates or refilled glasses. We paid $12.99 per person, plus $3 per person for drinks. With tip is was like $38 ish bucks. I can spend that at Freddy's or Burger King for two people. So- if ya haven't been there, try it. If ya have- you hopefully had the same great experience we did. Ive included a photo of the jello, just to prove how authentic Sakura is.
