I am shocked that this restaurant only has an average 3-star rating. It is a casual, pub-like dining experience, which I love, with outrageously good food and stellar service. After joining the waitlist online before driving to the restaurant, we were seated immediately upon arrival at a high top in the bar area. I enjoyed the chill vibe. Our server was attentive, friendly, and helpful. I ordered the Hawaiian Ribeye. Our server said it was his favorite thing on the menu and I could see why. The steak was cooked perfectly. It was marinated in pineapple ginger sauce and then basted with teriyaki. It was absolutely juicy and delicious. I highly recommend this steak, which rivals the steaks at any of those over-priced steakhouses. The steak came with a salad and I chose the house lemon dressing. I continue to dream about this creamy, slightly salty dressing. They should definitely bottle it and sell it! I chose a baked sweet potato for a side and it was huge and unfortunately not cooked through, but I enjoyed the fully cooked parts. My husband ordered the Killin Me Burger, a full pound of meat with onion straws and thousand Island dressing on a brioche bun. He said it was the best burger he's ever had and my man knows his burgers! The bun was struggling, so my only suggestion is a sturdier bun. A really magnificent meal at a fun place! I've put it on my favorites list. read more

This is a neat restaurant on the main road in Pigeon Forge. I came here with a friend for dinner while we were in town checking out Dollywood. The space is nice and there's a good number of items on the menu. I liked my sandwich! Well made and the bread was nice and crispy. The service wasn't the best, though, as our waitress was super pushy. Also, the silverware all came dirty - and not just stained, we could physically pick food off of the knives. Probably would not return here. read more

My wife and I stopped in at JT Hannah as soon as we got to pigeon forge TN. We were hungary and thought from the outside this place looked ok. We were greeted by a nice hostess and seat almost immediately no reservation. We asked for a window table and it was not problem even though it was still lunchtime on a Friday. It was clean inside and so was the men's restroom. Our server was Ciji. She was great and very attentive. She made very helpful suggestions with conviction. I ordered the country fried steak and my wife ordered the shrimp Alfredo. Our order came out in a few minutes. The food was excellent and full of favor. We will stop in here again on our future visits. read more

We always loved JT Hannah's. We had a rough patch there for some visits a few years ago. I think it was particular individuals who were working there at the time. Anyway, we gave it another try recently because we had always loved it so much. Chloe was our server and she redeemed JT Hannah's for us. We had been looking at the French Dip, but Chloe recommended doing the Philly Cheesesteak instead while deleting the green peppers and substituting jalapeños. Then, order the consummé for dipping. What a delicious idea! The sandwich was EXCELLENT with the consummé and the side of horseradish! The Buffalo Chips were a tasty side. The restaurant is always a fun atmosphere with the rustic decor. You should give JT Hannah's a go! Ask for Chloe! read more

It's been over two years since we've been to JT Hannah's. The last visit was a continuation of the downward spiral we had been noticing. We had given up. We decided on a whim to try it tonight. It was busy... 30-45 minute wait. We waited and watched people enjoying their food. Birthday celebration going on, so there was a lot of happy noisiness. We were seated and Chloe quickly came to our table. We had waters and then decided to order. We told her about our last visit so she started giving us her favorite meal. She substitutes jalapenos for the green peppers in the French dip and adds a side of au jus. Sounded great! We ordered a side of buffalo chips. Chloe KNOWS her food!!! It was excellent! We didn't want it to end. We will definitely give JT Hannah's another try. Here's hoping for consistency! Way t go, Chloe! read more

Don't let the full parking lot or people waiting outside to scare you. Go inside and confirm how much of a wait it is. I'm glad we did as it didn't take long to get seated. This is a restaurant that tries to accomplish a lot and overall is successful. Kids will like the options and adults will like how it tastes. The prices are not bad, either. I had the fish and chips. It was the only time I've seen that dish not be one piece of fish but that's fine. It was good. read more

We went around 5 PM on a Saturday evening and was seated right away! Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. We got the J.T. Hannah's Sampler for an appetizer! It was so much food I should've stopped there! It had cheese quesadillas, loaded potato skins, Buffalo Chips which are potato chips, chips and cheese and onion rings! Yum! For my entree I had the hot hammy Sammy with a side salad! The side salad is a pretty good size salad! The sandwich was delicious! My partner had a cheeseburger with a side of potato salad. He really enjoyed it as well! Big restaurant with nice wooden tables with a big bar area. Gave me the feeling of eating at an old country salon! Loud country music. We will be back! read more

We came here and had no idea why it wasn't more crowded 'cause the food was delicious. So you come in and the place feels like a Cracker Barrel, homey and there are old fashioned things all over the walls. As for the service mmm y'all could do better. Considering it was NOT crowded, we had to wait quite a while for service after we were seated. Me and a friend got the Rocky Top Rachel which was delicious buuuuut it could've used more sauce as there was none in my sandwich and only like a dollop right in the middle of mine. Mostly though y'all were great, keep it up JT! read more

Went later in the evening on a Friday a group of three were at immediately One thing we noticed right away that they were opened after 10 o'clock, which was really good because everything closes early We started off with the spinach, artichoke dip and fried pickles The spinach and artichoke dip is served in a bread bowl and it was delicious and creamy and cheesy one of the best ones we've had so far. The fried pickles were super salty, but crunchy and crispy, which is hard to find. We had a ribeye steak, half rack of ribs with the Fixins. The ribs were decent could've used more sauce. The steak was cooked to perfection. Nice intended, easy to cut through and not too chewy. I believe our server's name was Robyn. She just seemed like she was totally over tourist, but definitely provided a decent service making sure that our drinks were filled in our food was correct. This is a casual restaurant and a super busy area so it could be busy depending on the date and time read more

SO good! This was our first time eating here and we're so glad we decided to give it a try. One of the only places I've ordered chicken parm and haven't had to substitute spaghetti with marinara with Alfredo... it comes that way already. Teriyaki was unique. The flavor was great and overall a great meal. We will definitely go back! Our server was so sweet. The restaurant was quiet and decorated nicely. read more

Table of 3 with no wait. We sat in the bar area. Our food was delicious! Our server was also the bartender & she did an amazing job!!! The rest of the staff was friendly & we will definitely go back read more

Everything was good including the service. I had the Country Fried Chicken and others in my party had sirloin steaks and the ribs.

Tip: Reserve your table online before arriving to reduce wait time during peak hours. Building looks neat from outside, upon entering it's dark, lots of old decor and story props sharing the story of the ice company of JT Hannah. Lots of food options for everyone. I got a french dip sandwich which, honestly was one of the best I've ever had! My husband got a sirloin and was very disappointed with it. Kids got a burger (on the done side) and mac and cheese and both enjoyed them. Honestly, there are SO many restaurant options in Pigeon Forge that this will be a one and done for our family. Parking options all around the establishment. Service was good and we went at a peak dinner time. Bar -21+ area option or main restaurant for family dining. read more

Visiting Pigeon Forge for a little escape and there are so many great food choices, but be prepared to wait! We chose this spot after careful consideration. We did have to wait about an hour but to be expected at dinner time. Hostess' were so friendly and accommodating, considering how slam busy they were. Great menu, rustic vibes, plenty of TVs for the sports lovers. We got the ribeye steaks and loaded potato's. We got chocolate cake to go. Everything was so good!! Alex was so pleasant and knowledgeable. We had a great experience and definitely recommend! read more

Classic Pigeon Forge breakfast--good food, but not quite worth the early wake-up. We got up EARLY to beat the crowds and avoid a long wait at JT Hannah's Kitchen. While I wouldn't say it was totally worth the early alarm, the breakfast itself was solid and felt like part of the classic Pigeon Forge experience. The pancakes were tasty--fluffy and just sweet enough--and the sausage was especially good, with that savory, well-seasoned flavor you hope for in a Southern breakfast. The portions were generous, and everything came out hot and fresh. Service was friendly, and the atmosphere was casual and welcoming. It's not a must-do, but if you're in town and looking for a hearty breakfast to kick off your day, JT Hannah's delivers on comfort food. read more

We've eaten at JT Hannah's on our last several trips to Pigeon Forge over the years. It is consistently one of the best places to enjoy a great steak and good service. The food is always fresh and delicious. They have amazing homemade desserts too. It is still one of our favorites places to eat when we visit. read more

What a fun and enjoyable place. The inside is really unique and provides for a great dining experience. However, they recommend the burger and you can tell. This is a well trained staff and they knew all items on the menu, dietary restrictions and made it an overall great experience. read more

Came here for lunch while in town. Service was ok ; switched to 3 different waitresses and it took longer than expected I ordered the country fried steak and took pictures of the other food ordered by my family. Everyone thought the food was great. read more

Very busy when we arrived, so we had to wait for a bit before being seated. Our server was nice and provided us with extra plates when we asked to eat family style. It was a little loud since a large party with kids was seated near us. We ordered a sampler to start and four other dishes: chicken-fried steak, chicken broccoli Alfredo, catfish (recommended by server), and ribs. The breading of both the catfish and the steak was crispy, but on the saltier side. The ribs were great. The Alfredo was decent. The servings were large and we had leftovers. Overall, a good restaurant for groups. read more

The steak was good and the service was quick. We will be back! The waitstaff was very friendly as well.

We were in the area for 3 days and are here 3 times. With all of the options, that should tell you how much we liked the food. With that being said, had the experience of our last visit happened on our first, we wouldn't have come back. The food was 10/10 for the most part. I did have the cheeseburger and it left a lot to be desired. I'm not sure if it was me or if it was just not good but I didn't love it. We loved the buffalo chips and this is what had us coming back. We had them all 3 times. I also had the chicken Parmesan and the chicken Alfredo-both good. My husband had the country fried steak and got the Sammy's Hammy the other 2 times. What made it so I wouldn't come back? Our serving staff was amazing. We had Jesus the first night and Carlos the second. Our best server though I didn't get her name!! She was in the bar on Friday evening and was super attentive. With that being said, the welcome staff..or front house staff was awful. They were rude, clearly bored and definitely didn't not wasn't to be there. We nearly walked out the last night after I watched one drop the napkin and silverware on the floor, pick it up, roll it back up tight and put it back in the shelf to give to another patron. I was extremely disgusted. I did let a manager know our satisfaction and dissatisfaction at the end of the evening. read more

Classic American food in a super cool old time setting. Service is good and the menu has a lot of choices. Really like this place and it's good for family gatherings. read more

Food was Amazing, it was fresh, came out pretty fast. Price was fair. Service sucked, encountered out waiter 3 times, once when we got our drinks, twice later after our main meal came out, third time for the check. The manager walked by multiple times when my husband and I were at a high top our drinks were empty. We had another service being our appetizer, another being our dinner who was very kind and seen our drinks were empty and refilled them. Like I said food exceptional, but the service was terrible read more

I was surprisingly happy with our decision to go for dinner here We got in the wait list before we left our hotel. Then waiting only about 10 minutes. It was crowded and busy but not crazy. Our waitress was good. She was knowledgeable about the menu and attentive. The ribs were very good as were the sides. I had the steak with a baked potato and I was not disappointed. Cooked well and hot to the table. read more

The atmosphere has a touch of rustic with lots of wood tones. They have a bar area, booths, and tables for seating. The food is delicious and plentiful, as you can see pictured of the bbq sandwich and fries. The staff is friendly and attentive--ensuring an enjoyable experience. read more

This place is not what it use to be. We have been coming to the car shows for years and always eat at JT Hannah's - the food use to be amazing and the atmosphere was great - for some reason every year the food gets worse now. Yesterday we ate there and everything was over cooked and tasted like it was deep fried in the same old oil. We ordered the steak - it was disgusting, the chicken tenders they were burnt to a crisp and had a sampler platter that the entire plate tasted exactly the same - burnt oil taste like really bad bar food. Great location, cool place but it was not busy at all like it use to be and now I know why - the food is just horrible anymore - really a shame because we always looked forward to it but we won't be back after yesterday. Too many other good places to eat to keep going to this place now. read more

Our server was Bobby was wonderful--very friendly and personable! He made us feel very welcome. My husband and I had the ribeye and the chicken-seasoned well so the food was Very tasty. Our friend had a Hawaiian ribeye was marinated to perfection! His girlfriend had the ribeye and it was very good. We would visit again! read more

Short wait to get in - no biggy Service was the friendliest I've experienced (Alex). Also very timely. Not too much or too little with the check ins. Ambiance - very nice setup. Food - the fried cheese app was better than most. Hawaiian boneless chicken breast with rice and broccoli hot the spot. Dessert was some sort of orange soak cake. Amazing. Portions were good. Pricing was fair I will visit again. read more

10/10 for this place!! The fried chicken was the best I have ever had! The mashed potatoes (even without any gravy or extra seasoning) was THE best I have ever had. My family's burgers were right up there as well they said. Would definitely eat here again read more

Amazing!! The steaks were great. My kids liked the potato skins so much they ate two orders. Our waitress, Kerry, was wonderful and made it fun for the kids. We will add this on our list of annual must-do's. 10/10 recommend. read more

Recommended by a local and I was impressed with this place. The food is very good and the menu has plenty of options. Thank you, Charlie, for your kind service to our table. We arrived at the four o'clock hour on a Thursday afternoon because of a sudden rain storm. Plenty of seating and zero wait time. We were seated in the "Ice House" and had it all to ourselves. We saw a bear (haha) in the back in the corner. Came with my parents and we all shared three foods: chili in a bowl with tortillas; strawberry chicken salad; and black bear burger and fries. All items were delicious and devoured. Casual dining experience where you can come dressed however you want. There's a bar in the front near the restrooms and several rooms and eating areas to accommodate a lot of diners. read more

We were seated quickly. The waitress was friendly and provided great service. The problem was the food. Our fries were barely warm. We both had tomato on our sandwiches and they were very hard. Mom ordered a burger medium well and it was charred. Our main complaint was the food temp. We didn't see the point in sending it back. read more

Overall we had a nice family dinner at JT Hannah's kitchen. We were seated almost immediately and Kyle, our server quickly took our drink orders and as he was leaving to put our order, he suggested the spinach dip appetizer. We added that to our order. Kyle returned shortly with our drinks. And then the wait began. After about 20-25 minutes,Kyle noticed our appetizer hadn't arrived and he disappeared to investigate why it was taking so long to get our spinach dip. He finally returned 5-10 minutes later with our appetizer in hand. He apologized and said another table must have gotten our spinach dip. The spinach dip itself was well presented in a sourdough bowl with tortilla chips. We quickly devoured the tasty appetizer and then had to wait another 10-15 minutes for our dinner to arrive. My daughter ordered the kids cheeseburger and fries. Both my wife and I noted the skimpy portion of fries. My wife ordered the Smoky Mountain Cobb salad. Kyle told my wife the house dressing was terrible and recommended she order her favorite dressing. I had the fried chicken dinner. All of our meals were tasty and my fried chicken dinner had two generous portions of chicken. Kyle's service was attentive and courteous. The only reason this isn't a 5 star review is because the amount of time it took to get our appetizer and our dinner. So as long as you aren't in a rush, I recommend JT Hannah's Kitchen. read more

I remember waiting for about 45 minutes for a table, then almost 30 more for a server to come and ask what we wanted to drink/order. We got up and left and we will not be back. I did not get to experience the food, the inside was very pretty, but the service was literally the worst I have ever seen from a restaurant. read more

Food was good- the fried pickles were delicious. Artichoke dip was good, I had never had an orange cheese spinach dip before though, it was ok! Service was great- I can't remember our waitresses name but she was upfront about extra costs/refills, very observant when our drinks were low, and super sweet. Potato salad was just ok- the potatoes were a little too hard. Idk what it is about the ranch down here but that's really good too lol read more
