The manager stopped by at our table to see if everything went well and if we were enjoying our food. (Which we were!!) the grilled Caesar salad was scrumptious, and the kids Mac and cheese was finger licking good! You could tell that the Mac and cheese was house made because it tasted super fresh. The decoration inside was cool and definitely gave sea food vibes. The food came out very quickly as well as desert. I recommend the cheesecake it was velvety goodness. Even though the menu font was a tad hard to read and the key lime pie was more of a cheesecake feel, it's still a no brainer. 5 stars!!!

The older "owner" is defensive (no need) but the younger one actually listens and draws good info. 1. Serve drinks 2. Know "market prices" 3.

Don't bring a bill while people are still eating mains....and don't bring it then ask if anyone wants dessert Fried is easy, best items like the lobster roll and shrimp are great but not fried or cold.

She kinda looked at me for a few seconds and then we turned around to an indoor booth. We both had Seafood Boils which were good but the corn was full of those corn strings and the potatoes were not soft enough. The bibs were cute and we definitely needed them!

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

Don't let the reviews scare you away! If we had listened to some of the reviews on Yelp and Google,…read morewe never would have tried this place--and that would have been a shame because we had a DELICIOUS dinner! We drove by Captain Jim's on the Parkway and immediately knew we wanted to try it. Then we checked the reviews... and honestly, they almost talked us out of it. We decided to take one for the team and give it a try anyway, and we are SO glad we did! As soon as you walk in, you'll definitely get that seafood smell, but it wasn't overpowering at all. If anything, it just made us even hungrier--and that's a good thing when you're walking into an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet! The buffet stayed stocked with hot, fresh food the entire time we were there. There were plenty of choices, including: Crab legs Baked fish Fried fish Two kinds of potatoes Corn Green beans Pot roast Chicken Ribs Fresh salad bar with lots of toppings and dressings Rolls Dessert, which they bring out after your meal and is included with the buffet! The baked cod was SO good. It had a delicious crust, wasn't overcooked, and had that perfect flaky-but-not-dry texture you want from baked fish. The crab legs were overflowing on the buffet the entire time we were there. They were super easy to crack open and incredibly sweet. Definitely a favorite! The mahi-mahi was cooked perfectly, and the fried fish had what I thought was the perfect batter-to-fish ratio--not a giant ball of breading hiding the fish. Our waitress was also wonderful. I believe her name was Sheda. She was warm, welcoming, and took the time to explain everything since it was our first visit. She really helped make our dinner a great experience. The restaurant itself was clean and had plenty of seating inside. I could definitely see the parking lot filling up quickly during busy times, but once inside, there was plenty of room. Overall, we are SO glad we ignored the reviews and tried Captain Jim's for ourselves. Sometimes you just have to make your own experience, and ours was a very good one. The food was hot, the buffet stayed stocked, the seafood was delicious, and the service was friendly. Would we go back? Absolutely! If you're in Pigeon Forge and considering Captain Jim's, I'd say give it a try and decide for yourself. We're glad we did!

Captain Jim's buffet was disappointing overall. The selection looked decent at first, with the…read moreusual seafood-buffet options, sides, and desserts, but too much of the food seemed like it had been sitting under the heat lamps for a while. Several items were lukewarm rather than hot, and the fried seafood had lost its crispness. The seafood itself was average at best and did not taste especially fresh. The buffet area also needed more attention. A few pans ran low and were not replenished quickly, while some serving stations looked messy during the meal. For the price, I expected better food quality, more consistent temperatures, and a fresher rotation of dishes. The staff were polite, and the restaurant has a casual, family-friendly atmosphere, but the buffet did not deliver enough value to justify the cost. With fresher food, cleaner stations, and quicker refills, it could be a much better experience.

We had an AMAZING dining experience and encourage you to experience Seasons 101 for yourself…read more We made a reservation online for a party of 4 and dined there on Sunday, Memorial Day weekend. We were greeted and seated promptly in a lovely little alcove near their patio, the perfect spot for old friends catching up. Our server, Olivia, was phenomenal, offering insight and recommendations into their seasonal menu items. We started with cocktails and appetizers. We loved the Roasted Beet Salad and Crab Bisque. Deee-licious! We then moved on to our entrees: Filet mignon (prepared Medium) w/caramelized onions & garlic mashed potatoes. The filets were seasoned and cooked perfectly - melt in your mouth, oh soooo good! Prime rib steak sandwich with caramelized onions & melt cheese. Opted for a side of grilled zucchini instead of fries. Also a big hit with our friend. I chose the night's feature dish of halibut and couscous. Nicely prepared and delicious. Though we didn't have room for dessert, once Olivia brought the dessert tray by, we quickly made room! My husband chose the Blueberry Bread Pudding. Of course I had to taste! I'm typically am not a fan of bread puddings due to being heavy and somewhat gummy! This one was absolutely light, and yummy allowing the blueberries to shine. Our friends shared the NY cheesecake with fresh strawberries. Also, light, fluffy and delicious! I chose the key lime pie with toasted coconut sprinkled on top. Incredibly good with light tartness though I prefer more tart. Still, it ranks up there as one of the best I've found. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the cocktails, food, ambiance, decor, and our server, Olivia. Ample portions, reasonable/comparable pricing, and delicious/creative menu. Bravo, Seasons 101! Bravo!! P.S. They also have a lovely outdoor dining area, if you so desire.

Too many blunders for a restaurant that charges as much as it does…read more I was on Yelp and saw the photos of gorgeous looking plates. Decorated so nicely. Went and placed a reservation. We showed up for our 6:30 reservation at 6:20 and there was no hostess at the station and no one would greet us. Took roughly 5 minutes of standing there and one waitress acknowledged us and said someone would be there shortly. Waited roughly 10 mins and was greeted by what I assume was the manager. We told her of our reservation and she had to think about it and seemed like she wasn't prepared for us as she looked over at the dining tables and scanned them over, then said something along the lines of should be all set. Considering the reservation reminds you a few times before you go to make sure you make your reservation, I expected it to be more welcoming. The restaurant was very nicely decorated. Definitely oozed a classy ambiance, so I was pretty excited from seeing that and the online photos of the food. We ordered drinks and a Fig and Pear Burrata appetizer as it was one of the many few items on the menu that was gluten-free for my SO. We made it a point to tell the waitress she has celiac. She was nice and said we could get the pita and a toasted gluten-free roll on the side. They brought over some pita bread and a whipped hummus spread. My SO asked if they had anything with her without gluten, but they said no. She was kind of bummed. When they brought the appetizer to us, they gave her the roll on a plate. It was cut up kind of nicely and the burrata with more pita bread lined around it. We mentioned that was a no-go and they brought it back to the kitchen and said the chef was having an off day. I got my drink, it was an old fashioned with pecan bourbon and cocoa nibs. It was very nice. For the app, I was underwhelmed by the flavors in the fig and pear burrata. I felt it was lacking either sweet or salty. It wasn't bad by any means, but it wasn't anything special. For my meal, I ordered the Hunter's platter. It has Elk Tenderloins, Duck and a rack of Lamb. The duck was dry as a bone and the fat was firm compared to other places I've been to. The Elk was nice and juicy. Probably the highlight of the dish. The lamb was cooked pretty well, but I found it was difficult to get off the bone. The prosciutto infused sauce was ok. It was mostly like gravy. My palate kept getting attacked by random horseradish that was in the potatoes which I wasn't expecting. At one point, I ate my cherry from my old-fashioned while I had a bite of the lamb and it was nice. I could see maybe a cherry or cranberry glaze or bordelaise reduction going well with the dish. The desserts looked good, but I was all pita'd out from the earlier dishes. For what we paid, I wasn't too impressed. Compared to other restaurants in this area, it was good, but I can't say it registered from places I've been at home.
