Overpriced food. Nothing a la carte offered. The decor was neat for a Mexican restaurant. Would not go back.

This Floridian tourist and her party of four to Muchacho Alegre tonight on the recommendation of my sister-in-law. She wasn't lying about how good the food is. We started with an order of guacamole, which I forgot to take a picture of, and which was excellent. It was chunky and had just the right amount of cilantro, etc. The 4 entries (pictured below and in order) were Carne Asado, enchiladas, grilled shrimp chimichanga and steak flautas. All four of us enjoyed our meals. The ingredients were fresh and tasty and serving sizes were ample. The prices were very reasonable. I would recommend this Mexican Restaurant to locals and tourists alike.

We were hoping for a restaurant with a dog friendly patio and they welcomed our guy with open arms and offered to bring him water but we brought our own in his bowl. The patio is very festive and the umbrellas made it completely shaded. Our server came right out with chips and salsa. The chips were hot and fresh and very crunchy. She took our drink order. My husband ordered unsweetened tea. It was fresh brewed. We weren't starving so we ordered the Loaded Nachos. They were delicious with jalapeños, cheese, ground beef, refried beans, guacamole and lettuce. We ordered them without sour cream. You can sub the beef for other meats if you prefer. We dug in as soon as they got to the table and I almost forgot to take a picture. We will definitely be back. The meal was delicious and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. They checked on us often. Our server, Sabrina H. was excellent!

a local family recommended it, so we thought we'd give it a shot! We had a big group and our server was super sweet. She brought out a mountain of chips and salsa, which was a great start.We ordered a few different things. The steak and shrimp was... interesting. Instead of the usual skirt steak you find at most Mexican places, it was a really thin, dry piece of grilled meat, and the shrimp were overcooked. And the tortillas? Oof, not great. Seriously, how can a Mexican restaurant have less than stellar tortillas?! We also got the carne asada same dry meat, sadly, no shrimp this time and some tacos. You can only order tacos in sets of three, and they all come with the same filling,no mix and matching allowed. And it wasn't served like a traditional taco dinner,felt a little overpriced for what we got. The steak tacos were skimpy on the meat and over seasoned, almost burnt. The al pastor tacos were better, mostly because of the pineapple the tortillas were still a let down, though! Our server noticed I hadn't touched my tacos and asked if everything was okay. My wife voiced our concerns, and then the manager came over and chatted with us. I told her honestly what we thought, and that I wasn't looking for anything free,just wanted to pay for what we ordered, even if we didn't eat it all. We did, and it's fine, but honestly, I wouldn't exactly call the food "authentic Mexican." Just thought I'd share our experience!

I'm pretty hesitant to return in the near future after today's visit... I had the pleasure of eating here days after the grand opening. I tried the guacamole, taco salad, churros, margaritas and left feeling so impressed by the food and service! Prior to posting a review, I wanted a few more visits under my belt. I've returned twice during lunch and twice during dinner. While service has been just as good as my first visit, the food has been pretty underwhelming during my last three. From the appetizers to my entrees, everything seems to be a bit bland. The guacamole has lost its fresh taste; it's been super cold the last two times, way too heavy on the lime last time but nearly flavorless this time. The meat doesn't seem to be seasoned enough in any of the entrees I've tried. I'm not someone who needs a ton of intricate flavors or seasoning to be impressed, but it seems to be lacking quite a bit in that area. The drinks have been great consistently. I don't find them to be strong, but they are definitely very tasty! My servers are always very attentive and food comes out in a timely manner. Even when I reluctantly provided feedback today, it was received so well! I love supporting the local businesses here and I really do enjoy the staff here, so I'm writing this in hopes that the food quality will return to the way it was when they first got started! I'm hesitant to return with there being so many other good and reliable options in the area, but I think this place has great potential!

I went for dinner tonight and thought this restaurant was a little better than average. I got the quesa-birria tacos. I gave my order to the server and had just asked for water to drink. After you're a few minutes, another server came over and she was taking the place of the original server who was now behind the bar. I had to reorder my food which wasn't a huge deal but I'm not sure why the first server hadn't put the order in. A third person brought my food over then the first server returned to apologize for the delay and ask if everything was ok. The plate was crazy hot, to the point I couldn't touch it to move it closer. The food on the plate was less hot than the plate itself. The refried beans were way too thin, almost runny. The meat in the taco was good and tender but a bit bland. There was an excessive amount of cilantro which overtook the flavor. I also found the consommé and tacos slightly bit greasy. I found the price a bit expensive for the amount food. $23 with tip for 3 tacos, even with beans and rice, and only water, seems high for this type of restaurant. Overall, it wasn't an awful experience and the food was decent. It just wasn't amazing to where I'm craving to go back soon.

The food was amazing but the bartender guy omg he was the worst. Would not stop talking to his waitress girlfriend totally ignoring me & my friend. Got so bad we needed the check & box for over 15 minutes & it took his manager having to tell him to get out of the corner with his girlfriend to help us smh.

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.

Jonathan and I each got a beer flight, and we genuinely enjoyed every beer. My favorites were the lager and the Krush Hazy IPA. When we returned, I ordered the bavette steak, which was a great value and came with delicious green beans and rosemary potatoes. Jonathan got the pork and devoured it so quickly I didn't even get a chance to try it! The cranberry champagne vinaigrette on my side salad was TO DIE FOR - I could eat that with anything. We also shared the hummus and pimento cheese board, which was surprisingly delicious. I'm not usually a pimento cheese gal but this one won me over! The giant pretzel with beer cheese and Dijon mustard was also a hit. The flatbread was a little lackluster but exactly what you'd expect. Great beer, delicious food, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere--Iron Forge Brewing Co. is definitely worth a visit, and we'll absolutely be back.

Sets the mood perfectly. They have parking located directly in front of the brewery and plenty of out door seating if you want to sit outside. I tried samples of the Pom rio and the pineapple mango seltzer, but ended up going with the seltzer. Both were fantastic, and the orange slice in the Pom Rio brought out the natural notes! Our bartenders were awesome and reviewed the beers, other drink selections, and suggestions for menu items (chicken pot pie was highly recommended!). Coming back again, and next time I'm coming hungry!

The burgers are the real star of the show -- cooked perfectly, packed with flavor, and easily some of the best we've had in the area. The quality of the ingredients and the attention to detail really come through in every bite. The atmosphere is awesome too. It has a fun, relaxed vibe that feels different from the typical Pigeon Forge tourist restaurants. It's a place where you can enjoy a great meal, grab a drink, and actually take your time enjoying the experience. Our server was fine, bit unique but extremely friendly and we had no complaints. The menu has plenty of options, but the burgers alone are worth the visit. Whether you're a local or just passing through the Smokies, Junction 35 should be on your list. We came for the food and bourbon on Father's Day and left already talking about coming back. Highly recommend giving their burgers a try -- they absolutely deliver.
