    This place I've been SO EXCITED to try because I'd pass it on the way to work and it was good but not great? I think living in Cali my whole life has definitely set high standards for Mexican food The horchata was very yummy-needed a LITTLE more sweetness BUT I devoured that! So many choices on the menu! I ended up going with the cheese enchiladas which I thought again were good, not great. The texture of the tortilla I thought would be better with corn tortillas? Just thicker and better tasting. Rice and beans were an extra $2.50 to add on.The portions for the meal are big so it's worth the money if you're hungry! They give you complimentary chips and salsa:) The elote (Mexican corn) I think could definitely use Parmesan cheese on top of it because it was really juicy. The waitress was very attentive and polite! So a decent place to eat if you're in Sevierville but not amazing

    Pricey for a mediocre food. Service was not bad. The server checked on us from time to time. Ambiance is inviting and family friendly just a little on the crowded side since they maximize the space with sitting areas. Sorry, but I wouldn't come back for the price for sure. We've had way better Mexican food for an affordable price and memorable meals. The Elotes were good though! Horchata, rice and beans are definitely a thumbs down.

    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.

The loaded tots with cheese, bacon, chives and hot sauce was not too spicy and was big enough to share with four people.

We originally sat a table close to the bowling lanes but moved to the bar to try to get away from the noisy bowling alley. The prices for the food and drinks were pretty reasonable.

    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.

    We came here for my friend's birthday! It was a party of 12 of us and we were seated in a back…read moreroom. We were all seated and greeted and got our initial drink orders. The birthday girl was running a tad late (10mins) we decided to wait for her to order and sort of appetizers. I had a cucumber giblet off of the summer drinks menu. It was very refreshing and I enjoyed it, even though it's made with gin and I'm not the biggest gin fan. The table ordered a few appetizers and split amongst us all. I tried the Brussel sprouts and the fried artichoke hearts. They were both really good but wow, never had fried artichoke hearts and I LOVED those. I ordered the rack of lamb, but replaced the seasoned veggie with the wedge salad, which I had come out first. It was very delicious, but I wish it had a tad more blue cheese/ dressing on it. (It was very good, just a personal preference and the server was no where around to ask for more) I ate it how it was and it was very good. The lamb chops came with a mashed potatoes and I ordered them MR. They were so good! Juicy BUT they were not hot. We got there for a 6:15 reservation. We didn't get our food till close to 8:30. I understand having the food come out all at once, but to have dinner take 2 hours is insane. My food wasn't even hot, but I was so hungry I ate it without even saying anything. It was good but if they knew they needed everything done and something is cooked MR, maybe cook it towards the end. I ordered a 3rd drink but then everyone was done, and getting cleared, and I didn't see the server again. So I decided to go to the bar and cancel the drink myself. Over all, all the food was tasty, the service wasn't HORRIBLE, but they need stronger servers for larger parties and ones that are more attentive. The food was not hot, and we were there for 3 hours for this experience. If I ever go back. It will be alone or with one other person. There is no way I am having a dinner take 3 hours and have my food cold. I know it's standard for large parties, but gratitude was included, so make sure you are aware/ look to see on your check before you decide to leave even more.

    Nice brewery with a good variety of beers and nice staff. They allow dogs on the covered outside…read moreseating, which our dog appreciates. Although we didn't have any pizzia several folks near us said it was great. We had a flight of four and both really liked the blackberry cider. Normally we would not pick a sweet cider but this one deserves taking a four pack home. The place has a great outdoor seating area that's very relaxing. The fans were out so the slight breeze was nice. And a few days later we went back for more Blackberry Cider!

    We have lived here for 5 1/2 years and I've heard great things about Gatlinburg Brewing Company in…read morethe past. Well we decided to finally try it. We walked in and in front of us a big group had just walked in so we stood off to the side. A lay approached and said we could sit anywhere. I asked if they had more rooms or was the area inside and the outdoor area the only rooms they had. She looked at me puzzled and said , "This is it." I was curious but she seemed to take offense to it. We walked out to the patio area and saw two rocking chairs facing the parking lot and thought we would hang there. My sister suggested we go to the bar and order our drinks because it may take too long for a server. We went back inside and I asked her to wait because I had to run to the restroom. I walked in and the seat was up and the toilet was filthy. I went to the sink and there was scum and gunk around the faucet. I wanted to make sure it wasn't water stains so I took a wet paper towel and easily wiped some of the scum off. Disgusting right? Right off the bat that tells me that they are not clean and don't care to be. I have been in their service industry for years and this shows me you do not even clean your bathroom once a night. You have to clean and check your bathrooms more than once or twice a day in the restaurant business. PERIOD Meanwhile my sister had a nasty experience with the same bartender who we found out is the Bar Manager Nariyah apparently. My sister asked her if they could make an Old Fashion to which the lady replied of course. Then my sister asked who made them because she wanted to know how they made them and the lady nastily said she was the only one working so it was her. Well there were two people behind the bar, her and a man. By the time I came out of the bathroom my sister said she ordered her drink but it wasn't drinkable. She said BTW this lady is nasty. I said ask them to make you something else. She cautiously went up and meekly asked the bartender if she could make her something else and the lady replied that she couldn't comp liquor or make her anything without charging her then proceeded to tell my sister she went over the ingredients with her and she still chose to order it. I stood back like wow? My sister said, "you're not nice."She told her we are locals and this was our first visit and we will never be back. I said let's go. Left the drink and walked out.
