Good-not great. Cool place with good service. Food was good but not over the moon great. I am a bit of a dumpling and fried okra snob. Restaurant was crowded and loud. Would go there again if others wanted to but it wouldn't be my first choice. read more

Old Mill Restaurant - Pot pie, potatoes and green beans - American Near Me - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

The food was average at best and EXTREMELY overpriced in my opinion. It was $24.99 per meal and an additional $15 if you wanted to share a plate. Food was bland and portions were small. Would not recommend. read more

Wait time was about 1:30 for a party of 8 at around 6:00PM, which was expected for a meal around that time. The food was excellent all the corn chowder and hush puppies were amazing. All the meals our table got were very well prepared and everybody left with full stomach! The server that we had seemed to be in a crabby mood and kind of killed the vibe, considering tables next to us there servers were bubbly and full of energy. But everybody has those days. Overall great meal out. read more

Went to the Old Mill Restaurant again and it was so good! Food and service was spectacular! Our server was very attentive and helpful! I had the Baked "City" ham. Usually the entrees come with mashed potatoes and green beans but I'm just not a huge mashed potatoes fan. Our server let me switch it out to Mac and Cheese and glazed carrots. The Mac and cheese was delicious and the carrots were really just plain carrots. My partner got chicken fried steak. He enjoyed it because he ate it all! I just love the country feel of the restaurant and it overlooks the Little Pigeon River. It is a must try when you're in Pigeon Forge! read more

Old Mill Restaurant - Double-crested Cormorant. - American Near Me - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

What an incredible place this is. First of all, don't let the wait scare you away! You can stop in to the general store nearby while you wait and get a bag of duck food for $1 and feed the ducks and geese on property. It's all so beautifully decorated and time just flew by. This place operates like a well oiled machine. The servers provided fast and friendly service. The food is amazing! Fried chicken was flavorful and crisp. Mashed potatoes were so creamy and light! Absolutely loved starting off with the corn fritters and corn chowder as well. Also, it was definitely the biggest bang for our buck restaurant since we've been in town. Always a plus! We can't wait to return! read more

We enjoyed this meal. The place itself is very fun and old and has neat things to look at. It's busy! And huge! And a bit loud. The waiter was helpful and very friendly - talked a lot but that's ok! The soup they give you with most meals is yummy. The dishes are sizable and many could be shared. The fruit platter is huge! I'd go back! Check out the store Nextdoor for many of the mixes they use at the restaurant. We got a chicken breading and waffle mix which have been delicious. read more

Derrick was awesome! He recognized that we were celebrating our anniversary so he got us seated a lot quicker than 45 minutes. Kuddos to him! Our server was great but overwhelmed. The food was awesome like always. The ambience is what it is. Nasty folks will be nasty - coughing, sneezing amd being loud! That is not the restaurant's fault. read more

A bit too commercial and get you in and out quickly for me. Food was decent and plentiful, but nothing I would return there for. 6/10 overall read more

Well we've now been here 4 times this week and the food and especially the grits just keep getting better and better. We will surely miss this place when we ahead back to Cincinnati. read more

The place was aceptanally clean. wait to get in took around 15 minutes. (very reasonable). I would come back and vacationing here in pigeon forge, this is a must. read more

10/10 restaurant and legend has it that the waiter Sehmas will give you extra corn chowder

We meant to try the cafe but ended up here. There seems to always be a line here since it's a popular spot. You have to walk past all the people lined up waiting on ramp to go up and get your name on waitlist. The staff advised wait would be 45 minutes and he was dead on. Once our name was called we were seated in an upper section and served by Brett. He did an excellent job attending to our needs and questions. Glad we had such an attentive and helpful server. The restaurant is louder due to the amount of people, but that didn't interfere with our ability to talk and enjoy ourselves. The food is pretty good. The fried chicken wasn't seasoned so I wish I had brought my own. Besides that it's a great value and tasty meal. The desserts were very tasty and I love that it's included with your meal for dinner. We set near the windows so we were able to see the ducks down below waddling around. It was a nice view. read more

Old Mill Restaurant - Fried chicken with mashed potatoes and geeen beans - American Near Me - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

This restaurant is one of several buildings. Entering the restaurant feels a bit like going through the queue at Disneyland. We arrived around 5p on a Wednesday evening and the restaurant still had availability. They are very efficient with their process of seating, placing orders, serving and payment). We ordered off of the Southern Fried portion of the menu and asked for the chicken fried steak and the chicken fried chicken. Both came with a corn chowder, side salad, and a basket of corn fritters and biscuits with honey butter to share along with mashed potatoes and green beans followed by a dessert choice. All was great. After hearing other servers with their tables, I realized that our server was providing a bare minimum not giving us all of the options unless we asked. Overall, it was a good place to fill up with good food. Almost everyone left with a to go box, which shows how big the portions are. P.S. Alcoholic beverages are not served here. read more

Food and service was excellent and the atmosphere made you feel at home. The waiter we had was top shelf. He recommended the chicken pot pie and it was the best I've had in a long time. Great place for the family to dine. read more

Go to spot in Gatlinburg. Everything on the menu is great. Service is great, at home feel meal. Definitely recommend!

Five stars for service and for the food. Catfish, large portion and you can substitute the sides. The country fried steak was a huge hit with my husband. My youngest child really enjoyed the chicken and dumplings, barely touched her sides the portion was perfect. Also...those corn fritters and that maple butter...delicious. Could have eaten every one of them. Our server was Johnny and he was delightful. Oh and one last thing...Saweeet Tea! read more

We went between lunch and dinner. They quoted a 40 min wait but we were seated in 15 min, so that was great. Gary our waiter was attentive and able to answer questions. It is A LOT of food. Skip the ribeye (under seasoned) but the cook temp was perfect. Green beans were good. Side salad was fresh. The star of the dinner was my huge chicken salad and fruit plate. The corn fritters and biscuits are tasty, and the corn chowder was good if that's your thing. So much food we took our dessert to go, and haven't tried it yet. read more

Old Mill Restaurant - Fresh fruit plate with homemade chicken salad. Excellent! - American Near Me - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

Ambiance and service - great. The kitsch is fun. The food was, at best, mediocre. I tried the full breakfast. Biscuits were good, pancakes very thin, not at all fluffy. Grits and gravy -- so so. Honestly, the best thing on my plate was the orange slice. I could have done with a few more of those. read more

One of my favorite meals in Pigeon Forge - the portion sizes are HUGE too. I was shocked when the server told me that I got refills on my chicken and dumplings, as well as on the green beans and mashed potatoes. The corn fritters with honey butter literally tasted like donuts - beyond delicious. Every meal also comes with dessert; I chose peach cobbler. The sheer amount of food you get for $25 could feed a family. The overall environment is cozy and rustic, but clean - the bathrooms were pristine. Love that there are plenty of shops and activities around too. This is an awesome spot for a filling, home-styled meal! read more

One of, if not the best restaurant in Pigeon Forge! Everything was perfect. Delicious food and great service!

What a great place packed with history. I hear there will almost always be a bit of a wait. Southern cooking at its finest to many of the locals. Pure of heart and loyal to Pigeon Forge's most known restaurant. Of course, I had to give them a try. Gatlinburg is only about 15 mins away. They provide you with biscuits and fried corn fritters. Already a hell, yeah! I chose the 10 oz steak cooked medium rare with fries and green beans. The meal I ordered comes with their famous corn chowder and a side salad with honey mustard. Their corn chowder and corn fritters are awesome! The sweet butter that comes with it.. chefs kiss! The 10oz steak was cooked well. However, nothing special about the flavor or value of the steak. The steak was not very tender and had that rubbery texture. Pretty bland flavor but made it work with A1. Altogether, I loved the ambiance and vibe of this southern styled restaurant that packs so much history and great cooking. I can tell the food is solid, but the steak was not their strongest dish. I enjoyed my visit and recommend coming here for an authentic southern cuisine! read more

Unbelievable experience. The food blew away my expectations! Absolutely amazing. Hands-down the best grits I've ever had in my life, but everything was exceptional. And our waiter, Derame, turned his job into an art form! The best service I have ever experienced! read more

Love the ambiance here- very welcoming and homey, yet very busy. Good is really good and large portions! Entrees (I got the pork chops with mashed potatoes) come with a soup, salad, and hush puppies. Dessert is also included and made in house. Be ready to be very full! Chris was my server and was on top of it with multiple tables with large parties. Overall, the service, food and location was wonderful! read more

The Old Mill Restaurant is a true Pigeon Forge staple. The food tastes homemade in the best way especially the fried chicken, country ham, and fresh-baked bread that comes out warm. Portions are huge, the service is friendly, and the river view adds to the charm. It feels like classic Southern comfort done right, every single visit. read more

You can't visit this area without stopping at the Old Mill. This review is for the restaurant. Food is amazing, service is amazing, ambience is amazing.

Food too salty(Ham), chowder soup too thick, green peas overcooked. Bread was yummy Service was fast and good, our server was Yulia, she was great and friendly. The "famous southern style chicken" tastes the same as the chicken from Publix. read more

What a great rustic place. The line is crazy long, that said they have the area wired with a speaker system so you can wander the shops while you wait. Wait staff super friendly!!! Food, amazing. I had the fried chicken breasts and they were the juiciest chicken breasts I've had. Mashed potatoes were real, wished I would have had gravy for them, not sure if that is an option. Grits were meh, I'm not a grits fan but thought I should try them. read more

Our party of 10 all enjoyed their meals. Their barbecue sauce was one of the best I've had and was liked by many on our party

I have to say this used to be our to go spot when in Gatlinburg. I have been going to the Old Mill for a long time and never experienced this kind of chaos! The former post that stated "rush in, rush out" is absolutely how I felt the day we went! Also the waiter was horrible and was very unattentively, no drink refills, no checking to see if the food was good and it wasn't! I ordered chicken fried chicken and what I received was chicken fried chicken tenders. The waiter didn't come back immediately to check to make sure the order was right, so I started to eat the tenders and they were awful! Desert was so so, not worth the $100+ I paid and we will not be returning. read more

This is a must go to restaurant every time we're in pigeon forge. Great Food , atmosphere, and service. Highly recommend

Amazing pancakes and service! I do Vlogs on YouTube TikTok IG Facebook The Gatlinburg Hussey and I highly recommend going here

The 1.5 hour wait was worth it and once seated we had food within 10 minutes. While waiting we roamed the other Old Mill stores where you could hear names being called for seating which was nice. Our server was Kelsey and she was wonderful and very attentive! The rainbow trout was delicious both broiled and fried. The soup came out piping hot. The corn fritters were light and airy and the maple butter pairing was like having corn cakes with maple syrup. I highly recommend stopping to experience Old Mill. read more

For food I got the chicken tender basket and it was delicious! I also got the chocolate cake and it was almost as good as my grandmas. Our waiter was amazing and she gave us one of the best services that we have had in a long time. Almost every 10 minutes she came and refiled our drinks. The overall experience and atmosphere was very nice and it reminded my of a wood lodge. I highly recommend the Old Mill Restaurant. read more

Excellent meal, Excellent service! This place was busy and packed but they are moving people through quickly without rushing them. Our server, Wesley, was incredibly polite and attentive, and he had a great personality when interacting with the family. read more

We didn't have to wait for a table so that was great. Our waitress wasn't busy with a ton of other tables yet we had to constantly ask her to refills on our drinks. The food was acceptable, but for the price it wasn't anything to be impressed with. The "fruit plate" had a lot of fruit that was spoiling even though the fruit was in season. We won't recommend this place the ambiance was similar to old Cracker Barrel though so there is that. read more

We stopped in with a large group (about 40 of us). * The service was very friendly! * It didn't take very long for the food to come out. * Restaurant was clean and organized. My wife I decided to share the meatloaf with green beans. In our opinion we both felt it was just ok. Just very little flavor and a little dry. The friend of ours at the table got a slice of pecan pie and we share it with the table. It was very good. * We heard from a lot of people in our group they really liked this restaurant. That's why I say "in our opinion".... I do think we will be back in the future and will definitely try something different for sure. read more
