I've driven by Sakura for years. The lil' missus wanted sushi yesterday. She googled sushi- says…read moreSakura has 4 stars and it's a buffet. Ok let's try it. Parking is tight. 2:30 Sunday afternoon and there is a line. It's dark. It's old. It's cramped. It's packed. Pay as you enter at some booth that looks like a fortune teller would be sitting in it. If the fortune teller was indeed there- they would say you are about to be forever changed. We paid- got seated- and headed to the buffet. Holy guacamole Batman. It's tight and crowded. They had prawns or maybe crawfish- missus loved them. They had shrimp. Fried fish looked rough. They had everything you can find in a Chinese food place. They had miles of noodles, piles of egg rolls and dumplings and spring rolls. They had ice cream and cookies and desserts. They had cakes and puddings and yes- a salad or three. If you got to a buffet and eat a salad- you got issues I can't fix. The final test: missus says she didn't see red jello. It isn't a real buffet without the red jello. I went looking. Yes- three kinds of jello. How did everything taste? Missus liked it all and really liked the potatoes ( why, just, why.) I thought the place was absolutely terrific. Old and a bit tired but the food was so very good. The service from our waits was good. She would say to people "I see you" and smile as she took the empty plates or refilled glasses. We paid $12.99 per person, plus $3 per person for drinks. With tip is was like $38 ish bucks. I can spend that at Freddy's or Burger King for two people. So- if ya haven't been there, try it. If ya have- you hopefully had the same great experience we did. Ive included a photo of the jello, just to prove how authentic Sakura is.

Aunt Granny's was hands down our favorite meal at Dollywood. At around $29 per adult, my toddler…read morewas free; it was a great value for the amount and quality of food. The family-style meal starts by choosing three entrées and four sides for the table. After finishing those, you're welcome to order more from the menu, but we were so full after the first round that we didn't need anything else. We chose the fried chicken, grilled chicken, and catfish, with mac and cheese, mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans, and cornbread. Every single dish was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. That's even includes dessert ! Which was not advertised on the menu so it was a sweet surprise. The service was friendly and efficient, and the food came out hot and quickly. We enjoyed this meal more than any other restaurant we tried in Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge. If you're visiting Dollywood, don't skip Aunt Granny's!

This was such a cute spot inside Dollywood. The staff are dressed as "Grannies," which fits the…read moretheme perfectly and makes the whole restaurant feel fun and unique. The interior is designed to feel like you're eating in grandma's house, and the comfort food absolutely matches that cozy vibe. It's all-you-care-to-eat, so you can order multiple main dishes and sides--and there is so much food. Even between two people, we couldn't even think about going back for seconds, even though they are included. They also bring out plenty of desserts, plus drinks are included. The biscuits were hot, fresh, and baked to perfection. We left completely full and really happy. The food was delicious, the service was super friendly, and the whole experience was just really enjoyable. I loved it!

With the exception of the waitress, I truly felt that they could not possibly have cared less. Very disappointed ​

Why would the hostess even put anyone in that booth! Our friend said we have to move. I can't sit like this i will throw my back out! The food was mediocre. A lot of breaded shrimp and fish. Overcooked salmon. The side dishes were bland. I really only enjoyed the hush puppies and cold shrimp. I also had a bbq rib, which wasn't that great.I don't recommend this place. There are plenty of other seafood places to go to near by. Save your money and time.

Best BBQ Buffet I've Seen!…read more So this place does a cool and different kind of thing. You can order like normal or you can have a buffet which I recommend where you pick your meats, which are also all you can eat to go along with the tasty buffet. Meat refills bring you back to the counter for an easy experience. Good brisket meat. I liked that they asked how moist I like it. Tasty and well seasoned meat. Strawberry shortcake was tasty! Butterscotch pudding reminded me of childhood. There is also a fruit buffet we were excited about but then forgot about until we left. So much eating! 4 different types of tasty teas! There are puddings, potato salads and other stuff that is in the refrigerators at the entrance also that is included with the buffet too! My only complaint is on my own self. The food was so good I ate way too much and needed to sleep afterwards! This is a new favorite for me when in the area. What are you waiting for? Go feed your inner animal at Hillbilly's!

Of the 5 night we were in town, we visited The Appalachian 3 times - not just for the quality of…read morethe food, but also for the quality of the people. From ensuring they source fresh, seasonal ingredients to creating a welcoming atmosphere, it's obvious that everything is done with passion and attention to detail. The night we came in for dinner, we had the joy of having Mariah as our server. We had the fried chicken skins, the à la carte ribeye and sirloin, mashed potatoes, broccolini, and summer squash, and then the cobbler for dessert. The drinks were strong pours, everything was seasoned perfectly, and the service was impeccable. Another night, we came in for drinks and dessert and had the goat cheese cheesecake and Pots de Crème. If you're looking for a restaurant that's the perfect combination of great food and great vibes, this is absolutely it.

A friend and I decided to try The Appalachian several weeks ago. We'd heard good things and wanted…read moreto check it out for ourselves. We arrived, had a drink at the bar, then were seated. First off, the restaurant is truly stunning! Service was excellent too. We started with the Fried Chicken Skins. My friend had heard good things for a friend, but we weren't particularly impressed. I had the Hanger Steak as my entree, and it was delicious. I especially loved the potato dumplings! My friend had the Kansas City Strip, cooked medium rare, with broccolini. Initially, the steak was overcooked, but the staff quickly cooked another steak and made it right. Overall a really good experience! Downtown Sevierville has really evolved, and we enjoyed walking around and exploring after dinner.

Jerry was the one who seated us, and while showing us to our table, he made a comment implying that because I am a "bigger" girl, he could make adjustments for me to fit in a booth. The comment was unnecessary, inappropriate, and frankly embarrassing. I fit in the booth just fine and did not ask for any accommodations. No customer should be made to feel singled out or judged based on their appearance. Between the mediocre food and the unprofessional treatment, we will not be returning.

We didn't care for the lamb this visit. Prepare how the service works - you have a card that is red on one side and green on the other. Green side up means you want more meat. A server will come around with one choice at a time. Either take some, or not. The small tongs are for picking up your serving from the server. Do try the pineapple, it's very good. I'm wheelchair bound and they were very accommodating though it was tight in places. They are fully accessible. It was crowded when we visited so a touch loud at times. Overall a good visit but -1 star for price vs quality. Make a reservation or chance waiting long.

Unfortunately, this is an opportunity for the government of Pigeon Forge to demonstrate how inadequate it is in reference to managing large events.
