Must visit Arguably the Best buffet in the Smokies. Not a problem for us that prices are higher than competition. Beautiful property and excellent service. My dear wife always insists on a visit, and so do I. We greatly enjoy the ambience and the dining. Great omlet, which I modified to include all ingredients and had prepared as a scramble. Musician on stairs is a plus.... read more

Song & Hearth - Buffets Near Me - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

Good golly, Miss Dolly did not bless this buffet.We splurged on the Easter Brunch for six people, and it was, unfortunately, an unforgettable waste of money. It took me a while to write this review because I was still trying to process just how disappointing the experience was for the whole family. Let's start with the positive: the staff was genuinely lovely--from the warm greeting at the door to our server and the buffet attendants. Everyone was kind and attentive, and they were doing their best. Now, the food. While the buffet was abundant, much of it was barely edible and did not taste freshly made. My teens--who love fried chicken--took one bite and declared it "unedible," which was my first red flag. They reverted to the kids' station, but the mac & cheese was mushy and unrecognizable, and everything else there had been steamed to within inches of its life. I tried to rally enthusiasm with the donut wall, but despite being coated in sugar, the donuts were oddly tasteless. Many items across the buffet were overly salted--yes, even the greens were sodium loaded . At the made-to-order station, I tried the stir-fry, which was unfortunately drowned in what tasted like bottled sauce. Our last hope was the crêpe station. I understand this is a high-volume restaurant, but the crêpes were clearly prepackaged, reheated to order, and filled with canned fruit. Once again: edible, but barely. We did manage to laugh together about how much we love Dolly Parton--and how shocking it was that food this bad carried her name. I can't speak to ordering off the regular menu, but I strongly recommend saving your hard-earned money and skipping this buffet altogether. Perhaps a freshly made omelet might have been better, but nothing here justified the $65 per person price tag. Aunt Grannies at the theme park is definitely better, but since it was a holiday we eventually went to Bucc- ees later to get better food . read more

Great buffet choices, delicious food, great service! A bit of a walk from the parking area to the restaurant, but the property was beautiful, and plenty to look at along the way. Very relaxing atmosphere. Will definitely be going again! read more

Recently stayed at the Dreammore and had a great time. During my stay, I spent a little time at the Song & Hearth, initially to check out their Bourbon/Whiskey selection but ended up having a few dishes that were reminiscent of Dolly Parton's childhood - Fried Green Tomatoes and Stone Soup. I won't comment on parking as I had a room at the resort. You'll just have to call and ask. I also won't comment on reservations as I walked in and sat at the bar. Not a big bar - but it's usually never an issue when it's a party of one. Service was excellent. Fun, funny, friendly and warm. I wish I remembered their names - but, getting old and I did have a few pours. See pics. Will not be reviewing the pours as they'll have their own spotlight (distillery visit). But while checking out the menu, saw that a few items that specifically mentioned Dolly - so figured why the hell not. Plus, felt like I should add something in my belly along with the adult liquid beverages. See pics. The Fried Green Tomatoes were done well. Keep in mind this dish isn't served regularly where I'm from so I'm going by what I like. Tomato seemed green, or not ripe so they were firm and not mushy and not too tart either. The slices were nice - not too thin or thick. The breading was nice and even. Nice and golden - not overdone. Outside was crisp and crunchy while the inside was tender but intact. I enjoyed the dish. I would have liked some/more paprika for a little kick but I'd have this again served like this. Then I decided on the Stone Soup. My only complaint is I didn't have any stones in my soup to have as souvenirs. Yeah, I'm a dork. But the soup was brothy, light and simple. I would have added more salt for seasoning or maybe some bread to go along but I still finished the bowl. I likely wouldn't order it again though. A little too light for my preference so it's on my been there, done that list of things in life. I really did enjoy the service though. The team behind the bar made me feel like I was hanging out with them at their house as opposed to being a guest in a restaurant. It was a great time. I'd definitely go back to try other dishes. And pours. There were a few more I haven't tried yet. read more

Beautiful resort. Review is for Friday Surf & Turf at the restaurant. EVERYTHING was cold. Soup was lukewarm and everything I ate was cold. The taco bar was non existent until I asked for it. It's on the menu so I expected someone to flip tortillas on a black stone lol or at the very least have tortillas warmed up. When I asked for the taco bar, the chef looked surprised and said he had it behind the counter. I asked for both pulled pork (carnitas) and shrimp. He opened a package of tortillas and put cold carnitas on top of a cold tortilla pulled straight out the package! The shrimp was previously fried cold popcorn shrimp. There's no salsa, jalapeños, cilantro, chopped onions, or anything else. I suggest taking the taco bar OFF of your Buffet menu. read more

We did the Prime Rib buffet they host on Saturday evenings and for $45 thought the menu was well worth it but the food had no flavor, everything was so bland. We tried a little of everything and wasn't impressed by anything. We both barely ate anything. The desserts looked amazing but donuts were still defrosting, not fresh a bit stale. Chocolate cake also dry. The restaurant is very nice, staff very welcoming. Service is getting drinks and that was fine. read more

I'm a sucker for anything Dolly or Dolly related so I had to give Song & Hearth a try. I'm sad to report that this restaurant was a big disappointment. Food was mediocre at best: My family of 3 chose the family style meal experience. Biscuits were very "box mix", green beans were cold, brisket serving size was 2 very small pieces, broccoli casserole was simply broccoli and cheese, fried chicken and catfish was again, mediocre. Desserts were good, very simple but good. The restaurant and resort are both decorated beautifully for Christmas. Our waitress was kind but service was overall very slow. At $32.95 per person, I honestly expected more from DreamMore Resort. read more

WOW WOW WOW! Just go! The prime Rib was scrumptious. The other food was tremendous, and the ultimate was the Donut Wall. What an AMAZING place!!! When in Pigeon Forge, DO NOT MISS! read more

Didn't realize when we checked in that this was basically a buffet only restaurant. We were seated in the back 40, and not told anything about where we should go or how to order. Luckily our lovely server came over and let us know we COULD order off a regular menu if we wanted, and that she would go find us a menu. As it was late, We decided to stay and I ordered the strawberry salad- a very good choice. Daughter got a chicken club. Once ordered we were told it would be upwards of 30 mins as they were "backed up". NO one was in the dining room, btw. Unfortunately, we will avoid this place in the future, I hope they can figure out a better set up! read more

A little pricey at $23.99 but an excellent buffet. The waitress constantly checked in on our table and continually cleared our dirty dishes and brought fresh refills of coffee and was friendly. The fresh made omelets were excellent and the sides were mostly served hot. The French toast and the donut wall were not sufficiently stocked but 95% of the items were hot and fresh. We were a party of 4 and we all would return. The seating was roomy and comfortable. read more

Came here while on Spring break vacation and we were pretty impressed. Despite it not being a buffet anymore which we didn't expect it still turned out good. It is currently served family style and we got the fried chicken, chicken and dumplings, and pot roast. The favorite of mine and my Wife's was definitely the fried chicken it was very delicious. My Wife also enjoyed the collard greens and I was a fan of the Mac and cheese. We would stop in again as like I said everything was delicious read more

A group of us dined here though our colleagues warned us the service was lackluckster the night before. Being the only option at the DreamMore resort, we decided to eat here without wanting to go out. Service was a mess, we didn't know who our server was. A blackberry margarita (which is really tasty!) was given in a broken glass. Someone took it away, but 10-15 minutes later, we had to ask where the new drink was. Busser tried to take away our appetizers when we still clearly had food left on the plates. Asked for tabasco and was never given it so when I asked the waitress, she said she forgot. Fried green tomatoes and pimento dip with chips were good. Shrimp and grits, grits were way too clumpy and cold. Banana pudding wasn't the classic version with chopped bananas and instead just banana flavored pudding. Breakfast buffet here was excellent though, enjoyed the egg/omelet station and biscuits and gravy. read more

Dear Friends, Dolly resides in my living hero book and I will forever celebrate her. Her career has shown me that no dream is to insignificant and that includes pouring into her home state. If you haven't had a chance to visit Tennessee and the places she's left her footprint, what are you waiting for? While visiting "Dollywood," I had the opportunity to snag a reservation to dine at Dolly's flagship restaurant Song & Hearth. Before checking in for our reservation, we took some time to explore the beautiful resort. It's filled with mementos and memorabilia from an amazing career. I was humbled to see the number of hit songs she's written yet always finding a way to spotlight her home. In a world where people are trying to live the life they think others should see, Dolly has remained true. Song & Hearth is a buffet style restaurant that features: biscuits salad bar carving station/pulled pork station build your own grits station ‍ A variety of entrees kid friendly food station dessert wall I was exhausted and failed to fully film the food but I promise it's worth every penny. I plan to snag reservations for the first day of my trip next time. Group Suggestions: This is a great place to take a large group. They have ample seating and there is literally something for everyone on the menu. They also feature a great breakfast selection much earlier in the day. #Pigeonfirge#DreamMoreresortandspa#song&hearth#reaturantsinpigeonforge#yelp#thingstodointennessee#dollywoodvacation read more

Run, don't walk and visit this amazing eatery! Nestled in the beautiful hills of the Smokey Mountains it was a blessing to spend my Mother's Day's evening in the company of my beautiful daughter and enjoy such a fine meal. The timing couldn't have been better we chose 5:30 but arrived early. Our meal was buffet style and the staff Her name was Barley which was as special as she was sweet she took our drink order and welcomed us to enjoy as we liked! My daughter chose the prime rib from the carving station which was cooked to perfection She also enjoyed a side of pasta and a salad. For myself, I enjoyed a shrimp cocktail to start and I also chose the prime rib which was delicious! I love to try different regional dishes and there was a Cajun dish the deserved a try accompanied with a serving of wonderful cheese grits. I also enjoyed a good serving of collard greens my personal favorite which were out of this world! We did save room for dessert Mini cheesecake for my daughter and for myself Made to order Banana's Foster Fabulous Hands down the best meal of our trip Will definitely be back Great job everyone ! read more

Song and Hearth is Dollywood's Dreammore resort main dining facility. Serving both breakfast and dinner advance reservations are strongly recommended. My family came here for breakfast on our first full day at the resort. We were seated in a spacious Southern style dining room complete with a fireplace. Having ordered the buffet I wanted to get a mini Dollywood cinnamon bread but learned they didn't have them for today. We would have to go to DM pantry. Needless to say when we got that cinnamon bread it was very good and enough to last several servings. Our buffet had an omelette station, all types of Southern meats including ham, applewood sliced bacon, sausage, grits. hash browns, egg scrambles, breads, pastries, hot and cold cereal, along with fresh fruit. Let's not forget the waffles with the butterfly in the center along with different types of pancakes and French toast. There is so much there you definitely won't leave hungry. My personal favorite was the prime rib hash. The prime rib tasted so soft and was delicious! This place is pricey since you are in the Dreammore resort. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive to our needs. However when one is on vacation spending a bit more is definitely worth it. Open to both guests and visitors to Dolly's Dreammore resort. read more

Visited for Sunday brunch and found this to a hidden gem. All of the generic pancake houses in the area were packed and it was refreshing to be able to book a reservation. We walked in and we're seated right away. The buffet consisted of an omelette station, prime rib and pork loin carving stations, bacon, sausage, oatmeal, grits, fried chicken, biscuits, gravy, Mac and cheese, pastries, pancakes, hash browns, etc. Everything we tried was great and I thought the price was very reasonable. read more

We actually stayed at Heartsong but the first night we had dinner at the buffet at Dreammore, not normally a buffet person but this is a great buffet! Highly recommend! Prime rib was delightful. The creamed spinach is probably the best I've had! The inside of the restaurant is beautiful. Roy was our server, he was great! The bartender Jenn who prepared our drinks in the lounge area prior to having dinner, she was also so sweet and drinks were delicious! The manager Jeremy, so nice, talk about southern hospitality, he came by our table to make sure everything was great, and it was! Again, if you're staying at either resort I definitely recommend this restaurant, the people are so nice and really take the time to make sure everything is right. Also you have to get a picture with the Christmas tree outside the restaurant! read more

The majority of the food was delicious! I would pass on the shrimp creole as it was more tomato-y than creamy. Everything off the speciality menu was amazing!! The staff was friendly and personable and even when busy, they made sure that we were taken care of. The lounge area does have limited seating but there is a larger buffet area that has much more space for larger families and more menu options. The wine options are limited but they had a delicious riesling and the bartenders were willing to make any drink off menu! read more

I really wanted to like this place, but the food was just average, and you may ask... then why are you giving this place 1 star? It's because of how expensive it is. I would put this place on par with Golden Corral tbh, cafeteria style taste. Just a lot less options and twice the price. Service was great. Place looked amazing. Food was garbage. Sorry. If you wanna wipe your ass with your hard earned cash. This is the place. 1 star. read more

Easter dinner buffet $60/pp. The wait staff was attentive. The food was disappointing. Was it worth $60 pp? No - the prime rib wasn't very flavorful, lamb was blah and the mahi mahi was fishy and dry. Usually we are easy to please but we left disappointed. However the property/resort was very pretty. read more

Song & Hearth - a dining room - Buffets Near Me - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

This review is for the breakfast buffet during a weekday. We enjoyed our AUCE breakfast buffet. Coffee tasted fresh brewed, and all of the items on the buffet that we sampled were tasty and fresh. We particularly enjoyed the freshly cut fruit and the vanilla French toast. I appreciate a good biscuit and the ones on the buffet were flaky as well as tasty. Service was very good and we felt we were given the just right amount of attention without the server being intrusive. We recommend this restaurant and would not hesitate to dine here again read more

We had breakfast here 2x during our stay. It was pretty decent- it's a buffet. The omlet station is great- we found all the food to be fresh (minus the donuts, those were stale). It is a bit pricey, but we needed something at 7am and there is nothing else in the area that opens this early. If you're staying in the resort, it's a good option for early risers. read more

Our family has visited Song & Hearth several times and every visit has been great. The food is exceptional and even our vegetarian family member loved it! It's always a highlight of our visit to Sevierville. For this review, however, I want to specifically discuss my parents' visit on 1/5/2022. It was my mom's 75th birthday, and when I found out they had made reservations at Song & Hearth, I called to see if there was a way I could surprise them by paying for their dinner. I was connected with Athena Bivens who helped me out. Not only did she come up with a way for me to pay for my parents over the phone once they had been served, but when she found out it was my mom's birthday, she also made a birthday card for me, printed it out so that it looked great, and had it delivered to their table. They also had a table visit from Noreem who congratulated Mom and a special birthday cupcake from their server. My mom has raved about how special her birthday dinner was and how honored the restaurant made her feel. I cannot thank Athena and her crew for going far above expectations to make this special!!! read more

Song & Hearth - Birthday Celebration - Buffets Near Me - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

The restaurant converted from buffet style to family style serving at the table in April 2024. We unfortunately were not aware of this until arriving at our reservation. We were very much looking forward to enjoying the buffet as advertised including the bacon wrapped meatloaf and desserts including the donut wall. Unfortunately this was all gone. In addition, the portion sizes were modest and when asked for refills, they were incredibly small and we felt staff were annoyed when we kept asking for more of things we enjoyed (advertised as bottomless). Our trip to Dollywood has been excellent but this definitely stands out as the low point. Hopefully the buffet will return (still available for breakfast). read more

Went there for breakfast. Typical breakfast buffet. A lot of variety. Nothing special. I would prefer to rate them 3.5 due to variety and the service was good. Just hard to give a 4 star when it was nothing special. It was also $60 for 2 people which is typical for a hotel but a lot to pay when it's nothing special. read more

Depressing. That's how I review Song & Hearth in one word. Now don't get me wrong the service was fantastic and the sweet tea was on point but the food itself..... NO. Dry greasy flavorless BBQ. Dry chicken. Just a strikeout especially for the price and we're staying in the resort here too. $110 for 2 kids and 2 adults plus a $25 tip because she was good. I just wish the food was good especially for an 11 yr old birthday girl who LOVES Dolly. You know when you know a ticket is gonna be expensive and you're done eating and you feel cheated? That was where I was this evening. It's covid friendly right now so they serve you the meats at the buffet and the server brings the sides. Salad-warm and someone find a dressing recipe. Mashed potatoes- very thick and sticky could've used a few degrees on warmth. Greens- better than the rest. Corn on the cob was good and so were the baked beans but they needed some warmth too. Stone soup- potato water is a better name. Apple crisp was good. Bread pudding not so much. Apple pie-one bite. I wish it was better. read more

Song & Hearth - Food that wasn't worth eating. - Buffets Near Me - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

Restaurant is beautiful. Well laid out and quiet. We were seated quickly and ordered. Food is "Family Style". Three sides and three meats were ordered for the table. Biscuits were dropped off to us. First off, the much ballyhooed "stone soup" starter inspired by Dolly's never came to the table. Our meats and sides came out almost immediately. Although our reservation was early in the evening, everything we were served looked like the last scrapings of the pot. The whisky baked beans were dry and smashed and even the waitress remarked that they looked like refried beans. The chicken & Dumplings was a bowl of congealed, cold yellowish gravy with very little chicken and one sad, gloppy dumpling. The pot roast was tasty but very, very fatty. The pulled pork, carrots and mashed potatoes were good. We asked to trade the mushy baked beans for the southern green beans and what we were presented with looked so unappetizing. I can only describe them as "camouflage" beans. Some were green, some were grey, some were brown. Altogether they looked overcooked and old. We did not touch them. We asked for fried chicken to replace the fatty pot roast and it was well cooked but not particularly well seasoned. We were surprised that none of the dishes were ever cleared away during the meal and the dessert was served with us just pushing the dirty plates to the center of the table. We expected that with a menu limited to just a few options, the food would be perfected in the kitchen, but sadly, no. If you want a family style meal, eat at Aunt Granny' in the park. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the price was less! Avoid Song and Hearth. You'll do better elsewhere! read more

We were so excited to eat here while staying at the resort. We decided to do dinner & were a little disappointed. The restaurant is doing a great job adhering to the COVID restrictions by turning the the buffet into chef stations. But we were disappointed that the food was not great. The Mac and cheese was crunchy & the salmon was dry and way over cooked. Most of the food was barely warm like it had been sitting for a while. The bright spot of the food was the prime rib! It was the freshest item we had! The dessert was also tasty but the portion was tiny! The price of eating here for dinner & the food quality did not align. Service was also painfully slow and our server had tables in 3 different rooms. Maybe we will try this place again post Covid when things return to normal ---------------------------------------------------- PART 2: Yelp would not let me do a separate breakfast review: Breakfast was wonderful! 5 stars for breakfast! Everything was fresh & hot! Our server was great & very attentive! We started with the omelet & the chef making the omelet was so friendly & we enjoyed talking to him about Sevierville while we waited on our omelet! We shared the biscuits & Gravy and French toast which were great as well! We will return for breakfast! (But prob not for dinner anytime soon). read more

Everything you can imagine was wonderful. They work so hard to make everything perfect.

Horrible. Tried for both lunch and dinner. Buffet is awful - literally no vegetables other than salad and collard greens. Kids section was just corn dogs, tater tots and pizza. Many main courses missing or not restocked. Disappointing ugly fare best suited for a golden corral. read more

This place was adorable! I love Dolly, the southern aesthetic, and some Pioneer Woman vibes. The dining room of this place hits all of those boxes. The server we had were also the sweetest people around. I've been to very few buffets where you get a dedicated server, and I've never had one who was so polite and kind. However, the food was just alright. It's standard southern fare - mac and cheese, chicken and dumplings, etc - that you could get anywhere in the state. With the exception of a Parton family soup recipe, nothing felt particularly special. Additionally, the food was lukewarm or stale. Nothing felt hot and fresh. Although we did go about two hours before they closed, so I think that could explain a lot. Overall, glad that I went but would not come back. read more

This was the worst dinner for my family and I on our extended stay in Pigeon Forge. This place is so expensive! You can get a much better meal just up the street at Five Oaks, The Old Mill or a plethora of other good options. First, with hardly any customers, we get seated in a back corner right by the kitchen. This is with 90% of the seats in the central rotunda wide open. The sweet tea here tasted horrible, how can someone mess up sweet tea? Same for the chicken and dumplings. They had almost no flavor. Worst I've ever had. We really regret eating here, was all around a waste of money. read more

They got rid of the buffet during the week. It's only on the weekends now. It's still all you Dan eat but you pick items from the menu and they bring it tableside. Not nearly as good. Food was average almost cafeteria grade but the price is still the same. It was over $100 for 2 adults and 1 child. Not worth it at all. So disappointing. read more

We had breakfast at Song & Hearth this morning (6/17/24). We had the dinner buffet here last year and enjoyed it--we were sad that it is a family style restaurant now, but tried the breakfast buffet this morning. Honestly, everything was good, but everything was also cold by the time we got from the buffet line to the table. That's the only reason we didn't give a 5 star review. The buffet featured a little bit of everything from fruit to an omelet station. The kids enjoyed the funnel cake waffles with whipped cream and sprinkles and the donuts the best. The adults loved the bacon--perfectly cooked so the meaty part was crispy and the fatty part was cooked but still melted in your mouth. When we made our reservation, we couldn't make a reservation for a party of 11, so we made 2 separate reservations (one for 5, the other for 6), knowing we might not be able to sit together. The restaurant wasn't busy, so we were able to sit together. Our server, Lani, was awesome. She got our drinks, kept sure they were full, cleared plates, and was just on top of it. When she overheard us singing happy birthday to one of the kids in the group, she asked whose birthday it was, and brought a frosted muffin with "Happy Birthday" written in frosting and sprinkles on the plate toward the end of the meal. That small gesture made a little girl's day! read more

I had celebrated New Year's Eve this past January at Dollywood's DreamMore Song and Hearth Restaurant and it was a mouthful, both in regards to the name and the food. Song and Hearth offered a dinner buffet that evening and it turned out to be a good choice for my date and I as she is a vegetarian and most dinner places here in the Smokies are BBQ joints or steakhouses with very limited vegetarian options. Dinner included the all-you-can-eat buffet, table service for drinks, and live music. Along with dinner we were invited to DreamMore's family friendly New Year's Eve party which was fun and offered some additional snacks, crafts, and entertainment. For improvement, I would say that the check-in process for dinner was a little disorganized and that there were a lot of semi-confused patrons that weren't exactly sure how the procedure should go. A tip for those attending next year, I would say check-in at the restaurant early and then head upstairs and enjoy the festivities at the party for a bit before bum-rushing the buffet all at once. There's plenty of food! Additionally, the guests seemed to be a bit all over the place in regards to what the atmosphere of Song and Hearth should be. Some dressed fairly formal, as it was New Year's Eve, and others showed up with their kids in their pajamas and let them run loose throughout the restaurant. Probably business casual is the proper compromise... And lastly, stop letting Dolly name everything: Dollywood's DreamMore Resort Song and Hearth Restaurant is in danger of becoming a run-on sentence and rivals other venues in her pantheon, like Dollywood's Chasing Rainbows The Dolly Parton Story Museum at Dollywood Amusement Park. read more

As with everything I've encountered at Dollywood's DreamMore Resort, the buffet was exceptional (and I've been to a lot of buffets!) I honestly didn't have high expectations regarding the food as my co-worker/friend and I happened upon the buffet approximately 30 minutes until they closed. From past buffet experience, coming this close to a restaurant's close time, usually means overheated food with a gelatinous film over the top layer. I was happily surprised to find the food at Song & Hearth appropriately hot with staff still bringing out fresh items. The food tasted homemade and full of Southern charm and goodness...oh, and butter - delicious butter! My favorite food items were the fluffy and rich biscuits as well as the fried chicken. I'm not exaggerating when I say that the fried chicken was truly the best I've ever tasted. However, I would caution you to save room for dessert! As much as I wanted to keep eating the savory dishes, the dessert (which had a buffet of its own really) tasted as good (if not better) than it looked. Sweet, but not overly so and happiness gushed out with each bite...excuse me while I wipe the drool from my face - this review is bringing back good food memories. Set in a cute, down home country cabin-like environment, Song & Hearth also provided a cozy place to enjoy the delectable savory and sweet food items. Our server was friendly and attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. I'll go out of my way to eat here again if I find my way back to the state of Tennessee. read more
