After keeping us waiting 30 minutes, she gave us the finger as we left and drove by! She told us to F* off!
Jack V.

This is absolutely the worst Sonic we have ever been to. Most of the locals know not to eat at Sonic in Pigeon Forge, and now we do also! On June 11th, 2025, @ 2130, we took a group of baseball players there from Ripken Baseball Field after a baseball tournament. The kids like Sonic from where we are from. The line of cars behind us was to the street, but the line was moving VERY Slow. What we noticed is that vehicles were just pulling out of li e and leaving after waiting 15 minutes or so. When we got to the ordering speaker, the woman asked if we were from Door Dash. We said no. Then NOTHING!!! After 5 minutes I asked if she was going to take our order, NOTHING!!! Another 5 minutes, NOTHING!!! Through the speaker we could hear people laughing. So I asked them why they were so RUDE and disrespectful to people and inconsiderate to their time? She said, GET the F* OUT of here, We're not taking g orders!!! I told her that she was a disgusting person and left. As we drove by the window, three people, all American Americans, were laughing. The woman gave us the finger, and I took a pic of it!!! We were so so so lucky not to eat from this place. We stopped by the nearby WalGreens and bought some ice cream. The manager there told us NEVER to eat at any of the Sonics in the area. She said that all the Locals knew that!!! Well, now we let all the people at Ripken field know that and they put this information on their site and blog!!! Terrible people. Unclean, disgusting workers ( not working), and very untrustworthy. Not a place to bring your kids!

The hamburger was very nasty

Sat for 10 minutes trying to order. Finally left to go somewhere else. Not worth stopping. There's more choices along the road.

The one star is for the service. I cant rate the food because i wanted 25 minutes, asked a car hop about it, and never saw anyone again.

Chicken nuggets were hard and grilled cheese burnt. The best thing I had was a root beer float which I would say tasted average

Didn't have ice cream or mozzarella sticks. Claim to be out of all items we needed before we ever even asked. Hmmmmmm.

Best milkshakes in the business as well as burgers. Also, the servers here are heads above anyone else. Keep up the great job!

This diner is a blast from the past, right down to the benches and the tables, every table has a…read morecoat and hat rack attached to it. A reminder of the days when men and women dressed with class and wore hats and coats to dinner.. Mills has this inherent 50s vibe, but the menu is quite up-to-date and everything is delicious. You can't go wrong with the burgers, I'm just telling you they've got something for everyone's taste. Even the sides don't disappoint, and the milkshakes are enough for two people, at least it was enough for the two of us. My engine rings were fantastic, breaded to perfection, and plenty of them came with my meal. Our waitress was tremendous also, quick drink refills, brought our food, hot, and prepared to give helpful and delicious recommendations from the menu. They do sell their merchandise at the checkout, but what do you expect, this is pigeon Forge for goodness sake! Everyone is Hawking their stuff . We are definitely planning on coming back and trying something different. Their menu is diverse and I think that we could come back for years and never have the same thing twice.

First time here, overall decent place. It's a good 1950s diner, typical of what you see normally…read more It was a happening place, all seats were filled, there was probably 60 guests there. The staff was running back and fourth, overall the wait time was not and at all. I had a chili, cheese, mushroom, back, burger, onion rings, and a root beer float. The service was decent, the food was ok, not greatest but not the best I've had either. I wouldn't mind returning and trying something else next time.

We stopped in here on our recent trip to the area as it has an outdoor dog friendly patio option…read moreand we were traveling with our Frenchie. It took a bit for our server to come acknowledge us but once he did, he was very helpful and attentive. My boyfriend ordered a peach Kentucky mule (they originally said they couldn't make that, which we questioned with it being a distillery, but our server came back and said they could after all). He enjoyed it and said it's one of the better ones he's had! We both ordered smash burgers and sweet potato fries - I had the junction 35 (pimento cheese + bacon jam) and he had the farmhouse (bacon + fried egg). Both were amazing! Juicy burgers, perfect size patties for smash burgers, the buns were fresh and held up nicely, and the toppings were great. Sweet potato fries had a great crunch and were seasoned really well. Service was great, food was high quality and had great flavor, and the dog friendly patio was perfect for our pup. It's located in a nice little strip of shops and restaurants, and has a common area of cornhole and other games that would be fun for an activity before/after dinner, or if you have kids in tow. We'd definitely make another trip here when in the area.

No wait. Service was quick. Food was good. Server was wonderful…read more Parking lot is tight and small. We had to circle a few times to get a spot. I got a side salad with tots and cheese. The bigger salads were monstrous but delicious.
