If you're not a Gen X kid from the 80s who grew up on DoH then this place holds zero interest. Cooters is wall to wall shirts, hats, and merchandise from the show. One unique quality is the photo ops in the Hazard Jail, Boars Nest, and then Daisy's Jeep Dixie and of Course the General Lee. Signs say $10 for pictures in the cars but that seemed arbitrary and not really enforced. The service was friendly and welcoming and had I asked the clerk for a pic they probably would have said yes. At the End of the Day I am a 80s kid that had a ton of the merchandise (TV tray, lunchbox, matchbox cars, wrist watch, list goes on and on) so for me it was a treat but nothing to make a special trip for. Also that day Cletus from the show was there, but didn't stay around to meet him but must live in the area. Like I said, it is what it is so don't wonder if you're missing anything.

Ticketing and getting in:…read more Starting with the very unorganized lines to get in at 4 o'clock. They really need to have some sort of indoor waiting area so that is older people don't have to bake in the sun for an hour before we get in to wait again in the lobby before actually sitting down for the show. The food: The vegetable soup was the consistency of Cambells cream of chicken with chinks of veggies. Not bad at all. The drinks are Coke products and Sweat tea, I had the sweat tea and it was the bomb. The dinner rolls were warm and fluffy. The fried chicken was juicy and flavorful with the perfect amount of nt of seasoning. The mashed potatoes are fresh but would have been awesome with a side of gravy or butter. Pork BBQ was a nice change, not to saucy and had a taste of smokiness to it. The corn on the cob was flavorless and overcooked. I loved the cole slaw and the sweat tea the most. The show: The production was a new storyline that was Halloween based and was a great show. The production was lighthearted and family friendly with water, smoke, and even some fireworks. Nice show

Special Note: Dolly! We love and miss you already! You have built so much in the eastern Tennessee area and you were truly a blessed soul. Attractions: Dollywood has some fun rides and especially fun if you like rollercoasters. My favorite being the Wild Eagle! They had a new 2026 attraction called Nightflight Expedition which is one part motion screen/one part rollercoaster/one part water flume and I have never experienced anything like it before. The Lightning Rod is another great coaster that really shows you the views in the Great Smokey Mountains! I loved the attractions here! Entertainment: Great shows if you like or love country music! They even had Gospel Entertainment and they were unapologetic about offering it which was refreshing to see. Plus Dolly Parton music pumping out throughout the park. Theme: It is Dolly Parton all the way with tons of Butterfly's and country charm. The 1950's town theme bled into the rural country theme that bled into the Fantasy Forest theme to the country Nashville town theme. No space or Superheroes themes but isn't Dolly Parton a superhero in her own way (we miss you Dolly!) Special Theme: We were here for Great Pumpkin Luminights and it sure did deliver on the Halloween themed fun. I suggest a fall trip to Dollywood if you can!

The scale is different but the experience is just as memorable and in some ways more personal. The coaster lineup is legitimately impressive. Big Bear Mountain is the longest in the park and a great ride for the whole family. Lightning Rod is one of the fastest wooden coasters in the world. Wild Eagle gives you incredible views of the Smoky Mountains from the top. Dragonflier in Wildwood Grove is perfect if you have younger kids who want in on the fun. The new NightFlight Expedition that opened in 2026 is a unique indoor hybrid coaster and river raft ride that works in any weather, a great addition. Beyond the rides the park has real soul to it. Live Appalachian music playing throughout, craftspeople demonstrating woodworking and glassblowing, the Dolly Parton Experience museum, seasonal festivals and theater performances at the Back Porch Theater. You could skip the rides entirely and still have a full day. The cleanliness here is consistently remarked on and it's earned. Every corner of the park is well maintained and the staff are the friendliest we've encountered at any theme park anywhere. Go on a weekday if you can, weekends get packed. Buy tickets in advance. Wear comfortable shoes. Worth every mile of the drive from the Carolinas.

Downtown Flavortown -- Pigeon Forge, TN…read more Great Concept, Horrible Execution I really wanted to love this place. I met Guy Fieri once at a food festival in Atlantic City, and let's just say he didn't leave me with the greatest personal impression. That being said, I'll always give credit where it's due. I take a Carnival cruise about once a year, and Guy's Burger Joint makes an absolutely phenomenal burger. So when I found out Downtown Flavortown was in Pigeon Forge, it immediately became one of the places I was most excited to visit on this trip. Deep down, I'm a big kid, and I LOVE a good adult arcade. We headed straight for the arcade, but before buying a game card, I wanted to see what kind of prizes they had. The games looked pretty good--mostly the same type of stuff you'd find at Dave & Buster's--but then we walked into the prize redemption room. That completely killed it for me. There was literally not one prize I wanted to win. Everything seemed geared toward little kids, and I think they're completely missing what makes an adult arcade work. At Dave & Buster's, I've won a really nice poker chip set in a metal briefcase and a crystal whiskey decanter set with matching whiskey glasses. These aren't generic prizes either. They're covered in Dave & Buster's logos and insignia. They WANT me taking that stuff home, displaying it, and showing it off to my friends. When somebody asks where I got it, I get to say, "I won it at Dave & Buster's." That's brilliant marketing because now another adult wants to go there and win something cool too. Same thing at Gateway 26 on the Wildwood Boardwalk. I've won signed NFL helmets and other legitimate collectibles there. Those are prizes that make a grown adult look at the ticket requirement and think, "I want that. Let's play." At Flavortown? Nothing. We were standing inside this massive adult entertainment complex looking for one cool prize that would make us want to drop $50 or $100 playing games, and there wasn't one. So we didn't even buy a game card. They literally lost our arcade business because there was nothing worth winning. And that's crazy because the possibilities with the Flavortown brand are endless. Give adults Flavortown poker sets, branded barware, automotive memorabilia, quality glassware, signed sports merchandise--something cool enough that I'll put it in my house and tell my friends, "I won this at Flavortown." Feeling disappointed, we headed over to the tiki bar, which I will admit is a really cool setup. Since I can get a beer anywhere and it was Sunday morning, I ordered their BBQ Bloody Mary. Now, if you're going to call something a BBQ Bloody Mary at a Guy Fieri restaurant, I'm expecting you to go completely over the top. Give me a rib hanging out of it. Brisket. A thick piece of bacon. Something! Instead, I got a Bloody Mary garnished with vegetables. It tasted fine, but come on. Don't advertise a BBQ Bloody Mary if the garnish looks like it came from a salad bar. There was one big bright spot: the pretzels were phenomenal. Bacon-wrapped pretzels sitting in a skillet of cheese sauce, and they were easily the highlight of our visit. I would absolutely order those again. That's what makes Downtown Flavortown so frustrating. The building is impressive, the concept is fantastic, the tiki bar looks great, and there's enormous potential here. But a place bearing Guy Fieri's name should be anything but boring. It should be excessive, ridiculous, memorable and completely over the top. Instead, I left thinking the best way to describe Downtown Flavortown is: Great concept. Horrible execution.

The place had that lively, vacation-y buzz to it--the kind of atmosphere where you can hear laughter over the clink of glasses and the hum of conversation. We were seated quickly, and our server was outstanding--attentive without hovering and on top of everything from start to finish. The margaritas? Exactly what you'd expect from a place that built an empire on them. They came out cold and crisp, with that clean tequila bite, a tart lime tang, and just enough sweetness to keep things balanced. The salt on the rim gave each sip a little extra pop, and after the food arrived, I found myself ordering another. Now, the fish and chips... two orders, and both landed squarely in the "mediocre" category. They were obviously turning them out as fast as they could, but they did arrive hot, with a crunchy exterior that gave way to a fairly ordinary, slightly dry bite inside. The tartar sauce and coleslaw were fine--nothing that will make you write home, but nothing to complain about either. Was it the best meal in pigeon forge? Nope. Was it a pleasant stop with good service, good drinks, and a fun atmosphere? Absolutely. Sometimes that's enough. Besides, another margarita has a funny way of improving a perfectly average fish.

The creamy vegetable soup with the biscuit was FIRE. And I mean that respectfully because I…read moregenuinely cannot stop thinking about this soup. It was incredibly creamy and flavorful, and the biscuit was flaky, buttery, and delicious. Dipping that biscuit into the soup? Absolutely elite. I could've happily eaten a whole bowl of that and called it a day. The chicken was extremely well seasoned and honestly just perfect. The smashed potatoes were pretty good too. We also got the pulled pork, which was delicious, but by the time it made its grand entrance, I was already stuffed. They bring each item out one at a time, so by the time the pulled pork and corn arrived, I had completely forgotten I was supposed to be eating more food. I barely touched the corn because my stomach had officially clocked out. And then there was dessert. Yes, somehow there was STILL dessert. I had to force myself to make room for at least a little because apparently the meal had no intention of ending. I chose the apple pie, while my boyfriend got the chocolate coconut one. I tried his, obviously, and both were equally delicious. At that point, I was eating purely out of obligation and determination. The show itself was so entertaining! There was plenty of action, humor, and some healthy, fun competition. I especially loved how much crowd interaction there was because it made the whole experience feel much more immersive and fun. Overall, the food was delicious, the show was entertaining, and I left completely stuffed. But honestly, I'm STILL thinking about that vegetable soup. Kudos to the chef because that soup really stole the show for me.
