A lovely, country restaurant that is by the river in Pigeon Forge and has a beautiful water wheel. The food is southern style home-cooking. Wait times can be long so call ahead if you can to get a reservation. If too busy here go across the road to the Old Mill Pottery House. Good food there too and less wait.

This place is owned by an awesome Christian gentleman who loves to make great food and give great service. It literally is a little shed restaurant so do not expect something extravagant. A low key, quick eatery with the largest pancakes I have ever seen. Definitely worth a try in Pigeon Forge.

If you are needing a drive through place or quick sit down meal, this is it! Good food and fast. We normally get the kids meals because there is a enough food for us and you get a drink for a good price.

The larger Old Mill can often time have waits. We love to go here across the street and eat. The lunch menu is awesome, breads are amazing, and they are known for their chicken salad. They have a fireplace inside as well as a nice patio outside.

Outdoor Fun

Neat place to visit. Has a chairlift to the top or now they have an open air truck also. The views are great and there are stories/historical walk with signs that tell about the fire that devastated the area. We love the swinging tree bridges, ziplines, mountain coaster, children's treehouse style play area, photo op props on top of the mountain, eating areas, fireplace, and so much more. Neat for families or a romantic date spot.

I have been to Hillbilly Golf since I was a child. I love riding the rail car up the mountain and golfing down. Some areas were burned during the fires but have been repaired. Shaded with the forest and neat obstacles for a great round of putt-putt!

Amusement

All sorts of fun things to do.
An amazing, tree-filled theme park with a family friendly feel. Bluegrass, Christian, and Dolly's music plays throughout the park. Rollercoasters for all ages, seasonal themes, and all sorts of fun shows make this an awesome place. We have a season pass and go as much as possible. If you plan to go more than once this is a good money saving option. We have one gold pass which gets us 20% off anything we purchase in the park, including another person's pass.

Sightseeing

My favorite moonshine, other than homemade from my hometown, of course. You pay $5 to get 12 samples and then you can use that $5 towards whatever Shine you purchase. Outdoor sitting area in the back with live music at times and good dancing if you aren't afraid to just get up and start dancing.
