The…read morefood was absolutely delicious, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere made the celebration even more special. One thing we really appreciated is that if it's your birthday, they give you a 25% discount, which was a great surprise and made the occasion even better. Our whole family had a wonderful time. Our 6-month-old daughter, Genesis, had a blast chewing on the ribs, and our one-year-old son, Titus, ate everything on his plate and clearly loved every bite! Thank you to everyone at Austin's Steak House for helping make my wife's birthday so memorable. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and outstanding service!

My husband's workplace has taken them to Austin steakhouse a few times and steak is good for anemia…read morewhich I have so he decided to take me here this past weekend. Be prepared they almost always have a weight come dinner time. They told us about a 25 minute wait but it really only you landed up like maybe 10 minutes for two people and a baby. It's very busy inside. You'll have to step around people a lot, but I feel like that's common for a buffet. Food was constantly being brought out and was nice and hot. I absolutely love their chicken and dumplings, fried chicken, and their green beans the mac & cheese was extremely watery and not that great and we were super disappointed in the steaks. They just tasted like fake or kind of gamy. Wasn't a fan of that, but there was definitely plenty of food to choose from and desserts! Our server was super sweet and made sure to refill our drinks and take our dirty plates often Overall, I think the food was good, especially for the price and there's a ton of options. It is a bit loud because tables are very close together. But again that just has a lot to do with the fact that it is a buffet place. Overall, I would say that it's like a golden corral on steroids

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.

I was surprised because I had not had any good meals at theme parks, but this place inside Dollywood was very good. (all of Dollywood was amazing) All of the dishes we got were delish: had the mashed potatoes, gravy, fried chicken, black eyed peas, turnip greens (#1 of my most favorites), green beans, fried catfish (#3 of top 3), and sausage (#2 of top 3) Would I go back?

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!

I went here for lunch. The location was easy to find…read more There was a decent amount of parking spots. Inside does have a seafood smell but nothing too crazy considering I go to a lot of Asian grocery stores. You get the option of buffet with crab or without crab. The selections were pretty impressive. They had things including steamed crab legs, fried oysters, many times of prepared shrimps, hushpuppies and much more. There was also a good selection if someone in your party does not eat/like seafood Our server was amazing and very friendly. We ended our meal with the included dessert. The price is a little high but considering you get unlimited crab, we did have a great time here and we would be back. I can see issues possibility if they were packed but on a Sunday early lunch everything was nicely served and kept hot. Plus they were good about replacing the food if they ran out

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.

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.

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.

Sunday Golden Corral…read more The premier car show in Pigeon Forge in April is the Smoky Mountain Spring Rod Run, and we love car shows.... Unfortunately, this is an opportunity for the government of Pigeon Forge to demonstrate how inadequate it is in reference to managing large events. A professional staff would manage traffic flow rather than permit the present "Free for All." We endorse that Golden Corral offers Dinner (rather than lunch) all day at Dinner prices. Excellent large shrimp, and steak grilled to order. We realize the increase in Sunday prices deter folks from attending, and that is fine.

Good golly, Miss Dolly did not bless this buffet.We splurged on the Easter Brunch for six people,…read moreand 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 .
