    This is a neat restaurant on the main road in Pigeon Forge. I came here with a friend for dinner while we were in town checking out Dollywood. The space is nice and there's a good number of items on the menu. I liked my sandwich! Well made and the bread was nice and crispy. The service wasn't the best, though, as our waitress was super pushy. Also, the silverware all came dirty - and not just stained, we could physically pick food off of the knives. Probably would not return here.

    It's been over two years since we've been to JT Hannah's. The last visit was a continuation of the downward spiral we had been noticing. We had given up. We decided on a whim to try it tonight. It was busy... 30-45 minute wait. We waited and watched people enjoying their food. Birthday celebration going on, so there was a lot of happy noisiness. We were seated and Chloe quickly came to our table. We had waters and then decided to order. We told her about our last visit so she started giving us her favorite meal. She substitutes jalapenos for the green peppers in the French dip and adds a side of au jus. Sounded great! We ordered a side of buffalo chips. Chloe KNOWS her food!!! It was excellent! We didn't want it to end. We will definitely give JT Hannah's another try. Here's hoping for consistency! Way t go, Chloe!

    We went around 5 PM on a Saturday evening and was seated right away! Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. We got the J.T. Hannah's Sampler for an appetizer! It was so much food I should've stopped there! It had cheese quesadillas, loaded potato skins, Buffalo Chips which are potato chips, chips and cheese and onion rings! Yum! For my entree I had the hot hammy Sammy with a side salad! The side salad is a pretty good size salad! The sandwich was delicious! My partner had a cheeseburger with a side of potato salad. He really enjoyed it as well! Big restaurant with nice wooden tables with a big bar area. Gave me the feeling of eating at an old country salon! Loud country music. We will be back!

    We came here and had no idea why it wasn't more crowded 'cause the food was delicious. So you come in and the place feels like a Cracker Barrel, homey and there are old fashioned things all over the walls. As for the service mmm y'all could do better. Considering it was NOT crowded, we had to wait quite a while for service after we were seated. Me and a friend got the Rocky Top Rachel which was delicious buuuuut it could've used more sauce as there was none in my sandwich and only like a dollop right in the middle of mine. Mostly though y'all were great, keep it up JT!

    Went later in the evening on a Friday a group of three were at immediately One thing we noticed right away that they were opened after 10 o'clock, which was really good because everything closes early We started off with the spinach, artichoke dip and fried pickles The spinach and artichoke dip is served in a bread bowl and it was delicious and creamy and cheesy one of the best ones we've had so far. The fried pickles were super salty, but crunchy and crispy, which is hard to find. We had a ribeye steak, half rack of ribs with the Fixins. The ribs were decent could've used more sauce. The steak was cooked to perfection. Nice intended, easy to cut through and not too chewy. I believe our server's name was Robyn. She just seemed like she was totally over tourist, but definitely provided a decent service making sure that our drinks were filled in our food was correct. This is a casual restaurant and a super busy area so it could be busy depending on the date and time

    Chicken parm pasta

    SO good! This was our first time eating here and we're so glad we decided to give it a try. One of the only places I've ordered chicken parm and haven't had to substitute spaghetti with marinara with Alfredo... it comes that way already. Teriyaki was unique. The flavor was great and overall a great meal. We will definitely go back! Our server was so sweet. The restaurant was quiet and decorated nicely.

    Visiting Pigeon Forge for a little escape and there are so many great food choices, but be prepared to wait! We chose this spot after careful consideration. We did have to wait about an hour but to be expected at dinner time. Hostess' were so friendly and accommodating, considering how slam busy they were. Great menu, rustic vibes, plenty of TVs for the sports lovers. We got the ribeye steaks and loaded potato's. We got chocolate cake to go. Everything was so good!! Alex was so pleasant and knowledgeable. We had a great experience and definitely recommend!

    Coupons outside front door, everything around

    Best tasting food all week! Every restaurant near me y seemed to be packed! We crossed the street and found this restaurant almost empty!!!!! Had tons of coupon books and other advertisements for the area so nice stop for our first day in the area. The inside is decorated with tons of old time farm stuff very cool to look at while you wait for your food! Best tasting food all week!!!! Daughter and friend had a Ruben sandwich (ask for extra sauce) o had fried catfish, fried perfectly and nice flavor on the breading. Very nice quick good eats spot.

    Came here for lunch while in town. Service was ok ; switched to 3 different waitresses and it took longer than expected I ordered the country fried steak and took pictures of the other food ordered by my family. Everyone thought the food was great.

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.

The atmosphere was good as well. It was a nice vibe with the TVs and the large projector screen. They had one of the World Cup matches on so that was nice. My husband and I both order old fashions. He order the espresso and I ordered a smoked one. By far one of the best I've ever had. We had the fried green tomatoes and they were tasty, a little more pimento would have made them perfect. Now the bad. I'm not sure what all the other folks ate that left such great reviews, but I can only assume that none of them had the brisket Mac and Cheese. Because it was cold and there was zero flavor. I literally had to use the BBQ sauce to get some flavor in the food. The Mac and cheese tasted like the old school powder Kraft. My husband wasn't a fan of his burger because it had the same bad Mac and cheese on it. Needless to say as much as we visit the mountains this will be our one and only time at Junction 35.

I was driving…read moredown the parkway and wasn't sure what to eat when I glanced to the side and saw a building with my name on it. With a cool interior design, Paloma offers some delicious Mexican food. To start, I had the Paloma Guacamole, fresh and tasty. They give you the choice of blue or yellow corn tortillas, which you can taste and are freshly made. I also tried their white sangria, which was refreshing and delicious. I had their Yuca Fries and a Pork Carnitas Taco. Their food was delicious and had great flavor; however, I found their prices a bit steep, $6 for a single taco was kind of wild to me. Overall, Paloma was good. The service was kind and the food was good.

It wasn't that busy but the 3 workers were running around...I mean 3 seated tables! Eventually, our order was taken (also breakfast). We asked 3 times for extra cream for the coffee. The coffee arrived after the food without extra cream. Wife likes a lot - we let it go. I specifically asked for no syrup on my french toast. Well, you probably know what happened here - syrup on the french toast. We did mention the syrup and the server offered to change it and claimed he/she did submit our request. I declined...I used to work in the food business and it's burned in to my brain to not send food back. The food was pretty good and the server was trying but seemed overwhelmed.
