My little family frequents Pigeon Forge often, and we desired trying this restaurant every time we passed by it... Well, after dining here, it left nothing to be desired... I don't plan to eat there again... They are supposedly known for their hamburgers, which the waitress confirmed... So, I chose the Aloha Burger, and it was just mediocre... My burger was served with fries that weren't good at all... So, I chose another side of potato salad... I didn't like it either. My husband got one of their specialties, the Rueben, and it was just fair... My daughter got another one of their specialties, fish & chips... The fish was pretty good... She chose slaw as her side...It looked good, but had no flavor... She ordered lemonade to drink and it was so sour, she asked for sweet tea instead... The sweet tea was so sweet, it tasted like a mouthfull of liquid sugar... My husband had a Dr Pepper with his meal, and the waitress was so attentive that she would deliver another one to the table, after he had a couple of sips... Oh, we also had the infamous fried pickles, and they were very greasy and basic...Our total was approximately $65, the quality wasn't even worth $30... Atmosphere was best thing about this place, cramped spaces, but kinda cute! read more

Just wanted to share our experience at J, T, Hannah's yesterday evening. We had a long day at Dollywood and want3d a place in Pigeon Ford that offered a cold beer and dinner. J. T. Hanna's was the perfect spot! Absolutely some of the best dining service we have had in a long time! Beers were ICE COLD and were offered in three sizes. We each had a burger which were very reasonably priced. I ordered the Patty Melt and it was one of the best I have ever had. It was huge (1/2 lb burger) so go hungry or be prepared to take home leftovers! Family friendly also! I highly recommend this place if you Are visiting Pigeon Ford. read more

If I remember correctly our waitress' name was Angie or Angelina and she was seriously so incredibly pleasant. Out of all the places we ate at during our vacation to Tennessee, she was the best waitress I had if not one of the best I've EVER had. I had so many questions about the menu just while ordering our drinks but she answered them all thoroughly and without making me feel rushed at all. If anything is five or more stars about this place, it's the service. Now onto why I gave it four stars: The food was good but not great. Better than okay, but nothing to right home about. I ordered an open faced roast beef and the roast beef and gravy were PHENOMENAL. Sadly nothing else was as delicious. Like I said, just "good". read more

The restaurant itself looked great and they moved things along very quickly even though they were super busy on a Friday evening. We ordered a couple apps, fried pickles with ranch which were good and the spinach artichoke dip in a bread bowl which I was not a fan of at all. The dip was not like any spinach dip I've ever had and taste more like a queso than anything...idk what kind of cheese the used but that was not it, it almost taste like American cheese in there (I know, weird) which I hate. Our main dishes were good though, chicken fried steak, fajitas, & shrimp fettuccine and we didn't have any complaints about them. The service was also very good. read more

Got the spinach dip, taste like velveeta cheese & spinach mixed. Wasn't great but not terrible either. Burger was okay, tasted like it was most likely frozen, and the fries we had to send back for being cold. Not terrible, but not the best. read more

Host and server were polite. We were seated and served immediately. Server offered good, honest recommendations. We had the loaded nachos and steak quesadillas for appetizers. My husband had the southwest chicken salad, my son had the cheeseburger and I had the ribeye. The appetizers were delicious. My husband enjoyed his salad and was very pleased with the portion size. The cheeseburger was very tasty and my ribeye was cooked to perfection. Would go here again on my next trip to TN. read more

Jan 22,2024. Welcome to J T Hannah's kitchen where, instead of correcting an obvious mistake, the manager refused to assist because she "doesn't like the way you are talking to me" you know..... like an ADULT!!!. A manager is the person who has the ability and responsibility to correct mistakes. I was charged $18 for 2 glasses of tomato juice also known as a "Virgin Bloody Mary". When I brought this error to the attention of the manager she said that's the way our system is. I told her she is the manager and has the power, authority, and responsibility to make it right. She said I'll take the second one off the table and only charge $9 for the first glass of tomato juice. Not what I would expect from any quality manager I've ever dealt with. I am not afraid to post positive reviews, and J T Hannah's kitchen has, in the past, provide a solid experience. But this is not acceptable. read more

Food and service. Loved the hamburgers! The strawberry salad with lemon vinaigrette was delicious!

Great food, some of the best we had while we visited. Croissant club was very good, burgers, chicken salad all great. Service fast friendly and attentive. read more

We visited 03/27/23 about 7:30pm. We joined the waitlist online and the estimated time was 20-35 minutes. We were seated within our window. Our waiter, AJ was fantastic! He made sure that we had everything we needed and checked on us regularly. Although we had a wait for our food, the place was packed. And the wait was absolutely worth it. My grandson said the spinach artichoke bowl was probably the best that he has ever tasted. My sirloin was cooked and seasoned perfectly! Everything was absolutely delicious. The rest of the staff never stopped. That crew was hustling! And they were smiling the whole time. The manager was even helping out and busing tables to help out. The place was very clean and well-kept. We enjoyed looking at the relics as we waited for our food. We would definitely visit again, if we return to the area. read more

Always our go to spot when visiting Gatlinburg. We've always had great service and the food has always been delicious.

I really really wanted to like this place unfortunately the cons out weigh the pros. There were two good things about this place . 1.Our waitress was nice she made sure we were always taken care of. 2. The decor is cool Now the reasoning for the one star review when I walked in I went to the front desk I was polite and said hi how are you doing the lady literally stared me and said what's your name I responded with my name and said I didn't have a reservation. She then directed me to the lady in the corner by the door(she made it very obvious In the tone in her voice I had annoyed her)who got me on a waiting list and we were seated almost immediately. Also the only staff that ever smiled was the bartenders they were the only ones that seemed to want to be there or happy. Every other employees I saw were visibly unhappy to be there including our waitress but she did her job great and took care of us.I thought maybe she's having a bad night it happens and I do understand. After being seated we ordered the spinach artichoke dip which was good no complaints there. For our main course I got the stockyard cheesesteak and my wife had the chicken broccoli Alfredo. Both meals were very bland neither of us finished them and we did get to go boxes just in case later we'd want it. They both ended up in the trash after we both started having problems the next morning. After leaving about an hour or so my wife ended up throwing up her dinner I didn't think much of it because we drove four hours before getting there and I thought maybe she was a little car sick. Fast forward next day We both have been super gassy and having bowl movements all day starting early in the morning. I don't know if it was coincidence or what but this is just my experience. In my personal opinion go somewhere else read more

Food was good. Service was good. They sat a large group right beside of us. So our sever stayed tied up with them.

Wow...maybe the worst I've ever been to. We waited over two hours to get a table. The place is filthy, food all over the sticky floor. Menus dirty and table sticky as well. Dust all over everything. The worst thing about this experience was the area we were sat in was ICE COLD! I mean like eating outside in the winter cold. I asked the manager several times to turn off the air. She said she would each time but never did. We were so cold that I asked her to please turn on the heat. It was 45 degrees outside, actually felt colder in this room. Ironic that the huge neon sign on the wall said ICE HOUSE! The fifth time I asked the manager about the heat she said I'm not turning it on because it will smell bad!? So we ate our cold mediocre food in the freezing cold. No apology no check back at all. Do yourself a favor and AVOID this place at all cost. Big sign on the front talking about the founder and the history, manager should read it. read more

Our service here was phenomenal. Kerry took amazing care of us... and she makes the best sweet tea in the USA.

good food and great service from the very nice Karrie! ............................Great vibes and nice waiters and waitresses.

Puzzled why this place has so many glowing reviews. The best thing about it is the decor and then it's all down hill from there. Standard Sysco food. The spinach dip was disgusting and just solid cheese. The "steamed broccoli" was just frozen broccoli that tasted like fish. Fiancé had standard burger and fries. No good draft beer Waitress never smiled. All this being said I'm not sure there is much better in this area. read more

The BEST food I had in a long time! I had the Tennessee T-Rex & it was amazing. So tender & the flavor was off the charts. Usually we need A1 but not with this. My son had the ribeye & he barely needed a knife to cut it. Trenton never left us wanting for refills. Really wanted a dessert but no room! This is on our must list now! read more

This place was AMAZING!! My boyfriend took me there to eat for my birthday and he was so telling the truth about JT Hannah's Kitchen. Mmmm is all I can say. I had the ribs and bbq chicken with baked beans and slaw. He had the sirloin with a loaded baked potato. We shared an appetizer that I could've made a meal out of!! The loaded tater tots is a must have!!! Was too full to have dessert but it sure was tempting! The ambience there was so relaxing and rustic and the service impeccable read more

Anything on the menu with fried chicken in it will not let you down. I got the country fried chicken with coleslaw and mashed potatoes. The white gravy needed some seasoning and the coleslaw was OK. But the fried chicken was amazing. My wife got the southwest salad which also had cut up fried chicken and was tasty. Service was on point and very friendly. read more

We really wanted breakfast but everywhere was closed (It's the day after thanksgiving, what do you expect ‍) So we got lunch at JT Hannah's & it was okay. They were a little busy around 2pm but we got seated and had our drinks very quickly. The wait for food was a lot longer, at least 15-20 minutes which felt slow to me. Our meals were pretty good. I got the Reuben with onion rings. The bread was really crunchy which isn't the way I like it, but it was overall a good sandwich. Boyfriend got country fried steak (that I may or may not have stolen bites of) and said it was better than Cracker Barrel's. So that's important if that is a standard by which you measure your steak. Over all, good food and OK service. I'd go back if I was with someone who wanted to go, but wouldn't go out of my way! read more

We went just while walking around one of our random weekends in Pigeon Forge. The pulled pork was dry. Wasn't actually pulled very well. More like chunked pork. There also was not nearly enough bbq sauce. You are in TN. You should know how to do pulled pork right. The crispy onion rings on said pulled pork however were delicious and need to be an appetizer by themselves. So good! The philly was ok. It needed a lot more onions and mushrooms and peppers. They were diced so small. And more cheese. But it played the part of a philly. Otherwise, we probably wont return to this restaurant just because of the quality not being 100% there. read more

It was crazy busy in the weekends. Food was ok. Good place for big groups where you have a lot of options for everyone.

We didn't take pics because we were soooo hungry! But yum yum yum. You must try the fish and chips!!!! Sooooooo gooooooood!!!!! We also had the Rueben, which could have had more meat on the Sammy but it was on point for flavor and the spinach and artichoke dip which was also soooo gooood!! read more

Great appetizers! Food was good, wait time was pretty long even with putting our name on the list but overall good food, good service and reasonable prices. read more

Sirloin steak is the worst thing you can order. I ordered it and it was .1 inches thick. Ordered medium, literally about broke my jaw with chewing. It was like bubble gum. Only thing to make it better was smothering it in A1 like a A1puddle on top of it. Disappointing to say the least about the place. read more

The ambiance of the place is cool, like everything in this area, it is western country lost in the woods themed. Our waitress was nice, she kept us informed when the food took a little long which we appreciated. But then we got our food, and it was obvious that it wasn't fresh or had been sitting for a while because the average over priced steak had leaked the juices into the plate and it sat long enough that it dried. There wasn't anything that made this place stand out, if there was nothing else around or open- the food was edible even though it wasn't great, but we wouldn't try it again. The cocktails were yummy, but not very strong at all. read more

We arrived pretty late on a Friday night, around 9, and there were several tables open everywhere. We were sat near the bar at a high top. Our server was nice. I wanted to order one of the cocktails but our server told me after I ordered that they were out of strawberry puree and they could sub grenadine. Now, that is not a comparable substitute so I elected for a different drink. My friend got the sweet tea which was warm. We ordered the Mushroom Swiss burger and the French dip. The waiter said the horseradish sauce for the french dip was on the side. Once we got the food, he said they were out of the horseradish sauce. I feel like that shpuld have been disclosed in the beginning and that the server had no clue what they were out of. My friend said the French dip was very salty. My burger was average. Overall a good restaurant but has room for improvements. read more

Food here is mediocre at best and that's being generous. Food didn't taste fresh at all. Seemed like frozen was used. Portion sizes are small for price paid. I got tenders and they brought no dipping sauce. I had to ask for it. Wife's sandwich had no sauce on it. The tenders were kinda tough and bland. Wife's turkey sandwich tasted like turkey I would get at the grocery store straight out of the pack. I also didn't get a refill on my drink. It was offered at the end of my meal which was pointless. This place is way over hyped and seemed very busy to be serving such mediocre food. Will not be back! read more

For years, I would have recommended this business. But our last visit was absolutely awful. The hostess would not quit watching her movie on her phone long enough to answer a single question for anyone. She would even get frustrated when anyone would come up to her needing her help with anything .....AND SHE WAS THE HOSTESS. She was very rude to everyone. The food was good and our waiter was too. There were several different parties I talked to that said they wouldn't be back bc of her blatant rudeness. Pic included of her still watching her movie after she was rude to everyone that approached her. We won't go back. There are plenty of places around here that have good food and better service! read more

I love this restaurant! We went here for fun because it was beside our hotel and it did NOT disappoint! We went there twice the weekend we stayed and got different things each time and we loved every bit of it! Always fresh fast and good food! The servers are very nice and accommodating as well! read more

I'm giving a 2 star for the spaghetti meal that was served for $12.99. The noodles were overcooked and mushy, the sauce was nothing more than a tomato sauce and the 3 meatballs that came with the meal were so over microwaved that they were impossible to cut with a serrated knife. The service was mediocre at best. We had to wait forever to get refills and when we told the waitress about the meatballs her response was dismissive with no offer to replace them. I won't be back. read more

The best place in Gatlinburg. The food it delicious. I had the open faced roast beef. It had so much flavor. My husband had the chicken parmesan. He was as the noodles were cooked just right. The chicken was really crispy too. I had tea also. It was really good. Thanks J.T.Hannah's for making our lunch a nice one. read more

The food and service were amazing!!! It was a great atmosphere. We could laugh and joke as a family and feel out of place even though the food was that of a five star restaurant.

The restaurant was very nice. It had a rustic feel to it. The greeter was quick to seat us and bring a high chair and booster for the grandchildren.
