The manager (I think his name was Dave?) saw us waiting up front and came over to make sure we'd been helped.... And chatted with us until the host came back in to seat us. Our server was MaKayla, and she was an absolute delight! Such a good personality and an absolute gem! She made sure we had everything we needed (including multiple trips to get me more lemons for my crab plate lol)! Drinks were refilled quickly too. She was also very respectful, helpful and kind with our adult son who has special needs -- she listened patiently as he ordered (in GREAT detail lol), brought him to-go containers (& cup) and just honestly made him feel seen and heard! I had the snow crab platter, which was very obviously fresh (found out they have trucks bringing them in fresh from Maine 3 times per week!). Such good crab! They even had the little scissors which made shelling it so much quicker and easier! My husband had flounder and fries and then fish tacos and a shrimp taco - BIG tacos! Our son chose the Korean chicken wings and fries -- the wings were VERY BIG too.... We all left very full and even with some to take home with us. Would definitely rate this place 10/10!

They literally have every fast food and chain dining experience on one block, but I didn't know that at the time but I'm tired of road trip Food so wanted to sit down for a good meal! Pulling into the parking lot and I was overwhelmed because it was huge and very crowded! We go to the desk and they tell us 25 minutes. This place was huge and very accommodating, they were getting people to their tables fast! We noticed two empty seats at the bar, so we opted to take them and had the pleasure of being served by Robert. He was attentive, made sure our waters were always full. He gave recommendations on his favorite dishes and was all around a great bartender! The guy working the other end of the bar was equally as professional. The ambience is a dark cool vibe, little trendy but people were dressed pretty casually! Answer the most important thing...The food! For an app, we got the beer, cheese fondue that came with apples, bread and pretzels. The beer cheese had a little bit of ooomph to it, which was refreshing because usually I'm not a big mustard person. The pretzel bites were incredible crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The apples were fresh all around the appetizer for 3 to 4 people so we took extra home. I ordered the 10 ounce sirloin cooked, medium with the web sweet potatoes and a side Caesar salad for a three dollar charge which ended up being a full-size salad! It was super fresh and gigantic for a side salad. The steak was cooked perfectly, in the middle with an insane sear. Their house, butter that they put on it truly elevated the flavor profile. I tried the sweet potatoes mashed and they were enjoyable, but I do not enjoy a sweet side with my food so I knew I was going to donate them to my husband and he said they were incredible, the flavor was definitely there just not my cup of tea, but I knew that from the beginning . He got the Caesar salad with grilled chicken! It had so much flavor and tastes incredible but yet melted in your mouth it was the most tender chicken I've ever had in my life, and the flavor was all there! Not even the slightest bit of any kind of dryness. One of the best bites of chicken I've ever had.! He ordered the bison meatloaf to go, and that comes with caramelized mashed potatoes and fried onion straws.... It smells incredible and I will update when we try it . * UPDATE: best meatloaf ever!!! Based on the quality/ experience on a very busy night- everything was phenomenal and I will return. Service 10/5 Food 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Value 5/5

    Don't let the reviews scare you away! If we had listened to some of the reviews on Yelp and Google,…read morewe never would have tried this place--and that would have been a shame because we had a DELICIOUS dinner! We drove by Captain Jim's on the Parkway and immediately knew we wanted to try it. Then we checked the reviews... and honestly, they almost talked us out of it. We decided to take one for the team and give it a try anyway, and we are SO glad we did! As soon as you walk in, you'll definitely get that seafood smell, but it wasn't overpowering at all. If anything, it just made us even hungrier--and that's a good thing when you're walking into an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet! The buffet stayed stocked with hot, fresh food the entire time we were there. There were plenty of choices, including: Crab legs Baked fish Fried fish Two kinds of potatoes Corn Green beans Pot roast Chicken Ribs Fresh salad bar with lots of toppings and dressings Rolls Dessert, which they bring out after your meal and is included with the buffet! The baked cod was SO good. It had a delicious crust, wasn't overcooked, and had that perfect flaky-but-not-dry texture you want from baked fish. The crab legs were overflowing on the buffet the entire time we were there. They were super easy to crack open and incredibly sweet. Definitely a favorite! The mahi-mahi was cooked perfectly, and the fried fish had what I thought was the perfect batter-to-fish ratio--not a giant ball of breading hiding the fish. Our waitress was also wonderful. I believe her name was Sheda. She was warm, welcoming, and took the time to explain everything since it was our first visit. She really helped make our dinner a great experience. The restaurant itself was clean and had plenty of seating inside. I could definitely see the parking lot filling up quickly during busy times, but once inside, there was plenty of room. Overall, we are SO glad we ignored the reviews and tried Captain Jim's for ourselves. Sometimes you just have to make your own experience, and ours was a very good one. The food was hot, the buffet stayed stocked, the seafood was delicious, and the service was friendly. Would we go back? Absolutely! If you're in Pigeon Forge and considering Captain Jim's, I'd say give it a try and decide for yourself. We're glad we did!

    We had an AMAZING dining experience and encourage you to experience Seasons 101 for yourself…read more We made a reservation online for a party of 4 and dined there on Sunday, Memorial Day weekend. We were greeted and seated promptly in a lovely little alcove near their patio, the perfect spot for old friends catching up. Our server, Olivia, was phenomenal, offering insight and recommendations into their seasonal menu items. We started with cocktails and appetizers. We loved the Roasted Beet Salad and Crab Bisque. Deee-licious! We then moved on to our entrees: Filet mignon (prepared Medium) w/caramelized onions & garlic mashed potatoes. The filets were seasoned and cooked perfectly - melt in your mouth, oh soooo good! Prime rib steak sandwich with caramelized onions & melt cheese. Opted for a side of grilled zucchini instead of fries. Also a big hit with our friend. I chose the night's feature dish of halibut and couscous. Nicely prepared and delicious. Though we didn't have room for dessert, once Olivia brought the dessert tray by, we quickly made room! My husband chose the Blueberry Bread Pudding. Of course I had to taste! I'm typically am not a fan of bread puddings due to being heavy and somewhat gummy! This one was absolutely light, and yummy allowing the blueberries to shine. Our friends shared the NY cheesecake with fresh strawberries. Also, light, fluffy and delicious! I chose the key lime pie with toasted coconut sprinkled on top. Incredibly good with light tartness though I prefer more tart. Still, it ranks up there as one of the best I've found. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the cocktails, food, ambiance, decor, and our server, Olivia. Ample portions, reasonable/comparable pricing, and delicious/creative menu. Bravo, Seasons 101! Bravo!! P.S. They also have a lovely outdoor dining area, if you so desire.

    We came here for my friend's birthday! It was a party of 12 of us and we were seated in a back…read moreroom. We were all seated and greeted and got our initial drink orders. The birthday girl was running a tad late (10mins) we decided to wait for her to order and sort of appetizers. I had a cucumber giblet off of the summer drinks menu. It was very refreshing and I enjoyed it, even though it's made with gin and I'm not the biggest gin fan. The table ordered a few appetizers and split amongst us all. I tried the Brussel sprouts and the fried artichoke hearts. They were both really good but wow, never had fried artichoke hearts and I LOVED those. I ordered the rack of lamb, but replaced the seasoned veggie with the wedge salad, which I had come out first. It was very delicious, but I wish it had a tad more blue cheese/ dressing on it. (It was very good, just a personal preference and the server was no where around to ask for more) I ate it how it was and it was very good. The lamb chops came with a mashed potatoes and I ordered them MR. They were so good! Juicy BUT they were not hot. We got there for a 6:15 reservation. We didn't get our food till close to 8:30. I understand having the food come out all at once, but to have dinner take 2 hours is insane. My food wasn't even hot, but I was so hungry I ate it without even saying anything. It was good but if they knew they needed everything done and something is cooked MR, maybe cook it towards the end. I ordered a 3rd drink but then everyone was done, and getting cleared, and I didn't see the server again. So I decided to go to the bar and cancel the drink myself. Over all, all the food was tasty, the service wasn't HORRIBLE, but they need stronger servers for larger parties and ones that are more attentive. The food was not hot, and we were there for 3 hours for this experience. If I ever go back. It will be alone or with one other person. There is no way I am having a dinner take 3 hours and have my food cold. I know it's standard for large parties, but gratitude was included, so make sure you are aware/ look to see on your check before you decide to leave even more.

I ordered the seafood pasta and asked if extra squid could be added in place of the scallops and mussels. When my dish arrived, I was disappointed to find there was no calamari included at all. If that had been mentioned when I placed my order, I would have chosen the pesto pasta instead. That said, the food itself was very good, and our waitress was attentive and friendly throughout the meal. They also brought us a complimentary slice of strawberry mascarpone cake to make up for the inconvenience, which was a thoughtful gesture and very much appreciated.
