    12 In Lasagna Pizza
    Chris D.

    This pizza was bussin bussin! Well made pie and the ingredients were nice and fresh. This place popped up on DoorDash while I was looking to grab a bit passing through the area. The service was great the ladies at the counter were nice and accommodating. I got my food to go but the building is attached to a distillery and what goes better with pizza than bourbon. Will be back whenever I'm in town for sure.

    We ordered food online to go and it was ready on time. Toasted ravioli-- perfectly crispy and accompanied by the best marinara sauce Cannolis-- amazing; I also tried these with the caramel sauce that comes with the apple pie rolls & that made them even better

    We used the yelp app to look up local pizza place after going to Dollywood. This was rated one of the highest so we tried it tonight. We are glad we did the staff was really nice and helpful while ordering and the pizza was delicious. We ordered a 18" sausage and pepperoni and requested a little well done. It came out perfect. Nice blend of char and some dough bubbles for character. It was crispy and really hit the spot. If you need more pizza they do sell a 28" pizza if you have a large party, of course it starts around $60 but it is huge. We did a to go order and it was ready in no time. Very fast in the kitchen. Sauce was tangy with a little sweet flavor to it. On the way out I put half the pizza inside one of those Sam's club insulated bags because it was all I had in my truck, but one of the employees husband who had been picking up his wife who works there gave a insulated food bag he had for free. We really appreciated it and he asked for nothing. What a nice gesture. Something I will never forget. Thanks again it got home super hot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant is very clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and we will be returning anytime we are in town. So if you are looking for a local pizza place this it!

    I will be thinking about this pizza forever. I will probably not get back to this area for a long time so I'm glad I experienced it although I will miss this pizza. We ordered online which gave us 20% off. We got the meat eaters pizza and got garlic Parmesan crust, which was worth the little bit extra for doing that. What made this pizza so great was everything was embedded on the cheese and when I bit into it, it didn't pull apart. It wasn't messy and was packed with flavor and stayed together so well. We got apple pie rolls, which were really good but too sweet for me, but I don't have much of a sweet tooth anyway it was for my partner who really enjoyed them. Four stars only because it wasn't ready at our pick up time. We waited for about 10 minutes.

    We got the meat eater pizza and apple pie rolls. Delicious. This pizza stands out among most I've eaten. The Parmesan garlic crust was so noticeable and delicious. All the toppings were packed with flavor and all held together and didn't slop off. This was one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Highly recommend this place. We did take out. The apple pie rolls were amazing.

    Large 18" Cheese Pizza

    Decent pizza but way too salty in my opinion. We stopped in to try some since it was close to the hotel and suggested on Yelp. I wouldn't go back unfortunately. The pizza is expensive but everything is nowadays $20 for a large cheese, if you want toppings or a special pizza they run upwards of $30. You order at the counter and they bring out your pie and some paper plates. The cheese has seasoning mixed in so if you don't like that like my kids, they may not eat it. I think this may have something to do with it being overly salty. Luckily after a day of rafting they were starving and willing to eat some of it. The staff were nice and pleasant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Picnic tables out front are offered for dining or they have some seating inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The basket of tots was large but again very heavy on the salt. I know it's the trend to ask for a tip for everything recently but looking upset when not given a tip when no service has been provided is off putting, I am happy to tip after we get the food and service.

    Awesome pizza very tasty. Lots of cheese crispy crust. Go after you leave Dollywood. $23 pizza served 3

    Chef Salad
    Shelli C.

    The pizza was delicious. Half pepperoni half cheese. The chef salad was good as well.. The chicken tenders and fries were a disgrace which is why this got 4 instead of 5 stars

    Another fantastic find in Pigeon Forge area thanks to Yelp! We did our order online via the phone on the way to the parking lot as we headed out of Dollywood for the evening. Wound up doing pizza with different toppings on each half and so good. I think the dough was what made the huge difference here. Ordered a couple of salads and both were fresh and were well worth the cost. Glad they were open late, as options were a little limited after the theme park closed.

    Pizza was real good but the wings were soggy and tasteless. Very disappointed with what we got for the money we spent.

    I wish I could give this five extra stars…read more The food was hands-down amazing. Those biscuits or something to write home about, and the fried chicken was perfection! The staff are the friendliest I've ever seen. Everyone literally looks delighted to be at their job jobs.

    Sometimes the most frustrating restaurant experiences aren't the terrible ones…read more They're the ones that are so close to being really good. That's how I felt about Mama's Chicken Kitchen. I came in with high expectations. The restaurant has strong reviews, it's part of the Johnson Family of restaurants, and I've enjoyed several of their other establishments over the years. So I walked in expecting a meal that would have me planning a return visit before I even paid the check. What I got instead was one of the strangest cases of missing seasoning I've encountered in quite some time. Let's start with the positives. The people here are genuinely nice. Friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Everyone we encountered was pleasant and seemed to care about providing a good experience. The restaurant itself is clean, comfortable, and inviting. And the kitchen clearly knows how to cook food. The fried chicken was cooked beautifully. Crispy on the outside. Juicy on the inside. Exactly the texture you're hoping for when you order Southern fried chicken. The problem? The seasoning apparently called in sick. This chicken had all the flavor intensity of a weather report. No noticeable salt. No spice. No personality. It tasted like the chef had just completed community service at a nursing home and was legally prohibited from possessing a salt shaker. My piece of chicken was juicy and cooked properly. Unfortunately, my wife's chicken breast was noticeably dry, which didn't help matters. Then came the fried pickles. No seasoning. Chicken and dumplings. No seasoning. Coleslaw. Tasteless. At one point I started wondering if there had been some sort of building-wide seasoning shortage that nobody had told us about. The frustrating part is that none of the food was poorly cooked. Quite the opposite. The techniques were there. The textures were there. The execution was there. It just felt like someone got everything ready and forgot the final, critical step of making the food taste like something. This is a restaurant with good people, a pleasant atmosphere, and a kitchen that clearly knows how to cook. Now they just need to introduce their food to salt, pepper, and a few of their seasoning friends. Three stars. Because the potential is absolutely there. The flavor just never showed up for work.

    Unfortunately I have to agree with other reviewers; slow service, our waiter never came back to…read morecheck on us, and the food was not good. My fries were barely warm, and tasted like they'd been sitting at the bottom of the pan for several hours. My chicken tenders were OK. My friend ordered wings and said they tasted like they'd been reheated. We had to ask for our check. Our waiter seemed more interested in hanging out in the kitchen where all of them seemed to be hanging out and having a good time. (We could see in the kitchen from our table.)

    So how do you rate this place???…read more This was, without question, the worst experience I've ever had at a Buffalo Wild Wings. My family and I were seated and waited for nearly 15 minutes without a single employee acknowledging us. No server came to introduce themselves, take a drink order, or even say, "We'll be right with you." Multiple employees walked past our table, looked in our direction, and kept going as if we weren't there. After waiting and realizing no one was going to serve us, we got up and left. We ended up spending our money somewhere else. I understand restaurants get busy, but basic customer service starts with acknowledging that your guests are there. Being completely ignored is unacceptable. If this is the level of service you can expect at this location, I can't recommend it. The food may be great, but we'll never know because the service never gave us the chance. That's a disappointing way to treat customers who simply came in expecting a meal and basic hospitality.
