Red's Drive-in - a woman eating a hamburger - Burgers Near Me - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

The food was good, and up until it was time to go the experience was fine. we got our food the server (Anna) stopped by and checked on us, she was pleasant and did her job. my youngest daughter asked for noodles, but then she saw her sisters tenders and wanted them instead. I tried to get her to eat the noodles or even take a bite, she wouldn't. I then tell the waitress when she went by she didn't comment or ask questions she just took the plate. then we get the ticket and they're still on there , I asked if something could be done because she just wouldn't eat them even replaced with something else, she couldn't really give me an answer just said she would get a manager, after several minutes he approached the table. I wish I knew his name because he was extremely unprofessional, didn't ask questions just said that's not something they do and then insinuated she just got full which then I clarified was NOT the case she didn't touch them. he blew me off completely to make several more compliments about her being young and it being a lot of noodles but that the the noodles were actually good. which had nothing to do with it she just wouldn't eat them. he even went as far as to say his server (Anna) told him she ate some and juts didn't want anymore which wasn't true she never ate any of them. The entire experience with staff ruined our experience with this location and we won't be back. read more

A decent spot with some good qualities, but it didn't quite blow us away. Reds drive in is a busy spot located in a busy Dollywood. The atmosphere was fine--clean and casual--but lacked that "wow" factor. Service was friendly, though a bit slow at times. Food-wise, there were a few standouts, but overall, it felt a little underseasoned or basic in spots. It's the kind of place you might stop by if you're in the area, but not necessarily one we'd go out of our way to return to. Still, there's potential here with a few improvements! read more

Took too long for my food for it to be bad food, not worth the wait. NEVER COMING AGAIN!!

We really enjoyed this stop for lunch at Dollywood, particularly how the history around the walls and 1950s style diner vibes. The service was quick, which was nice after a busy morning at the theme park. We especially loved the chili cheese fries and wish they had been more abundant with their serving of it, the burger was just fine, but it is elevated by having a toppings bar available. read more

Red's Drive-in - love the history - Burgers Near Me - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

Red's Drive In is more about the atmosphere than about the food. Patterned after a 50s diner where Dolly Parton grew up in there is a jukebox dating back to the period and various signs showing the drive in along with the history it played in Dolly's life growing up. The food is typical park fare food. You order at the counter and you are given a number with which to pick up your food when your number is called. Drinks are served in one of those machines that let you select what you would like, get ice and then put your cup underneath it to get your selection. Oddly enough this place has a vegan option here-a salad. Mostly cheeseburgers and fries including chili fries are served here along with a turkey wrap and grapes. Toppings such as lettuce, tomatoes, etc are served at a separate topping bar. The three of us ordered the cheeseburger with fries and a soda drink. I found the cheeseburger was the usual packaged style patty-very bland and well not my cup of tea. The fries were mediocre. Having dined at the Flower and garden festival this place is severely lacking in quality. If you are able to grab the samples at the festival, then you are really getting more bang for your buck there. However, this place is not a buffet which we were trying to avoid but at least learn more about Dolly's history on a replica of a street where she grew up in. read more

You want burger's, shakes or fries on the premises of Dollywood? Well, this is the place as you can see from the lines of six people at the register. Quite delicious burger which gave me the thought that I was back in the 50s or 60s and chomping into a real meat burger....after I put the add ons for the lettuce, tomato, mustard (no mayo for me, thanks) and such on the buffet style accouterments. Sure, the burger and fries is $10.99 but you are here at Dollywood, and burgers are a throwback to our childhood and is always good for us carnivores. Sure, they have Caesar salads, but beef is best! So find the place there inside of the premises of Dollywood and try and find a seat inside or out to enjoy your meal. read more

Food was good, order was wrong but to my side. Got two things extra of fries. Little confusing if first time, the combo are burger and fries no drink so be prepared for that. Burger came fast . Fries left much wanted. It's a 50s style diner. All burgers coke plain and you go to a bar to get pickles, tomato's, lettuce, ketchup etc. I could just eat the pickles. The soda is freestyle so the line for getting a drink is longer then food. Just lot of choices and so folks delay getting drink and moving on. Didn't help that 1/2 machines were down. 3 combos (2 with chili cheese fries) and 3 sodas came to $60. Very tight to eat so when I eat I was getting bumped into. No lids for sodas and straws are paper straws. read more

god that burger was some straight ass. i love you dolly, this ain't it tho. 20 bucks for a crappy patty

Barely edible! Weird garlic butter bun made me want to vomit. Dry tasteless meat. Worst than McDonald's or Burger King and cost twice as much!!! read more

Great burgers and always packed and busy. Be sure to get here as soon as they open so you're not waiting forever.

LISA. was horrible. she was my cashier and she was rude to extremes. i felt unwelcome and she completely ruined my day. she was being sarcastic and made snobby comments the entire time i was ordering. she deserves to be wiping tables especially since no body else was doing so. read more

Red's Drive-in - ... HORRIBLE SERVICE! - Burgers Near Me - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

This place looks like a 50 style diner. They have burgers, chicken, wraps, etc. no milkshakes anymore. Plus alot of seating. Plus facing lighting rod is areas for u to charge your phone: they have a area to get tomato's, onions, Mayo etc. plus they have Coke o cola freestyle machines. I do recommend this place as a place to cool off and get something to eat read more

No complaints, food was amazing, the placed looked great with plenty of seating, and the service was speedy.

$35 for one cheeseburger and fries then made the frozen hamburger wrong. Do yourself a favor and try anything else at Dollywood.

The employees are sooo nice. I was short on money, so they pitied me and paid for it. These people were literal life savers. I can't pay them back, but I can give them this review that displays their love for their customers. read more

Food is fine, cashier was awfully rude. Patricia. Told her we have a gold pass for the discount and she proceeded to rudely ask if we were wanting to order and said "anything else?" When I was going to give my gold card, she said "well I need to scan it hon". This is my first time with the pass so how would I know? Had rude and unwelcoming expressions the whole time. read more
