    Summer was our server, and she was great! She was helpful, attentive, and thorough. Ask for one of Summer’s tables! You’ll be glad you did.

    Visiting friends in Tennessee, celebrating both wives birthdays. Animal Friendly patio. Waiter was Justin, very friendly and polite. Steak and shrimp was ordered and the salmon, with wings as app. All excellent choices. Justin brought out ice cream sundaes, for birthday desserts. Visiting our friends and Calhoun’s in Pigeon Forge was wonderful. We will be here again!

    It was fine. Steak was cooked well, but service was slow. It took forever after a long day and we didn’t arrive until 8pm. Ordered the top shelf margarita and had to send it back. It was horrible. Staff was friendly. Loud environment in a typical chain restaurant setting. As I’d said—it was fine. I wouldn’t go back though.

    We were seated 20 min after reservation time which was not bad because they were very busy. We ordered and waited an hour for our main dishes to arrive. Thankfully the appetizers came in a timely manner so we had something to eat. We will not go back to this location due to the wait time for food.
