    This restaurant needs much better ventilation. It smells. People were cooking with both the fried style and the mini-blackstone grills, and the whole place was smoky. The layout is weird. They don’t mix your cheese or dessert fondues at the table (maybe this is a new thing at all Melting Pots; I don’t know). It just didn’t feel like a nice/special night out in any way.

    We love the melting pot and last night’s dinner was again another amazing night. We were celebrating our anniversary a week late and told our server, he brought us a plate decorated with happy anniversary and a rose. It is little things like this when the restaurant goes the extra mile that keep us coming back.

    Service was exceptional as usual, the food was delicious, and the overall experience was enjoyable. We’ve had the pleasure of dining at this particular location multiple times. We have never been disappointed! As residents of Atlanta, we dine out often but your location is top notch and family friendly. The polite manager made sure to check in with us which we greatly appreciated. Even the locations in GA do not measure up to the Gatlinburg and Knoxville locations. Keep up the excellent work. We will be back!

    Nice experience. Our server, Aslan, was outstanding! Very nice young man that took the time to make sure we understood how to order and what we were ordering. Pleasant environment. Decent food. Pricing is/was EXCESSIVE in our opinion. (In fairness, Pricing was clearly marked but very expensive. Nearly $500 including tip with NO alcohol for 2 adults/2 older teens). Good experience but the price tag makes it a one and done for us, most likely. (And no, we’re not brokees but we’d kinda like to stay that way and this AIN’T that. 🤣)

    It just isn’t as good as it once was. Our service was not good, the food was okay, and the hassle of battling traffic just isn’t worth it. You also now have to pay to park, previously it was included.

    Food was so bland , no taste and the portions are small for the price. Add in you have to do your own cooking. 😡Too expensive and tasteless.

    We celebrated my wife's 50th birthday at The Melting Pot in Gatlinburg, a spot we’ve loved throughout our 18-year marriage. This experience, though, stood out beyond all our previous visits thanks to our server, Dillion. From the start, his knowledge and passion for creating a memorable evening were evident. He guided us through every detail with patience and enthusiasm, explaining each sauce, meat, and cooking option thoroughly—from temperatures to oils—helping us make the best choices to enhance every bite. His understanding of the menu and dedication to ensuring everything was perfect made us feel genuinely cared for. As a party of five, we never felt rushed, and Dillion’s attentiveness extended throughout our two-hour meal, making each course feel like an experience in itself. From the salads to the sides and each fondue stage, he crafted an unforgettable dinner that felt as special as the milestone we were celebrating. We’re grateful for his exceptional service and look forward to coming back, hoping for another incredible evening with Dillion as our server.
