Reviews for The Front Porch Cafe in Pigeon Forge, TN

This is my most favorite place to get fried green tomatoes ???? We have been here twice now, they stopped doing the all you can... eat but still very pleasant with the new simple menu. It was very busy the last time we came because they are filming inDollywood. Read more

The burgers were a bit pricey but worth it .. love it!

The food was great! They were out of the special drink peach tea? The guy busing the tables squirted me twice with disinfectant... knew he had and didn?t even say sorry. The service was slow but did get better and it wasn?t busy. The ribs were prepared verywell! Read more

Mixed feelings; we came because we have a gluten allergy. The food and menu clearly shows which items are GF. The waitress and... staff were clearly overwhelmed and frustrated at the busy afternoon. It puts a damper on your experience when you don?t even getto sit down and the host and the waitress are arguing about seating us. They fought and then didn?t really tell us where we weresupposed to sit. The waitress was visibly frustrated and just had a poor attitude. My husband asked for a burger with a glutenfree bun- and she said ?well when we run out of those gf buns we?ll put a regular bun on?. For someone with allergies?that wasalarming. We got our food and they brought him a vegan burger?.which isn?t what he ordered. He also said it was freezing. Wedidn?t want to cause any more issues for her so we just ate and left. It was disappointing because we were excited to havesomewhere to sit down and eat and make sure we didn?t have any allergy issues in a popular theme park. Read more

Fast service, great food, and generous portions, with a covered deck dining area (with ceiling fans).

Short Review: A wonderful place to eat at Dollywood with delicious food and wonderful staff. Longer Review: We were at... Dollywood the other day and it was a scorcher. Most restaurants we saw were outdoor seating, and we just weren't down for that.We needed somewhere to cool off and enjoy our food, and The Front Porch Cafe was the perfect place! We checked in at 1:43 pmand were told there would be a 30 - 45 minute wait but that they would get us in sooner if they could since we were only 2people. We received the text that our table was ready at 1:57 pm. Of course we were very happy & grateful for the short 14minute wait. The restaurant is family-style all-you-can-eat. You get to pick 2 meats and 3 sides. My fiancee & I chose the ribsand flounder for the meats. We chose the garden salad, green beans, and mac & cheese. Everything was SO good! My fiancee saidthe green beans gave his grandma's recipe a run for their money. The mac and cheese reminded me of my great grandma's. I don'tthink food can receive higher praise than that, to be honest. Additionally, the ribs were cooked tender & served with adelicious sauce, the flounder was seasoned & cooked wonderfully & also had a sauce that paired nicely, too. Oh, their sweet teawas like a sip of sweet summer sunshine too. Read more

Make your reservation ahead of time right when you enter the park. We did for a few hours after arrival. A quick stop to get us... through for the rest of night. Bathrooms inside for patrons. And before you leave, ask for a refill in a to go cup so you havemore to drink through the park! Read more

Nice little restaurant that has some homemade flavored options. Kids meals are excellent especially with the curly fries. ... Adding chicken to their Wedge Salad wasn't a great idea as it was dry and overpriced. Still a good value especially with theGold Pass discount. Read more
