There are places to sneak and park.

No coffee, soda or chocolate milk

Ok one thing you forgot to mention is when its cold out side is when you go to the pantry its cold you stand outside also the same at crocketts. When you go to the log cabin pancake you stand out on the porch but theres a heater above you so you stay warm while waiting. You never got the same food at the resturants so you really didnt compare much. You didnt try the eggs or taters at logcabin

Hi, came across your channel a couple days ago and just want to say thank you. It is exactly what me and my wife needed. We are from the UK and slowly planning our future trip to the smoky mountain region to have our family type dream cabin holidays. Couple years away yet type holiday. Anyway once again, thank you for the videos. Making it easier for us tourists who have yet to experience the region.

We love this arcade and restaurant!

I'm so glad your channel exists. Video after video have been exactly what I'm looking for. Keep up the great work! This was perfect to see it all broken down for a Dad who has three kids 10 and under. I honestly had no idea they had roller coasters for kids at Dollywood.... If you don't mind me asking, since I didn't see it in the video. If my kids are scared of the adult rollercoasters, is there any reason I should buy the TimeSaver pass? (we are going during the beginning of October which I hear is a busy time there). Thanks for the tip!

I love your videos. There so informative. I'm planning a trip for me and my daughter soon and your videos help a lot!

Great review! I'm visiting next week and this was an extremely helpful video.

Family style is dumb. My wife doesn't eat nearly as much as me, and agreeing on what the foods are would be a challenge. And the kids, too? Shelling out $25 per person (plus drinks and tip) for food we're not all excited about is not a recipe for my business. Sorry, Paula, but it's a no for me. Taking that tourist dollar, though! Whoop!

The food is good and there's lots of it with huge portions. Our family is grown and there's just two of us now so the amusement stuff doesn't interest us. Azul is within sight of Guy's and if you like Mexican you'll love Azul!!! If you have a small group get the Tomahawk Pork Chop and Nacho Azul appetizer and share it all! Amazing stuff and you can thank me later. Lol

We've been there every time of year and our favorite time is the first whole week in January! You've got the whole place to yourself, no traffic, no crowds, no lines, CHRISTMAS LIGHTS STILL UP, and the lowest motel rates of the year! We stay at Howard Johnson's downtown for 5 nights (Sun-Fri) for $40/night and $200/5 nights TOTAL !!!!! You can walk to everything in Gatlinburg and pay for no parking!! (BTW, eat at Seasons 101- for the chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries, Azul for the Tomahawk pork chop, LeConte Tapas-for everything, and Olga's Yodel for fabulous cinnamon rolls & the Donut Friar for donuts.) Fabulous vacation!

We've been to Crockett's twice and the only thing they had going for them was the AMOUNT of food you get but it is mediocre at best. It's like Cracker Barrel on steroids. Same food, just more of it. It's just hard to mess up eggs, ham, & biscuits and they all taste about the same everywhere. So we heard ravings about the cinnamon roll and we got ours to go and it came with no icing! (Go to Olga's Yodel if you want a truly great cinnamon roll). We've been to Log Cabin several times and it was mediocre at best too on everything we got. Pass. If you've been to Pancake Pantry before then why on earth are you ordering anything other than their specialty pancakes???? You should know better! Nobody is even close to them in Pancake World! Lol. (Plus the French Toast is awesome!) Next time be smarter and compare apples to apples and put Crockett's against Old Mill, Five Oaks, and Applewood for the best down home country breakfast. But in pancakes, the Pantry's signature pancakes stand alone. The rest we can get similar around hime but pancakes Pantry good, are only at the Pantry! BTW, that thin runny syrup is what REAL maple syrup looks and tastes like.

why is everything backwards?

Thank you for making this video! I was already on the fence about adding this to our trip. I really appreciate your honesty at the end. There's so much to choose from around Pigeon Forge, and I can confidently pass on Dig'n Zone now that I've seen your video. My kids are just a tad too old for it. Thanks again!

Sugar and milk in my coffee

Very well done! Excellent! Thanks!

Very well done! Excellent! Thanks!

Guy Fieri is without a doubt an amazing person. I've watched every episode of Guy's grocery games. It's my dream to eat at flavor town. Thank you for sharing.

I'm kind of a syrup snob. Thick syrup usually means 100% high fructose corn syrup. Light, 'watery' syrup is likely a natural maple syrup. Do you have any idea if maybe the last restaurant was 100% maple syrup?

Oh and in answer to your coffe question, tea please! Nothing like a good 'ol British stereotype! I realise I'm goingto struggle for decent (Yorkshire) tea in Tennessee!!!!!

Looking to get a copy of your guide but I'm in the UK so don't have a US phone number, do you have a dummy number I can input without messing anything up for you?

Just went there today! Very disappointed! Chicken fried steak not good at all. Meatloaf,really really bad. Pot roast, like a salt lick. The ribs, just go to a BBQ restaurant that prides themselves in ribs and good sauce. Mrs Dean shame on you.

If you want a break from Carnival attractions, visit on of the largest Arts and Crafts locations in North America. The Arts and Craft community off Glades Rd is really nice and makes many wish Gatlinburg had more of that than all the Mountain Coasters, Chair Lifts and Carnival Attractions over taking the area.

For years we parked at Christ in the Smokies for $5 all day. Perfect central location next to the chair lift. Sadly the Sky Lift bought them out and demolished the Christ in the Smokies museum to create the larger parking lot you see today and increased the price to I believe $20 now.

We always enjoy Paula Deens Restaurant. People need to realize, Restaurants are like music, just because a KZfaq Vlogger doesn’t like a particular Pizza Joint or Restaurant doesn’t mean the Restaurant is terrible and should be avoided. Everyone has different tastes and expectations. I do really like this channel but others may have a different opinion….See how that works? lol.

I tried Pancake Pantry and it was fine. I arrived about 10 minutes before it opened and was eating when the place filled up - great tip! I walked past Crockett's several times - gotta try that hash on my next trip. I must say that service in the area was excellent everywhere.

I have to agree with you! My family loves all 3 of these places, and we have to visit them all when we come for a weeks stay. They are all quintessential Gatlinburg icons! If you need a great lunch, I have to recommend the Log Cabin Pancake House. The beef vegetable soup is fantastic.

Was just in Pigeon Forge for Fathers day 2024. Love this place and love the area. Unfortunately the Margarittaville Coffee shop is going away and they are renovating to a Starbucks. The Island isnt to badly packed either. Heck Dollywood was amazing and not over packed. My family and I are already planning our next trip back to Pigeon Forge. Thanks for the idea of the wrist bands, we did not know about these and our 3 yr old and 10 yr old will def get some use out of those for $40 a piece. You got yourself a new Subscriber, going to keep watching some videos to see what all there is to do and what we have missed out on from our last 3 trips to Pigeon Forge / Gatlinburg. and for anyone going to Gatlinburg and want some good Sea food, Bubba Gumps might be pricey but it is DELICIOUS!!!

Great review. I hope industry groups consider gathering there with their families for events.

I went about 8 yrs ago and I loved it. The chicken reminded me of my momma’s and the ooey gooey cake was to die for! I’m going back soon and I hope it’s still the same

I am going to be bringing my 6 yr old grandson to the Smokies in a few weeks and I have really been enjoying your reviews of different things to do there with kids. He is super excited to ride some of the mountain coasters. I am really glad I found your channel. I have subscribed. Thanks for these awesome review videos. Have a great day!

Thanks for the video! My sisters and I are going to Pigeon Forge in August and Hillbilly Golf is on our to do list, so this was great to see!

It’s funny how they all claim to be the longest. Enjoyed the video!

Wouldn't go to Pigeon Forge town leaders are corrupt

Nope.

bout stupid...but about right for PF amusements...as they are referred to

Video was great but the music was unbearable.

The background music that played on repeat for the entire video drove me nuts. Otherwise, great video.

The water show reminds me of Waltzing Waters that used to be in Fort Meyers in the 80s.

Sky Fly is really an awesome ride. I loved it.

Now you gotta do the Gatlinburg Coasters!! Definitely need to compare them all. We rode Alpine at night during our last trip and they had a Rainbow Road Mario Kart theme which was awesome.

I was actually glad to hear your review, as my husband and I felt exactly the same way. I’ve heard from so many about how great it is, but that just wasn’t our experience. We were somewhat disappointed in the food. Like you said, the view was great, but I think we overpaid for our food, considering it was just “okay.” My husband says I cook better than what we got any day of the week.

As a local to the Smoky Mountains area, for us locals the cons are tourists. Dealing with the traffic , rude drivers, and how inconsiderate they can be makes it very unpleasant during tourist season.

I agree with your review

We went here a couple of years ago. The food was horrible. And, the service was very mediocre. There are a thousand places (including my kitchen) that has better southern cooking. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

I absolutely love this! Thank u for making this video this really gives me the best idea on what to take my family to ride when we come back up there in June!

We were at The Island location in April and left very disappointed. Had better meals at lesser known places. First the food was cold. The Mac n cheese was tasteless and the pot roast was so salty we couldn’t eat it. We also saw people taking dessert to go so asked our waitress for this as well. She very rudely said she’d have to take our food away before giving the dessert to us. Then came back and threw the bag on the table. I guess they’re worried about people stashing the food in the dessert bag which was knotted. Never again. I guess my expectations were too high.
