Pigeon Forge makes a rainy day look relaxingâŠI wouldnât mind being out đđ..this is how i discovered yâall, doing the Paula Deen review..I absolutely love her..she is such an inspiration to single moms đđ
Awesome! Thank you!
Really enjoying your videos I'm learning a lot. We vacation in Tennessee every year , we are from out-of-state. We've eaten at Paula Deen's six times, but we've only eaten dinner. Every dinner was absolutely delicious ! For dessert, I always ask for ooey gooey cake, and it has never been ooey gooey. Every time it has been extremely dry and a small piece. I can't understand it because it is so easy to make. I make that cake all the time. Give dinner another try just don't ask for the ooey gooey cake...Lol! You've opened my eyes to so many other things to do in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg that I didn't know about. Thanks!
I absolutely agree!!! Everything we ordered was EXCELLENT!!!
My son and his wife said they were doing Paula Deans then Apple Barn for lunch and finishing with the Alamo Steakhouse....I told my wife Iâd believe it after theyâve done it! They got to Paulaâs a little later and made Breakfast then they ate lunch at Apple Barn at about 4/5 so the Steakhouse became an Ice cream! They have big servings down there! Love the food and this pod cast!
I love your reviews. They answer just the type of questions I would ask. Very down to earth.
It's totally amazing how much effort the Americans put into the gifts, t shirt, mugs Etc ..... Amazing!
We have many things in big cities like London, but they are Crazy prices!
In my hometown they don't even have town t shirts or sweatshirts!
Wow to say the Brits are 50 years behind the Americans is an Understatement!
Thank you for sharing Red Sox
Food looked yum. Thanks for taking us along. Loved the big red hat on you, Dawn
Thanks for sharing. Me and my Dad are going to try this on our upcoming vacation.
Dawn - these have to me my FAVORITE glasses on you ever!!! So feminine and classy!
Live ur videos. Took a trip to Tennessee couple years ago for the first time. Watching ur video I wanna go back...
Heyyyy Yâall! Just found yâallâs channel and so glad I did. I subscribed and wish you all tons of luck with your channel. Great content, keep them coming!
The food looked so good. I'm happy you had a chance to try it. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Nancy
Love your videos! Very helpful for our East Tennessee trip. Thank you.
Thanks Greeg
My hubby and I enjoyed the video. As usual, you both make great videos. We love The Island. We always visit, when we stay in Pigeon Forge.
My daughter and her family are in Gatlinburg on vacation. I will be sure to tell them to check out Paula Deanâs restaurant. Thank you for sharing.
Love these guys
Awesome vids you two. Planning a trip to pigeon forge and your videos were a great help. Y'all make a great team! Keep it up
Wow! That looks so good! Thanks for taking us with you. We tried to eat there the last time we were there but it was too long to wait. Maybe next time. đ
Thanks Patti
I really respect her and her 2 sons for how she made a living when her son's were young in Savannah. She would make sandwiches and sell them to make money. That's what started her resturant "The Lady and Sons". The thing is that she did not stay with her true self and lost site of who she was and where she came from. Not trying to hate on her but it is what happens when some people get to big to fast.. She needs yo get back to her real roots...!! Dolly Parton is so much of whom she is. Dolly is true to her self and NEVER FORGETS WHERE SHE CAME FROM.. right there in the cabin up in the Smokey Mountains. But Dolly will tell anybody that her favorite place to eat is at a little gas station outside of Pegion Forge.
I have eaten at Paula's in Pigeon Forge,Myrtle Beach, and Savannah Ga. Loved them all but Savannah beats them all..what a place! The food there was just amazing
Thanks for sharing Karen
Lady and Sons is amazing!
Awesome video as always... safe travels yall
Thanks TheKyridgerunner
Wow, I had no idea Paula Deen's was that big. escalators up to the dining area, really cool! Thanks Will and Dawn!
Thanks Peaches
All the food looks good. Applewood bacon looks like it thick slice. Thanks for sharing. Iâll check it out when we go next. Have a good one
Thanks Gerrald
Ok, you get pickled!! Too funny!! We've never been to the Island. There's just so much to do in the Smokies. Y'all are so blessed to live there. Thank ya'll!!
My family and I ate at Paula Dean's last summer, and we enjoyed it alot. I'm glad we did that.
Great video and Great Guides with Great Food.
I love Paula Deen's!!! Best dinner ever!!! đđđ
Thanks for sharing Valerie
Hubby and I eat there last year we loved it..â€â€
Thank you for the review of Paula Dean's. I have not been there yet. I also love the cookie cutters to use to cut out clay patterns.
Thanks Mary
Love that place thanks for sharing
Thank you Country Living
My kids ate at Paula Deans a couple years ago for Dinner. They loved it. I refused to pay that much so we ate at a popular Mexican place in Pigeon Forge. I'll try it next year maybe. My kids had dinner and loved it.
Hi Guy's Paul's kitchen is right down my line Lunch's dinner's morning times two!!
Lovely Trip and Guy's yummy Food! Loved it awesome!!
Love your lovely video's!
THANKS GUY'S!
Thank you Marlene
@@yankeeinthesouth thanks Guy's you're truly welcome!!
We are in Texas. Looking forward to more great videos!
We go to Paula Deans every time we come to Gatlinburg ( twice a year). I have had breakfast, lunch and dinner there. The lunch and dinner is much better than the breakfast. The meats they offer at dinner are awesome! Spareribs, fried chicken, catfish. So good!!
We definitely have to try the lunch and dinner menu thanks Carol
You two are such a sweet couple.Thanks for sharing your breakfast with usâ€
Thank you so much đ€
We all love food so any videos on it is always greatđ we have eaten at Paula Dean's the only thing when we were done we were too full to really want to do anything elseđ sleepy too.. but it was good I would recommend trying at least once...Lots of places to eat around there... some of the best places are sometimes hole in the wall type places .... Are there any special hole in the wall places maybe known to mostly locals that are really great?đ Would love to knowđ or (suggestion only) video on " Great hole in the wall places to eat known only to locals" đđđ Thanks again for your views and reviewsđ ....ok I'm hungry now Dawn I think I want chicken đđđđđđđđ sorry Dawn đđ€
We were just there last week. I was disappointed not seeing the fall decor as we normally do this time of year. I seen the stampede and the three bears and a scarecrow here and there. Gatlinburg didn't have theirs out either.
I love a good HONEST food review like this! The 5-10 store was great too..latch hook...I did that back in the day :) great vlog you two...as per usual.
Thanks Chloe Mum
Dawn is so cute and sweet! We are going to Gatlinburg in 2 weeks and I watch yâall to see what to do! Thank you for making videos!
Thanks Hannah
Have you reviewed Timberwood Grill on the Island?
We a Timberwood grill on our library
Great channel guys!
You both look so cute. Dawn your have the most infectious smile. A person can't help but smile when seeing you smile.
đ
Wow! Had to subscribe because i soooo want to live/ retire in Tennessee! Makes me feel close to a dream.
Thanks Domox
Bacon is just "meat candy" đ...I've never had breakfast at Paula Deens...I've had both lunch and dinner there on several occasions and I have never been disappointed...thank you for the review đ
Thanks Bisletblackhawk
When we were there, my wife commented that Paula Deen's is like an up-scale Cracker Barrel, right down to the stuff to buy while you wait.
Thanks for sharing WK
Yes thats it exactly but I can see why the San Antonio one closed and Dallas one struggling. The brand new one in Branson barely open a year & closed 2 1/2 months for virus. I think they might have gone a bit overboard on the store -but hey the food looks okay and certainly generous!!
My neighbors compared Pioneer Womanâs restaurant in her hometown in OK and a Paula Deen restaurant. They both said Pioneer Woman was super quality and Deenâs felt more like a regular chain restaurant but good good too. They cant wait to go back to Ree Drummondâs place.
W K Hobby Lobby does the same and have better prices.
I love ur videos and think u and ur wife are amazing..simple and downhome like my family are
Thank you Gil
Amazing how rain doesn't show on video. Good video guys. I know it was a pain in the butt in the rain. I think Paula Dean's place sounds like a treat, but the breakfast choices are tremendous there, and some are wonderful. The breakfast competition is fierce there.
Thank you Tony
Loving these food reviews. Food looked great and menu looked packed. Will have to try there and all these other places I haven't been to that you reviewed once I get off this diet and into Tennessee lol
Just catching up and Dawn looks really pretty in this video. Dawn is so sweet and the food looks pretty good. Great job YITS!
So good
@@yankeeinthesouth I love watching videos with food! It's so hot in southeastern NC that you need a visual.
Nice video. Try Paula Deens for lunch. It is good!! Love the 5 and 10 store. U r right..
Goooood memories. Thanks for sharing and stay dry! đ đđđ
Thanks Deb
I had a record player like that one, too, Will. And I don't remember those moonshine pickles the last time I was at Ol' Smoky Moonshine (few years back). Those cherries are awesome, though.
Thanks Rob
The pickles are newer
I love this one , and I love Paula dean's. But we had a bad experience at dinner, I was heart broken, but glad you enjoyed your breckfast.
Thanks Brenda
what happened?
You said something to Dawn about Racoons, you reminded this Brit of when he lived in West Virginia.
Me and my wife heard banging in the back yard one night, I went to look and see what it was.
I turned the lights on in the back yard to see a Raccoon trying to get into the trash can ....LOL
I had Never seen a racoon before, he was such a friendly little guy, I stood there talking to him through the screen door while my wife was laughing her socks off at me! ....LOL
We don't have Racoons in England.
He was such a cool little charictor, he climbed up the tall fence and left.
He probably thought why does he talk funny! ....LOL
i love you guys. you a very nice couple. i enjoy your videos. thank you.
Thank you Diane
You need to try J.T. Hannah's Kitchen in Pigeon Forge if you haven't, I love the fried trout but my wife and I have yet to find anything on the menu that was not good. I was there a couple Saturdays ago and the bar tender highly recommended the ribs, he said they fall of the bone and I love ribs. I'll probably be back up there around early/mid February and definitely going to try the ribs. As always thanks for another awesome video.
Thanks Brian
Deputy Dawn to the rescue!!! Hope you and your family have a great Christmas!!!
Dang never new they made pickle moonshine. Thanks guys now I know where to go lol. I know I have said this 100 times come to Oakridge.
Maybe in the future thanks Mysti
Iâm all about Bacon đ„. We are going to have to try it!!
Thanks Nickie
We did Paula Dean's this past summer. We did a review and haven't ever released it lol. But our thoughts were... We decided on this for dinner in place of Old Mill on our trip. We regretted that. Not that it wasnt good, it just wasn't the country cooking. ~Dawn
Thanks Dawn
Emery five and dime looks cool. Ill check it out soon.
Thanks Michael
I want a Paula deen cut out for our fundraisers!love you Paula !
I went there on a trip in 2018. Service was cordial and impecable. The food was liciousâ (it was raining that day too)
The gift shop could prove to be financially crippling. And so could Dollywood craft stores.
I had the record player and the Peanuts Colorforms,,,,Damn!
That Dawn is my kinda girl. Honey I would have eaten those cinnamon rolls up too girl!!!!! We love Gatlinburg and go every chance we get especially at Christmas we rent a house for the family. Love the reviews u'll keep em comin!!!!
Thanks Sherrie
what kind of camera do you use?
I subscribed! My wife and I got engaged at the top of the ski mountain in gatlinburg. We then got married there. It's a special place to us.keep up the cool videos guys!
Thanks David
Next time I am in town I will have to try her out
Not worth the money
we did a tasting of the moonshine and oh my lord hat blue flame moon shine was soooo strong i could no handle it lol
Thanks ItsMeJessica
Where is the best place to eat breakfast in Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg in your opinion
We like Crockett in GATLINBURG and ylthe Little of House of Pancake on 321
my girlfriends sister makes strawberry flavored moonshine. never tried moonshine, but her's is very good!
Thanks Chris
Lunch is really good
Next time youâre at the island buy a jar of moonshine and take a shot every time you see someone with a Paula Dean haircut, that jar may last an hour at the most....đđđđđ
You go Dawn I would have killed the rolls also lol
We like applebarn for breakfast.
We ate supper twice at Paula Deen's a month or so back. Really good!
We didn't really care for Huck Finns or TJ Hannahs.
The cajun restaurant in Wears Valley is really good.
We ate Thanksgiving lunch at mama's farmhouse. Disappointing.
Mel's Diner is a neat experience.
We spend every fall, early winter in Tn.
We are fulltime rvers.
Thanks Anna
I had to laugh when the Sock Monkey scared Dawn LOL
If y'all get a chance, go to Paula Dean's Lady and Sons in Savannah, Georgia.
One of this days well make it there. Thanks Rebecca
Doesnât look appealing like the other typical breakfast spots in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Prices are expensive too. Canât bring myself to pay those prices for a breakfast. Iâll pass next tine Iâm visiting the smokies.
7 months after you made this video, we won't visit Paula Deen's anymore. The last time we went for dinner with friends and family that were visiting. The meatloaf was awful, dry and no taste. We wish they had said the ribs were spicy, nobody liked them. Her fried chicken is good, but for 5 people, they brought out two chicken wings. Husband asked for a breast and it did't come until we were ready to pay the bill. The sides were good. The wait staff was friendly, but his hands were tied over what the kitchen does. If you're visiting, it's a must go to so you can say you were at a Paula Deen restaurant.
We like eating at Paula Deen's. We have eaten lunch and supper there. The food was always good.
Thanks Doug6714
you would think they would have enough of everything especially a place that is all you can eat!
Emery's is my favorite! Dawn is so cute in this video! I like the length of her hair, it makes her look younger to fall loosely just beyond her shoulders. And she's a giggler!!!
Thank you so much Marilyn
what place in gatlinburg would you recommend for breakfast?
Pancake Pantry thanks Chris
Momma kitchen
I wish you would announce the date you shot the videos.
Hi John in the description box of each video it will say published date in the upper left corner take that date and minus 1 day and that's the date. The video I shoot today is uploaded on the next. Thanks for watching Johnđ
I want to go
That Big Red Hat looked good on you Dawn â„ïž
Thanks Beth
Love paula Deen !!
Thanks J Spradley
Wish i could write her personality & tell her how much she made a difference in my life,from watching her show in 2006 went from not leaveing my home to owning 2 restaurants & her banana pudding & brownies got me in countless local magazine's & news papers, thank you paula! You have helped me get out & that bad depression & iv been able to stay happy & still help all local charities, thanks again!
Hey guys this Brit has put 20 pounds on it a few days watching you're videos .....LOL
Have a great day!!
Thanks Red Sox
Hey guys, which would you say was better...mama's kitchen breakfast or Paula's ?
We liked Mama's Kitchen thanks Promise
I ate at Paula Deens after it first opened, I personally think, mama's farmhouse kitchen is alot better...Great Video....Thank you...
Moma's Farmhouse is my husband & mine favorite place to eat in pigeon forge.đ
Love Moma's Farmhouse, best place to eat in Pigeon Forge, Tn.đ
@@roselanemable3141... yes mam, I go to the area about 4 times a year and it too is my favorite place to eat...
We ate at Paula Dean's not so great.but Hands down Huck finn catfish was awesome..sorry Paula..but atmosphere was great...good job,đy'all are awesome...love your surprise endingsđđđđ
Thanks Darlene
Really enjoyed your video of Paul Deans restaurant! We heard a lot about it & were wondering about the prices! Looked good but I've been cooking like that since childhood & I'm from the North! Looked a little to expensive for us plus we could never be able to re-order! All you can eat isn't for us! Our favorite place to eat over there, one that we Drive about an hour just to go to, is The Pancake Pantry in Gatlinburg! Been going there for almost 30 years! Best burgers in town! We go at least 3-4 times a year, just to eat there! Prices are reasonable too! Have you ever eaten there? Keep up your fun work!
We are going to check. That out soon Thanks J JVan
The moonshine pickles are actually good
Thanks Donald
I would like to your drive in from Townsend. I hear it's a very hilly and curved road. I get car sick and I want to see if I can do the drive. I enljiy your blogs.
The evening meal when we went (June2019) was a wreck. The only two dishes that my husband and I liked were meatloaf and the collard greens. The corn casserole/pudding was dry and hard, chicken was cold and catfish was greasy. I have two of PD's cookbooks and could fix better at home than her PF restaurant. Sorry. If you get a chance, try The Local Goat! It was a hit and it is locally owned!
Me and my wife was there yesterday.It was bad.The potatoes were burned and they only have premade scrambled eggs with cheese in them.probably powered eggs and I know its supposed to be all you can eat but the proportions they bring out are small enough to feed a small child.Then the bill was almost 50$ for just us! The food quality was like shoney's we won't ever do that agian.đ
Thank you for sharing your food review Mike
Dawn your awesome đđ»ââïž
Thank you Shirlee
I like your take here on my home!!! Love living here, and you speak the truth. Blessings đđ»ââïž
You look so Beautiful Dawn !â€
Thank you so much
We had the heavy rain today too. It changed over to snow a few hours ago. Suppose to get couple of inches of snow. We have been under a flood warning for 2 hours now. Crazy weather. We ate lunch at Paula Deen's a little after it opened. The food was way too salty for our liking. I have heard others rave about the bacon. We will need to try breakfast there to get some of that bacon. They should give you at least 2 pieces of bacon each to start with since it is the only breakfast meat you had. I love that 5 & 10 cent store. We are always there when it is so crowded that you can hardly see anything.
Thanks Nancy
I was born on Paula Dean's bday...Jan 19th
Could you & Dawn do a food review of Moma's Farmhouse? That's my husband & my favorite restaurant in Pigeon Forge Tn. It's really very delicious.
We will soon Thanks
Ok. Thanks, can't wait. Merry Christmas Will & Dawn. đđ đđ
Mamas farmhouse is the best! It's our go to when we come down.
You should have told them to bring you the correct bacon, since itâs all you could eat anyhow. We ate at margaritaville when we were there. Nice area the island, lots of stores and the shuttle from the parking lot was a plus also. Please take your hat off when you eat in a restaurant, itâs disrespectful, maybe Iâm old school. But I enjoy your videos and I luv that area of Tennessee, we visit there from Ohio every year.
Thanks Michael
