    Nice restaurant.but if I paid for my dinner that meal belongs to me,I should be able to take home what i don't eat.

      No you shouldn't be able to take it home because they only bring what can eat. They only bring what you can eat there.

    Food is good, but not great. Cost is a little high for what they have. Glad you mentioned the drinks "Ridiculous" $3.50 should be included since the way you have to order. Would go to Old Mill instead. Very similar menu and go to the Paula Dean store in Gatlinburg. Little late on the salad. Thanks for the review.

    I’ve been there a few times. Mostly good experiences, but did have a visit there where my wife and I did not like food that day. Maybe an off day? I just can’t get onboard with not letting people take home whatever food was already on the table. That creates a lot of unnecessarily wasted food, especially for the price you pay there. Take care my friends.

      And can only eat about a cup of food at the time ! That’s very unfair to their patrons! I’m like you this is a deal breaker for me also !

      I d go somewhere else. Very same reason card companies don’t give leftover cards away, someone will sell them at the flea market. No all you can eat restaurant lets you take home leftovers because people cheat and over order then want to take it all home.

    I think that would be a great place to go to for Thanksgiving dinner and even though it’s on the high side with the cost of groceries today for a family of four or five it still might be a better deal. I did Thanksgiving for 22 years straight and always spent between two and $300 by the time I bought everything for about 10 people. Coming back for the Craftsmans fair! Might have to do Paula Deen‘s this time!

    I went one time and I would go again, should I be in an area where they have them. I'm glad the broccoli casserole was good where you were. The one I had was really salty, but it could have just been that time and not normally. I think they should let you take home leftovers since they will be thrown away anyway. But, I'm guessing that since it is all you can eat that is why they do that.

    My family and I ate there once. We did not know that you had to tell them in advance that you wanted to take the desserts home. Our desserts were brought to our table and when we said we wanted to take it with us we were told we could not because they had already brought it to our table. The waiter was not clear on the fact we had to say we wanted it to go. So needless to say be sure you tell them you want it to go before the waiter walks away from the table to get to desserts. Over all the food we ordered was good.

    We just got back from the smokies and our experience with Paul's deens want that great. The mac and cheese was so dry you couldn't eat it and so was the broccoli and cheese. The fried chicken was ok and the meatloaf was ok (just ok, my wifes food puts it to shame). The corn was very Delicious and the mashed potatoes were good also. The service was lacking especially since they weren't very busy. Just my experience. Everyone told me how great it was and honestly it wasnt. We will try it again next time because everyone has an off day every now and then.

    While it may be considered pricey for a couple, it is a great value for a family. Kids are discounted based on age and it is all you can eat so go with an appetite. If you're looking for just a quick bite or a small meal, this isn't the place for that. She used to have a sandwich shop on the Island, but I think it closed during the pandemic. I didn't see it last time I was there this summer.
