- We have heard some negative opinions of Paula deans family kitchen recently and we haven’t been in a while so we decided to go down to The Island in Pigeon Forge Tennessee and have dinner and let you guys know the real scoop. Is it worth the money??
It is all you can eat!!
I haven’t been there but the total was $59 for two people all you can eat. The food looked decent and according to the posters it was good. I think $30 each for all you can eat is a good price in today’s world. You can easily spend $20 - $25 at McDonalds for one person now.
Totally agree. I don’t understand why so many people are commenting about their upset because you can’t take your leftover all you can eat home. That’s something that I thought was pretty widely known.
20.00 at McDonald's have you lost your freaking mind
Absolutely! I had not been to McDonald's in at least ten years. Decided to go. Took a look at the prices and said, no way. Have a local budget place that is way better and cheaper plus I can get a cocktail. And bring one of my dogs and sit outside and enjoy a beautiful day. Everything has gone sky high. I have to shop carefully.
@@brenda121143you must never eat out with more than just yourself
@@wdfamily_027 OP did say for 1 person. Just sayin. :)
Dora Charles was a long time cook who designed the recipes of Paula Deen's restaurant.. She learned her skills from her mother and grandmother. She is no longer employed by Dean and now works as a teacher and a cookbook author. Her book " A Real Southern Cook" is not about commercialism or making money ..its about quality ingredients prepared carefully.
I will have to check that out!
I will definitely check it out. Thank you!
Thank you-I just got her book (kindle version).
Dora herself said she helped “develop SOME of the dishes” [sic]. smh
Yum yum ❤❤❤
IMy family went to Paula Dean's. None of us liked it. Staff was very friendly, however, my mashed potatoes had broccoli mixed in it. They apologized and said the broccoli must have fallen into mashed potatoes as they dished it up off the steam table. Steam table at those prices? We didn't feel the food was any better than Golden Corral.
That’s too bad. 🙁
I've been to this area many times. Beautiful at Christmas.
Dollywood is the place to be at Christmas. Beats any place I've ever seen at Christmas. Breath taking.
Yes- we always go at Christmas!! It is beautiful!😍
Totally agree! I have visited on all four seasons and always a good time. I live in Southern California and my friends live in Asheville. I fly there, then do a mini road trip.
My ex husband and I have a smallish Mororhome and we did a cross country trip (several times) and always have a great time. I have six dogs and only take the little one and my ex has a medium sized dog and we take them with us. I split the rest up as they are all very well trained and they stay and guard our respective homes. He is up in Morro Bay on the Central Coast and I am in Santa Clarita.
I read an article yesterday that they will be closing Dollywood , it said unsafe rides but i wonder if it is because of the food shortages. I had a cabin there but decided to sell it a couple of months ago. I love it in Tennessee but with the gas prices and the food shortages it seemed best to sell broke my heart but I live in Mississippi
@@beckyhoffman9423 Hey there! I've researched this morning, and can't find any information on closing. I read they closed on May 8th because of severe weather, which made the rides Unsafe, they said. They re-opened on the 9th.
Dollywood is my favorite theme park, to me it's like another world.
I pray that doesn't happen
Where did you read that? They're even talking about a new Adventure there May 2024 of Dolly's life. The article starts off with the headline that it's closing, but if you read the whole article, doesn't sound like it to me. I hope not.
@@jennifermountaingirl It really is! We go often, I can't think of any place I'd rather go. Something for everyone.
Overpriced and we knew that when we went but we decided to go anyway because it was “Paula Dean’s”. I was not only disappointed but I was angry. The food was standard restaurant food that you could get at a chain like Golden Corral. In fact Golden Corral has a better variety and to me their food is better. She is trading on her name and not giving people anything special.
There is no way Golden Corral is better than this. What is wrong with you?
BTW, it's spelled,
DEEN.
You don’t get out much, do you Sandra?
Typical troll …
Looks Amazing 🤩😋❤
Very interesting review . The macaroni looks like it should been a bit more creamy . I have been in the area before it’s a magical town
Ate at Paulas in Nashville recently - the sides were ok, the ribs were too - the freakin' fried chicken was sooooo good!!!! I'm gonna go back for that alone!
I thought the chicken was really good too!
Great Video!! Thanks for sharing. I have to point out I was surprised the waitress at time marker 7:12, placed the pen on the table after collecting it from the floor. 😮
Ewww!
I lived in Knoxville for 4 years, and these two folks are classic east Tennessee! Thoroughly enjoyed the video, reminded me of neighbors from home!
Thank you!!😊
really enjoyed this - i would go there in a second. Everything looked yummy and now i’m starving and about to look up Paula’s recipe for that butter cake! Thanks for posting!
Thank you!!😊
This meal looked wonderful. I never understood the concept of the two entrees, etc. and you explained it where I could understand it. Everything looked so good and I would like to try it. I make her gooey butter all the time to give as gifts and treats and it is the best ever. Thanks for this review. Everything looked great. Those biscuits . . . .
Thanks!! I’m glad we were helpful and thanks for watching!!❤️😊
I went to the one in Myrtle Beach years ago and I wasn't impressed. Almost everything was cold, or luke warm. I believe had they been served hot they would have been more appetizing, but I expected something I didn't get. I was so excited to go to one of her restaurants and taste her cooking... I think my cooking is just as good, if not better. I know my mac and cheese is. My fried chicken is pretty bomb too. I don't know what I was expecting, but what we got was not it. I am glad you all enjoyed your meal. I did love going through the store. Your view was better than ours though... that would be cool to watch.
I have to agree with you. I like watching her make dishes, and I do all the time.
I'm not bragging at all but I'm pretty well known here for my fried chicken, my coleslaw, homemade chicken and dumplings, and biscuits.
In the past month I've cooked for 50 people. Yesterday was one of those days.
I'm tired today, but everyone left happy and satisfied, with to go plates.lol
I don't think it gets much better than fresh from home.
Away from home though, I do enjoy other people's food very much.
I want my food, hot and fresh.
@debbieriddle9429 wow!! 50 people is a lot! That’s quite the feat!❤️
@@jennifermountaingirl I didn't know quite how to describe it, but I think you nailed it, yes...a feat.
Have a great day.
The food from Paula Deen's Family Kitchen looked good. Thanks for a great video review.
Thank you for watching!!❤️
I've been to Lady & Sons in Savannah several years ago and it was very good. I like my food hot on the table not warm so not sure I would like just warm food.
Yes, I agree
I like food like I like my coffee: piping hot!
The food I had in Savannah was not hot and the wait was atrocious. It was mediocre. Won’t go again.
Thanks for your review! I like seeing places I've never been before
Thank you!😊
I’ve been to the one at Opry Mills in Nashville. The food was excellent. Service was too. Prices were high, but we anticipated it. Special treat.
That’s great- I wasn’t aware there was one there!
From where I live it could be considered somewhat affordable. I love sushi and sashimi and that is always an expensive evening even without sake or a cocktail. And $60 for two plus tip is a nice vacation splurge.
We had one in Tx but it was only open for 2 years . We went twice and it was ok, the chicken was awesome, but the meatloaf reminded me of school cafeteria food . Those biscuits are better than Red Lobster though . Our side dishes were ok , the okra was not cooked through . Of course the ambiance was nice and honestly the prices are not bad for all you can eat compared to Disney or other tourist places. We’re coming to TN in Oct and looking forward to trying new places . Y’all good very good details in this video
❤fromTX
Thank you!!😊
I will be in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge area in October, I can't wait!
I will never set foot on another foot on a Disney property. Way overpriced. I shouldn't hemmorage cash for a simple trip. Luckily no grandchildren. Then I would have to.
Interesting! The cost is like a nice restaurant. We're up in Minnesota and have never been to Tennessee. That would be so fun. Thanks for sharing!
You should definitely come visit sometime!!
I'm just about 1 and a half from there. We go several times, but haven't eaten at Pala Dean's
If you ever make it to St Louis.
Go to Sweetie Pie's it's a Southern Style restaurant.
They had a show on oh I can't remember the station that was on.
Is owned by an older lady and they call her Sweetie Pie.
She has her family working there.
I will look it up thanks!!
Sweetie Pies closed
Just looked them up, I am going to be in St Louis in a few weeks, they are permanently closed.
It closed because her son who ran the restaurant murdered her nephew who worked at the restaurant. They're all dead or in prison.
I have been there too! Two sets of our friends moved to Missouri and another in Illinois just over the state line and use the St Louis airport.
They took us to a few of their favorite places. I have driven through the area level times on a cross country road trip but never stayed more than a day or so. New places to discover!
I have eaten at that same Paula Deens restaurant at Pigeon Forge and thought the food was really good. I am a southern cook and my food is seasoned different, but that doesnt take away from the food I ate there. Like all cooking styles it is individual taste and does not necessarily mean the food isnt good.
Totally agree
I live in Knoxville and always wanted to go and try it out but never have …yet…on my bucket list though!
You won’t be disappointed!!😋
This was a lot of fun , thank you
Thanks for watching!!😎❤️
Perhaps it has improved since we ate there about 4 years ago. We go to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge often but after the first try there was enough for us and we haven't given it another chance. Happy y'all had a good experience. Happy to have found your channel. Peaceful days to all
Thanks!! We appreciate you watching!!
One opened in Destin, Florida a few years ago, I never ate there because it isn't a place for a single person. It closed in less than a year which really surprised me. Destin is a tourist town and has many good restaurants and all seem to do well.
That is weird!
An article I saw said the Branson one may not be far behind.
Expensive dinner for what you got
how do you mean not for a single person? just curious because I often eat out alone
High price and mediocre food. People don’t want to pay that! I’ve been to Savannah and will never go again.
It isn’t the best restaurant I’ve ever been to but the food is good and you get a lot of it. I’ve been multiple times
We used to have a great all you can eat restaurant in a town over from us, called Barnhill's and sadly, I think the Covid shut in got them. But they had pretty good food most of the time and a massive salad bar, and a baked potato bar, a desert bar, as well as all the country cooking mains and sides you could want besides fresh breads, soups and an Ice cream sundae bar too. I always am a little sad when I drive by the empty building. It was a huge building, I would give it an 8 out of 10 for the most part. There was another place my husband and I used to go to, that is permanently closed called Bryces Cafeteria down at Texarkana, Tx and they had the best food ever, the best peach cobbler in the world. 10 out of 10. It is very sad, because a lot of good places have closed down, and many more will close down with the inflation we have now. I can think of 8 or 10 great eating places that are just gone and won't be back.
Many of us don't eat a lot !
For the light eaters all you can eat might not be worth it
We enjoyed this video and subscribed to your channel! Looks delicious!
Thank you!
Thank you for posting, this place looks good
Thanks for watching!!
If you ever go to Savannah,Ga, go to Mrs.Wilkes Dining Room. I went there as a kid and still remember it. They serve southern fixins.
Hubby and I have been there several times (stood in line)….always stay at the Eliza Thompson Inn which is on Jones St. not far from Mrs Wilkes. We met her back in the 80’s. She signed our cookbook! Was a very sweet ol’ lady. Her daughter took it over. Not sure who runs it now but Mrs Wiles story was very interesting. Also always enjoy Paula Deen’s…always!
sounds like a nightmare! who wants to sit at a table with strangers like some old timey boarding house??
@@deborahvolz3591 line was a nightmare but well worth it.
It's been open since 1943 and it has worked for them so far and the food is way better than Paula Deen's by a country mile. 1 Country Mile= a tank full of Gas.
Yes,now that is some good souther. Cooking.Worth the wait!!
Hey it was $59 for all you can eat. Not bad since the portions were not gigantic and you could double up on all items. The place did remind me of Cracker Barrell with the gift store and all. Cracker Barrell is not all you can eat and the food is definately out of a can, the biscuits dry as a bone in the desert. The service is stiff and the staff like robots. I would try Paula's place. Looks better to me. Will give it a try. Thanks for the review!
Thanks for watching!!
Never eaten at her restaurants but have made her stuffing at thanksgiving and Christmas it is a killer for salt and carbs but is superb
Your video showed up in my feed, so I watched. I really liked it. You both have a nice, easygoing style, so I subscribed and gave a thumbs up.
I wish that restaurant was in my neck of the woods, the food looked delish, and that view!!!
Thank you- we appreciate you watching!
We ate at Paula Deen’s a few years ago and it was a really bad experience. The food was typical canned or frozen cafeteria quality. One thing I distinctly remember was the macaroni and cheese was dried out to the point you absolutely couldn’t find a single bite that was palatable. When we asked the waitress to replace it her response was “I’ll be happy to but it is all like that”! The portions were small and the prices were outrageous. Even if someone told us that they had improved I wouldn’t risk wasting my money.
I totally get that- it is very expensive.
There are a ton of better options in the area, even though our wasn’t bad…
I wonder if the staff were all bad cooks. We've ate there twice and it was delicious both times ❤
Yes , the Mac n cheese was dry, not cheesy and creamy like I thought it would be. The fried chicken was just ok, nothing fabulous. Think most are canned or frozen and warmed up. Not homemade 😕
@@rosemariemello6675a lot of time baked Mac and cheese is that way- very dry and mushy. I’m a saucy creamy cheesey kind of Mac and cheese person
We went to the restaurant in San Antonio many years ago. I was so disappointed. I really wanted it to be good as I love Paula. It was expensive and the service was poor. Needless to say it closed down not long after.
That was enjoyable! I'm glad the food is good. Got to stop there? Ooey gooey 4 sure 😃🎊
The butter cake is amazing!!
Thankyou for the overall favorable review of Paula Deen's restaurant in Pigeon forge. I am not sure what these naysayers of Southern down home cooking have in mind when they visit her restaurant. Is it a Michelin 5 star restaurant? No of course not ! It is meant to fill your belly and make you satisfied! I have been to the Nashville and Pigeon Forge locations, and we have always had great experiences. Friied Chicken -excellent, Meatloaf wonderful, Catfish tasty and hot, Pork chops- well a bit salty. The sides to get are Collard Greens, Broccoli Cassarole, Cole Slaw, and the Sweet Potatoes! We want to try the Pot Roast the next time we go. And that gooey cake is a treat to take home! Thank you guys for your review.
Sorry, don't know where those lines came from when I was commenting on the food. We loved it all.
That’s what we thought
You guys are really great..
Thanks, we appreciate you watching!
We went there in October we absolutely loved it I have never ate fried chicken that was so good everything was amazing the biscuits and butter yum
Glad to hear you liked it!
I live near Myrtle Beach, SC and they have a Paula Deen restaurant that I have yet to go to. After watching this, you have convinced me that I need to go check it out!!
It’s not gourmet- but it’s good!
Been to that one a few times and it’s good.
I have been there a couple of times. It is good. The fried chicken is great!
Good job Rich & Jen!
Thanks!
I’ve never had collard greens but I tend to love most greens. Are they bitter? The cobbler sounded good to me. Yum
Collards are not bitter if they are cooked long enough, this is a relatively new thing for me because growing up in Ohio my mother never cooked them. But I love them now. You should definitely try them if you have a chance. Just make sure you get them in a real southern place.
I LOVED Paula Deen’s. I love Southern style cooking. I can still taste some of the offerings…❤️❤️❤️
❤️😊
I won't be eating there. Everything looked dry except for the bread, I want that bread. I'll get the bread to go. Good video!
Right, none of it looked too good.
@Violet-fj8yd it wasn’t bad honestly!
I thought the meatloaf looked dry.
We went, took our grandkids, and really enjoyed it!! I wish I had known they had breakfast.
That’s great!! I haven’t had the breakfast!!🍳
Pretty much everyone I know who have been to both Pioneer Woman restaurant in Pawhuska AND several Paula Deen restaurants all say same. Ree’s store, and especially the excellent quality of the restaurant outshine Paula Deen’s in every way. Unfortunately, Deen operations seem to be about profit not quality Southern cooking. It is way too expensive for the poor quality. I guess as it’s in tourist areas they get enough business with one timers. If most are not repeat customers, it’s not a problem for them.
Where is the Pioneer Woman’s restaurant?
@@jennifermountaingirl Pawhuska Oklahoma, it's north of Tulsa
@@maggiehopkins9038I wouldn’t give the Drummonds a nickel of my money. Billionaires who own the town and half the state
@@warrenzevon8635 pioneer Woman conglomerate has done a great deal of good for the town.
Glad you had a good meal at Paula's. We have always had good experiences there overall. I see she is going to be at the Island this weekend. Great review!
Thanks! Been watching you guys, you’ve had some good ones!!
That's a great price actually. Looks like a nice meal in a nice restaurant.
We enjoyed it!
Took my parents there while on vacation but will not go back again. The chicken was good but the pork chops, turnip greens and black eyed peas were all spicy and not eatable. Our bill for 3 was over $90 dollars. I really don’t understand why restaurants have to make the food spicy.
It’s probably just me but the side dishes were almost funny. About 3-4 T of food in each one.
Not edible at $90!
That's expensive
Spicy?
I can't imagine hot spices in those food items except black pepper.
What do you mean by spicy?
Like Thai food? Like Indian food? Like Mexican food?
If it was pepper it was a lot. I thought it being her restaurant it would be southern cooking but it was no good
he Fried Chicken is scrumptious along with the Mac and Cheese and Creamed Corn as well as Fried Okra. Chewy Cake is awesome!
So good!
I'm sure they appreciate feedback whether it's positive or negative, but always keep in mind could you run a restaurant?
I did and is not an easy occupation. And if one has a full liquor license it can get crazy. My brother still has it and they will most likely put it up for sale next year. They want to retire and move out of California since it is not favorable to retirees. It is very expensive to live here. They will travel around till they find something they love
Right now Grant's Pass, Oregon is on the top of the list, but could change. I will take their dogs so it will be cheaper to travel, not always easy to get a good dog friendly hotel.
I live in So Cal, so the chances of ever eating at a Paula Deen restaurant are slim to none. The reviews here in the comment section were generally dismal and from what I saw it seems to be a typical chain restaurant. Presentation of the food and ambiance of the restaurant itself left a lot to be desired. But If you enjoyed your meal that's all that matters. I just stumbled upon your channel and enjoyed your upbeat personalities and can imagine the fun you must have traveling around in your RV with the sweet pooches. ❤
Well thank you!! I just commented to someone that they should remember going in that it’s an all you can eat buffet- for around 29.95. Is it gourmet? No. Is it horrible? No. It is what you would expect..decent, and a fun experience in a tourist area… we do have a great time traveling and we love our fur babies!!❤️
@@jennifermountaingirl : It *DOES* sound like a fun lifestyle. You're right about the restaurant. Just not for me, but I can see how the "all you can eat" aspect appeals to some folks. Even in Vegas I stay away from buffets....I can never eat enough to justify the price. I cook at some so when going out I prefer 'special occasion' restaurants and just accept that it's going to be a bit of a splurge.
Thank you for responding, Jennifer.. I didn't expect a personal reply from a vlog that was posted quite awhile ago. I'll be checking in regularly on your adventures. Whilst born & raised in CA I have roots in Ky. Best wishes on the success of your Channel, dear. 🚐
@@jennifermountaingirl ; 👍
DO NOT go unless you like southern style food.
Love Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. My girlfriend and I love going to the Craftsman Fair at the Convention Center in Gatlinburg. We do a long weekend and stay at a local hotel or B and B. I prefer the October show over the June or July show, and we have done both. I find really great things and stock up on gifts for an entire year. UPS Store loves me when I come to town. I ship everything back as it is much cheaper than the airline and also cheaper than USPS. My girlfriend lives in Asheville and I fly out of LAX to Asheville and always have to change planes somewhere and I prefer going through Charlotte.
Paula Deen's is probably one of the very few restaurants we have not tried. We eat and drink through the South when I visit. And have a blast! I am going back in October and can't wait! Have been saving all my money!
Seems to me you could get the same meal at Cracker Barrel for half the price. Thanks for the video ..
And get 100 times better food at CB. I ate at the one in Gulf Shores AL. Price high, food terrible.
Cracker Barrell had goofood before the pandemic. Not so good anymore and usually comes out cold.
@patsyjohnson3963 We travel a lot and Cracker Barrel seems to be hot and fresh when we visit!
@jennifermountaingirl
I'm glad. I eat locally, and it is bad more times than good. Their breakfast are always good, and Sunday's are good most of the time.
There was one in San Antonio, Texas but it closed. Nothing to brag about. Didn't go back!
It’s funny how you can go to chain restaurants and have a great one and then a terrible one you would think they would have the same criteria to follow.
I would love to try that kitchen. Mos def!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
The gift shop is amazing too!!
Paula Deens in Branson is great! We always eat there at least once and have never had a bad experience!
Glad to hear!! Ours wasn’t bad but I guess it’s a mixed bag on here!
IF YOU LIKE THE BUTTER CAKE LOOK UP A RECIPE FOR CHESS CAKE SAME THING AND CHEAPER THAN THAT MIX
Thanks!
Chess Cake is Amazing.
You guys are amazing you remind me of my parents if you had Canadian accents
😂😂❤️
Biscuits looked wonderful oh my gosh, I would go there just for the biscuits. I’ve never been to her restaurant we live in Southern California. Maybe this should be put in my oh my gosh maybe I should put this on my bucket list. They do one day all the food looked wonderful thank you so much for sharing it with us. Yummy yummy for my tummy.
Your welcome thank you for watching the channel
You will be disappointed. Leave it off the bucket list. Cracker Barrel is better.
I went to the one in Branson & was so disappointed. We got the meatloaf & ribs. Meatloaf was dry & cold. Ribs were way to sweet. Sides were ok. Nothing special. Except the biscuits - those were amazing.
Very fair and nice video! I love fried chicken and 'can cook' but most of the time, just don't want to go to all that trouble now the the kids are all grown and out the door, so unless it's a holiday when we want fried chicken, my husband and I enjoy someone else doing the work...so I appreciate these videos giving the scoop🙂
You and me both!
Great video. Made me hungry.
Thanks for watching!!❤️❤️
We went to the Savanna one and we loved it!!
❤️❤️🤩
We had them cater our son's wedding at Tybee Island... it was just average, I could have done better for way cheaper.
I personally don’t care for haute cuisine I go for homestyle good cooking
Same here
If you're ever in Dallas, Babes Chicken Dinner House
I would love to go, but unless there is a children's portion menu, not being able to take anything home, not Worth the money for me. I can get 2 to 3 meals out of a typical regular ser ing. I ALWAYS have to take most of it with me.
Maybe they would let you do a child’s portion?
One opened in Fairview Texas. We went once and it was terrible. The food was not good and very overpriced. It closed within 2 years.
I always wonder, must be bad management….
@@jennifermountaingirl It is the management that makes or breaks a restaurant. Have heard that many times before.
I had the chicken pot pie once it was the worse. It was a bowl of chicken soup with a square piece of puff pastry on top that was so dried out I could even swallow it.
Ate at Paula Dean's in Myrtle Beach and loved it.
That’s great!!
I ate there once with some friends, disappointed, food wasnt great like i thought it would be. Ive had better at a local diner for half the price .
Experience it if you must but be ready to be totally disappointed and angry 😡
I loved their food it was really good 😊
I’m glad you had a good experience!
Paula's recipe on youtube for gooey butter cake is very good. That one you had was very thin. I make one for my daughter for her birthday every year. The difference between most recipes and Paula.s is she puts melted butter in the filling also. I made her recipe this year and was one of the best I had made.
I bet it was way better homemade!
I ate at her restaurant in Fairview, Texas and our party of 6 was not impressed at all. I guess others have felt the same because it closed several years ago. The peach tea was good and the store was nice though.
We liked the store, the food was comfort food.
We live in Georgia. My daughter and I went to the Savanah restaurant several years ago. It was more buffet style but good and hot. Fantastic fried chicken.
That fried chicken is good, thanks for watching our channel
Looks great there. I always loved Paula Deen.
Me too, have a few of her cookbooks!
Store at the end like a cracker barrel.. fun... if the food is delicious its nice to treat yourself once in awhile. Life is too short not to enjoy it!
I enjoyed this very much!
Thank you!!
The ooey gooey butter cake is the St Louis staple called gooey butter cake found it here St Louis
Like most St Louis regional foods it was a mistake on delicious!
Keep on keepin on ❤️✌️🤓👍
Our first meal there was excellent. We talked about it all year. The next meal was NOT good. We're afraid to try a third time.
On this visit, we had not been in a couple of years and we were wondering if it was going to be any good or not. I think a lot of times these things seem to be hit and miss depending on how busy they are and how their staffing is going. Unfortunately, that makes some of these less than dependable places to plan to eat.
On this visit, it had been several years before we had eaten here. We were wondering if it was going to be good or not. Unfortunately, I think a lot of that hinges on how busy it is here and how they’re staffing is doing. Sadly that makes these places less than dependable sometimes to eat at.
Corporate takes over and dumbs down the food
Man thats a skinny butter cake !!! Im from st louis and this would get thrown back . St louis is the home of this cake !!
Several people said it seemed a little skinny!!
I think it's funny people think she invented it. I have relatives in St. Louis and I had some there. Hers is a replica.
I think that is pretty reasonable priced. Considering today's prices. Looks Pretty good food.😊😊
I agree
It looks good.
I liked it, it’s a fun stop at The Island!
Another great video
Thank you!!
Leo!!!
Love that place- Love Love Paula Deen ♥️
Patricia
I LOVED the store there!!!
We are at the one in Savannah a few years ago. I mean nothing bad but I don’t remember it…I guess that’s a sign.
That’s usually a sign for sure!
Who goes to a restaurant just to order over priced meatloaf?
Well, we went there for the experience. It was actually a fun dinner. The food wasn’t bad, although it wasn’t anything super spectacular. It was all you could eat and really not that much per person in today’s market.
I agree that it’s over priced and I only tried it once, and that was because it was Paula Deen, and people saying that it was good. The food was only ok to me, I’ve had much better at other places. When I dine at a place that says “Southern Home Cooked Food or Soulfood” I expect it to be better or as good as I can cook myself. Paula Deen was not. The Mac and cheese in the video looked like just that macaroni with some cheese, I like a baked macaroni and cheese with eggs, cheese and milk along with some seasonings. It’s been years ago since I went to her restaurant in Savannah, but it was a one and done for me.
I’d eat that all day but the price is a bit steep
You don't need her over priced cake mix . You can make it with a regular store bought cake mix . At $7.99 for the mix you are being ripped off .
We went to Paula's in Branson. It was terrible, tasteless and expensive. We did enjoy the gift shop, that made up for the family kitchen.
looks really nice there at Deen's
I live in Savannah and have only eaten there once. I thought it was crap!
OMG Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Just some of the most beautiful country which rivals some European countrysides.
It is gorgeous!!❤️😎😊
I have beento The Lady And Sons in Savannah and the one at the Island and they never dissapoint.
I’d like to go to the one in Savannah..
Hello from Gatlinburg...I heard the meatloaf was amazing from a subscriber🌄🏞️🐻
My meal tasted like a. Salt lick. Someone must have dropped the salt shaker in the food.😮
I don’t use much salt so I definitely noticed that.
I went there because of the name tbh last fall in Savannah. Mixed reviews. Beautiful building. But overall the food was just okay. Overpriced. The creamed corn was the one shining store. It was very good. My waitress was awesome, a mom with 6 kids. Crystal Palace in Savannah way better for food and price. The locals go there.
I would avoid the place based on the last name. Has she moved past her ridiculous plantation themed crap in her life?
Store was super super cute. How a lot of cute things.
Yes they do!
Peach tea. Husband loved it!
It must taste better than it looks because only the chicken and biscuits look decent!
It did!
Bill was not too bad anytime you eat out it’s expensive I live in Southern California and most of the time the meals cost about $25-$30 apiece so it looked pretty good and considering it included dessert think you got a steel
Thanks for the comment, we thought the price was fair.
Food always tastes better when your hungry
Will have to try it. Visited Savannah years ago and it was ok.
Haven’t been to the location in Savannah!
