Paula Deen's Family Kitchen

Visited multiple times with a party of five and experienced excellent quality every time. Family style meals are way more food than you can eat and be aware there are no takeout boxes except for dessert, which is prepackaged so you don't accidentally slip a chicken leg in the bag to save for a late night snack. Biscuits are available for the table but I don't waste valuable stomach capacity and prefer to wait for the meal. Decent bar menu, fun drinks like a smoke old fashioned with lots of marichino cherries. Hostess are always welcoming and smiles abound. Servers are friendly and attentive. Our most recent visit the server was also very kind to our brother who has ASD and wanted to shake her hand and clap at everything. We are very grateful for that. I hope they allow the staff to partak

So we have eaten at the Paola Dean’s in pigeon Forge and we really enjoyed it so we decided to try the one here out by the grand old Opry, and like before it did not disappoint. The chicken was amazing. The ribs were fall off the bone, the mac & cheese was amazing the banana pudding off the hook overall very pleased the one knocked that I would give it, but I understand is that it’s an all you can eat. I just wish if you didn’t order any extra that what you ordered to begin with you could take home and you can’t do that. That’s the only knock that I will give them other than that great little place there’s a little shop as you come in so you can do some shopping which we did overall I think it’s a great family place for older kids where you’re going to get your moneys worth but it’s defini

Let me start with the things I liked. Our server, Kay, was phenomenal. Because it was Christmas Eve, a lot of their second shift servers didn't show up and she stayed over from first shift. Although I felt her exhaustion, she had a smile on her face and always kept our drinks full and served the food while it was fresh and hot. I love the Georgia Peach Sweet tea, the cheddar bread, the fried chicken, and the creamed corn. Food wise, I wasn't a fan of the broccoli casserole, macaroni and cheese, the spare ribs, or the mashed potatoes. My mom liked the mashed potatoes though. The mashed potatoes are made with sour cream which I normally like, but for some reason I thought that tasted spoiled; however if they used buttermilk or something like that, it would account for why I didn't like tge

Family style all you can eat lunch or dinner. You can choose your entrees plus an additional four sides.. they bring out plenty the first time we didn't even have to ask for a second round. Everything was fresh and tasty.. chicken, fish, smothered pork chops were fabulous. The greens and mac n cheese tasted like it was homemade by Paula herself!! The price was amazing for the amount of food we were given. The server Jake was amazing as well, very attentive our drinks and food were brought to the table very quickly. Check out the souvenir shop as well, so many cute things to pick up as a memento. Definitely check it out!!
