on the farmhouse -
While owners get credit for country style food cooking, they have been irresponsible in designing a system of over sell and profound food waste. They serve bowls of food at the table family style that includes everything on the menu- beans, corn, biscuits, corn bread, green beans, chicken, pork, country steak, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, vegetable soup, gravy, etc. If you are a huge eater, and find $20 a person a reasonable charge, or if you are a family of 5 small children, you may enjoy the food which is very good. The difference from the restaurant and the real home, is that a good family would not throw away leftovers. Here, you pay for $20 worth of food, eat $10 and they throw away the rest. It is sinful. They do not care because you paid. If their market is to those who enjoy all you can eat, at least they could do is have it buffet style so you only take what you need or allow variations on the amount, type of food by more select ordering. They do this for the desserts allowing you one, and of course, if you aren’t ready for it, there is no take out. This all you can eat mentality is what contributes to our over weight population, and it is embarrassing to Americans that we could so easily be wasteful and unappreciative of our fortune. When I expressed to management that the waste was sinful, they said most people have no problem eating it all. They said if they allowed you to take leftovers, people would just order more. I hope that they find the niche they want, but be aware of your eating habits if you go there.

Sounds like the old mill is a nice place to go. Sounds like you will be taking home enough to make another meal as well! It does sound quite pricey though, as $80 is quite a bit for a three person meal. The second restaurant sounds like it was a disaster though! As does the pizza place, ah well 1 for 2 I guess

I have to agree with the previous reviewer totally. We tried Mama’s Farmhouse and were very disappointed. First of all, the price (which they don’t tell you until you ask)is way too high. You can get the same food (and more choices) at Golden Corral. The country fried steak was extremely tough and chewy which made it inedible. All of the food came out lukewarm. When we mentioned it to a manager, she said she would check with the kitchen and never returned to our table with an answer. I find that to be poor customer service, especially for a new establishment just getting started. Most of the food was tasty, but certainly not worth the exhorbitant price. There are too many other choices in Pigeon Forge where the food is quite good and very reasonable. Totally agree about Capelli’s! AWFUL!

Those prices are cheap compared to Australia! I am not a huge fan of southern cooking - I find it a bit heavy - but that’s maybe I haven’t been to the southern US - if I ever get to Pigeon Forge TN I will check out the restaraunts with your reviews in mind
