Paula Deen's Family Kitchen

The food was good. The minimum cost per person was $25. We had to keep asking for refills because only a small amount was being brought out at a time. Cuts down on waste which is good. We picked the ribs and meatloaf. Both were good. The green beans and biscuits were the best! Banana pudding was ok. Peach cobbler was very good. No restroom upstairs in dining area. Kind of expensive for what you get, but a goo experience.

Paula Deen's Family Kitchen delivered an exceptional family-style dining experience! The all-you-can-eat dinner with a choice of two meats and an abundance of sides was a delightful indulgence. The spare ribs were a standout, practically falling off the bone with an irresistible flavor. The fried chicken was a crispy masterpiece, cooked to perfection. The kids' favorite, mac and cheese, didn't disappoint, and I personally enjoyed the creamy mashed potatoes and delectable candied yams. For dessert, the banana pudding was good, although it felt like it lacked a little something. On the other hand, the ooey gooey butter cake was a hit with my wife. The restaurant's decor, featuring vintage plates, added a charming touch to the ambiance. The cleanliness was commendable, and the service, led by Peter as our server, was top-notch. His recommendations truly enhanced the dining experience. Paula Deen's Family Kitchen is a must-visit for a satisfying Southern feast in a cozy and welcoming environment.

We decided to eat at Paula Deens last night at the island in Pigeon Forge. The food was delicious and the staff was super friendly. I saw all the lights and movement and decided to walk back to the car to get my gear. Each photo took 30 seconds to take, plus a 10 second timer so my camera didn't shake. These are by far the best photos I think I have ever taken.... Please like and share and if you're seeing this and don't follow, please do. I appreciate all the support. Or if you know Paula Deen and want to tag her 🤣🤣🤣

We visited early on a weekday morning and had no wait for breakfast. Once seated, our server explained the family style menu and provided us with complimentary orange juice and cinnamon rolls. The food was delicious and a great way to start our day. We selected the following: Down Home Dishes (3) - Chicken and Biscuits: the only real 'miss' from our breakfast. The chicken was tough and stringy with wet breading that fell off. The biscuits were dry and lacking flavor. Given how well everything else was seasoned and cooked, this was odd. Sweet Piggies in a Blanket: tied with the Black Pepper Bacon as the best items we had for breakfast. The puff pastry was crisp and buttery, and the sausage inside was flavorful and rich. These (and the Black Pepper Bacon) were worth the price of admission. Ooey Gooey Butter Pancakes: The pancakes were fine, but we will select a different option on our next visit. The syrup was very sugary, and the pancakes were not special enough to choose again. Breakfast Meat (1) - Black Pepper Bacon: this was amazing. I love an aggressive black pepper flavor, and this bacon delivered. The spice of the pepper and the sweet candied bacon were a great combination. Breakfast Treats (2) - Creamy Hashbrown Casserole: an interesting take on hashbrowns with a great flavor topped with crushed potato chips. Biscuits and Sausage Gravy: the gravy was flavorful. However, we would likely not get this again to allow us to try other items.

My husband and I went for breakfast around 9 AM on Labor Day, we were able to be seated without a wait. I liked that it was all you can eat and they have a variety for you and your group to share. The food was okay, next time we will try the dinner instead. Our server was wonderful, the only complaint I have is the hostess downstairs and the one upstairs were not friendly at all. The one upstairs wouldn’t even speak to us.
