1. Aunt Granny’s Restaurant
USA Today named Aunt Granny’s one of the 10 best theme park restaurants in America. Eat Southern classics including fried chicken, catfish and pot roast, plus down-home corn pudding and mashed potatoes. Desserts are just like grandma used to make–banana pudding, seasonal fruit crumbles and more. (Who is Aunt Granny? Dolly herself! It’s her family nickname.)
2. Till & Harvest Food Hall
At Till & Harvest, choose American or Mexican dishes. Whether you want to fill up on burgers and fries or lime chicken with rice, you’ll find a dish to suit you. The black bean taco-stuffed sweet potato marries Mexican fillings with a Southern favorite!
3. Front Porch Cafe
This cheery family restaurant satisfies everyone’s taste buds. Entrees include salads, pasta, chicken and pork. Sandwiches feature burgers, chicken, smoked pork belly or a veggie burger. You’ll feel tempted to start with dessert when you see the peach cobbler, molten chocolate lava cake and strawberry shortcake.
4. Red’s Drive-In
Dolly ate her first hamburger at the original Red’s in Sevierville, and Red’s Drive-In honors that 1950s diner. Slide into a bright red booth and order burgers (made from a third of a pound of beef), cheeseburgers or the luscious bacon cheeseburger. For a change, try a salad or the turkey wrap.
5. Grandstand Cafe and The Dog House
Had enough burgers? In the Country Fair area, stroll up to Grandstand Cafe for hot dogs, crispy chicken sandwiches or chicken tenders. This walk-up stand will remind you of food stalls at a country fair. In Wilderness Pass, The Dog House’s trademark is specialty hot dogs slathered in toppings. Try dogs covered in mac and cheese, sloppy joe chili or Southwestern pico de gallo.
6. Miss Lillian’s Smokehouse and BBQ Corner
Two different places, one delicious BBQ! In Craftsman’s Valley, head for Miss Lillian’s Smokehouse for spice-rubbed ribs, BBQ platters, smoked sausage, and loaded baked potatoes. If you’re in a hurry, stop at nearby BBQ Corner for on-the-go specials from Miss Lillian.
