The service was good and the vibes were good but the food was really mediocre. Stale biscuits for $7. So hard and reheated. Gross. The salmon was totally overcooked. It wasn’t even salmon color and the sides were definitely from a can. $100 meal without alcohol. We had iced tea and Pepsi.

Last night, February 14, 2026 after leaving the arcade my wife and son walked over to order for to go. She walked up to the bar and there were two other people in front placing to go orders. The male bartender took the two people‘s order and then walked away. For 30 minutes, my wife and son stood at the bar waiting to place an order and the male bartender walked past them and made eye contact no less than five times, but continued to ignore them. after 30 minutes, my wife called me and I told her just to leave so my family and I had Ramen noodles for Valentine’s dinner. Thank you so much for the awful service.

Our server was great and the atmosphere was beautiful but the food is horrible!!! The Mac and cheese was not even hot. It was almost cold with what looked like Ritz crackers on top?? Had little to no cheese? It's called Mac and cheese!!!! Very small portions. I ate only because I was starving and I was paying for the meal. Ended up getting something else to eat later on in the evening. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Booked this restaurant for Christmas dinner while staying in Gatlinburg for a party of four. I should have done more research as this restaurant is attached to what most consider a time share resort, I have eaten at three other restaurants like this (attached to an timeshare) and found them horrible. The waiter was good and polite but you could tell he was overworked. The restaurant was not full but we still waited nearly 10 minutes for our drinks and almost an hour and a half for our meal (they still forgot to bring a side). There was no manager in sight to help or expedite any of the wait staff. The food was over priced and had no flavor, my wife does not eat meat or spicy food and ordered the fried green tomatoes minus the pimento cheese / bacon jam and it was so spicy she could not eat it. I had the shrimp and grits with a side of Mac and cheese. Greasy tasteless entree and the Mac and cheese was worse. Southern Comfort should remove their name from this restaurant because the food quality is embarrassing. I think they only survive due to the mass of elderly people with compromised taste buds who have time shares at this location.
