[@kendrasmith6637]

Brooks and Christy, this was so fun to watch. Love the ole soda fountain places. Not many around anymore. I used to go to one as a kid in Toledo Ohio. I still remember it. Thanks so much for taking us all along with you two. God bless. Enjoying watching you kids. From NE Indiana.

[@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun]

Kendra thank you for coming with us! Reds is so good to have back in Sevierville. God bless you all!

[@shoppergirl4363]

I love that you both tell the history of your places you review. It's very interesting! 👍👍

[@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun]

Thank you so much! Reds has such a rich history in this area and it is so good to have it back!

[@bwgoofy]

Oh My! 🍦🍦🍦 I love a country feel to everything, and this certainly looks like all those feels to me! I’ll be trying this out soon and as always thanks for Awesome content Love you guys 😘😘 Have a Blessed Sunday 🍦🍦♥️♥️🍦🍦 WILDWOMAN

[@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun]

Have a blessed Sunday as well! The old school feel of Reds is just nostalgic and makes you feel like a kid again. It’s so great 😊

[@irwingreen7764]

"Split happens!" Lol. Love it Christie! Totally missed it the first time but caught it on the second viewing. Lol. So now it's Seasons 101 for lunch and Red's for dessert!

[@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun]

Ed Seasons has stopped lunch service at the restaurant right now but they do grab n go at Reds. The way to go 😊

The first banana split was first created in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. 1904 David, “ Doc” Strickler , an optometrist. He was inspired by the fruit laden sundaes in Atlantic City, NJ. I was watching hoping that a sugar free ice cream would be available. I am a diabetic plus lactose intolerant. I wish I could try something but it’s very hard to find something that you can enjoy without having consequences. I thought for a minute that Brooks got “ a brain freeze “ from the shake! I bet this place is packed during the summer season. Enjoy your channel and best of all, both of you!

[@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun]

Cindy that is awesome history! I apologize as I did not ask about sugar free but we will check on that. Easy to get a brain freeze with such good stuff 😊. They will officially open for the first time on Monday. We believe summer will be very busy.

[@blindmanmike5719]

This place is AWESOME 🎉

[@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun]

Mike it really is! We love it!

[@chichi775]

Love this! The history was so interesting! The ice cream treats looked so yummy!! ❤️🙏😋

[@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun]

Chichi thank you so much! The history and legacy of Reds is big in Sevierville and the new owners are so nice and they are gonna do a great job representing Reds legacy ❤️

[@gaylam6378]

We had an old soda shop here in town until a year ago. It had been there almost 100 years. I was so sad to see it close. I loved their cherry phosphates and chicken salad sandwiches. And the old diner style breakfasts they had. 😢 That blackberry really looked good..and so did the pb and jelly shake! Thanks for sharing! ❤

[@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun]

Gayla that is so very sad that they closed. We appreciate you watching! It’s so good to have Reds back!

[@blindmanmike5719]

[@donnatraylor4578]

I was watching old doo wop music and you posted this. Goodness it goes together. Reminds me of going uptown Clarksville back in the day sitting at the drug store counter.

[@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun]

Hi Brooks & Christy. I found your channel about 2 months ago. I need you to know How much I enjoy your channel. I love how you always include our Lord in all that you do. Christy it broke my heart when you shared about loosing your family members. I lost my mother 2 weeks before Christmas. Now her & my Dad are with the Lord. Brooks I will be certainly praying for your health. We have a son around your age. I pray that God will Bless you both over & over. We all need to start looking at what’s in the heart instead of what we look like physically. Love you both.

[@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun]

Patricia this is so kind and encouraging and we can’t thank you enough. Brooks is very aware of his appearance and health and struggles with it but he does something every day to work on it. He doesn’t make a big deal out of it because he doesn’t want the focus on him. He gets enough of that with stares and looks. Brooks truly wants others to see Jesus in him and I and for Jesus name to be put above all. We love you too and thank you ❤️

[@AmandafromAtlanta]

Love watching your videos ❤ Can’t wait to visit again! I love a good old fashioned chocolate malt!

[@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun]

Christy is a malt fan too! Thank you so much for your kind words! We appreciate you watching!

Another terrific video with a great history lesson. I visited several of the restaurants you reviewed when I was in the area in December. I'm going back in October. This will be on the top of my list! The only problem I see is traveling solo I could never finish that perfect 'nanner split. Wouldn't that be a fun place to work?
