Is Dollywood's Spring Celebration Buffet Worth It? | FULL MENU & REVIEW

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

We hope you find this video helpful showing EVERYTHING at DOLLYWOOD'S Spring Celebration Buffet! Let us know if you have tried it or plan to soon! Here is a look at our Dollywood Tasting Pass Guide ► kzbin.info/www/bejne/roesioSkZbGZb7M

[@greggregg4852]

wow. kinda shocked. you guys were there for like an hour? NO ONE ELSE entered or exited the entire time you were there. that's amazing.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

As I said, it was the calm before the spring break storm. It was very quiet in the park on this evening, it was very relaxing!

[@popholmes5825]

@@AdventureIsOutThere Stop making excuses for that crappy buffet. It was the calm because no one wants to pay 25 bucks for that crap. Not enough food to select from and that dessert bar is a joke.

This “buffet” looks like a small family reunion spread. For the price it’s absolutely not worth it. Maybe 10 options doesn’t make a buffet to me personally.

As we stated in the video, we prefer Aunt Granny's inside Dollywood over this for $2 more. But we still found things we enjoyed and are grateful for a great night at Dollywood!

[@emsparamedic5183]

I'm super surprised that the staff left that pork loin out for any customers to eat, because it was WAY too dried out. I think that Dolly would be disappointed about that.

The buffet looks unappetizing. No telling how long the food has been sitting out there. No salad bar. No selection of breads or rolls. No fried chicken. I’d avoid it like the plague.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

One would get fried chicken at aunt Granny’s, this is offering different items with a kale salad.

I think it’s a great idea for when the park is busy, not everyone can fit into aunt granny’s Nice that they still offer it in the off season At least the park is trying to offer affordable food for families at a theme park

[@stevebeschakis9775]

I've never heard of DollyWood, but based on what I see--the smaller scale, more laid-back, gentle vibe, and manageable crowd density, I'd be way more inclined to visit this park than anything in the Mouse Kingdom. Thanks

With the price so similar, Aunt Granny's is still the best option in our opinion, but this is a great plan B option. After talking to the Chef, we were excited to come back and try the new menu at the next festival!

[@GlennGarcia-e6c]

That buffet looked pretty bad. It is almost closing time but I would not choose this for a meal. The atmosphere looks like prison or high school (same thing). We are going to Dollywood in May. Thanks for showing me the buffet as we will make a different choice for food.

It was actually very relaxing & quiet as we mentioned in the video. The menu of the buffet changes on April 19th and we plan to show what it is like then.

[@juliecalkins9694]

The two plants have different taste and different nutritional values. They are also strikingly different while still in the ground. The cabbage grows a large, single head, close to the ground, while the Brussels sprout grows a tall central stem, with lots of small sprouts clustered around it.

[@MrMountainMan]

I LOVE buffets and would totally eat here. The problem with Dollywood is the 'kids' age for Aunt Granny's and the Spring Buffet stops at I believe 9 years old. That means you have to pay adult pricing for all the kids out of that range and it gets exponentially more expensive. If you have any kids that are above that age, but don't eat a lot it's not cost effective. We used to love Aunt Granny's but priced out these days because we're basically charged adult pricing for the whole family and that's not worth it for some fried chicken and sides. Again I'd go here 100% and love buffets, just wish Dollywood had better staggered pricing for kids. Have fun at the parks!

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

MR MOUNTAIN MAN! Thanks for stopping by! Our girls are doing a different camp this summer, so I guess they won't see yours! We have just had to come and accept our kids are adults, even though some of them still eat like kids. We will try and come back and highlight what's on the new buffet when it starts on April 19th! Hope all is well with you and your family...Keep pushing the plow (Luke 9:62)! - Ryan

we were just there. I didn't know about this place--but we are a family of 4 and that's not worth $100 for 4 of us. So one problem is that I guarantee that a high percentage of guests don't know that this place exists. But the pricing needs to come down. They can even serve it (a cafeteria-type setup could work). And they need to offer more non-pig meats. We and some other guests don't eat pig.

[@JLuvBug2]

We haven't been to Dollywood since before the pandemic. But Aunt Granny's was our favorite place to eat. And at that time everything including the desserts was all you could eat. Thanks for sharing about this alternate buffet! Nice to have options.

@LuvBug2 aunt granny’s did a nice renovation in 2018 I think, upscale buffet. In 2019 they went to family style with limits. We went last November and couldn’t spend time on the wait so we tried the country fair buffet which wasn’t really advertised for some reason. They had patio heaters set up and it was really comfortable!

Brussel Sprouts aren't baby cabbages. Many Brussel Sprouts grow on a single stalk. A head of cabbage is on a single stalk. An immature cabbage is more leaf like before it heads into a round cabbage. Both belong to the Brassica family of plants.

Brussels Sprouts on the stalk are a beautiful sight in the fall

They also taste completely different. Cabbage can be eaten raw too whereas brussel sprouts are disgusting raw.
