Hey Dawn and Will! We sat in the same booth back in July for breakfast. It was delicious!😋

[@teresakryvenchuk6205]

The food looked amazing. I would go nuts in the gift shop God bless all here ❤ ✝️ ❤

[@ShinenMallowsVlog]

Awesome review! My wife and I will be dining there in two weeks! 😊

[@debbiewilliams4276]

Loved this video. Food looked great. I have met Paula Deen at a book signing in Nashville, she has them too in Pigeon Forge. She will sign what you buy that day in her shop. She is a genuine person. I want to eat at her Pigeon Forge restaurant someday.. thanks for the review..

[@archaney]

Thanks for the video. We have eaten at Paula Dean's a couple of times and the food has always been good. However, where it falls short for me is the value proposition. While another good restaurant might not cost more than Paula Dean's my wife and I almost always leave with enough left overs to take care of lunch or dinner the next day. Also, and this may be possible at Paula Dean's, my wife and I often split a plate. We find that the portion sizes are often big and it is easy for us to just order another side item or two and be full or actually have room left over for a dessert. Another factor is that we almost never are hungry enough to order a second helping of anything. And one last point, the last time we were there with family the place was really busy and it was hard to get the server's attention to get refills on drinks, much less seconds rounds of the food (that is not a slight against servers, they were all working a lot of tables). Now, if my brother-in-law was along that would be a different story. I'm pretty sure he has put at least three Golden Corral's out of business. lol

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you for sharing 😃

[@janetwolff4040]

I love they have all the holiday items out for visitors who wont be back before them! A must buy of boxes of biscuits & dessert mixes to take home!

[@marysewitsky4823]

Exactly. No all you can eat let you take home, except dessert

[@Melissa2087]

Those biscuits are soooo good. I could live off of them. I would love to try those ribs... they didnt have that at the Savannah location when I went there. They look great!

[@janetwolff4040]

No wait......lucky you! We eat there at least once in the fall! And they give military discount! Yayyyy way to go Paula Dean! Can't wait until the end of October! Hugs from Maumee!

[@keithsanders2792]

Have wanted to try Paula Deen's for a few years but no longer able to do all the walking even parking in handicap park area. Maybe someday I'll get enough $$ to get a scooter chair and try Paula's out. Thanks for the review you two! Stay safe out there and watch out for flying cars! 😲

[@brianthompson7482]

I'm Praying for you.That things will get better and you can enjoy all that you would like

[@keithsanders2792]

@@brianthompson7482 Thank you Brian!

[@Tony-5000]

It amazes me that anyone would go to an all you can eat place, and still expect to be allowed to take food home. 🤔🫣😱 Waiter: "Yes sir, and how many days amount of food should we send home with you?"!!!🤬

[@marysewitsky4823]

It’s been so hot, maybe people are just not out. We love Paula Deens and always go for breakfast when we have visitors

[@suewalters9822]

I bring a zip lock bag with me, put it in my purse, because all they do is throw it away!! I've never been to Paula Deans, but I think as long as you don't order more you should be able to take what is on your table.

[@shirleyhughes1248]

I do the same thing, foods too high and I can’t stand wasting food!

[@Junebug6789]

Just do it discreetly, lol

[@Chillaxing113]

I agree! What a great idea!

[@breezedarkstorm666]

I agree she's wasting food to be greedy. And its not cheap.

[@LisaWildes]

I pretty sure people would try to take advantage.

[@dannyabston7051]

Y’all making me hungry ! Another great video. Thanks for sharing

[@Scott-i1q]

Have a safe and happy Labor Day

[@NettieAyala-m7w]

Hamill Lodge

[@toddterrell8798]

I ate at PD in Branson for Thanksgiving. Was not impressed for the price.

[@pammiedoodle8693]

We’ve never eaten there, but it looked very good! I’m kinda picky when it comes to eating out especially on vacation. I don’t want to eat the same kind of food I fix at home! lol! That’s why I don’t care for buffets, either. I know, I’m weird!🤷‍♀️🤪 Great video👍🏼 Have a blessed holiday weekend🙏

[@EddieOlivia-h9r]

[@jeffwalker8101]

I had just got through eating my supper and when I saw you both eating at Paula Dean's, I got hungry again. Enjoyed the video. Hope yo eat at her restaurant someday. Have a great weekend!😊😊

[@jmsmokymtnfans]

We ate there last year and loved it! Looking forward to going back again!

[@treymartin5150]

My wife and I went to the Paula deans restaurant in myrtle Beach 2 years ago it was great

[@girlygirl5003]

I was just in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge today. Just love it down there and your videos!

[@briandonegan8480]

If I was in charge. I would offer a $50 per person price point for anyone wanting to take home leftovers.

[@Dollhousehenderson]

I’m about to watch this video. Will be there in October with my husband. I’ve always liked Pauline’s cooking show. Interested to see this video. Thanks you guys for your content.

[@sharonscain7673]

Everything looks so good!

[@brendawhisenhunt8444]

I love her seasoning! Looks like a very pretty place!!

[@Rhondagail]

Very nice giftshop

[@carlavision6143]

Will and Dawn, all that looked so good! Really enjoyed your video. Love seeing the Christmas stuff already out! Those ribs, chicken and sweet potatoes really looked good. Looking forward to your next vlog. Love y'all!❤️❤️

[@delanomiller]

Oh wow I love Paula Deans!! We don't go to the Island that much. We usually end up at Apple wood Barn to eat!! Thanks for sharing!! God bless.

[@hl8768]

I make homemade ooey gooey butter cakes

[@purplegirl4279]

Loved the review 👍 such a big fan ❤️

[@deanosborne4830]

It's Colette and Dean what a fun video. We love Paula Deen s the gift shop had some new things. We will be checking them out. Next time there.

[@joanndeland7969]

Yummm 😊

[@Loretta-q4t]

Thanks for sharing loved seeing the gift shop!

[@kygirl05]

I’ve been once and wasn’t impressed but I’d give the breakfast a chance.

[@vitsteele-lz2hn]

Have fun

[@beckystaley2019]

My dad raised sweet potatoes and they are not the same as yams. Usually in the south it’s sweet potatoes. Sweeter and creamer much better than yams! Love your videos😍

[@ka1133]

The last time I was at Paula Dean restaurant was around 2009 when I stayed at Tybee Island with the group of friends. At that time I can’t say that I was overly impressed with the food. Maybe it’s just my northern tastes. This was at her place in Savannah Georgia. I didn’t care for any of the greens because that again is not a northern thing. The chicken was to my recollection pretty good, but I will give you this … that the next time I go down to Tennessee I will pop in there and give her another go and see what what I think now. The ribs looked really good and also the meatloaf which I love mashed potatoes are probably OK and the sweet potatoes I do like. Coleslaw would’ve been another side that I would enjoy. Not sure about the broccoli casserole or anything else as far as the sides were concerned. But like I said, I’ll give her a go!

[@josephgottschalk641]

We love Paula Deen’s! If you’ve never had the pork chops, you need to go back just for them. They are the best pork chops ever! Makes us anxious to go back!

[@adventuresofscottandmichel9864]

Wow the food looks so delicious! When I saw those cheddar biscuits I was like wow those look so good. Never been to Paula deen's before but we will definitely have to try it next time we're up in the pigeon forge area. This would definitely be better than what we had at the island. We just went to a food stand when we were there and I had the pulled pork and my husband had a German dog. The look on Scott's face was priceless. He said it was pretty nasty. But looking at this place probably would have been a better choice and wow the views you get. Thanks for another great video guys we love you. ❤

[@helgabullabong]

Oh thats made me hungry! The prices have gone up since my last visit. I love the store downstairs, so many great things to buy. Cheers

[@bjellis1959]

We were there Saturday night and it was very busy. I didn’t care for the broccoli casserole at all and ribs were too sweet. I’m looking forward to trying other things next time.

[@lisaissenmann8804]

Never been there because I can not get my husband to go to the Island, he says too much walking... glad you both enjoyed the food and gift shop....thanks for taking us along with you.... GOD BLESS

[@kendrasmith6637]

Meat loaf and yams would be my fave. ❤Looked good. 😊 Enjoy your Labor Day weekend.

[@ashleyponder3409]

I’ve never been to Paula Deen’s restaurant. It’s definitely on my bucket list!! That looked amazing.

[@rogue292011]

I love Yankees in the South been subscribed fir more than 4 years. I have never been to Paula Dean's. Does the restaurant have wheelchair access ? I do see escalators. But do they have elevator or handicap pple?

[@TheBABaracus]

They do have an elevator, my Father uses it every time we go. Old man can't do escalators

[@lauriemathon7074]

Small portions for I'm sure what your paying. And you can't take it home?

[@teresas4440]

The food looks delicious I'll have to try it. ! I'll be coming back to pigeon forge in July. ❤🥰

[@kathydumas2745]

The food looks amazing!

[@gusnickles3672]

Food looked good. Thanks for sharing

[@Nancy-iv1yj]

Dinner looks good, but I would want to take the left overs home.

[@debbicox2776]

Any all you can eat places you can not take leftovers home. If you could think about it what people would do. At least they are small dishes. But enough.

[@janicebanks9958]

We enjoy Paula Dean's. Only thing, the last time we were there they didn't offer cornbread! Lol, must have cornbread with greens and beans. I love sweet potatoes so much!! We have never had to wait that long either. Thanks for the adventure. Y'all are great!

[@lauriemathon7074]

Thank you ❤for showing

[@stevekibler]

We hope you enjoyed your meal. Some times all you care to eat restaurants can be hit or miss. The view is amazing from there. Have a great weekend.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

So good

[@carolcampbell7890]

I'm glad you enjoyed all those fixings at Paula Deens, everything looked really good I'm counting down the days till we arrive in Sevierville we got 23 days. I'm so excited, hope to meet you. Keith n Carol

[@sammyhakimvlogs5608]

This was a fun video, Will and Dawn!

[@ashtonjohnson6407]

Paula's is a favorite of our family. My daughters think we can't come to the area without eating there. They love the biscuits and fried chicken, but the meatloaf is my favorite!! I really want to try the breakfast some time.

[@lizcortez4897]

We had a Paula Deen’s here in San Antonio for awhile but they closed down, I never got to try it cause it was way too far from where we live🥺 but it looks so good especially that chicken 😊🐓.thank you for taking us along I always love looking at what’s in the store..y’all stay blessed😊💕

[@dianajones7999]

In my opinion, you're not missing much.

[@adventurousmurphys4765]

Y’all are making me miss home 😢

[@DPA373]

Wondered if there was a paula deen resturant around. Now i know thankyou guys for letting us go with you. Great video

[@cathyratliff398]

The food looked really delicious 💕

[@keephopealways100]

The food is ok, ty for sharing but at least the view is nice 😊

[@melissahodge5064]

Hi Will & Dawn 😊

[@sandrag.mcalister3308]

My son and I went there about 5 yrs ago, and it sucked. Just being honest, the food was terrible! Even the people in the next booth were talking and the guy said she must make her money off the gift shop! My dessert was the banana pudding and the bananas were brown, rotten!

[@edithcunnagin]

I get that it's family style but I just don't understand why you can't take what you pay for home. I'm sure it's dumped in the trash. It looks really good I just don't understand this

[@Tony-pd1wl]

👍👍💯💯

[@bniesen01]

I love Paula Deen’s we normally go for breakfast every time we come to the Smokies.

[@Rhondagail]

[@storyhasit3648]

We always try to stop and eat at Paula's! Some of the best home cooking and good portions too!

[@maryluna1481]

[@patriciahurley1867]

Wish they would put the black eye peas back on the menu. Like the food ok, but husband will not eat there now since they removed the peas, still like to shop there. Enjoy your labor day weekend. God bless.
