Ole Red Gatlinburg

My cousin and I had a Girls Weekend in Gatlinburg and decided to try out Ole Red. We had reservations for 6:30 pm and were seated within 10 minutes despite the restaurant being busy. Our waitress was pleasant, but she forgot to bring us butter for our biscuits, which should not be a request when serving biscuits. The food was mediocre. I ordered the Nashville Hot Champagne of Chicken (1/2) and my cousin had the meatloaf. The chicken was just okay, not terrible, not great. It didn't come with any vegetables, only dry biscuits and a small cup of white gravy. The spice was visible, but it wasn't hot. The meatloaf my cousin had was disappointing, with a texture and taste worse than a TV dinner. The entertainment was provided by JD Shelburne, who had a nice voice but kept reminding us to tip constantly, which became annoying quickly. Overall, we were highly disappointed as we had expected this meal to be a highlight of our trip, and we won't be returning.

Had reservations had asked for a table in front of the stage weeks prior to our going there.Lady at the door obviously didn't want to be there or care about where we sat ended up in the corner next to the service area.View was mediocre at best.Was excited to be going there I have a close friend who plays there and had told me how great it was. Well in our case not so much. Hopefully others will have a better time.

The food and service at this restaurant were excellent. I highly recommend making a reservation, as there was a 1 1/2 hour wait for walk-ins off the street. However, the wait would be worth it. I left feeling very full and satisfied.

We loved the atmosphere of this restaurant and even bought some souvenirs. We will definitely be returning. The nachos were delicious.

Ashley (server was very good). Bartender was rude, food was average. We’re out of the wine we wanted. Half the restaurant tables weren’t being used and people were waiting to be seated. Poor experience,
