The Old Mill Pottery House Café - Southern restaurant (US) in Pigeon Forge - 3341 Old Mill St, USA

My family and I dinned in on a Saturday for lunch. It was around a 45 minute wait time which seems to be quite normal. They will take your number and call when a table is ready which allows you to look around the area while you wait. We were seated in the outdoor igloo area and it was really unique and fun. The service was fast and great. The food came out quickly and was hot upon arrival. The prices and quality seemed very fair for the prices. I would recommend stopping in for lunch and make sure to give the fried green tomatoes a try.

Overall a good experience! The food was fresh and flavorful, only wish the bread would have came out well before the food, not seconds before the food. Our waitress was very nice and did a good job taking care of us. It was a long wait (over an hour) but that is to be expected on a Friday night. We waited outside and enjoyed the cute fall ambiance and little shops (bought some yummy fudge!) so it was a good way to spend some of the wait time.

Usually a long wait but there’s a reason why. Delicious food, fast and attentive service, and great atmosphere. We’ve had the fried green tomatoes, club sandwich, fries, broccoli cheddar soup, French onion soup, and the short ribs with grits and it’s all fantastic. The fresh bread is to die for. Fantastic service too. The only critique I could give with mine was the short ribs and grits were a little too salty, a slight bite to the carrots still, and the meat was a little tougher than I like. But I would most definitely order it again for the delicious taste and combination. I highly recommend this restaurant! 10/10.

What a wonderful place to happen upon. Thought was given to every detail. Scratch breads, pies, cakes, soups…you name it… it’s made from scratch and is delicious! You eat off their beautiful pottery as well. The food was delicious! There was 1 1/2 hour wait so we went to the bread counter and ordered wine and went out to the far end of the building to sit and enjoy. We then went through their pottery shop which was amazing and visited other nearby shops before we sat down to eat. We will definitely return here because there are so many food items I want to try! We did soup, salad, fried green tomatoes and Chicken Florentine. And the cracklings are the best I have ever put in my mouth!

We have been here 3 times now. The hot roast beef and their awesome homemade bread is great. Fried catfish and chicken also very good. There is normally a wait but it is worth it for the beautifully landscaped courtyards if you can get a table in either of them.

UGHHHHH the BEST meal I’ve had in quite some time! Not pictured: the equally wonderful service from our kind and attentive waitress, even though the restaurant was slammed for lunch. We waited about 45 minutes to sit outside. It was certainly well worth the wait. I got some French onion soup, which was awesome!!! Savory and not too salty! I also ordered the cafe brown, most of which I took home, because the servings were plentiful. My boyfriend ordered the salmon cakes and a side of loaded potato chips. It was all truly impressive, flavorful, and unique. We went home with focaccia bread bowls and a slice of key lime pie…EQUALLY HEAVENLY

Had to wait an hour to get in for 1 person at 1pm. It was worth the wait. I had the patty melt on sourdough bread with steak fries and sweet tea. It was fantastic. They make their own bread. I will go again. Next time I'll try the chicken fingers.

Very nice popular place to eat, however I was still seated promptly. Their Harvest Salad topped with grilled Cajun shrimp was delicious and plentiful. Justina, who waited on me, was delightful, attentive, and efficient. The next evening I tried the quiche and French onion soup...incredible! I hadta go back one more time for lunch the following day for their fried green onion BLT. Wow was it delicious. As you can tell, I enjoy dining here - great food, fun atmosphere, super servers, easy parking, with many places to walkabout and checkout.
