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.

@@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.
Nothing says I love you more than Brussel sprouts, kale salad, and dried out pork.

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.

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
It does provide us with an option of no waiting and vegetables! Looks interestingly good. We may try it this weekend.

It's nice to see another sit down food option. I hope the new restaurant they're building will be a sit down place. I saw a review of the Christmas buffet from last year. Will there be one for the Christmas festival this year? Do you get a discount on the buffet as a passholder?

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.
This probably comes from a central kitchen. There are big warmers off to the side. It looks like they took a lunch area and made it a pop up restaurant. The signage is even from an overnight place.

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!

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.

I looooove mushroom pizza or anything with mushrooms. When I cook foods with mushrooms, I'll pile it on. This buffet is the worst buffet I've ever seen, and I've been to hundreds of buffets. I'm shocked this is the best they came up with. Dolly loves fresh, home-cooked Southern comfort foods so I wonder if she picked each item or someone else did it? I wanna go to Dollywood when Dolly is there to make an appearance 🙂
