Dixie Stampede Reviews

Dolly Parton's Stampede was pure magic! Everything was times perfectly and moved along like clockwork. The entertainment before the show was great and the main show was amazing! Our waitress Kelsey was fantastic, and extremely polite. There really was so much to see, the performances were top notch and the animals were well trained. I would love to go back and see the show again.

Very similar set up to Medieval Times set up, but with a North versus the South twist. Would give 5 stars if it wasn't for the slightly offensive Indian portrayal and black light painted mask.

Excellent food and the show was amazing. Definitely worth the money.

Food was amazing and the show was great for all ages!

Had front row seats at the amazing show and dinner .Buffalo running, covered wagons, cowboys and girls even singing and dancing. Loved loved loved the show so much.

We LOVED it. I have a 2 year old who will not sit for longer than 10 minutes, he away through the entire show.

OMG our first time there we were celebrating our 35th Wedding Anniversary. What a WONDERFUL night. Band was outrageously TERRIFIC. The show was AMAZING. I would LOVE to go back to pigeon forge just to see the show again Skeeter was GREAT. Thank you for making our 35th Wedding Anniversary GREAT

Really had a great time here tonight and the food was great too !!!

Great show. Great service. Meal wasn't good at all.

Incredible show! From our youngest kid to my Grandmother, it's something they look forward to each time we visit Pigeon Forge. Staff was so friendly and helpful with accommodating me in a wheelchair. They even took me to a staff restroom so my husband could assist me.

It was wonderful! I had 2 teenage girls with me who thought it was going to be boring...they changed their minds real quick! Now they're asking to come back for the Christmas show. Only thing I didn't like was being called a Northener! Lol.

Just last year you could reserve your tickets and pick them up day of show by noon but I just found out you're not able to that anymore. I've been doing it that way for years. That made it easier for people to get their tickets. I wont be visiting that show anymore seems like it's getting more selfish and they dont care about the guests anymore.

Great show. Staff is fantastic. Meal was good, just wish they had kids meals for the kids.

I absolutely, loved this show- and would see it again.

Very fun and interactive! We had great seats. Definitely worth the price. This is the view from section H3.

Hi my day May 19,2014 at the 6PM show I love the dinner and the show but this time which is probably the 8 or 9 thru the years I was not happy first of all instead of a bowl of soup which is the best the server gave us only 1/2 of bowl he was in such a rush we didnt have our food eaten when he was taking up the dishes of course we let him have them after they were in his hand. The apple turnover i got to eat maybe 3 bits before he asked for the plate this has never happened in all the times i have been there so the dinner wasnt enjoyed very much because we didnt have time to eat it. I dont know if i will visit the Dixie Stampede again or not. I will tell anyone else who ask how it was to take a chance on enjoying the dinner it may be better or just like it was for us not. Have a nice day. Jackie Mattingly

Good food...esp the soup and biscuits!
Good show too!

My 1st time going...Christmas Show was funny and the food was great! It really was a great wholesome family dinner & a show! Also great for a Saturday afternoon day date!

bluegrass preshow, horses, bison, longhorns, and a tasty spiced roasted chicken. Go with a fun loving group and have a great time

Amazing show. Take the soup from the gift shop home. You'll be glad you did!

It was amazing I saw people jump through fire hoops and all I have to say is it's amazing.

Great show. The menu is fixed but it's all decent. Really you come for the show and it's fun. The pre-show that starts an hour before is some music. Talented but you have to pay for any drinks/food there.

Good show but more kid oriented. Dinner was good. Everything was very staged with all of the animals. Decent price for dinner and a show.

Great place for the whole family. A little pricy, the meal is probably worth 18 bucks. The show was awesome but trying to navigate after the show is a mess.

Show is good but after like 10 times going, its time to change the show up. Food was great. We go just for food alot, yes it's that good. Really Dolly, we have to take Dixie out of the name tho? You still pit the north from the south in competition. Why not change it to east vs west? Wouldn't want to hurt others feelings. It seems many want to rewrite the record books and sugar coat everything. I sure hope none of your relatives died for what they believed in "at the time", Dolly. You sure have made alot of folks proud of your change. And made alot of others think different of you now. It's ok to be from the south, you know... Dixie. The ole mighty dollar bit you in the but Dolly Parton! Might as well load up and move to New York. Where they still use the term Yankees, what! I need to protest. Dolly Parton's Stampede, what a joke. Its Dixie Stampede, Ole Miss Rebels, can we leave history alone? It happened, it's in the books. Why try erase it? Many people lost their lives. We shouldn't just sweep them under the rug for doing what most everyone did as the norm for the time they lived in. Indians were treated a thousand times worse than any other race in America. They were eradicated like insects and their land taken from them. Yet we overlook this in history and have no issues keeping statues honoring losing their lives fighting Indians at Little Big Horn. Sorry for the rant. Thanks for reading review. Show is great but old. Food is awesome.

Nice show - beautiful horsemanship and stunts. Food was lack luster...1 fork to eat with PERIOD, no butter for rolls, food is slopped onto plates like its a feeding station for animals. I was unimpressed. No elbow room what so ever to next person.

What an AMAZING show! Our whole family had such a wonderful time

Great food and a wonderful show definitely worth the money just for the food alone

HELLO DOLLY!!! Ms. Parton has it going on! I tried my best to throw the show. Everything was perfectly executed. EVERYTHING. From the pigs to the staff, and everything in between, ALL OF THEM. I cheered for the my side. Cheered for the other side to try to throw them off, hollered at key moments. The entire show was entirely FLAWLESS!

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, GOODNIGHT AND GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.!

<><

Cute show but very dated , felt like I was in the 90's . just mediocre food especially for the price. Way over priced considering the show and food along with price gouging you for photos.

Expensive, but worth every penny. Entertaining and good food with a nice atmosphere all adds up to a nice evening.

We took the kids here after going to the whoodeoo. It was really fun.

This was the best show I have ever been too. The food was to dies for. I loved how they had such great replacements for my gluten free needs. The pre-show was amazing! My waitress was so kind and knowledgeable about my gluten free needs. I loved it and recommend it to anyone!

The show is good for kids, but a little cheesy for adults, so plan accordingly. The wait staff absolutely work their butts off to make sure everyone is served and taken care of. The way groups are seated needs a lot of work... groups may not be seated together because you don't have specific seats reserved.

Show a ND food great but you need to change your add and tell everyone you don't have a preshow that you paid for be honest don't advertise for something you aren't getting

This is an interesting place to catch a bite to eat and see some sorta country mashup performance. I was here over the holidays so I happened to catch their Christmas themed show. I'll say it's certainly entertaining. The food itself is pretty good. I wouldn't say the food is PERFECT, but it's definitely good. The chicken was cooked pretty well and not dry/overcooked like a lot of places serve it. The biscuits were good too. I thought the dessert was good but I think fried apple pie would have been a better option than a flaky turnover. There's no menu here and the vegetables are non-existent. Also found the show itself to be just a tad too redneck-y with the guy dressed up like a hunter, but whatever. 4/5.

The seating is unbelievably overly crowded and too close for any comfort!
We bought our tickets well in advanced. When we got to our preferred seating it was so packed we couldn t be seated there. Then we was moved by staff to the top and was seated in chairs. We could barely pull our chairs up close enough to eat. When the food came there was no elbow room to enjoy the meal.
We have been attending every year for too many years to count and never have we experienced this. We did not enjoy our meal nor the show because we was so uncomfortable.
Also, where they moved us was truly disappointing too. I wanted to leave and get a refund as soon as we was moved! One of our family members wanted to stay so we all did.
I regretted it! We wasted our hard earned money this time. It was very disappointing.
I can t imagine Dolly Pardon knowing that her business is not allowing enough room for each person. So many people kept commenting about not having any room.
Several families said they would never go back. The only reason was because of not having enough room! I don t want to experience that again myself.
It saddens me after so many years of our family being loyal paying guest that I felt I needed to write this. We wasted not only our money but our precious time.

It's the best experience I ever had it's a must see show everyone should go at least once in their lifetime, the whole show is beautiful the ending is a year jerker so patriotic makes me proud to be an American as well as a dollyparton fan

Was a great show for the whole family, food was great as well.

Overall show was great and entertaining for all. Food was really good. They do really squeeze you into the seating which made it hard to eat and there was no leg room.

Great place to come and visit. The performers are amazing at what they do and they always put on a really good show. We have been multiple times and even though the show is basically the same, they do mix it up a little each year. The food is decent, but they are able to serve a lot of food in a very short amount of time and they do so in a way that it doesn't interfere with the show. Personally not a fan of the preshow, but they are very talented as well. The animals appear to be well taken care of and we always enjoy walking by the horse stalls before the shows begin.

We've been twice which says a lot. The food is fun, the servers are great and the show gave me chills twice!

The smell in the show arena was very strong which needs to be addressed but other than that show was outstanding and food was great we come and watch show every year..

So much fun! Great entertainment and not a bad price either

Great family show. The Nativity scene was beautifully done.

Very pleasurable evening show. The actors are great! The music is outstanding. The food was bountiful and delicious. A must see show if you visit Pigeon Forge TN.

The kids always have a wonderful time. Family tradition!!

completely advise this for kids of all ages! this captivates the audience with laughter and games.

The food was good (and plentiful). The show itself is fun, particularly for children. A section that seemed a tad cringe worthy was when the plight of the buffalo seemed to be blamed on native Americans-- perhaps there was a distraction that made me mishear the narrative at that point. The rest of the show was silly fun that is easy to enjoy. Parking was free and plentiful. Exit at end of show is slow, so be you might be better off loitering in the main hall for 10 minutes or so instead of immediately fighting the ramp.

Wonderful experience! The food was good, the staff was friendly, the proprty was clean, and the show was entertaining!

We have attented before.......but this show was the best.....
Loved the little pigs race
The food was wonderful

Absolutely love the Christmas show. I thought it cost to much, but when I went to the show (was my first time going) it was very worth it. The food was very good. The chicken was very tender. The show, what can I say except awesome. The pre show was fanny and the playing and singing was very good. I will definitely will be coming back.

Put Dixie back in name. When is people gonna realise you CAN NOT CHANGE THE PAST.....

Show was amazing. Food was very good. Dolly Parton, you out done your self with this.

It was great! The preshow, food and actual show were all top notch! We especially loved the finale!

Terrific day out with the wife while visiting Gatlinburg only downside no beer on sale

Unforgettable recommended but that if they have to go with a lot of appetite ..and willing to have fun

I ordered a vegan meal. Instead of a vegan soup I got no soup, instead of a vegan biscuit I got no biscuit, they had no vegan options just less food. The main dish was boiled vegetables without any seasoning! They were obviously frozen vegetables. I also received half a baked potato without ANY seasoning and corn on the cob plain! Vegan does not mean tasteless!

This place was wonderful before it starts you meet in the no liquor bar drinks are a little pricy for about an hour then head in to see the show. It is a pretty good show its a dinner and show its really very well put together you will love it children welcome

I have seen both the normal and now the Christmas shows. Both are great. And the food will leave you stuffed, but it is so good. Whole small chicken, pork slice, corn on the cob, baked potato slice, biscuit, soup, and an apple turnover.

Great food and entertainment...these photos were taken at the Christmas show

The food wasn't as good as it used to be. The show is good for first timers. I just wish they would change it up a little

We always go for the Christmas show. We love the Nativity in the show and the food is awesome!!!
