Dixie Stampede Reviews

This was soo much fun. The reslly get the crowd involved in the story. The food is delicious. Our server was really cool and professional. I was impressed with the preshow as well. The whole atmosphere was warm and inviting. Fantastic experience. I would recommend for sny family! Book early though as seats fill up fast!

Great show! Talented riders and well trained horses. Loved the animals! Good food. Snow effect was cool. Could improve crowd flow so people are not standing around waiting to go in somewhere and be less like a herd of cattle at a bottleneck- more entrances and exits to next area would help or seating by sections etc.

A good dinner show for the whole family. The show features skill riding, comedy, and dancing. The food is fairly standard for a dinner theatre, but this is more about the entire experience, which our family thoroughly enjoyed. They followed good protocol with respect to social distancing and masks (during the covid 19 times) that did not take away from the overall experience.

This is good, clean fun for the whole family!! And the food is awesome as well!

Excellent show. Fast moving, kept us engaged. Waiters were great. Family friendly. Good food

Took the kids there and had a fantastic time. It's not an every trip joint, but will definitely be back.

This place was awesome! My son had a blast! We will be back again! The food was delicious as well and cool how it was all finger food. The staff is super friendly. And it is a must see! The pictures are a little expensive but for our first time we ended up getting them.

They have you sitting way to close to each other no elbow room what so ever. The food was ok, soup that had a good flavor but had nothing in it. Kind of like a gravy a biscuit, a cornish hen, small slice of pork, small piece of corn, 1 thin slice of a potato and a apple turnover for dessert. Nothing great and the show was ok, best part was the dancing chicken.

Best experience ever. Loved the live show and the food was great!

Love the atmosphere, great entertainment and food!!

It was so much fun better than I could ever imagine.its a must see

Wonderful we loved the food n the show will be back many times

Great food, friendly staff and an amazing show! Every time my husband and I come to Tennessee we make sure to come here. I love it!!

It was the best show and food we have ever had.People came down in the arena from above playing drums. A girl was flying in a thunderbird suit. Trained doves. Pigs and chickens were even trained. Most amazing thing we ever saw.

With a guy thats not a big fan of horses, the show and food was excellent!

It was an awesome time every one needs to really check this out the show , food and service was out of this world!!

Sad that Dolly caved and changed the name to remove Dixie. Giving in to ridiculous people will continue to reinforce their behavior. I've been to Dixie Stampede 5 times but no more.

It was my first time seeing the show. It was beautiful and great. Loved it!

Would have been 5 if corn and pork chop wasn't dry...... great show and great staff

Loved this! Was my first show and thoroughly enjoyed it!

Love it!! A must do every time we visit Pigeon Forge!!

Awesome dinner show for the whole family. Don't miss the reshow, a very talented bluegrass band. Great trick horseback riding and lots of dancing and singing. I used to work at the one in Orlando years ago and while the show has changed it's definately positive improvements. Make time for this on your visit to Pigeon Forge.

Disappointed with this show. We had not been to see it since they took the Dixie out of the name. The show was different from years ago. It was still a good show. Now in this day and time people have to change everything in order not to offend anybody. I won't change it will still be The Dixe Stampede to me!!!!!!!!! So go kiss my grits!!!

The only thing I didn't like was not having utensils to eat with.

Not our first time, but first time for our boys, ages 9 and 16. We all had a blast! Myself and our 16 year old got to be in the show! Chance of a lifetime!!!! Made memories we will cherish forever!!!! Worth going!!!!

Absolutely Fantastic, we loved it and the experience

Amazing, the horse show, the team riders, your waitress, food n God Bless America and unity of people

Fun and lively show good dinner great for the entire family. Buy tickets ahead of time.

Show was corny and needed an update. Food was the same as Pirate Voyage that we had earlier. Picture package $45. Venue recommends 15% gratuity. Not worth the money!

I loved it!! Food was amazing! Show was amazing! Beautiful place!

I went last week while on vacation with family. The show was amazing. Please note that it does involve livestock. It's a fact of life that farm animals smell bad. That can't be helped so if you're squeamish or have a weak stomach, this venue might not be for you.

As for the dinner, I don't particularly like eating with my hands and it would have been nice if the server had offered silverware. The food wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. The soup was good but the biscuit was a bit dry. The chicken was salty for my taste but the pork loin was delicious. I only wish they had given me more than just a sliver. I would have preferred more pork than a whole chicken that I can't possibly eat. They should ask if you want pork or chicken instead of giving you both. Otherwise, it's just a waste of food.

VERY disappointing. We visit the area at least one time per year and have been to all of Dollys shows. It had been several years since we visited the Stampede. I gave it two stars for the horses and performers. The meal was terrible!! They start with a biscuit that was hard as a rock.The soup was ok. The piece of pork loin was very dry and tasted left over. The piece of potato was awful (tough)and also tasted left over and warmed up. The chicken was good. So for a family of four spending $202.37, the only part of our meal that was decent was the chicken!!
Our server never offered to refill our drinks and we couldn't even find her unless she was serving something. Then, as she was placing the chicken on my plate, she dropped it and splattered grease on my clothes!
Also, since we have seen the show before we did notice that alot of the show has been removed! It's not the same!
To top it all off, we mentioned these issues to our server and she could have cared less!
Never offered to make it right. Not sure what has or is happening within but this is not the standards that Dolly started with!
We wont be returning!

The entertainment was awesome and the food was delicious
We will definitely be going back!

They wouldn't give me another biscuit decent amount cash for them to so ( NO you only get 1 ) idk it just seems like thieves do that stuff
The show was good waitress was nice
Bring a fork they don't give u silver or plastic wear

No utensils provided for chicken and ham dinner. Basic show.

I expected more for how much we paid. The wait was long and the food wasn't really that good. Everything was really rushed and the show wasn't what its hyped up to be.

Best time of my life the smiles my grand babies and son had on their faces will forever be implanted in my memory

Dolly took Dixie out of the name and now she has stop taking cash. I took a party of eight and bought the ticket on line and after the show I started to get my granddaughter a picture and they would not take my cash. I will never step foot in anything owned by Dolly Parton again.

Great dinner show and the food is awesome. Better go hungry.

Great time, but NO ALCOHOL!!! Still had a wonderful time

Saw the preview for the Christmas show. Very nicely done.

Even though I ordered tickets online I still had to wait in the huge ticket line with everybody else who had not yet purchase tickets. No separate window for people with reservations. After that we had to wait in yet another outrageous line so that the women could have their bags searched. nobody bothered to search any of the men only the women's backs. I find this ridiculous. As somebody that has a concealed carry permit, I can tell you my purse is the last place you're going to find my weapon. The saloon show was cute. The main show was alright. Wasn't really nothing Christmasy about it other than the costumes. But I'm going to guess it's the same basic show all year round. The food was average, my chicken was burnt, the tenderloin tasted more like ham.

Always a good show. The Christmas show is the best.

Incredible show, a must see if you stop in Pigeon Forge. Food was great, they give you way too much! All of the staff are very friendly and helpful. The amount of different acts and range of animals was surprising.

Went on a Sunday night in March and gave it a 3/5. Here are the details...

Parking: Abundant and free, no issues.

Box Office: Super nice and quick. No line to get my preordered tickets. Walked up and told them my name and boom.

Decor: Whole place is dated and needs to be refreshed from the late 80s. They're making bank here and should reinvest some of the liquid equity into bringing this place into the 21st century.

Drinks: No alcohol. Wasn't expecting that. Was disappointed. Prices were as expected and the drink wasn't very good. $4 for a slushy. Place needs alcohol.

Food: Pretty good, but the pork was super dry. Plenty of food to fill me up, but maybe not the best food for the price. You don't get your money's worth when it comes to the food.

Show: Felt forced, but was still entertaining. The lines were somewhat predictable despite never having been there before. Forced participation was a little over the top, but not too bad. Animals were handled a little rough in some instances, but I don't think PETA is going to be beating down the door or anything. We did get to see a random dove go rogue and fly over our heads into the front of one of the seating areas above us. Felt a little weird that there were birds flying over the area we were going to eat from. Fairly gross in that respect.

Definitely kid friendly. Definitely a little too kid friendly for adults without kids. Entertaining and there are worse ways to blow $120. Also felt like they were trying to take my money from me at all times. Wanted to sell me pre-show drinks and snacks, a $35 photo that had already been printed, a flag so I could root for the north and then the place makes you exit through the overcrowded gift shop with hundreds of your newest and closest friends.

It is a special place to make memories. I am in love. Merry Christmas

Not worth the money in my opinion My family of 4 went and we all agreed the show was just ok. Food not impressive. We had friends go a month later and they also agreed the show was a bit disappointing. We won t go again.

Food was great and also the show. My son really enjoyed it.

This was a great experience. My 2 and 1/2 yr old loved every part of the pre show and show. This was well worth the money spent. Every employee was excellent. The waitress during the show was great. The food was delicious. The entire performance was well organized and grabbed our attention the entire time.

My previous experience with Dixie Stampede was about 12 years ago. I had to go back and share the experience with my kids who are now five years old. The show is even more amazing than I remember and the food delicious other than that random potato thing. It is definitely worth every penny and if you're African American you don't have to worry about the whole North and South thing. I promise it won't be traumatizing.

Landen James is a trick rider here at the Tennessee Location. He is a thief and manipulator. He robs the stampede blind of money but management will not do anything about this. He is known to solicit customers for money. Do not visit this location.

Good food good entertainment friendly staff worth the money

The show is pretty good and the previous couples visits the food was great. This year's Christmas show that we attended the food was not very good.

There was no single-use plastic, which is so unusual for the USA. It was a great show and I'm impressed with Dolly's commitment to the environment.

The best show in the area. The warm up show is great. Bring your own silverware. ..they won't give you any...but that's the fun part. Worth seeing every time I'm in the area.

Fabulous show and a 4 course dinner with desert. Go hungry cause u won't come out hungry.

They put on a good show for School's so they deserve to be supported!

Excellent intertainment. Great show too. Do it if you get a chance.

Went here recently for their Christmas show, it was really good, entertaining and great food!

Love the atmosphere, food and everything it stands for!

Needs to be updated. Original show should be played mon-Thurs and a new version should be performed Fri-Sun.

Overall excellent experience I definitely recommend to anyone ,see this it's terrific for all ages terrific people in terrific food
