Dixie Stampede Reviews

Good family fun. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Definitely would go again.

awesome food, great shows... christmas show is best

The pre-show entertainment was really good and I loved the Christmas show. They catered to my Gluten free option meal! Excellent customer service! I loved it! The seating can be a little difficult if you have dexterity problems and have to go to the bathroom, once you get seated, but other than that, I will go back to see the Christmas program!

Bad seats, too close together, so-so food, campy show wouldn't go again.The show was out of order it should have ended with the nativity.
Not plopping that in the middle and then go back to racing horses! Just ended on the wrong note for me!

So much fun!!! Worth every penny spent! Great entertainment, good food!

My wife and I are in town for our anniversary and took up a trip to Dixie Stampede. We had a great time all around, and would come again the next time we are here.

What a fabulous show!

We have been to a few dinner theater's and this is by far the best one.

Even the pre-show in the waiting area is very entertaining with high class musicians.

Dolly brings quality with everything she is associated with, and this show is no different. The riders, the horses and everything else was first class. I was so surprised when there was a herd of Buffalo at one point!

If you are eating the reg-ular meal bring cutlery as they do not supply it and expect you to eat with your fingers. I had the vegetarian option and it was actually a great pasta dish! Plus they give you plastic silverware!

And don't spoil the barrel trick by looking it up before hand!

Great family dinner show. Preshow included with purchase.

Loved it. Great show. The Christmas show is wonderful. Personnel is as nice as can be.

Such a great show, great food, great atmosphere. Love it!

The bright lights,the crowd, the music, the horse/western /country show,the soup,corn,&apple turnover were my favorite foods of all! My husband 's favorite food was the soup & the rotisserie chicken!I also liked the pork tenderloin

Very friendly staff. The animals are beautiful and well taken care of.

Love this place.
We always have a great tyime

Awesome show. GOOD FOOD. And a good time. The only recommendation I have is not to show up more than a half an hour before show time or else you will be standing around before the doors open because the seating area is closed off.

The smell bothered me..and the food was..okay...for the price you pay....

The food, show, and service were great. My only complaint is that seating was a little tight. I'm fat-folk, so I'm used to close quarters. However, I noticed some of the skinny-folk having trouble as well and I know they could've used a little more elbow room, too. They make it a point to include the crowd throughout the entire performance, so it's a great place to bring the family.

Very good show and the food was amazing. Worth the money.

Very $$$ but you are paying for the experience more than anything else.
Food was pretty good, but the show was 100% worth the price for family fun!

Very family oriented and totally worth it. The race was our fav part. So vute and funny. Dinner was good but definitely do not expect silverware.

A very spectacular event. I was very impressed. Beautiful Christmas show.

I know it's not even Thanksgivivg yet, but saw Dolly Parton's Christmas program tonight. Beautifully done telling of Jesus' birth.

Local southern flair, patriotic fun , great food, great show.

Best dinner food of any show we've seen. Excellent handicap access
Lives up to the ads.

The show is great, but the food was nasty and it's impossible to sit through the show if u have any type of animal allergies the odor in the place is overwhelming and very foul, Definitely not worth the money.

Lots of food. Same food amount for kids and adults. Drinks and snacks before show in waiting area are not included in the base price. Pictures they take at start cost extra.

Tickets say to get there 90 minutes early. It's not necessary. 15 minutes would be plenty of time and avoids waiting in tight area.

This was an amazing and very memorable experience. The show was beautiful and funny and we had an amazing time. Food was the best I have ever had. I will be coming back here every visit I make back to Tennessee!!

Great show! Everyone should go at least once in their life. Great for kids too.

It was a great dinner with a 2 hour show. Worth the price of admission.

Show and food was great ! Our third time there. Out server was Candice she was awesome.

One week ago. Great Show. Seen Hatfield and Mc. Coy the day before than Dixie Stampede a day after. We all enjoyed both Shows . So much talent.. Amazing. .Kids and Grownups alike loved everything about the Show . Such beautiful Horses . Will go back again . Thank you for a great show.

We visited this show with a party of four adults and one teenage child. I was a little worried that our teenager would be bored, but I think he loved it more than we did! The attention to detail, Backdrops, and animal training are top-notch. Be prepared to eat with your hands and understand that there are not menu options. It is pricey, but worth it to go once in your lifetime.

Great food including gluten free which tasted great as well. This was our 2nd time and they never disappoint

Customer service is exceptional but we liked the original Dixie Stampede much better (Cowboys and Indians). The Toy Store routine is creepy and the animal competitions were a bit much. The first hour of the show is good.

Really good food except for pork tenderloin, service exceptional, show was well done kids would telly enjoy it patriotic and Christian themes refreshing

Food was great staff was great i didnt care for the show but it wasn't really my thing.
But everything was really nice clean and it was entertaining.

I forgot my memortive glass not the stampede fault but mine I set it down they were extremely helpful. Jamison was our server and was on top of everything.

Entertaining from start to finish with great food to go along with it.

My lovely wife and I went here Wednesday night. Luckily we purchased our tickets in advance. A word of caution, if you purchase your tickets from one of the many kiosk around town. The receipt they give you is NOT your tickets. You have to redeem your receipt at the boxoffice for the actual tickets. The line waiting to get in for the performance prior to the Stampede show, takes time getting in. Once in grab a seat and stay there. 1200 people are a lot of people cramming in there. The bluegrass was really good and entertaining! Once they are done, they make an announcement to proceed up stairs to the arena. Just stay put and let all the crazy people push and shove their way up first. All seats are pre assigned, so you will get your seat no matter if you are the first person in or the last person in. You have plenty of time to get to your seat. The food is GOOD, the service is PHENOMENAL!! The women and men serving your meals, pull double duty. Helping in the Stampede Show! The show is PHENOMENAL!!! You will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!! I sure hope Dolly Parton pays her employees well!! They earn every HARD earned dime! GREAT TIME, FUN ATMOSPHERE!!

Great family fun. Food was good too, especially the chicken!

Wonderful and well thought of clean fun for the entire family. I loved it!

Very entertaining show and delicious food. Good memories to take with me!

Never been to anything like it before. Quite the experience! Price is justified for sure, and I recommend you make the budget for it at least once. Food was great, service was great, show was great.

This was just okay. We went to the Christmas show and the food was fantastic as always. The show just seemed to lull at times and didn't keep my kids engaged. We have been to the Pirate Show in Myrtle Beach (which I believe is also a Dolly company) and it was awesome so I think that the problem was we were comparing the two the whole time and this one, even though it's the original, just didn't engage us as much. Some of the reviews we read before going complained of the horse poo smell. I can say that you should expect it as such because of all the animals, but it is really only bothersome to the most sensitive of noses. I didn't notice it after the first couple minutes.

We didn't get to see it, only the outside. The show was sold out for days. Limited seating due to covid restrictions. Plan ahead, don't make our mistake.

When at the Great Smoky Mountains this is a must do! We come here every time we go to the Smoky Mountains

Very good show, food wasn't that great, and at the end, it was like the mc made you look cheap, if you didn't leave a tip. It's costly enough I thought that covered the tip. And Also at the end they herd you out of the arena through the souvenir shop like cattle. Again the show was excellent

I know its been said over and over but its always good food and great show !!

Surprisingly good food and entertainment. Whole family left feeling like we got more than we expected.
