Big Daddy's Pizzeria is open!

2010-08-19T19:11:00.000-07:00

Brought to you by the Johnson Family of Restaurants. The Same Folks who brought you Bennett's Pit Bar-B-Que, the Alamo Steakhouse and Mama's Farmhouse. Big Daddy's Pizzeria is now open in Sevierville!

This is not your average pizza pie. At the heart of Big Daddy's is a 550 degree, wood-fired flame inside a one-of-a-kind brick oven. Our pizza starts with hand-crafted, homemade dough, pulled by our own "pizzeoli". It's topped with one of our homemade sauces and fresh ingredients. Big Daddy's Pizzeria is so committed to quality that there is not a single freezer on the premises.

Here are some examples:

• Big Daddy's Rockefeller - Creamed spinach base, wood-fired oysters, mozzarella-provolone blend, roasted red onion, diced bacon, sun-dried tomatoes and a drizzle of olive oil.

• The Cajun - Marinara Sauce, mozzarella-provolone blend, crawfish, Andouille Sausage, roasted red onion and roasted garlic.

• The Carnivore - Marinara Sauce, mozzarella-provolone blend, Prosciutto, Italian sausage, pepperoni and freshly-seasoned ground beef.

Please join us to taste the difference that a real wood-fired oven makes for pizza. Stop by 1820 Parkway in Sevierville and enjoy the delicious pizza and take a peek at the oven where the magic happens!

Pigeon Forge is holding it on the THIRD of July.

That's right. Pigeon Forge is effectively jumping the gun a day early and holding the Patiot Park celebrations Saturday, the day before the Fourth of July and it's the full thing. All day Park activities, food tents, hours of music and performances followed by the fabled fireworks shooting overhead and lightning the night sky in super colorful combustion.

If you're making plans to stay in Pigeon Forge for the Independence Day weekend, this is likely a considerable change in your plans and it hasn't been advertised quite as much as it should be, at least not yet.

If Mama's Farmhouse was not on your dinner plans, consider making them anyway! Fill up on all the good stuff - chicken, pork, mashed potatos, green beans and baked beans in a never-ending feast of good old-fashioned South-of-the-Mason-Dixon food and enjoy Independence Day the way it was meant to be enjoyed in Tennessee!

Visit www.mamasfarmhouse.com for more information. Happy Independence Day!

Mother's Day

2010-05-03T11:37:00.000-07:00

Mother's Day is a holiday unlike any other. Not nearly as bombastic as Christmas and about half as labor-intensive as Valentine's Day often gets. Mother's Day is the annual presentation of simplicity as a gesture of appreciation. You celebrate loved ones all year, this day you celebrate the one who gave you life.

Johnson's Family of Restaurants recognizes this special day, and for those who choose to take their mom out to dinner with us, we want to thank them by offering additional gifts to coincide with their meals!

At Mama's Farmhouse Restaurant, Roses will be waiting for Mom as a special gesture of appreciation. No added cost, just a special little way for us to thank you and your wonderful mom for dining with us this day!

On Mother's Day, it's the little things that count. Show her to a good-old fashioned dinner out with Johnson's Family of Restaurants in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg!

The Titanic Has Arrived!

2010-04-13T19:51:00.000-07:00

The Titanic has arrived to port, nearly 100 years after its maiden voyage, and way off course here in Pigeon Forge!

The ship arrived to a grand opening with almost 1,000 visitors who were all soaking wet (an irony that was not lost on anyone) in the great rains that poured all day. Only their clothes were dampened, not their spirits. The presentation to christen and open the ship including many speakers, a letter from the governor of Tennessee, Phil Bredesen, a few minutes from Mr. Regis Philbin himself, and finally the lines started for the museum tours!

Nothing was spared in the expense to make this one of the most unique and incredible museum experiences around, and it shows. Everything that could be salvaged from the Titanic appeared in both material possessions and obscure information and photographs and models. The tour itself lasts an hour and features more about the ill-fated ship than you could imagine you would ever find with interactive exhibits and very helpful, quick-witted staff who never broke character once.

All and all a great weekend for the Titanic museum! We hope it's only the first of many incredible weekends to come!

Many, many patrons came in for dinner knowing they were getting an incredible deal for Buy-One-Get-One Free and that every penny on their bill was going to Haiti.

Today, the numbers came back. $7,099. Over $7,000 went directly to the Red Cross to help support victims of the Haiti Earthquake and efforts to recover and rebuild - all thanks to you.

The Rod Runs in Pigeon Forge are events to behold. Its not September until two back-to-back weekends are filled with classic cars parading down the street as the night sky is lit up with every hotel and headlight in the downtown area.

On the weekend of the 11th, the Shades of the Past Rod Run comes to The Smoky River Ranch in Pigeon Forge, but you'll be seeing its presence for miles around. The Rod Run is ENORMOUS here in town and those who come to attend will pretty much party a good deal of the night away (just use excellent judgment when you do). The sidewalks will be lined with chairs, festive watchers, owners, gearheads and much much more.

Word of warning: Traffic will be INSANE and there is nothing you can do about it. Just get in early, find a reasonable spot and some comfort footwear and enjoy.

On the 18th is the Grand Rod Run which takes place at the Grand Hotel and Convention Center. This is the biggest one of the year and if you missed anyone the first week, its a good chance they stuck around for this one.

Its a surprisingly well suited event to take the whole family to as well. The problem, then, is where to take the whole family for dinner during such a congested period of activity.
Well, would you believe you can get a proper, southern, Sunday afternoon after-church dinneron any of these given nights? Try it! The dynamic shift is pretty exciting and you're getting the real deal.

Mama's Farmhouse is where you want to go, not just because it literally is real home cooking, but because you don't even really need to drive there. Mama's Farmhouse is just above the Car Museum next to Professor Hacker's - a hop, skip and a jump uphill and across the street from Alamo Steakhouse.

It is recommended you come with a full family as Mama's is specifically designed to changing up the traditional style of restauranting. Even of ordering food, it is brought to you anyway - fried chicken, green beans, mashed and material taters, beans, pork and then some. It is generally not recommended for one person as you will be expected to eat and pay for all that, but with a family you couldn't do any better BECAUSE THE FOOD KEEPS COMING UNTIL YOU SAY STOP!

You came to Pigeon Forge for some excitement and nothing is more exciting than a creative, wild dynamic like that. If you're bringing the family, take them to Mama's. You'll be back.

Welcome to Mama's Farmhouse

2009-06-29T12:17:00.000-07:00

Completed in April 2009, with doors swinging wide open not long after , Mama's Farmhouse in Pigeon Forge is the newest and one of the most convenient ways for you and your family to get the Southern-home style meal you drove here for.

No expense was spared in providing the southern kitchen and farmhouse atmosphere. The antique farmstead decor was built from the ground up, as evidenced by a noticably clean, simple and spacious environment. No crowded table cities or peanut-shelled floors here. no walls crumbling under the weight of random objects scavenged from wherever; Mama ran a clean and decent kitchen, so we will too.

You will be surprised and pleased at how Mama's Farmhouse stands out in the genre of family restaurants. The large family tables have built in lazy susan's on top of the table that make passing the salt, butter, taters and more efficient and fun. A gracious server takes your drink orders, gets you a basket of biscuits and corn bread to begin your dining experience.

You won't need to order your fried chicken, green beans, pinto beans, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese and southern fried steak - its already coming. And if you and your family finish all that is brought -there is more waiting for you because it is ALL YOU CAN EAT!

Just when you think you have had all the great Southern Cookin you can enjoy, the peach cobbler or banana pudding top off the meal. The vanilla ice cream on the peach cobbler is a true delight.

Its a LOT of food, so don't come alone - bring the whole family.

You'll be glad you did.
