Big Daddy's Pizzeria is open!

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

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!

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!

Haiti Relief - Update

Last week, Mama's Farmhouse in Pigeon Forge held a special promotion for the Buy One Get One Dinner where all proceeds (100%) went to the Red Cross Haiti Relief fund. 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.

It was a great week for Mama's Farmhouse and Johnson's Family of Restaurants was more than happy to do it and happier still that it was an outstanding success. Stay tuned to our websites for future promotions and deals!

Buy One, Get One Free Dinners to Benefit Haiti

From Monday, 2/2/10, to Friday, 2/6/10, all Buy One, Get One Free Dinners served at Mama's will benefit the relief effort for Haiti. 100% of your bill will be proceeded to the Red Cross.

In a press release statement, Mama's had this to say:

"In an attempt to help the people of Haiti, Mama's Farmhouse in Pigeon Forge is offering a major incentive to their already popular wintertime 'Buy One, Get One' special next week. All next week, during the 'Buy One, Get One' free dinner specials, Mama's will donate ALL dinner proceeds to the American Red Cross for relief efforts in Haiti. So it's buy one dinner, get another dinner free and we'll give ALL the proceeds to the Red Cross.

Just imagine, for the price of one adult dinner ($16.99), you get TWO dinners AND you can know every penny of that $16.99 will be donated.

This special event will start with dinner on Monday (2/2/10) and will contine through Friday (2/6/10). Please bring family and friends in this week to eat down home southern cooking, served up family style at an amazing price and, at the same time, help the people of Haiti recover from the devastating earthquake a couple of weeks ago."
