We eat here every time we’re in Gatlinburg and there’s always a crowd out front waiting to get in. The food is fine, not terrific, but we go mainly for the Forest Gump Trivia experience! It’s a blast to match wits with the servers when they quiz you about the movie, plus it’s interesting to look at all the movie photos and stuff that’s displayed throughout the restaurant.
When you want the server to stop at your table, you flip the metal sign to “Stop, Forest, Stop!” and when you don’t need anything you flip the metal sign over and it says “Run, Forest, Run”. What a hoot!
The down side……the restrooms are upstairs. They do have an elevator that’s handicapped accessible, but you have to wait for it and it’s a tight squeeze, plus it’s tricky to navigate through the crowded dining area without bumping into someone.
