Does Anakeesta do well with food allergies? I will say yes, I had no allergic reactions eating their food. Everyone’s experience is different. Please let me know what your experience is like at Anakeesta in the comments section if you have any experiences.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I really enjoyed the Duck Carnitas Potato. That was the best food I ate at the Smokies. The Duck was so tender, juicy, & good. This was my first time ever trying duck and I was really happy that with my food. Add the duck to the potato and you have yourself a great snack.

Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I really liked they had an allergen menu for their two restaurants. I will say that I asked the people at the Idaho Potato Stand to see if they could make my food safely. If your not 100% certain please ask them because they are very knowledgeable about what’s in their food.

I Went to Andy’s Frozen Custard in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. My brother wanted ice cream and my family loved this place. They want to come back here again. Now I’m going to give my take on Andy’s.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I enjoyed my strawberry Italian Ice. They did get the Italian Ice from Zarlengo’s but it was one of the best Italian Ices I have ever had.

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I do appreciate Andy’s for their transparency of their menu. That’s something I can compliment Andy’s for. I think adding a vegan, dairy-free, & nut-free vanilla custard made with Oat Milk would be great for Andy’s. People with dairy allergies & lactose intolerant people can eat Ice Cream/Custard at Andy’s.

I Tried Iron Forge Brewing Company tha was right next to Covenant Health Ballpark in Knoxville, Tennessee. I want to share my experience with you!!

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: The portion sizes were huge. I was the last one in my family to finish my food. I loved my wings they were hot, juicy, & fresh. Having fries that were dairy-free made this meal even better.
Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I had no allergic reactions and the staff here was really attentive to my food allergies.

I Went to North China Restaurant in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I will add that getting this food to go is the way to go. I waited for the staff to take me to my table for a couple of minutes more than I expected, but my food came out at a reasonable pace. But don’t let that ruin the food, because the food was actually really good.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I really enjoyed their fried rice. It reminded me of the fried rice I would get at home. It was fantastic!!! I also enjoyed my Sweet and Sour Pork. I enjoyed my meal!!!

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I didn’t have any allergic reactions eating here. I would return to eat here, but I’m going to order online and take it to go and eat it at my resort.

I Ate At Dollywood With Multiple Food Allergies (Dairy, Peanuts, & Tree nuts). I want to share what I ate with you!!!

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: The Cinnamon Bread was the best thing I got. The bread, icing, & sugar were amazing. I also enjoyed the churro fries, Foot Long Hot Dog, Curly Fries, Fried Potatoes, & Big Bear Sandwich (Pork & Beef).

Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I didn’t have any allergic reactions and they have an allergen menu to where you can see the ingredients they use to make their food. They also use clear allergen labels. I couldn’t believe their Cinnamon Bread didn’t use any dairy ingredients. I even had my brother check for me and he said everything is good. Dollywood sets a great example on how restaurants should treat their guests with food allergies. It was nice to enjoy the day riding rollercoasters and playing arcade games and it’s also nice to not be in a hospital due to an allergic reaction.

I Went to Log Cabin Pancake House in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. It’s a 3-5 minute walk from my resort. I was here on a family vacation. I want to share my experience with you!!!

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I really enjoyed my food. I loved the flavor from the Sausage, Hashbrowns, & Bacon. It was really good food!!!

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I wish they had a dairy-free pancake. It was unfortunate that I didn’t have the option to order pancakes that were allergy-friendly for me. Everyone in my family except for me ordered pancakes. It’s hard to find restaurants that serve dairy-free pancakes. The good news is that I didn’t have any allergic reactions at all. At the end of the day that’s what matters the most.

I Went to Cinnaholic in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. I’m allergic to dairy, peanuts, & tree nuts. This place is perfect for me because they serve dairy-free & nut-free Cinnamon Rolls. I’m so happy that I found this while I was on a family vacation. Cinnaholic’s a great place to eat in the Smoky Mountains.
Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I got the Cookie Monster & Old Skool Cinnamon Rolls. They were amazing I felt like I was in Heaven 😀
Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars

I Went to Hatfield & McCoy’s Dinner Feud in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee while I was on my family vacation in the Smoky Mountains. My Mom bought tickets to this dinner show for all of us! Thanks Mom!! I wasn’t allowed to film videos when the show was going on, but I will say that the show was very entertaining and a great addition to your dinner. Now let’s review the food 😀
Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I really enjoyed my food here. With my food allergies I got a different meal than everyone else. I got fruit as a replacement for dessert & I got different bread that was dairy-free. I also got rotisserie chicken, potatoes, & corn on the cob. My food was amazing!! The quality of the food was amazing and full of flavor. The food was also very fresh!!!
Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: They have a great process here. My Mom also is allergic to tree nuts so she called in ahead for the both of us to make sure we had food to eat. They were so accommodating and we got a special meal ticket when we got to the building. This helped me feel safe when we were planning our vacation. I’m happy to say that I didn’t have an allergic reaction & my Mom didn’t have an allergic reaction. Thanks Hatfield and McCoy’s!!

I Ate Gorilla Taco while I was on my family vacation in the Smokies. My family absolutely loved this place and said they want to come here again. Now let’s get into my review of Gorilla Taco.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I loved the Mexican Rice!! It stole the show. The rice was fluffy and soft. In other words the rice tasted like it should taste. I liked my carne asada tacos with corn salsa in them. I enjoyed my chips & salsa here too! The beans had a little kick to them, but I enjoyed the flavor of the beans. Overall, I thought the food was full of flavor and really good!!

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I didn’t have any allergic reactions and the waitress was really attentive and made sure my food was safe for me to eat.
