Eatin at the Hoot N' Holler in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

Hoot N' Holler Dinner and show were on the main street in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. This show is located inside the wonder works building. Wonder works is another attraction separate from the dinner theatre. You can buy combination tickets to save money if you want to see both. There is a very large parking lot and they have seats inside for you to wait for the show to start.

The Hoot N' Holler is a great little show that has a great cast and great food. They are open year round and they have several show times. Most of the year they have two shows a day and they are one at five and one at eight.

The dinner show is priced at $29.99 of ages 13 and up. You can find all kind of discount tickets. I found a $1.50 each adult ticket in the Hoot N' Holler brochure that we found at a rest area outside Pigeon Forge. There are also discount ticket places set up all through Pigeon Forge Tennessee for most of the shows in the area.

The show was made up of five people who did comedy and sang and danced. The show starts off with the seating. When you walk in a man is playing the piano. After a few minutes a waiter comes and takes your drink order. They have tea, lemonade, and Pepsi. The atmosphere is calming. The tables are set up nice as well. We sat at a table for eight people. We shared the table with another family of three. We were also sitting in the first floor area. To me this is a little close so I would recommend you get seats in the second or third areas.

You next get a large bowl full of salad with Italian dressing. There was lettuce, tomato, cucumber, olives, peppers, onion, and carrots. They also gave us each a smaller bowl. This is the time we met Cookie, he is the cook. Cookie wants to be in the show but has not made it yet. He performs comedy. The show was great.

When all the salad is done the cast arrives singing. They each great the audience and explain about Cookie wanting to join the show. Cookie then comes up and they start talking about dinner. They want Cookie to get the dinner out to the folks waiting. Cookie goes into a whole routine about how every dinner show in Pigeon Forge is serving baked chicken, ribs and corn. Cookie is serving Italiano. Cookie makes everyone in the audience says yes sir in Italian before we can get our food.

The main course is served in a nice basket that is set on your table by the waiter. In this large basket you will find four large stuffed shells, five pieces of chicken parmesan, and lasagna. You were able to serve yourself at your table. Since there was only three in my party this was plenty of food. I loved the lasagna and my daughter and husband liked the chicken. We all split the stuffed shells. All the food was just great tasting. We listened to more music till most were done with dinner.

There was more show after dinner about Cookie joining the show and lots of singing again. The desert was strawberry shortcake. It was a lovely pound cake smother in strawberries and whipped cream served in one large bowl so that each person could get as much or as little as they wanted.

The final show was a comedy skit about Paul Bunyan. The cast came out into the audience and picked out four people to participate in the skit. There was a waitress that read the story cards. One of the audience members was a man that played the front of the blue bull called Babe. There was a small boy who played Paul Bunyan's stand in. A woman played an Indian woman as well as a large man who played Paul Bunion's twin brother. The whole skit was great and well done by all.

The whole evening was well worth the money and the time spent. I look forward to another great meal there on my return trip.
