Stephanie, Katie, and Shawn are amazing!! We made the Marry Me Chicken, Parmesan roasted sweet potatoes, and vanilla cake. It was all delicious! Such a memorable experience, especially because of the kind, Southern hospitality of the staff!

Wow! The fudge is so soft and creamy! Not dry or crumbly at all. We love fudge and have tried other stores along the strip and this is by far the best!! No doubt this will be the ONLY place we buy fudge when we're visiting Gatlinburg. Mom and Pop store and Pop was in the back making more! Give it a try, you will not be disappointed!!

OMG the fudge was absolutely delicious!! The guy in the store who makes the fudge himself was extremely friendly, nice, and informative. The unique thing about this fudge for me is the way the textures are used- The Tiger and Bear Butter have real peanut butter, and the seasonal Easter fudge flavor Bunny Trail had those little chocolate eggs and crunchy sprinkles!! Thank you for the wonderful experience!! ❤❤

I recently visited while waiting for a table at a local restaurant. The store was adorable and the man working (assuming the owner?) was so kind. All that said- the Fudge…..it is SO good. I honestly don’t even really like fudge that much. I buy it purely for nostalgia. But this fudge was absolutely amazing. I can’t stay out of it. I came online to see if I could order more. It doesn’t appear that I can but I could leave a review about it so here we are. Don’t debate if you need it or not…Just Buy the fudge. You’re welcome in advance :)

A wonderful fun experience… every couple will enjoy… locally owned and family run!

We took a demo class here and it was so worth it. It was like going to a family friends house for some food and amazing conversation. The owners of this business are a wonderful husband/wife duo. The class size was small so you really got to know each other. We learned how to make buttermilk biscuits, bacon jam and pimento cheese. It was a fun experience and we even brought our 7yr old son which was fun. Next time we will be back taking an actual hands on course or for another demo. Well worth the time and money.

Miss Stephanie did a demonstration for our Rotary Club. The food was fantastic! I know several of the members are already signing up for some of her classes. Highly, highly recommend!

We highly recommend taking a cooking class with family and/or friends. My husband, sister and I had a great time and have a new appreciation for Appalachian cooking. Everything we made was delicious. Thank you Stephanie!

Popped in for ice cream rather than going into busy pigeon forge and while the selection was small it was super tasty. The gentleman helping us was really friendly and kind. We enjoyed our evening treat on the beautiful porch enjoying the spring weather and quiet property. The restaurant connected was busy and smelled delicious but we'll have to come back for that.

If you're looking for a fun activity in Pigeon Forge, look no further. This was an incredible experience. Stephanie and Sean were amazing hosts and make the experience one will you will remember. They are both personable and customer focused. We will definitely be returning. Should also mention the meals that she plans are absolutely delicious!

My girlfriends and I booked a class and loved it. We made chicken pot pies, apple coleslaw and chocolate cobbler. Stephanie, the owner (and cook) was super gracious and our creations all came out delicious. Would do it again for sure!

Our cooking class with Stephanie at Smoky Mountain Cooking School today was a blast! We chopped, sauteed, measured, and whisked our way through making a yummy meal. Some of us were seasoned cooks and others were relative novices and we all enjoyed the experience. We ended the class by eating the delicious food we made and chatting with our cooking classmates (Hi Tina and Allison)! My two traveling companions and I agree this experience was a highlight of our trip to Pigeon Forge.

We took a cooking class here and it was awesome! The instructor explained things clearly and taught us some great techniques to use at home. Definitely coming back for more classes.

Stephanie and Sean are amazing. They understand the definition on customer service. Stephanie‘s cooking class is amazing!! we booked a private class with her and she went above and beyond to be sure we were happy. As an added bonus the food was great. She takes her time with younger students and explains everything in detail. Will definitely be a local stop for us.
