Best WLM Reviews

I recently visited Ole Red with my family, and we were absolutely thrilled with our experience. The restaurant has a unique atmosphere and welcoming vibe. The food was delicious ???? I ordered the "Trash Talkin' Taco Salad," but I chose to swap out the meat for crispy chicken. The salad was fantastic????????flavorful, filling, and just the right portion. I also highly recommend the fries! The service was outstanding, with friendly and attentive staff who made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, Ole Red is a great spot for good food and a great time. Highly recommended!
Service was friendly and reasonably quick. The portions were small for the price but everything tasted great. $105 before tip for 2 burgers, a kids meal, a side of loaded tots, and 3 sweet teas.
**Review for Ole Red**
We recently dined at Ole Red and had a delightful experience that left us eager to return. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a lively vibe that perfectly complemented the Southern-inspired menu.
To start, we ordered a classic burger and fries, which did not disappoint. The burger was juicy and cooked to perfection, with fresh toppings that added a burst of flavor. The fries were crispy and seasoned just right, making them a great accompaniment.
For the kids, we opted for a burger and a grilled cheese sandwich from the kids' menu. Both meals were well-portioned and received thumbs up from the little ones. The kids' burger was simple yet tasty, while the grilled cheese was gooey and comforting, just like we hoped it would be.
I couldn't resist trying the pulled pork sandwich, and it was a standout! The pork was tender and flavorful, with a smoky sweetness that paired beautifully with the tangy barbecue sauce. It was served on a soft bun that held everything together perfectly.
Overall, Ole Red offers a fantastic dining experience with hearty comfort food that satisfies all ages. The service was friendly and attentive, which added to our enjoyable meal. We left with full bellies and big smiles, already planning our next visit. Highly recommend for families and anyone craving delicious Southern fare!
My very first visit while visiting Tennessee on a girls trip. The atmosphere was really cool. I enjoyed the live performance. The food was good and slightly pricey but you’re paying for the live entertainment so I can’t really complain.
We came in around 9 pm to see some live music and to have have some drinks. The wait staff was great. The audio was messing up multiple times during the performers set. They got it fixed and went on to murder/butcher wagon wheel and played Free Bird without a slide. But! The apple pie dessert was great as suggested by the wait staff. We will be back.
The Ole Red restaurant is all about the atmosphere and atmosphere it has plenty of. The place is super nice, with multiple bars and upstairs seating. The tractor suspended upside down from the roof is also over the top. The live entertainment and presentation is really top notch and the service is very good.
My wife and I were just kicking in the Smokies. We wanted to catch some country music. We know Ole Reds has some great music, so we stopped in for a bite and listen. It was great. Good music, good vibe and pretty good food. ????
If you want to go somewhere for the experience and atmosphere, this is great. There is always live music and the inside of the restaurant looks cool. But we don’t drink and the food was just mediocre. It’s pretty pricey, so if you’re looking for somewhere based on JUST food, I would skip it here.
