“The Mountain Mile Shopping Center is an absolute gem in Pigeon Forge! The whole area is clean, modern, and has a great mix of shops, restaurants, and activities that make it perfect for families or a relaxing stroll. We loved the open-air layout and how easy it was to walk around without feeling crowded. The shops have a little bit of everything—from unique boutiques to fun snack spots—and the atmosphere is lively without being overwhelming. The Mountain Monster rides add an extra level of excitement, even if you just enjoy watching others brave them! Parking was super easy, the views are gorgeous, and it’s a great place to take a break from the busier parts of Pigeon Forge. Whether you’re shopping, grabbing dinner, or just exploring, Mountain Mile is definitely worth the stop. Highly recommend!”

“My husband & I went to The Mountain Mile to eat at Guy Fieri’s Downtown Flavortown restaurant (very good.) We saw several shops in the distance that captured our attention, so we took a stroll around the whole mall area. We sampled some honey at Savannah Bee Company and bought some to take home. We wanted to support the Veteran owned cafe, so we bought a cup of coffee at Black Rifle Coffee Company. We went into Big Foot in the Smokies and purchased a few trinkets. Also, went into Cream & Sugar Sweet Shoppe (seemed like real-life Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory.) Bonus at this place was the outside grounds. I loved the heated igloo and waterfall! If I had more time to spare, I think I could spend an entire day at this place. It was very enjoyable, the few hours we were there!”

“Had a blast at The Mountain Mile! First time in TN and it didn’t disappoint! We walked around and looked at the shops and ate at Azuls (not the best food). It was so fun watching people ride the swing and sitting in the green area! I do wish it was more shaded and want to come back and try Downtown Flavortown! The view is great and you can see the Ferris Wheel that’s at The Island from here which is cool!”

“We didn't go to the mall we went to Azul Mexican restaurant and sat on the top floor was very nice the bathrooms were very dirty but the food was outstanding and the view was outstanding not much as far as serving size but the quality definitely outweighed the quantity will definitely be back when we're in the area. We both got the fajitas so as far as any other food there can't really give you any feedback. But the fajitas were outstanding.”
