Ole Red in Gatlinburg offers a lively atmosphere with great live music, but some customers experienced slow service and long waits despite having reservations. The food, although good, is described as very pricey. The vegan options are limited, but the beyond burger and house-made tots are highlighted. Despite some hiccups with service such as forgetting sides, customers praised the food quality, including delicious ribs and tater tots. Overall, Ole Red provides a fun, country-themed experience with good food and live entertainment, making it a great option for those looking for a lively dining experience in Tennessee's music scene.

A little pricey. We got right in but our server had multiple tables to wait. Overall it was a good experience.

Good food, great service, outstanding music. Missing Blake Shelton unannounced visit would have been the Wow factor.
