Places to eat at Dollywood’s country fair.
Like in any good fair, there are tons of amazing foods to try.
Here’s a list of some of the places and foods you can find at the Country Fair;
Blue Ribbon Cones
This spot specializes in ice cream cones. They offer classic flavors like vanilla, chocolate, or a swirl of both!. You can choose which cone you want, or you can get your ice cream in a cup ( in my opinion, the best option for toddlers ). Prices are pretty reasonable, with most cones costing around $5. You can add sprinkles or cookie pieces. If you want something to drink, they sell fountain drinks and water here.
Dippin’ Dots
Another sweet option you can get is Dippin’ Dots. These are one of my kiddos favorite treat. These “dots” of ice cream are a fun way to cool down on a hot day. You can choose from different flavors like chocolate, cookies & cream, banana split, birthday cake, cookie dough, brownie batter, and rainbow ice or opt for a mix of flavors.
The prices are a bit higher than what you’ll find at Blue Ribbon Cones, with a small cup of Dippin’ Dots costing around $7. You can also purchase the Souvenir bowl for a few more bucks, and refill it every time for half of what it costs to buy a regular bowl again!.
Grandstand Cafe
If you’re looking for something to eat for lunch or dinner, check out Grandstand Café. This restaurant serves classic fair food like nachos, hot dogs, chicken tenders and French fries. They also have a fried chicken sandwich and the southern salad. Prices are reasonable, with most menu items costing around $10. They have an outdoor seating area where you can enjoy your meal and take in the sights and sounds of the fair.
Midway Market
This spot is located right in the middle of the Country Fair area and has a variety of classic fair foods. They have snacks like fried funnel cakes, cotton candy, and buttered popcorn. They also sell footlong corndogs. Prices are pretty standard for fair food, with most items costing between $5 and $10.
