Lucky's Mine Restaurant Buffet
Is currently not open.
But, when it is open, it's the least expensive buffet on the Park. And children under 4 eat free. If you have very large eaters it will save money because everyone can get pretty full for the price of one meal. Or if you have a lot of kids under 4 eating free.
Lucky's is my absolute favorite buffet on the Park. We love the roasted/smoked meat selections and lots of yummy vegetables. The Mac and cheese is great. So are the chicken fingers. And we normally don't even like chicken fingers or Macaroni and Cheese, especially out to eat.
It's also one of our favorite locations for ambiance. We like the low lighting (even though we usually don't care for low lighting at restaurants. The low lighting helps at Silver Dollar City to kind if decompress from the stimulantion all over the park), air conditioning in the summer, and heat in the winter. It's also usually not as packed as other restaurants in the park. And the magic table is super fun.
Molly's Mill -
Children under 4 eat free. If you have very large eaters it will save money because everyone can get pretty full for the price of one meal. Or if you have a lot of kids under 4 eating free.
We love the Breakfast Buffet at Molly's Mill. The biscuits and gravy, and Bacon are our absolute favorite. The eggs are also pretty good for a buffet. And we love all the fresh fruit, especially the watermelon.
Lunch and Dinner are also great. The fried chicken and fried fish are delicious. Love the Broccoli Casserole too.
But, the real gems of Molly's are the waitresses. Some of the sweetest people you will ever meet.
And a nice bonus of the Buffets all three of them, Molly's Mill, Lucky's Mine and the Reunion Hall kids under 4 eat free.
Rivertown Smokehouse
The Ribs, Brisket and Mac and Cheese are so very good. And I don't usually even like Macaroni and Cheese. Some of the best ribs and Brisket I have ever had in my life. Again brisket is something my husband and I always thought we didn't like, because most places sell extremely burnt, dried up Brisket. Not Silver Dollar City. It's perfectly smoked and tender and delicious.
Most people can easily split the Meat Platter or 1/2 rack of ribs, or full rack of ribs if you're extra hungry, between 2 adults pretty well. Also comes with free pickles.
Also for myself, and I would gander the majority of women's appetites, the kids meal are plenty of food. The Pulled pork sandwich with Macaroni and Cheese, or I have a few teen girls who like to get the kids meal with the main entre being Mac and Cheese and the side being Macaroni and Cheese both, so they get two servings of Mac and cheese. Both those meals usually come with Apple sauce or fresh fruit. They are usually out of fresh fruit though so it's usually Apple sauce once in a while sliced apples are available. And you can have free sliced in house made Pickles. It's honestly usually plenty of food for us. Again especially if you may want a snack later on...or their delicious desserts.
And my son with a large appetite, is usually happy with the kids meal Pulled pork sandwich with Tater Tots side. Also to note, the Tots are white potato and sweet potato Tots. He doesn't like the sweet potato Tots. So he asks them to only try to give him the white potato Tots and they try to do that for him. So if you have a child that don't like the sweet potato tots make sure to ask them to try to only give them the white potato ones, otherwise they will get a mix of both when they order the Tater Tots as a side.
Wagon Works Grill -
Turkey Legs
In my opinion they have the very best Turkey Legs on the park. Much better than Buckshot's. And you can add Fries or baked beans for pretty inexpensive. Which helps stretch the turkey leg making it serve at least 2 people. Or if it's kids or smaller eaters you may be able to serve 3 to 4 small eaters with 1 turkey leg and a side.
We love the ambiance of Wagon Works. It's one of our favorite locations to eat, weather it's their actual food or our packed lunch. The Wagon is extra special to eat inside. But, I love the bottom floor by the fireplace. It's usually pretty empty down there. Cool and quiet in the summer. And love the warmth of the fireplace in the cold months.
Crossroads Pizza
My kids love the Pizzas at Crossroads. My husband and I do not like pizza period. But for several years thought Crossroads was pretty good for pizza. They changed their crust in 2020. Our kids still love it. My husband and I, not so much.
And you can buy like 1 large pizza for a small family, 2 large pizzas for a medium family, and the most we have ever had to buy was 3 large pizzas and that fed 14 of us. So it can sometimes save money to have one or a couple of Pizzas for the whole family to share.
Many people also love the skillets. In my opinion they are too large usually for 1 person...but not enough for 2 people. Lol so this is where my next tip begins.
The Tasting Pass. The Tasting Pass, you pay one fee to get 5 items. It has many sample size options and a few full size portions. Generally the Skillet Meals are about a 2/3 size portion from the normal size. And perfect for 1 person. And that leaves you with 4 other choices to split with 1 other person...or to have later. We usually split 1 Tasting Pass with 2 people.
Keep a watch on my posts for current information on the most current Tasting Passport. I try to post portion sizes for each option on the Tasting Passport.
Some are only a sample size. Others are full size and large enough to split between 2 people. While others are somewhere in between sample size and full size and just right for one person for a full meal. With more choices for a snack later on. Again when choosing the right options of portion sized choices on the Passport 2 people can be very satisfied for a full day of food at Silver Dollar City. Or one person can choose to use it for 2 days at Silver Dollar City. And end up really saving money and getting to try more things.
However, beware, some people feel cheated it they only choose the tiny portion options on the Passport. So always check my posts for portion sizes you will get and pick the options you get the most bang for your buck with.
