Frizzle Chicken Farmhouse Cafe

Frizzle Chicken Café is a family breakfast and lunch spot on the Pigeon Forge Parkway where the entertainment comes from the walls. Dozens of animatronic chickens sing and dance from their coops while you eat Southern-style pancakes, omelets and chicken and waffles.

The café, also known as Frizzle Chicken Farmhouse Café, calls itself "a wonderland of food and fun in Pigeon Forge," and it claims the most animatronic chickens assembled anywhere in the world. It sits right next to the Comedy Barn Theater, and it's one of the most kid-pleasing breakfast stops in town.

The singing chickens

The chickens are the reason to go. They line the walls in individual coops, each with its own punny name, and every so often the whole flock breaks into song. Kids love spotting their favorite hen, and grown-ups will catch a few jokes of their own. Plan to linger over a second cup of coffee so you don't miss a show.

The name comes from frizzle chickens, a breed of show birds known for their curly, ruffled feathers and gentle personalities.

Breakfast

Breakfast is the main event, with Southern-style classics like pancakes, waffles, French toast, omelets and biscuits and gravy. Chicken and waffles is a natural pick at a place with this name, and there are a few lighter, more modern options on the menu too. Little ones get kid-friendly pancakes made just for them.

Lunch

Frizzle Chicken serves lunch as well, with sandwiches, burgers and chicken tenders. It's an easy stop for a late breakfast or an early lunch before an afternoon on the Parkway.

Good for families

Frizzle Chicken is built for families. The singing chickens keep kids entertained while you wait for your food, the décor is cheerful country farmhouse, and the menu has plenty of simple favorites for picky eaters. It's a fun way to start a vacation day, especially with younger kids.

Tips for your visit

Go early

Frizzle Chicken is a breakfast and lunch restaurant, so it closes early in the day. Arrive in the morning, especially on summer weekends, fall weekends and holidays, when breakfast spots on the Parkway fill up fast.

Order online

Frizzle Chicken offers online ordering, which makes it easy to grab breakfast and take it back to the cabin.

Check the website

Check the café's website for the current menu and hours before you go.

Make a day of it

Frizzle Chicken is right next door to the Comedy Barn Theater, so you can pair breakfast with a family-friendly show later in the day. Dolly Parton's Stampede, The Island and Dollywood are all a short drive away. For more ideas, see our guide to Pigeon Forge attractions for kids or browse more Pigeon Forge attractions.
