About Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Feud
The fun here is picking a side. At Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Feud on Music Road in Pigeon Forge, you join either the Hatfields or the McCoys, then spend the evening eating, hollering and cheering for your family in a comedy show built around the famous mountain rivalry.
The evening
Dinner comes first and it is all you can eat. The site invites you to come hungry, and everyone gets the same family-style meal unless a food allergy calls for an alternative. There is no separate kids' menu, so that is worth knowing if you are traveling with picky eaters.
The hollerin' does not start right away. Before the show, you can see live animals, take in the mountain decor and listen to live music while you eat. That pre-show stretch gives kids something to look at and gives you time to settle in before the feud begins.
Ways to buy in
The official site describes four ways to join the feud, including a VIP admission that adds time with the cast and extra perks. Standard value seating is the section farthest from the stage and the more economical choice. The official site links to ticket options, and you choose your party size on the booking site to see available dates and times. Ticket prices are not listed on the main pages, so check your date before you commit.
Military rates are not sold online. You book them by phone at 865-908-7469.
Fall and Christmas
In fall, the theater runs a seasonal show called Autumn Antics, which the site lists as running from Sept. 11 through Nov. 5. The site also links to a Christmas show, though it does not list dates on the pages available, so confirm dates before you plan a holiday visit. The theater also uses a "Fall Feudin'" logo during the season.
Planning tips
Music Road runs off the Parkway, so the show is an easy add-on to a Parkway day without a long drive. Dinner is part of the ticket, so you do not need to plan a separate meal. Arrive early enough to find your seat, soak up the pre-show and get settled without rushing.
If you are choosing between Pigeon Forge dinner shows, think about what your group wants. This one leans on comedy and rivalry, with the crowd split into two cheering sections. That makes it a good fit for groups that enjoy playing along, and a softer fit for anyone who wants a quiet dinner. Bring your voice and a sense of humor.
Pigeon Forge also has horse-stunt, pirate and lumberjack dinner shows, and several theaters sell combo tickets that pair a variety show with a dinner show, so ask at booking if you want to stack two evenings. Questions about a specific date, seating or allergies are best handled by phone at 865-908-7469 or through the contact page.
