This is another "we heard you" moment. Dollywood is changing its Front Porch Cafe© menu mid-season to give you what you asked for this year. Starting July 2, guests who dine at Front Porch Cafe© will be able to order off an a la carte menu rather than select family-style options. I love that Dollywood is a place that recognizes the value of feedback-and is willing to pivot as needed to meet guests' expectations. Prominently positioned on the corner of Showstreet and Dollywood's Market Square, Front Porch Cafe© is a popular eatery that has seen a few iterations through the years. Most recently, Dollywood's culinary team tried a family-style dining opportunity because that approach has worked so well at Aunt Granny's Restaurant. We learned that guests preferred the a la carte experience at Front Porch. 
For those who like to plan your Dollywood visit around what's on the menu, I'll share what you can expect when Front Porch Cafe© transitions to the new offerings. Make a mental note that this location is the best place to eat if you have food allergies. Our team can accommodate most needs. You'll see gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options on the new menu!
