Paula Deen’s The Bag Lady Cafe
PERMANENTLY CLOSED: Sadly, The Bag Lady no longer exists in Pigeon Forge. Below is the original article from when it opened.
If you’ve enjoyed Paula Deen’s Family Kitchen restaurant at The Island in Pigeon Forge, then we have a sweet treat for you! Paula and her sons have opened a brand new cafe next to the fountains at The Island! The new cafe is called “The Bag Lady” in honor of how Paula Deen first got started as a culinary queen. The Bag Lady serves up her favorite sandwiches & salads with prices around $8-$9 as well as some of her most famous desserts in the $4-$5 range. It’s a fantastic spot to grab a bite for lunch and enjoy the fountains at The Island!

Looks like lots of fun, I would love to go.
will be there in about 3 weeks can not wait..
Hoping to go while we are there this week!
Can’t wait to get back to Pigeon Forge. Finally a Paula eatery that a single person can go to. Thanks Paula.
Looking forward to trying out the Bag Lady. Tried her other restaurant and food was good but pricey. Also too much waste of food. Paula Deen should offer a lower price 1 plate option.
C u for the 4th of July!!
Prices a little to high for me.I be going to shoneys.
This is where I will go next time. I couldn’t go to her other one; I was told the seating is on the second floor with no elevator ( I can’t do steps). I was there a couple weeks ago but I didn’t see it.
There is an elevator. I’ve been twice. I believe it is on the other side of the escalator near the bathrooms.
Will have to try this place out.Not impressed with the other place, pricey and not great food.
We went in for some gooey butter cake and it was good but not. Needed to be put it the cooler. Still enjoyed it.
While visiting the Island in Pigeon Forge this week, we stop in there to grab some lunch. The ham and cheese sandwich and the lemonade was awesome. Love that you can come back all day for free refills on drinks for one price.
I would love to go to The Bag Lady! Someday, we will get back to Pigeon Forge! I can’t believe people say this is expensive. By the menu posted, that is pretty reasonable. Especially for a resident with such a big name. I’d pay a lot more for a Paula Deen inspired recipe ! 🙂
The chicken salad was made with dark meat. Very disappointed. That should be advertised that way. Waste of $8 pita chips were way to hard
Went in May 2018 No longer there. Sorry we missed it
