This place is so cool! Real deal old fashioned soda shop. Try an ice cream soda! The staff was super nice and helpful. We also picked up a potato salad to go and ate it later. It was excellent!

We stopped by Red’s to celebrate our son’s birthday, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The staff was warm, friendly, and professional, making us feel right at home. The ice cream was everything you hope for—rich, creamy, full of flavor, served nice and cold, and with generous portions. If you go, don’t miss the soda flight—it’s a fun, nostalgic treat! Red’s is everything an ice cream shop should be, from the old-time charm to the homemade goodness. Definitely a must-visit when you’re in downtown Sevierville!

First, the staff is amazing and so nice. It's like it's their best day ever when you walk in. Second, the blackberry and vanilla ice cream float was the best I've ever had. They have fresh sandwiches that were great as well.

So we decided to stop here for a quick lunch on one of the days visiting and this place is a gem. Its a legit old fashioned soda and ice cream shop, you don't see these anymore at all so its very unique. The atmosphere had 50s vibes and the workers were awesome. We had old fashioned Coca-Cola along with their famous hot dogs, i tried the works dog and it was great, everything meshes together nice, its definitely unique. We had peanut butter milkshakes but they got delicious malts too. I highly recommend coming here as its been in business since 1946, its just an amazing spot to visit.

My wife and I have a tradition of finding a great banana split while traveling. Reds was one of the best ever. The ice cream was wonderful. Traditional Split was huge. We shared it with our granddaughter. Everyone was full. Great find. Well worth the visit.

My husband and I visited Reds soda fountain for the first time this past weekend. We absolutely loved it! We got hot dogs, Dr Pepper float and a brownie sundae. Everything was so delightful! The staff was so friendly I didn’t catch any names but all of them on Friday June 6 after 4 pm were all wonderful. A gentleman took our order and was so helpful with helping us decide what to get and was so patient with us! We loved everything from the food and ice cream to the atmosphere of the place and the people working there made our experience exceptional and we can’t wait to come back!

Adorable!! We had the pleasure of dining here yesterday and so glad we did. The staff were wonderful and the gentleman that took our order was extremely nice and helpful. We devoured our food and drinks before we could get pics but it was all delicious! My husband got The Works hot dog and an ice cream soda. I had the chicken salad croissant and the best milkshake I’ve ever had - peanut butter cheesecake! So yummy! We will definitely be visiting again soon!
