    How to eat low carb at Dollywood

    Yeah, yeah, I know.  Low carb at Dollywood when they sell cinnamon bread, kettle corn, funnel cakes, and cookies literally the size of your face?!?  But if you're a season pass holder and a frequent flyer at this friendly Smoky Mountains theme park, you might have days where you choose not to indulge in all things sugar and starch, and luckily, Dollywood has many options for you to fill your belly without jeopardizing your carbohydrate goals.

    Let's take a look at some of the offerings:

    Front Porch Cafe

    GRILLED CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD
    --Romaine lettuce, shredded Parmesan cheese and Caesar dressing served with croutons (skip) and topped with grilled or blackened chicken.

    DOLLY'S SMOKY MOUNTAIN SALAD
    --Mixed greens salad with Benton's country ham and bacon, cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, croutons (skip), hard-boiled eggs and topped with onion rings (skip).  Served with homemade ranch dressing.

    GRILLED PORK CHOP
    --Marinated and grilled 10oz. center cut pork chop topped with mango salsa (probably skip this if you're keto) and served with mashed potatoes (sub with side salad), butter fried corn (probably skip if keto) and a homemade cheddar biscuit (skip)

    PULLED PORK SANDWICH
    --Tender pork, smoked in-house for 14 hours, piled high and topped with our sweet, mild sauce (skip) and coleslaw (skip)  Served with fries (sub with side salad or green beans).  Order without the bun.

    THE REUBEN
    --Thinly sliced corn beef, pastrami, sauerkraut, thousand island dressing (does have some carbs, maybe sub for lower carb dressing like ranch, caesar, or blue cheese), melted Swiss on marble rye bread (skip) Served with fries (sub with side salad or green beans)

    CHICKEN BREAST SANDWICH
    --Grilled or blackened chicken breast topped with Benton's Country Ham, Sweetwater Valley Jack Cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion on a brioche bun (skip) Served with fries (sub with side salad or green beans)

      We're sitting in the Front Porch Cafe, where I was going to get the Dolly's Smoky Mountain Salad. It's no longer on the menu. Just a heads up if anyone else comes across this list as I did.
