Driving on the back roads of east Tennessee and suddenly there is Bush Beans. The meal at the restaurant was good. Every employee there, whether in the restaurant or the visitor center, were friendly and informative. The gift shop was a nice surprise. The museum has lots of information and is fun. This is an out of the way stop... More

We planned our Tenn trip to start here! What fun! Didn't get a chance to eat there but the exhibit is well worth the visit. Plus our picture with Duke! Children will enjoy it. Adults will enjoy too. A fun gift shop. Friendly & welcoming staff. If your friends laugh (like mine did) so what, you'll have fun here! More

This is the coolest place ever. It is FREE. You don't see FREE very often. Nice museum and the friendliest people you will ever meet. Every thing you could ever want to know about beans. More

If Bush's Visitor Center gave out frequent visitor awards, we would qualify. There is something for everyone to enjoy at this attraction. We live in Dandridge and take all our guests for a visit, regardless of their age and whether they have young children. The restaurant is great and the buyer for the gift shop always comes up with interesting... More

It was suggested that we go here to eat because they have good food. That they did! I ordered the fried catfish fillets which were told they farm "just up the road" and my partner had the Chicken Fried Chicken Sandwich. The 3.5 yo had, what else? Chicken Fingers. The place was not crowded when we got there for a... More

It was a short detour off our path from Knoxville, TN to Asheville, NC, but worth the trip. We toured the museum and watched a video of the factory operations. It was interesting to learn the family history and how today, the plant is friendly to the environment surrounding it. Then we shopped in the Bush's store. It was nice... More

My husband and I stopped here on our way home from Pigeon Forge (where we went for a little post-Christmas getaway). The museum was free and very informative- you learned a lot about the history of the beans and the process of canning them. We really like plants and learning about how things work, so we enjoyed the video and... More
