The dinner theater has two stages, the Mainstage theater performs year round on Tuesday through Saturday evenings with occasional Sunday Matinees and Thursday Senior Matinees.

The Backstage is used on a part time basis, giving you a choice of shows and styles and is available for private groups and show dates will be announced as they become available.

They have a full service bar and drinks are separate from your meal. A delicious southern style buffet and salad bar with homemade desserts.

Chaffins is on highway 100 just a short distance from the historic Natchez Trace Parkway. Taking a short drive along the parkway is a great way to see some of Tennessee's beautiful countryside.

Chaffins is also near the Loveless Cafe, famous for their biscuits. Danny and I ate there with our friends Dave and Mary not to long ago. A lot of country music stars stop in there for a great meal but we were not lucky enough to see any of them that morning.
