They have some really fun drinks with pop-culture references, a sizable list of mocktails, booze list galore, and keep beer flowing , too. The service is friendly and the prices in line (if not cheaper) with other bars downtown ($11-12 per cocktail). We loved that people are allowed to bring in their own food (they have a few snacks you can order) and that dogs are welcome. In fact, word has it that the bar is named after the owners' dog, Monkey, so it makes sense that they pass along their pup love to our community. Note that huge (but very sweet) dogs may be freely roaming and were knocking into people carrying full drinks and begging strangers for food. Also, we were with a group across from the bar and I will say that it was absolutely deafening. We were next to each other and were yelling, "CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW!?" They could use a few items to soak up some sound like cushions on the bench seating, some rugs, etc. It would also make the space a bit more homey and inviting.

We were absolutely blown away by this place. Every time we've driven up and down 75 and we see the…read morebig dragon, we never knew it was so close to this amazing little dining establishment. It was Labor Day Monday, and we were coming back from a family trip to Gatlinburg. We were so happy to find this place was open. The food is no fine-dining, it's pretty simple, but it was near perfection for what we were looking for. We each got a different sandwich and they were all amazing. We all were absolutely raving about the fries. They were cut in a unique way I hadn't seen before, where they were little slats. Not dry-shaped, not wedges, but slats. They enabled the perfect combination of crunch and tenderness The locale is very unpretentious in the best way. I wouldn't mind living in this area and being a local here. Seems like they regularly have live music and other cool events. The singular gripe we had is that it took a very long time to get our food. But that's our own fault for coming on Labor Day Monday. Otherwise, the lone man running the place was delightful. I cannot recommend this place highly enough and I cannot wait to come back!

They are dog friendly, but you have to walk through the restaurant to go outside. Our server, Jessie brought a nice cold bowl of water for our pups. The food was just "ok". My husband's fries were undercooked and my Reuben was lukewarm and the bread was soggy. If it had been delivered fresh off the grill I'm sure it would have been much better. I did have the strawberry shortcake cider which was delicious. If I was just reviewing this on our server, I would have given 5 stars. Jessie was super friendly!

We rented a boat, gassed up the boat, parked in the lot, used the facilities, and ate a lunch here…read more Boat rental: super smooth process. Boat was exactly as advertised, clean, and comfortable. Upon gassing up for return, they pulled it around to the slip saving us the trouble. Refueling: they have long enough pumps to refill in any orientation against the dock. Staff were quick to provide pump service. Car parking lot: some concrete, some gravel, minimal shade, short walk across a concrete dock to the marina Facilities: bathrooms are tight, but I'm guessing that's so they could fit in two stalls instead of just one. Main door + curtains on stalls. No baby changer (no space). Lunch: We ate around 12:30, after breakfast was over (over at noon I think), menu was basic, but there were enough options - wings, tenders, sandwiches, pizzas, nachos, etc. Drink service was prompt and our water pitcher was refilled as needed. Our food came out and everything tasted just as described, no complaints! (But lets be honest, you come here for convenience, not the food, nothing to rave about) Dining area was as clean as you can expect from an open air atmosphere (a few stray gnats, but that can't be avoided). Biggest downside to the marina: No WiFi and no cell reception. (Download any maps you need before you head out for the day!)

The girl running the front desk, who continuously struggled to coherently articulate words into sentences, who appeared to be abusing anti psychotics/depressants gave me an option between 3 different boats. I chose a white tritoon and told her I would be there in 10 minutes (we are staying at a house directly across from the marina). My friend drops me off at the marina less than 10 minutes later with the jet ski we also rented from them the day before. I get there and check in with the manager to check out my boat and he tells me they are all booked up and can't accommodate us. The manager offered us no accommodations and told me, "sorry you're out of luck." For whoever is reading this it is important to understand they run their reservations for their watercraft on a computer system. There is no possible way they honestly messed this up. They 100% gave our reservation away to another couple in front of me who was complaining about not having any inventory. After begging the manager to figure something out for us so we could salvage the weekend, Sugar Hollow Marina then told me they have another boat they are picking up soon and maybe we could grab that one when it got back. They took my number down and promised to call me. Hours go by with nothing. I call multiple times asking for an update and the airhead front desk attendant continued to sell me a dream that we were gonna get a boat. I call back for the 4th time and I ask since they overbooked me, I cancelled another boat on the lake and ate a $450 deposit so I could rent from them, and now I'm not getting a boat at all, could they do something at all for us. I get put on hold and then she hung up on me. Never called me back. I will never give these people business again. Has to be owned by private equity at this point. Customer service doesn't matter. Absolute disappointment. Figured I could have fun and escape the transactional sad society I'm used to in the big city. I was deeply wrong.... DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE. AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE
