Kyle's Creamery - Where Your Taste Buds Hit the Slopes…read more If heaven had a ski resort, Kyle's Creamery would be the après-ski lounge--minus the altitude sickness and overpriced hot cocoa. From the second I walked in, the place sparkled like fresh powder after a snowstorm. Floors so clean you could drop a scoop and still debate the five-second rule (don't worry, I didn't... probably). The young lady behind the counter was an absolute ice-cream whisperer--all smiles, quick scoops, and just the right amount of helpfulness. She guided me through 24 frosty flavor peaks, complete with seasonal fall specials that practically screamed sweater weather and cinnamon dreams. After some intense flavor reconnaissance, I settled on the Carrot Cake ice cream--and let me tell you, that decision deserves its own victory flag at the summit. It's rich, creamy, perfectly spiced, and tastes like someone turned Grandma's dessert into a frozen miracle. Prices? Shockingly reasonable. Like, "did I just get luxury mountain-lodge quality for drive-through prices?" Yes. Yes, I did. If you're cruising through Lenoir City and skip Kyle's Creamery, that's on you, snowflake. Grab your spoon, embrace your inner alpine adventurer, and prepare for the best kind of brain freeze this side of the Smokies.

The food has been good for what it is. The only thing I've heard a complaint about is the hot dogs since they appear to be those cheap chicken type of hot dogs and not full beef. When my family of four each got ice creams cones, sundae etc. it was around $9.50. Can't beat it. Staff is always pleasant here by and the view of course is beautiful.

Good sign so far with the cars slipped into the parking lot. Walked in immediately greeted by the waitress. First question asked if we had been there before.....a preamble to let us know it was "Cash only". Typical breakfast fare with home style fixings. Bacon & eggs were cooked perfectly... eggs runny and over easy and bacon crispy. I had the home style potatoes with onions and peppers. They were delicious. Second return trip, I had the double cheeseburger with hand formed patties. Way too much burger due to the 2 large patties but was tasty and well seasoned. Waitress suggested desert and I opted for a dollop of banana pudding with vanilla wafers. Oh boy what a treat of creamy gooey goodness. The waitress informed us that "Donna" does the cooking and she has daily specials. Got the feeling this is a local's place by them calling each other by name but no the less everyone was friendly and staff was welcoming. Bottom line this is a down home cooked meal like you would get at Grandma's house. Highly recommend Donna's.

In this relatively new restaurant, you can order eggy breakfasts, sandwiches, soup and salads. There's even a kids menu. The owners still are in the process of decorating the place so it's rather basic inside with plenty of tables and chairs. You order and pay at the counter, and a server brings the food to you. I ordered the day's special, a Reuben sandwich with 1 side for $14.99. I settled for ice water as my drink that came from a beverage container on the counter where I helped myself. For almost $15, I expected a large sandwich filled with pastrami, cheese, sauerkraut and thousand island on rye. Well, it came with all the goodies, yet the sandwich was quite small. My Very Berry side consisted of a styrofoam container filled with only a quarter-cup of berries. Overall, the food and service were excellent. However, my total bill came to $17.38 which is pricey for the size of the sandwich and little bowl of berries.

Unlike a Gilbert & Sullivan musical, nobody on gondolas sang for me as I entered Gondolier, but…read moremaybe that's because I was ordering to go. There was a good crowd though. I picked up two small pizzas and a spaghetti & meatballs. I was actually quite impressed with the pizzas, one being a small with sausage and pepperoni and the other a Super Vegetarian with mushrooms, peppers, green and black olives, and tomatoes. I hate olives, yet somehow I still liked that pizza! The toppings were well balanced, thoroughly cooked cheese, a good amount of sauce, and a decent bake on the dough. The spaghetti was the definition of average though. Almost no sauce so I can't say how it tasted because thankfully I had pasta sauce at home. The meatballs were fine but nothing to sing about. Gondola or no gondola, I would row back to Gondolier for another pizza and perhaps try something else like their sandwiches!

The preparation felt a little more special than typical casual lakeside dining, and the portion was satisfying. The setting is a major part of the experience--great views of the water, a relaxed atmosphere, and friendly service that makes it an easy choice for dinner with friends or a date night. If sea bass is on the menu, I would definitely order it again.

We were greeted and seated immediately, around 7:00pm on a Thursday. The waitress was very nice (new) and did a great job throughout dinner service never leaving us waiting on a drink or leaving dirty dishes on the table. For dinner I had the Waygu Burger med rare, with sweet potato fries. It came out exactly as ordered and was delicious, as were the fries. My son had the Sea Bass dinner and he said it was as good as it looked. We did not opt for dessert as we were both full. This was a great meal, and while the Yacht Club is a little more spendy than the other Tellico Village restaurants, I felt like it was well worth the dinner and we will be dining there again sooner rather than later.
