Had the lunch special, fried fish & fries with some hush puppies, and choice of peach or blackberry cobbler. Hands down the best fried fish I have EVER HAD. Crispy and packed with flavor. Fingerling hush puppies were just like mamaws! Also ordered a BLT with was delicious. Plenty of bacon , freshly sliced tomatoes, crunchy lettuce ... My mouth is watering again, hours after eating as I write this. Very clean. Plenty of parking. Plenty of seating inside or out on the back deck. A small gift shop and miscellaneous items for sale, t shirts, ball caps, cup, souvenir items. Even had a few automotive items, motor oil, trans fluid etc... It is out of the way. LOL. TAKE A DRIVE. This is East Tennessee at its best. I will be going again for the fall colors, and a truly amazing meal. Air B&B cabins on the river are available too.

Hand breaded everything from fried green tomatoes to chicken tenders and don't forget the breakfast with homemade biscuits and gravy. Breakfast is all day long!! They recently added a salvage grocery store inside and the prices are amazing. I believe they said they would be taking food stamps very soon for the groceries. I love the atmosphere and decorations. I know it's a little out of the way but the drive is well worth it. Just google post office surgoinsville. Tell them Hungry Man sent you. Except i'm not hungry any more.

My wife and I tried this place out recently…read more She ordered tacos with chips and salsa and I had the pizza supreme, add jalapeños with a Guinness. My pizza was five stars and she enjoyed her tacos. You can't go wrong with Guinness. Unfortunately, although we asked our waiter to verify hers was gluten free, it does not seem that it was. We think the chips had gluten. My wife paid dearly with stomach cramps later that night. I would eat their pizza again but be careful if you are gluten sensitive or allergic.

A parking note for first-time visitors: avoid parking in the area between the first two trees, as…read moreyou may be asked to move your vehicle. Also, make sure to park in the designated direction and not sideways, as I noticed another vehicle being parked that way as well. There is a "No Parking" sign directly in front of the building, but additional signage near the first and second trees would help make the parking restrictions clearer. As for the food, I ordered the crab sandwich and was disappointed. It lacked flavor, and I encountered several pieces of crab shell while eating it. My daughter ordered the pulled pork sandwich and really enjoyed it. She wasn't a fan of the mac and cheese, finding it bland, but the mashed potatoes were very good. One thing to note is that they do not serve breakfast, and the menu appears to remain the same rather than changing throughout the day.

Highly recommended for tasty food and an absolutely wonderful historic setting, at one of the…read moreearliest farms in Tennessee and its still standing mill dam. The setting is great; the service is prompt and friendly. But the food is really the star. What a creative and fun menu, actually full of New Orleans-styled dishes here in the southern mountains. The gumbo is highly recommended. I got the catfish and it was well prepared and crunchy. Go for it!

I thought maybe I had made a mistake in coming here it being just a small off the Wall kind of diner. The food was delicious, the service was great. And the prices are astronomically low. Now I probably shouldn't be putting this in a review because they might raise them. But I have to say, these days you really want to bang for your buck and this is the place to go. I went for dinner and was so happy with it that I made sure that I came back in the morning for breakfast which I was not disappointed once again. If you get a chance going through this little tiny town, and you see this tiny little restaurant in a gravel parking lot. Do not let appearances deceive you. It's not the prettiest place in the world but it is clean and the food is good

Very tasty beef, cheddar cheese melted over it, and a ton of really nice, thick bacon! The tomato and lettuce were farm fresh! The very generous portion of fries were hand cut style and cooked perfectly. Seriously good stuff here. My only gripe is that there is a decrepit old van sitting next to the building that has obviously been there a while. It has a 110v window a/c unit mounted in the drivers side. Does someone in the restaurant live in this?? I don't know, but it makes one question the cleanliness of the restaurant and/or owner. Pretty weird...
