    Restaurant from the dock.
    David F.

    We had a really nice dinner at this Dockside Restaurant. The Seafood Dip appetizer & the Crack Nuggets were delicious. We all had something different- quesadillas, chicken salad, Philly Cheesesteak etc. It was all good. The Cole slaw was delicious (they brought me a sample before I picked it!) The atmosphere was quiet and fun watching all the boats getting put in the lake. Our waiter Fernando was awesome. Very helpful & attentive & a really cute personality. Last time we were here on a Fri when it's all the catfish you can eat and it was kind of a zoo. I guess it's worth it if you like fried catfish.

    My husband introduced me to this place. It was summer, and I really wanted to go out to eat somewhere by the water since it is so hot here. And here we are. New place! I really enjoyed the food , and enjoyed looking at all these boats around. It is kind of away from all things but very cute. People who work there are so friendly. And you can go to this place without worrying too much about the look and shoes since people are dressed there for the boating. I will visit this place again!

    Very good food. Run by very good people. The grilled pork loin and the grilled tilapia are the best you'll find anywhere.

The team concept of service ensures that the guests are taken care of but not in a pushy manner. My mom's choice of meatloaf came with a huge chunk of meat and no way she was going to eat it all . I tried the smoked wings. They had a great taste and were plump with meat. The skillet fried okra and a side of field peas finished the plate off. We got some dessert to go with sinful delight, cherry cobbler and walnut chocolate chip pie. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend this local place currently at 36 years serving great food. Happy Mother's Day weekend.

    We used Countryside Cafe catering for my son's rehearsal dinner and cannot say enough good things…read moreabout them. Nuala was very helpful in selecting the menu and deciding how much we needed to feed a group of 60 people. The food arrived promptly and they helped set it up. It was hot and delicious!! They provided everything we needed, good quality plates, flatware, cups, and any and all condiments we could have needed. She followed up the day before to see if our needs had changed and to go over all the details and then followed up after to be sure everything was satisfactory. If you need to feed a crowd delicious food with little or no effort on your part, Countryside Cafe is the place to call!!

    I ate there a few weeks ago and am just now getting around to this review. I went with 3 friends…read moreand was able to be seated immediately upon arrival on a Friday on the patio. Taylor was our server and she was PHENOMENAL. from making us feel welcome to making us never want to leave, she had the best personality. She was prompt and checked on us many times to ensure we were enjoying our time. We ordered a couple cocktails, the blackberry mule (something like that haha) was great. I had 2! for dinner we had the spinach dip and steak nachos from the appetizer sections. The balsamic glaze on the nachos was my favorite part, just the right amount of tangy with savory. Will absolutely be coming back for those again! This is a beautiful restaurant, from the entrance to the clean and neat bathrooms. Will 100% be back.

I had no…read moreidea they had a second location and when we stumbled across the Ooltewah location, we had to try it, since we enjoyed the one in East TN so much. We were not disappointed. My wife and I tend to share an appetizer and a main most times when we dine out. We started out with the stuffed piquillo peppers and they did not disappoint! If you are a fan of goat cheese you will love these too. The sweetness of the pepper with the tang of balsamic coupled with the smooth taste of the goat cheese is almost to die for! We then shared the Pimento burger with fries and those too were outstanding! The burger is not overwhelmingly big, but big enough for two to share. The fries were absolutely delish! The service was good as well. I don't remember anything over-the-top outstanding but these days, decent service might actually qualify as over-the-top relative to what you see at most establishments! (so sad) Definitely worth a try if you are in the Chattanooga area.

    We became Soddy-Daisyians just this past Spring, but we discovered Wimpies, well over a year ago…read morewhen we started our journey to move out this way. I am a breakfast guy and Wimpies is exactly what you'd expect from a local "greasy spoon" establishment: good food, good service from super friendly (sometimes playfully snarky) waitstaff, comfortable and clean dining area. It is my go-to for a local breakfast meet or even if I just want to get out of the house! They know how to cook eggs to order as well as your meat (I like my bacon done!), and their biscuits are awesome (most of the time). Now, for the reason I dropped one star... We've patronized them for dinner a handful of times and their dinner fare is good. They always have a homespun set of daily specials along with their standard dishes that include sandwiches (burgers, chicken), meat and threes, fish and the food has generally been very good. The problem I have with the dinner shift is the inconsistency in service! We've been for dinner and received the same good service we get in the morning, but more often than not the waitstaff is not up to par. In fact, I wouldn't say they were up to triple bogey! Our last time there we waited more than 15min before anyone visited us. The young gal didn't get either of our orders 100% correct. We couldn't bring it up because she disappeared for 10+min at a time so we just ate what we got! When we did get her her ability to retain the request from our table to the back-of-house (maybe 12-15') and back was abysmal! Once she even stopped to talk to a colleague and that was that. We never got that request fulfilled. We haven't been back for dinner since. Not sure I could get my wife to go. Anyway, the bottom line is, breakfast...most definitely, dinner...you might be rolling the dice. If you care less about service and just want some tasty dinner food, then you are probably okay. ;-)

    Really enjoyed this breakfast spot. Tons of choices for breakfast. The staff is very attentive…read more Daily specials and hot coffee, what else do you need! Great location with adequate seating and private parking.
