Always a special occasion at this place…read more Group of 4 reservation on Friday at 7 pm. Table with view of river had spectacular view. Excellence is standard here from bar drinks and beers to service and especially the food. Shrimp cocktail coconut shrimp and fried green tomatoes for appetizers, although the ultra fine corn meal hush puppies are highly recommended too. Blackened redfish with special salsa was tender tasty and an unusually rich tasting treat. Mahi Mahi and Chilean sea bass were others chosen and one solo filet mignon. Conversation Slowed to a crawl with few oohs ahhs and you've got to try this statements all thru dinner. Desert was warm carrot cake and chocolate brownie Sunday. Decadent sweet and deliriously great with superb back coffee. Wait staff never left a glass unfilled and was great with recommendations for an unforgettable meal. Next time I'll come earlier to take advantage of the seafood market ( closed at 5 pm) for take home delicacies flown in fresh from everywhere greatest seafood exists. Can't wait til next excuse to go to Kingsport. We didn't scrimp on anything/ the bill was a tad over $ 200 with appetizers desert and entrees. But there were great looking selections on the lesser cost on the menu too. I was looking for a first class dinner experience and was perfectly satisfied. Stuffed and needing a nap after though lol

Yes, we both got dinner items, and boy. Am I glad we did this place was awesome. We i'm gonna sat out with a great view of the rushing river. Purdy, darn, good, uh, customer service. The hosts were great as soon as you walk. The in are waitress, you did exactly what she needed to do, not overbearing, not bothering kept our drinks full. And and the food it was pretty great. I definitely can't wait to go back.

I mean outside of your DCs, LAs, Miami, etc like cities in a more normalized setting. They had comfort food and as someone who is from the north and settled in the South due to my work position, I have gained an appreciation for southern cooking. Their country fried steak was outstanding. That alone makes it worth five stars. The rest of the food and the friendly omelette chief only made things better. Excellent food, excellent service, everything was excellent. It was $22 i believe and worth every penny. highly highly recommend.

We visited for lunch since my colleague was craving seafood before driving back to Knoxville…read more Although this may not be the fanciest or most scenic location for seafood, it does seem to have the highest rating currently on yelp. Decor inside is 80s and 90s with baby blue walls. Ambiance is okay, with carpet and mostly an older crowd on a weekday lunch. I reviewed the menu and saw many fried options, but they also had many broiled options too. I went with the captains platter and colleague went with the fried platter called the fisherman's platter. My colleagues meal was a huge fried platter and I didn't think he could eat it all, turns out I was right but not because it was to nuch food. It was actually just not very good. He kept complaining about the stuffed clams and how rubbery and nearly impossible they are to eat. He is from Louisiana so he knows good seafood, but when we were heading to the car he said the food was basically like Captain Ds...... My seafood was edible but it didn't taste fresh by any means. We were not a fan of the hush puppies, at all. I really didn't like the baked potato either....it wasn't cooked well. The best part of the meal is that the iced tea tasted good.

It also makes for a perfect alternative to Hob Knob, which can often be too crowded. Although this place is a bit more upscale, quiet, etc. there is just enough overlap in the menu selection to satisfy anyone who had originally planned for Hob Knob. I noticed this place some time back when visiting the Natural Tunnel and had always wanted to come back and try it out when time permits. Recently I got that chance. From the exterior, it appears to be a traditional diner, but is in somewhat better than average shape for something of that nature. Once inside you find an absolutely immaculate dining area. It appears to have been updated very recently. Our waitress told us the building was around 70 years old...has always been a restaurant. That must be why this place still has that old diner feel, yet is basically new inside? The staff was super friendly and the food was excellent in every way. I will definitely go back any time I can make an excuse to go in that direction!

Then the delicious gravy that was smoke filled with real smoke. At least it tasted real. Fake smoke is gross. A perfect smoked brisket. Not much fat but perfect flavor. I added a little cracked pepper from the table and it was spectacular. And for the burger. How good was it? My wife ate the whole thing with her fingers getting a lot of messy. She is the prim and proper one of us. She left prim and proper at the door for the amazing taste. While she did order fries she said she wanted to try the grits. And we decided that this is our big meal of the day. So we finished the feast with the banana pudding. Large enough for two or three. Come see this place and you will not be dissatisfied with anything.
