It is very limited in the local area to find made to order fresh pizza other than big chain stores,…read moreso I was delighted to find blind frog cafe, very nice looking inside with tvs and ice cream, nice atmosphere, I always try a business 2 or 3 times before making reviews, 1st time I went in they had a few people at tables 6 total customers, so not very busy,order 2 personal 10in pizza 1 cheese 1 meat lovers for takeout, very expensive at 9.99 & 14.00 compared to other pizzeria in proximity radius (I don't mind paying for good quality food if it's perfect) again it's a tourist spot so I guess they can charge higher prices, pretty quickly I got the pizzas hot and ready before I could finish my beverage, counter girl was very nice and polite (owner daughter I found out), finally got home look under pizza an was burnt charred like they had the oven way to hot, ok not a deal breaker but I would have not served it to a customer, pizza taste was ok for being burnt on bottom, nothing to rave about, I always give business benefit of doubt maybe they had a bad day or just not on point that day... So I figured a week later I would try again 2nd time, to see if was same or better or worse this time I went in, no customer whatsoever in business, ordered same, 2 10in personal 1 cheese & 1 meatlovers an 1 beverage came to $30.04. Best pizza in the area hands down

It will be a great spot for the ATV'ers and tourists that are coming back from cabins and rides. The service was great with no issues in seating, ordering, or help - they were very nice!

The vibe is cozy and laid-back, perfect for hanging out with friends or winding down after a long day. We ordered the nachos- nothing Michelin rated, but the perfect snack when paired with late night drinks and pinball. We ordered the full serving, but next time would get a half since we were unable to finish it. We spent most of the evening chatting with the friendly bartenders. One of them was newer (I think her name was Cat), and when I couldn't decide on a cocktail, she offered to make me a surprise drink based on what I like. She came up with a sour cherry vodka creation that was absolutely delicious -- spot-on for my taste! The main bartender was amazing as well, I believe her name was Ophelia (it started with an "O"). The music, decor, and overall atmosphere make this place feel like a cool neighborhood hangout. Everyone there was super welcoming, and if we lived in Knoxville, we'd definitely be regulars. Highly recommended for anyone who loves great drinks, classic pinball, and good company!

I've been to Boathouse / Bubba's twice now on different visits to Norris Lake. The place is a…read moretypical no-nonsense, unpretentious lakeside restaurant, with most of the dining space and bars located under a large covered outdoor space that is floating on the lake. While they're mostly known for drinks and food, they occasionally host live music. And then there's the name confusion: Bubba's Brews is now known as Boathouse at 33, but I feel like the Bubba's name is going to stick around a while for locals... as "Boathouse at 33" doesn't roll off the tongue quite the same way. Now let's get to the food severed at Bubba's, which is more like pub or bar food--wings, nachos, tacos, etc. I recommend the wings, fried catfish tacos, and nachos. All of these are great. On the weekends, Bubba's serves pit-smoked meats like brisket and grilled wings (these are different than the fried wing which are on their menu every day). The day I tried the brisket, it was just okay (it just needed to be smoked a bit more so it would be more tender). But I know briskets can be hard to perfect, so maybe it was just an off day. I am, however, eager to try the smoked wings, but it seems I keep visiting on the days they don't have them. As for the staff at Bubba's, they are all fantastic! Everyone is attentive and super nice! Final thoughts: If you're heading over to Norris Lake for a vacation (or if you live nearby), be sure to check this place out!

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!)

DO NOT COME HERE ON A HOLIDAY. Ive been to a lot of marinas. And this one by far was the worst one…read moreI've ever been too in my entire life. 1. We had to clean our own table off to sit somewhere. 2. They were out of ice so no one had any cold beverages, and the bartenders were so rude about it refusing to make drinks even though we said no ice was fine and also they out of majority of liquor. 3. We came on 4th of July and there was only 3 waitresses running the entire restaurant, we waited 3 hours on our food order just to find out they cancelled it 2 hours ago. Then they had to retake our order another 3 times to get it put in. 4. When the food finally came 4 hours later, the burgers came out raw, and was still missing half our order. 5. Then they tried to charge us for food we didn't even get. The management for this place really needs to do better. You'd think they would be more proactive about stocking liquors and assign more waitresses than usual for a holiday. And also if your entire restaurant out of ice should a manager go buy bags of ice to help the business do well on one of the busiest nights for a marina? I'm Baffled and what a shit show it was.
