On a girlz weekend we decided to drive over the GA line to TN for dinner. Quaint restaurant definitely wasn't expecting it to be a trailer, but they did a great job with what they have. Food was ok, the chef is 1st generation Italian. Drinks were great. Overall worth the money and the owners were lovely. read more

I recently relocated to Tennessee. I was losing hope with the immense amount of chain restaurants. This restaurant restored my faith in eating out here. Super fresh, up to date menu, super clean, and yummy cocktails. The owners, servers, and bartender were very friendly and accommodating as each one stopped by. read more

The Waterfront Bar - Cucumber Jalapeño Margarita - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Copperhill, Tennessee

We've stopped here a couple times but this is the first time we've had food. The menu offer several unique entrees along with a special each day. I had the shrimp with polenta (it's called sea critters and something...I can't recall). Everything was delicious and cooked to order, so no assembly line here. I can't wait to go back and try something new! read more

The Waterfront Bar - Shrimp with polenta. Yummy! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Copperhill, Tennessee

Great red snapper special. Also loved the very fresh romaine Caesar Salad with anchovy and house made croutons. Chocolate mouse with a bit of bourbon adder. How can that be bad. read more

Great atmosphere and even greater staff. Dani is a gem and took great care of us. This is the first time we came in with the new owner and food was 100 times better than it was before. Highly recommend! read more

Super cool spot sitting on the river - great music and vibe with a fast moving staff. The special thing about this place is the amazing menu - shrimp, polenta and lots of gluten free options, real Sicilian chef driving the menu and then strong drinks and fun staff. Add in the tiki bar down the hill by the river and you have a perfect trifecta of fun! Don't forget if you float the river pull off, stop, dry off, get out of the sun and have some cocktails or a bite to eat to refresh! read more

The Waterfront Bar - A special request gluten free extra meat meal - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Copperhill, Tennessee

Our family of 8 really wanted to like this. It's wasn't horrible but it wasn't 4.5 star great. Everyone was super nice. The restaurant is very clean. Great prices especially for drinks. Nice outdoor seating with river view. Would go back for drinks and atmosphere but not for dinner. There were a few items off the menu that we wanted. We were told at the time of ordering that they were not available. It would have been nice knowing that as they handed the menus to us. The special of the day was a hamburger? What kind of special is that? The food came out quickly and hot. It was just lacking flavor. The skirt steak was borderline dry, thankfully had the mushroom toppings. The potatoes were really good. The chicken was dry as well. Again thankfully had a little sauce. I usually do not add salt to my food but has to add just to get some flavor. read more

The bartender was the most disrespectful person I have ever had to deal with. She yelled at the group of us for another patron talking when she started talking. She then proceeded to tell us that we could read the menu for drinks and we have eyes because she did not want to tell us what they had. After that we asked if this was one of the restaurant that was rude on purpose and she then stared going off that we were not her boss and she does not need to be nice to us and if we were her boss then she would be nice. read more

Had lunch at this awesome establishment today! The food and service did not disappoint a long with a beautiful view of the Ocoee River. Theo was our server who was on point along with the owner who very attentive to all guest! Did I mention how clean and beautiful the inside was? Loved it!! Great local establishment that is a must to try! And to the owner... thank you for your service! Cheers! read more

GREAT FOOD!! Limited menu but far from your typical "bar fare". No fried foods. Service has always been exceptional for us. Love that the owner visits your table during your visit. Rustic southern bar and restaurant that is exceptionally clean and homey. We frequent every time we are in town for food or drinks. Waterfront is an outstanding establishment for Copper Hill//McCaysville. Definitely was needed! Highly recommend! read more

Great Food! Awesome friendly service. The out side patio was the place to sit by the river and enjoy your evening.

The staff were nice, but the food was inedible. The Caesar salad was warm, the chicken strips looked undercooked and had a strange taste. Also, the ravioli had zero taste. The white wine was served warm and the all the food was served on flimsy paper/bamboo plates. Probably just a place to grab a drink (with ice) read more

The description on their menu definitely was much better than their food. Food appeared to come out of a can. Very bland and meat was tough. Service was good and people friendly. read more

What a treat! Stopped here one day after rafting and found this gem. Gourmet food Sicilian-Southern fusion. I had the ravioli and it was awesome! read more

First time here & it didn't disappoint. I had the flank steak & my lady had a pasta special. Both were quite tasty & frankly unexpectedly good. The owner is a total hoot with a great personality. Definitely won't be our last time enjoying the view of the river, great service & scrumptious food! read more

Great food loved the service and very nice deck out back to sit by the river. Has a little wait but it's not bad.

I took the Blue Ridge train from Blue Ridge. Everyone else poured into places right by the train. This place is farther on the map they give you(#15). Was looking for a place to eat with a view and where they had table service. This place had it all and it did not disappoint. Absolutely delicious food, super friendly staff and owners. Outstanding ambiance. Only place in town that has a full bar. Take the extra walk (it's really not far) and stop by. read more

Always good food and great service. Also has a nice deck to sit out by the river. Will definitely be back again

Our favorite place in the downtown area. We've been several times for cocktails and sat outside. The owners are nice people to chat with. A separate time we took our family for lunch and the owner was really accommodating with meals for the kids. The fishing area and small tiki bar are really cute. We'll definitely be back! read more

The entire dinner experience was great. Who would have ever thought - a trailer, but the food and atmosphere were excellent. I highly recommend. Harmon Smith read more

Excellent service. Super attention from Daniel and Dorothy. Great food. Lovely evening out. Thanks.

We normally have a neighborhood get together and occasionally stop by here for great food and cocktails which this is one of the only places in the area that you can have liquor and is also on the River. read more

not sure about the rest of the menu, but the pulled pork sandwich was not good. pork was more large chunk chopped than pulled and was fatty, bbq sauce very bland , fries and bread were nothing special, boring, overpriced. food was not hot. my first visit here and dissapointed in this sandwich. outdoor deck is awesome. three stars for good ambiance and ok service read more

The food and service was outstanding. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone looking for a wonderful meal.

Fantastic food and amazing customer service! Excellent ambience and beautiful location!

We had a really nice meal. Love the outdoor dining area overlooking the Toccoa River. Ice cold beer, excellent service. I had the shrimp dish, my husband had the chicken. Both were yummy! Ended with a slice of key lime pie. Highly recommend! read more

Was impressed with the food and the drinks. New establishment but wr sure hope that they are here to stay!

Very nice place. It's a very unassuming place with great food and great service. The staff is very welcoming. Greeted with a smile and a handshake. You feel like you belong there when you walk in the door. Prices are reasonable, and the deck along the river is a great place to chill. Dorothy was an excellent server, and was very nice. We will be back! read more

This place is amazing!! Skip McCaysville and come straight to Copper Hill to thin hidden gym!! Food and drinks on point!!

My husband and I went here for the 4th of July weekend not once but twice in a row. We are visiting from Florida and were so delighted with such incredible food, drinks and ambience. The Sicilian Chef, wow. I have traveled all over the country including Italy and have never had Italian Sausage that is made and cooked like this. My husband had chicken Parmesan and we have been in Italian restaurants in New York and Chicago that couldn't even compare. Loved the orange creamsicle frozen drink. My husband and I commented how we wish we lived closer to this place. Also loved the ambiance of being on there porch watching the rodeo and the fireworks. Simply Magical!! read more

Went to lunch. Two people ordered a side salad. It only had spring lettuce and we were charged $5.00 each. No tomatoes, no cucumber nothing. Two of us ordered ice tea. Got one refill each. They charged us $6.00 each. They charged for refills. One person ordered the ravioli and it looked like it was cooked on the grill. They said the sauce was horrible. One person had lasagna and same complant about sauce. The waitress was good. She appeared to be the only one working the floor. I think the management is trying to hard to be something they are not. Should stick to bar food. Drink prices were good on alcohol. First thing you see when you walk in us the bar. Tables are to the right. Paper cups and paper plates. They have real silverware with cloth napkins. Great place to drink. You can sit outside and look at the river.​​​​​​​​ read more

We had a lovely dinner at this place! They had a special for Italian Heritage Month of ziti bolognese which my husband, being Italian, had to have. Food was delicious, service was great, and they gave us dessert for our anniversary. They called their restaurant "Redneck Sicilian" style. Loved it!! read more

Great food and even better service! In an unassuming little town of Copperhill! My wife and stopped by for a early dinner and was not disappointed! read more

So many options at this small riverside bar and restaurant. Enjoy a Jack and coke or other mixed drink inside at the bar. Grab a beer and a seat on the porch overlooking the Ocoee River. Take in some entertainment with a glass of wine at the downstairs Tiki Bar. But don't forget to have a seat and order from their short menu. Our table of eight enjoyed the flank steak, the shrimp and polenta as well as the ravioli. The dressing on the side salad was especially nice. Can't wait to go back and try the chicken or the salad entree. Nice, freshly cooked meals on paper plates in a comfortable environment. What's not to love? read more
