Tellico Marina - Maryville

This is a fantastic spot to enjoy a delicious meal by the lake. You can either drive or boat over, and there’s plenty of seating available both outside and inside. Be sure to try the fried catfish—it’s lightly battered and fried, making it incredibly light and tasty. Don't miss the onion rings; they’re fantastic! The staff is wonderful and attentive, ensuring a great dining experience.

I had a fantastic day out with friends. The slip was clean and well-kept.

I've visited this restaurant a few times, and during my last visit, it seemed like some of the staff were in a bad mood. When we sat down, it appeared the kitchen was closed, as the servers were busy removing condiments from all the tables. One server approached our table, took everything without a word, and left the previous diners' trash on our table while looking visibly irritated. My girlfriend even gave me a look that said, "Yikes." On a positive note, the atmosphere has improved a bit since the previous owner took over. Unfortunately, the prices haven’t followed suit; charging $12 for a Tito’s soda feels a bit excessive.

I stopped by to check it out and really enjoyed a refreshing drink while taking in the peaceful lake view. I'm definitely planning to return!

Oh my goodness, the mac queso is incredible! I tried the mac queso with buffalo chicken, while my wife opted for the one with pulled pork, and both dishes were fantastic. However, I can’t give them a five-star rating because the first-come, first-served seating policy can lead to some awkward moments and frustration. We were repeatedly cut in front of by people who arrived after us, which led to some tension among several waiting groups. Additionally, they didn’t have enough menus to go around—this is a basic necessity for any restaurant. How can we place an order without knowing what's available?
