“The best food & service.“

“Chuck’s Deli in Harriman, Tennessee is an absolute gem for breakfast. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a welcoming atmosphere and a level of cleanliness that stands out immediately. The place is spotless, inviting, and feels genuinely cared for. Ashley, our waitress and manager, made the experience even better. She was incredibly polite, attentive, and generous with her time, making sure we were cared for and had everything we needed. Her professionalism and pride for her restaurant added a personal touch that’s hard to find these days. And the food was fantastic. Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. It’s the kind of breakfast that makes you want to come back the next morning and the one after that. Not to mention, the prices are unbeatable for the portions you are given! Whether you're a local or just passing through, Chuck’s Deli is absolutely worth the stop. Highly recommend!“

“Salad bar was very good. Please note that some “cold” items were too close to, or even under, the heat lamps. Saylor was my waitress. She was excellent and even though she gave me written instructions on how to rate five stars I must give four because of the potential for foods kept at the wrong temperature. This could be a food safety issue.“

“On August 5, my husband, daughter, and I stopped at Cracker Barrel in Harriman. We were on our first outing in an unfamiliar van, a new venture for us with him going out and using his wheelchair. We were returning from the Vanderbilt ALS Clinic in Nashville. It had been a long day and we were having quite a rough time trying to get my husband situated but the staff was patient and courteous through it all. We appreciate that. Thank you. We would also like to thank the unidentified person(s) who paid for our meals. It was so very kind of you. You blessed us and lifted our spirits. May God bless you all.“

“I would like to say thank you to the gentleman that paid for my families lunch today @ the crow's nest at Blue springs. We try making this trip yearly on the kids birthday because they like going to Sand Island and for lunch they pick a place on the river to eat. Last year we went to the crowd nest, so that's what Kenzie wanted to do for her birthday today. Little did we know that a nice gentleman would be picking up our bill. I'm still in awe that someone would be willing to pick up a check especially a family of 4. I feel that thank you is not enough for your kind deed.“

“We live in Kingsport, TN and travel to Nashville often. We always stop at this Shoney's. It's Father's Day! Super busy full house at 2:30 pm, but was sat in less than 5 minutes. Buffet was hot and full. Great place to eat, even when it's not Father's Day.“

“The bullet boats disturb our mornings and evenings, for no other reason than "speed" up and down our narrow coves. Be a good neighbor. The original family, who owned it for generations, would be appalled.“

“We stopped in tonight for dinner and had a great meal! We had the 12ct corn nuggets for starters! They came out crunchy and amazing!!! I had one of the numerous specials on the board, kraut and weenies, my 2 sides were cole slaw and mashed potatoes… my meal was absolutely delicious! My wife had the patty melt on Texas toast and onion rings!! The rings were deep fried perfectly and had an awesome crunch! The melt was cooked to perfection and very delicious, I was able to eat a few bites to make this review! We will definitely be back and looking forward to breakfast on Saturdays there real soon! I strongly recommend you stop by and give them a try, your taste buds will thank you! Great food, atmosphere, and staff!!“

“Great food, great service, always clean....10 stars!!!!“

“Six of us went to dinner this evening, and we sat out on the covered deck. The sun was setting, and the staff was kind enough to lower the blinds so we were very comfortable. Everyone was very kind and helpful, and the service was great. Best of all, the food was amazing. A few head catfish and said it was outstanding, and I had the steak salad. I haven't had steak that tender in a lot of years. Whatever you do, leave room for dessert. The selection had a stumped for a while, because it all sounded wonderful. I can't recommend this place enough!“
