“great fried catfish! Great food in a unexpected bar. Returning soon!“

“Hard to get to.“

“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.“

“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!“

“We were blown away by this Shoneys! The food was all good and hot, the buffet was well stocked and fresh, and the restaurant was very clean. Our service was wonderful, too. And this was on a random Monday at lunch… would absolutely come back if we lived close.“

“Went to Crow’s Nest at the marina on Sunday (3 days after their “re-opening” with upgrades!), and it was fabulous. Service was top notch and I am sure we will be back plenty of times this summer. Food and drinks were great and arrived at our table quickly.“

“I usually don't do reviews unless a place is really good or really bad. I'm very impressed with this place. We've recently eaten here a handful of times and I have to say the food is extraordinary and they have great customer service. You can go spend $12 on the same old slapped together garbage at McDonalds and Wendy's or you can spend $12 on a premium meal at Burger Station.“

“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.“

“Super nice folks, fed our entire crew for a fair price but more importantly the food was top notch. The soups and banana pudding definitely get 2 thumbs up. Thank you all“

“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!“
