“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!“

“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.“

“We have been coming to Arrowhead twice a year since 2015. We were afraid that 2025 would be our last year. So we were pleasantly surprised to see that a new couple were interested in buying and bringing back Arrowhead for many more years to come. We just finished up our spring get together with the Feather Craft boaters. Chantal, Martin, and Scott were very welcoming and did everything they could to assure our stay was a great one. The rooms were clean and you could see and smell the clean from the moment you walked in. They arranged a catered dinner for us made sure we had tables and everything else we needed up under the covered pavilion. The resort remains family friendly and dog friendly. I believe we all left there feeling assured that come September our stay will go off without a hitch. I’m local so I look forward to seeing Arrowhead come back to a mainstay for our lakes, rivers, and community. A place we can depend on in the future as we once did when Louann was the owner. Thanks Chantal and Martin for a great week and I look forward to many more summer visits.“

“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“

“We were passing through and decided to stop since we no longer have a Shoney’s in our hometown. The food was great , service was great, and my kids loved getting to try their first hot fudge cake!“

“First timers at this place who are now lifers. The food was amazingly good and big portions. The waitress was so helpful and welcoming. We returned to rent a pontoon as well. Definitely would god back. We at fried mushroom and pickles and crackalacking chicken sandwich. All was amazing.“

“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.“
