River Grill

First visit for us great atmosphere. Very busy-worth our wait. Thankful for our server, Brandi - she sure had her best together-very friendlt made sure our food & service was good. Best steak for a very long time for me. Will return.

I ate here Saturday night for the first time. We had a party of 5. Everyone was served our plate at different times. First plate to last plate was a 25 minute difference. Three out of the five plates had something wrong. Food was mediocre- honestly I’ve had fast food that tasted better. I don’t typically leave reviews but $135 dinner that my dog got to eat the majority of is worth a review.

See my Yelp review as it’s very long and detailed 6-4-22. Complete menu is there along w many pics and details on steaks n beer! Great place to eat. Great steaks cooked dead on. Huge beer mugs prob 30oz at least! Great service. No long wait time for us to get in or get our food at 5:10pm on a Saturday!

Service was excellent. Love the atmosphere here. Music just loud enough, comfortable feel, nicely decorated. Menu has plenty of options we hear it is new and we liked it! The smothered chicken was juicy & flavorful. Not the least bit dry & the perfect balance of veggies. Cheese, sauce. I'd love to see them offer it as a Philly chicken sandwich. Catfish was nice size pieces(don't like the large filets, they can be fatty & fishy. Breading well seasoned. Slaw was nice, but hushpuppues were a tad overdone on the outside, though soft on inside. Just a little too dark/crunchy for us. At first glance we thought they'd be burnt, hard & dry, but the inside was nice. Loaded baked potatoes worth the upcharge. It was huge, flavorful & cooked perfectly.

My favourite place to Eat in the area. The restaurant is beautiful. The atmosphere friendly, welcoming and with the best steak in East Tennessee. The reputation of the food and service has carried many states so if visiting the area especially during busy times at Dale Hollow Lake call ahead and reserve a table. You dont want to miss your chance to fine dine t the best place in town ✨️
