    If there was a 4 1/2 on Yelp, this restaurant would be in that category. Ambience would be a 5, Cheers sits at the near end of a peninsula with a beautiful view of the hills of Blount County at a bend of Fort Loudon Lake. My wife and I ambled in on a Sunday afternoon and sat on the upper deck. We sat outside fully covered and very comfortable. Piped into the space was Island music so a really fun venue. We had excellent service so that would be a 5. The dishes were brought out piping hot as well. The food was more mixed as my wife ordered the fish tacos, the Mahi Mahi with a pineapple chutney, the fish was a little dry and the chutney needed more flavor, but the side of fried okra was perfect, so Okra 5 tacos 3 I had the Poppin' Shrimp which I would rate a 4 the homemade Cocktail sauce needed more horseradish, but the dish was crispy and I liked it. The star of the night were the French Fries, crisp and fried and beer battered by my guess they were perfect and highly recommended so a clear 5. The craft beers on draft were a 5 and multiple cocktails are offered.

    Gorgeous day to have lunch near Fort Loudon Lake! Hubby and I arrived half past noon, not overly crowded, but steady amount of patrons arriving by boat. Kitchen service was a little slow; however, our server Dawn, checked in on us for our needs and assured us she was checking in our meal. Dawn was professional, friendly and a delight to chat with. Our seating selection was perfect to enjoy our burger and fish & chips while taking in the views and cooling off with a couple of draught beers.

    Nice large outdoor seating area and we went on a Sunday so the live band was good. Restaurant was out of buffalo chicken dip which was disappointing but the service was very quick and other food was very good. I ordered the grilled chicken without provolone cheese . The rice was good as well. Overall great place after a nice day on the lake.

    Came back, had a large party of 15. Food came out timely, quality was very good, service was very attentive and location is nice! With a view of Fort Loudon. Come support a local gem.

    This place has some great views from both its outside venues, the restaurant and the tiki bar. My wife and I chose the Tiki Bar. We sat right on the balcony edge, and had a great view of the marina. We're entertained by watching all of the boaters come and go. Dawn, the bartender/server took great care of us. Their draught beer selection is limited, but I was satisfied with a Sam Adams. I tried the traditional fish and chips. The food took an unusually long time to arrive. We weren't in any hurry, so it wasn't a big deal. My meal was very good. The fish was tender and not overly breaded. The seasoned fries were a good compliment. The portion size was good too. We enjoyed the laid back and relaxing atmosphere, and the excellent service and conversation provided by Dawn. It's definitely somewhere we plan on returning too.

    Sara and Dawn are WONDERFUL!!! Those girls have some serious hustle while keeping a very friendly attitude! This place very casual and very much about the lake life so lots of locals (so I felt like I stood out in jeans). But these girls were so friendly and accommodating! I got the peel and eat shrimp. A few cocktails and few beers (don't judge). :) Total with tip came to $50. Not bad for such great service and fantastic view. Live music was a bonus!!

    Dawn was our server and she was awesome, kind and helpful. My wife and I shared the burger and we got the calamari as the side for no extra charge. My wife got the bloody and I got a beer. We will be back. :) the views of the water are perfect.

    The location is out of the way, but has a view that's worth the extra drive. We came on a Friday night and I'm not sure if they only have live music on the weekends or not - it was a bit loud for my preference, but it was also Friday night at a bar & grill. I ordered the peel & eat shrimp with broccoli & beer cheese. My daughter ordered the mild wings with French fries. Shew, those mild wings were pretty spicy, but delicious. So was everything else we ordered. Service was quick and attentive, and we'll be back!

    This place really had a lot going for it. Out-of-the-way location. Overlooking the water was beautiful. It felt like you were dining in a treehouse by a river. They had A live DJ, and that was fun. The location was all they really had going for it. the flavors were more like frozen french fries and pre done meals. My daughter got the cheddar, bacon french fries. Did I say frozen french fries? If you were hoping for crispy fluffy french fries and gooey cheese you would be very sad. The cheese was petrified on the french fries. No string, gooey cheese here. If you picked up one french fry you picked up the whole plate. My husband got their boneless chicken wings. The flavor was fine, but like I said it tasted like frozen chicken nuggets. I ordered the fish and chips. It's not that they tasted bad it just tasted like frozen fish reheated. We might be back for an event that we wouldn't go back for the food.

    Kept seeing signs for this place and thought we would give it a try. Cold beer and a killer patio are the main points here. The food is pretty good but definitely feels like bar food. The boneless wings were good, and my wife got the fish and chips. The batter wasn't greasy or thick but had a bit of a dense feeling to it. Would come back for beer and the patio, for sure.

    Grilled chicken wrap tossed in Buffalo sauce, wings,  broccoli & beer cheese

    We came via boat to eat here on a Sunday afternoon. The set up is great. Mostly all outside seating spread out on 3 tiered patios overlooking the water. Our server was attentive and sweet. We got the grilled chicken wrap tossed in Buffalo sauce with fries and the wings with a side of broccoli & beer cheese as well as a vodka soda and rum & coke. Food was great!! Especially for Marina food. Only complaint is it's a little pricey but I guess that's expected being on the water. With tip we paid $66. They have live music several nights a week. The guy who was playing entertaining. We enjoyed our whole experience here and will definitely be back!

Both things had no flavor though. Even with an herb butter, there was no flavor. Disappointing. The mac n cheese was the weirdest I have ever seen and my husband tasted it and then would not eat it. He said it was nasty. The cheese fries were ok. They usually come with a cheese sauce, but we asked for melted shredded cheese instead. They forgot to put the bacon on them. They were ok. My husband said his chicken teriyaki bowl was really good and it was huge. I think they probably do some things really well and some need some work. If I lived nearby I would eat here again to try other things.

My spouse could only say "disappointing" about his. He ordered Thunder Road Chicken Nachos and a Caesar Salad. The Thunder sauce only penetrated the first layer of chips, so he requested another mini-ramekin (an extra 50 cents). A layer of raw (not pickled) jalapeño slices, some with seeds, dotted the top of the dish and was too hot for his taste, even with a ramekin of sour cream to soften the heat. And the Caesar salad: Unfortunately the greens became rather limp (lacked crunchiness) when coated with an oil-and-vinegar-tasting dressing. Thankfully a generous sprinkling of fresh Parmesan cheese and ample croutons completed the salad and made it acceptable. Not yet no least was our attentive server, whose name sounds like rain, treated us well.
