So ambiance and service I can't make remarks about. But the foood baby, it did what it needed to do. First time trying and had to order again before I left. The Crawfish (tried it on the second time ordered) was the best I had in awhile, the shrimp and crab legs were very good, cooked to perfection. The flavor and the heat

Seated at 9:30pm on a Wednesday night. EXCELLENT service. Even though they were closing at 10pm…read morethey treated us very very well. Server let us know the kitchen was closing soon, so we put in our order promptly. Food came out HOT and FRESH. Very pleased with our experience. Music was at a moderate comfortable volume. Only thing, this restaurant is pricey. Just be aware. The wood grilled shrimp was worth, maybe, about $16 at best. Overall... well prepared and presented nicely. Service was good and accommodating, even near closing time on a Wednesday. Wednesday, May 20, 2026

We go to Chattanooga pretty frequently but just stopped at The Boathouse for a late lunch. We found…read moreour new go-to on the river to enjoy drinks and food. We sat outside with a great view of the water. It was hot but felt great on the patio with the shade and ceiling fans. Our server was great. We started with the bread and oil appetizer as well as the onion rings. Both were good but the onion rings were delicious. The portion could have probably served 3-4. The batter was light and they were not greasy at all. The drinks were made well. I had a Kentucky Bird and my wife had the Pain Killer. We were kind of full after the apps so we didn't order an entree. However, we did try the Apple Pecan Bread Pudding in a bourbon sauce and with vanilla ice cream. It was delicious! Overall, the atmosphere, service and food were outstanding. We will be back and I recommend trying when in Chattanooga.

I stopped in here tonight (Friday night) after a long day at work. I saw an Instagramer post a…read morereview and thought ain't no way it's that good! Well he ain't lie!! The sausage was THE BOMB and better than anything else on the plate even though the shrimp and crablegs were seasoned amazingly! Honestly the whole plate was delicious! But I'd come back for just a sausage. I mean it was spicy and DELICIOUS!!! This place can't hold me in a "trap" but I think it might! This is going on my fave list!! Plus the older gentleman at the counter was warm and welcoming. He said it was a busy evening but remembered my order when I left my ticket in the car. Now if you don't call ahead, you gonna wait BUT this will be THE BEST wait you have for a to-go meal. Yes, I said it's to-go! There's a few bar stools but plan to take your meal home so you can rub your feet together while enjoying your feast in your pj! And like me, you'll be "crap trapped!"

Omg, omg, O-M-G, the food here is amazing. We thought the restaurant was a sit down but no matter,…read moreit still tasted great in our hotel room that was 30 minutes away.

After reading all the reviews we headed south and are pleased to share that everything and everyone we encountered were absolutely top notch...food was prepared perfectly from the breads, calamari, trout and swordfish; and the proportions more than enough to require a stroll along the river after the Chocolate chocolate cake. Our server was amazing and you can't beat the riverfront location and views. They don't take reservations and those negative reviews usually involved large parties and special needs that take time to accommodate. Check Scottie's out, and enjoy! I would have given 5 Stars except for the pay to park phenomenon and QR codes that can be just annoying and have appeared in every major city. Nothing is free anymore including parking. We will be back.

You're definitely paying for the scenery because the food was underwhelming. We ordered six items,…read moreand three out of the six lacked flavor. The gumbo tasted like canned chili. The stuffed mushrooms did not taste fresh and also lacked flavor. The calamari lacked flavor as well and was a big disappointment. The server was nice and set our expectations, advising that some of the items we ordered were more of an acquired taste, but we were still disappointed. There was a server change at one point, and the new server was not careful when delivering the food and spilled the gumbo upon arrival. Considering the price and value, this place is definitely a one and done.

The prices are a bit high, but other than that a great experience. I ate a seafood/crawfish plate…read morethat was great! I even took an order to my Uncle Ernie before he passed away, cause he loved seafood and he thoroughly enjoyed it before his passing! It's one of the last times I got to see him before he passed and he was SO happy and excited about the seafood and crawfish!!

My husband and I decided to give Juicy Seafood a try. He's the seafood fan between the two of us,…read morewhile I'm definitely not. He thought the seafood was good, but it wasn't his favorite place we've been. Since seafood isn't really my thing, I ordered the burger instead. Unfortunately, it wasn't my favorite. It had a bit of a fishy residue/taste, which I'm guessing comes from being cooked in a kitchen that primarily serves seafood. If you love seafood, that may not bother you at all, but as someone who doesn't enjoy seafood, it just wasn't for me. The staff was friendly, and the restaurant was clean. Overall, it just wasn't quite our style, but if you're a big seafood lover, it may be worth trying for yourself since tastes can definitely vary.

I ordered the Carne Asada, which is usually my "go to" when I eat at a mexican restaurant. Wait time wasn't so bad. The chips and salsa were good too, the tortilla chips were crunchy and salsa was flavorful. But unfortunately, my Carne Asada fell flat. I asked the beef to be cooked at medium but the beef was tough and overcooked. I was surprised at how dry it was. There were some pieces of the beef that were decent, but overall just too overcooked and dry for me. It was pretty disappointing actually for my first time here. Service was great, they were attentive and checked up on us from time to time. I just felt like the Carne Asada price at $17.99 did not correlate with the quality of meat at all. The other sides were good, like the avocado, beans and rice. And the overall portion size was great too. But for the dish as a whole, I can't justify the price for that. I've been to other mexican restaurants in the area with better Carne Asada that I'd choose in a heartbeat. Despite that experience, I'd come back here but I'd definitely order something else.

The Fettuccine Rocco--no spice and equally delicious! The Fish 'n Chips tastes as good as my favorite restaurant on the coast in San Francisco (known for theirs). We've had several of the burgers and none have disappointed...but the TN Whiskey Glazed burger is to die for! *Chefs kiss* My least favorite dish so far, has been the Maui Chicken. It was missing something...needed a sauce, pineapple, or something. For desserts, if you're a chocolate lover, you must try the creamy Lava Cake--and then there's the decadent Crème Brûlée...(Wow!) The atmosphere here is relaxed and family-friendly. We've had the best servers! Attentive and hospitable. All in all, we love our gem here in Ooltewah so if you're just passing through, or live further in the city, it'll be well worth your drive. Give the Local Goat a try!

Now, the place had more noise than a family reunion after someone mentions politics--two teenage softball teams carrying on, laughing, living large. Hard to fault that. Better than silence so thick you can hear your own regrets. Food showed up quick, which is about all you can ask when you're hungry enough to consider eating the menu. And it was good--honest good. Not "tell your mama about it" good, but solid, dependable, "yep, I'd order that again" good. Prices didn't make you feel like you'd just financed somebody's boat, either. Beer was cold--like it ought to be, like it better be--and the waitress understood to be there exactly when we needed her and vanishing when we didn't. That's an art form. Now the atmosphere... well, it had all the charm of a place that once had big decorating plans and then decided, "Eh, this'll do." A little on the bare side. Felt like a Friday night that never quite got dressed up. But I'll tell you this--I'd go back. And that, right there, is about the highest praise you can give a place without writing a love letter to the chef.
