The water is so far down a hill it's not like being near it. Tons of geese around and the atmosphere was OLD people as there is a Senior home right next to this place . Don't get fooled by the name and the location of the water near the place. This could be a great place but it seems like it's poorly managed and set up. Sorry it just didn't grab us

We found this place on google maps and so glad we did! We were heading back from Cade's Cove to GA…read more This place doesn't look fancy on the outside, but the food is absolutely delicious! The chicken broccoli afredo pizza was the star of the show. It was absolutely amazing. If we lived closer, I would be stopping by regularly for a slice or two. They have a pizza, all you can eat salad, and drink combo which filled us up. Salad bar was well maintained, clean, and had a nice variety. Inside was clean, and I know this sounds crazy, but I was excited about the bathroom doors opening out instead of in! I didn't feel like I was having to lean against a toilet seat to open and close the door. Service was great. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and kept our drinks filled. She also checked on us often.

As BBQ goes, this is a solid option. Not close to the best I've ever had (Greenville SC); not the…read moreworst. I'd say 3.5* which I'll round up to 4. The extra 1/2 star is because they have turnip greens and many places don't. That said, it's more the processed greens than the homemade kind that is thicker and more flavorful. The brisket was mostly good. A little dry and too much fat though. I prefer juicer, lean cuts. This had some nice meaty pieces. But, just didn't completely hit the mark on taste. Overall: I'd come back. It's a good location right in the middle of downtown Loudon. Good vibe and quick service.

However, I didn't like the food at all. Wanting fish but not catfish, I ordered the mahi mahi tacos, and didn't even touch two of the tacos. The fish was dry and flavorless, and the salsa on top didn't help much as it also didn't have anything to it. Mahi mahi is tough to do right, and this one was no exception. My friend commented their grilled chicken on the salad was also dry and flavorless. While I love the atmosphere being right on the dock and taking part in trivia, I didn't have a good experience with the food.

Carl's is easy to find as there is a large, slightly faded, sign out front. The parking stalls are…read moreparallel to the road and there is a wide paved area between the restaurant and the road, so it is easy to pull into the stall. There are also stalls on the back side of the building. There is one ordering sign between each pair of stalls, so you make sure you are on the correct side if you do not have passenger. The menu is pretty extensive. There are several burger options along with hot dogs and chicken sandwiches. The prices are very good, especially for the baskets which include fries. Oh, and they only take cash so make sure you stop at the ATM before you drop by. When you are ready to order, push the green button. The server answered immediately and read back out order afterwards. Our food came out in about ten minutes. It was served in a bag with lots of ketchup packets as well as some salt packets. There was only one carhop and she was quite busy but greeted us with a smile and made sure we had all we needed. Unfortunately, both burgers were average at best. The double cheeseburger had two thin meat patties which had little to no taste. The veggies were fresh and crisp and the bun was fresh and soft, but the meat simply did not add anything to the sandwich. The Carl's Fat burger was no different. The meat patty was thicker but really did not have much taste. The curly fries and regular fries were pretty good. Both were hot, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. While they were certainly busy and seem to have a large local following, the burgers were a disappointment. This would be a place to stop for fries, and the milkshakes sounded delicious.

All I can say is wow. Ashley was a wonderful and welcoming waitress. Really digging Tennessee hospitality. We just live up the road so I am sure we will be coming here often.
