There was seven of us ordering basically the same and one of us got their food and 30 minutes later we started getting ours. Most everyone's tickets were wrong.... I guess after 90 minutes you kinda forget what people ordered and start just putting stuff on the bill that wasn't ordered. Won't be back again. It was awful!!!

We are novices to boating but were very pleased with the boat provided. The lake had several coves to have fun in. We aren't use to not being able to drop an anchor, and there was a learning curve to successfully and safely stopping in a cove. They had decent food available and karaoke going that evening. I would do it again and definitely recommend.

The food came out in a reasonable amount of time after we placed our order. Nice to have entertainment which they have every weekend.

She is a wealth of knowledge and very willing to help you however she is able. We rented a slip and it was in good condition and our boat was safe. Convenient trailer parking. One word of caution: if launching/retrieving on Fri or Sat, the parking lot gets very full and it's difficult to navigate a trailer through. And, last but not least, Jimmy's restaurant is one of the best on the entire lake (separate review of Jimmy's). Highly recommend this marina!

We purchased a cabin here in 2022 with intent of moving to another marina. Upon getting to know…read morethe staff AND owner we decided keep cabin here. The change made since we have arrived are INCREDIBLE! Many of the old boats left from previous ownership that were dilapidated have been removed which has made the Marina look sooo much better! The increase of options in the Marina store with merchandise / food has expanded (not to mention the fountain drinks AND adult beverages). The pricing of adult beverages doesn't leave you wishing you had stopped in town, in fact some are cheaper than you can buy at the grocery! And entertainment???? July 4th fireworks last couple years has been pretty awesome! Every other weekend live music has been great (may be one who ended the night in Rocky Top with New York / New York but I don't see him back on the calendar! lol) And if you do have a cabin at Straight Creek and haven't ventured up to the Marina when they have an event, I hope you do! Great group of people are there! Moving on to staff...FIRST, let me say what they do is not contained inside the Marina store and the gas pumps. These employees take care of a heckuva lot more behind the scenes that what anyone cares to think of. Strong winds can come thru and break a line and a cabin gets loose, as a result a water line breaks free (sometimes unknown until cabin / boat owner arrives), oh and let's not forget (we've all been guilty) some forgot to arrange to have their tanks pumped and they call upon arrival wanting an immediate fix. The entire staff does everything they can do take care of all the requests we send in in a timely manner. Have there been hiccups? Suuuure, none of them are Gods but in moments when i've seen them stop to take a quick breather...I've seen them jump back up on to the next task. If you are looking for a new Marina home I hope people will give Straight Creek a look! I don't think you will be disappointed with what the Marina and its staff have to offer!
