    Fried pie
    Jessica H.

    Stopped in on a recommendation from our white water rafting tour guide for fried pie. Being from New York we had never heard of it and had to try. We tried the s'mores, apple and strawberry pies topped with ice cream. They are a pie pocket, if you will, perfectly deep fried. It was a quick and delicious pre-dinner dessert.

    What a great little find on our night here in the town of Ocee, TN, complete with chickens seeming to live in the bushes in front! Rustic, unassuming, cozy with a powerful tasty punch! There's a wide variety of dishes to choose from, I decided to go with the pork bbq sandwich and was not disappointed. Tender, more chopped than pulled, deliciousness! I put a dollop of coleslaw on top cause that's how we do it in VA. I'd been craving, of all weird things, fried okra and this joint served it up just right. We simply couldn't leave without indulging in homemade blackberry cobbler! The BEST!! Lastly, the service was excellent! Hight recommend! If we ever pass by this way again, we will definitely stop.

    Wondered into the Dam Deli for breakfast after rafting the previous day. We were seated after a brief wait as it was pretty busy. The main thing to know. This place cuts off breakfast at 11, no questions asked. I opted for the hand-battered chicken fried chicken and the turnip greens were great. Black eyed peas were decent. The meatloaf and pot roast didn't get much fanfare from our group but the burger looked great! Service was ok, they did display good teamwork for refills and clearing plates as our server took another large party so great awareness to help out. They had some local honey for sale and I guess I missed the pricing as I thought it was $12 but was actually $22, several others bought the honey as well so we left sweeter than we came. The waitress was gracious to redo our tabs and cash us out individually. It was a popular spot and felt like a rafting Cracker Barrel.

    Fried chicken livers, mac n cheese, sweet potato fries, and a roll!

    Came here after an afternoon rafting, so needless to say we were hungry! Took a moment for us to get seated, and although there was a table available for us at once there were not enough menus so we ended up using takeout menus. Initial spotty service was an issue throughout the meal, as it took a moment for our drinks to come through, get refills on our drink, etc, which surprised me as they did not seem that busy. Got the chicken livers and they were good but not the best I've ever had, same with the sweet potato fries and mac and cheese. Sampled some chips from a friends plate and they were really good. The food definitely hit the spot after a long day on the water, and I'd consider going back in part because the options are somewhat limited in the area.

    This is a great restaurant in Ocoee! We loved it, it has a great atmosphere, good service, and amazing food! I will return.

    Patty melt. Yum!!!

    We were in the area after visiting my son's gravesite, and were hungry. I did a quick search to try to find something fairly close and found the Ocoee Dam Deli. We were greeted quickly and seated. Staff were friendly and accommodating. It's a quaint little place with history of the Dam and the area on the walls. The decor was nice and welcoming, as were the staff. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. We asked him what he'd recommend. I got the Polk Dam Patty Melt with homemade chips and my husband got the Paradise Dam Pastrami Reuben. Both of our sandwiches were absolutely awesome. I would highly recommend the Patty Melt and would absolutely get it again. If you are on a road trip to the dam or the park nearby, I'd highly recommend a stop here. You won't be sorry!

    Golden Yolk

    I arrived at 1:16 PM on 2025-07-27. The restaurant was pretty packed at that time, but it wasn't…read moreoverly loud. I told the person at the front that I just need a table for 1, and she said the wait would be about 10 minutes. Thankfully though, I only had to wait 2 minutes and 12 seconds. The booth area I was seated it wasn't dirty or damaged, and it had a very classy look to it. I ordered the "Reese's Peanut Butter & Nutella French Toast", which comes with 2 eggs (I ordered sunny-side up) and sausage (I went with turkey sausage). The food took 17 minutes and 50 seconds to arrive. I note how long it took for transparency purposes only (I had a book with me to read, so I didn't mind the wait). After ordering, I did use the men's bathroom, which is a single bathroom (thankfully, it was vacant). Its not a very big bathroom, but I didn't feel claustrophobic in it, and was well kept. Here's my thoughts on each part of the meal: The eggs were cooked well and tasty The sausages (it came with 2) were not dry and didn't taste like frozen brand named sausages from a grocery story The French toast was great. Very peanut butter-y flavor (which is what I was wanting), and the strawberries were vibrant and sweet. It came with syrup on the side, but honestly, the French toasted was great even without the syrup (though I did put the syrup on after I tasted the toast as is). Overall, I was very satisfied with my meal and experience at the restaurant. Thanks to my server Kayla for being friendly, and thanks to Fisch (I hope I spelled your name right) for making a tasty meal. Now, I had mentioned to Kayla how I was interested in trying out the "American Dream Golden Pancake" meal at some future point, and after I had paid for the meal, a guy came to my table (I'm sorry, I didn't ask for your name) and not only inquired if I was satisfied with my meal but also offered me the "American Dream Golden Pancake" meal to take home for free. This was a highly unexpected goodwill offer which I took up. This meal also comes with 2 eggs (I chose scrambled) and sausage (I chose pork). Now, as with any meal you take to go, its not going to be as good as when you have it in the actual restaurant. Despite that however, I was able to reheat the meal good, and here's my thoughts on the items in the meal: The eggs were flavorful and not rubbery The sausage patty wasn't dry and was tasty The pancake was crispy (I toasted it in my oven), the strawberry and blueberry cremes were great. The strawberries and blueberries were sweet. Golden Yolk was a truly great spot to eat it, and if you're in the Cleveland, TN area, I'd highly recommend coming here. Update 2025-12-09: I came back to Golden Yolk for a lunch a little more than a week before my birthday. This time, my order was a Southwest Power Omelette with a side of Mixed Greens and Cinnamon Raisin Toast (I could've picked Sourdough or Wheat Berry). Everything was great, and since it was close to my birthday, I was given a free birthday biscuit topped with their Blueberry Dream Creme and whipped cream. I'd recommend coming here for birthdays.

    Visited the Golden Yolk on Saturday morning, and even though it was very busy, the wait was only…read moreabout 20 minutes. I ordered the Good Ole Boy breakfast, and it was excellent. It came with a huge flaky biscuit topped with a generous scoop of sausage and bacon gravy. The scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly, the potatoes were seasoned really well, and the bacon was nice and crispy. My husband got the build-your-own omelet, and it was very well made with fresh ingredients. The atmosphere was lively and a little loud, but it fit the restaurant perfectly with its modern Southern vibe. Pricing was a little high, but nothing crazy in today's market. Will return!
