We celebrated my husband's birthday here while we were visiting the area. It was recommended to us by our AirBnb host. The service was very attentive. The food was good and fresh. Italian/American cuisine. We were a bit surprised there was no alcohol available. We were looking forward to a cocktail after a long day of dirtbike riding, however the dessert display was impressive! We had the Snickers Chess pie, chocolate addiction, caramel pecan cheesecake and the brownie trifle. YUM! The ambiance was a quaint, quiet, and local, nice for a special occasion. read more

The food was great and it was the best service I've had in a very long time. Very cute place Would highly recommend read more

Fantastic locally owned restaurant. Food is incredible and reasonably priced. Quality unmatched and delicious. Save room for dessert as the owners are a world class chef and pastry chefs. read more

The food was absolutely delicous!!! All the staff were pleasant, outgoing and made the whole experience great! Desserts looks amazing ,but no room. That will be my next visit! read more

Got the Reuben sandwich. It's ok... a little smaller versus diners but not bad. Generous serving of chips. It was a little on the cold side, and probably could've done with more meat. Service was fine. Lots of parking read more

Went last night for the first time ever and let me tell you. The service was absolutely amazing and the food was also really good. I got a reservation for 8pm, and despite them closing in 30 minutes. our waitress was super sweet and helped give recommendations. The owner is also a doll. The restaurant is so beautifully decorated and had a comforting atmosphere to it. I ordered the Ribeye steak medium rare with their soup of the day and fettuccine alfredo, and it was all the best food I've ever had since moving to Tennessee 5 years ago. Definitely going again for my birthday next month read more

They Only take reservations and it is a very small restaurant so chances of getting to eat there are slim unfortunately..

This was my first time here and won't be my last. I got the tuna steak and it was delicious. The best I've ever had. This place was packed and I believe you have to have reservations as they stay packed. I understand why. There was a lot to chose from on the menu. The service was great. FYI they don't serve alcohol. When in town I will visit here again. read more

Suba's has been my favorite restaurant since our first time there on our first anniversary. We love the atmosphere, the staff are always nice, we are always treated very well, the food is PHENOMENAL. We make the drive up from Wilkesboro, NC just for Suba's sometimes. It's a small dining area, so reservations are highly recommended. We like to get take out for lunch and picnic on the parkway! 20/10 would definitely recommend read more

Suba's - Salsa Chicken & Baked Potato - Seafood Near Me - Mountain City, Tennessee

You must make a reservation. We made one on a Wednesday for Saturday and there were only two times left. I understand why. The menu is expansive and well thought out. I had a house salad, loaded baked potato and chicken cordon bleu. Everything was delicious. The dining room is small and very cute. The service was outstanding. The dessert looked amazing and we were tempted but didn't get any. I will be back! read more

Visiting from Florida. What a wonderfully small and welcoming establishment! From the time we arrived until we left everything was perfect! The lunch menu has so much to choose from...something for everyone. Lunch portions were sizable, the food was fresh, the dessert was heavenly and our server Julia was the best! We will definitely visit again! Please don't change a thing read more

I would give this place 17 stars if I could! We had heard rave reviews about this place and it definitely lives up to the hype. The service was amazing, Sierra gave us a ton of fun recommendations about the area and gave great advice on the best things to order. We tried the portobello sourdough burger and the Asian chicken tender salad - both were amazing. Do NOT skip dessert here - I'm still dreaming about the cookie dough chess pie. read more

Wonderful service and food! Wish I lived nearby! Love that southern hospitality ad well!

The food was good. Ambiance ok. Best service ever. Make sure to call ahead for reservations. Didn't care for the pies. Too heavy and rich. But my partner liked them. We shared the coconut and the butterscotch ones. Would definitely go back. read more

Food was quite tasty. We had chicken Parmesan with salads (homemade dressings) and I had vegetable medley and hubby had the asparagus. Hubby ordered the coconut cream pie which was delicious! Service was quick, friendly and efficient. We were seated in the corner and it was cold. I had my coat on the entire time. It was a cozy atmosphere other than that. We got waters. I thought it was pricey and wondered if they could lower prices if they didn't have an extensive menu. read more

Great food and service. It's getting harder every year to find a place like this. The owner even had a nice server lend us jumper cables to start a dead battery. Now that's full service. Thank you all. read more

Mountain city is lucky to have suck a great restaurant! I was a little surprised how packed it was and probably needed a reservation but they were able to split our party and accommodate us. Excellent food! Excellent service! read more

I would like to personally thank the owners and staff for going above and beyond with their business. I am from the Boston area, and now reside in Bar Harbor, Mount Desert Island, ME. My parents retired in Mountain City, Tennessee. My mother passed away about 8 years ago, but my father insisted on staying there. He got sick a couple weeks ago and ended up in the hospital, so I decided I would fly back to see what was going on with him. I have a few good friends in the area, and they went above and beyond offering to help me in whatever I needed. So I wanted to take them out to treat them to a special meal. The first night after I made sure my father was all good, we went to a bbq restaurant and I went to pay and they had already beat me to it. I was bummed out because I wanted to do something special for them. The last night I was there, we desided to go to your restaurant, as I heard many amazing things about it. My friends called and you had told them that you were booked solid and had no tables left that night. After they called and told me, I said "give me one second, I'll call you back." I called and spoke to one of your staff, and explained the situation that my father was sick and I had flown all the way there and wanted to treat my friends for helping me so much and that your restaurant I had heard amazing things about. I have dined in some of the best restaurants on this earth, and I really wanted to bring them to yours. Whoever I spoke to on the phone was SO gracious, and they immediately said no problem they could fit us in. I offered to make sure we were done at a certain time so that they could accommodate us. (I didn't drop names or titles or anything, I was just kind and they were so amazingly helpful and sympathetic to my situation.) When I called my friends and told them we were all set and I had a table for us they were shocked and delighted! The service was incredible, the food delectable, the deserts sinful......even though we didn't have the room for them, but I was absolutely impressed by the quality of service, and the kindness that they showed to all of their guests. Our food took a bit to come out and I was worried about taking up one of their tables as I had promised to be done at a certain time, however the server told us that there was a cancellation and that we needn't rush in the least. Bravo to the owners and staff of this true gem in the middle of nowhere. I was beyond impressed with the whole experience, and shocked that this level of casual, comfortable, fine dining was here in Mt. City. And thank you to our server, and the owners for a job well done. I will most definitely be coming back more regularly to check in on my father, and most definitely will be making sure to visit you each time! - Bastian Cc: From the office of His Grace, Count Bastian DiCaprio, of SeaLand.

Very, very good food! Impeccable service! Wonderful deserts! Wish we lived closer, we were on vacation from Calif.

Great food, and very friendly awesome service the food is always absolutely perfect desert bar was incredible. Never had a bad meal there.

The best thing about exploring is finding a new restaurant to visit. Mountain City is a mini Boone. It's neat and clean and sort of quiet. However, it doesn't suffer from a lack of good places to eat. Today, we went past Suba's so...in we went. It's a delightfully neat, clean and cute little restaurant which has been in business for 23 years. The owners have got it absolutely right, to the extent that you could plonk this little bistro in any city in the country and it would be a hit. The decor is pleasant, the tables are large and the chairs are comfortable. The staff is brilliant! Everyone was happy, friendly, busy and charming. The waiters are dressed properly...not a t-shirt or ripped pair of jeans in sight. Our waitress Kayla was an absolute delight. To the food. I ordered an Asian Chicken Finger Salad. It was a plate full of the best food I have had in a long while. My wife ordered crawfish cakes and pronounced them 'fabulous' along with a side of mashed spuds and gravy, and asparagus. The deserts, all made on the premises by the Charleston trained pastry cook, looked unbelievable. But we were full. We will definitely be back! read more

Food was very good , the special's are gone fast . Wait staff are professional, attentive and genuinely friendly. The ambiance is typical "country" with fireplace and local amenities. The only suggestion is they need to go to online reservations. When staff is busy (always) the phone may not be answered for a minUte or two. There are lunch "seatings" (11am, noontime and 1pm). Lunchtime the first and second seatings are hurried. Worth an initial visit and you will revisit. read more

1st time visiting and I will definitely be back. Huge selection on the menu. The Chicken Ranchero was excellent. Plenty of veggies for sides and several healthy options. I did not leave room for dessert on this visit but their dessert menu had plenty of tempting choices. read more

Suba's - Dessert menu. - Seafood Near Me - Mountain City, Tennessee

Suba's is probably the best restaurant in Mountain City today. Their menu is huge and almost overwhelming in its variety. There's something offered for everyone's taste. I got a craisin salad - the lettuce was very fresh with plenty of feta, pecans, and craisins, and portion was average. My friend got salmon quesadilla which was somewhat small in size but was prepared well and included a dill sauce. In observing the diners around us, everyone was enjoying their food. But be warned - save room for dessert. The portion sizes on most of them are very generous and some can easily serve 2-4 people (I'm talking about the coconut eclair!). Desserts are made in house by one of the owners and they are scrumptious. The staff was very friendly and helpful even during the lunch rush. Note that they are not open every day, and they close mid-afternoon between lunch and dinner. If you're in the Mountain City area, make time to go to Suba's. Reservations are recommended, especially during the busier seasons. read more

Their menu had uncommon items and what I had was all great. New Orleans inspired Blackened Catfish, Spinach & cheese casserole. The service here was also great. I didn't know this earlier but reservations are apparently required. That said, they were able to work us in because we arrived just after they opened for the day. read more

The food is amazing. we got the Reuben and the blackened ceasar burger, both of which were delicious, but the ceasar burger was especially amazing. the desserts are unreal (I believe the owner is known for baking). The owner is very sweet and talks to everyone. 10/10 would recommend! read more

What a sleeper. This place was awesome. I had chicken parmigiana and it was the best I've ever had. My wife and I both a had soup before dinner and it was over the top good and the perfect amount. read more

First and foremost, reservations are a must. Our table of four was on a chicken kick evidently. From Saltimboca to Piccata, to Veg stir fry with chicken and Cordon Bleu. All were amazing! Fresh, well prepared, delicious sauces and sides. The service was timely and courteous. The deserts were to die for. Our table tried the Makers Mark bread pudding which was warmed to the correct temperature and the chocolate eclair that had the best filling and of course topping. It will be awhile before we make our way back to Mountain City from the 4 corners of Colorado but rest assured, when we do we will make it a point to eat at Suba's read more

Great menu, wonderful staff, service was awesome. Would definitely recommend making reservations.

I love this place! Service is great! Staff are great! Desserts are amazing!! Owner is precious! But I just wish that the choices for people that don't eat meat were more appealing. My husband's food was great and he eats meat. Maybe I'll just eat dessert next time. read more

If you find yourself in Mountain City TN then you should check this place out if for no reason other than the drool at the dessert cooler. Suba's was recommended by a guy who cut my hair in Boone. He said the prices were a little high as did a local shop owner, but I found them very reasonable. I guess it's what you are used to paying. Precious got the sourdough grilled burger which was flat out good. Next time I'm there I guarantee one of us will order it. BE SURE TO MAKE A RESERVATION EVEN FOR LUNCH! read more

Food and service was great. Would go back again. Lunch menu had a lot to pick from. Small restaurant but does take reservations

I am ready for ANOTHER birthday!! Just turned 83 and my wife took me to lunch at Suba's on Sunday!!! Our first time visiting this lovely place. It was... WONDERFUL!! Very classy place for our little Mountain City, Tennessee. I have lived and traveled across the glob and eaten in some find restaurants all across the globe... Europe, Far East, Middle East and across the United States. This place was as nice as any I have visited. Huge menu, great selection of dishes, relaxed atmosphere, wonderful chef/owners... everything you could ask for. We love it!!! A most memorable birthday meal for me and we will be back WAYYYY before my next birthday!! read more

Suba's has an extremely friendly staff. The restaurant is owned by a couple. The wife runs the front of the house and makes homemade desserts as well. The desserts are definitely a must, even if you have to take it with you. She is very knowledgeable and the most friendly and sincere person you will ever meet. The husband takes care of the cooking and is a remarkable chef. You rarely see him, but he takes his food seriously. Suba's is a hidden gem if you are not from the area. Definitely 5 stars! read more

Everyone wants to go to a place like Cheers, "where everybody knows your name". Suba's is that place for us. Every time we walk in, the owner greets us with a smile and a hug, and we settle in for what we know will be an amazing experience. The dining area is small and intimate, and is conducive to relaxation and conversation. The wait staff know us by name, and remember our favorite dishes (my favorites are Scallops Piccata and Blackened Tuna). The salad dressings, desserts, and croutons are all made in-house, and you can taste the difference. If nothing else, come here for dessert - you won't regret it! Dining here takes slightly longer than average, as the kitchen works on one table's food at a time. Suba's is fantastic; anyone who says otherwise is probably looking for a quick in-and-out dining experience. If you value service, ambience, flavor, and experience, you'll appreciate Suba's. read more
