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

Suba's - Chicken Fried Steak - Seafood Near Me - Mountain City, Tennessee

Probably the best place to eat in Mountain City since there are so few places to choose from. Nice atmosphere and excellent service, food is fresh and delicious and great desserts. Only reason I didn't give a 5 star rating is because it's not open every day and it's hours of operation is limited. read more

Me-bacon cheeseburger. Wife-blackened blue cheeseburger. Both w/ fries. Perfect in every way! Caramel brownie cheesecake, OMG! Hope I live long enough to try the whole menu! Dessert case a joy to behold. One of those rare places where everything that comes by the table, you're thinking, "Hm I wish I'd ordered that!" 3 cheers to owners & staff. read more

Suba's - Dessert case at Suba's - Seafood Near Me - Mountain City, Tennessee

The absolute best food ever. Desserts are amazing but I always have to take it home for later. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try. Make reservations! read more

Excellent high quality food selection! Service is professional, knowledgeable and accommodating. Prices are well within reason for the food quality! Highly recommended for those visiting Mountain City area. Reservations are encouraged. read more

Super disappointed in this establishment. A friend gave my boyfriend a gift certificate. We called to make reservations only to be told our certificate is no longer valid, as it was past the 12 month mark. Sorry to tell you Subas but tennessee law says you have to accept it for 5 years. "Tennessee has a law that allows gift card issuers to decline a card once the card is considered abandoned property. We have determined that specific provision of Tennessee law is inconsistent with federal law and that gift cards covered by the federal law must be honored for at least five years." Even after trying to reason with the person on the other end of the phone, we were turned away. So they just made 50.00 for doing nothing. Way to go Subas you get the jerk of the year award. Here is the link to look up the law your self http://www.consumerfinance.gov/blog/gift-cards-clarifying-the-laws-in-maine-and-tennessee/ read more

Just ate here upon reading the reviews. I would not return. The food was just okay. I had the shrimp scallops and trout cake. I'm a shrimp lover and theirs had very little flavor. We had a party of ten and the waitress was not attentive. She reached over three people to hand out a dish and didn't clean up the table after soup and salad. The bread and butter took forever to come out. I guess they didn't want to have to offer seconds. There were too many issues for a good review but the most important was the lack a a great meal especially when the prices are not cheap. We never have an issue with high pricing if the meal is worth it. We are just looking for a delicious meal. Oh oh also the waitress called out to us while we're we still eating to ask if we wanted dessert. The pricing was too steep for just an ok meal. read more

My wife and stopped here for lunch today. Admittedly it was 1:40 pm and they close at 2 pm. However they sat a group of 6 six that came behind us and the hostess rudely refused to seat us saying they were not seating anyone else today. If you decide to try this restaurant - don't be late. read more

Some of the best food and deserts I've ever had. I would put it up against a Ruth's Chris or Fleming's any day

This restaurant is a special treat for dinner or lunch. Excellent food, terrific hostess and staff. Wide variety of tasty dishes at reasonable prices. And then there are the desserts. Make sure you save room or take one home. read more

All I can say is wow!! The food was horrible. way to salty way over priced. I was so disappointed this year as apposed to 2 years ago when the food was the best ever! I will never go back. The help is over the top with trying to much to be nice. Ugh. Don't go. Save your money!! read more

Really disappointing. Almost everything tasted like it had been frozen, was soggy, and was very poorly seasoned. Only reason this has two stars instead of one is because of the friendly wait staff. Don't let the high prices let you believe the food will be fresh, let alone good. read more

Stopped in on our way back home to PA. This was one of the best restaurants I've been to in a long while. Perhaps even before Covid even happened. The staff was so friendly and helpful. They were very smart about keeping everyone safe and separated. The food was out of this world. Started with the portabella fries, then the sesame tuna (AMAZING!!!! Must get!!!) and finally, the cookie dough chess pie. I never had chess pie before and it is a game changer!! I couldn't be happier with our dining experience!!! read more

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yum. Yum. Yum. The restaurant is small so plan ahead and call to be sure you can be seated. The portions are perfect and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! Appetizer: Shrimp Scampi - 4 large, deveined shrimp, on 4 toast points with garlic butter and diced tomatoes. Very tasty! Salads with homemade ranch. Entrees: Filet with Portobellos - the Parmesan cream sauce was perfectly balanced and not overpowering. The steak was beautifully tender and the mushrooms were an excellent addition. Fettuccini Alfredo for the side and the plate was complete! My husband had the simple filet with a perfectly cooked sweet potato. His steak was exactly what a steak should be: tender, tasty and just a bit of char to give it a good bite. Our dessert had to come home in a box but you'd be silly not to do the same. Well done Suba's. We hope to return again soon!! read more

Second visit to Suba's and it did NOT disappoint. Party of 6 and everyone enjoyed their meals and especially the desserts. Wide variety menu and haven't heard of anyone in two times I've been you got something they didn't enjoy. Entrees include one side and soup and are $17-29. The desserts are a must even if you have to take it home to eat. Would recommend if you are visiting anywhere in the mountain city, tn or Boone, NC area. Be sure to check their hours before you go. Enjoy! read more

Stopped in after a long travel from SC. The people were very accomodating even if we dont have a reservatio ( which you need because the place is small). They have the best steak, chicken cordon blu and dessert. read more

Wow! What a great surprise! Traveling with my Company, I've had good & bad eating experiences & this is one of the best! From my greeting when I walked in, to the time I rolled out it fantastic! The food, the decor & the people all made it one of the "Best Kept Secrets" in East Tennessee! read more

My family and I dined here with a party of ten. My husband ordered the trout and enjoyed his meal very much. I ordered the pesto and it was just okay. The rest of our party also felt their meal was just okay. It seems that the menu is just too large and meals aren't being perfected. For instance, the pesto sauce had a very nice flavor but it was too much sauce for the amount of pasta. It was too overpowing and therefore less enjoyable. I wouldn't come back because the prices do not match the quality of dining this establishment offered us. The reviews on here led us to expect much more but when we left only my husband seemed to have enjoyed his meal fully. The place is very clean and the bathrooms are spotless. It's kid friendly. read more

I've been here a handful of times. Everything I've gotten has been amazing. Try the pecan salmon!! Oh and be sure to save room for one of their amazing desserts! read more

The food was very good the few times we ate there. The desserts are very good. The spinach side we ordered was way too salty and had a fishy taste but the rest was good. It's a tad pricey for a small town place but still not too bad. read more

Excellent! Went here for the first time tonight with my wife and had the best meal! The homemade ranch dressing is wonderful over crisp fresh lettuce. My wife ordered scallops and they were great. I ordered the 12 ounce ribeye steak and it too was excellent. For dessert we had an amazing cheesecake brownie! The owner also checked on us and was very friendly. Great job Suba's, we will be back and will recommend you to others. read more

This restaurant was recommended to us by some friends. We went with another couple for dinner today and we all agreed that we would DEFINITELY be returning real soon. The food was absolutely delicious, from the soup to the main course and the exquisite desserts. The ambiance and decor made you feel at home, but the accent on this fabulous experience was the warmth and friendly treatment we received from our server, Miranda who was a real joy to deal with and who was very attentive. We got the chance to meet the owners who made you feel welcomed and who were extremely pleasant. This is truly a one of a kind restaurant! read more

WOW!! One of the best places to eat anywhere in the tri city area. You can't leave without one of there deserts. Well worth the trip!!

This place is worth the drive. Be sure to make a reservation - they fill up. And you must save room for dessert!

Consistently good food- wonderful service and ambiance- truly couldn't ask for a better experience ! Outstanding and we just keep coming back - thank you Morgan for great service and LuAnne for your beauty and grace and always effervescent smile- love coming here!!! read more

Probably the best restaurant in East TN. Everything is wonderful, including the homemade desserts!

Phenomenal food! Deserts gave me the diabetus. They managed to squeeze us at an outside table, and they have awesome service!

We are on vacation and stopped in here to eat at the recommendation of our pastor. I was waiting for the receptionist to seat us(party of 2). Instead, she answered the phone and took a reservation. She looked at me and I said party of 2. She told me she had no place to seat us becaus she just gave the last table to the guy who called!!! I explained that I was there first and she said " well I had no way of knowing if you were here to pick up desert or eat. She could have asked! Was it because I am handicapped in a wheelchair? ? Who knows but I will never come back to this place. We are staying at the Redtail Resort and looking for land here. Very unhappy read more

OK. I see all the good reviews of Suba's. Five stars aplenty. One person rated it the #1 restaurant in East TN. Really? Sorry, maybe the best in Mountain City. The pickings of places to eat good food are slim. (There is good pork barbeque in Mountain City- sans the sauce. ) While there are many items on the Suba's menu the breadth and creativity are limited. The quality of my one meal was just OK. I did not get dessert. Suba's needs moving into the 21st century. Go down to Asheville and get some insight into good food. Or go down to Boone, NC and check out The Hob Nob. read more

Absolutely fantastic food. I have been dining there for years and have never been disappointed by a single thing I purchased there. A definite "must try" if you are in the area. read more

Suba's always has the best tasting food, and the best wait staff. Meats and veggies are always perfectly cooked, and the desserts are the best I have ever tasted anywhere. Suba's continues to impress every single time! read more

Suba's is a great place for good food. We have a cabin in Todd, NC about an hour's drive from the restaurant. We make the trip whenever we're there in the summer. The desserts alone are worth the trip over and back. :~) read more

Food and service are five-star. Quality all-around! This is a local gem with a sweet & efficient staff! Always save room for desert! Make plans and always call ahead for the best experience! Something for everyone here... even the kiddos! read more

Great food and service. Desserts are fantastic. A real treat to dine there. If you are ever in the area, don't miss this place. Hours are a little unusual so call first. read more
