“Excellent Find!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 20, 2012 NEW

We were staying very close to the restaurant and really just went in for lack of other ideas. How glad I am we decided to go there. The atmosphere was fantastic, it looked so much like a campsite, very lush and this beautiful pond. We sat by the pond and watched some catfish swim around. The food was absolutely fantastic....

“Love this place!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 17, 2012 NEW

Stumbled across this place while out in the Opryland area. I love the way the interior is decorated and the catfish pond. There are so many different nooks and crannies and they can accommodate any size party, from big to small. The food is excellent. The corn fritters are one of the greatest things about the food. My family and... More

“Will try another restaurant next trip”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 17, 2012 NEW

The blackened fish sit in grease. The best dishes were the potatoes, which were cooked good and had good seasoning, and the corn fritters. Salad was plain iceburg lettuce with a lot of cheese and some tomatoes. I love sweet tea but this was too sweet for my taste. More

Thank you so much for the nice review. We are located directly across the street from Gaylord Opryland. Many of the people who visit Opryland really enjoy the place but are always looking for a place to eat that would be much less expensive to Opryland itself. We strive to deliver a very good Southern Style meal at about 1/2... More

“Very disappointed”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed January 12, 2012

We ate here on a Friday night. That was probably our first mistake. We had to wait in the entry hall for about 40 minutes, twice what we had been told. We were seated in the bar area, which was very loud, in part due to the TV's showing sports events. Our waitress seemed nice, but was clearly rushing around... More

“Durn good ribs!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 12, 2012

Fresh corn fritters sprinkled with powdered sugar led the way. The full rack of ribs was tasty and loaded baked potato was just right. I especially liked the grilled crispiness on the outside of the ribs. The sauce was very good, but not great; I should have asked for a little more spice. More
