Shared an excellent meal with good friends at sunset on the open air decking look out across the Tennessee River. The food was served promptly and the quality was very good. Serving staff are attentive but not pushy. Can highly recommend this place.

A beautiful, winding drive brought us to the entrance. Huge parking lot, but we had no problem getting in. The view over the water is calming, and as the sun dimmed and the deck lights brightened, we were transported to another place. Service was quick and friendly, the gumbo was fine, bit thin. I overheard the server telling another table that a fresh pot was almost ready-I got the bottom. The fried green tomatoes were amazing, and rosemary shrimps are genius-going to remember that. All in all, a relaxing evening under the stars, with good conversation

Went here for the first time last night! Staff are super nice. I really liked the grouper fingers as an appetizer. Price for food is very reasonable and portions are plenty! The live music was great friends of ours and they did a great job! We really enjoyed our evening! We will for sure be back.

Fantastic time at our Christmas party. Service was great and the filet was even better. Love their strawberry cake, which I got to go!

The Docks is amazing! Linda and her son were so kind, and the food was absolutely incredible. We had the shrimp and grits, steak, chicken, grouper fingers, and cheese fritters along with salads and bread/butter. On top of that, the views were breathtaking—perfect for a relaxing meal. I can't wait to come back! Highly recommend!

Delicious food, really tasty, home made feeling. Chill, lake people atmosphere. Families and great easy music shows. If too hot, take a hoodie to eat inside because the AC is way to cold. Waiters are the best in these days. Desserts are a 10

The food was delicious! We both had the Mahi, Jerk chicken wings appetizer was also so delicious!! Roasted veggies and grits are a must have! Will definitely be coming back! Band outside was a nice touch when we walked on the dock to see the sunset.
