Lakeside Tavern Reviews

Love it..we celebrate all my husband's family members b daysthere ..aliloricy but much worth it

Beautiful evening , enjoyed a salad ,and fried Buffalo cauliflower, I have ordered this for years now. Our waiter Sam was very attentive and sweet.

Great atmosphere, great prices, good portions. Nice to have someplace to eat where there is more than watching cars go by or a sports channel.

The atmosphere is great... The quality of the food was deplorable. For the price I would expect they would have a chef who knew what they were doing. Not the case. The crab cakes were mostly bread filler and the chicken dry as a bone. They need a new chef or better management. If you go there just do drinks and appetizers.. Go somewhere else for dinner.

This place was nice. We decided to go here it was my daughter graduation. We had a family of ten. The server was very attendant to us.

Great food and prices. Wonderful view. Warm fireplace seats.

I've been here multiple times and the result is always great! I haven't found a meal that I don't like.

Food, service and location were phenomenal! The martini with champagne in it was sooo yummy (can't remember the name). The spicy shrimp appetizer was great, our entrees were tasty and dessert was so good. Definitely be back soon.

Food was delicious... atmosphere and view beautiful...and Carson's service was excellent. Will be back!

Great environment and selections of food. Food was great except steak was medium rare not medium well as ordered, and grilled chicken overcooked and dried out. Service was perfect, we'll go back!

Nice place good food great views but sometimes LONG wait times

Our food was great, the staff were friendly, and our view was amazing. Very good and peaceful experience.

What a surprise! I expected much higher prices! But no! Yummy food, decent prices, amazing view!

I had fish and chips. My husband had Oyster PoBoy. Both yummy.

Ate here for my birthday last night to wake up to my boyfriends card charged 60 dollars. He was on his own ticket. His meal was 20 dollars and was drinking water. Explain to me how you can mess someone s ticket up that extremely? On top of being way over charged our waiter kept going MIA. Our stay at the restaurant easily reached 2.5 hours. They were not even that busy. Our food was mediocre. Not worth the money spent. Would not recommend.

After a hard day on the lake, and the margaritaville burger just won't cut it, this is the place for a meal you deserve.

Love everything about this place! Couldn t ask for better food, view or staff!

Great place to eat! The view is great and the atmosphere is cozy!

great food awesome atmosphere fresh caught fish on the menu with amazing views of the lakeside

Beautiful view, amazing food, friendly staff. I cant wait to go bacl!

Really enjoyed this restaurant. The menu had a good and various types of food. The service was helpful and prompt. Whether inside or outside very relaxing atmosphere. I plan on returning to this place when ever in the area. The name is misleading. Not a typical tavern. I think of mainly drinks when I see "tavern" in the name.. The drinks are probably good, but I think their food is the highlight.

One of my all time favorites in Knoxville/Farragut!! I always want to go make a stop when I'm back in town. The bread is absolutely amazing!! And all the food is so delicious,can't go wrong!

Upscale casual lakeside dining with lots of options for indoor and outdoor seating. My favorite dish here is the Rosemary Pork Tenderloin with Swiss Cheese sauce. The sweet potato casserole with brown sugar crumble is fantastic and the pork is always perfectly cooked. Lakeside does a great steal as well. It's a little pricey, but the atmosphere and service absolutely justify the price. Outdoor dining goes just up to the coldest of cold with heaters on the patio. Great for larger groups, but definitely call ahead, especially on weekends.

Great food and service. Very enjoyable. Will return.

Got seated right away. Friendly service and fast delivery of food!

Usually this is an amazing place with great service. Food was great. Service could have been better, the waiter was pretty much no where to be seen. No refills, never asked how the food was. Other waiters were much better and caring.

Food is always delicious. Atmosphere and service is great.

Brunch is always the best. You have a huge selection of food to choose from. The staff is so friendly and are always checking on your drinks. The view is one of the best in thr city especially if you come during dinner.

Great food just very unfriendly. Don't seem to care if they have your business at all . A great restaurant is one that has great food and great atmosphere with friendly staff.

Front staff was terrible. ..vould not handle alot of people. Had to leave..

If you havent been to this gem, make a trip soon. The lake setting is very nice & the food delicious. Prices were very affordable.

Love the setting of this place very nice starters. Made a meal of them.

Wonderful place to have lunch or dinner. I had the strawberry chicken salad and my husband had the sirloin with broccoli and mashed potatoes. Both were delicious. The view on the water was spectacular.

I've been dining at here for many years for special occasions (mother's day, rehearsal dinners,etc) to everyday dining. It never disappoints on food or service, not to mention the beautiful setting.

Excellent views over the lake and great food. We'll be going back again.

Very relaxing. Great ambiance. Services was excellent. Quick and attentive without being bothersome. Our groups meal met everyone's expectation. Good portions. Red blend wine I had was very tasty. We will definitely go back again.

Great Dirty Martini. Best lettuce wedge salad ever! With 6 other women. Everything we ordered was perfect.

Beautiful view and amazing food! Get the key lime pie.

The food was fine it is more about being near the lake.

Great staff, management, and service. Then there's the food and the view! One of our favorites.

Wonderful food and great service. Very nice setting with a beautiful view.

Excellent food as always and you can't beat the view.

Food was delicious and the service was great. I will be going back.

Disappointing to say the least... All of the reviews were good but the service was alright. (One hour before closing). The steak was medium instead of medium rare. I m convinced the filet mignon we ordered was not a filet. Was tough and looked like a center cut sirloin. Cocktails were good but sloppily put together. The views are pretty but that must be the only reason for the good reviews. Price reflected a 4 star restaurant. Quality reflected an ocharleys. I would have rather had ocharleys for $45 rather than this for $140.

One of my favorites in Knoxville . Great setting on the river. Excellent brunch on Sunday . Excellent service, can't go wrong with Lakeside Tavern.

Wow. Total attention to our needs. The foods were OUTSTANDING.

One of the best brunches in Knoxville! Great atmosphere and view

I love that this is on the water! The food is pretty good too.

Great service, fabulous food!!! Outstanding outdoor view!! So glad we came here to have dinner! Jack was an excellent waiter, friendly and attentive to detail!!!
From K.C.

The food was fantastic, the staff was great, and the ambiance was awesome. We got probably the best table in the place. We were in the back corner. They pulled back all the windows so it was like we were outside, but didn't get rained on. It was an amazing view.

The view of the lake is always lovely and peaceful. The bread is awesome. The food is well-prepared and tasty.

Fantastic food, service and view. What more could you ask for? Decent drink selection too! Our server was Madison and she was awesome.

Every time I go service is consistent, food is great and love the free bread!

Lakeside Tavern has ZERO vegetarian or vegan options. Opted for the $15 pizza omitting the cheese. It was horrible. How hard is it to keep some frozen edamame, vegan cheese and a black bean burger? This restaurant is far behind the times.

Good food nice atmosphere and great view of the Tennessee River.

Beautiful sun room that the windows open and very nice patio out back.
