Lakeside Tavern Reviews

Super fancy interior and exterior. I had the fish and chips and the fish just fell apart upon touching it. Would recommend as a date spot for anyone looking to go out for a date night.

Beautiful building, great view, Jake was our server, he was awesome, great personality, asked about our holidays, was genuinely interested in answers, not just making small talk, we will be back even though it's an hour and a half from our house

We all really enjoyed our food. I had the salmon, and it was delicious. Pretty view of the lake. Friendly and attentive staff.

The steaks were overcooked and tough and so was the hamburger. The chicken tenders were good.

Cold food but it was completely taken care of... it's such a beautiful place.. been here a bunch and only had cold food tonight... but they where super busy...

Great Place! Sitting right on the Lake. Awesome staff. Sam was the BEST. He was very attentive and helped us celebrate two birthdays on our visit. The food was amazing, steaks cooked perfectly. Nice hidden gem in Knoxville. We will return.

This is one of my favorite destinations in Knoxville. The food is always great in the atmosphere is delightful. We sat on the patio and enjoyed a great view of the river and marina. I had the black and blue salad, which was very satisfying. We had the onion ring and tuna appetizers as well. The onion ring are really great and you should try them if you go. This reastaurant has a diverse menue with something for everyone.

Huge variety of breakfast and lunch items. Fresh and clean.

It is one of my favorite restaurant in Farragut-Knoxville, TN. Sunday brunch buffet is everything that you can think off. Delicious smoked salmon with bagel, bacon, egg, chicken, and much more. My kids really like meatball, pasta and pizza plus deserts. There s a chocolate fountain with strawberries, marshmallows and other fruits. My husband really likes the blackberry cobbler. He said it is one of the best! The place itself is beautiful, just right beside the concord lake. Sometimes while you re enjoying your meal and time with family, you can see the train passing by the old part of concord. what a beautiful scenery to see. The staffs are incredibly amazing. They have the best customer service ever.

Gorgeous waterside view (especially if you sit outside on a cozy evening) with great flavors throughout. The bread & butter, appetizers, entree & side, and dessert were all delectable.
Our server, Chase (I believe), was very accommodating of our large group. Thank you.

Great Sunday brunch. Many options.Good presentation

Pork tenderloin with the apricot glaze was delicious. Actually the entire plate was fantastic. Glad to have adventured out to them for a first time. The view outside was definitely worth it.

Always great service and food very consistent on both. Our family likes coming here for the open air feeling of the dining room area. The key lime pie is the best anywhere.

I highly recommend Lakeside Tavern for any occasion. The beautiful dining areas offer comfortable seating, and the service has always been exceptional. You never feel rushed. I have tried many of their menu items and they are all delicious and perfectly prepared.

Loved the food! Everything was excellent, from the view, food and service! Will definitely be back again!

Decent food. Not the cheapest, but it doesn't break the bank, either.

We never could imagine that there could be such a hidden gem in Knoxville. It was a pleasant surprise to reach there and find such a fine restaurant with breath taking views overlooking the lake and beyond the lake were rail lines which occasionally had a train zooming past in background. We were a big group and hence couldn't sit outside which is such a miss as it seemed to be a privilege. However sitting inside too wasn't too bad as all that separated the patio from the indoors was a glass partition.

I've only eaten here once and it was the lunch buffet. The food was cold but I've heard great things about this place. Maybe it was just a fluke

Best club sandwich in Knoxville!
Excellent customer service!!

Very nice location, decent food, just a bit noisy but the outside deck has a great view.

Gorgeous view, fantastic building, A+ food, ridiculous value. I thought it was going to be 40 dollars a glass of water by how amazing it was but no! The food is fantastically priced! The same as Chili's or such but tasting indescribably better! Cannot recommend enough

Came for lunch during the week. Beautiful view from the dining room. Service and good were delicious.

Hawaiian Sirloin was good and the fried asparagus interesting, but the rest was pretty ho-hum. Service was pleasant.

Beautiful view ! Cozy fire and excellent service !! Food was good too !

Love the service... Food is great.... View is to dye for,great place to watch the sun set.....

Always a good experience. Good food, comfortable atmosphere, great view.

Lakeside is always consistent and has a great patio view. The bread is amazing and the Moscow mule slushies are stout. Their beer selection has came a long way in the past year as well.

Excellent restaurant with a fantastic water view. The food is great and the service is usually top-notch. On Sunday, they have a brunch with a wide variety of food. From a waffle station to carved meats. They also have options for kids that may not like a lot of the other choices. If you try to eat your money's worth at the brunch, you'll definitely be full the rest of the day.

Best in Knoxville Area - wonderful for all. My first stop when in town. You have to do Sunday Brunch - amazing.

Wonderful experience. Great food, and the service was prompt and polite.

Very nice staff and beautiful view of the lake from the restaurant

Amazing food beautiful restaurant and area kind staff

Outstanding, good service, great food, great ambiance, beautiful location, fair prices

A wonderful meal for our table of 10. But we waited an hour to be seated after calling to let them know.
They we're busy at that point
Waitresses we're very good.

We had the Sunday brunch buffet here a month ago and enjoyed the occasion very much. Service was excellent and the variety of food was very good. Trays of food were replaced frequently. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas.

Excellent service, food was delicious as always. Just a great place for a higher end meal.

Pros: Nice atmosphere and good service.

Cons: 4 of 6 people in our party ordered steaks. 4 of 4 steaks were overcooked.

Verdict: Not impressed by first and likely last visit.

This staple restaurant of Concorde Park was pretty nifty and very tasty minus a tad bit of nasty service.

The menu is pretty diverse without being too extensive and the prices are decent and expected for the type of restaurant. You can really have a great experience on the exterior of the building as there are some beautiful overlooks combined with wooden rocking chairs for a good time with people.

There is even a rocking chair waiting area in front of the building but definitely do not miss the outside patio and chilling area in the back.

The issue we had was there was a post wedding reception/dinner here and the manager wanted us to move a lot of gifts that were to be given with the reason being that people were needing to be seated there, however no one was seated there for another 45 minutes. Just a very big nuisance but could've been avoided for no apparent reason.

It was such a beautiful Hispanic traditional wedding as well they did not have to be interrupted. Other than that there's plenty of space and can easily get crowded on the weekends. It is definitely easy to miss if you are traveling on North Shore also. Look for the baseball fields and doggie park and you won't miss it.

We originally went there for the brunch buffet, but the menu has changed due to covid. The staff wore masks, and they gave everyone enough space between tables. Even though things were a little different, we really enjoyed our meals. My wife had a cheese pizza, and I had the trout. We will definitely be back because of the covid safety and great food!

Lakeside Tavern has a great feeling surrounding the place. Each time may wife and I go there, it's a special evening. Not to say we go there only on special occasions but the night becomes special because we got to go to the Lakeside Tavern. The wait staff is attentive and helpful. The food is reasonably priced while going above and beyond food of similar price. It is one of our favorite restaurants and we've never been disappointed.

My husband and I always really enjoy eating at Lakeside Tavern.We especially enjoy the Sunday Brunch. It is so, so delicious. Thank you for a great 20th anniversary brunch!

This place is amazing if you live waiting 1hr and 40 mins to get in the door. It wasn t even packed it was just poor management. I came here wanting to be placed outside to looks the the sunset out by the time I was placed in my seat it was dark. Extremely disappointed in the place and I expected better. Pls save your time and money because it s expensive to eat here.

Great food. Great service. Enjoyed rockers on front porch. Will return soon.

Usually I don't like leaving reviews but this one warranted it. My wife's ID expired a day prior to today. Our fault? For sure. Most restaurants you go to the waitress lets it go. I mean this is America, not Nazi Germany. Not this place. This place is obviously not "Murican. Not only did she ask us to leave but the manager was very rude about it. Have fun going to a restaurant that only cares about the money they make and not about repeat customers. I get it. Their main customer is the typical rich spoiled person who has never had to worry about anything in their life. To you I salute you with the middle finger. I'll go enjoy FREEDOM somewhere that loves AMERICA.

Beautiful place to eat and great price on the food and serving side of dishes. The waitress was very nice and did a excellent job with taking the orders and offering menu ideas. She was was great and wished I had her name to tell you which one she was. Beautiful view of the water and sunset for where we sat.

I've been going here since it opened, and have had exactly one bad meal.

They know how to make a mom feel special on Mother's Day!

Food is always very good, as is the service. Fish and chips is a favorite.

Excellent wine selections, service was great and the food choices were very nice. Great job!

Food was excellent and so was the service in the bar!

Great menu. The Sunday Brunch is excellent and the ambiance is wonderful w lake views.

Amazing food, drinks and service. View was amazing. Our server Chris R was on top of everything. Never had to ask for anything and he was so friendly. Made the experience even better. Thank you Chris!

Lovely place and the steaks are great! Beautiful view by the lake to enjoy a nice glass of wine.

Has a very good selection to choose from. Staff extremely friendly. Large selection of wine and beer. Jamaican Jerk Chicken was really good.

The food was good. A pricey lunch though. One of the girls switched from sweet tea to diet coke because she didn't like the tea and was charged for both drinks. She ended up paying over $6 for yes and coke. That's not cool. We all had dessert also and it was delicious, again pricey. The atmosphere is great. The service was good. The "lunch" prices and having to pay for switching drinks is why I only have them a three star review. Sorry I forgot to take a before picture of my meal and dessert. The key lime pie is awesome!!
