8 Best American Restaurants near Ten Mile

“We were down for the weekend camping and decided to google the closest place to eat near us and this place popped up. It seems to be the go to place around the town to eat and come get ice cream. The food was amazing and aren’t overly priced. The ice cream parlor was our favorite part.“

“Another hole in the wall find! Driftwood Diner has such an at home feeling, family-friendly atmosphere and great variety of food.Driftwood Diner serves fresh patted burgers, not frozen patties, which is a must for the husband. This was my first ever hot chicken salad panini and it was delicious. Another first, the Peanut Butter Burger, was cut and shared amongst our family just to see what the hype was all about. Unbelievable! Whoever decided to put this on the menu was a genius. We all four loved this burger combination: beef patty, peanut butter, cinnamon and sugar.Dessert options are nearly endless, too. But we opted for the brownie sundae and it was delicious!Can't wait to come back for dinner.“

“Took me 2 1/2 yrs after moving here, and i can't believe how much I was missing out. Family of 4 full dinners under $70, and I have to say they have some of the best catfish I've ever had. Hush puppies, fried okra, shrimp, cheese steak all amazing, and such a plate full of catfish I didn't even have enough room for dessert. We will definitely be making this a regular place. Since it's only 3 miles up the road. Next time definitely trying the fried apple pie.“

“I had the stuffed tilapia with a crab cake and corn shrimp chowder on top along with mashed potatoes and broccoli. All of it was hot and fantastic! Wife had a turkey or chicken panini and really liked it too. Service and atmosphere was also great. Sat by the window overlooking the marina. Will definitely go back when in the area again. I did not expect such good food at a marina restaurant in the middle of nowhere. So much better (and more expensive) than Mr Twister just down the road.“

“Magnificent is the word that comes to mind! Everything about Melinda’s was perfect. We had such a great time at my sisters girls night out! Great atmosphere wonderful food and an amazing band that let us run the show! Thank you so much for the great service with a warm welcome and a memorable night!“

“My family stayed at Arrowhead Resort for two nights on the recommendation of a friend of a friend. We were atypical guests, as we were in the area for a family wedding rather than Watts Bar Lake activities. We did some research and found Arrowhead to be a better option than motels in the area, for reasons of both convenience and affordability.The two-bedroom apartment was clean, and the beds and the furniture were comfortable. The kitchen was handy, considering that the restaurant on the property is closed for repairs. We shopped at the nearby Piggly Wiggly and prepared our own meals.We needed clean clothes for our departure. Arrowhead provides a complimentary laundry room, so we were able to do our washing the second night.It also helped that the store on the property sells small bottles of laundry detergent, which saved us a drive when we going to be out all day. The store has everything guests need for the full Arrowhead experience, including fishing and grilling supplies.One thing in particular impressed me at check-out. The night before, my younger son lost some quarters in the Mountain Dew vending machine. A man in a pickup truck (the owner/manager?) told me to ask the staff for a refund in the morning. I did not need to ask -- the lady at the desk was already aware and provided the refund right away.Between the genial southern hospitality and the quality of the apartment, we were sorry we had to leave. If we visit the area again, we will be back at Arrowhead.“

“I absolutely love this restaurant! Ove eaten here several times and have never had anything that wasn't delicious! The food is yummy, the staff is friendly and Ms Debbie is one wonderful women! ? If you haven't been, go! I recommend you safe room for dessert. See ya there!“

“Friday and Saturday nights, live entertainment, family owned, and run, great food, good prices, come by car, or by boat, either way you'll have a great time. Everyone makes you feel welcomed and at home. Great place, great owners, great food!“
