Shipwreck Cove

Came here for a quick lunch with friends on the lake and had a nice time. The restaurant has a divey, local feel which I liked. The service was very nice and friendly. The food took a little bit to come, but my table didn't mind because we were watching sports on the TVs and looking around at the local decor.The food was decent and a little on the pricey side. I had a cheese quesadilla which came out hot like it was freshly made, my friend got a cove salad which was very large, and my other friend got a burger which was pretty big too.The music played was 2000s and 2010s hits which my group found pretty entertaining.Overall: decent spot to visit when in the area for a great local vibe, decent food, and friendly service. A little on the pricey side but makes sense because of its location on the lake.

We stopped in for some appetizers and drinks, and we were really impressed! The onion rings were perfectly crispy and came with a deliciously unexpected sweet Asian chili sauce. We've never had them served with that sauce before, but it was the perfect complement--sweet, tangy, and a little spicy. A fantastic twist on a classic! We also tried the mozzarella sticks, which were melty and perfectly fried. The best part, though, was the lively atmosphere--we had a great time watching the football game with the friendly locals. Even the cook came out to cheer a few times, adding to the fun vibe. It's the kind of place where you feel right at home, with great food and even better company.

So much funLove the environment Been going here for monthsGreat foodLovely atmosphere

Day on the water led us to Shipwreck on Percy Priest Lake. This marina restaurant is a great stop for a reasonable priced shareable or sandwiches or burgers. We had a great server named Austin, who apologized for the wait. It was busy day and appreciate him letting us know that things were running a little slower. We got the nachos, they were good but the pulled pork was cold and the nachos were Luke warm, overall good but would have liked it to be a little hotter. Definitely wouldn't not come back since they seemed under staffed for the crowd out on a Sunday. It was fun sitting outside and right near the railing which had a huge ray of carp and ducks fighting over scraps from the seated patrons. Also had live music and so nice to have when hanging at the marina.

Bit mediocre and high priced. Not somewhere I'd choose to go to if there were other options.

Nice ambiance because of the lake but that's just it. Service was kind, food was awful!! I couldn't eat my food and i wasn't even hungry anymore so it was such a waste, Thanks.

Locally owned businesses from what i could tell. The food is normal bar ish food that you could get anywhere. It's priced as if you were at a sports game. Over priced but it's what you'd expect. The service was ok. Not the best but definitely not the worst. Its kinda loud but that just all the people talking and it's not a bad place. Good place stop and relax and get out of the boat. Over not a bad experience at all

After spending the majority of the afternoon boating, my friends and our kids decided to grab dinner at Shipwreck Cove, after all we were docked at Elm Hill Marina and it was very convenient. We were seated under a covered patio, but the seating was a bit crammed. I guess because we had kids, we couldn't sit indoors (the bar area) and it was raining, so we couldn't sit out in the open outside.There's a good range of food items on the menu, more so that what you'd expect from a restaurant on the lake. I ordered Fried Pickles for the table and they were decent. Nothing to write home about. Crispy batter, warm, tangy pickles on the inside with a nice helping of ranch.My kids wanted wings (plain) and Mark's Famous Wings come in an 8-count for $10. Kind of steep, but the wings were cooked very well. Crispy outside, juicy on the inside. Because my kids didn't want any sauce on them, I got the traditional buffalo on the side. The wings were very large too, so that's another plus. These were probably the best item that we ordered.I ordered the Fish Tacos, which came in a 3 count. They were served with slaw and some kind of mustard-y sauce. That created an odd flavor and the size of the fillets were somewhat small too. I didn't care for them as much as other places I've been to. I will likely not get the fish tacos again here (if I return).Overall, the dining experience here was just OK. There's plenty of restaurants on Percy Priest. I'm not saying I won't return, but I'll give all the other ones a try before I come back here. There's more to a restaurant than convenience.

Let's first start off by saying the atmosphere of the place is beautiful. Right on the water with an amazing view. Now to get to the real mess up. I was asking our waiter a question about the menu and she snapped on me and said like I already told you this is good and rolls her eyes. Didn't know I wasn't allowed to ask questions. Next the real nasty part. I started to drink out of my cup and I find a disgusting cheesy hard gum like substance on the inside of the cup and she doesn't apologize, she just says that's gross and takes it away. She was snippy the whole time and continued to roll her eyes. Maybe a bad day, but don't have to take it out on us. She then throws are check down so aggressive on the table and didn't even bother to take the sprite off( no big deal but come on). We asked for a manager after she was awful to deal with and would not get us one. I don't un recommend this place but if you get this waiter.. jump in the water and swim far far away. Maybe the other ones are better? She was the blonde waiter fyi! Don't know her name.

Good service, good food, good booze great location. All around awesome. 10/10 recommend
