Have you all ever tried Paw Paws Catfish Kitchen on Wears Valley Road? Delicious!!!!!🤤 Oysters are great!!! Very friendly people!!!

[@rhudonnagallock1453]

Ty .. we used to go to Cowboys to eat great fish. Then we took wedding pictures for our best friends at Douglas Damn in October. Oh boy these were great memories you took me on today.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

That’s great! It’s such a beautiful place for a wedding!

Hi Will and Dawn. So glad to see this video. We really liked the lake. Maybe this spring or summer we should rent a pontoon boat and do some bass fishing videos. Or just a fun day on the lake. The restaurant looked really good also. I enjoy a good Rubin sandwich and that one looks great. We will have to put that restaurant on our list of places to visit. The history of Dandridge was very interesting so thank you for that experience. You all take care.
