Tellicafe

Was one of those place you go by and it is packed.  So of course we try it.  Bad idea.  First they are out if meat loaf.  Then second choose trout.  So ended up with ground steak that taste burnt from the grill marks.  You know the marks that are made by picking up food that was previously grilled.   Mash potatoes no gravy.   And Mac and cheese.  Still trying to figure out where u buy ORANGE cheese.   I vaguely recall a type of powered cheese my mom got when I was little from food rations.  It was orange.  Stay away unless u like hamburgers cause that is all these little mom and pop places can make.

Well, IF there were a place where fish had to go after they died to right their wrongs in order to make it to the Kingdom of Fishes with the steams made of gold ... THIS Rainbow Trout has made his way there.   He has received the most highest honor and swims with the Angels now.   I have never had a more delicious fish (of any kind) meal in my entire LIFE. It melted in my mouth with the lemon slices. If My Love and I make it back up to the Smoky Mountain area of Tennessee again I will go here.  I will never order Rainbow Trout from anywhere else.   The Tellicafe's Rainbow Trout makes it a shame to come back to Alabama to our pitiful catfish which we pride ourselves in so much in this part of the state.  Perfection!

We were on one of our weekend trips and we came across this restaurant in the town of Tellico Plains, TN..so we opted to stop in..Saturday, July 7th, we stopped for Lunch in Tellico Plains, TN at Tellicafe..it was pretty good food. with Noelle Lori-Elizabeth Teel and Dale Tony Vanoy.

It was a small diner of a restaurant, family owned..it was not crowded with the seating, sort of open and airy..inviting atmosphere and plain but comfortable decorations..nothing WOW..or OMG..but nice..nothing bad about it ...

They had a really good Black Cherry Currant  Iced Tea..that I recommend you getting right off the bat...I would love that stuff everyday..
Tony and I opted to get the Roast Beef Open Faced sandwich with Mashed Potatoes..homemade not instant..with homemade very good very fattening gravy..I could drink this stuff..Noelle opted for the grilled chicken with french fries and her second side she took the green beans for me...and she also decided on some fried apples..which I had to steal a bite of...good good good..
the green beans were slow cooked all day taste with some bacon in the flavoring..I highly recommend them also..
The roast beef was so tender, you didn't even need a knife...and Tony took a side of Mac n Cheese, another highly recommended homemade item. We had NO ROOM FOR DESSERT..but with the rest of the food...it had to be homemade and delicious..and the price was so reasonable...
all for only $23 plus taxes and tip...AMAZING !!!
if in the area,,, Tellico Cafe...here we come !!!!
