Tellico Junction Cafe

This place is awesome! I have to drive by this place everyday and I think I could actually eat here everyday! The burger is one of the best I have found in this area. The chili dog is also great. It is a great spot to go for that weekly cheat meal but wouldn't recommend it if you are dieting!

An after-church Sunday afternoon favorite, you'll find down home southern cooking here, complete with garden grown vegetables, home made meatloaf and fresh pies. The daily specials list reads like a list of things mom and grandmom made and it all tastes wonderful. They point out that with the exception of their sugar-free pies and cakes, almost everything is locally grown and home made. Add to that the abundant interesting memorabilia and you have a great place to eat Sunday or any other day of the week. Even their bathrooms are interesting! The men's room has a "throne" feel, complete with a suit of armor.

Last I heard there was gospel music singing Monday nights and breakfast available all day Wednesday. If you're looking for good food at a place where locals like to eat (instead of a touristy kind of restaurant), check out the Tellico Junction Cafe. Chances are pretty good you'll be there when a train goes by. Based in the heart of historic Englewood, Tennessee within sight of highway 411 between Madisonville and Etowah, it's a nice place to take a walk down main street after supper.
