Amigo’s

Horribly rude employees. Second time I’ve experienced this. WILL NOT be back. Never have I been to a restaurant where employees so disrespectful won’t acknowledge your «thank you.» In this instance it was the a man who also works at the Brainered location and has been nothing but rude when I’ve had him as a server there as well. If it’s not him your server will probably ending up being a bratty teenager or the bar tender who doesn’t know what they’re doing and has no sense of urgency. Aside from the absolutely HORRIBLE several ice the food isn’t even that great. It pales in comparison to all their other locations. Terrible restaurant. Terrible servers. Terrible management. Terrible food. Don’t waste your time.

Food was good and well priced but NOISY! Not from diners but from staff noisily busing tables, sweeping, dragging chairs. And this was a full hour before closing! My husband and I were very disappointed by all this unnecessary noise. It was also noticeable to others dining near us. Not habit forming for us!

We really enjoy eating here. The view is great. The amigo salad is my favorite. Very good Mexican food

I just moved to Ooltewah, Tn 2 weeks ago from Indiana. I have been to this restaurant twice. The food and drinks are very reasonable to be sitting on the water and location is very nice. The food on my 2 visits has been pretty good as well. However, the servers are very slow and they only have one women’s bathroom stall where the door can actually be closed for the entire restaurant. This is pretty ridiculous and an easy fix. I told the hostess who looked at me like so what. I would have asked for a manager to complain about the bathroom but it doesn’t appear that anyone is in charge. I hope things get better and management reads my review because I would really like to keep coming back.

Lots of stink bugs in the restaurant. The food is great but the bugs ruin it for me. I know it’s on the water and this might be difficult to control, but a vacuum cleaner would work wonders on all the uninvited guests.

We eat here every couple of weeks, which included last night. I don’t think we’ve ever not had to wait for a table which I guess is a good sign. It’s usually only about 15 – 20 minutes.
We love the atmosphere of getting to look out over the lake. It looks like they have bands on the deck sometimes as well even though we’ve never seen one.
I usually take advantage of their happy hour draft special, a 32oz domestic for only $ 3.50. They come in a mini pitcher which I think is pretty cool. I think the happy hour is seven days a week and I believe from 5 – 9.
The chips are good but the salsa isn’t my favorite-​more like a spicy tomato sauce-​but I still tear it up. They have another salsa though for a dollar up charge that I love. I ordered the tilapia tacos the first time I ate there and can’t bring myself to order anything else. It’s tilapia in a hard shell taco which is then wrapped in a layer of cheese surrounded by a soft taco shell. The chipotle dipping sauce makes the whole thing so delicious.
My vegetarian wife and kids are always happy as well.
We end each meal with a walk out to the boardwalk/​island behind the restaurant. It’s a nice way to end the meal.

The owner removed my original review, but I thought I’d write it again. The location was nice, but the food and service were horrible. We asked to be seated outside, but we were instead seated inside and air conditioner was not working. We had difficulty getting our first server to allow us to move outside, but fortunately we made it outside and got a new server. The place not packed, but the food took forever to arrive. We had to send back a couple plates that were messed up, and a friend asked to cancel his order, but the owner refused. The owner actually ended up calling the cops, b/​c my friend laid his order on another table and said he wasn’t paying for it since it took over an hour to be brought out. The police came and asked my friend to leave, but after they spoke with our server they quickly apologized to him even though the owner wanted him removed. My friend wasn’t even upset when he spoke to the owner about canceling the order, and to bet it all we had to demand my friends food be removed from the check even though he didn’t touch it, and the owner had the police ask him to leave. The ownership is horrible and I would not recommend this place, especially if you might actually complain if your order is not correct.

Food was good, service was good, but the happy hour specials are deceiving. Don’t waste your money on the 2 for 1 margarita. They claim the rock gut tequila small glass margarita is normally $ 6 but you get it for $ 3 during happy hour. Stop and get a taco but move on down the road for happy hour!
