Hot food, cold drinks, and nonstop good times—that’s what The Mudpuppy is all about! Nestled on the shores of Tellico Lake inside Cherokee Outdoor Resort, we’re serving up dockside dining done right. Whether you’re cruising in by boat, rolling up with friends, or just chasing that perfect lakeside meal, we’ve got bold flavors, a laid-back vibe, and a menu built for serious cravings.
From shareable apps that disappear fast to crispy seafood, mouthwatering burgers, fresh salads, sizzling steaks, and ooey-gooey pizza, every bite is a reason to stay a little longer. And trust us—you’ll want to! Live music, games, food specials, and epic lakefront events keep the fun going long after the plates are cleared. Check back often for the latest happenings, because we love a good party!
We’re open seasonally from April to November, weather permitting, bringing the Vonore community together one bite, sip, and belly laugh at a time. Whether you're here for a sunny lunch, a sunset dinner, or a late-night hang, The Mudpuppy is your go-to spot for great food, great company, and unforgettable memories.
So come as you are, pull up a chair—or a boat—and let’s make some waves, one delicious bite at a time!
