WHERE TO EAT NEAR OR AROUND OCOEE

BITES + BREWS
* = Top picks

*Ocoee Dam Deli & Diner

Located a short distance from our Cascade Outdoors headquarters, this is our top Ocoee River restaurant recommendation. Ocoee Dam Deli & Diner offers country cooking and bluegrass entertainment in a wholesome dining atmosphere.

*Marthie Ann’s Hot Chicken And Cold Treats

Start your meal with fried green tomatoes, garlic cheese nuggies, or a caprese salad. Marthie Ann’s offers a variety of entrees and desserts, all made with love. Don’t leave without trying the Pimento Cheese Hot Honey Sandwich, it’s ridiculously good.

*Myrtle’s Cafe

Since its grand opening in early 2022, Myrtle’s encourages you to “put some south in your mouth” with their breakfast, lunch and daily specials. You’ll find a down home country ambiance and delicious entrees like the Brie Grilled Cheese, a combination of bacon, apricot and brie on sourdough bread, wow.

*Tacoee

The Ocoee’s first taco truck! With a simple menu of tacos, ceviche, tamales or nachos, Tacoee makes for a fast and delicious meal. We love their merch and their fresh-squeezed strawberry lemonade.

Big Mike’s BBQ

Smokin’ since 1978 Big Mike’s BBQ is a local favorite. You have to try their famous fall of the bone ribs! We recommend checking their facebook page beforehand, as some menu items sell out quickly. This Ocoee River restaurant also offers catering.

Los Poblanos

Start the meal with complimentary chips and salsa, then try one of the weekly specials, like their hefty Sampler Platter, Chile Colorado or Pechuga Tapatia. You can also choose from a variety of imported and domestic cervezas (beers) at this locally-owned Mexican restaurant in Ocoee, TN.

Ocoee Diner

Serving breakfast all day, the Ocoee Diner offers indoor and outdoor seating. Customers claim the service is fast and the staff will make you feel welcomed. Try the Ocoee Breakfast consisting of two eggs, hash browns, three strips of applewood smoked back, biscuit or toast and a waffle… yum!

Bears Den BBQ

Their family-friendly atmosphere provides more than just barbecue. Enjoy their catfish, loaded pork potato or nachos as well. Warning: the hot sauce is HOT!

Cajun Lady Seafood

Serving fresh seafood and authentic cajun & creole dishes, Cajun Lady Seafood is sure to fill you up. Check out their facebook page for daily specials. The Crispy Brussel Sprouts with bacon and maple mustard sauce are a crowd favorite.
