Engle's Roadside Restaurant, located at 2403 Temple Hill Rd in Erwin, TN, is a beloved gem for American cuisine. Customers rave about the diner’s inviting atmosphere and friendly staff, which makes it a perfect stop for both locals and travelers alike.

Had the flounder for dinner and was excellent. Nice size and cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and tender inside. To go order and staff was very nice. This place is the best diner in the area and you won't be disappointed.

Engle's Roadside Rest is an amazing little place. Their hamburgers are the best and their catfish dinner is amazing. "Come see for yourself".

Great burger and fries!!! At lunch food seems great, but in the evenings I can't say the same., Shrimp and fries were warm not hot, had to ask for a fork for salads. This was the second time we visited in the evening and same average results.

We ordered the chicken strips dinner, the flounder dinner, and the frozen yogurt. Everything was delicious and the prices were very reasonable. The staff was friendly. The restaurant is open Monday through Friday for lunch and dinner.

It's a traditional roadside diner! Walk up counter to place your order then seat yourself at a table. We both had cheeseburgers so I can't comment on their other offerings of chicken, country steak, fish, shrimp, or BBQ. Our burgers were straight up old school good and juicy burgers. Seasoned fries or salt your own.

We were there shortly after opening, so it was relatively quiet. We had our business discussion, then ordered lunch. He got a club salad and I had a BBQ sandwich. The food was good and reasonably priced. All things considered, it was a very good experience.
