Birders have a warm and delicious future ahead
while afield at Boone Lake. It's a destination.
Boonies log at Davis Marina.jpgA delightful restaurant
has opened at the mouth
of Beaver Creek and its
confluence with the South
Fork Holston River embayment
of Boone Lake in eastern
Sullivan County, TN.
We've always called this birding location Davis Dock or
Davis Marina. It is just down Beaver Creek from TN Route
394 and the Avoca Volunteer Fire Department. Turn right
at the BTES power station and Buffalo Ruritan Club.
In mid-March, Michele Sparks post to Bristol-Birds that
Johnny and Amy Morris are the new owners of the restaurant
and Johnny went all the way to Duck, NC to purchase the
brick oven to make his Pizza. They are serving Pizza, Subs,
Salads, Burgers, Calzones, Chicken Tender baskets,
Grilled Chicken breast, Chicken wings and all kinds of goodies
from the fryer. The menu is long and interesting.
Breakfast is served all day, 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., with Sunday
hours from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The breakfast menu is
extensive with everything you want. Closed on Monday.
One of their chefs has just moved over from Littly Italy's on
U.S. 421 and the downtown Bristol 6th street restaurant.
Some of the wait staff is from Blue Circle. Pizzas are served
after 11 a.m.

Johnny and Amy are
building a new home
3 minutes away from
the marina.
Boonies Restaurant had an excellent fireworks show
and a very large crowd for July 4. They may have live
music in the future.
Boonies Restaurant and Pizzeria at Davis Marina is
a place well recommended.
They are birder friendly folks and talk about the
Bald Eagles and waterfowl they have seen from the
long and wide porch. This is the kind of place you
can carry your scope upon the porch in inclement
weather and catch a bite to eat or drink while taking
in the good birding which is usually there
A once-up-on-a-time good bird seen from their
now-paved parking lot was a Brown Pelican in 2009.
You can go figure about the other good birds.
Nancy and I had lunch there today.
