🦐 The Shrimp Dock — Alcoa/Maryville
- Casual counter service
- Kids love the shrimp po'boys
- Takeout available
- Free parking
- Fast and friendly
The Shrimp Dock is a Knoxville-area seafood institution with three locations — the closest to Maryville is right in Alcoa, just south of town. This is a counter-service seafood market where you grab fresh shrimp po'boys, fried shrimp baskets, catfish, and other coastal favorites to eat right there or take home.
Kids love the shrimp po'boys — perfectly crispy, on soft rolls, with hushpuppies and cole slaw on the side. It's casual, fast, and the kind of place where you don't need to worry about normal kid noise. The seating area is small, so plan to eat quickly or take it to go.
They also have locations in Bearden and Farragut if you're heading further into Knoxville.
Tip: Pair this with a picnic at Bicentennial Park near the Maryville Public Library — just a short drive north into downtown Maryville.
