23 Best American Restaurants in Alcoa

“Great food and wonderful service.“

“Today I looked to see who had the best burger and this showed up. So we decided to try it out. We gotta say they have the best nacho appetizer we ever had. They made it like it should be. Then I had the steak burger and he had the all American burger, great food. I have to add the server Laurie was great. She was friendly and very accommodating. Anything we asked for she got it right away. Took time to talk to us and a great server. We definitely found a new place to go to. Thank you so much. 10+ all the way around. Thank you Laurie we will be back.“

“Great burgers and cheese curds! Can’t beat the creamy ice cream!“

“Excellent customer service!“

“Kickback Jacks was amazing with great/ friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere. It was clean/ there was a ton of parking. The food was good & most of it was well seasoned. I definitely recommend if you're looking for a place with a large menu that has a variety of food & drinks.“

“Ethan from OCharleys in Alcoa Tennessee wa a wonderful waiter. Just don’t know his last name and would like to know it. Does anyone know“

“We had friends in from out of town and needed a large area for all the people we had. They gave us the banquet room which was perfect. Our server Valerie was absolutely fantastic. She handled everything beyond our expectations. The buffet was kept well stocked and the food was excellent. After our meal the manager on duty, I didn't get his name, came by to thank us for our business. It was a very professional and friendly gesture that many restaurants would not have done. Thank you to the entire crew on shift Friday 5/23/25 at 4 to 530 pm. Your efforts were noticed and appreciated. We will be back as small groups and large groups.“

“My wife and I went to restaurant to get a salad on the 29th of December. The Kaneisha was taking our order. I ordered the salad bar and an Arnold Palmer. My ask about the specials. Kaneisha said rudely something about a fish sandwich. But she ordered salad bar and water with lemon. We went to the salad bar. The salad bar was bad at least eight items was empty. We got to table and had to ask for silverware. After we got our drinks we had to ask for straws. My wife got her water but no lemons. I got a lemonade not an Arnold Palmer. We had to ask for the lemons. She brought the lemons rudely like we was broughting her. After we ate our salads she came back I ask what my drink was. She said it was an Arnold Palmer. I said it was more like a lemonade. She slapped the check down on the table and said "there is that" and stormed away. We paid the bill with cash.“

“My Home style chicken was terrible. It didn’t taste like the home style I have gotten before and it’s one of my favorites. I didn’t eat hardly any of it. I was disappointed and wished I have just ordered a vegetable plate. The green beans are terrible also I think they’re cooking them a different way. I was so disappointed and I’m a fan of Cracker Barrel but may choose to go to a different restaurant next time we go out to eat.“

“Awesome food!! Best steak ever at a Mexican restaurant!!! Great service and super fast!!! Will definitely be back!!!“

“I had lunch today, and the chicken salad was amazing! 😍“

“Good and greasy! It’s been 20 years since having Waffle House and this was just as I remembered it.“

“Great food! Great service!“

“Food is extremely good. Fair price. Owner is a really nice gentleman that will make sure you leave his establishment full and happy. Very clean restaurant and restrooms“

“We brought our friends and family here yesterday (5/17) after our daughters Graduation from UT. group of 13. It was an hour and some change to be seated, which was fine. The location isn't really set up for big groups to sit together so we had two booths. The main point of the review is to highlight Jacob, our server. he was absolutely fantastic. We knew the wait for food would be a while, but he was so friendly and engaging with us we didn't really notice the time. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy. food was hot and fresh, drinks stayed full and he did all of it with a smile.“

“Had lunch here with a friend. The waitress came by and checked on us often and was very friendly. The food was brought out quickly and was hot and fresh. My friend recommends the chicken pot pie. I had the crispy chicken salad, and it was really good.“

“Thank you so much for providing lunch for us at ETMG!!!! It was excellent as always.🥰“

“I love coming there the food is excellent and service is great Kristen made sure we had everything we needed such a pleasant dinner will definitely be back“

“My 13 year old son and I stopped in for dinner tonight. Stephany was amazing! Very tentative, offered great food and drink recommendations, and even in the midst of chaos, she kept a smile in her face. She was even able to get my tired, grumpy son to crack a smile.
Thank you Stephany for signing my son's hat also!“

“Well, they got a new chicken sandwich out and according to the picture I took it’s pretty freaking big. My stepfather and I enjoyed a lunch at Applebee’s. The food came out warm and of course there was the all factor which you don’t ever get anymore so thank you for that. You should definitely try the new chicken sandwich..“

“Cas or Cassie is on top of it every time. I watch how hard she works, and I don't know how much she makes, but she definitely definitely deserves a raise! The customer service I get from her every time is why I continue to be your customer. There are times I've been somewhat complicated with my orders, but she always made me feel like it wasn't an issue. Thank you, Cas, for being such a great server.❤️?“

“My mother in law. Well mom now for almost 30 years LOVES LOVES fish. Most of the time that’s what she ask for. She is in the hospital right now and fish is what she wonted“
