Restaurants in Knoxville

“The food was outstanding! So was the service. The atmosphere is great for a nice but not formal experience with a fine-dining flare.

We celebrated our anniversary. Sadly all of the photos are on my wife's phone, but it was all exceptional.”

“Ami is a very professional, kind, and hardworking server and as a server who works in pigeon forge, I would personally say she is better than me, keep up the awesome work Ami!!!!!”

“Our favorite weekend brunch in Knoxville. Casual outdoor dining. We love the mimosa board (4 fresh juices and a bottle of champagne). Thank you Brenna for great service. And, of course the beignets with chocolate sauce!”

“First time in and it was amazing! Great food, drinks and service.”

“Fantastic girls getting it done! They should play Fail Army on tv,that’s funny.Not as many guys as you think watch sports at all.I know because I go there a lot.”

“charisma is the best waitress! great food, fast delivery, no watered down tequila!!! love it!!”

“Lots of thoughts! The acai base was extremely good- very thick and almost stretchy. Not a fan of the pitaya base, it was pretty icy. The bruschetta toast was very tart, too much so for me but my sister loved it. The avocado toast was generous with the avocado. The avocado spread was pretty tangy, but the honey drizzle on top complimented the tanginess nicely. The bowl was $14.50 and each toast was $6.50.”

“Some of the best dumplings I've ever had. The staff is friendly and hospitable and the restaurant is clean and comfy. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try!”

“staff was friendly and helpful made some great suggestions for someone who has never been there. absolute banger, fresh ingredients, modern take on authentic Italian Pizza, margaritas are class with plenty of modern takes on the menu”

“We visited for the first time today and had amazing food. We had the most helpful and friendly service! This place is so gooood! We will be back to try more soon. 10/10”

“Best place I've eaten by far. Great food all around. Disappointed they took away the king crab legs BUT still my favorite place to eat. All their meats are perfectly cooked.”

“The cookies are always amazing, service is wonderful and very welcoming and knowledgeable. The cleanliness is always top notch!

Parking: There is many spots available!

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly options that everyone will love!”

“Had a great impromptu lunch at the bar! Fish & Chips was abundant and delicious. (My only suggestion is to add a small side of peas.) Loved seeing Clinch River Monster on tap, and enjoyed their Ace of Cups imperial cider. And Qy was a terrific server/bartender: cheerful, knowledgeable, attentive. Will return for sure!”

“Dinner August 20 in the bar was splendid. Beverages, entrees, sides were all excellent and desserts were over the top. Service was attentive, professional, and non-intrusive. This is our favorite place in Knoxville for elegant casual dining. A larger-than-usual party made it noisier than we have experienced on other occasions.”

“The food was great, and Gretchen was an excellent server. It’s the second time I’ve eaten here this week.”

“The service at The Kennedy in downtown Knoxville was outstanding! We had the pleasure of being served by Jorge, and he truly made our night. Friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, he struck the perfect balance and made us feel genuinely cared for throughout the meal. The food and drinks were just as impressive. We tried a few cocktails, and they were perfectly balanced and beautifully made. The Wagyu burger and truffle fries were incredibly flavorful. The sausage pizza was also delicious. Between the excellent food and Jorge’s exceptional service, The Kennedy easily earns a spot on our go-to list in Knoxville. Highly recommend!”

“I’ve been to Kefi several times and have never been disappointed. I’ve ordered appetizers at the bar, to-go, and enjoyed a relaxing dining experience in the restaurant. My absolute favorite is still the mahamara dip.”

“First time In was November 16th what a cool place the music was so good the food was great and the service excellent I will be back.”

“This is a fun bar with good snacks and fun games. You can play pinball, vintage style arcade games, board games, and video games. The cocktail menu is where they really shine!”

“Their lamb is a mix of beef and lamb. If you aren't a fan of lamb, you will likely enjoy their lamb. It's worth the taste exploration. It doesn't have the off putting lamb flavor that some people are sensitive to. Try it. It's good. And the employee servers were friendly and animated.”

“the food was amazing. the service superb. eating as much quality meat as you want for one price? what's not to love? Definitely will be back next time we are in the area.”

“I had So much fun! The cocktails are out of this world (pun totally intended)! The food was unique and tasty! I will be going back & must try every cocktail & every item on the menu! The staff are the friendliest out there, especially Bri!! I highly recommend this hidden gem 💫 👽☄️🤖🪐”

“From atmosphere to wonderful service to incredible dining, we give Farmacy 10 out of 5 stars!! ⭐️”

“Went here for the first time last night and it was fantastic. The parmentier de canard (duck with mashed potatoes) was probably one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten. The ratatouille was also quite nice, though maybe a bit overpriced. The fromager came to our table and helped us select cheeses, which were amazing. French onion soup—what can I say? They know what they’re doing. Superb. The gateau Basque—wow. So creamy and flavorful, yet subtle. Even the espresso was great. Oh, and don’t forget the baguette and butter! Served warm in a paper wrapper…yum. Fantastic service from Nichole and the rest of the staff. The decor is beautiful Euro-bohemian. Cozy velvet booths, gorgeous art deco chandeliers, warm atmosphere. Highly recommend!”

“This was my first time visiting this location. The service was absolutely excellent. We had a large party of twelve people, but the waiter and waitress kept everything moving quickly. My drink was constantly full. The food came out amazing. One of the best steaks I've had. Definitely save room for dessert.”

“The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable! The craft atmosphere can be felt in the surroundings the drinks and the food!! 10 out of 10. We will def be regulars!”

“Very good place to eat!!! All the staff are super friendly!!! Food was delicious!!!”

“super good food and even better customer service”

“Our family had the pleasure of dining at the Gatlinburg, TN location. We have a non-verbal, special needs son who uses a wheelchair. They made us feel welcomed by seating us at a perfect table that was accessible and yet out of the way to accommodate his wheelchair. Thank you to the seating hostess for accommodating us! 💜 Then we had a wonderful server by the name of Mark! He provided excellent service, made sure that our son felt welcomed, and made sure our son had a wonderful meal that he enjoyed very much! We explained our son's dietary restrictions and Mark did a excellent job at making recommendations for our son's meal. The excitement our son had from his first bite of the Neva's Potatoes was priceless! His face lit up with excitement, scooched his wheelchair closer, and leaned in closer over the potatoes. lol Kinda wished we had gotten extra potatoes for him to have again later. He was just as excited while eating his leftovers too! Thank you to our server Mark and Chesapeake's for the wonderful meal and accomodating our family. We highly recommend this restaurant! 🥰”

“First time eating there. Read Grubhub article in paper. He was wrong in his rating, it's a 5! For anyone really serious about Korean/Japanese fine cooking KOKO is a must. It has been said that we eat with our eyes too. Dishes were finely presented and they tasted as good as they looked. Dishes are light and complex without being fussy. I believe they have set the bar for Asian cuisine in Knoxville.”

“Great food, great staff! Thank you all”

“Double hash browns, smothered and peppered. I live outside Chicago and every time I head South I have to go to Waffle House.”

“As usual it's great food and the one on cedar bluff has great service also!!”

“This experience a is exactly why I started going to waffle house decades ago. I haven't been to a waffle house in years, because the service had declined, but this experience restored my love for waffle house.”

“very nice and quick staff. I will try and stop here again”

“I love this restaurant they have delicious food”

“The store was busy as all get out people where in line out the door and a cute red headed lady was running the place like a general leading the troops to battle she sent one waitress per each flank and I swear those hashbrownd didn't know what hit em they found themselves scattered, smotherd and coverd before they knew what hit em and to add insult to injury that cute red headed waitress/cook chopped pepperd cappd and finally topped like nobody's buisness. I do declare that fine little red headed filly then comensed singing the waffle house song while she washed every dish in the place 3 times all by herself. I've neve0r00 been 0s0o impressed by any waffle house crew as I was this one that girl was a well oiled machine I tell ya lubed in all the right spots why if I could I would make that filly an honest woman and court that lovely lady I'd be a mite more agreeable if I had me a woman like that I think I heard someone call her Marie or Ham or somethin they shore did get em a humdinger Hirrin that Philly belive me you”

“I love the mac & cheese w bacon. Everyone there is friendly and curtious. This is the best Casey's around. The staff keep it cleaned and well stocked. Along with great tasting, fresh food, especially around lunch time.”

“I told him this morning, how Wideawake everybody was and how friendly they were all smiling in the store this morning the customers in these two girls apparently I'm a terrible picture taker this morning. It was supposed to show my carb free pork rinds in my wonderful decaffeinated cup of coffee. I mentioned to them my friend. I am so excited about she's got the most beautiful southern accent up north she used to live down here. Her name is Karen. She is definitely not like the fishing dock Karen. You would want to go to the boondocks and watch a sunset. Lol or a sunrise. Thanks you guys for all your energy this morning”

“Squeaky Clean! Go see em!”

“Fast courteous service. Everyone got a tip💰😊”

“This is a new locator me since my new job is right next to it.I love it. The pizza is delicious. It's fully stocked and has lots of drink and food options and the main guy behind the counter is always awesome.”

“Honestly only been here twice any size drink for 1$ is refreshing due to everything being extremely expensive the soda's tasted perfect and lasted us hours I'm a doordasher so it's a good place to go!”

“On 9/13/24, I stopped at Casey's store #4212 at 2518 N. Broadway St in Knoxville TN 37917, Reg 3 to purchase $20.00 of gas. The service was great except I could not receive points for my purchase. Receipt #3448519. My phone number attached to the sale is:
Thank you”

“The manager who was working on 10/16 around 7 pm is excellent. My pizza was a few minutes late and he went above and beyond. I regret not getting his name but I can’t express enough how pleased I was. He was clearly busy with stocking and other things but remained very communicative the whole time!”

“Some of the best food for the price and atmosphere is always busy but the wait worth it gold”

“Amazing place! Ordered a Birthday cake and it was decorated beautifully and tasted amazing! Thank you guys so much ❤️”

“Great service and AMAZING wings! Easily the best in the area.”

“Cava has a great variety of items to select from. The restaurant is clean and the staff is very friendly. You can build your own bowl with fresh ingredients. However if you know what authentic falafel tastes like skip their falafel.”

“This chicken was super!
I had the Hot Honey and the chicken got impatient with the small talk between me and buddy. Hopped out of bun, did not get far. Service was very good too.”

“Mooyah...burger joint par excellence! Everything I have ever eaten there is fresh (prepared after you order) and perfectly seasoned. Service is friendly and engaged with the guests. But wait, there's more. I challenge you to try their chocolate shakes which are not dispensed out of a machine. I'd be shocked if you didn't say, "The best I ever had!"”

“We stumbled upon this place while we were looking for a local place to grab breakfast. You do want to be there early as it is a first come, first serve - one man shop. The blueberry breakfast sandwich and blueberry biscuits were buttery and soft. Excellent experience and we will be back next time we’re in the area. Highly recommend!”

“Over the top Service, friendliness. The food is excellent better than what you can find in Miami. I can say this with authority as I am Cuban and have had everyone of their dishes”

“Delicious food, clean environment, friendly staff, great prices. Cannot recommend enough”

“My 1st cookie experience was the lemon cupcake cookie. I loved it so much that I turned about a dozen people on to it! I truly wish they would make it a staple like the chocolate chip cookie”

“Great food and great staff! Always have an amazing time here”

“Sooooo good! The best ice cream you will ever try! It is a little busy and we had to wait outside in a line probably because it was a Saturday night but other than that 10/10 the staff is super friendly and service is very quick, the ice creamer is the best, definitely worth trying it out.”

“This place is AWESOME!! From the cleanliness of the place as well as indoor and outdoor seating, courteous staff to the incredible flavors of ice cream, donuts and I especially love the pretzel. The best I've ever had! the ice cream is so creamy and fresh every time I've been there! My whole and extended family love this place and my 16 year old granddaughter says the ice cream is the best she's ever had...and that's saying something! Everyone..please come and see what all the hype is about!!”

“Finally open later hours and on the weekends again! Delicious pizza, made with fresh ingredients. Incredible pastries made with proper pastry cream. Lobster tail pastries, napoleons, tiramisu, cheesecakes, all freshly made in house, and cookies brought directly from New York bakeries. Pick some dinner and dessert up on your way home, or eat in house. Always willing to work with allergies.”

“can't ask for a better place to have a beer in the region or possibly the entire southeast.”

“We went to the mall to walk and have dinner last night. We had never seen this place but decided to try it out! I had the pulled pork sandwich with cornbread and chips, and my husband had the pulled pork sandwich with cornbread, baked beans and coleslaw. It was very good southern BBQ. I loved the sweet cornbread because it was just the right amount of sweet and not dry. It was a very good change from your typical mall food court options. They are locally owned and not a chain and a great place to take a break from the busyness of the mall. They are located just across from Great American Cookie Company next to the Cinnebare entrance. The customer service was amazing! I highly recommend this restaurant, and we will be back!”

“Thank you for taking care of so many lunches and dinners for our daughter while she lived across the street!”

“We have been going for about two months now at least once a week (sometimes more) we make the drive from Maryville just for the friendly people and a good cup of Çay 😎 absolutely love the Turkish food and service is always fantastic highly recommend”

“First time eating at SmashCity and it was ALL good. Great service and great food. The spicy smash burger had just enough heat but not too much. Great crispness to the edges of the burgers. I really enjoyed the overall flavor. The fries were just right - crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.”

“This is simply the best restaurant in Knoxville. Not only is the food absolutely delicious, the servings are large and the food is hot or cold, depending on what it is. The wonderful slaw is always chilled. In addition, the servers are friendly and efficient, although possibly overworked. What a great experience!”

“Cava is hands down one of the best places to go and eat. The employees have a great attitude and always get me right. The food is amazing and fresh everytime. I honestly don’t know how Chipotle is still in business.”

“On brief vacation with my lovely wife, our hotel clerk suggested Monterrey which was close by. Visited of Friday evening and the place was packed. Many of the patrons appeared to be of Mexican descent, always a good sign of good, authentic food. We were quickly seated in a super clean, delicious smelling dining room and immediately greeted by a lovely young lady who brought us hot, fresh tortilla chips and a wonderfully tasty, fresh salsa which must have been made in house with chunks of fresh tomato and the perfect blend of chillies and herbs. We noticed that everyone was super clean and superbly efficient in doing their assigned tasks without being in the way, all the while appearing to be genuinely happy! This is a sign of an excellently managed business. A handsome, well I groomed gentleman (who I think is a part of the nuclear family who has operated this business for 35 years) stopped at our table to greet us and express his genuine appreciation for our patronage. He recommended a house specialty 'POLLO MONTERREY'. What a magnificent dish! Perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked chicken with spinach and some secret ingredients and spiced most excellently. Sizzling hot dancing sauces made this dish visually stunning and aromatically enticing. I cannot recommend this dish too highly. It was so delightfully good that we came back today, Saturday, for a repeat performance. This restaurant shows me how well an establishment can be operated. Nothing but excellence, unpretentious class, and the utmost in genuine customer service and satisfaction. Just so you know, my wife and I are not food critics, just common folks who appreciate being so well cared for in every respect. I forgot to mention the prices! We found the entire experience to be a tremendously good value. Do yourself a favor and visit this place. I expect you'll become regulars. We would be except that we live on Jane beautiful west (best) coast of Florida. Once again, Monterrey is in our decades long experience, right at the top of restaurants we would chose to frequent. Alan & Jane”

“We needed a burger and a quick old fashioned! This place was packed and they still turned out our food and drinks fast! The well whiskey was good too. I should have gotten the whiskey flight! Buffalo trace , welled reserve, Blanton’s, and to finish it off with some Taylor! Man, that sounded like a great choice! This is place is on my Must revisit!”

“Kabuki has great food and a very friendly staff! Jenny is kind and helpful. The food always comes out quick. Clean restaurant and a huge menu. Best sushi in Knoxville!”

“This is by far my favorite ice cream stop in the whole world. No kidding they are the best. This location is really unique and friendly. Located in a large Victorian style house, Cruze Farm East Knox has plenty of parking, lots of indoor and outdoor seating, and a drive thru! The staff are attentive, friendly and enthused for ice cream. Make sure to sample before you decide and they have pints of their amazing flavors to take home.”

“My husband and I love Gus's fried chicken. We recommend Gus's to our friends and they always thank us. Heavyn and Grace are two of our servers we enjoy getting to know. They have the most gracious staff. Thank you!”

“We were here celebrating Fathers Day. We love this restaurant but I was disappointed with my 10 oz ribeye. We were there June 17, 2025. My husband ordered the 7 oz sirtion & it was much thicker & larger than my ribeye. The ribeye I was served was very thin. This is unusual for the Chophouse cause I always order the 10 oz ribeye & it is always spot on.We celebrate special occasions here & love it. The house salad is amazing. Hopefully I won’t be disappointed the next time I order ribeye. Thank you Kathy Adderholdt”

“We had the fish and fries and it was so delicious we really enjoyed! It was so fresh and best around here”

“Fast, friendly, knowledgeable service. Food was absolutely delicious and we cannot wait to go back!”

“We had a baby shower at CommonPlace Coffee & Community, it was the perfect event space! The staff member present was amazing, kind, and super helpful. The space is huge and accommodates a good amount of people, it was super spacious and we were able to decorate as well for the theme. I would recommend to anyone for an event, it had such a cozy vibe and was a great experience!”

“Best cupcakes ever! They were the hit of our baseball banquet. Thank you!”

“We did a cake tasting with her about a year and a half prior to the wedding. The cake was delicious and she was so accommodating. She gave suggestions and her work was flawless come wedding day. We had 3 different cakes with 3 different flavors. We left our wedding with only a few slices remaining. Our guest raved about the cake. I would highly recommend All Mixed Up Cakes for your cake needs.”

“We husband and I celebrated Valentine’s Day at Fleming’s. This was our first experience, and it was wonderful! My filet was cooked perfectly. Chelsea was an awesome server! We will be back!”

“Will NEVER eat there! Served my son a ROTTEN Oyster!!! Emily Acknowledged and apologized that the oyster was rotten!! I spoke to her after the incident and she was very apologetic and wanted to make it right!! Fast forward, asked for all the receipts for his medical care and then crickets!!! Weeks later, he received a $50- gift card, what a joke!! That is NO WAY to do business!!! BEWARE!!!!”

“We enjoyed the atmosphere of the historic architecture and celebrated our anniversary with a champagne greeting at the door and a card from the staff! We thoroughly enjoyed this night of dinning adventure (see photos) and fine cuisine full of flavor. Very on point and professional. Thank you staff! We will be back!”

“Staff is extremely friendly, easy backing into the docks..free coffee lol. If your load is late due to production, they'll have you drop your trailer & head over to Pilot for your 10.”

“This was our first time trying Afgani food. It was delicious! We had the Rom bowl with beef and chicken and rice pudding. My son loved the presentation of the bread sealed bowl- he was surprised to find all of the rice and meat inside of the bread. The rice was cooked perfectly.
Amazing flavors all around. Lovely service! Highly recommend!”

“The 24" is huge and delicious! The rolling pins are the biggest mozzarella sticks I've ever seen and so good. The marinara is fantastic. Friendly staff! Love this place!”

“The besssssst food 😋 sweet potatoes are my fav!”

“We love this restaurant!!! Outstanding service, huge portions, and the food tastes great!! Last night we had Austin as our server. He crushed it!! He answered all of our menu questions and made sure we were happy during our visit. Definitely going back again.”

“Our first visit for dinner won’t be the last! We ordered steak and burgers and were very very satisfied-great quality food! Charity, the manager, and Lily, our waitress, went above and beyond to provide amazing service. It was obvious that that is the standard to which they do business. We were very impressed and will definitely be back!”

“We love place! The food is great and always consistent. I can't even say we like one thing over another, everything is AWESOME!”

“Shout out to the bartender, Tara. You were absolutely phenomenal during our visit! Keep making those amazing White Russians!!”

“Jig and Reel is a Knoxville staple. I’ve been coming here since college. The whiskey menu is extensive so if that’s your thing, this is the place. The food is shockingly good. I have always loved their fish and chips - super crispy, great fries, and homemade tartar sauce. My husband loves their scotch egg. We reserved their side room for an event recently and were so impressed. There was no fee for renting as we had about 30 people there that would be eating and ordering drinks. We were able to decorate the room to our liking (but of course took everything down afterwards). We ordered a charcuterie board and it was absolutely beautiful and delicious. Our server (can’t remember his name but he kinda looks like the DJ ‘Eliminate’) was fantastic. He was fast with orders, very observant of the room, and offered help wherever we needed. I was also happy to see that we were still treated well with it being a queer event - there was no hostility. We’ll happily have more events in the future here.”

“absolutely amazing food first time trying it after seeing the post on backroom Knox page thanks to them I now know where to get 1 of the best burgers in knoxville! 😅 I was nervous because im a foodie but once i got it & tastes it all OMGOSH its AMAZING if you havent tried the DOUBLE SMASH BURGER & GUMBO & POTATO SALAD yet you should try it soon as they open ( RUN DONT WALK ) 🥵🤌🏻 Indeed rrecommendfor everyone 😋 tysm for the great food 🥰”

“Our Latte’s were fabulous and they had several sugar free options. The service was great too!! #kernsfoodhall”

“I host events at HiWire and Leslie and her crew have always been so accommodating from day one. They are such a delight to work with. I love the space and how flexible they are with working with any event hosted there. It is extremely dog and family friendly. They always have a great selection of drinks for any pallette. the rooftop is a great spot on good weather days. Definitely recommend checking it out.”

“I’ve had friends recommend Hello Tea House many times. Today my husband and I finally tried it!! The gal who waited on us - I think she’s an owner - was so helpful and patient with us newbies!! 💕 We got savory spicy chicken crepe sandwiches and bubble teas to start. It was cool to watch the sandwich making process from beginning to end! And both the teas and sandwiches were DELICIOUS!! Of course, we saved room for dessert. Thankful we did!! The wild berry sweet crepe - recommended by the same gal - was A-MAZ-ING!! We both agreed we should have started with THAT!! Next time!! 😜”

“The food is amazing! & pricing too.”

“Amazing flavors , best food in town!!!”

“As new management has taken over and they have made parking FREE, it is such a better atmosphere. So many restaurants to choose from. The shopping is top notch and the lawn is such a great place to hang out. 100/10! Way to go Kern's Food Hall for making our downtown even better!”

“Love this place and the people.”

“WE ORDERED A LARGE PIZZA AND A LARGE GREEK SALAD YESTERDAY AT 235PM. MY HUSBAND ARRIVED THERE AT 255PM AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE A COUPLE OF MINUTES MORE. HE RECIVED THE PIZZA AT 330PM. WHEN HE BOUGHT THE ORDER HOME INSTEAD OF A LARGE GREEK SALAD THEY SENT A SMALL GREEK SALAD. I CALLED BACK TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS SMALL ORDER THAT TOOK AN HOUR TO RECIEVE AND THE MANAGER ( MAN ) TOLD ME THEN I SHOULD'VE ORDERED THRU DOOR DASH. IF THIS IS NOT THE MOST STUPID RESPONSE OF THIS MANAGERS INEPTITUDE TO RUN A BUSINESS. HE BLAMES IT ON A TOTALLY IRRELEVANT OTHER PARTY INSTEAD OF TAKING RESPONSIBILITY OF THE SERVICE PAID FOR. I REALLY USED TO LIKE MELLOW MUSHROOM BUT I WILL NO LONGER B PATRONIZE THIS BUSINESS. CUSTOMER SRRVICE IS NO LONGER A PRIORITY IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. PROBABLY A TRUMP SUPPORTED FRANCHISE. NOT SURPRISED AT ALL.”

“This is simply the best restaurant in Knoxville. Not only is the food absolutely delicious, the servings are large and the food is hot or cold, depending on what it is.

You wont regret it. if your doing laundry next door. Perfect spot to wait. Highly recommend. Will he back!”

A 10 out of 10, I highly recommend.”

“On Tuesday, July 29th I decided to take my wife, kids and grandchild out for a good dinner (7 total). Famous Dave's did not disappoint! We were greeted warmly at the door and seated very quickly. With us having so many people, we ordered the All American barbecue feast, order of wings, fried pickles and egg rolls. Oh, and an extra order of those stupindoesly delicious muffins! Our food didn't take long to hit the table and man, was it good! Everything from the corn on the cob to the brisket was fresh and hot. Everyone raved about the new egg rolls but, my favorite was the beans, ribs and muffins. Our server made sure we had everything we needed and was super nice and helpful. There isn't a single thing I could even remotely complain about when it comes to our wonderful dinner at Dave's. We had a good time, good food and made some good memories!”

“Phenomenal customer service!!!! The coffee was delicious and the chocolates and baked goods were amazingly good!!!! I will definitely be back!!!”

“Delish cookie dough soft serve!! It was incredible! The cone, however, was definitely not as delicious as I expected it to be. It had a citrus taste, different texture that I expected, and was super sweet.
No more cones for me, but I will be back for ice cream!”

“Amazing food, location, and service! This is a go to lunch or dinner spot for our family!”
