“Vahid was thee best waiter I’ve ever had in my entire life and deserves all the love and praise: I implore anyone and everyone to ask for him to be their waiter. We did the “staff choice” thing, dont remember the name, and he organized an incredible meal and walked us through it wonderfully. Hands down thee best pizza in Knoxville, will continue to be the place I hype up the most.Dietary restrictions: Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options”

“We went to the bar to wait for our reservation time. We asked the women bartender if it was happy hour and she replied it was. So we ordered drinks. When our table was ready, we paid our tab, and we were charged regular price for our drinks. We brought it to her attention that she charged us regular price for our drinks. She replied that our order was not on the happy hour menu. We'll it would of been nice if she brought it to or attention when we inquired about happy hour. She was also not very friendly. This will be the last time visiting the bar at Connors. I think we will stick to the Chop House over Connors.”

“I have been seeing lots of adds on Facebook for this pizzeria. I finally decided to order a pizza to my office for delivery. Normally, I do not like to order pizza for delivery because the time the pizza gets to me, it is soggy and taste like it has been sitting around too long. This pizza was one of the best pizzas I have ordered since moving to Knoxville. I ordered the margherita pizza with extra veggies and it was delicious. My co-workers could not believe how fresh the pizza was and the crust was so light and yummy. I would order from this restaurant again and I cannot wait to go into the restaurant and see what else they offer.”
“Wow! Just Wow! Great vibe, super spacey cocktails, and the staff is Out of this World!!! Something you definitely need to experience!!! Reservations are recommended. A Knoxville Must!!!”

“This place is amazing, and just what we wanted so close to home.The food was amazing- if there was a wait, we didn't notice, and would not have cared because the food was obviously fresh and made to order- and absolutely delicious. I am a huge boba fan, and loved the house boba.We can not wait to become regulars here!”

“This is one of the best ice cream shops I have ever been to! Unique flavors, creamy, and big portions! They also sell delicious in house made pretzels! We thoroughly enjoyed every flavor we had and we WILL return again! Their workers were very friendly and helpful, shop is very inviting, clean, chic, and outside there is a super cute, fun kid play area with picnic tables. Highly recommend for your family night out!Kid-friendliness: Adorable play area!”
“This is a gem. Best fried food in Knoxville. Makes me miss my great grandmother's sunday dinner. Just go. Not a fan of the "hot" chicken take they had, but hey not for me. EVERYTHING else was perfect.”

“A great place for a nice bite to eat. A little pricy, but the food is worth it. I sat at the bar because I was by myself. Service could have been a little quicker, but other than that I have nothing to complain about.I had the Cuban sliders & fries cause I was just stopping in for lunch.”
Online Reservation Available
“Always a fun event here. Staff always cool and attentive, but not bothersome. Food is also good, but the atmosphere and fun to be had are unmatched. I don't drink, but the nerdy themed drinks I see coming out always make me consider starting.”

“I’ve come here a few times and every single time I’ve been treated great. When I go I look forward to getting to catch up with everyone.

“I've been twice now. Had the sweet heat chicken and waffles with strawberries. It was delicious. Service was good. You can sit outside, which we did and that was fun. The prices are a little higher than, say, cracker barrel, but absolutely worth every penny!”
“Food was delicious. This was my first time there. I almost missed the restaurant as it looks like a dealership but once there, I was not disappointed. The server was great and I requested that my swordfish not be over cooked. It was exactly as it should be moist and oh so delicious. It was a thick steak and I couldn't have been more satisfied. So, if it's seafood or delicious fish you are looking for, this is the place to visit.”
“My Fiancée and I set out to celebrate our birthdays, we are not from this area so we browsed all around for a romantic dinner spot. We actually left Gatlinburg/Pigeonforge and came here.I couldn't of been more impressed. The atmosphere was so beautiful and intimate, tucked away in a booth with low lighting and it truly was an amazing experience. The staff, the food, the ambience it all felt as if it was catered to us and they truly made the evening such a remarkable one.The cuisine served was absolutely second to none, their kitchen was impeccable with their presentations and flavor profiles. I make no small statement by saying this was by far one of the best meals we have ever shared together.Highly reccomened!!!”

“My wife and I have lived in the Farragut area for over 20 years. Elkmont Station restaurant was phenomenal in every category! The ambience, service, variety of entree's and last but not least quality of food. If you’re looking for the highest level dining experience, I highly recommend this restaurant!”
“Visited the vault while on Vacation in Knoxville. Our hotel was close so we walked, but there is metered street parking, just leave some extra time to find a spot. Attire - Elevated casual. Once you enter Vida go downstairs to enter The Vault. Strongly recommend you make reservations and sit at the bar, not at the tables. Sitting at the bar counter allowed us to view all the action, and service was quicker since we ordered from the bartender. The drinks were the best of any we had in Knoxville (We also went to the Peter Kern Library and Oliver Royale and I would come back to the Vault). Great atmosphere, service and outstanding flavors for cocktails. Definitely will go back when I am in Knoxville again.”
“Blackened fish tacos and fried green tomatoes appetizer were DELICIOUS! Stopped in for a quick bite and a drink. Nice atmosphere and beautifully designed inside .”

My server was prompt with everything and always checked up on us my cup never left empty, my food was always there, definitely some of the best service I had in awhile the place is in a cool underground restaurant so you get a classic feeling while dining. I will definitely be going back for some more Wisconsin cheese fondue! Our server was Autumn I would definitely request her.Dietary restrictions: They respect and consider dietary friendly optionsParking: Parking is right beside the building!”

“This is hands down the best WF I have been to. Super clean. Everyone in uniform. And professional. The line cook who was on, was busy, but her quality of food was great.But MVP goes to Cholee. Super nice. Calls the menu you in a radio announcer tone. Her customer service was above and beyond.The rest of the team worked well. Great job everyone!”
“Standard "Choke & Puke" Diner; busy for a Sunday morning! Service was acceptable and the food was Good and Reasonably Priced!Nice "Change Of Taste" vs. Good 'ol McD's!! ??”
“There's something special about waffle House. It's more than the sum of its parts. Yes the food is just average yes it's loud Yes it's crowded. But all of that adds up and gives it its charm. Prices are extremely reasonable. We've never had bad service. we've never had slow service. we've never had bad food. we've never had a long wait we've never had anything negative here. And we come once a week. It's like breakfast + a show.”
“The food here is awesome!! Who doesn't love breakfast food? The server's are a wonderful group of down to earth men and women who genuinely love what they are doing, and it shows in their work. The atmosphere is a throwback to a time when family, food, and communion meant something. Tell em that Caesar sent you ?”
“I was there yesterday. I noticed one of the cooks came from the back and was handling money. The cook didn't wash their hands and proceeded to cook and touch food while I sat there watching. After some time went by the cook finally put gloves on. I don't want anyone in trouble. Just remind them about hand washing procedures.”
“Chesley the server was very helpful! I had to charge my phone to drive for another 3 hours. She not only helped me with that but also very patient in taking orders and was quick with her service. She seems to have a great attitude and always smiling! ?”
“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.”
“One of the best Waffle Houses in East TN. I drive Uber, and often don't have a lot of options when my hours extend into the early a.m. The crew working tonight were great. My food (a To-Go) was hot, exactly as I ordered it - down to including flatware and hot sauce in the bag. Alana was my cashier, and she was friendly and efficient; and her other 2 coworkers were just the same.Highly recommend.”
“Passing through from Ohio to florida. My fiance and I stopped here for an early 4am breakfastand are so glad we did. We were pleasantly surprised. The food was cooked perfectly. Big shout out to the cook David! Great service by the waitress and waiter thanks waffle house. Pleasant local conversation and helpful tips for the road. Definitely worth the stop”
“Big saleing point for us with waffle House is the waitresses. Everyone that we have ever had has been very nice and very helpful. If there ever is a problem with your order, they are always very quick to fix ”
“I get breakfast here way too often, and other than one annoying experience where nobody acknowledged my presence while 4 cars went through the other drive through, they are great! Always quick, polite, and precise.”
“Absolutely stellar service! Can I thank the gentleman enough that has been there for the longest, you know who I'm talking about. He's so good! Thank you!”
“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!”
“Fantastic customer service. There aren’t many ( if any) gas stations you can go into at 3am and get friendly helpful service.That night time guy is on point!*this is middlebrook location only.The cedarbluff store is completely the opposite”

Patiently took our order - Friend Tomatoes...Fried Okra...Fried chicken...where she was generous to add some more free pieces of fried chicken ??...The chicken was juicy, well cooked, lightly breaded...and a hint of the hot ? spice...!! The fried okra and fried tomatoes were good too!! Recommend Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken ???”

They’re motivated to do their chores and earn money just so they can buy an everbowl! Which makes me happy knowing they are getting a healthy treat!”

“This has become our favorite coffee shop. The staff here are always friendly and welcoming! Absolutely love trying all of the specials that they come up with for the different. Hard to say what I would call a favorite because you would have to find a favorite from each special list! But when in doubt, the s'mores is never a bad choice. The breakfast options are also very good and fresh. Have tried a burrito, which was really good, but tend to learn to the lemon bars!”
“Today is always a good day when I eat at sticky. Normally I am always greeted with love. But tonight I was a little annoyed. I ordered a dish that I had got a week before I didn’t want the dish because the dish didn’t look the same and it looked beautiful, but it didn’t look like what I ate the week before. I didn’t touch it. I didn’t eat it, but one of the Young servers charged me for the dish that I didn’t touch and I didn’t eat. I only got, a noodle bowl. I seen the attitude. I didn’t appreciate being charged for extra dish that I did not eat and I did not touch. I pushed to the side because I did not want it. so I did confront her, Refund my money back, but the young lady should’ve knew better. I was looking dead at her ringing my food up. The owner wouldn’t even had to go through all that if the young server with the long ponytail little short girl new not to charge me two dishes if I only ate one, so she had to refund my money back because the young lady knew better, she should’ve did right the first time and she knew what she was doing! not to charge me extra money that was rude disrespectful and I seen her nasty attitude and she tried to play it off when I asked her about it and she tried to say my manager is responding. I had to go to my manager. You knew better not do that the first time around young lady. don’t play me like I’m stupid. I eat there all the time. If I don’t want something I don’t want it!!!! Don’t over charge me out of SPITE! I’m not gonna stop coming there either BUT YOU WILL NOT SERVE ME.Good night”
“In town for the first time on a solocation and wanted some breakfast food. Did a random Google search for food near my hotel and figured I'd drop in for a quick sandwich pickup before sleeping in more.They say the best things in life are the things you don't expect. Everything from the full flavor doughy gritty somehow equally melt in your mouth biscuit (garlic cheddar) to the egg, cheddar, sausage (they were out of bacon, which means I need to come back to town and try that), and green sauce, was delectable. Is this the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had in my life? It's giving Top 2 and it isn't 2. Thank you!”
“Went with a friend today. Been a while since I’d been and thought I’d give it a second try.I got the AM burger with fried okra and sweet tea. I liked the tea. Not too sweet. And the okra and burger were pretty ok but the patty and the okra seemed like they might have been frozen and not fresh. The food wasn’t bad but my meal being over $20 just doesn’t encourage me to return.Parking: Small parking lot that I had a hard time pulling out of even with my small car. Mostly due to being surrounded by larger vehicles.”
“The soft serve cones they have at Cruze Farm Ice Creamery are beyond generous! The entire establishment has such a dynamic, retro feel to the decor, and you can even grab a complimentary hat for a little one (which we did, and he loved it). Service was beyond prompt, and I received my cone within a minute or two. I love that they do basics like sweet cream all the way up to the more adventurous flavors like Lemon DoleWhip or Carrot Cake. Yum! Definitely bring the whole family to experience Cruze. They also have some products like ice cream by the pint and other dairy products along the side. I also spotted some truly adorable aprons. Parking is downtown, so try a parking garage! There seems to be limited street parking as well.”
“The amount of times I come in a week is embarrassing but that’s saying something! Their garlic jalapeño nuggets are my GO TO. And their fried spring rolls are delish!”
“Autumn “spike” did a fantastic job! Great customer service and super friendly and personable! Would highly recommend to ask for her for your next experience at Bonefish Bearden!”
“Water into Wine is a lovely bistro, with excellent live music, great service, and a wonderful ambience. Our server, Kimmie, was super nice and attentive! The wine was excellent, with a large selection of unique options. The food was also great. We got the meatballs (super yummy), the chicken tacos (also great), and two cheese boards which had great cheese, super yummy candies nuts, and fresh fruit. The best thing we ordered was the chocolate board, which had a delicious selection of white, dark, and milk chocolate. The white chocolate was Cinnamon Toast Crunch flavored and it was SOO GOOD. I would highly recommended coming here, it was fantastic!”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Today was my 1st time at Blossom Bowls. The young woman who helped me was super knowledgeable and so so sweet. She was efficient as she was juggling drive through orders as well as in store. Love my bowl! Will definitely be back to try more!”
“Placed an order online and went to pick it up in the “curd-side” pickup (the name is adorable). Service was fast and my food was accurate and very fresh. The cheese curds are so good and my burger was perfect.Parking: I got curbside and there were a couple of spaces for that. But if I were to dine in, the parking lot seemed very full.”
“Go-to coffee shop for editing photos! I love the environment, all of the staff (especially Victoria and Claudia ), and the coffee is immaculate!! 10/10 would recommend!!”
“Cruze Farms in East Knoxville is a gem. The ice cream is dope - rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor.But what sets it apart is the inviting atmosphere and the exceptional service. It's more than just a dessert spot; it's an experience worth savoring.Just a heads up, it’s best to plan on eating outside. There are some seating spots inside, but they fill up pretty quick.”
“I’ve been here to Burger boys twice now, although everybody ran a raise about their cheeseburgers are good bacon burgers I do love chicken gizzards I have never ever had chicken gizzards so tender, and the batter slight crunch to it awesomely done. I don’t remember the owners name, but the guys really nice hustles, make some great food it’s a Must stop by ”
“Love this place. The BEST ice cream ever!! Love the snow cream, cake batter, and butter pecan. The waffle cones are so good.Dietary restrictions: They have sorbet and sherbet along with the ice cream.”
“Food is always on point with flavor. The Catfish is my favorite, my boyfriend gets the Philly cheese steak sandwich that is also amazing! Highly recommend, y'all check em out!!”
“I went through the drive-thru to pick up dinner. we had the Alfredo and the spaghetti with meat sauce. Both were very good. We didn't have a very long wait at the drive-thru line. Everything was good.”
“I was hesitant to try Thai food in east TN after not having had it since 2010. It surpassed my expectations. The quality and accuracy of it was fantastic. I also felt welcomed and respected by who I assume to be the owners. I will gladly return. My 5-year old daughter tried Thai food for the first time and loved it. :)”
“It's our favorite ice cream spot. We go there and we bring friends and family there when they visit from out of town. Delicious without being over powering sweet. Fun flavors keep us always choosing something different. Seasonal offering to mix up the product choices as well. Plus, we feel like we get to support local even if it is regional.”
“Awesome little place to eat! BBQ chicken and brisket was amazing. Mac&Cheese was fantastic also! Patio seating was wonderful with plenty of shade! Would definitely eat here again!”
“This restaurant transported me on a delightful odyssey through the vibrant tapestry of Indian flavors. The moment I stepped inside, the intoxicating aroma of exotic spices enveloped my senses. For the adventurous diner seeking an exploration of India's rich culinary heritage, this establishment is a must-visit. The meal culminated in a symphony of satisfaction, leaving me not only satiated but curiously invigorated.”
“Hit the drive thru after the eclipse. Got Sundaes with extra stuff and cheese curds based off a recommendation. Food was correct and fresh. W's on all items. Elijah even got our dog a pup cup, which she killed before we even got our curds, which were very decent and really don't need the marinara.”
“Chill coffee shop dedicated to supporting adoptive and foster care. Cannot say enough about this place as a spot for studying, meeting, or a quick cup of Joe. Also has a nice drive through.”
“I did not get a welcome to Moe's and I was hurt.I really really like the steak flavor. And nachos is always the the best. I recommend this place but you ha e to say Welcome to Moe's.....geez ”
“Last night was my fifth time coming here. I always look forward to it. Every dish I’ve had has been perfect. The seafood was better than expected. The crab cakes and tuna are very good. It’s not super expensive either. I will definitely be back!”

Very well done. Friends had the burrito which said it was delicious. Sure looked awesome!Really want to try the challah sandwiches next time.”
“My wife and I have lived in the Farragut area for over 20 years. Elkmont Station restaurant was phenomenal in every category!

“I was searching for an Asian restaurant and found this fusion restaurant. I wasn't too hungry, so I only ordered a mushroom soup and vegetable tempura. Both are excellent!! I also ordered a Groundbreaking cocktail; although they forgot about this order, they immediately made it up for another expresso martini on-house! The service was attentive, though they seemed busy. Overall, this is a great place, and I'd be happy to be back!”

“I would highly recommend this restaurant! Our server Matt was in training and did a superb job. He answered all of our questions, was very professional and personable. We enjoyed two of the chef's specialties, the beef tenderloin medallions and the Arroz con camarones. Both were cooked and seasoned to perfection. The Tenderloins were very generous portion. The shrimp were tender and sweet. Next visit we will plan on spending a little more time enjoying the Speakeasy on the lower level.”
“The place was packed early on and stayed that way. Which is no wonder, the folks were having a good time in a pub.... like they're supposed to! The service was good and the dishes comforting. Let's not forget the vast selection of whiskeys and beer.”
“A mi familia y a mi nos encantó la comida en las Delicias Colombianas. El staff es muy amable, la comida súper deliciosa, tienen mucha variedad de platillos para ofrecer y todo se ve muy limpio. Totalmente recomendado.”

“South Press is an amazing coffee shop. I’m not a huge coffee drinker but they have something for everyone. I got the chicken salad croissant and it was so good. The staff is super kind and helpful. The shop is very homily and inviting. It is also kind to all types which I really appreciate. Highly recommended a stop in to South Press.”
“The advertising says they have the best Reubens.You would be hard pressed to find better.Corned beef was awesome. Tender and wouldn't pull from the sandwich with each bite. Great flavor.Lower bread on 2nd piece didn't get soggy while eating the 1st half and a bunch of onion rings.Dressing, cheese and kraut equally good.Thanks Walter....”
“Very very friendly here, the food is amazing and the atmosphere is very comfortable. Extremely clean and good prices. Best falafel around. Would recommend, got the gyro and falafel.”
“Cuban food that's every bit as good as you'd find in Florida if not better. I've tried probably 3/4 of the menu now, and I've yet to find anything that wasn't superb. Still, the Cuban sandwich is my personal favorite. Nothing beats it, especially when the bread is fresh made in-house. The prices are insanely good too, for both the quantity and quality that you get. Easily my new favorite place to eat in town.Parking: Parking is around back. Plenty of space.”
“We hosted our event at Common Place tonight and had a wonderful time! The atmosphere was cozy yet spacious… like we were in a home, but with plenty of parking and room for a larger group. The coffee and pastries are amazing too!Kid-friendliness: There are board games that kids can play while adults meet.”
“My wife and I will plan day trips to Knoxville with the main purpose of coming to Pacos. The food is always consistently fantastic and the staff is very welcoming. Already looking forward to our next trip ”
“By far the most affordable and best quality sushi I've had in Knoxville. I have no idea how they charge so little for such a good product. Highly recommend.”
“Food is always incredible. The owners and workers are so friendly and make you feel like part of the family! Havent been open though. Are they closed down or moving locations or something?”
“Finally popped in and got the chance to try these little bundles of yummiest! I got the chorizo, beef and apple. I wished I would have bought more because they are absolutely delicious!! I even got my puppy the Em Paw Nadas and she is as pleased as I am! I will be back soon and often!!”
“It was our first time at Caza Brava and it definitely exceeded expectations. The server, Jorge, was amazing. They were so friendly and checked in on us several times. We also mentioned it was our first time there and they made sure we felt welcome. They even brought us some wings to try on the house and they were delicious. We also met the manager or owner, I’m not sure, and they were also amazingly friendly and nice. The food was very good. I had the Mexicano Bowl and it was great. The highlight for me was the tres leches cake, it was the fluffiest cake ever. Our cake portion (picture) was small but it was because I specifically asked for a small piece. I am very excited to come back and bring friends! They also have a great outdoor area that has heaters in the winter, and an area outside for music.”
“The best catfish I've had in years. My companion about licked their plate clean. Great tunes playing. Very friendly staff. The food is made to order, so expect to wait for it. Well worth the wait. If you are ANYWHERE nearby, make the time to go eat here. A special thank you to Chef Blaac. That man is making his family proud with his cookin'. His friendliness and welcoming demeanor can't be beat.Yes, we will be eating here more.”
“The work that Yassin puts into the community is reason enough to stop in.The food here is amazing, and they can be flexible with substitutions. My go-to is the regular chicken plate with hummus instead of the baba ghanoush; I also like to add feta when I feel *fancy*. Sometimes, I get an extra order of just hummus since it's truly my favorite hummus ever. Their chicken sandwich is amazing, but I always need extra white garlic sauce to go with. I also really like their falafel (in sandwich form too), and I think it pairs best with their tahini. I have a friend who swears their tzatziki is the best, so if you need sauce, they will sauce you right.I prefer ordering online because their website is wicked user-friendly, but make sure you pay attention to the times. I've ordered prior to 8 (over an hour before close) and just assumed that it was fine, then read the confirmation more closely and saw that it would be ordered/delivered the next day after opening. Not a them issue, I'm sure, but something to bear in mind.”
“Great clean place. Food is delicious but more Americanized - less authentic but still good ! I've come back 3 times for the same thing ! Lost one star for ingredients not being evenly spread this time and way too many jalapenos. So hot I couldn't taste the other ingredients.”
“Love this place! It’s THE BEST restaurant in Knoxville. It’s family owned and operated and they are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The amount of food you get is massive and it all tastes incredible. The entire menu is delicious. There isn’t anything on the menu you can go wrong ordering. He imports everything, and only serves the best quality Turkish food. The only downside is that once you get food here, every time you go get food somewhere else it will be a disappointment in comparison. Try this place! Even if you aren’t a fan of Mediterranean or Turkish food, you’ll love it. They deserve 6-stars”
“This is one of the best places in town. Best food, best people, best everything. Recently we had a mix up with my order and they bent over backwards to make it right. Four Seasons-level service. And I have known people to fly in to town just for these tamales.”
“What's not to like great people and awesome food very attentive towards everyone at the tableKid-friendliness: Nothing but smiles when it came down to the kids they loved it and the waiters and waitresses would stop and answer the kids questions when they said excuse me can I ask you a question it was awesome.”

The Burgers
“Toby W served us our delicious dinner and he was amazing! Thank you Toby for serving us no different than other especially when we are deaf and you handled our order beautifully! We will be back and hopefully will see you!I had Knox Burger with fries, my hubby had Big Tex burger with onion rings. They were big portioned so the prices were reasonable. This is at Powell location.”
“This is one of our favorite restaurants. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is fun. They work hard to make your experience perfect and will exceed expectations.”
“Stopped in while staying nearby with the family, and I'm always hoping to come across a local find. After a day of driving, the quality brews, atmosphere, and pizza from Off The Wall (on-site) was just what was needed.”
“This was a uniquely awesome experience! Little grills built into the table, you cook your own meat. Huge selection of entrees, great sides and very patient server. 5 star experience, we will be back to try other options.”
“Truly a gem ox Knoxville ! It's very reasonably priced Japanese Fare, with wonderful servers and a beautiful chateau style eating scene. I definitely recommend anyone looking to have a romantic dinner, or even a dinner with the boys go here. ( good adult beverages too ?.) And the RAMEN HOLY COW ..!5/5”

P.F. Chang's
“The food was delicious and our Server, Rovanney was amazing. He was excellent in serving us and he was very knowledgeable in the choices of food. He should train others. Taylor was so sweet and friendly to check how we enjoyed our first experience at their restaurant! And the Manager David was amazing and made us well so welcome. He must inspire his staff to excellence! We will definitely come again. Everyone so Blessed us today and they did not know it was my husband’s birthday ❤️”
“We went to Van Edoms for happy hour and sat outside. Our server, Casey, was excellent. She was attentive and had a great personality. The owner came out to chat with us as well.As for the food, we had the most amazing stuffed mushrooms that were stuffed with goat cheese, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes. That was followed by an order of crispy calamari served with a wonderful garlic aïoli. Since it was happy hour, the 6 oz. wines were half off and the wine list was excellent.We'll be going back frequently.”
“One of the best burgers I have ever had. Great atmosphere and staff was friendly. Been here 3 times now and my experience has always been the same. Now my new fav burger spot!”
“I love the atmosphere and the food. The reason I only give it 4 stars is because they up charge for a freshly grilled chicken on a salad. It's a trend here in Tennessee! You order a "grilled" chicken salad, and the chicken is cold. Probably grilled yesterday. If you want it freshly grilled and hot, that'll be $4 more!”
“I had my birthday dinner there yesterday. It was the most wonderful day. Our waitres was beautiful kindand very attentive. All the staff were great! I will be back again. They made my 63 birthday very special ?”

Tern Club
“This place is really fun, and it's a great place to get some cocktails in Knoxville. I don't get the strongest tropical island vibe from the bar, but it is very nice, and the cocktails didn't disappoint. The $7 happy hour cocktails were a bargain. Our bartender was kind and attentive. We will return to the Tern Club.”
“We celebrated a 50th Wedding Anniversary with a large party and Ruth’s Chris made everyone feel welcomed, food was fantastic, and service was some of the best we have ever experienced. Thank you Ruth’s Chris Steak House!”
“Excellent food! I haven’t had anything that wasn’t prepared well. The service is always very good and they take reservations which is a benefit since it is always ”
“Great food, great ambiance and exceptional service. Couldnt have been better. 2nd time. Here and it still impresses. I do t know why more folks aren't talking about this place.”
“The Central Ave location has a beautiful, inviting interior, comfortable seating, and we loved that the tables came from local Smoky Mountain Vintage Lumber! Michelle made us feel welcome right away, provided top service, and guided us through our first visit with solid suggestions. We started with Oysters Rockefeller and an incredibly rich Irish potato soup, then moved on to the duck and scallops for our entres. All were flavorful and beautifully presented. We shared an espresso cheesecake for dessert and enjoyed every bite.”
“The food was phenomenal. The seafood bread will knock your socks off. Our waitress was decent but once we got our food we didn't see her again. The only thing that I didn't love was the ambiance, they have "decorated" every surface in the restaurant by allowing people to write as they please all over everything with a sharpie. Made it feel unclean”
“Eaten dinner here quite a few times in the past but tonight’s wasn’t up to our last visits. Service was good as always, Austin took good care of us but the food ( fettuccine bolognese,swordfish) was just ok not great like in the past.”
“Looking for some good tasting cold beer, and some really good burgers, well this is the place. Stopped in after our meeting and glad we did. The burgers were the bomb, cooked just the way you asked for it, fresh and juicy. And the beer, it's cold and refreshing, yeah even in the late winter. March is our burger month, so when we go out, we try to find the best burger around. This place makes our top 3 of 9 places between Johnson City and Knoxville. We'll keep posting if we find some more surprises. Don't worry guys we shall return.”

Kaizen
“I had a superb experience this weekend. The Pad Ke Mao was seasoned perfectly, just enough spice (but beware if you have a mild palate!), tender noodles. Our server was friendly and helped us through the menu. Looking forward to the next time already.”
“Great place, atmosphere and staff. Abby is an amazing bartender, best in Knoxville. The General Manager Hannah is super friendly and helpful in booking our next party. Will definitely be back.”
“Super yummy, from Southern California so pretty impressive, and there's even a brick and mortar with a drive thru down Kingston Pike. Where you can actually get breakfast burritos ?”
“This is a really cool German brewery/restaurant in a building that looks like a castle. They have a regular inside part, but they also have a Bier garden part where you can order food like you're at a fair and eat outside. The food was delicious. The only real issue is that they don't have a parking lot, so finding a place on the street to park can be difficult.”

Brother Wolf
“this was a very fun and unexpected find, stumbled upon it, and glad we did. the decor is lively, the staff is charming and the food was delicious. really enjoyed the pesto gnocchi...the pesto was rich and a bit spicy, nice touch with the roasted pignoli. also tried the pear ginger cocktail and it was refreshing as advertised. thia is a fun place I'll seek out again if i drive through knoxville again one day.Vegetarian options: the kitchen was kind enough to make mine without meat, there were other options, but how can one resist gnocchi?”
“The food here is always delicious. And if you're in a small group, it is the perfect place to have breakfast. It's not a trendy place, it's just good cooking. The only reason I reduced it by a star is because anytime I've gone there with more than six people. The staff seems quite aggravated. I don't know why it's a problem, but I suppose moving the tables around gets them frustrated.”
“Me and my gf stopped by here from our road trip was very suprised with how good the food and service was wings were outstanding for a Mexican restaurant as well as the fajita 10/10”

Nixon's Deli
“Way to go Nixon’s Deli !!! Happy birthday to the most amazing employee, Tyler ! It’s always a joy to be there when you are working ! You are one fantastic employee and Nixons is lucky to have you ! ?”
“Flavorful and well prepared. Carnitas were braised and fork tender. Chimichanga was perfectly fried. Slightly crispy on the outside and the inside ingredients were hot and juicy.”
“Authentic German Heritage of Product and Staff. After three and a half years of living in this area, and many visits to Schulz Bräu Brewing Company, I have become quite a fan. Having first hand experience of German region culture, Schulz Bräu is as real as it gets right here in Knoxville. And don’t miss out on the special events! The environment is a setting that places you as if you are in a village in Germany. After all, I understand the Brewmasters are actually from Germany. The list of beers are plenty and of the best you’ll experience. And food menu and prep is as authentic as the brew. Brats, schnitzel, and more.If to out perform the product and setting, the staff has to be the best part. Clad in German attire, the staff accents the environment perfectly. Everyone attending to the taps, the kitchen, the tables, are all unique in their delivery of service. All showing happiness of being there that is the best part and gems of Schulz Bräu Brewery. Whether indoors or in the outside courtyard, you are sure to enjoy this wonderful real culture German experience. Here is to the owners and staff of Schulz Bräu Brewery…Prost! Well done!!!Posted photos are from the 2nd Annual Ritterfest.”

“I was searching for an Asian restaurant and found this fusion restaurant. I wasn't too hungry, so I only ordered a mushroom soup and vegetable tempura. Both are excellent!! I also ordered a Groundbreaking cocktail; although they forgot about this order, they immediately made it up for another expresso martini on-house! The service was attentive, though they seemed busy. Overall, this is a great place, and I'd be happy to be back!”
“I've drove past this place several times on the way to other breweries in the area. I'm glad I finally stopped. Parking is a bit difficult to figure out, but just go around the block behind the place and you'll see the lot. Its worth it. The beer was great and Casey, our Beertender was great as well. He gave us some recommendations for food nearby and not a bad word was said about any of the other breweries nearby. I will return to this place!”
“Great places attract great people! Had a very nice time getting some work done with my dog, a couple of beers, and the football game. The bartender (I think her name was Kristin?) was so welcoming and friendly. Got to chatting with a few other customers and overall, it was a pretty chill place. Will definitely be back.”

Altruda's
“Always a great experience!! Delicious is an understatement!! Go here and eat you won't be disappointed! The rolls and salad are soo yummy too!!!Vegetarian options: There are vegan optionsDietary restrictions: You can bring in gluten free pasta and they will cook it for youParking: Plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: Kids menu”
“Great patio and indoor space! Great sunsets, and awesome events. Love when they have Knoxville and surrounding area food trucks out too! Came here for 90s night awhile back and a few nights since then! Every time I’m in the area, I make an effort to stop over. Don’t skip past this location!”
“We love Lil Tokyo! The staff always remembers us and has our orders basically memorized. Some of the chefs obviously cook differently than others but I haven't had many BAD chefs there. I like it when they cut the chicken into smaller pieces so sometimes I'll ask them to do that. We love the veggie plate also with broccoli for those that sometimes forego the meat.Vegetarian options: We often get the veggie plate. It's broccoli, carrots, baby corn (I don't know what is actually called lol) we are not even close to vegetarian but we like it.Parking: Plenty of spots. It shares a parking lot with food City and Lowe's so you may not get up front but you won't have to walk far either way.Kid-friendliness: They have kids plates that are just as big as the adult ones but cheaper.Wheelchair accessibility: All on one level with a ramp up the curb. I'm not handicapped but I would imagine it's very easy to get around with it all being one level.”
“I love the food, 5 stars on a good day. However, they are inconsistent. Today, the Nachos pastor did not have pico/onions/cilantro and were given to me in a bag upside down.”
“The Revolution Burger was great but, suggest getting the double to make it look like the picture. The price for a single for all the different burgers are $6.99 great pricing for the amount of the burger.”
“A fabulous experience from start to finish. Mario provided exceptional service and Barbara stepped in to help out as well. The food was hot and fresh and the ambience was perfect. Bravo is our go to for Italian!”
“We traveled from Texas to Nashville TN. For our anniversary, drive us 3 hours to see places around us for 3 days, and Restáurate was the best place of all those who visited us, we will definitely return ?”
“Excellent all around! A great place for a celebration, and to be adventurous and try new things. Everything was delicious and very different from the usual fare.”
“Y'all! I was out this way showing a house and stumbled upon Goodness to Go. I knew they had one in Rocky Hill. But, I didn't know Choto had one. OH MY GOODNESS!Both my client and myself stopped in after seeing the house. She snagged some orzo salad and I snagged so many desserts:) All very yummy!Chess cake/chess bars are my all time favorite dessert. They have chess bars and you can also buy chess bar edges. SO GOOD! I snacked on the chess bar edges as soon as I got back in my car.This is a great location for a place like this! For me, I use (the original) Goodness to Go for marketing/catering. But, this one in the Choto area is such a good little sweet treat stop for all who live / work out this way.There are more things I want to try for sure. But, I had to pace myself. If you're a sweets lover- this is for you!”
“This was my first visit at Harvest. The server was wonderful- attentive but not intrusive, the food was delicious, and I loved the mocktail menu. Even though it was busy when we arrived, the tables and booths are spaced in a way that we didn't feel crowded.”
“Excellent food and service. I had Veggie burger with fig jam, no bread and the home fries. Skip the home fries. They weren't great. However, we shared the Brussels sprouts and roasted beet salad which were both fabulous.”
“I enjoy going to Whole Foods. Great selection of healthier food choices. I can pick up a fresh slice of pizza, some sushi, and a sandwich. Good selection on the hot bar and salad bar. I'm not a fan of Jeff Bezos, but it's a good place to shop.”
“We attended with a wine dinner group so had specific menu. It was delicious. Can't rate their regular menu items but will return to try something off that menu .”
“Lyuda is the best! She's always right on time, very friendly and knowledgeable. We sit at the bar frequently and always have a great time. Food, drinks, are always great.”
“Just out in Knoxville so it's lunchtime and was in the mood for some Mexican food. Tennessee so far had not impressed me with some really great Mexican food. Decided to try this place out. Read in the reviews that it was still new so figured... what the heck. I ordered the Quesabirria tacos and my girl had the ACP. Food was exceptionally delicious and quite a nice serving. The vibe of the place reminds me of being on vacation. You must try this place out. When I return to Knoxville I will be back to eat at this place. Staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and item. You cannot go wrong here.”
“Food and waiter were amazing! Food was fresh and delicious. Waiter was the best ! Only thing I would suggest is don’t eat upstairs. It was small and it wasn’t a great setting. It could just be us and our preference. It definitely wasn’t like the downstairs. I hate to even mention it but when you are spending that kind of money I would prefer a nicer setting. Either way we will be back but not upstairs.”
“I love this place! I have been going here for a while and it is a wonderful place, especially on the weekends. I wish they had Hexagon’s White Chocolate Buddha and Chocolate Baby Jesus on tap. The jam nights are fun!”
“First time coming here, the greetings when you walk in were very welcoming, the waitress was very helpful and brought out everything in a timely manner, the food was fresh and delicious, highly recommend Sullivan's ?Vegetarian options: Fresh”

“First visit last night.Great little bar that has an incredible back yard with a tiki bar and stage with a projector screen.Sat by the fire and watched the UT game.Chatted with the owner for a good while. Great guy, Military Vet?Had such a great time. Everyone was super friendly.Will be back many times”
“My family and I have been here a few times and really love their food . We went last night for my daughters birthday and had a really wonderful dinner and the service was so wonderful I wanted to write a review to express my appreciation. I can not remember our waitresses name! She said she is newer to the establishment- I feel terrible for forgetting but she was very attentive and friendly and helpful but not hovering. Our food came out hot and delicious in good timing and it really added to the enjoyment of our celebration. We’ll definitely return.”
“Great service, steak needed a few more minutes on the grill and they took care of it and gave me fresh sides. Thank you!Ordered the ribeye with loaded mashed potatoes and asparagus.”
“I've been here a few times in the food was great we'll this last time we came everything came out looked great I was so hungry didn't take a picture. But make short my sweet potato was great on point but chicken tender rolled in salt. The manger there was very nice about it and she tasted a shrimp that was the same way. She asked if I wanted anything else. But I didn't so she just refund for the tender.”

“Wonderful venue, so enjoyed our dinner. Service was excellent, and the atmosphere was delightful. Our server made a wonderful recommendation on a bottle of wine. Wonderful evening, and we will return to dine again.”
“Good typical American Mexican food. Good service. Best part is the price - you're not getting price gouged here.Parking: Lot around the building. Can typically find a spot.”
“Brewery was a little outbid the way of everything. Friendly bar tender and the beer was great. The atmosphere was a little weird. Lots of games and dart boards. Kind of felt like they may have dart leagues. They have outside seating and it is dog friendly outside.They have food as well.Lots of free parking in parking lot.”
“A quick stop at their food truck right off of merchants is always a good call! Great food, quick service, and people who know how to make great Mexican food! It smells so good I started to eat before I thought to take a picture for review! Lol!”
“Phenomenal outdoor area unlike anything you’ll see for sports showings, events, and weekend entertainment! Great place to stop for a beer, or spend the day. Overflow parking available on the opposite side of the building.”
“We come here all the time and it’s only fair we offer a review for those who are not sure if this Outback Steakhouse is a good place to eat.We really enjoy the customer service and atmosphere and they cook a great sirloin. Burgers aren’t bad either.Big shout out to Tedra. She really is a great server and would ask for her when coming back.”
“New owners that truly care about their customers! The previous owners are out and a 100% local UT Alumni family now has the reins! Stop in for a friendly craft beer experience.”
“Best craft brewery in Knoxville. Great variety and excellent examples of the styles offered. People here are awesome. Secondary to be sure, but best views of any brewery in Knoxville also!”
“We ordered a Philadelphia Roll, Caterpillar Roll and fish tacos. These came with Miso Soup and Garden Salad. These rolls are less expensive than other rolls but to look at them, one would think that these were of the more expensive type of roll. They were as Delicious as they look. The fish tacos which were also beautiful to look at were very Tasty! The soup and salad were so fresh and good. Portion-wise, servings were generous and although we could have had to go boxes, we ate it all, right there. Jillian was our server and she was so efficient and so funny that we felt like we had found a new best friend! Service was the best and we hope you will go and discover this Wonderful restaurant.”
“All of the food I ordered was fantastic with a great mild smoked taste and the sides are hard made in house .I tried the sampler plate and I recommend trying it if you're not sure on what you like from here but you won't be disappointed on what ever it is you want to eat from Sweet P's .I very highly recommend trying here !”
“We only had drinks so I am reluctant to go above 4 stars. The place was packed (UT graduation weekend) but service was still on it. We will go back for dinner. I will update my review at that time.”
“This place is pretty hype. The cook josh is very nice and respectful had my food out in no time. The bartender Morgan was the life of the party very fast and making rounds with the other customers ! I will be back anytime those two are working!!! This place is so chill!Parking: Plenty places to park”

Cappuccino's
“Lived in Knoxville my whole life and never tried Cappuccino's. My wife and I went at Christmas and then again recently. We have really enjoyed our meals and had great service both times! Would recommend for a date night!”
“Awesome food, was looking for an alternative to Hibachi Factory, they keep raising prices and it cost a fortune, the portions here are bigger and the meals are cheaper! Highly recommend 10/10”
“Rocky Top Nutrition is truly an amazing cafe for the perfect healthy smoothie.My two son's loves the special nutritional menu, that Rocky Top Nutrition has for each customer.”
“Great music and good food the drinks were average for a hotel bar. Also, they did not have enough help for New Year's weekend, so it was pretty slow service and the bartender was ”

Clean Juice
“This is the healthiest juice place in town, they use real ingredients and they are fresh. I’ve been going here for many years and I enjoy it very much.. my only complaint is their juicer I think is on its last leg, recently every time I go my drink has A LOT of pulp. They normally strain it through a strainer, so just make sure they do that.”
“I adore this place and the owner Simon! He's so knowledgeable about liquors, craft beers and pretty much all aspects of life :) Such an intriguing and helpful guy. Love the atmosphere, and I even practiced the piano there once (terribly) and he didn't flinch. There was a band that played a week ago and they were talent. I mean pure talent and vibe. Love all about this place!”
Latest Reviews
“We had a great curbside meal that was brought home on a holiday. My husband picked it up and had arrived early. He went in to use their facilities and saw our order just waiting for the person to bring it out. He verified and it was carried out by him. There was a tip on this purchase and they put in everything we needed and servings were large enough for a second meal. Great meal overall-try that Coca Cola chocolate cake!”
“It's fast food so it's a five star for what it is but I can't ask for it to be any better! Food was hot, fries were crispy, took less than 4 minutes from order to getting the first bite and the service level was great. I'll definitely be back to this location.”
“This is a local "you have to know the drill" kind of place. Walk up, order, grab your beverage, have a seat and they'll bring it to you. We had the Philly, which was good, not great. The okra was good, the fries were okay. I've had a burger at their other location and it was pretty good.”
“We were pleased to find that the food, drinks, and service of Don Gallo's was as it used to be when it first opened in Hardin Valley. We'd had some rather disappointing drinks and meals on several occasions from 2019 to 2022, so we stopped eating there. Gave it another try for dinner and we were very pleased with everything. We will return.”
“Went on a weeknight 30 minutes before closing. We were warmly greeted. We had hoped to dine in but apparently it's takeout only. Which is a bummer. Double-sided paper menus on the counter. After she took her order we only had a few minutes wait until the food was ready. Super quick! The place is a bit auster, but the tables and chairs are just for waiting on your order. However food and service were both excellent. We ordered sweet and sour chicken pork fried rice and some fried dumplings. All the food was hot. Well seasoned. Delicious. The chicken was white meat and was crispy. The sauce served on the side so the chicken stayed crispy. It came with a side of white rice. Portions were big enough for my wife and I to share. Prices pretty reasonable. We will definitely come again. Both cash and credit card are accepted.”
“If you are visiting or live near by this is the place to go! My friend and I stumbled upon this gem and was not disappointed! All of the staff including Mel and Virgil were superb! We were shown a great Tennessee time from these two! We went 4 times in 1 week and was able to attend New Years Eve there. They know how to throw it down and show visitors an amazing time. Daniel’s will always have my 5 star review!”
“Great food and wonderful service! Everyone works as a team to help the customers. I highly recommend this restaurant!!Parking: Good parking, easy access to parking lot and restaurant”
“The staff at the club is always very friendly and the girls are amazing! Vivian, Serenity, and Natasha are just a few of the girls who will help you have a great time!”
“By far the best girls in Knox. Lexus, and Simone were all sexy as hell. Go see these girls for a good time, my wife and I have been to plenty of clubs in Vegas, Miami and Nashville but we were very impressed with the girls at the Emerald. BYOB so make sure you stop before you come in. We had to leave to go buy alcohol, but were able to come back in at no additional cost.”
“The selection is great & the food is really goodVegetarian options: Lots of veggies cooked & raw/salad barKid-friendliness: Always children there with familyWheelchair accessibility: One level”
“Everything was absolutely fresh. Not one wilted corner, not 1 piece of veg. That wasn't crispy where the consistency of fresh Gabriel gabriel was fantastic, cordial, knowledgeable clean. It was only by accident that I discovered This place amongst hundreds of other tiny little places. Telegraph, for grubhub, I'm in there just very impressed without cleaning immediately. Dreimmediately drew my eyes over to the salad bar which they make the food. And I instantly wanted to try so you're absolutely fantastic .... I just want to say thanks again to the staff over there, Gabriel The place was really clean, which is so important when you're dealing with seafood. Produce.... And the public in and out the floors were clean counters were clean.... And again the food was absolutely top notch”
“I use the drive through service at the Halls location and this store has always had good service, hot fresh food, prepared in a timely manner and always exactly as ordered. Considering this is not always the case with the restaurants in Halls is nice to know that Popeyes has continued to keep a level of excellence in food service after the new wore off. My family appreciates you and values your employees and their dedication. Thank you. Dinner was great again. 12/08/23.”
“Went with a friend today. Been a while since I’d been and thought I’d give it a second try.I got the AM burger with fried okra and sweet tea. I liked the tea. Not too sweet. And the okra and burger were pretty ok but the patty and the okra seemed like they might have been frozen and not fresh. The food wasn’t bad but my meal being over $20 just doesn’t encourage me to return.Parking: Small parking lot that I had a hard time pulling out of even with my small car. Mostly due to being surrounded by larger vehicles.”
“I've been a Sam and Andy's gal since I was young. It's the first stop we go to coming into town and the last stop we go to when leaving! I'd really love a tshirt though!”
“First time here, we had the chicken empanadas, the ChamaCheese and pabellón arepas. Everything was fantastic, flavorful, and worthy of your calories. A Knoxville hidden gem on Kingston, near the TJ Maxx/ Home Goods mall. Look for the yellow food truck. We will be back!”

“It was my first time at Tupelo, and I had the Sweet & Spicy Chicken Waffles. WOW! the chicken was perfectly battered, cooked, and spiced. It wasn't too hot or too sweet. For me, there was plenty of food on the plate, and I ended up taking half home. I think an over easy egg on top of these chicken and waffles would have been amazing. I highly recommend Tupelo Honey!”
“Brooke did an amazing job. Got us taken care of in a timely manner and made sure everything was perfect. We had a great time . I'll definitely be asking for her next time we visit 10/10 they should definitely pay her more.”

“Linda our server was awesome. We had 12 people at two different tables. She took care of all of us.The food was ok. Mediocre at best. No flavor. steak tips were over cooked basically chewy and tough. Def won’t get those with my breakfast again.Billy at the Host stand was awesome and took care of all of us and made us feel very welcome. The lady with him not as much but was still friendly.”
“It's our go to restaurant downtown. Food is consistently good and the restaurant is very inviting. Service always top notch. Husband loves that French onion soup is a staple on your menu. Could you put beef stroganoff on your menu?”
“We had a great curbside meal that was brought home on a holiday. My husband picked it up and had arrived early. He went in to use their facilities and saw our order just waiting for the person to bring it out. He verified and it was carried out by him. There was a tip on this purchase and they put in everything we needed and servings were large enough for a second meal. Great meal overall-try that Coca Cola chocolate cake!”
“This place outstanding . From the outside it looks small but it’s def not . If you’re going make a reservation . Worth the wait if you don’t have one . They got a full service bar with some great cocktails . Food was great !!”
“Great clean place. Food is delicious but more Americanized - less authentic but still good ! I've come back 3 times for the same thing ! Lost one star for ingredients not being evenly spread this time and way too many jalapenos. So hot I couldn't taste the other ingredients.”
“I was waiting to be seated there were no hostess there we stood so long to be seated that I hosted myself and my mom my mom's sugar drop she was about to pass out so I took her to the closet table sit her down grab a waitress and told her a sweet tea ASAP she brought back a sweet tea she was nice but she wasn't the waitress I ended up with but the food was great timing to sit down was horrible”
“We've seen the sign from the interstate and also seen it passing by on Kingston Pike. Today is my wife's birthday and we decided on a late lunch at Jaboni's. The fries pickles were outstanding, the Pizza was absolutely the best we've had anywhere around Knoxville. The first were fresh and crisp and tasted great! I had the Lasagna and met me tell you it was the best authentic lasagna I've had in years. I downed 2 margaritas which were outstanding! The atmosphere was comfortable, trendy and quiet enough to talk with my beautiful wife. The service was excellent and friendly. The prices are on par with any place offering a great value for high quality food. It's a clean and classy place to get your food any time of the day. We highly recommend it and we are not easy to please. You'll dig it!”
“Strawberry Plains can get super busy. Food is always good. Love the waitstaff, the hostess, and the cashiers. Sometimes we dine in, and sometimes we do takeout. Of course, the Coca-Cola cake is the favorite dessert.”
“I have been seeing lots of adds on Facebook for this pizzeria. I finally decided to order a pizza to my office for delivery. Normally, I do not like to order pizza for delivery because the time the pizza gets to me, it is soggy and taste like it has been sitting around too long. This pizza was one of the best pizzas I have ordered since moving to Knoxville. I ordered the margherita pizza with extra veggies and it was delicious. My co-workers could not believe how fresh the pizza was and the crust was so light and yummy. I would order from this restaurant again and I cannot wait to go into the restaurant and see what else they offer.”
“Flank steak and white cheddar mashed potatoes was fantastic. House salad was huge. Service was excellent. And the pricing was more than fair for the quality dish and portions. Look forward to visiting again”

“The Revolution Burger was great but, suggest getting the double to make it look like the picture. The price for a single for all the different burgers are $6.99 great pricing for the amount of the burger.”
“Wow! I just ate here for the first time. It definitely won't be my last. I admit that I am a BBQ snob, believing that if the meat is moist and flavorful enough, it shouldn't need to be soaked in sauce. I ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich on brioche. It was amazing. I added Cole slaw and didn't need sauce at all. The service is top notch and the space is fun and inviting.”
“Just out in Knoxville so it's lunchtime and was in the mood for some Mexican food. Tennessee so far had not impressed me with some really great Mexican food. Decided to try this place out. Read in the reviews that it was still new so figured... what the heck. I ordered the Quesabirria tacos and my girl had the ACP. Food was exceptionally delicious and quite a nice serving. The vibe of the place reminds me of being on vacation. You must try this place out. When I return to Knoxville I will be back to eat at this place. Staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and item. You cannot go wrong here.”
