Restaurants in Knoxville

“I’ve eaten at JC Holdway many of times over the last 4 years with my last visit being earlier this week. The food has always been delicious but this last visit exceeded expectations. We were so excited to eat we didn’t even get pictures of our food.
Of course the food was fresh and local but all elements of every dish we ate were executed at such high levels it blew my wife and I away. From creativity in plating to salt levels and acidity. Our dinner was phenomenal. Thank you to Chef Lenn and the whole team in the kitchen and at front of house.

What we ate:
Smoked fish dip (ask for extra chips if you run out before your dip is gone)
Pork belly biscuits (must order)

Grilled shrimp (my favorite)
Carrots (could have eaten 2 orders of this)

Chicken (stole the show)
Pork chop (amazing flavor)

PB&J tarte (fun eating)”

“My boyfriend and I celebrated our one year anniversary here and had the most lovely experience!
Kyleigh was our waiter and was so celebratory and kind. She was so kind to take our picture upon request and brought us a slice of cake to celebrate!! Thank you Kyleigh! :)”

“Hayden was our server and he was so friendly and got the the entire order correct! We had a party of 18+ ladies Highly recommended !”

“If you love biscuits and sausage gravy this is the place for you. Delicious!”

“BEST food, BEST coffee, BEST service, BEST atmosphere!”

“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”

“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.”

“Great Service, I believe our server was new and she was a delight. I was there around 1pm and had the oyster dozen. also a gin bloody Mary. My Sweetheart companions had the chorizo tacos and another the grouper. I appreciated the interior, a great swanky decor and comfortable booth. I am an oyster lover.”

“Love it! great atmosphere, drinks & food. 10/10!”

“Great Service! Our server Kathleen was awesome-highly recommend”

“Fantastic experience! I highly recommend stopping here. Very friendly staff who made us feel right at home and while we were there!”

“I’ve been eating at this restaurant since my UT days(about 10 years ago! 😭🙂‍↕️😅) and it’s STILL delicious!!! Being from Queens, NYC, this is the only place in Tennessee I trust to make a Reuben that reminds me of home. The staff is so incredibly friendly and have remained that way since the 1st time I came in, 10 years ago! EVERYTIME you drive down Sutherland Ave, ask yourself “why haven’t I eaten here yet?!” Then just do it!! It’s worth it!!”

“A lot of fun! Attentive staff and good food. We loved the themed drinks and the pretzel bites with queso were great. The tokens are slightly less than average in terms of cost; we played 7 games for $5 in tokens, which is way better than places like Dave and Buster's.”

“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.”

“Best breakfast, friendly staff!!”

“Outstanding from beginning to end!! Highly recommend! Appearance, Food, and service all AMAZING!! Highly recommend!!!”

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

“Very good service, friendly n great chicken”

“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.”

“We were not able to book a reservation because we were looking for a dinner spot last minute. So we came early at 4:30pm and they were able to accommodate us. And WOW! Delicious drinks, great atmosphere and DELICIOUS FOOD! Would definitely come back to this restaurant next time I am in Knoxville!”

“We went here for our annual office Christmas dinner. The food was incredible- but the service was TOP NOTCH. All the servers were great but our main server Grace was knowledgeable as most of us had never been there before, our guys can get obnoxious and she handled them great and she was on top of everything. We didn’t feel rushed or like we were waiting for anything even though we spent over four hours enjoying our experience. 5 out of 5 stars would def recommend and am going to personally bring family back for celebrations. Great times were had by us all.”

“From the moment we sat down, the service made the night feel special. Every member of the team was attentive, welcoming, and genuinely committed to making our experience exceptional. The food was out of this world — the steak was cooked perfectly, full of flavor, and incredibly tender. The chicken and dumplings were comfort at its finest, rich, hearty, and absolutely unforgettable. And the drinks… each one tasted like a little sip of heaven, balanced, refreshing, and crafted with real care. An all‑around fantastic dinner with incredible service, phenomenal dishes, and drinks that left us smiling. We’ll definitely be back.”

“Absolutely delicious! We didn’t have one thing we didn’t thoroughly enjoy. I will be dreaming about those Brussel sprouts for days! Very very delicious food, the atmosphere is very inviting and cozy. Big plus that it was an LGBT friendly environment! ❤️”

“We had such an amazing experience at Fiori! I hosted a dinner for a group of 26 women, and from start to finish, everything was wonderful. The service was impeccable, the restaurant was beautiful, and having the patio to ourselves made the evening feel so special.

Everyone absolutely loved the food — genuinely, not a single person in our group had anything negative to say. The entire night, I kept hearing how delicious everyone’s meals were and how much they were enjoying the experience.

The staff made our group feel incredibly welcome and taken care of, and we couldn’t have asked for a better evening. We will absolutely be back. Highly recommend Fiori! 🤍”

“First time going and I loved the scallop appetizer and the pork belly! I wanted the lamb and need to go back just for the lamb since they were out. I had the elk chops and they were good! I mainly ordered it for my husband since he couldn't decide between the two dishes and he enjoyed both! Im not a big meat eater but i did love the carrots and scallop potatoes! The service wasnt the best but wasnt the worse. He forgot to give my husbands friend his debit card back and forgot to add lemon to my water and give us utensils..so a little off. They were full but not crowded. Noisy but we can still hear ourselves talk. A little stuffy as the ventilation could have been better but overall I want to go back! Definitely to try the lamb!”

“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.”

“Such a cute little place i recommend it for all cat lovers! 🐱💗”

“Our daughters organized a wonderful milestone birthday celebration for us at Ruth’s Chris in one of the private dining rooms, which included access to an inviting private outdoor patio.

The most appreciated complement to our celebration was the excellent service provided by our congenial hostess, Leah. She was gracious, attentive, and incredibly accommodating, with an attitude that made it clear she wanted to ensure our evening was truly special.

Thank you, Leah, for helping make our milestone birthday celebration one we will always remember. When you go, ask for Leah—you will be in wonderful hands!”

“😅Outstanding food, reasonable prices and friendly atmosphere.”

“Last night we decided to give Lilou Brasserie a try, and I’m so glad we did. From the moment we sat down, the experience was wonderful. The warm baguette was perfect, the cheeses were flavorful and thoughtfully selected, and the main dishes were absolute perfection. And the crème brûlée was hands down my favorite and easily one of the best I’ve had. We will definitely be back, and honestly, we’re a little sad we didn’t stop by sooner. If you’re looking for incredible French cuisine in Knoxville, I highly recommend Lilou Brasserie.”

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

“Amanda is the best server there, she brings such a good vibe to a normal Waffle House experience. Also what a confident lady! She likes the cheeseburger I like the waffle”

“Great food, great staff! Thank you all”

“Great place for breakfast, fast, good and reasonably priced. I go there once or twice a week”

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

“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”

“Squeaky Clean! Go see em!”

“I love this restaurant they have delicious food”

“It my favorite gas station closest to My house! They're usually pretty busy but my wait is never longer than 5-10 ?minutes and everyone is always so nice and respectful!!”

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

“The lady at the Casey's off of gallaher in waterbridge the lady that works there is very sweet she always lets me get us some ice for my cooler so I don't have to pay $4 for a 7 lb bag of ice that melts within three hours out in this heat she really helps me and my crew out we only get paid biweekly and I also have stage 4 breast cancer with metastatic disease so I miss a lot of work she is a blessing now remember I only ask 1 time a week and if it's my pay week I buy it, yeah she is such a blessing to my crew without her help we would have to drink hot water all day long thank you for hiring such a sweet and caring people at your stores”

“Great selection of snacks and drinks, always had nice and quick employees. The rewards program is worth it. Love that Casey's makes there own line of snacks and candy, I can find some things here that I can't other places. Their cold coffee is pretty good, salted caramel is my favorite but I like all of them.”

“My visits to this station since it opened and was renamed have been positive. In recent visits in the evening I have been waited on by Erica. Well tonight the receipt on my pump was again not working I went inside and asked for a receipt and she politely provided one to me. Apparently they're going to do a remodel on this station and it will be closed for a while and that will be sad since I've had good experiences lately. One other station on Chapman highway I've mostly experienced people who didn't value friendliness and building relationships as we all know that's good for business. A recent visit to the Chapman store the lady was not friendly at all and said the only way I could join Casey's rewards was by downloading the app on my phone. At first I thought that was a terrible way to run a company but when I verified the validity of that lady statement, Erica told me that wasn't true and provided some help on me registering through the website. That way I can come in and provide my phone number when I'm buying gas or products and get the rewards or the reward points. I can't believe what a night and day experience it was from the lady at the others Casey's store to the good store on middlebrook Pike. I hope they get the remodel done quick and I hope I get to see the smiling, helpful, kind presentation of the cashier Erica. I definitely felt valued as a customer and as a person during this visit and was able to converse a little bit more as no customers were waiting. Please come in and visit this station if you're reading this review.”

“Actually a nice convenience store and gas station,,, there food is great, and the staff was very nice, getting into the pumps little hairy, but I will be going back, if nothing else the food ( get the pizza)”

“The pizza is good here. I was pleased to see Casey's pizza was introduced to the South. It's the best tasting pizza on the planet! Their service is wonderful and they made sure my party was the right person picking up my order after ordering online with instructions. Thank you for doing a good job!”

“Christian was absolutely phenomenal at the Clinton Hwy. location! He was so courteous, so kind, and provided excellent customer service with a very compassionate heart and a kind spirit. May the Lord bless him and keep him. He is such a treasure to have on staff & was so kind to me & my family.”

“They created my 31st birthday cake and it was absolutely amazing! Not only did it look beautiful, but it was also incredibly delicious. I can be pretty picky about flavor and texture, but they completely nailed it. I recently moved to Knoxville and was hoping to find a bakery that I could truly love and keep coming back to, and this experience made that happen. The whole process from ordering the cake to picking it up and finally tasting it was smooth and wonderful. My whole family loved it, I will definitely be ordering future cakes from them!”

“The best Asian restaurant in Knoxville!! Everyone is so friendly and the food is amazing”

“Stopped by on a Monday afternoon and was met with a nice calm, clean environment. Excellent music, and even better bartender! Kelly was amazing, couldn't believe they actually had my favorite cider (Queen os Swords Srrawberry Shortcake) on draft. Highly recommend the smoked turkey BLT as well.”

“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!!”

“I do recommend Cava and was only given the option to recommend or not recommend. BUT it would be helpful if they would post updated hours when closing early (which I have ran into on multiple occasions) to their website or social media platforms. There have also been occasions where they stopped online orders early and were out of ingredients when we went in store close to closing. But overall I do love having food from here. It is delicious and easy to pick up even until the 9 o’clock hour- usually.”

“Greated and treated as friends, first time we have been to Little Nickys. Chef Scott was great. Chris and Suzy Biecker Sharp Funeral Home”

“I was craving some good chicken tenders and coleslaw. I remembered seeing this place and wanted to try it out. 10/10 in my opinion. The chicken tenders are so tasty and the sauces are all great. We tried bbq sauce, honey mustard and ranch. We also had the fries which were amazing! We will definitely be back to try other things on the menu and to try some of the custard. The price for 7 tenders, regular fry, coleslaw and 2 extra sauces came out to a little over 20 bucks.”

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

“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”

“They had a special yesterday and because of a family emergency.I could not make it to the store to pick up my order.They allowed me to still pick it up today.They were very friendly and very nice about it.”

“One of my favorite places to eat anytime I am in Knoxville. Great vibes, food and drinks not to mention the best is Kayla. Always so polite, kind, attentive with an up beat attitude and smile on her face. Such a joy. But please bring back Tuscan Chicken 😀”

“Eddie was amazing, I got to try a slice and in definitely coming back. The pizza is fresh and the crust is thin and crispy. Really good amount of sauce too. My experience has been a pleasure.”

“First time here and food was amazing. My husband got the 2 piece chicken with slaw and beans. I got an appetizer the pickle spears 🩷 and snack plate. Highly recommend! Only complaint was cashier on her phone and FaceTiming someone. Loudly. Even while cashing out my check.. never spoke to me.. just felt unprofessional.. but thank goodness the food made up for everything else🩷”

“stopped in for a quick snack while getting tires changed and oh man. I had a gyro with a baklava, first bite had me hooked. hands down some of the best flavor in blount county. The gyro had me stuffed, but that first bite of baklava 🤤 so light, and crispy the perfect dessert to compliment the flavor profile. going to make this a regular stop.”

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

“Great burgers, awesome service, and good prices.”

“Great Food, great workers, friendly and fast too”

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

“I bought a cake pop at the Women's Council (real estate) Fashion Show. It was really yummy! 🙂Pricing was great. Wish I could have bought more, but I needed to have a little self control! lol”

“This is my wife and I’s favorite cocktail place. Always on the list of places we NEED to go to each time we visit Knoxville. Always a fun and inviting place environment.”

“Worth the visit. I got a cookie dough-sweet cream twist dipped in chocolate. They also let you sample their chocolate milk.

Be ready to wait if you visit in the evening. The line was out the door when we arrived, and it probably took us about 20 minutes to place our order and another 5-10 to get it. For how busy they are, all the employees were very friendly”

“Excellent food excellent service as always”

“Can't believe I haven't been here before! Food was great and employees were so friendly. Hamburgers are huge and hotdogs were top notch. Hand scooped Mayfield ice cream was also yummy! We will be back.”

“I seen a tik tok video to try this hole in the wall... Let me just say IT WAS SOOO GOOD and I will definitely be back soon.”

“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 is my first time dining at Aladdin‘s. And I will say I was not disappointed. The food is excellent here the gentleman that prepared it in the kitchen was amazing. He was a delight to talk to. The restaurant was extremely clean and I will go back again. The pita sandwich was so good. It was the best ever I’ve ever had. This is a delightful place to have any kind of a meal at take a moment of your life and stop by you won’t be disappointed.”

“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.”

“We went here for the first time today. What a great restaurant. Food was fabulous and the service was outstanding. Will definitely be back soon.”

“The ORIGINAL!!! Character, great food, ALWAYS great!!!”

“Everything they did for my daughter baby shower was wonderful. The cake, cookies and cake pops were delicious and exactly what we wanted. I give Marble City Sweets 💯. They will be my go to for all my bakery needs.”

“Brittany has done many cakes for our family. Graduation, birthdays and baby shower cakes. Not only does her cakes look amazing but they taste phenomenal! She is so artistic and does exactly what we ask for and more.”

“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!!!!”

“My wife and I stopped in for a Valentines Day weekend dinner and were plesently blown away. The Appetizer, Salad, Steak, Stuffed Lobster, Sea Bass and desert were all some of the best we can recall. Our server was pleasant, answered all our many questions and our food came out quickly even tho the restaurant was very busy. We can’t wait to go back and try some of the other items on the menu! 🤩”

“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!”

“This is not a coffee spot but an actual factory for the company. Great mountain coffee. It is a facility that they process coffee for keurigs all over the world. It smells delicious though when you walk in if you're a coffee connoisseur I'm not sure if they can give a tour, but certainly call and email and there might be a possibility. Smells wonderful!”

“beautiful coffee studio and calming ambiance - a great coffee experience!”

“WOW! What a gem Caza Brava Mexican Restaurant is! My friend Jason was craving Mexican food to celebrate his birthday. I just googled nearest restaurant to us and this came up first. So glad we decided to give it a try! From the moment Xavier graciously and enthusiastically greeted us at the door, we had the most scrumptious meal served by our most attentive waitress, Mary Bell. What a lovely person and hard worker! Oh, right! You want to know about the food! Fantastic! Jason had nachos and I was torn between a shrimp dish and their vegetarian dish which had more and varied vegetables than you see on most Mexican restaurant menus. I asked Xavier if he could add shrimp, and he came up with a solution immediately, which turned out to be SO FLAVORFUL And the presentation was truly beautiful! I never take pictures of my food at restaurants, but last night I did! And I’ve never written a review of a restaurant, not ANY restaurant…ever. Xavier and the rest of the staff, the quality of the service, and the tastiness of the food deserves five stars plus plus plus! I’ll be bringing more of my friends here!”

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

“This place is the real deal. You want a great burger, this is the place! This is my new go to. TK (the owner) told us the seasoning is his mommas, what could be better-nothing!”

“You’ve got to go check out Jacob's Deli & Grill if you’ve never been there! Saw them featured in Knox TN Today recently and took the wife for lunch today. Amazing food, great atmosphere, fair prices, and even better staff and owners! Support our local small businesses and check them 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!! 😜”

“I think this is the cleanest, healthiest place in Knoxville! Great smoothies with clean ingredients. Great atmosphere, and I'll be back every time I travel to Knoxville.”

“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!”

“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!”

“super good food and even better customer service”

“The jolly rancher jerk chicken wings are out of this world 💕💕💕 amazing customer service and I will be back!!”

“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!”

“If you’re looking for FLAVOR, this is your place! Our family of 4 just had dinner here and our 1 year old and 3 year old LOVED their dinner just as much as we did. We got the platter that had a little bit of everything and it was perfect to share. The meats were all cooked to perfection and the sauces tasted phenomenal. The employees were very friendly! We will definitely be back. Thank you for a very tasty dinner for the whole family!”

“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!”

“Best place ever. So much fun on weekends. Peyton is awesome. Vols are awesome. Everyone is friendly. No stuck up girls.”

“Great place for breakfast, fast, good and reasonably priced. I go there once or twice a week”

“I am tell they use the same fryer for all foods , , cause the fries are not as good”

“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.”

“My favorite place to get donuts and breakfast sandwiches!”

“Mackenzie and Nathan was awesome. I had the cheese steak. Best cheese steak in knox. My wife had the grown up grilled cheese. She loved it. Nathan gave us samples of his broccoli cheddar soup. delicious. He is working on a new lunch menu. Get in there play some pool, have some drinks and try the food. You wont regret it. if your doing laundry next door. Perfect spot to wait. Highly recommend. Will he back!”

“It’s been awhile since I ate there, I moved! But I can tell you this even after years of being away the food here I have not forgotten! Can’t wait until I retire and can come back!”

“Best Korean menu outside Seoul. We are regulars on the Friday lunch special. Can't find the words to express my enjoyment at dining there.”

“Prices are great, food is fantastic and service was incredible!!! Our new favorite place to eat!!!!”

“If you love biscuits and sausage gravy this is the place for you. Delicious!”

“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”

“Taj has wonderful food, and lots of vegetarian options. Everything is very flavorful, and the naan is a special favorite. We tried the spinach soup and will definitely order it again! Our GoTos are Lamb Rogan Josh, Cashew Curry, Saag Paneer.”

“Freshest pizza I have ever eaten! The pizza was made and baked right in front of me by friendly staff in under 15 minutes. They use a neat wood fired oven. I would recommend giving this place a shot!”

“We went 7/4/26 at 4pm. Had Famous Daves been open we would have eaten there. Jim's was okay but the spareribs were overdone and salty. They only come one way. We will not be going back. Too bad.”

“Food was very good nice view on the river. And close to VOLS campus. Great atmosphere.”

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

“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!”

“One of my favorite places to eat anytime I am in Knoxville. Great vibes, food and drinks not to mention the best is Kayla. Always so polite, kind, attentive with an up beat attitude and smile on her face. Such a joy. But please bring back Tuscan Chicken 😀”

“First time here and food was amazing. My husband got the 2 piece chicken with slaw and beans. I got an appetizer the pickle spears 🩷 and snack plate. Highly recommend! Only complaint was cashier on her phone and FaceTiming someone. Loudly. Even while cashing out my check.. never spoke to me.. just felt unprofessional.. but thank goodness the food made up for everything else🩷”

“Very good service, friendly n great chicken”

“Stopped by on a Monday afternoon and was met with a nice calm, clean environment. Excellent music, and even better bartender! Kelly was amazing, couldn't believe they actually had my favorite cider (Queen os Swords Srrawberry Shortcake) on draft. Highly recommend the smoked turkey BLT as well.”

“very nice place to eat. My husband ordered grilled catfish didn't like the fish but loved the veggies. I always have a vegetable plate and it is delicious.”

“Great service, hot food, friendly staff”

“Because of diabetes, I eat biscuits only after I have bloodwork done. I usually choose Cracker Barrel. The meal was as I ordered. The fried chicken breast was perfection. Biscuits were good, but could have been warmer. My only complaint is eggs were not seasoned at all and I would have to pay $1.50 to get cheese sprinkled on them. Our waitress was very nice and did what we asked of her extra.”

“Baked potatoes keep getting smaller and smaller. Got an order to go today and had to cook another potato at home to have one normal baked potato. Love your steaks, but you need to get bigger baked potatoes to keep me coming back.”

“The pizza is consistently delicious. I prefer thin crust so it’s my favorite…… but the salads with shaved Parmesan, Bweries and all the pizza fixin’s….. omg!”

“Best breakfast, friendly staff!!”

“Christian was absolutely phenomenal at the Clinton Hwy. location! He was so courteous, so kind, and provided excellent customer service with a very compassionate heart and a kind spirit. May the Lord bless him and keep him. He is such a treasure to have on staff & was so kind to me & my family.”

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

“We were made to feel welcome every time we went. Service and food were excellent. Metro was recommended to us by friends and they were not wrong. I would recommend this place with no hesitation.”

“Tim and the other girl working up front on Sept 17 were such a pleasure! Best Jersey Mikes location in Knox! I drive out of my way to come here for their kindness, speed, and wonderful sandwiches!”

“I went Sunday with my wife,son and our friends. The food was amazing and the staff was great.We will be back!”

“The service was prompt and friendly, the portions (I ordered a bowl) were generous, but to me the tastes were bland. Having eaten at many Mediterranean restaurants elsewhere, I expected something a bit more lively, but this wasn't it. I suspect the liveliness has been tuned down to accommodate Knoxville taste buds - I've noticed Knoxville versions of almost everything other than a hamburger are generally blander than the same version elsewhere. The restaurant was clean and tidy, but spare.”

“We went 7/4/26 at 4pm. Had Famous Daves been open we would have eaten there. Jim's was okay but the spareribs were overdone and salty. They only come one way. We will not be going back. Too bad.”

“The coffee is amazing!! Nice clean shop and the owner is friendly!! Definitely recommend trying this place to anyone in the area!!”

“I drive 20 minutes from home to get coffee here… I really love this place. It’s hard to find a coffee shop that has a good set up for people to prop up their laptops and get some emails out. The seating is really comfortable and spacious. Let’s not forget about the coffee. This place has three kinds of light roast coffees. My caffeine obsessed self is in awe.”

“Fantastic food & ambiance every time.”

“What a great place to grab a bite and relax with amazing company! : )”

“Only been there twice, yet each visit was exceptional in all areas of review! Indoor and outdoor seating, super friendly and attentive staff…then there’s the FOOD!!!!!! Enough said ♥♥♥”

“Great atmosphere great service”

“Great coffee. Barista's who care about their craft. Not the most comfortable seats for working though ..

Just left there. Great service and great iced coffee”

“I am writing this review from the bar top and in a place of food ecstasy. I am having the crispy mushroom rice with beef short rib added to it. To say it is a fabulous dish is somehow falling short in my description. Filled with umami and texture, this dish is so satisfying that I cannot stop eating or attempting to describe it. Back to my plate now...”

“Best Cava in Knoxville! The store is always clean and the service is amazing every time! This team truly treats their customers with care every time and I always feel welcomed. The food is FRESH. So delicious!”

“Great service! We had the ice cream truck come to our company for a treat to our employees and it was a hit! Amazing flavors! I will definitely be calling them again for any event we host!”
