“Yesterday was my first time at Magnolia Cafe to hear JessBless. Food and drinks were great! I loved the atmosphere, but the servers left something to be desired.“

“Chef Mo provided us great food at our recent conference.“

“Amazing place with super lovely staff and great food for really cheap. It is hard to find however. You have to go to McCord hall, go in the lower entrance (opposite side of where Google will take you) walk in and you'll see a tiny sign on the right. I can't recommend this place enough for a breakfast spot to eat and study“

“I love the grilled chicken sandwich at Jack's.“

“I’ve been to Jacks probably about 3 times and every time I get the Cardamom Latte. The environment is incredible with friendly workers. The thing that truly makes this place different though is the gluten free availability and the flea market style. Definitely recommend to anyone.“

“Friendliest and cleanest restaurant I have visited in Knoxville. The menu is impressive. However, the Gyro stands out. Visit Al and his staff you will not be disappointed

Wheelchair accessibility: Tables chairs and very comfortable. Highly recommend for wheelchair accessible. The staff is assertive and sharp.“

“Open Chord is a great concert venue! It has a very intimate setting and the staff and food are great! They also host a fantastic open mic night once a month. It's a great place to hang out.“

“Delivery is usually rocking, but not today. I’ll usually give a little slack when the order’s not right but I think you would want to know how your food is being represented. I ordered my favorite, the Farmhouse Hash. Maybe I’m being picky but I’m only comparing it to the same meals I’ve had before, which were excellent. First, either Avocado’s have shrunk to the size of a Kumquat or the cook could care less about what this meal would taste like. I got 4 pieces of avocado about an inch big. And they still had the peel on them. Second, I ordered Sour Dough as opposed to wheat because of nutrition guidelines I have to keep. I got wheat anyway, which was very tempting. My eggs were fried, not basted. I got cheddar cheese instead of goat cheese. We also received smucker’s packets instead of the home made jam, that we expected. So it just boils down to the quality for the price. I basically paid $30 for my meal. I don’t mind paying restaurant prices but I also expect better than fast-food. One more thing I would like your business to think about. I am a disabled, immune-compromised customer. I order delivery more than the average customer for health reasons. I don’t appreciate the lack of consideration from your kitchen staff. Just because I’m not there to ask the server to correct my order, does not mean it’s ok to slack off on your duties. It more than likely was oversight but still, I felt you needed to know what was going on. I do hesitate now, to order from First Watch. I’m just not sure I’ll get what I expect.“

“ITS FABULOUS!!!!!! Lots of options and NO guilt. I highly recommend“
