“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!!“

Partial Cafe Cafe •

“Hands down the best coffee shop in Knoxville. Came to Knoxville for the weekend and tried numerous coffee shops and none were worth visiting again, other than Partial Cafe. Coffee was perfect and the staff were actually friendly where all the other shops I visited the staff seemed wildly disinterested. Highly recommend this place!“

“My granddaughter brought me a drink when Covid was really bad on Mother’s Day of 2020 and that was when I first fell in love with Hey Bear. I’ve had so many wonderful family memories there with my grandkids and one son and daughter. They also make the best Boba tea that I’ve had in either Sevier or Knox County. I love that they have the swing for the kids and the outside entertainment and the fire pits and outside heat for when it’s cold.“

Mabel's Cafe • $
McCord Hall, 2640 Morgan Cir Dr, Knoxville

“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“
