Comfort Food Restaurants in Knoxville, TN

“High class! Don’t get the coffee (it sucks) but overall incredibly good. One of the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. No joke. The truffle parm fries are also scrumptious. Atmosphere is wonderful (take your date here!) highly recommended and you can park for free nearby after 6pm!“

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

“We had a wonderful dinner here. We tried 35 North and left after sitting for a long period and being ignored by staff to even take our drink order. We wandered across the street to Elkmont and had a superlative experience. Wow. We sat at the chef’s bar. We had numerous staff waiting on us with exceptional professionalism. I haven’t service like that in a long time. Kenna, our server, was simply amazing. The food was delicious. We will be back.“

“Cafe 4 is a reliable place to bring family and friends. The food is consistently high quality and the service is always great. It's a noisy dining room so not as suitable for a romantic meal but for a business dinner, it can also work.“

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

“We ate here twice while we were in town, and we loved it! The servers, Amber and Daniel, were fantastic-nice, attentive and great personalities. We will definitely be back there!“

“Great food, service, and a happy clean atmosphere!“

“The food is always outstanding. The Squawking Goat is never a bad choice, but their steak breakfast tacos are also incredible, as is the biscuit side with jam, and the smashed hash browns. Cute interior, family style seating, and it’s been easy to find a place to sit the last several times I went.“

“We love to come to Cheddars for lunch! Generally, we all three get salmon with the bourbon glaze. It is so good! The rolls are out of sight! The atmosphere is so nice and conducive to our monthly time of getting caught up with each other. It is also my granddaughters’ most recommended place to eat! The attentive service, delicious food, and wonderful atmosphere makes it a winner!“

“Amyia was our server today and she went far and beyond for me and my sister today...Couldn't have asked for a nicer helper server...oh and the food was good to but even if it wasn't today I still wouldn't b so upset Bec our server was so nice...Companies need an Employee like her...This was at the Clinton Hwy Location“

“Maple Street Biscuit Company delivers a relaxed and friendly vibe with some of the best Southern comfort food you’ll find in Nashville. The cozy, quiet diner-style setting makes it easy to kick back and savor every bite without background noise or distractions. My personal favorite is the chicken and waffles, featuring thick, golden waffles topped with perfectly crispy fried chicken and just the right amount of sweet maple syrup. But everything on the menu holds its own, from the warm, flaky biscuits paired with flavorful jam to the popular Five and Dime sandwich loaded with fried chicken, bacon, cheddar cheese, sausage gravy, and a touch of pepper jelly for a subtle kick. Sides like crispy tater tots and smashed hash browns are also packed with flavor. The service is casual but efficient, you place your order at the counter, find a seat, and your food is brought out shortly after, often with a complimentary mini biscuit while you wait. If you’re looking for a breakfast spot that nails rich, satisfying comfort food without the chaos, Maple Street Biscuit Company absolutely belongs on your list.“

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