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!“

“We sat at the chef's table which was a real treat! The sous chefs, Eli, Artemis and Ben chatted with us but still turned out the food perfectly! Our server, Andrew, provided great service and was very accommodating. Scallops prepared perfectly, filet was delicious, everything was great. Elk was prepared perfectly and lamb shank was fall off the bone. Our foodie out-of-town guests said they will be back! As will we...yum...!“

“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! ❤️“

“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!“

“I typically love Maple Street. Something has changed over the past yr and my order tastes different. Now I know Cracker Barrell took over the chain but not sure if that is the source or not. Still a solid place for breakfast and I will definitely be back.“

“We ate at the Cheddars on Clinton Hwy in Knoxville and man it was soooo good. My son and I had the sirloin and they were cooked to perfection! There was a slight timing mishap with a soup and salad but they made it right on the spot and I am glad that I did not get that salad earlier because I would not have been able to enjoy every bite of that steak. The green beans? Oh my gosh soooo good. Next time I will forget about the salad and get the two sides. I didn't catch our server's name but she was great! Shout out to server: hey girl tell us your name! you don't have to say I am _____ and I will be your server. But maybe, and my name is _____ if you need to get my attention. That is what I used to do. And you were great! Thank you Cheddars!!! Oh and Kyle Busch is my driver!!“

“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!“

“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!“
