I have no clue what happened but the quality of the food has absolutely nosedived. I used to feel like 15$ justified their great chicken tenders but last time I got them they were mostly breading and burnt. They've also swapped their burger patties out for very clearly frozen patties. You can get the same thing at Burger King for half the price.

We use to come here all the time but the service has gone down hill. Went for lunch and it wasn’t busy compared to how I have seen it. It took FAR too long to even be attended to by a hostess. No one even acknowledged we were waiting to be sat. That should have been a sign of how the service was going to be. Very very poor service. We waited so long for someone to help us. We needed up having to get our own silver ware, water was left unfilled. We would ask and make simple requests for things like silverware and water and it would never happen. Lots of wandering around and zero sense of urgency from anyone working. That experience made me not want to go back. also including a picture of the “fruit cup” that was a side. This is literally a toppings cup that could feed a bird.

We always come close to closing so I am sure they hate that. Service is always good and friendly. We do love the food but feels a little too short on portion size for the price. Plus bring back your tots, they were awesome.

Place was near empty. Took a long time for a server to show. Saw one customer get up and go complain to hostess. When our server showed he had a pen but no paper. No straws when he left our drinks. Took way too long to bring our check. My wife liked her dip burger. I was not thrilled with the avocado burger. My wife would go back but I would not.

IDEAL atmosphere for my 2 little pre-school aged boys while partaking in SINGO! I ordered the burger bowl (special), which was absolutely delicious. Speedy service and laid back feel made for the perfect Tuesday night dinner spot. Will absolutely be back!

After three nights camping in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, I took a quick day trip to Knoxville and stopped in at Corner 16—and I wasn’t disappointed!
I had the salmon salad, which was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what I needed to refuel after several long hikes. The outdoor patio was perfect with a refreshing breeze and ideal weather, while the inside décor stood out with quirky, one-of-a-kind decorations.
The highlight of my visit was my engagement with Jeannie, a manager filling in for the day. She went above and beyond—giving me a tour of the restaurant, making sure my food and service were excellent, and even sharing a fun detail about the décor. She explained that kids sometimes leave toys behind, and the owner places them on shelves—dinosaurs, tractors, and other little “Easter eggs” for guests to discover. Such a creative touch that made the atmosphere even more memorable.
I’ve also visited some of their other concepts, like Chesapeake’s, and the consistency in quality and hospitality is impressive.
👉 Whether you’re a local or just passing through Knoxville, Corner 16 is a must-visit!
I met some longtime friends for a business lunch here because it was close to one of their jobs. We are all friends because we met working in a restaurant 20 years ago and I was meeting with them to go over a few things while taking the chance to catch up. Heaven was very prompt, friendly, and efficient! We weren’t without anything at any point. A manager made a point to stop by and make sure we’d enjoyed everything. The temperature of the restaurant was great, everything inside was clean, and the outside was incredibly well-kept. My food was delicious. Very pleased!

We were sitting at the table for 15 minutes and not once did anyone come take are drink order. They weren't even busy. This place has really gone down hill and is a dump.

Hailey B. was absolutely fantastic! She was friendly, fast, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. You can tell she cares about her customers and takes pride in what she does. Great service at Corner 16 — we’ll definitely be back and asking for Hailey!
