On our way through town and asked a friend where the locals go - this was it! Amazing food! Amazing service! Come to find out that the owners son is a HUGE Buckeyes fan! I knew that I felt it as soon as I walked up!!

Best breakfast, friendly staff!!

We had so much fun eating lunch here! The owners are delightful! The hamburgers are out of this world. The French fries are the best we’ve ever had and just to end it with a scrumptious banana pudding. Worth every calorie! Can’t wait to return when we are back in town!!!!

5 stars all the way around! Everytime we come through from Alabama this is the ONLY place we stop in Knoxville. This past weekend we stopped going up to Gatlinburg and coming back. Wonderful people and delicious food and a family atmosphere! This is what a family owned business is all about!!!!

Lovely lovely lovely little restaurant. Average fare but wonderful employees. The cash register lady was friendly and helpful and even got me to purchase two pieces of their walnut baklava! (*Spoiler alert - It was absolutely delicious). Will be back!
