“I’ve had friends recommend Hello Tea House many times. Today my husband and I finally tried it!! The gal who waited on us - I think she’s an owner - was so helpful and patient with us newbies!! 💕 We got savory spicy chicken crepe sandwiches and bubble teas to start. It was cool to watch the sandwich making process from beginning to end! And both the teas and sandwiches were DELICIOUS!! Of course, we saved room for dessert. Thankful we did!! The wild berry sweet crepe - recommended by the same gal - was A-MAZ-ING!! We both agreed we should have started with THAT!! Next time!! 😜“

“Excellent food excellent service as always“

“We had the fish and fries and it was so delicious we really enjoyed! It was so fresh and best around here“

“WOW! What a gem Caza Brava Mexican Restaurant is! My friend Jason was craving Mexican food to celebrate his birthday. I just googled nearest restaurant to us and this came up first. So glad we decided to give it a try! From the moment Xavier graciously and enthusiastically greeted us at the door, we had the most scrumptious meal served by our most attentive waitress, Mary Bell. What a lovely person and hard worker! Oh, right! You want to know about the food! Fantastic! Jason had nachos and I was torn between a shrimp dish and their vegetarian dish which had more and varied vegetables than you see on most Mexican restaurant menus. I asked Xavier if he could add shrimp, and he came up with a solution immediately, which turned out to be SO FLAVORFUL And the presentation was truly beautiful! I never take pictures of my food at restaurants, but last night I did! And I’ve never written a review of a restaurant, not ANY restaurant…ever. Xavier and the rest of the staff, the quality of the service, and the tastiness of the food deserves five stars plus plus plus! I’ll be bringing more of my friends here!“

“The ORIGINAL!!! Character, great food, ALWAYS great!!!“

“We love their macarons! Grabbed some while dashing through the mall- so happy we stopped! Duche De Leche, Dark Chocolate!! Mmm so good!“

“Love the food. Everything from egg rolls, soup and ginger shrimp excellent. Eat here once a week would eat more often if they delivered. Food is always fresh and cooked perfectly. You won’t regret your meal here.“

“We stumbled upon this place while we were looking for a local place to grab breakfast. You do want to be there early as it is a first come, first serve - one man shop. The blueberry breakfast sandwich and blueberry biscuits were buttery and soft. Excellent experience and we will be back next time we’re in the area. Highly recommend!“

“Maybe it’s because the owners are friends, but every time I walk through the door, I feel like I’m welcome and at home. Now imagine that feeling when you don’t have ties to this place, that’s how they make EVERYONE feel. Amazing food, but even more amazing people and bonds. Knox Vegas wants so bad to be a big city, but we’re just fine with what we have and establishments like this that still bring that small town comfort and love. No matter the name, it will forever be one of our favorite places to just exist.“

“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! ❤️“

“I love Commonplace. The atmosphere is very cozy, calm, and happy. The employees are so personable and kind. I accidentally spilled an entire coffee and not only did they refuse to let me help clean it up, they also replaced my coffee without hesitation and without me even asking. I will be back as long as they are here, which I hope is forever!!“

“We drive from Indiana to Xul because it's that good! All of the sours but especially the PB&J!“

“First time there. The food and service was very good. We will be back and bring some friends with us .“

“Our first visit for dinner won’t be the last! We ordered steak and burgers and were very very satisfied-great quality food! Charity, the manager, and Lily, our waitress, went above and beyond to provide amazing service. It was obvious that that is the standard to which they do business. We were very impressed and will definitely be back!“

“I host events at HiWire and Leslie and her crew have always been so accommodating from day one. They are such a delight to work with. I love the space and how flexible they are with working with any event hosted there. It is extremely dog and family friendly. They always have a great selection of drinks for any pallette. the rooftop is a great spot on good weather days. Definitely recommend checking it out.“

“awesome place, great atmosphere“

“We needed a burger and a quick old fashioned! This place was packed and they still turned out our food and drinks fast! The well whiskey was good too. I should have gotten the whiskey flight! Buffalo trace , welled reserve, Blanton’s, and to finish it off with some Taylor! Man, that sounded like a great choice! This is place is on my Must revisit!“

“Purchased Chicken ranch on white, the bread was homemade, light & very tasty. All ingredients were fresh. The whole sandwich is for a hungry appetite. The potato salad is very yummy, the fresh squeezed lemonade topped off the whole meal. Staff was friendly and attentive. Atmosphere is spacious with a gallery of hometown photos. Looking forward to our next visit!“

“This is my first order with them, & they did not disappoint! It is SO delicious! The placement of the fruits in the bowl are even great! They sure did a great job. I didn’t know where they were located & they’re actually close to my home! Heck yeah!“

“Quite frankly & straight to the point, for years I only went to another local Knoxville sushi spot that had half price sushi nights. Then my husband introduced me to Tangerine & it's the only place I happily go to & pay full price. The employees are the nicest ever! The food is great! The hot dishes are always piping hot & the sushi is great! We go at least once a month, if not more often. Presentation is always on point.“

“this place was fantastic. found y'all off Google. the owner is the one back in the kitchen so you know he has a vested interest in making great food, quickly. I got the "ultimate" omelette, and I'm pretty sure it's gonna be my breakfast staple whenever I come through town. Nora was awesome!“

“Bartender Ryan, was awesome. He delivered delicious sweet & savory cocktails and yummy small plates. Also enjoyed the salmon with crispy broccoli and rice. Comfy warm atmosphere .“

“Such a cute building! I really appreciated the way they route people for ice cream pickup to avoid congestion. The bathroom is adorable as is the outdoor seating. Wish they would get more vegan ice cream flavors but the dole whip is always delicious!“

“Great service awesome food“

“We went 7/4/26 at 4pm. Had Famous Daves been open we would have eaten there. Jim's was okay but the spareribs were overdone and salty. They only come one way. We will not be going back. Too bad.“

“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.“

“Best baked goods I’ve ever had in my whole life. Crave-able croissants and coffee. A true Knoxville treasure ✨“
