32 Best Seafood Restaurants in Knoxville

“Food was excellent, atmosphere was nice“

“Tucker was amazing enjoyed his knowledge and attitude“

“Best place I've eaten by far. Great food all around. Disappointed they took away the king crab legs BUT still my favorite place to eat. All their meats are perfectly cooked.“

“First time going and I loved the scallop appetizer and the pork belly! I wanted the lamb and need to go back just for the lamb since they were out. I had the elk chops and they were good! I mainly ordered it for my husband since he couldn't decide between the two dishes and he enjoyed both! Im not a big meat eater but i did love the carrots and scallop potatoes! The service wasnt the best but wasnt the worse. He forgot to give my husbands friend his debit card back and forgot to add lemon to my water and give us utensils..so a little off. They were full but not crowded. Noisy but we can still hear ourselves talk. A little stuffy as the ventilation could have been better but overall I want to go back! Definitely to try the lamb!“

“Great Service, I believe our server was new and she was a delight. I was there around 1pm and had the oyster dozen. also a gin bloody Mary. My Sweetheart companions had the chorizo tacos and another the grouper. I appreciated the interior, a great swanky decor and comfortable booth. I am an oyster lover.“

“We had the BEST waitress, Alma. She was attentive, knowledgeable, helpful, timely, and most importantly she was so personable. She had the best personality. She was friendly and engaging. Anyone can be taught a menu, but they can’t be taught personality like that. That was genuine. She was incredible and we would easily return just to have her again.“

“Our daughters organized a wonderful milestone birthday celebration for us at Ruth’s Chris in one of the private dining rooms, which included access to an inviting private outdoor patio.

The most appreciated complement to our celebration was the excellent service provided by our congenial hostess, Leah. She was gracious, attentive, and incredibly accommodating, with an attitude that made it clear she wanted to ensure our evening was truly special.

Thank you, Leah, for helping make our milestone birthday celebration one we will always remember. When you go, ask for Leah—you will be in wonderful hands!“

“That! My friends, was quality of food freshness and service!! 10 out of 10!! Americal was my server and she was on point!! practically read my mind. I grew up on the bayou , js 💜“

“We had lunch mid week. Excellent service from greeter to server. Manager cruised through to check on us. We requested an entree only served at dinner and the chef graciously accommodated. Food was outstanding. Shrimp and grits were perfect. Lobster crab cakes presentation was as good as the taste. I’m from the Gulf Coast and very picky about seafood. The crab bisque was delicious as well. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Food was very good and large portions, to which I give it a 9 out of 10; when waitress presented the bill, she stood there while we looked at the bill and added a tip to the paperwork. We always tip restaurant staff, however it was quite uncomfortable when we reviewed the bill and decided how much the tip should be...just sayin'.“

“The jolly rancher jerk chicken wings are out of this world 💕💕💕 amazing customer service and I will be back!!“

“Great service.. great food...“

“red lobster biscuits and shrimp scampi“

“I loved this place. Intimate atmosphere, great drinks, wine and dinner menu. Enjoyed our meal very much.“

“After being on the road, decided to stop by as from Knoxville, but hadnt been here before. Food was really good, but the service was not the best. Waited a long time to take our order, but once the order was in, it got better. Small atmosphere so if there is a game or a large group, it can get noisy.“

“Mom and I went for Friday night seafood buffet $49.99. The buffet selection was quite small. However we were there for the crab legs and prime rib. Both were fabulous. Crab legs were a medium size, and served cold. (Would prefer warm) But they were very good. They did have steamed clams. And raw oysters on the 1/2 shell but they looked a bit dry. Had a small selection of cold salads such as a crab salad, which was good. Peel and eat shrimp. Clam chowder had fabulous flavor (but someone didn't take the bay leaves out and the clams were small pieces) but it was still very tasty. They had a very small salad station, very simple but it was off to the side and was not on ice to keep the lettuce cold. The had a small dessert station w/a build your own Sunday set up, apple crumble, and a few plated options. They did have about 4-5 hot items but they were just barely warm as the were not in a steam table but rather had little steno heaters( small little cans that are lit and produce little flame). They had a man at the Prime rib station to carve and a create your own pasta station, which included a choice of scallops, shrimp or chicken with penne pasta and a variety of add-ins. Service was great very nice and attentive. Place was clean and pretty quiet. All in all would definitely recommend. We will definitely be going back sometime. 8/10 only because of the small selection and the hot wasn't very hot.“

“I was treated here for my birthday. Had the best time ever. I absolutely love this place. The service was wonderful I really think her name was Ashley if I remember right. She was so awesome. I love the whole set up. Where u can see the kitchen. I will be back soon. The food was absolutely delicious 😋 everything was so yummy“

“I stopped in today just to try this place out and it did not disappoint. I can't wait to come back . It was so good I ordered a to go order for tonight as well. The staff was super friendly as well“

“Great service and great food!! The staff and the manager make sure you enjoy your meal and your evening. We will definitely be back ?“

“My wife and I stopped in for a Valentines Day weekend dinner and were plesently blown away. The Appetizer, Salad, Steak, Stuffed Lobster, Sea Bass and desert were all some of the best we can recall. Our server was pleasant, answered all our many questions and our food came out quickly even tho the restaurant was very busy. We can’t wait to go back and try some of the other items on the menu! 🤩“

“I’ve been to 20+ mexican restaurants in East Tennessee. I’ve never experienced such a warm family welcome like at Dos Agaves! Good food! Big Portions, high protein meals and fairly priced! We will be returning for many more years!“

“2nd time here! It's great food and wait staff doesn't rush , nor do I. Very relaxing“

“Best Korean menu outside Seoul. We are regulars on the Friday lunch special. Can't find the words to express my enjoyment at dining there.“

“🐙 seafood menu is extensive. my octopus + shrimp was cooked delightfully. the many salsa options was excellent. I am a queso afìcionado. the queso was delicious. next trip I will get the grilled whole octopus. Happy to have found an authentic Mexican seafood place 🤍 good service.“

“JesusChristHeals. JesusChristHeals. Jesus Christ Heals?“

“5 stars all the way! Great service and the food is even better. Easily one of the best Chinese food spots in all of Knoxville. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and came out fast. Highly recommend Panda Garden if you’re looking for quality food and a great experience. Definitely coming back for more!“

“We stopped by the Captain D’s on Kingston Pike yesterday while shopping & was the worst experience we’ve ever had. First, my husband ordered the meal with the 24 fried shrimp & fish; he counted 8; he also ordered the butterfly shrimp add-on which would expect to be on the plate & since it came in a box,“

“Long John Silvers FISH PATTIES are twice the size of Captain “D” and TWICE AS GOOD ‼️✅
LOVED MY LOCATION ON WESTERN AVENUE, & Alcoa Hwy. And Sevierville. & Knoxville Tennessee. I RATE THE LOCATIONS AS FIVE STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
MUCH BETTER AND BIGGER FISH PATTYS THAN CAPTAIN D’s !!!!
I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO CAPTAIN D’s at Young High Pike & Chapman Hwy. VERY RUDE WOMAN MANAGER !!! AND THE Corporate Office Totally ignored my complaint.
😡“

“It was very fast service! Very clean! And the food was hot & delicious!!“
