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.
We've been here several times. Drinks are always top notch and food is consistently amazing. We will continue to be frequent flyers of Stir Knoxville!
Incredible food, drinks and service. Thank you Maleigha for making our daughter's birthday celebration so special.
Fantastic food and service. Highly recommend to anyone that loves seafood. Son had steak frites, which he thoroughly enjoyed.
The entrees were heavily salted. The lobster/crab cakes , or the sauce was too salty to be enjoyed.
Hosts were rude and unwelcoming.
Despite the fact the restaurant was not crowded the server was inattentive. The food was served cold including the hamburgers and fries except for the oysters which were warm but uncooked. The beverage menu was not up to date with more than half of our selections being out of stock. In summary I would not recommend this restaurant.
My wife and I eat out several times a week and I wanted to try someplace new to add to the rotation so that we are not always eating at the same places. This isn't it. Kaylee C was our server and I think she did not want to be there, and for the most part she wasn't. I would have given them a 1 star except the Cheeseburger Eggrolls were delicious. I had the Chicken Piccata and my wife had the Halibut Piccata. There was no flavor to the Chicken Piccata at all. I tend to like bland foods, but this was just boring. Worse than what you get on airplanes. The roasted vegetables were tasteless as well. My wife never complains about her meals, maybe because she doesn't pay for them, but she said it wasn't very good, not bad, just not good, especially for the price. The restaurant is very loud as well. Very difficult to have a conversation. Parking is a problem and we had to park in the lot across the street. Two hour minimum and it's $15.99 for two hours. They are very proud of their parking lot, pot holes and all. The restaurant itself is pretty cool, but the food and service leaves a lot to be desired, especially at these prices. Quite frankly I'd rather eat at a Chick Filet than here, and I don't like Chick Filet. It's hard to find a decent restaurant in Knoxville, but there are a few, this one is not one of them. You can do better, and not pay $16 for parking. I have pictures, but google is not allowing me to upload them for some reason.
Great place to go with a group or a couple. Service is outstanding! Atmosphere and the outside seating are great.
I had the Vegan Poke Bowl and it was delicious. It is a large entree. The service was wonderful.

I got the lobster and shrimp white cheddar mac and cheese. It was so good! My wife always gets the crispy mahi bowl. It is also amazing. The drinks are always on point and super cold. We love this place!
Food and service was great. Only complaint is that there were a lot of fruit flies/gnats flying around at our table. We killed at least 5. Causes a little concern for kitchen cleanliness and/or rotting foods. We'd definitely come back, but insects flying around definitely takes away from the experience.
As always the food was amazing perfectly prepared and excellent portions. The service was great and the ambiance is wonderful and relaxed.
This was our first visit to Stir. The food was amazing as were the creative drinks. We recommend and would return.
Went on a Saturday around 5p, parking was awful, the lot across the street poorly designed and over priced. The restaurant was crowded, tables were too close to other parties, and the environment on the loud side. Drinks were disappointing (Old Fashion and Porn star martini). Crab cakes were good needed seasoning. Oysters were pretty good, we had Char boiled oysters. Possibly would visit again during the week with hopes of a better experience and bartender.
