The Kennedy is a well-known gastropub in Knoxville that offers an elevated dining experience. The attentive and friendly staff, including Josh and Anthony, who both provided outstanding service, ensure a smooth visit even for large groups with special requests. The food remains consistently delicious, with standout dishes like the roasted chicken, French Dip, and salmon. Customers also enjoy a variety of flavorful options such as the Wagyu burger, sausage pizza, and a chicken parm sandwich that many consider one of the best in Knoxville. The sauces and sides, including mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts, truffle fries, and charred goat cheese carrots, add layers of flavor. The bar impresses with well-balanced cocktails like the "only fans" martini, the TK old-fashioned, and a margarita al pastor that is flavorful, though with bits of herbs. The atmosphere is warm and lively, making it a great choice for many diners. While it can be a bit on the loud side, many visitors plan to return for another round of appetizers and drinks, enjoying the excellent service, tasty food, and unique drink options.
