Walked in on a Tuesday at around 2:30 pm. There were 3 of us. Restaurant was at about 30% capacity. We were seated right away and took the waiter about 5 minutes to get to our table. After ordering, it took 15 minutes to get our food. I got the spicy rigatoni. Pasta was al dente. Sauce was reminiscent of a mild buffalo sauce. Grilled chicken was moist. Waiter came by once during the meal. There were multiple stacks of boxes about 5 feet high in the dining area.

Knoxville is amazing. Kennedy's is outstanding. The food was phenomenal. BUT Josh was what truly tied it all together. He was extremely accommodating during our dining experience. He had the best recommendations! Do yourself a favor & make the reservation with Josh! You won't regret it!

At bar. Worst experience ever. Food came out random. Guy was a jerk. Just keep walking over prices and treated like shit not worth both.

The chicken was pretty good, a little dry but the flavor was on point. The Brussels sprouts were way too sweet.

We stopped in at The Kennedy last night and had a fantastic experience. The manager, Anthony was attentive and funny from the moment we arrived, professional without being overbearing. I do not recall our server’s name, but she was excellent as well, handling everything smoothly and with a great attitude.

The food and cocktails were top notch, and the atmosphere was warm and lively without being too loud. The Devils app was divine!

We will definitely be back soon. Great service, great energy, and great people.
