50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Knoxville

“Food is excellent here. Highly recommend the farm egg and pork osso bucko. Service isn’t the best and they kinda sell you on things you don’t realize you’re ordering. Stuff like “can I bring you guys some bread while you’re waiting?” And the bread costs $10. Otherwise good tho“

“High class! Don’t get the coffee (it sucks) but overall incredibly good. One of the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. No joke. The truffle parm fries are also scrumptious. Atmosphere is wonderful (take your date here!) highly recommended and you can park for free nearby after 6pm!“

“Absolutely amazing food! Best pizza , best gelato!“

“I've been here twice now, and have really enjoyed both times. The food is great, and comes fast to your table. The staff have costume themes. Video games galore. And loads of pinball.

Highly recommend checking this place and seeing if it's your kind of flavor.“

“Great staff and great food!“

“Cafe 4 is a reliable place to bring family and friends. The food is consistently high quality and the service is always great. It's a noisy dining room so not as suitable for a romantic meal but for a business dinner, it can also work.“

“Everything, food, servers and the environment!!“

“So fire. Steamed bun rolls and spicy beef“

“Our waitress Presley is so good! This is the second time she has served me at Nama. She is so personable and kind. I really hope the managers/owners see my review and give her props!! She impressed my hard to impress in-laws while they were visiting at Christmas time. She was wonderful again tonight while GFs and I were out dining at Nama DT! Thank you Presley! Keep shining! ⭐️ Food was top notch, as always!! ❤️ Orange Crush Roll 😋“

“Absolutely delicious food. Healthy options polenta octopus chicken steak pasta we absolutely loved it.“

“I love their tamales! I bought a wonderful bulk of them earlier this week.“

“I had a Dubai chocolate strawberry cup this past weekend and it was so good! The only thing I would change is have layers of the crunchy part and pistachios added in instead of just on top“

“First time in and it was amazing! Great food, drinks and service.“

“😅Outstanding food, reasonable prices and friendly atmosphere.“

“BEST food, BEST coffee, BEST service, BEST atmosphere!“

“Fantastic girls getting it done! They should play Fail Army on tv,that’s funny.Not as many guys as you think watch sports at all.I know because I go there a lot.“

“Honestly, I cannot say anything BUT great things about this place. The food is absolutely delicious. It was nice to have access to true authentic Mediterranean food, and it actually taste legitimate. Will return over and over!“

“This was our first time trying Afgani food. It was delicious! We had the Rom bowl with beef and chicken and rice pudding. My son loved the presentation of the bread sealed bowl- he was surprised to find all of the rice and meat inside of the bread. The rice was cooked perfectly.
Amazing flavors all around. Lovely service! Highly recommend!“

“Cava has a great variety of items to select from. The restaurant is clean and the staff is very friendly. You can build your own bowl with fresh ingredients. However if you know what authentic falafel tastes like skip their falafel.“

“This place is AWESOME!! From the cleanliness of the place as well as indoor and outdoor seating, courteous staff to the incredible flavors of ice cream, donuts and I especially love the pretzel. The best I've ever had! the ice cream is so creamy and fresh every time I've been there! My whole and extended family love this place and my 16 year old granddaughter says the ice cream is the best she's ever had...and that's saying something! Everyone..please come and see what all the hype is about!!“

“this is by far my favorite restaurant“

“Mooyah...burger joint par excellence! Everything I have ever eaten there is fresh (prepared after you order) and perfectly seasoned. Service is friendly and engaged with the guests. But wait, there's more. I challenge you to try their chocolate shakes which are not dispensed out of a machine. I'd be shocked if you didn't say, "The best I ever had!"“

“Great food and great staff! Always have an amazing time here“

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

“Sooooo good! The best ice cream you will ever try! It is a little busy and we had to wait outside in a line probably because it was a Saturday night but other than that 10/10 the staff is super friendly and service is very quick, the ice creamer is the best, definitely worth trying it out.“

“Been here several times and every visit has been exceptional! Will continue to eat here and the staff and owners are very helpful, nice, kind people. A must do for all.“

“Highly recommended! Don’t miss this place! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will be back!“

“This is by far my favorite ice cream stop in the whole world. No kidding they are the best. This location is really unique and friendly. Located in a large Victorian style house, Cruze Farm East Knox has plenty of parking, lots of indoor and outdoor seating, and a drive thru! The staff are attentive, friendly and enthused for ice cream. Make sure to sample before you decide and they have pints of their amazing flavors to take home.“

“My husband and I just ate there for the first time. I have been craving this type of food since I visited Louisiana a couple years ago. I sure can't make it myself and I have never found anything that compares until tonight. We split the chicken gumbo, beef po'boy and red beans and rice. Everything was excellent and the staff was so friendly!“

“The food is incredibly delicious! The restaurant is spotless and the staff were absolutely wonderful!! Our son has never eaten anything on the menu and we had to get extra to take home! Well worth the hour drive for us to get here! We’ll be back!“

“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 .“

“Place was a wreck Saturday night. Was rushed to get thru the line and out of several ingredients.
I asked to speak to the manager but was on break.
I tried to call numerous times over the last few days only to get a busy signal.
Disappointed“

“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!“

“Made to order nothing pre-made. Authentic and Amazing tacos . Fresh corn and flour tortillas made daily . Salsa bar was great also they pack the fire away all nice and neat but add it to your tacos and elevate your experience ! You get what you pay for and this place is low key throwing down ?
I see so many people going to get chicken nuggets and feel sad that they don't know the street taco love hiding in plain sight ! Tell them Zan sent you and make sure you thank the man who makes your food .
P.s try to corn“

“Shout out to the bartender, Tara. You were absolutely phenomenal during our visit! Keep making those amazing White Russians!!“

“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!“

“We went for my wife's birthday, and it was awesome. The outside appearance is very deceptive and another example of not judging the book by the cover. My only regret was not taking a picture of the meal before it looked like we had lucked the platter clean. Very delightful, even down to the cup of coffee with dessert. I'm not partial to baclava, but this was truly delightful, and I don't typically find coffee that can even be considered consumable without creme, but black was great! The service was just as pleasant as the food.“

“A wide selection of healthy dishes. It's a little bit higher price point than most other breakfast restaurants, but well worth the price. I highly suggest The Three Little Pigs quiche that has bacon, sausage, and ham. The grits are delicious, too. And they also have a nice patio where you can eat outdoors when it's warmer out. Best of all you can bring your furry four-legged friends with you when you eat outside.“

“My husband and I had breakfast there recently, and it was a delight! It felt sort of old-fashioned to me, it was quiet the service was great, and the food was even better!“

“Ate here and got great service and food. There was vegetarian accommodations. Delicious sauces.“

“Originally from WV, currently live in knoxville (2 years). Five years later, this is still my favorite place. Tyelo and Kyle are the best!“

“I absolutely love Kooky Cookies and appreciate what they’re doing for people who have allergies but still want to enjoy sweet treats! From our family who has a child with allergies, we thank you Kooky!“

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

“I had a wonderful dinner at Altruda’s last night. Our server, Mia was fantastic. She was attentive, kind, and went above and beyond to ensure my boyfriend and I had a great experience. I look forward to trying a new dish the next time I’m there.“

“Amazing first visit for hubby and mine anniversary on 5/28/22. Our server Konnor was wonderful and friendly, never felt ignored even though they were busy. Escargot was the best we’d ever had. Truffle fries to die for. Duo of duck and trout almandine fantastic entrees. Make sure to save room for dessert! Wonderful crème brûlée for myself and profiteroles for hubby (I did not try since am GF). Cocktails also delish although the whiskey sour could use some work/sprucing up. Can’t wait to return!!“

“Definitely going back to family oriented atmosphere. Pizza is very good and the customer service is always on point. I don’t really have anything negative to say about this place. We will continue to go back probably on the days that we have soccer practice and it’s always nice being able to eat pizza and then
walk across and get some ice cream afterwards.“

“Always a pleasure attending Ruth’s Chris. Our server tonight was Mr. Chandler. He took excellent care of us recommending entrees and cocktails. Will surely be back and asking for Chandler! Also a huge thanks to Ms. Lauren for helping us with our gift card issues.“

“Delivery is usually rocking, but not today. I’ll usually give a little slack when the order’s not right but I think you would want to know how your food is being represented. I ordered my favorite, the Farmhouse Hash. Maybe I’m being picky but I’m only comparing it to the same meals I’ve had before, which were excellent. First, either Avocado’s have shrunk to the size of a Kumquat or the cook could care less about what this meal would taste like. I got 4 pieces of avocado about an inch big. And they still had the peel on them. Second, I ordered Sour Dough as opposed to wheat because of nutrition guidelines I have to keep. I got wheat anyway, which was very tempting. My eggs were fried, not basted. I got cheddar cheese instead of goat cheese. We also received smucker’s packets instead of the home made jam, that we expected. So it just boils down to the quality for the price. I basically paid $30 for my meal. I don’t mind paying restaurant prices but I also expect better than fast-food. One more thing I would like your business to think about. I am a disabled, immune-compromised customer. I order delivery more than the average customer for health reasons. I don’t appreciate the lack of consideration from your kitchen staff. Just because I’m not there to ask the server to correct my order, does not mean it’s ok to slack off on your duties. It more than likely was oversight but still, I felt you needed to know what was going on. I do hesitate now, to order from First Watch. I’m just not sure I’ll get what I expect.“

“Shawn Comerford and his entire staff at the cedar bluff location are amazing!! I’m obsessed with their food and their hospitality! Go check out the food, you won’t regret it! 🤟“
