7 Best Southern Restaurants near Maryville

“I came by with a discount card that I clearly hadn’t read to see what was offered in the discount. The card read one free chick meal with a Purchase of atrio. I of course read that as two trios. They made it right and were very friendly and doing so. I will be back for sure! But that was totally my mistake.“

“We’ve been to Walnut Kitchen for dinner three times in 3 months and numerous times for lunch. Every meal we’ve had has been absolutely delicious from starters to desserts. Don’t miss out on this gem, with a team that truly cares for your complete satisfaction.“

“Great food, service, and a happy clean atmosphere!“

“Cheddars does well. Leah was our server and she was fantastic. Kind, patient, and got our order correct. Something we all know can be a challenge when dining out.

Even as two elderly ladies behind us have her a hard time, she held her poise, kept her cool, and quelled the situation.

So why 2 stars for the food and atmosphere? Well, the food here is just okay. There’s nothing special about it, and it’s priced accordingly.

The atmosphere is hit or miss. Sometimes you get sat in a wide open space, and the massive fish tank is a nice touch. Tables like “Table 1”, however, are less awesome. A little hole of a table with a main lane on one side, and right in front of the kitchen. VERY BUSY! Not a very peaceful atmosphere to dine in.

I never see anyone eating on their back patio for some reason. The bar doesn’t get busy EVER. And new faces are seen here constantly, indicating high turnover and poor management.

The hostess and person that seats you are not awesome. They don’t smile, speak to you as they seat you, or even say anything to you after you sit down. They just walk away like “whatever.”

Someone with some dining knowledge and management skills should take over here. It has potential, but it’s obvious that management has no presence or skill in professional development.“

“Ethan from OCharleys in Alcoa Tennessee wa a wonderful waiter. Just don’t know his last name and would like to know it. Does anyone know“

“My Home style chicken was terrible. It didn’t taste like the home style I have gotten before and it’s one of my favorites. I didn’t eat hardly any of it. I was disappointed and wished I have just ordered a vegetable plate. The green beans are terrible also I think they’re cooking them a different way. I was so disappointed and I’m a fan of Cracker Barrel but may choose to go to a different restaurant next time we go out to eat.“
