This place is closed for good and will be sorely missed. Chef John Fletcher is the last of the great diamonds in the rough. The food was truly amazing and it will be difficult to find its like.

Yummy in my tummy every time! The Mac and cheese is super delicious. Call to find out the dessert of the week! The banana pudding roll is PHENOMENAL ?
Parking: Just kinda find a spot near the restaurant!
Kid-friendliness: They’re very friendly and accommodating to children. My child always feels welcomed and loved there.

Absolutely perfect!I was certain that Eric was the owner, as he was attentive, informative,and diligently kept the place clean and tidy with an uplifting smile and attitude.The food was beautiful, delicious, hot and plentiful. Started off with still crackling pork rinds... light and crispy. A full rack of smoky, moist ribs and order of nice sized wings were perfectly spiced...didn't even need the side sauces. The braised greens were like candy...the best I've ever had!I am always looking for a diamond in the rough...instead I found a diamond.This is a MUST stop. We will be back!

Vega always reminds me of the quality of a Michelin star restaurant and the home town feel of Luke's diner from Gilmore Girls. It's always outstanding, not just great, and yet friendly, comfortable, and homey. If you are local, just go, you won't regret it. Also, hit Norris damn park just a few minutes away. If you time it for the golden hour walk in the park, you are wise.

Delicious food, particularly the black eyed pea hummus, kale salad, Mac and cheese, and meatloaf. They also have specials that change regularly and are BYOB wine and beer. Vega is a wonderful asset to downtown Norris and a must visit if you are in town!
Teresa took amazing care of me. As an out of Towner I asked for her recommendations and all were perfect! The wings and brisket burger were amazing and best I dipped everything in the amazing pepper jelly sauce that the wings came in! I could just sit there and eat the fries and pepper jelly sauce. You have to go and check this please out, it’s worth a short drive from Knoxville!

I've eaten here twice now. Service is great, food is very tasty. Greens are sweet/vinegar which is not to my personal taste, but everything else has been super tasty!
