“consistent quality Tennessee food“

“Our first time & we were happy with it! The only thing I’ll say is… We about didn’t even go. Everywhere you look there’s mixed information about them being in business versus closed permanently. My Apple Maps & Yelp both said permanently closed. A quick google said open with hours being updated 2 months ago. Almost everything else pointed to them being out of business… The FB page doesn’t have any recent activity. There’s no reviews from this year. It’s easy to assume that maybe they closed their doors for good sometime between last summer to fall. Just saying, because I’m sure we can’t be the only ones that have (almost) skipped out on this place due to the above. Glad we didn’t! The outdoor setting in Jackson Square is cute & the kid loved the pigsss… getting ice cream is always a fun little activity. I’m sure we’ll return. Onlookers… THEY ARE OPEN! ♥️“

“Great place for a somewhat elevated lunch in Oak Ridge. One word of warning - ask about the pricing of the specials. My two smallish crab cakes lunch special and a single side ran $35, quite a bit more than I anticipated. Quality of the food is good overall. The table bread isn't up to their previous standard. And there were two order mistakes among the six of us, a bit sloppier than what I've come to expect.“

“went here to eat for breakfast and had Caroline as my sever she was great and very attentive to my needs my coffee never ran out and made it to where my money is well sent“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review for Brittney at Culver’s

Brittney is hands-down one of the best parts of coming to Culver’s. She’s always so kind, thoughtful, respectful, and genuinely positive — the kind of person who can lift your whole mood in seconds. She even knows my truck at this point 😂 and always greets me like a familiar friend.
Culver’s is lucky to have someone like her. She makes every visit feel special!“

“Best steak sandwich I've ever had! I was expecting it to be good but this was amazing! Thank you guys for a fantastic lunch!!“

“it's all good!!!!!!!🥓“

“Absolutely, hands down, the most amazing food you can get in oak ridge. Their burgers are perfect every single time, their wings are absolutely fantastic and HUGE, their fries are amazing, the sauces are hand made by the amazing Chef Ken and all the employees are incredibly kind and amazing. We usually have Hector as our waiter and he is always fantastic. 100% recommend!“

“Since Panera discontinued the Italian sandwich, I have been ordering the same thing for 10 years: a deli turkey sandwich with only deli turkey, fresh mozzarella, and mayo. However, they recently discontinued that sandwich too. I asked if they could ring it up as a turkey bravo or the new Italian and substitute ciabatta for the tomato bread. Despite my specific instructions, 5 times might I add checking to make sure he got it correctly. they gave me a regular bacon turkey bravo with tomato bread, which made me very mad. I also did not receive the chips and drink I paid for. And he also did not give me a receipt It's litterly White bread, Turkey, and you can throw some mayo packets at me I don't even care if it the country white bread I even went in and ask if they could change it they refused because it was dinner time even tho I said I don't mind waiting I already waiting an hour The only item worth buying on their menu anymore is the bagels the reason I cared so much is because I have alergys to certain foods so it wasn't like I could just take it and eat it So, i will not be going back after today“

“I hate mornings and this is one restaurant I will get up early for. While I don't get to go often, it's always consistent with wonderful staff and wonderful food. Try it out anytime you're in town.“

“Great food.besting tasting ever..but for a wine bar it's way to over priced. At 44 for a bottle . I have been to alot of wine bar never paid this wine bars are big on getting you to drink more so they have half price for second bottle.but this place is nice..will go back but not buying wine.“

“I'm a former state health inspector and this is my favorite Chinese restaurant.“

“Go check them out they have really good food“

“Was ok besides I got the lobsters dream Meal And couldn’t eat my lobster the fishy smell Was so bad the garlic butter wouldn’t cover it but my salad was ok for the extra 1.99“

“The evening/ night crew on the weekends are the BEST! I went tonight ( Friday) around 5:30pm. Fast service and fast delivery of my order. Very clean and very hood food. My waitress was very friendly. and the cook was very clean and very fast with what he did. I left all three employees that were working a hood tip. It’s Christmas time and that’s what everyone should be doing this time of year. Giving . I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the OAK RIDGE Waffle House! Especially the evening and night crew!❤️“

“The food was great. They waiter wasn't very friendly, not rude, just not not friendly and not attentive. He let our dri is run out and we had to ask another waitress to send him over. They messed up part of our order, when we got the bill we could see he had put it in correctly, but the kitchen had not plated up as he had order it. Once it was straightened out it was great. My steak was great and husband liked his burger.“

“Billy B took me to Oakey’s Saturday Nite May 10th. The food was excellent and the band was great. I recommend this sports bar to everyone. It was fun.“

“The server and the cook, Jaylin and Xavier respectively, excelled during my dine-in experience here. I felt welcomed when I walked in and fully satisfied when I departed. My double BLT was perfectly assembled, and my bacon was crispy crispy. My onion rings were crunchy on the outside, yet soft on the inside. Definitely a top-tier late night eatery.“
