“I had the special today... fried pork chop platter with greens, mac n cheese, and extra side of fried okra. It was absolutely amazing food and super friendly service. I love this place! They're so many things I want to try!“

“Great waitress , great fiod“

“We went to the mall to walk and have dinner last night. We had never seen this place but decided to try it out! I had the pulled pork sandwich with cornbread and chips, and my husband had the pulled pork sandwich with cornbread, baked beans and coleslaw. It was very good southern BBQ. I loved the sweet cornbread because it was just the right amount of sweet and not dry. It was a very good change from your typical mall food court options. They are locally owned and not a chain and a great place to take a break from the busyness of the mall. They are located just across from Great American Cookie Company next to the Cinnebare entrance. The customer service was amazing! I highly recommend this restaurant, and we will be back!“

“They have the BEST gluten free Mac & Cheese I've ever had!! The brisket on top was phenomenal as well. Gabe was our server and was a delightful young man and host. Overall? 12/10, highly recommend!“

“We decided to give them a try for the first time and it was INCREDIBLE. Literally everything! We got a few things to try to capture the full experience and everything was amazing. I might have to plan an event just to have them cater because that Turkey rib changed my life! We also tried the ribs and the brisket both of which were magic! Highly recommended for a great bbq experience and such a friendly staff!“

“This is the best BBQ in Knoxville. I’ve had the pulled pork, pulled chicken, brisket and all the sides. The cakes are made from scratch. Most important this is a family owned small business and the people are so very nice and accommodating.“

“I ate at the Lenoir City location earlier today for lunch. I had the pork dinner and everything was good except the French fries. They were severely under cooked. They should encourage the staff to use a timer for the fryer and even test them before serving them. Today was disappointing.“

“A cool place to grab some food. The draft beer list was very limited. They were out of a lot. My food tasted great, though portions seemed a little small if you're really hungry. Definitely try to sauces, they're all great. Server seemed a little inexperienced and couldn't give many suggestions. Food came out fast and fresh.“

“Had a great impromptu lunch at the bar! Fish & Chips was abundant and delicious. (My only suggestion is to add a small side of peas.) Loved seeing Clinch River Monster on tap, and enjoyed their Ace of Cups imperial cider. And Qy was a terrific server/bartender: cheerful, knowledgeable, attentive. Will return for sure!“

“Our waiter, Jai, at the Pigeon Forge location was the best. He was polite, attentive and extremely efficient. When we arrived on a very cold, TN afternoon, he noticed us linger by the fireplace and immediately served a cup of hot coffee. Please know that he is an asset to your business.“

“On Tuesday, July 29th I decided to take my wife, kids and grandchild out for a good dinner (7 total). Famous Dave's did not disappoint! We were greeted warmly at the door and seated very quickly. With us having so many people, we ordered the All American barbecue feast, order of wings, fried pickles and egg rolls. Oh, and an extra order of those stupindoesly delicious muffins! Our food didn't take long to hit the table and man, was it good! Everything from the corn on the cob to the brisket was fresh and hot. Everyone raved about the new egg rolls but, my favorite was the beans, ribs and muffins. Our server made sure we had everything we needed and was super nice and helpful. There isn't a single thing I could even remotely complain about when it comes to our wonderful dinner at Dave's. We had a good time, good food and made some good memories!“

“After reading recent reviews, I was unsure I made I good choice for dinner. I'm happy I took the chance though! I ordered the Hogbacks potato with pork and a side of coleslaw. The potato was huge, the pork was tender, and my special requests were followed through on. Food was awesome! Sad to see some others haven't had the most positive experiences lately but don't let that detour you. I will definitely order from them when in the area in the future.“

“Party of 5, wait wasn't too long, enjoyed a sangria at the bar which was amazing! The oinon appetizer was great! Chopsteak, so yummy gravy with caramelized onion and mushrooms. Ribeye was perfect as well as lobster tail! Would recommend! Service was awesome and atmosphere wasn't bad at all.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had an amazing dining experience at LongHorn Steakhouse in Farragut! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm and welcoming. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and ensured our meal was perfect.

The steaks were cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The Parmesan Crusted Chicken and Flo’s Filet were absolute highlights. The sides, especially the loaded baked potato and seasoned asparagus, complemented the main dishes perfectly.

The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, ideal for a casual night out or a special occasion. The restaurant was clean, and the staff worked seamlessly to provide top-notch service.

I’ll definitely be returning soon and highly recommend this location to anyone craving a fantastic steakhouse experience!“

“Amazing and perfect service. Very friendly and nice. The food was just amazing. Love it here.“

“I have wanted a steak from here for a month. Husband ordered me the 8oz Medium well. I immediately went to cut it and it was rare. I mean blood pouring out. I can't eat rare or even Medium cooked steaks. There was one little piece that was medium well on the end. Thought I would eat it. NOPE, hard as a rock. What is wrong with people and the way they cook. I have the ticket that says Medium Well. let's just say it wouldn't have been pretty if I was in the restaurant eating. Thanks for nothing. At least I ate the salad and two rolls. FYI, Husband's Prime rib was good to him.“
