“The food was fresh and delicious. I had the strawberry salad and it was very refreshing and crisp. Our server, Liberty, was extremely helpful and efficient. She was nice and made sure we had everything we wanted. I give her 10 stars! I'm from California and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is in the Market Square area. We were on the patio, under the beautiful trees.“
“Easily the best burger spot in Knoxville. The unique burger combinations are also very fun and different! The Bernie is my all time favorite. The quality and quantity of food is definitely worth the prices that I find very reasonable for what you get. The duck fat fries are also a must try! They're salty and rich in the best ways possible. The space is somewhat small, so if you're going on a weekend expect for there to be a wait!“
“Run, don’t walk, to Kefi. The atmosphere is wonderful. The service has also been great both times we’ve been here. As for the food - my goodness ?. Go with friends, on a date, but whatever you do, order everything you possibly can fit in your body. It is worth it.“
“As a vegetarian, I am often disappointed by my choice at most places and feel like they are all a slightly diff spin off on the same old thing or just another “fake meat “ option or are just unhealthy fried options. That was not the case here. The choices they had were actually inventive and exciting and they tasted amazing. Def recommend urban cowboy fries and chargrilled portobello. Was also pleasantly surprised on how beautiful the area is and ended up spending some time checking out a new park.“
“Best espresso martini in town easily. Such a swanky vibe and environment. Bartender was extremely pleasant and quick to recognize when other people walked up to ensure they did not have a long wait. I will definitely be stopped back next time I'm in town!“
“We loved this place ! We decided to go there for a quick bite & drink before an event and it did not disappoint! Beer was great and food was on point . We sat down at the bar , service was quick and chef’s were very attentive. I also would like to mention the biodegradable silverware and plates they serve their food in! Good choice ?? Thank you ! We will visit you guys soon?“
“1st time there was for St Patrick's Day Eve party. Can't say enough good things about the place. Owners are both super nice and friendly as are the bartenders. Drinks we're awesome and expertly made. Highly recommend going here if you get the chance. We will be back!Tip; Try the old-fashioned.“
“I’ve come here a few times and every single time I’ve been treated great. When I go I look forward to getting to catch up with everyone. Prince, Brandon, Sherry, and Kristina do a great job and always make us feel welcomed. With that being said, there’s something special about the servers and bartenders in this restaurant. I’ll be back soon!“
“Visited the vault while on Vacation in Knoxville. Our hotel was close so we walked, but there is metered street parking, just leave some extra time to find a spot. Attire - Elevated casual. Once you enter Vida go downstairs to enter The Vault. Strongly recommend you make reservations and sit at the bar, not at the tables. Sitting at the bar counter allowed us to view all the action, and service was quicker since we ordered from the bartender. The drinks were the best of any we had in Knoxville (We also went to the Peter Kern Library and Oliver Royale and I would come back to the Vault). Great atmosphere, service and outstanding flavors for cocktails. Definitely will go back when I am in Knoxville again.“
“our service was wonderful as usual, Marisa was fantastic! we always add ourselves to the waitlist on the website on our way over. great spot for bringing out of town family, and we have been making the half an hour trip to Knoxville since moving out of downtown just to come here!“
“I'm traveling around Knoxville looking for a good bowl of gumbo. My backup plan is to look for a delicious plate of shrimp and grits. This is the reason for my first visit to this restaurant.OMG ?! I have found gold with this restaurant. They served me the best plate of shrimp and grits I have eaten in a long time! It was a huge serving with lots of jumbo shrimp and andouille sausage. The creole sauce was just spicy enough to make it perfect! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys the Charleston style shrimp and grits! I will definitely be returning!“
“This place is really fun, and it's a great place to get some cocktails in Knoxville. I don't get the strongest tropical island vibe from the bar, but it is very nice, and the cocktails didn't disappoint. The $7 happy hour cocktails were a bargain. Our bartender was kind and attentive. We will return to the Tern Club.“
“I would highly recommend this restaurant! Our server Matt was in training and did a superb job. He answered all of our questions, was very professional and personable. We enjoyed two of the chef's specialties, the beef tenderloin medallions and the Arroz con camarones. Both were cooked and seasoned to perfection. The Tenderloins were very generous portion. The shrimp were tender and sweet. Next visit we will plan on spending a little more time enjoying the Speakeasy on the lower level.“
“If you want excellent food and service ,this place is hands down the best . The place is beautiful n nice and clean inside too . Give them a try you won't be disappointed. Guy in charge there is a super nice guy n he cares about his customers experience ,not alot in town do . I'm going to miss this place when we move .“
“An amazing tasting experience. We had a great time with Ron who was very knowledgeable and eager to share all there is about the spirits. The tasting was allencompassing and we found the variety of spirits very enjoyable. Would recommend to anyone in Knoxville to come and do a tasting/tour.“
“The atmosphere is Cataleya Cantina is amazing! Our server was also very accommodating, and the food was great. My brunch burrito bowl was good, but the food my friends got was better.Parking: PlentyKid-friendliness: As a kid i found plenty of options.“
“This was our first time visiting STOR and we were very impressed! We made a reservation 10 minutes ahead of time, for a Friday night this was shocking, when we arrived we were sat immediately. Ordered the bao sliders which we were not impressed with and the manager was kind enough to refund. We ordered the filet with goat cheese ravioli which was AHmazing and the center cut filet with crispy potatoes which was also delicious. Definitely will return.“
“If you're looking to step back in time but keep modern service standards, this is the place!You'll find delightful decor, delicious drinks, and tasty bar treats (like a shockingly well-priced cheese board).While the "Rusty Nail" was more of a Scotch Old Fashioned, it was still a solid offering.“
“this was a very fun and unexpected find, stumbled upon it, and glad we did. the decor is lively, the staff is charming and the food was delicious. really enjoyed the pesto gnocchi...the pesto was rich and a bit spicy, nice touch with the roasted pignoli. also tried the pear ginger cocktail and it was refreshing as advertised. thia is a fun place I'll seek out again if i drive through knoxville again one day.Vegetarian options: the kitchen was kind enough to make mine without meat, there were other options, but how can one resist gnocchi?“
“This is a great bar! I had the Watermelon Sugar High, which, frankly, is everything you could ever want in a cocktail. The service was fantastic and the bartenders friendly, and there's plenty of room for friends to gather in the cozy spaces that look out across the best parts of the Old City. Every drink was delicious and paired perfectly with the Good Golly we brought with us (iykyk). Five stars. Ten stars! A hundred stars!“
“Ordered the nachos and check menu for ingredients and I said nothing about cilantro. Nachos came out with a huge pile of cilantro. Server was very understanding and had them re made, and they where great. Ordered burgers no tomato and onion with double fries and got tomatoes and onions on the burgers and fries and coleslaw not a big enough of an issue to send back. Burger where amazing, fries are perfect. I wish the menu had cilantro warnings on foods. FYI the Pico is he heavy with cilantro as well.“
“We love Kaizen. Aside from sometimes being able to purchase their homemade hot sauces in bottle form, which have always been great, they have really excellent food. Today I had the dan-dan noodles which have been excellent every time. Be advised that it is a cold noodle dish like you might have had with a sesame noodle or so forth. Delicious. If you are into sake and so forth they have a truly excellent collection of sake, shōchū, Japanese whisky etc. if you like dry sake I recommend Bushido - Way of the Warrior, and not just because of the name ;) It is an excellent dry sake served cold. But ask your server, we have never had anything but excellent service there. Down in Knoxville Old City where The Crown and Goose used to be, with that great outdoor space. If you are in the area highly recommend. Wife loves the bang-bang shrimp bun.“
“Lunch party of four on Saturday, greeted at door and seated immediately. Our wait staff was Emily. She met us at the table and immediately brought water and took drink orders. Mixed drinks came quickly and were well done. Food also came soon after ordering. We ate steak tarta, brisket and hamburger burrito’s, and vegetarian quesadilla. All meals were delicious. The burritos were very large. We were only able to eat one half of each. Emily continued to provide friendly and attentive service through the entire meal. We were in the back room and enjoyed the entire experience.“
“This place is a nice, refreshing establishment to stop into, especially in the summer, whether you're between bars or restaurants or you're looking for something to mix it up between bars. The service is exceptional and the owner is extremely friendly and personable!There are tons of flavors and not only can you sample before you commit, but they can mix multiple flavors to your taste as well. The place is exceptionally clean and the atmosphere is fun and inviting. Would recommend highly!“
“Service was good. The chicken salad sandwich was generally sized and pretty good. Fries were the battered kind and very crispy. Prices were quite decent for a hotel bar/ restaurant. Lobby right outside is a big and convenient place to wait or relax in for a bit. Lots of couches, some tables, and plenty of outlets“
“Don’t pass up on this absolute Knoxville institution. From the crazy amount of band and brewery insignia to the book cases of vinyl, it takes a minute to fully appreciate the fantastic decor. They have struck a chord with amazing food and drink selection. Kudos to the management and staff.Make this your next stop to grab some food, a drink, and a band!“
“We stopped in to celebrate my bestie and make up for lost time as both mine, and my husbands birthdays had passed. We all got an Unmerry Birthday shot. It was so good. The energy and photo opportunities make this place so special and unique. They have a little store across from the bar and it's filled with all kinds of neat quirky items.“
“The Tavern offers tapas as well as salads,burgers and sandwiches .We tried the White/Navy Bean and Truffle Soup of the Day and it was quite good. It was served with a savory crostini which nicely complemented it.My Partner had the Chicken Salad sandwich and Honey-Roasted Vegetables. I tried the Whiskey Bacon Burger with Fries. They use Double Gloucester Cheddar in several of their dishes.For the non-cheese aficionados, Double Gloucester Cheddar is made from full-fat cream/milk (Single Gloucester is made with skim milk) and a Double Gloucester wheel is twice the height of a Single Gloucester wheel. It is also rumored to be made from two distinct milkings.The Whiskey Bacon Burger was prepared with a Bacon Jam, which nicely incorporated the whiskey flavor in the background; the bacon was incorporated into the burger which always gives a delightful flavor throughout the burger.The Chicken Salad was likewise unique in its ingredients and was nicely balanced. The Honey-Roasted Vegetables however, were exquisite. Carrots, Broccolini, Green Beans, with White and Red New Potatoes sautéed and infused with honey and crumbled bacon. These are a favorite of both clients and staff.Overall, a most excellent Lunch. The tapas on the Lunch and Dinner Menu, are calling out to be chosen!“
“I was searching for an Asian restaurant and found this fusion restaurant. I wasn't too hungry, so I only ordered a mushroom soup and vegetable tempura. Both are excellent!! I also ordered a Groundbreaking cocktail; although they forgot about this order, they immediately made it up for another expresso martini on-house! The service was attentive, though they seemed busy. Overall, this is a great place, and I'd be happy to be back!“
“Knox box is well named as the concept is essentially a giant private karaoke box with all your new friends. I love that there is no designated spot or stage to perform! You sing where you want to. Walk around, dance in the middle, hide in the corner, sing sitting at the bar, you do you and I think that's great! I wish my favorite karaoke spot in Nashville did this. Plenty of TVs all around for the lyrics. The vibe is LGBTQ+ friendly. The crowd has a good energy. The bartenders were great and they sing too! Decent selection of beer and liquor. Prices are cheap as well. Lots of special events including drag karaoke. The queue to sing does fill up quick so get songs in early. If I have one suggestion it may be to limit or delay some repeat singers until everyone gets a chance. We went multiple times in a week and loved every visit. Great bar and a new favorite spot in Knoxville“
“One of our faves when in town. Attentive and knowledgeable server answered our questions about the menu and recommended a wonderful wine to go with our dinner selections. We ate a beef stroganoff special, curried cauliflower risotto and filet. All were wonderful. We were very happy that we saved room for dessert and ordered the caramel cake, key lime pie and Basque cheesecake. Definitely recommend! Next time will start with the charcuterie, which sounded very interesting but would not have allowed us to have room for the wonderful desserts.“
“I started visiting Firebird's for their meat loaf and they took that off the menu, so I started ordering the Cilantro Chicken and now it's part of a 3-course meal, and I don't need that much food, so last night was a very good burger. I've been very critical of the service at this Firebird's over the years, but we had Jaycie last night and she did an excellent job. One of the mangers even stopped by our table and asked how everything was and if we needed anything. My wife loves their Salmon salad, and she said it was good as always. With the menu changes, I'm not sure how many visits to Firebird's is in our future. I might try one of the pasta dishes.“
“Went to Knoxville for the weekend. Found Clancy's, great decor, nice bar, service etc. Food, mmmh not so much. The Ruben looked great. I decided on Bangers and Mash. What I got could only be described as a bowl of slop! And the Cottage/Shepards pie wasn't much better. A focus on better food presentation, taste and value is in order. Drink but don't here.“
“Did the 1 of each for the first course and the rattlesnake rabbit sausage was our favorite. She had the elk loin and I chose the bison but we both thought the elk was way better. We both got a salad, desert, 3 drinks each and shared a side. Total was about $450 but it was worth it.“
“It was our first time ever going to one of these restaurants and we decided last minute to get Italian food for our anniversary.The restaurant was closing in an hour and we decided to go anyway.The ambience was lovely, the Italian music was a nice touch, and we were greeted very enthusiastically by our server Beau. He was so friendly and didn’t seem the least bit annoyed to have us show up so late. We both have worked food service and try not to put others in the situation but with young kids we can only get out every once in a while.Beau showed to our seat right as we walked in, got us our drinks right away, and was very helpful in explaining the menu and what the favorites were as well as his personal favorites. We took his recommendation and the Esalata della Casa and the Chicken Bacon Flatbread were both delicious as appetizers.We decided to order the Margarita Pizza and the Fra Diavolo pasta. The pasta is amazing and the pizza unfortunately came out with a hair on it but my wife noticed it right away and not only did they remake it but they took the price of our order.I usually don’t care too much on service as long as it’s polite and the food is good but this time the care was exceptional and the food was amazing.We mentioned that it was our anniversary and Beau got us a dessert for free (we weren’t expecting it so it was even better). Even though they were getting close to closing he was also happy to make us a little extra bread to go since the portions are ginormous and we couldn’t finish it all.Overall I’d give it an 8/10 but if you can get Beau I’d say 10/10 go absolutely.Oh and the dessert we got (also a recommendation from Beau) was the cheesecake and it was delicious!I couldn't have asked for a better dining experience.Bravo! is an apt name for this restaurant!“
“Incredible pies and service. We also enjoyed a perfectly paired Tuscano on the patio. Beautiful food and wonderful service (Andie was on point!) even on a super busy Saturday evening! We loved the ambiance and even got to enjoy the music from the Dogwood Arts Festival.“
“Very pleased with the atmosphere and food, but most importantly the customer service. We had a wonderful experience with Kayla Nichols who works there that went above and beyond for our party providing an excellent customer experience. Very high end place with suburb customer service. We will be back!“
“Wonderful shepherds pie paired with a wedge salad and Guinness. If you're looking for authentic food from the British Isles you've found it here. Cozy bar with one television. Nice wine selection by bottle or glass. All very affordable and delicious. Loved watching Jennifer tend bar and manage the whole restaurant. Very attentive and knowledgeable staff.“
“Great place to meet and eat! We felt welcome and appreciated the moment we walked in. All of the employees were smiling, friendly and engaging. The food was delicious. We ordered a large queso dip to share and the server automatically brought extra bowls to make sharing easier - a very nice touch. Make sure to try anything with the shredded pork -- it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. We also had the best michelada EVER! Cleanliness was next level too -- the dining room and bathrooms were spotless. We will definitely be returning. Excellent Job!“
