“I’m from the west cost where authentic Mexican is common. This is the best Mexican food in Knoxville bar none. If you like Mexican go here!“

“This has become our favorite for Mexican food! Everyone there is so nice, and the food is fantastic! They give really good portions, and every dish we've tried over multiple visits has been flavorful and perfectly cooked. I'd eat there at least 3 times a week if I could get away with it! 🤤“

“Our family had the pleasure of dining at the Gatlinburg, TN location. We have a non-verbal, special needs son who uses a wheelchair. They made us feel welcomed by seating us at a perfect table that was accessible and yet out of the way to accommodate his wheelchair. Thank you to the seating hostess for accommodating us! 💜 Then we had a wonderful server by the name of Mark! He provided excellent service, made sure that our son felt welcomed, and made sure our son had a wonderful meal that he enjoyed very much! We explained our son's dietary restrictions and Mark did a excellent job at making recommendations for our son's meal. The excitement our son had from his first bite of the Neva's Potatoes was priceless! His face lit up with excitement, scooched his wheelchair closer, and leaned in closer over the potatoes. lol Kinda wished we had gotten extra potatoes for him to have again later. He was just as excited while eating his leftovers too! Thank you to our server Mark and Chesapeake's for the wonderful meal and accomodating our family. We highly recommend this restaurant! 🥰“

“Tucker was amazing enjoyed his knowledge and attitude“

“Very good place to eat!!! All the staff are super friendly!!! Food was delicious!!!“

“Disappointed in the pricing and the idea that you don't get 2 sides. And even if I get a salad as my side I still had to pay extra. Could not read the name of our server it looks as if it started with a B. He did a great job. Receipt number was SSBH 1VV5 CN79. Knoxville Tn. Kingston pike.“

“Best place I've eaten by far. Great food all around. Disappointed they took away the king crab legs BUT still my favorite place to eat. All their meats are perfectly cooked.“

“charisma is the best waitress! great food, fast delivery, no watered down tequila!!! love it!!“

“The whole experience was pleasant and the food was absolutely delicious.“

“Food was very good and large portions, to which I give it a 9 out of 10; when waitress presented the bill, she stood there while we looked at the bill and added a tip to the paperwork. We always tip restaurant staff, however it was quite uncomfortable when we reviewed the bill and decided how much the tip should be...just sayin'.“

“This was my first time visiting this location. The service was absolutely excellent. We had a large party of twelve people, but the waiter and waitress kept everything moving quickly. My drink was constantly full. The food came out amazing. One of the best steaks I've had. Definitely save room for dessert.“

“I will begin by saying that this was an absolutely brilliant dining experience. The food was phenomenal, the service and general hospitality was top notch and the atmosphere was laid back and casual.

I'm quite shocked by a lot of these reviews, mainly the ones that are complaining about the price. Please tell me where in Knoxville, or really most metropolitan areas, that you can get all you can eat Raw oysters, two different kinds of mussels, crab legs, smoked salmon, a variety of cold salads and the best Clam chowder this side of the Mason Dixon line for under $50 a person???

BUT WAIT!!!! Also included in that price are at least three different kinds of cooked fish, a chicken option, prime rib cooked to perfection (with or without a savory aus jus, raw horseradish or horseradish sauce), a fresh pasta station and a variety of desserts, which are also all you can eat (if you're simply greedy) and a beverage as well??? The answer is nowhere. Quit showing how utterly cheap you are while giving your review.

The service was incredible. Everyone worked as a team, our server, Gavin, was incredible on his knowledge and attentiveness without being annoying and everyone we came in concert with that worked here was incredibly friendly without being fake. Also, the buffet was constantly being refreshed the entire time we were there. Kudos to the back of the house.

The seafood buffet, all though estranged from the menu after the pandemic is a Knoxville staple and has been for decades. When I did standup in the 90s I would stay at The Radison, which is now Crown Plaza, just for the seafood buffet alone. It was $35 then (30+ years ago) and didn't have as many options as it currently does now. Not to mention, it's way better now. Again, stop complaining about the price.

Set in an incredibly nice hotel, with a lounge on the first floor, Mahogany's is a flight of stairs above with natural light from the high windows, with a decent, but obstructed view of downtown Knoxville and a semi quiet tone to the restaurant in general. Reservations are highly recommended.

In closing, outside of the house white wine, everything was pure perfection and will be a regular monthly destination for me and my wife. I highly recommend this establishment.“

“My visit to Red Lobster is proof that the most valuable asset of a business is the employees. Brittany W. was not only prompt and good at anticipating what we might need, she also made suggestions of menu choices my sister and I did not notice. But best of all, her wonderful sense of humor created a warm circle of acceptance that transformed the usual restaurant meal into a fun pleasurable feeling of a FAMILY“

“We were here celebrating Fathers Day. We love this restaurant but I was disappointed with my 10 oz ribeye. We were there June 17, 2025. My husband ordered the 7 oz sirtion & it was much thicker & larger than my ribeye. The ribeye I was served was very thin. This is unusual for the Chophouse cause I always order the 10 oz ribeye & it is always spot on.We celebrate special occasions here & love it. The house salad is amazing. Hopefully I won’t be disappointed the next time I order ribeye. Thank you Kathy Adderholdt“

“We had lunch mid week. Excellent service from greeter to server. Manager cruised through to check on us. We requested an entree only served at dinner and the chef graciously accommodated. Food was outstanding. Shrimp and grits were perfect. Lobster crab cakes presentation was as good as the taste. I’m from the Gulf Coast and very picky about seafood. The crab bisque was delicious as well. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“2nd time here! It's great food and wait staff doesn't rush , nor do I. Very relaxing“

“Great service and great food!! The staff and the manager make sure you enjoy your meal and your evening. We will definitely be back ?“

“Everything we’ve ever ordered is flavorful and delicious: Filet, Sirloin, Chicken Bryan, Chicken Pollo Maria, Salmon, any of the pasta dishes. Then choose the $10 Take Home, get an entree to go for only $10–you’ll thank yourself when you’re enjoying more scrumptious food another day.“

“Great service.. great food...“

“We husband and I celebrated Valentine’s Day at Fleming’s. This was our first experience, and it was wonderful! My filet was cooked perfectly. Chelsea was an awesome server! We will be back!“

“I stopped in today just to try this place out and it did not disappoint. I can't wait to come back . It was so good I ordered a to go order for tonight as well. The staff was super friendly as well“

“I just want to share that we ALWAYS get our seafood from here. Yesterday we went to pick up a 20 person shrimp boil from them bay to find out someone had overheard our IN STORE order a few days before when we ordered it and that person who was behind us in line arrived at the shrimp dock at opening, gave the workers our name, and made off with our Pre made 20 person boil that we had already paid for. The staff were so shocked and we Felt horrible for them. They QUICKLY threw together another 20 person boil and they were apologetic and very accommodating. They know me and recognized that we shop there and they were so nice. I can't say enough about how well they handled it. To the person that scammed this small business. SHAME on you. This business did NOT deserve this.“

“The food tasted great and very fresh. we had a ton of fun getting dirty too lol“

“I’ve been wanting to stop here for ever and I’m so glad I finally did!! Very very clean, friendly service. Very delicious food. 10 out of 10!!!!!“

“🐙 seafood menu is extensive. my octopus + shrimp was cooked delightfully. the many salsa options was excellent. I am a queso afìcionado. the queso was delicious. next trip I will get the grilled whole octopus. Happy to have found an authentic Mexican seafood place 🤍 good service.“

“Have eaten there three times and had one to go order. Very pleased each time with the food and service. Very reasonably priced also.“

“Lived in Seoul a dozen years. This place takes me back there. No better Korean food within 200 miles!“

“The food here is amazing, the fish in the battered chicken both are absolutely delicious, this is probably the best chicken I've ever ate, they cook it just right it is so tender and so juicy I absolutely love it!!! Keep up the good work!!!“

“We stopped by the Captain D’s on Kingston Pike yesterday while shopping & was the worst experience we’ve ever had. First, my husband ordered the meal with the 24 fried shrimp & fish; he counted 8; he also ordered the butterfly shrimp add-on which would expect to be on the plate & since it came in a box,“

“JesusChristHeals. JesusChristHeals. Jesus Christ Heals?“

“It was very fast service! Very clean! And the food was hot & delicious!!“

“I stopped here with my husband and Mother-in-law and wow. The food was amazing and we all have enough from a combo meal each to all eat another two or three times!!! Even my mother-in-law gave samples of her orange chicken and bragged on how delicious it was. My husband got the Bourbon Chicken and I got my all time favorite Moo Goo Gai Pan. The egg rolls are double size!!! We are so pleasantly stuffed and smiling ear to ear. We all 3 recommend Panda Garden to everyone who wants delicious Chinese food. So thankful to have been led there by Google. Definitely going there when we go thru Knoxville needing to stop and get some good food.“
