21 Best Breakfast Restaurants in Knoxville

“Favorite breakfast spot in all of Knoxville! Whatever you get will be your new favorite! I make sure that everyone who visits or is just passing through makes their way there. Matt has made me, and anyone I bring in, feel very welcomed on the many outings to his restaurant. Matt is a true craftsman and obviously loves what he does. There’s nothing better than waking up, knowing that it’s time for a Matt Robb’s biscuit. ∞/5 stars. Couldn’t recommend it more“

“My wife and i visited this morning and were thoroughly disappointed. The food was not what we enjoyed a year ago. We live out of town and so looked forward to our meal. Potato casserole was part of my order and cold and nasty tasting. Omelet was filled with unidentifiable contents. The pancake my wife ordered was adequate. Very disappointing compared to our last visit.“

“This is hands down the best WF I have been to. Super clean. Everyone in uniform. And professional. The line cook who was on, was busy, but her quality of food was great.But MVP goes to Cholee. Super nice. Calls the menu you in a radio announcer tone. Her customer service was above and beyond.The rest of the team worked well. Great job everyone!“

“The store was busy as all get out people where in line out the door and a cute red headed lady was running the place like a general leading the troops to battle she sent one waitress per each flank and I swear those hashbrownd didn't know what hit em they found themselves scattered, smotherd and coverd before they knew what hit em and to add insult to injury that cute red headed waitress/cook chopped pepperd cappd and finally topped like nobody's buisness. I do declare that fine little red headed filly then comensed singing the waffle house song while she washed every dish in the place 3 times all by herself. I've neve0r00 been 0s0o impressed by any waffle house crew as I was this one that girl was a well oiled machine I tell ya lubed in all the right spots why if I could I would make that filly an honest woman and court that lovely lady I'd be a mite more agreeable if I had me a woman like that I think I heard someone call her Marie or Ham or somethin they shore did get em a humdinger Hirrin that Philly belive me you“

“There's something special about waffle House. It's more than the sum of its parts. Yes the food is just average yes it's loud Yes it's crowded. But all of that adds up and gives it its charm. Prices are extremely reasonable. We've never had bad service. we've never had slow service. we've never had bad food. we've never had a long wait we've never had anything negative here. And we come once a week. It's like breakfast + a show.“

“A Sunday Morning Delight at Maple Street Biscuit Company.. I visited Maple Street Biscuit Company on a bustling Sunday morning, and despite the crowd, the experience was nothing short of delightful. The moment you walk in, the lively atmosphere envelops you, setting the stage for a truly homey dining experience.The star of the show was undoubtedly the biscuits with gravy and eggs—each bite was a perfect blend of fluffy, buttery goodness topped with rich, creamy gravy and perfectly cooked eggs. Even amidst a busy setting, the staff managed to be attentive, ensuring that every guest felt welcomed and taken care of.Finding a spot to sit was surprisingly easy, considering the crowd, which speaks volumes about the restaurant's efficient layout and service. Overall, Maple Street Biscuit Company proves to be a must-visit spot for anyone craving a hearty, comforting breakfast in a warm and inviting environment. It's clear why this place is popular: they turn the simple into the sublime. Worth every minute of the wait!“

“very nice and quick staff. I will try and stop here again“

“As usual it's great food and the one on cedar bluff has great service also!!“

“Great food, great staff! Thank you all“

“I love this restaurant they have delicious food“

“I love the food at first watch. But today I had to take it Togo because I couldn’t get adequate service to take care of my toddlers needs. I literally just needed my server to acknowledge the fact that I was staring him down to get something for my toddlers meal. I had to go to the service area to grab Togo boxes. And I had to get the cashier to get the other thing I needed. Because standing up and staring at the server was not enough. Not a single other person stopped by either. This is way different than the years I spent working with first watch.“

“Visiting from out of town and drove a little out of the way for breakfast. Very glad we did! Service was great, and the food was excellent. Maple chicken bacon biscuit was just the right size and all of our group thought the food hit the spot.“

“First time at a Waffle House and it did not disappoint! Not only was there a decent amount of food for the low cost! The food was delicious, and came out quick! The staff was absolutely amazing, welcoming and extremely friendly! I would strongly recommend to stop here and try the delicious food with the family or a late night after the bars!!!“

“The folks at this location are amazing! My daughter is headed home for the holidays. She’s been traveling the United States in a van she converted into a camper. She was staying in Robbins, TN where her traveling buddy (dog) was attacked by a wild boar. She arrived at the emergency vet late last night & her buddy, Gunner, is receiving in house vet care. He has a very long road ahead of him to recover, but the vet is very positive he’ll eventually get there. My daughter came in for breakfast this morning before heading back to the vet to see Gunner. My daughter is understandably an emotional mess right now. She contacted me to tell me the ladies at this Waffle House took care of her bill for her food. You ladies touched her more than you know. The vet bill is going to be staggering but there is nothing she won’t do for her companion. As her Mom you’ll never know how much that means to me that you did this for her. I’m in Michigan and can’t be there with her in person to comfort & watch out for her through this. Y’all are proof that there are still great people in this world. Thank you so very much!! ❤️ God Bless, Deb“
