“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.“

“First time here and it did not disappoint.Definitely get the hush puppies to start. We split the ribeye with potato puree and brussels as sides.

The best I've ever had! the ice cream is so creamy and fresh every time I've been there! My whole and extended family love this place and my 16 year old granddaughter says the ice cream is the best she's ever had...and that's saying something! Everyone..please come and see what all the hype is about!!“

“Genuinely one of the best meals I’ve had in my life! I ate here over a month ago and am still thinking about how great it was.

If I’m ever around the Knoxville area I’ll for sure be stopping in!“

Buffalo trace , welled reserve, Blanton’s, and to finish it off with some Taylor! Man, that sounded like a great choice! This is place is on my Must revisit!“

“Came to 71 South after my son in law took us on a tour one night. My wife and I stopped in for dinner one night and it didn’t disappoint. The food is remarkably amazing and the staff is very friendly, unlike a certain place just up the street from here. My wife and I love it so much that this is now our place to come once or twice a month. If you’re nearby, stop on in and give it a try. You will not be disappointed.“

“I'm so glad that Landing House exists and even better that it's in South Knox. It's a regular go-to for girls nights, date nights, or even takeout. The drinks are magic and the atmosphere and service are lovely and welcoming. I've enjoyed every food I've tried there but absolutely recommend that you try the spring rolls, pork rinds, and cold noodle bowl. They even have bomb housemade kimchi and various sauces that you can purchase to stock your fridge and they package your takeout sustainably. This is definitely one of my favorite establishments in Knoxville and can't say enough good things about them. 10/10“

“Great food and service. All the courses were fresh and tasty.“

“Cruze Farms in East Knoxville is a gem. The ice cream is dope - rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor.But what sets it apart is the inviting atmosphere and the exceptional service. It's more than just a dessert spot; it's an experience worth savoring.Just a heads up, it’s best to plan on eating outside. There are some seating spots inside, but they fill up pretty quick.“

“Amazing cookies! This is our favorite place!“

“Shout out to the bartender, Tara. You were absolutely phenomenal during our visit! Keep making those amazing White Russians!!“

“I cooked in a Mediterranean restaurant for 2 years in college. This place slaps. The spicy gyro flavor profile was fire, I couldn't stop eating it, perfectly seasoned. The Felafel and Tahini was amazing. Totally inclusive environment, everyone was friendly and the service was great, we absolutely love it. We will definitely be returning. Thanks for the amazing food experience.“

“Great place to eat and have wonderful service! Shoutout to my new favorite waitress Kielii Chacon!“

“Awesome Korean food with great friendly service by Nicky N!!“

“Originally from WV, currently live in knoxville (2 years). Five years later, this is still my favorite place. Tyelo and Kyle are the best!“

“So yummy! Everything was fresh and delicious.“

“Amazing first visit for hubby and mine anniversary on 5/28/22. Our server Konnor was wonderful and friendly, never felt ignored even though they were busy. Escargot was the best we’d ever had. Truffle fries to die for. Duo of duck and trout almandine fantastic entrees. Make sure to save room for dessert! Wonderful crème brûlée for myself and profiteroles for hubby (I did not try since am GF). Cocktails also delish although the whiskey sour could use some work/sprucing up. Can’t wait to return!!“

“Mooyah...burger joint par excellence! Everything I have ever eaten there is fresh (prepared after you order) and perfectly seasoned. Service is friendly and engaged with the guests. But wait, there's more. I challenge you to try their chocolate shakes which are not dispensed out of a machine. I'd be shocked if you didn't say, "The best I ever had!"“

“It was my first visit and there were so many choices I didn't know where to start. I asked the gentleman working there to just please make one for me. As he made it, he'd ask if diary was okay, spicy sauce, etc. Antonio made THE PERFECT bowl. It was delicious! Thank you, Antonio!“

“Gosh is one of my all-time Knoxville favorites! The first time I ate here, I literally came back 24 hours later. I always get the gosh combo with lamb and it is so flavorful. I always make sure to show my friends this place when they visit and they've only had good things to say. The coffee is great too!“

“Yummy food but very busy. Service was a little slow. I had Bubbas Benny which included pork bellies and collard greens along with their hash browns. Hash browns were a little different. The wife went for traditional eggs with sausage and rustic white bread. They had some banana pudding to sample while you waited. $4 for bottomless coffee seemed high.“

“Best donut shop in town! The owner always goes above and beyond.“

“This was our first visit to First Watch. We had three in our group. Our food and drinks were delicious. We plan on going back.Vegetarian options: Options available.Parking: Parking in front and around nearby businesses.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible. Wheelchair accessible seating.“

“Not only are the cinnamon rolls good, but the Not a Roll is so good. I got a banana with peanut butter frosting and chocolate chips and I honestly enjoyed it more than a classic cinnamon roll. Their frosting flavors are amazing and there are lots of options. This place is great for satisfying a sweet tooth!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options!“

“Great food… Great atmosphere… Great staff…“

“Have not found anything bad on the menu.“

“Delish! Made fresh! The owner is amazing and the food is healthy based! Highly recommend it to the folks on the go! Stop in and grab dinner to pop in the oven or microwave whatever your time allows! It’s their cookies and banana bread that hooked me! They have quite a variety too!“

“My husband and I had breakfast there recently, and it was a delight! It felt sort of old-fashioned to me, it was quiet the service was great, and the food was even better!“

“Not enough good things to say about Brown Bag! Honestly I can't understand some of the non-5 star reviews that say the food is just "ok." Brown Bag's food is excellent tasting AND healthy! Not to mention they are insanely generous with the Brown Bag Blessing program. To top it off, they give a crazy generous military discount. I've also had the catering several times and the food is great. Give it a try in restaurant or for catering and you won't be disappointed.“

“Went to a bicycle related event yesterday and it was amazing. It’s just the right kind of feel that I was looking for. There’s also a bike lane leading directly there from UTK. Love it!“

“Absolutely amazing experience. We visit the area often as my parents live nearby. This was one of the best meals we’ve had! Michael, our server was fantastic. Attentive but not overbearing. We enjoyed some appetizers (Brussels) and the artichoke dip. We then split the schnitzel. Everything was seriously perfection. Let’s not even talk about the warm crusty bread with whipped sweet butter. Could have eaten just that and been completely satisfied! Then our waiter asked if we wanted desert. We were so full but had to at least look. Could not pass up the crème brûlée chocolate cheesecake. oh-emm-geeee! Also the drinks we enjoyed—slushy concord colado and the cold fashioned. They were spectacular! We will be back before we head home and will be dreaming of this place until our next visit! (Be sure to check out their happy hour specials! We came early on a weekday and it was not crowded but I imagine it would be crowded later or on weekends).“

“We discovered this spot for breakfast and it feels like we hit the jackpot every single time. The food is just delicious and everyone there is super friendly. I am confident if you give this place a try that you too will find your permanent breakfast spot. Enjoy!!“

“Queso taco are the best! We love this food truck. We've tried the regular tacos, burrito, quesadilla and everything was great. Hard to understand the lady taking orders ? but we usually call a head and it's ready within 10 minutes. Sometimes the line is too long to order and wait.“
