50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Knoxville

“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.“

“One of Knoxville’s rare food gems! I don’t even love sourdough but I gave it a try and I am so glad I did! The fresh ingredients, wine selection, and flavors make this the best pizza place in town.“

“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. Food was fantatsic.The service and atmosphere was even better. Davin was our server and I couldn't say enough positive things about our experience. Will be back for sure!“

“Great staff and great food!“

“I've had Kefi on my radar for about a month, thanks to some local pals who've been hearing about it as well. Finally, last Sunday rolled around, and we thought, "Why not?" Well, let me tell you, it was a culinary rollercoaster of joy! Our server was like a food whisperer, guiding us through the menu with such finesse. And the food? Oh, the food! It was like a symphony of flavors dancing on my taste buds. Now, I recently traded the sunny vibes of California for Knoxville, and let's just say, I was worried about missing out on the restaurant scene. But Kefi? It's like a beacon of hope amidst a sea of food uncertainty. We only stopped ordering because, well, our stomachs waved the white flag of surrender. But fear not, dear Kefi, I shall return! There are still menu treasures waiting to be discovered. So, until next time, Kefi, keep those delicious delights coming!“

“Such a fun place. Food is really good for the type of place it is. I love that they have their menu and you can order from Bit Burger and it is delivered to you at Token.People that take your orders are always friendly and take good care of your food and drink needs.Lots of fun games to play.Parking: Lots of spots, but most are across the street in the open lot.“

“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.“

“1st time and definitely won’t be my last. Food was great, service was great and restaurant was clean and nice. Everyone was friendly“

“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“

We look forward to coming again!“

Thanks for the amazing food experience.“

“Great place to eat. Pert…….“

“We had a beautiful, romantic anniversary dinner here just a few days ago and the food and service was amazing! Thank you Jenna! My only complaint was I decided to take my lamb home so they boxed it for me and when I got home to eat my food, they didn’t give me any mint sauce so unfortunately I didn’t eat the lamb. I would definitely highly recommend this place. The atmosphere was great just wish I didn’t have to waste my lamb.“

“two visits in two weeks. First time here, and let me tell you the staff was tied with firebirds for best in Tn so far. Personality, knowledge of the food, courteous, and then some. They shared, making sure we were tended to and acknowledging the bartender as well as each other. Former owners of a pub saying A plus plus. Did traditional a with two sauces and a flight to try more flavors. And the chips, all great. Clean bathrooms, and there is outside seating if you want. We will be back to try it all, huge menu! Second trip, first was bar none the best service I have ever had. Even stood up to our service at Firebirds. Food was a 5 out of 5 for a party of two. This time service was a 4 of 5. Food was a 5 of 5 again, but really missed how last time they mentioned the bartenders name and the other staff, knowledge of the menu, it was our first time, this our second. Loren was the bomb, Lizzy was really good. Be sure to tip for great service, excited happy servers promote and deliver better.“

“Great food and service you will not be disappointed“

“We stumbled upon Forno grill a few years ago after moving out to Knoxville and boy were we happy! As former NYer’s we tend to seek out the most similar pizza to match back home and this certainly is it. The restaurant is always immaculate and the staff are all super friendly and helpful. Every year for my children’s birthdays we provide pizzas for their class party and we use Forno grill ofcourse. They have always taken good care of me each time I’ve ordered. We are very happy to have such an amazing business close to us. Thank you for always providing top notch service and the most delicious pizzas around :)“

“Absolutely love this place.I have eat at a lot of buffets over the years and I can truthfully say thus is by far the best one hands down.The food is fresh, hot and very tasty. Everything from steak to chicken to fish to pinto beans and cornbread,Absolutely delicious. Fried chicken livers and about any kind of vegetable that you could want as well as baked potatos or baked sweet potatoes.All of the employees that you need to deal with for service are always friendly and polite.I would give it 10 out of 5 stars.Yes it's that good!!!“

“Toby W served us our delicious dinner and he was amazing! Thank you Toby for serving us no different than other especially when we are deaf and you handled our order beautifully! We will be back and hopefully will see you!I had Knox Burger with fries, my hubby had Big Tex burger with onion rings. They were big portioned so the prices were reasonable. This is at Powell location.“

“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).“

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

“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!“
