People are always drunk when they eat there.

Yes.

I guess so. I never confused Krystal or Taco Bell with Ruth's Chris, though. Speaking of, why did it not make the list? You trying to keep it indigenous to Knoxville?

I agree with #1. But I heard they are moving Nama down to the unit next to Regal Cinema and are expanding the menu to include sandwiches and stuff. If they do that Nama is ruined.

And even though it's a chain... I do like Ruth's Chris for the overall dining experience. But the steaks at Ye Olde are great and in a much more relaxed atmosphere.

I guess I am just spoiled with this place in Jackson called Sakura, but I thought Nama was just way too exspensive. However it still was good stuff.

Overpriced? maybe. probably.

Llot of memories from that place. Consider how close it was to the dorm, it was a great stop on the way home from Ivy's beer bust or Gabby's 3-4-1. Plus Gus would sell you a 6 any time.

Haven't tried Savelli's. Better than Altruda's?

Savelli's is good if you don't mind several failed HD scores the last few years. Altruda's is good if you enjoy your sweat to smell like garlic for a couple of weeks.
Naples, though not mentioned, is the worst of the bunch. Carrabas, even though a chain, is the best we have right now in the italiano dept.

Carraba's only exists because a portion of the population is too damn lazy to microwave a can of Chef Boyardee at home.

Believe it or not, almost everything at Carrabba's is made from scratch. Of course it's a assembly line type of corporate menu but comments like that should be reserved more for Olive Garden.

very good list. Savelli's is one of my favorites. id replace Harbys with Tomatohead though if you can tolerate the people that eat there

Hey hat, you should have just told people that their opinions weren't welcome in your OP.

Their opinions are perfectly welcome. However, if I think they are built on inaccurate premises or simply stupid, I reserve the right to rip them. I would have thought you bright enough to have figured that out by now.

The Chef Boyardee hyperbole emphasizes my point. For as many eat joints as ktown has, the choice in Italian eats is sadly lacking.

If any Oregonians want a true redneck immersion experience, can't miss Wild Wings off Campbell Station. Reddest necks in town!

Dead End Barbecue on Sutherland Ave. isn't bad, though I will confess to not having a particularly sophisticated palate. I've also never had a bad experience at Silver Spoon Cafe.

Barely's pizza is king for me...

Connor's is pretty damn good, Bonefish as well.

Dead End BBQ is awesome.

Just ignore the health score.

Just a few more to round off a pretty good list.

1. Rankin's (Central Ave.): Best meat and three in the city not named Chandler's.
2. Elidio's Pizza (Central Ave. Pike): Best pizza for money and time taken to get a pie in front of you.
3. Senor Taco (Broadway): My favorite Mexican joint in town. Incredible carnitas
4. Cafe 4 (Market Square): I always feel like a yuppie eating there, but boy is it good.
5. Old College Inn (Cumberland Ave.): Good burger, neat atmosphere.
6. Half Barrel (Cumberland Ave.): Love it. Food is good for a bar, and beer selection stellar
7. Sunspot (Cumberland Ave.): Neat menu and killer hummus.
8. Vol Market # 3 (Western Ave.) Great hot dog and best Arnold Palmer around.
9. Stop and Go Deli (Dandridge Ave. at Five Points) Everything I have eaten there is good. Best soup beans ever.
10. Ott's (Kingston Pike past Farragut) Acquired taste, and not quite like the original. But different kind of bbq you have to try once
