Eating and Drinking in Knoxville (merged)

Not sure if this place has already been discussed, because I don't want to read through.

Ate at Latitude 35 in Market Square a few weeks ago, absolutely terrible. However they do have good beer prices. Might be somewhere you want to go if you just want to drink, but the food was outrageously bad. Also, the AC was out that day and it was about 96 degrees in there. Wasn't enjoyable.

I had a pretty tasty Cobb Salad there during Sundown, but I can't speak for anything else.

Interesting. I actually enjoyed my meal there a couple of weeks ago (Cedar Plank Salmon), and some friends said their meals were good, as well. Really, it's a great idea for Market Square (the "upscale sports bar"). Maybe they are just getting it together...a lot of new restaurants go through some growing pains.

Over 29 pages of posts and not one mention of steamed deli sandwiches? I survived on steamed roast beef / smoked cheddar / dark bread delis from Sam & Andys and other similar delis during my years at UT in the mid 1970's. I have not ever seem them any other place since I graduated and we make a point to hunt down a deli every time we are through Knoxville.

I eat at Nixon's from time to time. Great steamed subs.

In 6 years at UT I ate at Gus's twice.

Hey guys I was directed to this thread... I am a life long football and college football fan born and raised in Canada, and I'm heading to Nashville on the 18th of October and plan on driving up to Knoxville for the game on Saturday. Any tips on how to have fun in the area? Any must visit spots?

Hello White Out. Glad you could come down and join us in big orange country. You're probably not going to have time for it but the Cherohala Skyway and Tellico River is worth seeing in the fall (about an hour south of Ktown). Hope you have a great time in TN my friend.

the menu is solid top to bottom. it's hard to go wrong with anything and hard to go wrong with your favorite.

sounds like the owner and the chef had a falling out .. I was told that they spent a loooot of $$$ in renovations ... I guess you get to write that off as a loss???

are you talking about the one that used to sit at the corner of morrell and kingston pike .. wasn't it a round building?

I used to enjoy the terrace tap house theater (is that right?) at homberg ... I think they used to sell pitchers ...

I miss the grungy, delapidated theaters ... :cray:
