Knoxville Restaurants

Sunspot is also a good one.

Another good choice. Wish there was a Farragut location.

I had their rattlesnake pasta when I was in Knoxville back in November and man it was killer.

Is there a consensus restaurant that everyone likes here? Any food category.

I haven't had it at Sunspot but I've had it plenty of times at Aubrey's and I like it there

Nama: Consistently serves some of the best sushi (fusion) I've had anywhere in the states. Only place that's topped it for me is a tiny joint in Lahaina, Maui called Miso Phat.

Tomato Head: Never had a bad meal at the place. Fresh, local, good service, great rotating beer selection, Benton's.

Lonesome Dove: 5-6 small plates/starters at the bar or high top has become a favorite. That mac and cheese, bruh.

Emilia: Fresh pasta, handmade, in-house. If the gnocchi is on when you visit, do yourself a favor and order double.

Cafe 4: Truffle Fries ftw!

I've only been to Emilia once, but it was great. Ditto on the Lonesome Dove Mac and cheese.

If you want a 9mm bullet with your fried chicken.


I joke, I kid!

Honestly, the place has gone way downhill and I think lunch house is better.

I read about that place, worth a visit?


Also I love the chicken at pizza palace.

The website says it's the best soul food in Knoxville.

The website isn't wrong.

Pizza Palace... oh the madness. They need to start accepting credit cards along with Sam and Andy's.

 

[doozer]

Harder to launder money when you take credit/debit cards.

 

[bigdaddy]

Sam and Andys on Broadway takes cards

Yep, that is always a burden. I'm not a cash guy.

Big Eds was like that, too. It was super annoying to have to hit an ATM before dinner.

Kay's ice cream was cash only too. I haven't been there in 5 years, not sure if it is still like that.

Maybe you're on to something.

 

[WallyBalls]

Meh, I almost always pay cash in restaurants if at all possible.

More secure and the server's seem to prefer it.

Went back to Full Service BBQ in Farragut after enjoying the loaded nachos. I grabbed the pulled pork meal for 5 with baked beans, mac'n'cheese, and fries. Everyone LOVED it and I agree. Absolutely the best bbq I have had in Knoxville and the fries are amazing. There was enough pork for 6 sandwiches and none of us are shy about piling on the pork so they don't skimp.

I would have to eat it side by side with Bread of Heaven to see which I prefer but I would be happy with either.

Was not at all impressed with the sides I had. Potato salad and beans. Tasted like Kroger deli stuff. The meats are good but I like the ribs at Sweet Ps better and the sauce

Potato salad is generally a big pain in the ass to make scratch in a restaurant. Especially one that doesn't offer baked potatoes or potatoe skins. Generally, places are going to get it in premade.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

I liked the actual BBQ from full service. The sides though didn't win me over.
