Knoxville's Yassin's Falafel House named 'Nicest Place in America'

His food is even better than he is, if that’s even possible.

I'm going to have to go check out that addition to their menu!

It's a special so you might go soon!

Ate lunch on top of McCloud mountain just outside of LaFollette this weekend, very cool place and the view is spectacular.

Been meaning to get up there, how was the lunch?

Went to the new Big Kahuna last week. Very good. As I don't like very much sauce, but I do like the taste of buffalo for buffalo wings, I did the combination of the fire blend and the mild sauce. Small amount of sauce given per order, but it was plenty for me. Very tasty.

I had the pretzles and beer cheese and a bison burger...both were delicious. Just know you have to make a reservation even for lunch.

I actually made it to the new location on Friday at about 5pm. Plenty of available seating. Had some wings, and they were excellent. I am a big fan of dry rub wings, so I definitely enjoyed and I'll be coming back at some point.

I think we've been to the new Big Kahuna wings 4 times already. Good stuff.

Was this the Rickards Ridge BBQ joint?

No don't think so, this is a restaurant/lodge on top of McCloud mtn.

Rickards Ridge BBQ is at Cove Lake State Park. It's a nice setting and the food is quite good.
There have been numerous establishments in that facility over the years, hopefully this one sticks around for a few years.

Nice friendly place and great food. I swear the best thing there is the free cucumber water. He popped up on Jackie's Dream GoFundMe page with a $500 donation to help her move the restaurant to Happy Holler. Nice guy confirmed.

May as well post a link to Jackie's Dream moving expense GoFundMe page. It was sitting at $10k of $20k until 2 hours after the story was posted and now it is rocketing up. Hate East Knox losing a great place to eat but it was bound to happen, just not enough room at the old place.

I finally made it to Stock.
Service, not great. And we went at a less busy time.
Food. I had the Hurt Locker. Certainly a good burger. Was it all that? Probably set myself up for disappointment. Tasty fries!
And, restaurants need to maintain their bathrooms.

We then went to Clancy’s and had a Highland Gaelic. Big glasses!!! I paid $4 for more than twice as much beer as I got at S&B.

The Hurt Locker is an item at Stock and Barrel.

 

[bigdaddy]

Dont all bad about S&B. That place is like gold around here

 

[DrRosenRosen]

Pretty sure Stock Burgers had to change their name. It's now THE Burgers.

I’ve yet to go, every time I’m over that way I go to Gus’s

The Crown & Goose in the Old City to close following sale of it and Barley's Taproom

Went to Myrtle's today at the suggestion of @bigdaddy . I have to agree: it's really, really good. The combination of spice in the dry rub with the Benton's bacon+maple sauce is ridiculous. The do a great job with their brine -- very tender and moist, even the white meat. Sides were great, too -- I had the collards and Mac+cheese.

It's a calorie/gut-splurge, but I would recommend Myrtle's in a heartbeat.

What's the scoop behind this name change?

Another local business with “stock” in their name that specializes in burgers??????!

I thought that but don't buy it. I don't think you can common law trademark a single word like "stock". Stock and Barrel would only trademark "Stock and Barrel".
