Knoxville Restaurants

Big City Reuben at Smokey Mountain Brewery.

It gets rave reviews apparently. I haven't tried it myself. One review said it was like the one's he used to get in NJ.

Frussie's Deli in South Knoxville is supposedly really good as well but I've not been there either.

Thanks, I'll have to try that one. Looks like they're on Parkside.

So, who has the best Reuben in Knoxville? A real Reuben, if you will.

Nick & J's cafe on lovell rd near Pellissippi pkwy.

Another one I'll have to try out. Thanks. Used to be a place on Gay Street years ago that I'd visit when in the area. They had real deli food. Harold's or something like that.

Gus's?

Nick & J's is really good. Nick & J actually cook the food.

I really miss Sam & Andy's and The Roman Room.

I really miss Sam & Andy's and The Roman Room.

Sam and Andy's is still around, there are two locations:
2613 Adair Dr. (North Broadway just north of the 640 loop), and 11110 Kingston Pike(closer towards Farragut Middle& High School).

Harold's is long gone my friend, and missed

Gus's?

No, it was Harold's. I kept wanting to call it Harry's but I think that was his son. I remember Gus's well.

That's sad. It was there as far back as I can remember. Still miss Brownie's that was on Cumberland back in the day. Metz and beans, Brownie, and skin 'em.

There are a few good deli shops around but nothing like the originals

Gosh Ethiopian Restaurant on Sutherland Avenue - you owe it to yourself to try this at least once. I can recommend the Doro Nibs without reservation.

This.

Burger Fi, not impressed

 

[Slydell]

The reviews I've read have not been good. Several mentioning way overpriced and tough burgers.

17 dollars for a double patty no bigger than Cookout fries and a drink. Not going back

 

[Slydell]

That's what most said. Money would've been better spent at Cook Out or Gus'.

Yes, or go to Copper Cellar and have a decent meal

 

[Slydell]

Yeah.

Apparently going to Echo for the first time tomorrow night for a birthday dinner. Anybody tried it?
Any recommendations?

I really like Echo. I believe I had a bison steak, tomato salad, and grilled oysters last time I was there. My wife had the scallops. Everything was awesome.

Where is Echo?

 

[Slydell]

On the north side of Kingston Pike a little past Bearden Ele School and before you get to Northshore.

This was a delightful restaurant and everyone on the staff that we spoke to including the chef were very nice. He makes a personal appearance to each table as far as I could tell. We shared several apps including the Escargot, Pan Seared Ahi Tuna spring rolls, and the cheeseplate. I split the Caprese salad with the Grainger County tomatoes with my mom(tomatoes were fabulous btw), and splitting it turned out to be a great choice. The dishes ordered were two fried lobster tails, the filet medallions, soft shell crab, and I got the Bison steak which was very good. There were no complaints from the table. We would definitely go back.

I only snapped a couple photos: The Watermelon in the water is very refreshing, and the chef wanted to make us a Baked Alaska:

sounds awesome

 

[Slydell]

And expensive.

 

[Coug]

sounds awesome

It was!

And expensive.

With all that was ordered plus two bottles of a really nice Prosecco, it does add up, but it was a birthday dinner so it was worth it.
