Los Primos

Near the parkway and a great find.

Reviewed By Mickeyndallas - Fort Worth, Texas, United States

First impressions is the Mexican colorful interior and Mexican music playing, that's good.
Chips and salsa at the table quickly, good. Ordered bean dip with cheese, very runny.,not good. Inform server, 'that's just the way it is." Not good.
Chicken fajitas for one, hot but not sizzling. Taste & flavor OK.
Served with 2 rather sorry flour tortillas, ordered a few more. Really,$1.00 for three more sorry tortillas. Thanks, we won't be back!

Master Donuts

Reviewed By PaulyPauly2014 - Knoxville, Tennessee

After a trip to my supply house, I went across the road to Master Donuts! I was surprised by the friendly staff and cleanliness of the place! The donuts looked Devine and so did the muffins! I chose a Croissant with egg, sausage and cheese! Very good! Good coffee and I was actually impressed all around...Recommend, and I was told they have a few more locations too!

Cracker Barrel

Reviewed By Lori B - Knoxville, Tennessee, United States

Just like all other Cracker Barrel's-this one was great. We had wonderful service and great food. After dinner we went and bought some items from the store.

The only awkward thing about this location is, you have to drive through another business' parking lot to get there. So, it can be a little hard to get to hit first time.

Great job Cracker Barrel-another great place to eat! Thank you for having a location in Harriman!

Reviewed By ACasper - Knoxville, Tennessee

We have dined here on several occasions and the service is fast, the food arrives quickly, and is always hot and delicious.
The menu provides many options and price ranges from full dinners to single items. Portions are generous and you won't leave hungry; in fact, you may need a to-go box. We also like that you have a choice of sauces for many of the dinners such as traditional red, green or cheese sauces. Another bonus is that it is locally owned and the owner is usually there greeting you with a big smile and a sincere thank you when you leave.
If you are in Harriman, treat yourself to this tasty Mexican restaurant.

Wendell's Diner

Reviewed By 2kay - Kingston, Tennessee

Wendell's Diner has the best, fresh-made hamburgers around. The fries are pretty good too. But you can't beat the burgers! Very tasty! Some burgers have catchy names like the Pac-Man (with jalapeno cheese). I prefer the Wendell Burger, just a very good hamburger (I order it with mustard, lettuce and tomato), It has no cheese on it but you can add other toppings you prefer.

Gondolier Italian Restaurant and Pizza

Reviewed By cardiak - Melbourne Beach, Florida

I ordered a large super vegetarian pizza. I was hoping for a good Pizza after a 12 hour drive. This was not it. The large was a medium anywhere else but carried a large price. It was basically a cracker with a few veggies. Not good tasting. I won't be back here again!

Jake's Tavern and Grill

Reviewed By kinzukid - Spring City, Tennessee

We stopped in for lunch and we remembered that the Chicken Chili was really good. So my husband ordered the Chicken Chili and I ordered the Fish Taco's. The chicken chili was so thick, it sat in the bowl like mashed potatoes. Too thick. We should have set it back. It seemed to be very old chili. Warmed up too much. The taco were OK but I have had better. Seems like it has gone down hill a bit. Its a shame as it is one of the few restaurants in the area.

Meathouse

Reviewed By Chris B - Arlington, Virginia

8 of us were looking for a place to have a lunch together on Sunday of the Super Bowl... lots of places are closed in the area on Sunday, but this was open and we took a chance on it.
The dining room isn't large, yet they managed to squeeze us in, pushing two tables together -- the rest of the room is booths, so we would have had to split into two groups. It was crowded for 8 of us and a baby/high chair, but cozy. Then the food started coming!
The portions are hearty, especially the sides - we had far more food than we realized. The meats from the pit were very tasty, tender. I had brisket and pulled pork. They have (I believe) just one bbq sauce, but I liked it just fine. The potato salad was terrific as a side. The cole slaw was good, but I like a more vinegar/less mayo slaw myself. One of our group was a native of the area (but had never been to eat here) and he "approved" of the BBQ and the sides.
The staff was super friendly, very attentive, and kept up with the orders, the many drink refills, clearing the plates from our crowded table, etc.
I would easily dine here again, when visiting Rockwood or Harriman.
