Tennessee, United States Food Guide: 10 Steakhouse food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Knoxville
Reviews on Steakhouse food in Knoxville, Tennessee, United States. During the Civil War, Knoxville's Mabry-Hazen House served as headquarters for both the Confederate and Union armies. Today you can visit the house and other historic homes in this eastern Tennessee city. Among Knoxville's other attractions are museums, a zoo and World's Fair Park, site of the 1982 World's Fair. University of Tennessee sports draw lots of fans, as does the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame. To see Knoxville from the water, take a leisurely riverboat ride down the Tennessee River.

Whilst in Tennessee I usually go to the Chop House at Sevierville but as I had a meeting in Knoxville, I decided to try the Chop House there. It was excellent and up to the standard of the Sevierville restaurant. The service was prompt, efficient, and courteous, and the steaks were very good.Thank you for your compliments on our waitstaff and menu, we're glad to hear you had just as enjoyable an experience here as at our Sevierville location, and we look forward to serving you again soon!
9. Texas Roadhouse Turkey Creek

Reviewed By BigDaddyDave55138
This restaurant is located in the Turkey Creek shopping complex in west Knoxville and Farragut Tennessee. Texas Roadhouse is relatively easy to miss as it faces a short subsidiary road in the shopping area. Weâd eaten in a Texas Roadhouse years agoâ¦but it was so long ago, with one exception to be explained later, its memory has faded. Upon entering the restaurant, you are greeted by a host or hostess as well as by a refrigerated display case full of various cuts of steak. For a carnivore like myself, this was a positive sign. The steaks looked good. A U-shaped bar is located in the center left of the restaurantâs public area as you enter the building. Customers in the bar are surrounded by TV screens⦠This is a large restaurantâ¦with mostly booths but some tables for folks like me that arenât crazy about booths. Wood with a touch of industrial style lighting plus a mix of Texan/country décor define the interior.As we were about to be seated, the hostess asked if weâd like some rollsâ¦a little different than most establishments. They were stacked near the hostâs station and she brought a basket of them with us. They were just OK and neither of us like the sweet âbutterâ mixture that theyâre served with. We want real butter!What we did remember from Texas Roadhouse years past were the peanutsâ¦a fond memory! There still is a bucket of salted in-shell peanuts on every table. The only difference is that you donât throw the shells on the floor like customers used to⦠Instead, an empty bucket is provided just for the remnants. Laurieâs 18 oz. Frozen Margarita with Sangria was very prettyâ¦and she liked it a lot! ($6.25) I did my usual with a pint of Miller Lite. ($3.75) Both drinks went well with those peanuts!Although there is a lot of variety on the Texas Roadhouse menu, given that meat display case at the entrance with the emphasis on steaks on the menu, the tendency, at least for dinner, is to go for steaks! It least it was for us. We both chose steaks and we both went with the side Caesar salad. We like a lot of salad dressing (although many folks donât) and this salad was perfect for us.The steaks were tender enough and they were grilled medium rare as requested. Laurie went for the 10 oz. Ribeye with applesauce on the side ($16.99) and I went for the 12 oz. version with 'loaded' steak fries. ($18.99 plus 99 cents) In our opinion the steaks just were OK as were my 'loaded' fries. Laurie would rate her steak as a 6 out of 10 and I would rate mine a 5. While the seasoning gave them flavor, the amount of salt used was a bit over the top. Conclusions: 1) The steaks were just average for a casual dining restaurant, and 2) The next time we dine at a Texas Roadhouse, weâll explore other portions of the menu.

I used to love the old Regas restaurant. You could be assured that your experience would be nothing less than perfect, every time. That is the way with Fleming's. Yes, it is a special occasion place, one the average person wouldn't frequent every week, but it is quite good. We had a Valentine's dinner there that was so enjoyable. Our waiter, Drew, remembered us from an earlier visit. He was impeccable with his customer service. The food was exquisite, and I had wine that I have not seen offered elsewhere in Knoxville. It's a nice touch to have low lighting, real table cloths, and a seating arrangement that is somewhat private, no matter where you are sitting.

I recently enjoyed a nice relaxing lunch at this Copper Cellar. I had the lunch special chopped steak with grilled peppers and onions. I selected a twice baked potato as my side. The steak was ok but nothing special. Not prepared to well done as I had requested. The twice baked potato was outstanding. Full of flavor and baked to perfection The service was average sitting at the bar. I had to ask for refills. I had to ask for bread. I got nothing without asking Itâs on the higher price scale for lunch. With tip and no alcohol it was $20Our lunch chopped steak and twice baked potatoes are truly winners in our book! We are always striving for the best in service and we thank you for your honesty. We hope you will stop by again for lunch and let us make it up to you!

Been to Ruth Chris many times... this experience was terrible. Maybe it was because I was with my 12 year old daughter on 4th of July. But, almost everything was "off"... I bragged to my daughter how good this was gonna be and they didn't deliver as I'm normally use too. Both on the food side and service. My lobster tail was awful... maybe just a bad day ! We are sorry to see that it looks like your experience with us was less than favorable. We would like to know more.

Chop House is a favorite for us but it has been several years since being at this location. Medical appointment nearby was good enough reason to stop in. They have a good lunch menu with many choices and this is a nice atmosphere to unwind in. We enjoyed our meal and received excellent service from Caleb.Thank you for your compliments on our lunch menu, atmosphere, and waitstaff, we're glad you decided to dine with us again, and hope it will be sooner than several years before we get the chance to serve you again!

They have a very good selection and most is quite delicious. The salad bar could be more extensive but the quality is high. Wine is reasonably priced and the servers are nice. Overall, a good experience. Oh, and desserts are delicious but it's hard to save room...

Knoxville has needed a restaurant like this forever. Great service, great bar, truly inspired food. There is no place like this for hundreds of miles. Trio of fettine, expertly made, was the star of the meal. I love how you can get an entire appetizer or one piece for a pro-rated price.
