10 Best American Restaurants near Knoxville

“On a road trip with 3 ladies going out West and we wanted a real sit down breakfast. We kind of stumbled upon Knoxville Bar and Grill, and loved it from walking through the door. From the pictures of the local military, to the waitress Lynsee (sic), to the full plates, everything was great! I had the Western omelet with English muffin, and hashbrowns. It tasted great! My cup of coffee was never empty. Lynsee called all the regulars by name, brought their food to them, and knew little things about them and their family. Awesome to see that in a time of everything so anonymous.“

“The Landmark is a Galesburg institution!They have fantastic breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. Some interesting dishes include savory and sweet crepes, quiches, and a variety of other fare. The space is warm and relatively intimate. They also have an awesome outdoor patio.I don’t know if they still have spinach bread, but that was something we had weekly in my house growing up.Would highly recommend.“

“In summary: Typical bar grill atmosphere with better than normal food and an excellent server.Food I sampled: rueben tacos (5 stars), cajun pork and rice (my meal; 4.5 stars rice was a bit bland but they had soy sauce), fried mushrooms ( 4 stars), provolone cheese logs( 3.5 stars needs better dipping options) and fries (5 stars great large cut with crumble fries)“

“First time ever eating here and I am super impressed with the menu, atmosphere, and staff! Love how you walk in and are automatically transformed into a whole different era and time. Lots of old knick Knacks, comfortable seating, quick service. Lots and lots of history here. I highly recommend the Coney Dog!“

“Well its CASH and CARRYOUT ONLY. We came in on the motorcycle and there wasn't an area outside to eat. Its ok we sat next to the building in shade. Food was very good. The waitresses were running in and out quickly but suffecntly. Prices aren't to bad. Plus cherry cola was yummy!!!“

“Beautiful Sunday evening and an invitation from our neighbors to join them on a ride into the country to enjoy this country club restaurant that is open to the public. The seating was comfortable, the staff were attentive, the menu will fit anyone's taste. Four for light supper.. we tried appetizers: Reuben rolls and cheese sticks enclosed in a wonton wrap.. delicious.. our entrees were two eating hamburgers, one had a chicken wrap and I had a Southwest salad.. no complaints...well served and hot.. This is a local bar and grill within the Oak Run community so most patrons live nearby, but if you are in the area or just want to take a ride .. you won't be disappointed.“

“Local eats, stopped in while driving through. Ordered the falafel wrap with waffle fries and they did not disappoint. I would skip the pickle fries to be honest.Vegetarian friendly and has some good Mediterranean options which is my preference. They also had my favorite white claw Lime. Our services and server was very kind and attentive shoutout Fernando!Check this place out! 4.3/5Vegetarian options: About 3+ vegetarian options“

“The flavors in their barbecue are amazing. The sauce is killer, the sides are always good, and the meats are usually done right. My only complaint is that, a few too many times, the meat is a mix of hot and cold. Not lukewarm, not room temperature, but actually cold. I'm pretty sure that they refrigerate the meat then microwave it... Which is sad because it's AMAZING when fresh. I've literally watched them set down a sandwich with a pile of steamy pulled pork only for my girlfriend to find the centre of it icy. And my dad is always getting ribs where some are hot, and some are fridge temperature.If not for the cold spots, the place would get 5 stars EASY. Wish I could give 4.5 instead of 4.The service is... okay. You order at a window and they bring your food, which is fine. But, drinks, refills, napkins, condiments, etc, you get yourself. Tho, they do check up on you on occasion.As far as drinks, I don't drink myself, but they seem to have a decent selection according to the people that I frequent this place with.Their soda situation leaves a bit to be desired. You get a very small cup of mostly ice for 2 dollars. And if you want more, it's 50¢ a refill. Oh, and you normally have to go to the bar yourself for all the drinks. Depending on the night.The dining area is nice. It would remind you of an elk's or moose Lodge, or VA hall... because, well, that's what it is. Except it's in really great shape and very new looking. Nothing too fancy, but really cozy. And the place is kept ridiculously clean. Including the facilities. Only con is if you happen to go on a night with live music. It's happened to me a few times, and the "bands" were loud and lacklustre, borderline annoying.Memorial Day weekend, they did have a professional stage and sound system setup in the parking lot with a handful of pretty decent local bands. I wouldn't be surprised to see more of that during the summer.All in all, if you're wanting barbecue and you're in the Burg, this is the place to go.“

“Wow!!! Culver's was extremely good today.I haven't been there in a long time. It's THE best burger in Galesburg. Their own house root beer is excellent. I had the Bacon double deluxe burger and it was outstanding. The young men and women employees are all so friendly and cordial.“

“Best fish and chips! Our server Maia has the best personality she really made us feel welcomed! This was our first visit and since our nephew attends Knox College we will definitely put this restaurant in our rotation.Parking: Across the street from free parking!Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair access available.“
