“Point B is a well thought out concept from indoor to outdoor seating, comfort, creative menu options with plenty to choose from, gourmet cuisine, brunch daily, excellent lighting, tasty drinks, great wine selection, friendly staff, excellent spot to take friends, clients, kids, or to have a larger group on a special occasion, and great date night spot. I love brunch, lunch and dinner there! It’s always my go-to!”
“We had a great experience from start to end! Drinks are next level, even something as simple as a salad was extra delicious, and my husband’s wood-fired pizza was the best he’s ever had! They forgot to send my grilled chicken out with my salad, but it arrived less than 2 minutes later from the manager. He took the upcharge for it off even though I told him it wasn’t necessary, as I’d just received my salad right before. He was so apologetic anyway and insisted on taking it off. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu, pointed out his suggestions, and was very attentive. It was a fantastic service experience. We will be back when in Knox!”
“So listen, if you're looking for one of the best dining experiences in the city, then why haven't you gone yet?! If amazing service, food, ambiance, and beverages are all relevant to your interests, then quit messing around and grab a freaking table! Wife and I love coming here for certain occasions, great way to celebrate, and we're always blown away by our dining experience. Always greeted by the awesome team upon entry and Adam, the GM, always comes to welcome us back! We've always had phenomenal service and last night was no different. Stephen was an absolute rockstar, I had him pick my cocktail based on flavor profiles and he and the bartender absolutely nailed it! We love doing multiple small plates, mixing in an entrée periodically, and it's always an incredible experience! Pro tip, wear a red dress and a red sequins jacket for date night = best seat in the house. Looking forward to the next occasion, cheers.”

“I LOVE Everbowl. It is consistent, delicious, a fun environment, welcoming, and the best place to go with friends! Jennifer served us with kindness, grace, and efficiency! 100/10 will be returning!
Kid-friendliness: The music is kid-friendly, as well as the food options and vibe!
Wheelchair accessibility: No steps and many wheelchair accessible bathrooms and tables!”
“We came in super last minute for a sweet 16 Hello Kitty cake, as our previous cake plans fell thru unexpectedly, and Heidi’s came thru. They not only accommodated us, but made an amazingly cute and extra tasty cake! The attention to detail and flavor were both amazing. 1,000/10!”
“As a couple with no family and no friends except one who cared enough to reach out and say, “do you have somewhere to go for the Thanksgiving holiday…” the fact that South Press welcomed all in the community was heart warming. The staff is always so kind to us, the food especially the soups are tasty. The drinks blow away big corporate coffee chains. I love to just sit in there with a beverage and soak up the atmosphere and the community. Being in there makes me want to do better and be better as a human. When I thanked Joslynn for having us for Friendsgiving, she thanked me for coming, asked me if I had enough to eat, and said to take a box of food home. This is why I go to South Press, I have never felt anything but welcome in this space and I think it’s very existence, its staff, and its owner reminds me that we are all humans and being a better one starts with acts of kindness for no other reason than you see a need and you ACT to fill it and it doesn’t hurt that they make a mean drink and soup.”
“Their lamb is a mix of beef and lamb. If you aren't a fan of lamb, you will likely enjoy their lamb. It's worth the taste exploration. It doesn't have the off putting lamb flavor that some people are sensitive to. Try it. It's good. And the employee servers were friendly and animated.”
“Went here for the first time last night and it was fantastic. The parmentier de canard (duck with mashed potatoes) was probably one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten. The ratatouille was also quite nice, though maybe a bit overpriced. The fromager came to our table and helped us select cheeses, which were amazing. French onion soup—what can I say? They know what they’re doing. Superb. The gateau Basque—wow. So creamy and flavorful, yet subtle. Even the espresso was great. Oh, and don’t forget the baguette and butter! Served warm in a paper wrapper…yum. Fantastic service from Nichole and the rest of the staff. The decor is beautiful Euro-bohemian. Cozy velvet booths, gorgeous art deco chandeliers, warm atmosphere. Highly recommend!”
“I had So much fun! The cocktails are out of this world (pun totally intended)! The food was unique and tasty! I will be going back & must try every cocktail & every item on the menu! The staff are the friendliest out there, especially Bri!! I highly recommend this hidden gem 💫 👽☄️🤖🪐”
“My husband and I celebrated our Anniversary there. Dominic took exceptional care of us! He was professional, friendly, and was terrific at anticipating our needs. The hostesses were so sweet too. One of them gave us a handmade Happy Anniversary card that was from the staff that was so cute. I really appreciated that gesture. We both had steak. I had the steamed broccoli and corn creme brulee. He had the onion rings. All of our food was amazing and delicious! We were so happy to have received the Heath Bar dessert w homemade ice cream on the House! The inside is beautiful too. Thank you Chop House for making our Anniversary dinner so special. ❤️❤️❤️”

“Just back from a wonderful dinner at Kefi downtown. We started with Saganaki,
pan seared kasseri, fig jam, lemon, brandy flambé. The presentation was fun and the cheese was delicious. Hubby and I both had to have the Kokkinisto, beef short ribs slowly braised in st. george wine sauce, feta polenta, roasted tomato, heirloom carrots, spring peas. This entree was simply mouthwatering! The short ribs melted in my mouth! Our server Hannah was top notch! She asked if she should put our leftovers in one box. I said, “hell no! I have more than him and I’m not sharing!” She returned with boxes labeled “him and her”. Hubby ordered the Butterscotch Pecan Bread Pudding, sweet cream custard, butterscotch, roasted pecans, vanilla bean ice-cream flambéed tableside with butter-bourbon sauce. Again, awesome presentation with fire and outstanding flavor! I ordered Sokolatina, flourless chocolate torte, chocolate ganache, peanut butter mousse, chocolate tuile. It had to be dietetic since it was flourless…right? It was so rich and delicious, I almost had to take some home! Almost…
I would highly recommend this restaurant! All this and the check came to $115 before tip. I thought that was incredibly reasonable for the quality and quantity of food, fun atmosphere and fantastic service!”
“So excited to have a restaurant of this caliber.just a couple miles from the house out here in West Knoxville. Highly recommend the fish dip, the peach blue cheese salad, and the grilled trout is absolutely stunning. They have an array of specialty drinks that are incredible and the staff is always professional and friendly and attentive. And if you haven't been for brunch on Sunday mornings, absolutely exquisite. I haven't found anything even remotely like this within a hundred miles of where I live.”

“Was our first experience dining here tonight and WOW it was amazing! The best steak I've had in my life and the seafood was perfect and delicious. I enjoyed every bite we had tonight. The dulce dessert was spectacular and the service was impeccable as well! Perry out server was a dream!!”
“I’ve had friends recommend Hello Tea House many times. Today my husband and I finally tried it!! The gal who waited on us - I think she’s an owner - was so helpful and patient with us newbies!! 💕 We got savory spicy chicken crepe sandwiches and bubble teas to start. It was cool to watch the sandwich making process from beginning to end! And both the teas and sandwiches were DELICIOUS!! Of course, we saved room for dessert. Thankful we did!! The wild berry sweet crepe - recommended by the same gal - was A-MAZ-ING!! We both agreed we should have started with THAT!! Next time!! 😜”
“First time eating there. Read Grubhub article in paper. He was wrong in his rating, it's a 5! For anyone really serious about Korean/Japanese fine cooking KOKO is a must. It has been said that we eat with our eyes too. Dishes were finely presented and they tasted as good as they looked. Dishes are light and complex without being fussy. I believe they have set the bar for Asian cuisine in Knoxville.”

We will definitely be back!!”

“The store was busy as all get out people where in line out the door and a cute red headed lady was running the place like a general leading the troops to battle she sent one waitress per each flank and I swear those hashbrownd didn't know what hit em they found themselves scattered, smotherd and coverd before they knew what hit em and to add insult to injury that cute red headed waitress/cook chopped pepperd cappd and finally topped like nobody's buisness. I do declare that fine little red headed filly then comensed singing the waffle house song while she washed every dish in the place 3 times all by herself. I've neve0r00 been 0s0o impressed by any waffle house crew as I was this one that girl was a well oiled machine I tell ya lubed in all the right spots why if I could I would make that filly an honest woman and court that lovely lady I'd be a mite more agreeable if I had me a woman like that I think I heard someone call her Marie or Ham or somethin they shore did get em a humdinger Hirrin that Philly belive me you”

“I told him this morning, how Wideawake everybody was and how friendly they were all smiling in the store this morning the customers in these two girls apparently I'm a terrible picture taker this morning. It was supposed to show my carb free pork rinds in my wonderful decaffeinated cup of coffee. I mentioned to them my friend. I am so excited about she's got the most beautiful southern accent up north she used to live down here. Her name is Karen. She is definitely not like the fishing dock Karen. You would want to go to the boondocks and watch a sunset. Lol or a sunrise. Thanks you guys for all your energy this morning”

“Food is consistently fresh and outstanding. From wait staff to management service is friendly and professional. But…. The food is next level. Chicken parm sandwich is next level. I don’t know if there is anywhere that has better fries. I come here every single week.”
“This place is AWESOME!! From the cleanliness of the place as well as indoor and outdoor seating, courteous staff to the incredible flavors of ice cream, donuts and I especially love the pretzel. The best I've ever had! the ice cream is so creamy and fresh every time I've been there! My whole and extended family love this place and my 16 year old granddaughter says the ice cream is the best she's ever had...and that's saying something! Everyone..please come and see what all the hype is about!!”
“We stumbled upon this place while we were looking for a local place to grab breakfast. You do want to be there early as it is a first come, first serve - one man shop. The blueberry breakfast sandwich and blueberry biscuits were buttery and soft. Excellent experience and we will be back next time we’re in the area. Highly recommend!”
“We needed a burger and a quick old fashioned! This place was packed and they still turned out our food and drinks fast! The well whiskey was good too. I should have gotten the whiskey flight! Buffalo trace , welled reserve, Blanton’s, and to finish it off with some Taylor! Man, that sounded like a great choice! This is place is on my Must revisit!”
“Sooooo good! The best ice cream you will ever try! It is a little busy and we had to wait outside in a line probably because it was a Saturday night but other than that 10/10 the staff is super friendly and service is very quick, the ice creamer is the best, definitely worth trying it out.”
“Wow! 1st visit & definitely not my last! The Cuban Sandwich!!!! ❤️ we shared a mouth watering pastry with cream cheese & jelly!! Melted in your mouth 👄 I I can’t wait to try items customers recommended while doing a pickup! The staff & owner warm & friendly, you feel like you’re visiting their home. Real treat! Highly! recommend! ❤️❤️❤️”
“WOW! What a gem Caza Brava Mexican Restaurant is! My friend Jason was craving Mexican food to celebrate his birthday. I just googled nearest restaurant to us and this came up first. So glad we decided to give it a try! From the moment Xavier graciously and enthusiastically greeted us at the door, we had the most scrumptious meal served by our most attentive waitress, Mary Bell. What a lovely person and hard worker! Oh, right! You want to know about the food! Fantastic! Jason had nachos and I was torn between a shrimp dish and their vegetarian dish which had more and varied vegetables than you see on most Mexican restaurant menus. I asked Xavier if he could add shrimp, and he came up with a solution immediately, which turned out to be SO FLAVORFUL And the presentation was truly beautiful! I never take pictures of my food at restaurants, but last night I did! And I’ve never written a review of a restaurant, not ANY restaurant…ever. Xavier and the rest of the staff, the quality of the service, and the tastiness of the food deserves five stars plus plus plus! I’ll be bringing more of my friends here!”
“Little Nicky’s pizza did not disappoint!! I’m from NY and am thrilled to have found a pizza parlor that tastes like “home”! The owners are from downstate (NYC) and the food and desserts are authentic! Fantastic pizza and wonderful Owners!! You won’t be disappointed!!!”
“Mooyah...burger joint par excellence! Everything I have ever eaten there is fresh (prepared after you order) and perfectly seasoned. Service is friendly and engaged with the guests. But wait, there's more. I challenge you to try their chocolate shakes which are not dispensed out of a machine. I'd be shocked if you didn't say, "The best I ever had!"”
“Dang this place is good. Lobster crab cakes, filet with ravioli filled goat cheese, halibut, matcha cheesecake and the chocolate cake. As well as the 5 drinks we got. I really appreciated the Non alcoholic section. Thanks stir!”
“We celebrated our 10th Anniversary at Copper Cellar! Thank you , Clint, for making our evening super special and sharing in our celebration with us”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“This is by far my favorite ice cream stop in the whole world. No kidding they are the best. This location is really unique and friendly. Located in a large Victorian style house, Cruze Farm East Knox has plenty of parking, lots of indoor and outdoor seating, and a drive thru! The staff are attentive, friendly and enthused for ice cream. Make sure to sample before you decide and they have pints of their amazing flavors to take home.”
“We had a baby shower at CommonPlace Coffee & Community, it was the perfect event space! The staff member present was amazing, kind, and super helpful. The space is huge and accommodates a good amount of people, it was super spacious and we were able to decorate as well for the theme. I would recommend to anyone for an event, it had such a cozy vibe and was a great experience!”
“Hana Awaka - super good. Tastes like cotton candy.
One of our favorite sushi rolls here is the Super Dynamite Roll.
For appetizers, Crab Rangoons are to die for. So delicious! I love the crispy outer and the creamy crab filling inside. The sweet dipping sauce balances all the flavors and every time we eat these rangoons, we are tempted to order another round.
Parking: This location I’m in Market Square, downtown so it’s surrounded by plenty parking garages and street parking. Depending on what day and time of day you come, parking may be free.”
“The Oak Room has by far the highest quality whiskey cocktails I’ve found in the Knoxville area, or Tennessee for that matter. And though their menu is somewhat limited the food quality and taste are beyond expectation for flavor and presentation. Whatever you do, don’t skip on the cheese tray. Cheers!”
“Great place to eat and have wonderful service! Shoutout to my new favorite waitress Kielii Chacon!”
“Very good place to eat!!! All the staff are super friendly!!! Food was delicious!!!”

“Will NEVER eat there! Served my son a ROTTEN Oyster!!! Emily Acknowledged and apologized that the oyster was rotten!! I spoke to her after the incident and she was very apologetic and wanted to make it right!! Fast forward, asked for all the receipts for his medical care and then crickets!!! Weeks later, he received a $50- gift card, what a joke!! That is NO WAY to do business!!! BEWARE!!!!”
“We enjoyed the atmosphere of the historic architecture and celebrated our anniversary with a champagne greeting at the door and a card from the staff! We thoroughly enjoyed this night of dinning adventure (see photos) and fine cuisine full of flavor. Very on point and professional. Thank you staff! We will be back!”
“There a couple of gas stations with truck parking on 168. Few miles away from the plant. Try to arrive right at your appointment time. Friendly staff. Free coffee & clean restroom. Fast unloading. Receiving door by dock 71 around the building on the back side. Ring the bell and wait patiently for someone to answer. Bring a raincoat if it's raining.”
“The food is delicious with generous portions. We had leftovers for dinner beccause it was too much to eat at one sitting. Our server was happy, friendly, fast, and very good at her job. The atmosphere is pleasant with a welcoming feel to it.”

Cheap Eats
“This was our first time trying Afgani food. It was delicious! We had the Rom bowl with beef and chicken and rice pudding. My son loved the presentation of the bread sealed bowl- he was surprised to find all of the rice and meat inside of the bread. The rice was cooked perfectly.
Amazing flavors all around. Lovely service! Highly recommend!”
“I tried Southern Grit for the first time today and was so pleasantly surprised. The service was great and the food was delicious! I was there to catch up with a friend and spent two hours visiting. I never felt rushed and they made sure my drink glass was always full. I can't wait to go back!”
“Our first visit for dinner won’t be the last! We ordered steak and burgers and were very very satisfied-great quality food! Charity, the manager, and Lily, our waitress, went above and beyond to provide amazing service. It was obvious that that is the standard to which they do business. We were very impressed and will definitely be back!”
“My husband and I just ate there for the first time. I have been craving this type of food since I visited Louisiana a couple years ago. I sure can't make it myself and I have never found anything that compares until tonight. We split the chicken gumbo, beef po'boy and red beans and rice. Everything was excellent and the staff was so friendly!”
“A+. The food was 5star plus!!!! Great server! Highly recommend!”
“I had a wonderful dinner at Altruda’s last night. Our server, Mia was fantastic. She was attentive, kind, and went above and beyond to ensure my boyfriend and I had a great experience. I look forward to trying a new dish the next time I’m there.”
“I've been reading about the Marlowe for quite a while. We enjoyed the wide range of dishes that were reasonably priced. It did take us a while to find the restaurant. We understand a sign is on the way.”
“Amazing first visit for hubby and mine anniversary on 5/28/22. Our server Konnor was wonderful and friendly, never felt ignored even though they were busy. Escargot was the best we’d ever had. Truffle fries to die for. Duo of duck and trout almandine fantastic entrees. Make sure to save room for dessert! Wonderful crème brûlée for myself and profiteroles for hubby (I did not try since am GF). Cocktails also delish although the whiskey sour could use some work/sprucing up. Can’t wait to return!!”
“I loved this place. Intimate atmosphere, great drinks, wine and dinner menu. Enjoyed our meal very much.”
“This is my wife and I’s favorite cocktail place. Always on the list of places we NEED to go to each time we visit Knoxville. Always a fun and inviting place environment.”

“outstanding beer, great food, and a wonderful atmosphere!! 10 out of 10 recommend!! Prost!!”
“This place is one of the best in town! They’ve got something for everyone and it’s always great beer. Live music is awesome too!”
“This is an incredible date night spot for steak. We go about once every 3 months or so. We spend usually $180 for an appetizer, drinks, 2 steaks, dessert, and tip. Great spot! And we'll worth the money.”
“Today was my first visit and I will be back! The steak was the best I have had!”
“We celebrated our 1 year anniversary here on 2/2/25! Food was great! Service was good. The tables were very open and close together. We weren’t crazy about that. Overall experience was good and would recommend!”
“The taste of focaccia, pesto gnocchi and tiramisu brought me straight back to my time in Milan and Camogli. Authentic, flavorful, perfect texture and wonderful atmosphere. Grazie! The wine was… amazing and the meatballs were the BEST I’ve ever had. Anyone who wants to go to Italy should come here and get a taste of the real thing!”
“Great service and great food!! The staff and the manager make sure you enjoy your meal and your evening. We will definitely be back ?”

“The food tasted great and very fresh. we had a ton of fun getting dirty too lol”

“Food always comes out fresh! Very delicious and service is great.”
“Fantastic place! Absolutely the best bartenders and drinks in Knoxville! The small food menu is absolutely stellar! Can’t wait till my next trip!”
“We decided to buy tickets for the Gothic Cabaret on 10/24/24 held at Finn’s. I live in Gatlinburg so it was an hours drive to Finn’s. But so worth it! The historic Bakers-Peters house is a naturally beautiful setting all year but perfect for Halloween especially. It was decorated for the season tastefully to honor the house but also a nice touch of Halloween. The cabaret performers were fantastic… great voices and musicians! Music of all types.
The service from Finn’s was great! The hostess Janessa was so friendly and the staff was very busy during this sold out show. We ordered a steak which was very tender. The asparagus was overcooked but with a nice flavor. The red potatoes were tasty but had an all-spice/pumpkin-y flavor which was fine for me but not for those who don’t like those flavors. We would absolutely go back for any reason not just a special event! Highly recommend the service and atmosphere!”
“I loved this place. Intimate atmosphere, great drinks, wine and dinner menu. Enjoyed our meal very much.”
“Had a fantastic experience there last night, they even had my favorite whiskey :) I’ll define returning! Mel”
“Never disappoints. Wines, staff, food and entertainment are amazing.”
“Stopped here to do the beer flights with my best friend. I’m not a beer drinker so I needed lots of guidance and patience and staff was super great at that. A really cool experience!”
“I work at Apex and Goodness to Go is the best! The staff is great!!! All of the food is so good and a healthy choice!!! I love the chess bars and thumbprint cookies and I don’t even like sweets anymore!!!”
“We really enjoyed our little lunch date there. The food was delightful and fresh.
The atmosphere was light and cozy, very inviting.
Service was impeccable, and she made suggestions.”
“The pretty ToGo lady with the curly, long dark hair is the best ToGo lady in the universe. Give her all the monies, and send her home with cheese fries every day.”
“The employees were very welcoming and gave me their opinions on what they like there. Also the fries I had were PRIME so good, if the fries are good at any restaurant everything else on the menu is going to be 10x better and it was!”
“I love the bread steak was right on the packing could have been better salad was under hot meat and juices spilled still good though the only bad thing was the bake potato very hard and brittle over dry but I would go back and order the same thing”
“My husband and I and another couple went for the all you can eat Friday lunch special at Q Korean Steakhouse. It was an incredible value, scrumptious food and outstanding service! We had lemon chicken, 2 servings of our favorite pork belly, spicy pork bulgogi, K-beef and Hawaiian beef bulgogi. I expected slow service since you have a 2 hour time limit, but we ran out of room long before time ran out! The sides that are included were all very good! The kimchi was delicious and just the right spice level, broccoli salad, macaroni salad, pickled cucumber, pickled radish and more! It was a great experience and we are all looking forward to coming back and trying more!”
“I had a Dubai chocolate strawberry cup this past weekend and it was so good! The only thing I would change is have layers of the crunchy part and pistachios added in instead of just on top”
“Food was very good and large portions, to which I give it a 9 out of 10; when waitress presented the bill, she stood there while we looked at the bill and added a tip to the paperwork. We always tip restaurant staff, however it was quite uncomfortable when we reviewed the bill and decided how much the tip should be...just sayin'.”
“Our waitress Presley is so good! This is the second time she has served me at Nama. She is so personable and kind. I really hope the managers/owners see my review and give her props!! She impressed my hard to impress in-laws while they were visiting at Christmas time. She was wonderful again tonight while GFs and I were out dining at Nama DT! Thank you Presley! Keep shining! ⭐️ Food was top notch, as always!! ❤️ Orange Crush Roll 😋”
“Excellent food, every time. Service has always been great. This is one of our favorites in Knoxville.”
“We went to enjoy the Christmas buffet yesterday and enjoy we did!!! The seafood was fresh and delicious. The prime rib was succulent. Everything else was equally amazing!!! The staff was so friendly and helpful. It was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had in Knoxville. We'll done and thank you!!!”
“I love the shakes! Friendly customer service. The owners are fantastic. I had never been any where like this before. The employees were super helpful and had great recommendations! Thanks y’all for my new addiction! Y’all rock!”
“Delicious food, wasn’t upset with my stop here at all. The two women at the front were incredibly helpful in helping me decide on food, because I had never tried any of it. 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking to try authentic Venezuelan food!”
“Excellent choice for sushi and Asian fusion cuisine. Creative rolls! There is a full bar and the bartender Claire is superb! New menu items added and be sure to add what’s available off menu as sometimes there are specialty items you can try.”
“First timer, while waiting for my car to be worked on next door. I asked for a sweet cold coffee drink. Which I did get 43 minutes later, now I was waiting for the car to be done so was just sitting watching and listening. Some of the rudest people I have ever heard, these two girls were obviously short handed and busting their butts, drive thru, register and making at the speed of lightning. Now I also tipped my 30 percent on my 43 minute purchase with a smile on my face. I saw nobody else tip, come on now. Finding young adults that work is tough, finding them that work that hard, darn near impossible. I think your corporate should give you two a raise for putting up with those people at that pace. As a former owner I can tell you I never would have let my people get that swamped without helping, and never talked down too. But you kept your smile, said you were sorry, no excuses. I left just as somebody came to help out, hope it got better for all of you.”
“Checking out a brewery in Knoxville. Really cool place. Really good beer and cider. Smoked dry rub wings with hot buffalo sauce and a smoked bologna panini, simply awesome! Great place and service!”
“I’ve been to Jacks probably about 3 times and every time I get the Cardamom Latte. The environment is incredible with friendly workers. The thing that truly makes this place different though is the gluten free availability and the flea market style. Definitely recommend to anyone.”

“Great service and great employees. I have been here multiple times and am always pleased with my experience. Jackson, Simba, and Jaden are a few employees that I have noticed do a great job consistently. All the employees work extra hard, but those 3 are the friendliest and most knowledgeable it seems. Will continue to go to this location and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great sandwich and great service!”
“This is simply the best restaurant in Knoxville. Not only is the food absolutely delicious, the servings are large and the food is hot or cold, depending on what it is. The wonderful slaw is always chilled. In addition, the servers are friendly and efficient, although possibly overworked. What a great experience!”
“On brief vacation with my lovely wife, our hotel clerk suggested Monterrey which was close by. Visited of Friday evening and the place was packed. Many of the patrons appeared to be of Mexican descent, always a good sign of good, authentic food. We were quickly seated in a super clean, delicious smelling dining room and immediately greeted by a lovely young lady who brought us hot, fresh tortilla chips and a wonderfully tasty, fresh salsa which must have been made in house with chunks of fresh tomato and the perfect blend of chillies and herbs. We noticed that everyone was super clean and superbly efficient in doing their assigned tasks without being in the way, all the while appearing to be genuinely happy! This is a sign of an excellently managed business. A handsome, well I groomed gentleman (who I think is a part of the nuclear family who has operated this business for 35 years) stopped at our table to greet us and express his genuine appreciation for our patronage. He recommended a house specialty 'POLLO MONTERREY'. What a magnificent dish! Perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked chicken with spinach and some secret ingredients and spiced most excellently. Sizzling hot dancing sauces made this dish visually stunning and aromatically enticing. I cannot recommend this dish too highly. It was so delightfully good that we came back today, Saturday, for a repeat performance. This restaurant shows me how well an establishment can be operated. Nothing but excellence, unpretentious class, and the utmost in genuine customer service and satisfaction. Just so you know, my wife and I are not food critics, just common folks who appreciate being so well cared for in every respect. I forgot to mention the prices! We found the entire experience to be a tremendously good value. Do yourself a favor and visit this place. I expect you'll become regulars. We would be except that we live on Jane beautiful west (best) coast of Florida. Once again, Monterrey is in our decades long experience, right at the top of restaurants we would chose to frequent.

Buffalo trace , welled reserve, Blanton’s, and to finish it off with some Taylor! Man, that sounded like a great choice! This is place is on my Must revisit!”
“Food is consistently fresh and outstanding. From wait staff to management service is friendly and professional. But…. The food is next level. Chicken parm sandwich is next level. I don’t know if there is anywhere that has better fries. I come here every single week.”
