Restaurants in Lenoir City

“Visiting Tennessee for the 1st time. Delicious! We almost didn't come in once we realized it is 'in' a gas station. So happy we decided to try it. Food is very tasty. Level 6 was pretty spicy... for me. We ordered the Amritsari kulche, chicken Tikka masala, butter chicken, and garlic naan all fantastic!”

“This was an amazing experience for me an my family. first time ever going an everything was worth it. The staff was absolutely amazing an very kind. Made our experience everything it should be. Highly recommend for everyone to try. Definitely going back!!”

“This place is pretty small so there will definitely be a wait closer to dinner rush (especially for bigger parties) but OH MAN it is worth it! Best burgers we have ever had. And they're sides are good portions. Will definitely be going back!”

“We can't get enough of the breakfast egg rolls. The donuts are far better than any local chains around. Please save me some of the fresh strawberry and whipped cream filled croissants if you go.”

“We had dinner with another couple. Food was good. A but loud for my taste and some shouting from staff in fun, ot sure what the random shouts were about. Service was extremely slow, not for the food from order...the first greet from server and drink order was at least 4 minutes. The return to take order was slow. Another person picked up our plates and and we had to ask for the check, twice. After asking for the check, it was 10 minutes before he returned so we had to ask another staff member. Food was great, everyone loved their order.”

“Great spot for classic Mexican, but with more options on the menu. We love their street tacos el pastor, enchiladas supremas and guacamole. Service is excellent and friendly.”

“One of a kind product. The original petro, for those who don't know, is a bowl with Frito chips at the bottom, layered with chilli, sour cream, cheese, and other toppings. It's awesome.They also do really good 100% beef hot dogs.Really friendly and efficient staff.We always get take away, so don't know about the dining room.It's truly a unique East Tennessee food item. Don't miss it.”

“Having recently relocated pretty close to Sandra Dee's we kept saying...we got o go down there. We did today for lunch. I am a Dan of cheeseburgers amd FF and a great tasting Dr. Pepper. My wife and I both indulged and we both enjoyed a well cooked, hot, fresh, lunch with fresh topping, red tomatoes, tasty Pickles, sweet onion and FF which were cooked to order perfection. Dusty made every thought and visit to our table helpful. It was a lot so you need to go hungry. We noticed daily specials including baked spaghetti today. Looking forward to many years to come.”

“food was very good and got plenty. I don't like the way they make you pay when you make your order when you walk in. it's has a line for a tip, why would you tip and not been served I tip according to how I was taken care of. this time we hade a very good waitress she checked on us several times through our meal so I left her some cash. I usually don't have cash just sayin”

“Normally I have great service and great food here, but last Saturday night, it took 45 minutes to get my to go order!! Normally it takes 5 minutes to get my food at the table! Also, the beer mug tasted like burnt grease! This has been the only bad experience here and yes I will be back!”

“We stopped by for the first time at Shoney’s and we were greeted with southern friendly hospitality. We just made it for breakfast. Y’all the food was delish!”

“The sandwich was excellent. The problem here is that they are slow. I get that they make to order but even considering that fact, I've seen faster turtles. When we come here we have to allow extra time to get through this location when compared to other Knoxville area locations.”

“Spent tonight heading down 75 racing tstorms and tornadoes. Had kids with us and needed to make a stop before lights out. The gas station restroom down the road was closed due to cleaning. We spotted Chickfila and stopped 10 minutes before closing with no real intent to purchase anything, just a desperate toddler and a need to get back on the road. Walked in with a kid in each hand, spotted the restroom sign--"closed for cleaning". The entire restaurant floor had been mopped clean. Desperate, I asked the nearest employee if restrooms were closed to which another employee promptly opened the door from inside the restroom, smiled, and told me to come in. It was immaculate. They didn't need to let us in on their clean floors or welcome us with such hospitality, but the thing is, they did. Thanks for taking care of our family tonight, for getting us down the road safely out of the storms, and for going out of your way to help. We will be stopping for some CFA on our next trip down 75.”

“Best homemade calzones I've had in my life. And their cheese tortellini in white cream sauce with chicken is out of this world! Don't forget the 7 Layer Sinful chocolate cake for dessert!”

“Once in a while a steak and eggs breakfast hits the spot. My steak was cooked to perfection, and the biscuit and gravy side was a heart warming delight. As always the service is impeccable and the pay at your table option was super convenient!Kudos too C. B. Thanks”

“My daughter and I stopped in for the 1st time this morning. Anyone that knows me … knows how I LOVE coffee! Coffee Culture did not disappoint. Now to be honest I didn’t leave my house with the intention of going there, however the line at my usual stop was too long and I happened to see this place out of the corner of my eye as I passed by. I turned around and headed back to check it out. So glad I did!!! Best best best ever! Also ordered bfast bagel sandwiches and they were far better than the other places I’ve been (and I’ve pretty much tried them all). Not sure how I’ve missed knowing about Coffee Culture for this long but so glad I know now! We are hooked! Thank you Coffee Culture for being so wonderful ♥️”

“I came here with my husband and kids, plenty of food and it was FABULOUS! It was very clean. The lady was very nice too, great customer service. I ordered the piña loka and my husband ordered the mangonada. My kids both got ice cream pops and they loved them too. All around great experience! I urge everyone to try it!”

“I had the best sandwich of my life last night. It was AMAZING!! Service was exceptional and so friendly. I took a muffin home to have for breakfast, delicious!!! The coffee is just as delicious and so fresh. I ordered the same sandwich for lunch today!!!!”

“Super kind and knowledgeable staff. Jess and Courtney in particular, but everyone working there is kind and gets things done! I love the atmosphere and …everything.”

“Awesome place to have a birthday party for kids. Snow Biz is incredibly accommodating and their indoor/outdoor area is perfect for hosting. I’d highly recommend visiting Snow Biz for their shaved ice OR hosting a party!”

“Smoothie king what more can you say military discount also win win. If you don't like your smoothie they will fix it for you. It ask for a trial size they can hook you up. Well most of them will because they want you to come back everyday for that smoothie.”

“I love La Lupitas because they have friendly staff and authentic Mexican food made to order, eat in or take out. The store is always nice and clean; the islands clean of any mess. They offer a wide variety of products ranging from soft drinks, laundry detergent, cleaning supplies, key chains, facial moisturizers, hair products, birthday items, cowboy hats and caps, wallets, accessories, Mexican candy, kitchen utensils, piñatas, check cashing and other money transfer services. They have some of the best sweet breads that are always soft and fresh, and an in-house meat shop where meats and seafood are prepared daily to be fresh.”

“Afternoon lunch with friends. The service was phenomenal. Food was served hot & fast. We all had the "fall off the bones" ribs, street corn, fries & chicken tenders. Yummy! Try the coconut margarita, it was awesome.”

“I didn’t get to drink my coffee bc it spilled the second I walked out of my car from the drive thru.. butttt I do almost like live there it’s too good not to stop by! Love the workers their super nice allll the time �”

“Blue Bell Ice Cream is by far my favorite! Hands Down ???? The only problem I have is here in Maryville Tennessee we do not have a good variety of flavors...If you have any suggestions please help”

“This pizza place had a nice, helpful, efficient staff. Our pizza was good and made exactly as we requested. For those with dairy allergies, you can get the deep dish crust! It says butter crust, but the gal told us the butter goes on the pan before putting the crust in. Just tell them to use olive oil instead! ?Dietary restrictions: There are dairy and egg free options.”

“We love Bella! We only get sushi so I can't speak to the hibachi. The only reason the atmosphere is lacking is because there's always an intense chemical smell from the cleaners they use, which on one hand is great because you can be sure they're cleaning well, but it practically burns the nostrils when you walk in which isn't appetizing at all.I do wish the bar area looked a little more appealing and less like storage but all in all we make a trip at least once a week for lunch!”

“This is the perfect dining experience for couples on a romantic date, or family and business gatherings for twenty-five to forty people. The setting is beautiful; right on the water with outdoor space, a fireplace, outdoor patio, and more. The food is excellent with southern favorites and gourmet panache. This is the perfect time of year for a superb dinner with your loved one, family, or co-workers to celebrate the holidays.”

“It may be a TCBY tucked into a bbq joint on the side of a gas station. But having missed the classic TCBY from the 90s it was so nice to have customer service from the bbq/TCBY staff that felt as good as back in the 90s when people cared about people. I will be planning another drive down there (1.5hr) and will make sure I go back every time I am in Lenoir. ... I may even detour if I am going to Knoxville.Thank you to the 11/8 pm TCBY gal! You made my week. ... Signed.... As picky as Sally (When Harry Met Sally)Dietary restrictions: I am 'Sally' I was taken care of!!”

“Google said they had canolis but they do not. They are generational Latina bakers. Everything is fresh, big and beautiful! Of course they have had to raise prices but still very reasonable. Yum!”

“We love Charlie! She makes our dining out experience fun! She's friendly, personable and attentive. We ONLY sit in Charlie's section because no one else compares to her! Thanks Charlie!”

“We went through the drive-thru with a large order. They accidentally missed one item. No big deal. I went in to ask for the one item. The manager was so nice and apologetic. He went above and beyond to make sure our order was correct. Great customer service. Our food was also delicious and fresh.”

“Young man with the pony tail that may be a manager…. He had the most encouraging attitude. He seemed very genuine to care about the people that step into his restaurant. This is a very well managed Buddys. The girl at the register was also very kind in the way she treated customers. Staff make all the difference— keep up the good work!”

“It was a Thursday evening while traveling on vacation when we ate here. I surprised that the restaurant was so crowded on a week night. However, I don't know the area so, it might be shift work or a football night, who knows. Anyway, we were seated fairly quick as a couple. The service was good. We enjoyed our food as usual at Chili's. I had the half rack of ribs and my wife had the Nacho's. The meals filled is up and had to have take home boxes for the left overs. The restaurant was clean, service was good, the noise was a bit high with so many people but, that is not Chili's fault. I would recommend this Chili's.”

“Had Valentines dinner with my wife and really enjoyed the experience. In my opinion if you can impress on that night you have done something. We both had the surf and turf, and I must say the steak was perfect. I had the scallops and while they were not bad they were not impressive either. I found them bland and a little on the rubbery side. The salad and veggies as a side were very good but we both wished we had tried the lobster Mac and cheese, it looked amazing... something to come back for. We were impressed by the decor and the menu selections but really thought the price was very reasonable. This will definitely go in our regular restaurant list! Now to figure out when we can go back and try the grill side of the clubhouse, the menu looks very good and maybe an even better value with a great list of music and trivia! One pet peeve, why does every restaurant think they have to bring some kind of “romantic” music in for Valentines? A live saxophone player in a small room is not romantic.”

“It’s Panda Express and most of their locations are consistent. Everything here was excellent - the noodles, super greens, Beijing beef, orange chicken, vegetable roll. Worst thing here was the honey walnut shrimp that I actually paid extra for. Very overcooked and hard. Maybe it was just old or a bad day. I’d have to say the best thing by far I loved the most was the super greens - something I’d least expect from a place like this.”

“Always service with a smile. The new menu is great. The prices are still very reasonable. Subway makes me feel happy.Vegetarian options: Make it your way. Lots of choices.Dietary restrictions: Options ..made fresh”

“Good god what a mess Over six people working and every single one has AirPods in their ears and they’re ignoring every attempt of communication with each other. Two employees are just standing there yawning while the man with the longer hair literally is doing everything . The girl in the purple just standing there yawning and playing with her hair. We’ve been waiting for over 25 minutes and still haven’t gotten food. $35 for two meals is steep maybe we’ll get them today.”

“As you'd hope, food was great, service could have been better but everyone was 6" deep in snow and probably not a day to be judgemental. I was in tattered overalls so i probably radiated "non-tipper". Even at this, they are the best Mexican in Lenoir City and will be back exspecting 5⭐ and taking ”

“Was not expecting the high energy staff that was there. Had a nice meal. Enjoyed some juke box music and left full and energized. Thanks. Keep up the good work.?”

“After 1230 on a Sunday it would be expected to be busy, and it was however we were greeted, sat, and had waters within two minutes. In today's Era that is a miracle. Cold was cold and hit was too. Sushi bar was adequate and the hibachi grilled my offering to perfection. I was impressed for the venue and cost with tip $40 for 2. Well done”

“I'm never disappointed at Calhoun's. Whatever I order is always good, the service is typically average or better, and the atmosphere by the river is splendid. The brisket sandwich was excellent this time.”
