“Made a reservation for 3 Friday night. We got right in no problem. It was wonderful. Herb bread and cheese was a very interesting and tasty combo. Tried the filet with the leeks and puree- so amazing. The service was great and attentive. Everything was super clean and asthetically pleasing. It was my first visit after months of wanting to go and it did not disappoint. I will go back with my husband soon!“

“What a Rueben! Their sandwiches, panini, and pizza are always so good! The outdoor patio with live music is fun. We don't drink, and we still love going there for the food and occasional music. It's a fun atmosphere, almost like being on a beach vaca. Music is hit or miss, but the food is always yummy - and you can always sit inside the restaurant as well.“

“A clean restaurant. The server was really nice and attentive. The food is good. Try the elk burger and rosemary fries! They have a decent beer selection. Unfortunately, the beer on tap wasn't cold enough. Minus the beer not being cold enough, it was an above average dining experience.“

“Ate there Saturday afternoon. Was greeted at the door and accommodations were made for our party to see the basketball game. The old fashioned I ordered was very good and the food that arrived shortly after was excellent. The salmon was cooked to perfection. Ended the meal with a banana pudding that was different than any I've ever eaten before. That was a good thing. It was excellent. Can't wait to return and see if they can duplicate my experience.“

There is a public park right across the street. Bring some extra paper towels and wet hand wipes. Drive to a park or any spot and enjoy.“

“Food was excellent and service was fast and friendly but something odd happened. We ordered burgers and onion rings, and we had driven twenty miles, one way, to try this particular meal. Our server said, "I'm sorry but we don't serve onion rings on Saturdays. Would you like fries?" I found that sooo peculiar... and arbitrary but I agreed to fries and waited for my food. While eating an excellent burger and very good fries, a couple in the booth behind ours ordered burgers with onion rings. His server (a different server) wrote his order down and walked away. I continued eating, expecting his server back, any minute, to tell him that, as is their practice, he would not be having onion rings with his burger since it was Saturday. Is Saturday a Latin word for 'serve no deep-fried onions'? I kept eating, anticipating his disappointment when he got the bad news, then there she came, as I felt certain she would, carrying a lovely plate with a big burger and a mound of crunchy onion rings. ?? WTH? Is there a secret password I'm unaware of? I'll go back because the breakfast menu looks yummy but I'll have my eyes on that server. ?“

“Most good hotels have a restaurant attached. Burchfield's is a restaurant with a hotel attached. Been there several times for Sunday night jazz. This year for St Paddy Day. Special Irish menu and 2 Guinness for $8. Shepard's Pie was outstanding. Luke, our waiter was great as usual. We had him other times. Jazz night is Sunday. Call for a schedule. Can't figure if it is once or twice a month. Near as I can tell the "house band" is a group of local jazz musicians who are happy for visitors to sit in. Talent ranges from "pretty good" to "amazing." Bring your ax if you play. For St Patrick's day the gang was hot. Three sax, a bone, two guitars, trumpet, keyboard, drums, vocals. At least three people sat in on the drums. Great food. Reasonable prices. No cover. Fun to watch jazz talent improvise and play off each other. Don't for get to tip the band too!“

Razzleberrys Ice Cream American • $
215 Jackson Square, Oak Ridge

“I came during Oak Ridge's annual Lavender Festival, and saw that this shop made lavender ice cream. I am not typically adventurous with my palate, but *everyone* was getting that flavor, so how bad could it be? Spoiler: It was AMAZING. It had a subtle berry type of flavor, and was very refreshing. It was also pretty cheap compared to most ice cream shops. The line was long due to the Lavender Festival, but it was well worth the wait. 10/10 I'd come here again.“

“Best buffet anywhere close to Knoxville. Large selection and run more like a cafeteria. Great selection of Asian staples and American home style favorites. Food is refreshed often, stays hot/cold and consistent flavors. This is also the cleanest buffet we've found, with staff constantly wiping down counters and cleaning up spills quickly. Sushi is pretty good and made fresh with many options including sashimi. Habichi is good but could use more vegetable options. Fridays can get busy so the experience suffers a little but overall a great option for all tastes. Service is always good and this remains our families "go to" buffet. Only improvements might be more variety on weekly specials (it's been sweet and sour pork for months) and removing graffiti from the men's bathroom. The women's is fine.“

The food is always fresh, the atmosphere lively, and Caroline always takes excellent care of our table. The breakfast buffet, combined with the regular lunch menu make it easy for our kids to all find something they like. We have even gotten to know several of the employees and enjoy a good rapport with many. Highly recommend!“

“If you are riding Wind Rock and staying in Oak Ridge this is a great dinner stop. The entire restaurant had a great vibe and they happened to have Karaoke the night that we stopped in. The staff was friendly, the food was great, and the parking for trailers was exceptional. The only reason for 4 stars was they are a Bar and Grill and were out of our first 4 adult beverage selections. So, we had to settle for what they had vs what we normally would choose. We would still come back and definitely recommend checking them out“

“Good food, decent pricing, great staff. Just like everywhere else in today’s economy, pricing may be too high for the food that you receive. It’s not bad, and nothing that they can control, I just think all restaurants are priced a little higher than they need to be. I still go here quite often, so it doesn’t keep me from going.“
