We had a chef salad minus meat and egg (vegetarian daughter in tow), a kids cheese pizza and the abridged cheeseburger. All three items were terrific. The only slight criticism is that the pizza kitchen is separate from the main kitchen so the pizza arrived in 5 minutes along with the salad and then the burger came out 15 minutes later. No knock on the restaurant because all three dishes were terrific and cooked to order. The quality of the ingredients stands out as superior to most restaurants and you can tell they care in how they plate and prepare the dishes as well. We sat at a high top table in the bar and the server was polite and friendly.

Not a breakfast place but a damn good sandwich. Customer service was 10 out of 10. Ruben and Italian sandwich were 10 out of 10. And the fries lasted us for the 5 mile tour we had of the campus. So good. Best yet was the very kind gentleman who spoke highly of UTK and made us feel very welcome. Will go back.

They give me the authentic Chicago hot dog joint, just on the far, far, far Southside. The Chicago hot dog was authentic. Not only do they use Vienna Beef hot dogs but they use Vienna Beef poppyseed buns. That is truly legit. Also had the Italian Beef. It was good, not great, but very good. We also had an order of breaded mushrooms and onion rings. Both hit the spot. The onion rings were probably higher rated, and according to the fellas who work there, they are beer battered. And thank God they don't try to force ranch dipping with these like other spots do. Ketchup is the appropriate dipping for both shrooms and rings. Highly recommend them, will be going back. A lot.

Big Kahuna's Wings…read more Big Kahuna's has quickly become one of those places I'll happily return to. The restaurant was clean, open, and inviting from the moment we walked in. The layout flows well, the signage is clear, and everything felt welcoming and well thought out. One detail I especially appreciated was a sign displayed on the wall near the kitchen that speaks to their commitment to high-quality food and excellent service. I love when a restaurant is willing to put its values front and center for everyone to see. More importantly, they backed it up. The customer service here was top-notch. The service was excellent from start to finish. The bartender was friendly, attentive, and genuinely enjoyable to talk with. The manager took time to visit with us and share a little about the business, including the owner's expansion to multiple locations and the charitable work they do in their communities. It's always nice to support people who invest back into the places they serve. The food was the star of the show. The traditional wings and the Kahuna wings (full-size wings) were both fantastic. The dry rubs were outstanding--we tried the Original and Fire, and both delivered great flavor. Of all the sauces we sampled, the Garlic Parmesan Buffalo was the clear winner. Right behind it was their homemade barbecue sauce, which was absolutely incredible. In fact, it may be my favorite barbecue sauce I've had in a long time. Both were packed with flavor and worth ordering again. The homemade chips were also a pleasant surprise, loaded with seasoning and flavor. The only item that missed the mark for me was the smoked cream cheese special. It seemed a bit overdone, which took away some of the creamy texture. I think it would really shine paired with a pepper jelly or something similar to add a little sweetness and contrast. Overall, this was a strong four-star experience. If Yelp allowed half-stars, I'd happily give it 4.5 stars. Great atmosphere, outstanding customer service, delicious wings, excellent sauces, and a business that appears to care about both its customers and its community. We'll definitely be back.

John and I usually get a cold beer with dinner, and tonight it was SO COLD:). I had the chicken tenders and John had the pork tenderloin with apricot sauce. I chose the tenders tonight because the order is kinda large and I knew I would want the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. The seasoning on the wings and fries is second to none. And the jalapeño ranch is on point! John said the pork with apricot sauce was just the right amount of heat, which was a nice surprise. And the pork was cooked exactly how it should be! The best part of our meal was the newly added menu item Smoked Cream Cheese with hot honey. I'm not kidding when I say this was epic. The heat was perfect, but the bbq chips are what pulled this together. I will get this every time we dine here. And as always, our servers were great and fun. Logan and Gabby have never let us down. I love restaurants where the folks enjoy their jobs. I wasn't sure about BKW when they opened in Maryville, but I am now so glad they did. Who knew a wing place would have such a nice selection of food that doesn't feel so much like bar food. Additionally, the noise level is always good, and there isn't lots of distraction. (It's hard to enjoy your date when you can't hear what is being said) Thanks BKW!
