    a tray of ribs and coleslaws
    John M.

    Our server, Morgan, was quite attentive throughout our meal. The restaurant is quite spacious and quiet during the lunch service. Nice to be able to carry on a conversation without shouting. My wife ordered the BBQ Ribs with a side of Spinach Maria. The ribs were absolutely delicious, luckily she ordered the full slab and didn't mind my poaching. I had the Southern Fried Catfish with the Spinach Maria. Both were very well done. This will surely be our go to spot in the future.

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!

This time we ordered the Cauliwings with Garlic herb sauce (which I think is actually a salad dressing). We also got the fries and used the spicy mango sauce on them which is a huge flavor burst and better than ketchup! They had the Einstock toasted porter, which is a fave. Overall great experience, Deliza said they'd been opened since April 2025, and this location is way more convenient for us than west Knoxville. Plan to make this a regular stop! Since April

Spouse and friend, per waitress recommendation, ordered a Mountain Margarita which is made with moonshine was ok, nothing special. Service: 9 out of 10. Came on a Friday night about 5:45 PM, several people there but table was immediately available. Problem with booth was tightness of space and table in booth is secured so can not be moved. I am 6 ft 3 in and weigh close to 300 lb so it was a tight fit. Staff had no objection to moving us but in doing so took us to the bar area which was quite loud so per our request moved us into the dining area which was better. Waitress came to table almost immediately was knowledgeable in that she has been at restaurant for 2 1/2 years. She was good about checking on us periodically and responded quickly to our requests. Other staff were friendly and helpful. As stated above food was brought to table in a reasonable amount of time. Ambiance: 8 out of 10. No complaints. Typical sports bar with numerous tv's around. chairs were comfortable and in good condition and restaurant appeared clean and well lit. Noise, outside the bar area was ok allowing us to converse easily. Loud noise, a pet peeve of mine, I find is quite common in a lot of restaurants.

We shared the house salad with the creamy feta dressing. It was yummy with local fresh heirloom tomatoes and plenty of mozzarella. They have an extensive menu, but I had the pizza last time, which was really good, so both my husband and I ordered pizza this time as well. His was a 14" hamburger and bacon with traditional tomato sauce. Mine was a 12" Alfredo base sauce with ham, bacon, onion, black olives, and spinach. I typically eat gluten free as a preference to help with my inflammation, but they use a sourdough crust that is more easily digestible. The pizza was delicious; crispy at the back but just chewy enough to not be too crunchy. Our server did a great job taking care of us, bringing refills without us having to ask, and checking in frequently. The atmosphere is cool, having things local to Tennessee. It's a bit of a sports bar feel with plenty of big screen TVs on the walls with different games on. The kitchen is open and you can watch them hand toss pizza crusts and see the pizza oven, and the fired grill. Overall, we'd give it 4.5 stars and definitely go back again!

We pulled into the parking lot, and I could hear my compadre, RIP, say to me, ' Si está ocupado, va a ser bueno." If its busy, its going to be good. The parking lot was full and the inside of the restaurant was busy. We walked in and our Mom who was a teenager during the 50's loved the decor and signage and my brother immediately gravitated towards the pinball machines. We sat down at a booth. The booths are a little tight if you're tall and have had a couple of cheeseburgers over the years. The good news is that the table is moveable Our server Finch was delightful. By the way, it was her Birthday on the day we were there and even though she was working on her Birthday, she was still having a lot of fun. The regular menu is HUGE. I'm not talking Cheesecake Factory HUGE, I'm talking about triple that...... There's about 50 different burgers and I'm probably missing some. There's burger with a fried bologna slice and american cheese There's a burger with Military Chow The menu is clear to understand but there's an overwhelming amount of choices. I didn't see the vegan menu in the regular menu so I politely asked Finch for the vegan menu, and she skipped back to me with it. Wow - A lot of choices as well. Hot Rod's uses Beyond Meat for some of their burgers but they also custom craft their veggie burgers. The vegan cheese on my burger was most likely Follow Your Heart or Violife, but it was properly melted. The Beyond Burger was a frozen slab without any seasoning but cooked through. I would have preferred some seasoning but hey - I'm not going to knock it. The portion of fries is massive. The vegan ranch is Follow Your Heart and was a nice dipping sauce for the fries. My brother had a buffalo chicken sandwich and my mom had the reuben. We all shared the vegan banana split. Hot Rod 50's Diner as stated by another Yelp reviewer may be the best diner in the United States.

Address: 1139 Franck St. Alcoa, TN 37701 Food: 5/5 I got the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich, and it's the best chicken sandwich in Blount County! Perfectly crispy and sauced. The flavors are great, and it's cooked excellently every single time. The fries were also very good and seasoned well. My mom got the Bacon Jam Burger, and she absolutely loved it! Great flavors, but the one thing she would change is having the bacon cooked more so it's crispy instead of floppy. We also got the Nachos for an appetizer, and they were honestly the best nachos I've ever had! The chili and jalapeño cheese sauce were the stars of the dish, and the chips were perfect and didn't break at all. What impressed me the most was that the last time my mom got the nachos, they were not very appealing, but this time around the presentation was spot on. This tells me that this restaurant listens to criticism and fixes its mistakes/issues. ‍ Service: 5/5 Matthew was our server today, and he did a great job! Service was fast, and the staff did an excellent job informing us about additions to the menu. Atmosphere: 5/5 This restaurant is always clean, and the vibes are amazing. This is the place you want to eat at while watching sports. You'll feel right at home if you're a sports fan looking for a great place to eat. Value: 5/5 Our lunch was absolutely worth the price we paid. The portions were great, and we left full without feeling like we wasted anything we ordered. Final Thoughts Kickback Jacks is the place to be for a great lunch or a fun hangout spot to watch any sporting event. I highly recommend ordering the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich and the Nachos.
