    Pork chop, quinoa rice, cornbread stuffing
    Marian M.

    While finishing up at Silver Creek Dental, we asked the receptionist where we should eat lunch and she said she eats at Corner 16 all the time. Off we went! We were seated without a wait and our orders were taken quickly. Our waitress, Summer, handled my nut allergy professionally and with style. I ordered the pork chop with a side of cornbread dressing (hence the need to check for nuts) and my husband got the fish and chips. I was glad the chops came with the spicy/sweet sauce on the side, as it was tasty but too spicy for me. The chop was thick and cooked perfectly. The dressing was almost too salty but yummy. I wish there had been a wee bit more of the quinoa rice than what came with it. My husband loved the fish and chips and remarked that there was more fish than coating, a rarity nowadays. My only complaint was that it was very cold inside. Overall, a great lunch.

    Tomato Pie, broccoli, tater tots (I started eating before I took this cuz I was hungry)

    Went for another friend's birthday. It was still good. Lots of fried foods that were crispy and tasty. Service wqs fine and the ambiance was pleasant. There weren't as many people as usual but it was still fun.

    Bird crap! Nests above tables AND birds sitting on lighting ropes above tables and kids play area.

    Food prep is mid--good... A little hit or miss. Poor execution and lack of detail. Definitely been there when it was fair-good and times when it was less than. Most recently, chicken sandwich was dry and compacted, tasted as if the "burger" was freezer to frying pan. Broccoli was put on the plate with the sandwich--rendering the bottom bun a worthless soggy mess. The fish (n'fries) was somewhat greasy and very small portion... fish came medium heat, as if not delivered straight from fryer, same with fries after explicitly requesting "hot" fries. Waitresses came back with a 1/2 order correction but didn't get them to me until after the meal was done. They have a real bird issue that I'm shocked doesn't violate Knoxville's Health Codes. Birds nesting above tables. We had to move our table as one bird, wanting to reclaim its rightful place from above, pooped just missing our table. It's obvious that these birds are well established--i.e., the management is in neglect of oversight for cleanliness.

    Our daughter took us here for lunch. Were pleased with the expansive breezy patio. It was a lovely day with perfect temperature and a nice natural breeze, but they had a large fan set up just in case. We were also pleased with the menu selection. Dan and I shared a bacon, pimento cheese, and fried green tomato sandwich with a side of onion rings. I liked the onion rings. Dan prefers thicker onion rings that hold their shape better. I saw plates piled high with French fries. They looked awfully good. I think thats what I will order next time. We liked our sandwich except we would have preferred it a little less toasted. Also, the fried green tomatoes didn't hold up under the melted pimento cheese. I would have preferred them in my plate instead of in a sandwich. Our server, Natasha, gave us good service and was helpful to our daughter who is on a new food allergy diet. There's lots of interesting offerings on their menu that we want to try. That includes some $6 cocktails and $7 martinis. I had a cosmo. I want to try their classic martini. For $1 extra we can get Tito's. We will be back.

    Celebration time for a great meal. We sat at a high top in the bar about 80 minutes before closing at 10pm. The waitress was friendly and answered our drink and food questions We ordered a cup of brisket and barely soup to start and them chicken and dumplings and pork chops with worchestire butter and a side of mushrooms. My whole trip across 3 states the food has been lacking and tonight we found a great meal. The soup was full of flavor, (doesn't need anymore salt.) And the chicken and dumplings were in a perfectly balanced gravy with very tender chicken. The dumplings were amazing taste and texture ( we wanted more than 2 though) The super star was the pork chops juicy and seasoned well with that great butter. The mushrooms were the perfect partner. We were even able to catch a beautiful sunset on the back deck where they have a bar and corn hole. If in TN again we would definitely eat here. Thank you. Thank you.

    Great menu and a lot of drink options. We sat outside and as the sun went down you so bake outside since there is no shade they can pull down to block the sun. The kids played corn-hole and had some spade to run around. They do live music but I'm not sure how often. Our server Spencer was great and was patient with us since we were in no hurry. Great service and the drinks came out very wuick

My wife, mom, and I arrived around 7:45 PM--just 15 minutes before their posted 8:00 PM closing time. I asked if it was too late to get dinner, and without hesitation, several staff members welcomed us in with big smiles and said, "not at all." That kind of genuine hospitality is rare, especially that close to closing. Brooklyn took care of us, and she was outstanding. From start to finish, she never once made us feel rushed, and neither did anyone else on staff. There wasn't even the slightest hint that they were trying to wrap things up for the night. That speaks volumes about the culture there. We've driven past this place for years saying, "we need to try it," and now our only regret is not stopping in sooner. The food was phenomenal--true Southern-style comfort food made fresh daily. I had the chicken fried steak, my wife had the pulled chicken, and my mom ordered the bologna sandwich. Every dish was spot on. My wife actually stopped in a month or two ago and has been going back every week or two since--and now I completely understand why. The restaurant was impeccably clean, and the entire staff gave the impression that they genuinely enjoy working there. That kind of environment doesn't happen by accident. They hit the mark in every area--food, service, cleanliness, and overall experience. 10 out of 10 cast iron skillets--seasoned to perfection and worth coming back for again and again. Highly recommend!!!

I had not been in DECADES -- but someone mentioned that they did a good chicken-fried steak, so I had to try. (I'm from Texas where CFS is part of the holy Trinity of Mexican, barbecue and CFS). Well, the CFS was pretty good, but I won't say great. Big, well-breaded, tasty and with good white gravy. But the sides were superb; I had fried green tomatoes and potato salad. I loved the chow-chow sauce combined with ranch dressing on the FGT, and the salad was very creamy and tasty. I'm not a potato salad snob; I've had it done many ways and I know some prefer one style over another....all I know is this went fast. Oh, by the way, it's a BIG meal. No person should eat all of that in one setting! I nearly forgot, I loved the cheese biscuit. It was very dense and so tasty. Hard to stop eating that before I packaged up about half my meal (and enjoyed very much the next day). Amenities-- they sell beer; even though I did not have that day, I know some meals I'd have loved to add a well-priced bottle. Service was great, friendly and responsive. I like the places that let me scan a QR code to pay and tip, and they had that. Also offered lots of desserets, both at the table and with a little bakery corner when you walk in/out, so you could pick up cookies, etc. At first I thought it was a bit pricey ($17 for most meat-and-two plates), but with the quality, worth it all. Oh, I even enjoyed the clientele...this is the kind of place full of older folks, one of whom had to comment on my food as she walked out, and then she stood and chatted with me a few minutes about how good it all was. Classic!

I ordered The Farmer, a chicken biscuit with cheese, bacon, and apple butter. The biscuit was warm and fresh, the bacon was crispy, and the chicken patty was quite substantial. The poor thing was drowning in apple butter though, which made it too wet (and too sweet). Even scraping some of it off it was already too soggy. A tad less sauce and it would be perfectly balanced. The smashbrowns had a nice crisp and I enjoyed the kick of the pepper jam. Also, big fan of the cute coffee bar. I could taste the hints of maple in the coffee. If I have to eat out for breakfast, Maple Street seems to be a good choice. And yes, this location is on Kingston Pike not Maple Street.

Unfortunate for me though, I had to sit right under an air conditioning duct. I bet that the gentlemen were wishing that it was my girlfriend who had that seat. (I think you get the points.) Our meals were as fresh as can be, and tasty too. We had no problem cleaning our plates. It was fairly crowded when we got there. But if you don't mind sharing a table, you'll find a spot for sure. There's outside seating if you like. Quick Tip: Get there early, or get there late, cause if you get there during prime chow down, you'll be lucky to find a seat. Even the cold zone will be occupied. You may want to wear a bra....Just in case.

Soup dumplings were the standout, and skewers were good (just very small). Everything else ranged from underwhelming to overly sweet, especially the duck pie.

Maybe it was an off night, but based on this visit, we wouldn't rush back.
