Salmon Salad
Chaz P.

After three nights camping in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, I took a quick day trip to Knoxville and stopped in at Corner 16--and I wasn't disappointed! I had the salmon salad, which was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what I needed to refuel after several long hikes. The outdoor patio was perfect with a refreshing breeze and ideal weather, while the inside décor stood out with quirky, one-of-a-kind decorations. The highlight of my visit was my engagement with Jeannie, a manager filling in for the day. She went above and beyond--giving me a tour of the restaurant, making sure my food and service were excellent, and even sharing a fun detail about the décor. She explained that kids sometimes leave toys behind, and the owner places them on shelves--dinosaurs, tractors, and other little "Easter eggs" for guests to discover. Such a creative touch that made the atmosphere even more memorable. I've also visited some of their other concepts, like Chesapeake's, and the consistency in quality and hospitality is impressive. Whether you're a local or just passing through Knoxville, Corner 16 is a must-visit!

Chicken & Dumplings
Wendy C.

Even though we live closeby for almost a year we'd never been to Corner 16. We decided to go there for dinner last night and we were blown away with the quality of our food and the service was great! Our server was Craig and he was very knowledgeable and helpful (also patient) when we asked about some choices on their menu. The general manager Ted came by and introduced himself and inquired about our meal. Ted and Craig made us feel welcomed and wanted to make certain we had a positive dining experience. We did and we will be back often! Thanks guys! PS The chicken and dumplings and the tomato pie was super good.!

Corner 16 - Off Northshore Drive at Pellissippi Parkway

Corner 16 is off my list of restaurants that I recommend. Had some people in town for the game Saturday and took them for dinner after the game. They had never been to a Corner 16 restaurant. I told the waiter when we sat down that I wanted the check for the whole table. The waiter allowed my guest to pay at the register behind my back. Dear Copper Cellar family of restaurants, learn to know your customer and you should have listened to the customer clad in orange and white and not the one wearing crimson. I'm guessing the tab for dinner was about $200 for the table. Good luck getting that again next year, because Alabama won't be in town. In the mean time, you pissed off a loyal customer who has always recommended the Copper Cellar family of restaurants. It isn't a lot of money to you. I probably only spend about $5,000 a year with your chain, but I am done. I will still take lunch at Chesapeake's West because I know the bartender, Suzy Cole, will follow my requests and treat me well when I am there. Meanwhile, Corner 16, which is only a mile from my house, you will lose out the most. I hope the corporate office gives you some training sessions on identifying your client base. VOL FAN FOR LIFE, former Copper Cellar customer.

Monte Cristo and French fries

Corner 16 is a gem! This is my third time going but my first review. The food, service, and ambiance of this restaurant is great. They also have a beautiful indoor/outdoor space perfect for the summer time and heated and cozy during the winter. We will be back soon for more good eats.

Seared Ahi Salad
John M.

Stopped here on our drive back home and had a wonderful lunch. Our waitress, Sami, was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the Seared Ahi Salad. The tuna was delightfully spiced and seared. The salad was very fresh. My wife ordered the meatloaf with blue cheese slaw. The slaw was creative and just amazing. This is definitely becoming a go to place for us.

The best onion rings you will ever taste
David C.

I have been a lover of onion rings for the past 50 plus years, but I've never found onion rings quite like these in both substance and taste. Corner I6 onion rings are indeed, hands down, positively, absolutely, unequivocally, unquestionably, unreservedly the best I have ever tasted!!!! These are not your run-of-the-mill oily or greasy kind. They are not the kind where you take the first bite and the entire onion slips out of the ring, leaving you with nothing more than a breaded ring in your hand. They are delicately breaded in a wonderful battered mixture of spices that is guaranteed to tantalize even the blandest palate. I could go on and on in my description, but you get the picture. To complement my onion rings I ordered the Wedge Salad which also belongs in a premier category all its own. The serving size is at least a third of a head of lettuce with outrageously tasty bleu cheese dressing and bleu cheese crumbles topped with delicious bacon pieces. Micaela was our server who was pleasant and attentive throughout our meal. She is a positive asset to this restaurant.

Patio
Gary N.

First visit to this location. We were seated right away outside since it was a beautiful night. Service was quick to see us and took drink order then on to dinner. I decided to try the turkey and dressing with a side of cream corn. The dinner was great and loved the cream corn. The outside area is unique with a large pavilion area in the middle with roof and garage type doors that can be closed if it rains or cold. Three sides are extra tables and play areas for adults and kids. Corn-hole boards set up in two of the areas. Also have a couple of fire pits outside. Inside is very nice. Great place to bring friends or family when in the area. Also good if you have younger kids cause you can turn them loose outside in their area. We will be regulars here.

Side of macaroni
Jill B.

Went with a big group for a friend's birthday party. We got there and everyone else was already seated. The hostesses had no idea if our party was there and were like "just look around". We found everyone outside. Ordered our beverages after about 15 minutes and ordered some appetizers shortly after. The rest of the group had ordered appetizers prior to us getting there and those still took a good while. They were delicious (the fried green tomatoes were good, stuffed jalapeños, cheese and sausage appetizer and the loaded tots) and I ordered an avocado awesome burger not realizing it was a veggie burger. It was underwhelming when it arrived. 3 tiny slivers of avocado and giant pieces of onion not even fitting into the bun. I even tried to fix the onion before I took a picture of it and it still looked sad. It would probably have tasted better if it was hot and not mildly warm with congealed pepper Jack cheese on it. The macaroni looked like it was stacked on top of another and flat on the top and pretty cold too. Fortunately my kids were too busy playing outside with the big exercise balls and some other kids that were there so they didn't notice it was squished and cold. (I tried to mix it up a bit so in the picture the flat part on the left is what it all looked like when it arrived at our table.) Overall, the appetizers were good. My dinner was mediocre so I am giving 4 stars (rounded up from 3.5) for the benefit of the doubt since we had a large party. If it was just us and my food took that long and my meal was so mediocre I would give it 3 stars. Even though I don't eat much meat and usually like vegetarian options, I would definitely not order the "awesome burger" again.
