I really like this place. Our server Jessica was very attentive and professional, the food was great, but we really liked the outdoor recreation area for our kids to let off some of their toddler energy. The food is fresh and really good. I recommend trying this place. read more

All around great place to visit. Great food, quick service, and great outdoor atmosphere even for the kids.

My fiance and I hadn't had a date night in forever so we traveled from Roane County to try this place (about 45 mins) with our 6 month old. We got there and ordered an appetizer and I got a helles. I was disappointed the beer was basically room temperature but the fried pickles were amazing! Probably the best I've ever had. We ordered our food and waited. And waited. And waited. And waited. Others came in and were served as we just kept waiting. Our server finally passed by us and quickly told us that our food had been given to another table by mistake and they were remaking ours. So we were like ok no big deal thinking probably just wait another 5 minutes or so and it'll be out. She came out and brought us a plate of cold French fries and said her manager said to give these to us and make sure we were good. We nibbled on them a bit but they were cold and just not good. So we waited longer and longer and longer, all the people who came in way after us were already eating and by this point we had been waiting for our food for an hour and our 6 month old was getting upset so we asked the server to have them box our food to go and bring our check. $50 spent on a date night we didn't really even get to have, and our food was cold by the time we got home because we had traveled so far to try the place. We did heat it up and it was very good which is the only reason I didn't give one star. We are usually very generous tippers and very grateful for service and we understand things happen, as food service workers are busy and it's a stressful environment and wires get crossed and they work hard etc etc, but it didn't seem like they cared much. Our dinner was given to someone else and we just nibbled on cold fries. I don't think we will ever be back to dine in, but I would still maybe order to-go as the food was great. It probably would've been even better fresh on the table. So use caution if you expect great service, go for it if you like good food! read more

First, let me preface this with - we went on opening night. There are always glitches or miscues that need to be worked out. The most obvious was the delay in one of our entrees and the soup not arriving as an appetizer, as requested. Despite the parking lot looking almost full, we were sat immediately. It is a smaller restaurant but they can pack them in. There is a restaurant area and a bar area. Both areas have multiple televisions. There is a yet to be opened outdoor area that has brackets for 4 more TVs. I think this will be a popular place on Saturdays in the fall. I had the soup and a burger and he had wings. Kiddos had grilled cheese and turkey sandwich. The soup was delish! I would come back just for it. It's hard to find good non-cream/milk based soups. I finished my cup ($4) and wished I had gotten the bowl ($6). It was hearty and seasoned just right. The burger was a little plain jane, but the brioche bun was good. Had I added some of the extras, it may have helped, but I ordered it as is. The beef was over cooked for medium well and the outside was black. The inside lacked flavor, but wasn't bad. It just didn't exceed expectations. Maybe if they seasoned the ground beef a bit more. The fries were good and had a healthy salting, so beware if you don't like salt (I mean a lot of salt) on your fries. The wings were scored at a 6-7 on a scale of 10. They were sized nicely for the price. The dipping sauces were extra on our bill. Add a side of salty fries and you have a meal. (Disclaimer - he didn't mind the salt and ate them all.) The kid's turkey sandwich is a carved loose turkey on a brioche bun. It looked good, but was hard for the kiddo to hold. The grilled cheese didn't get any complaints and was enjoyed with mac and cheese. We had milk to drink, which was served in some big glasses. They don't skimp on the milk portion but the trade-off is refills are not free. We would come back here, but I'd try something else on the menu next time to go with my new favorite soup! read more

We arrived at 6 o'clock and there was a 30 minute wait which is not too bad for a Saturday in Knoxville. We started out with the Smoked Sausage Cheese Plate and it was wonderful. Smoked sausage, 2 types of cheese, pickles, jalapeños, toasted bread accompanied with a mustard sauce and BBQ sauce. Smoky, cheesy, spicy and crunchy... yuuuum! So far so good. My wife ordered the BLT for her entree and she really enjoyed it. The bacon was delicious! Really thick and definitely smoked which added a different flavor compared to most BLT's. The waitress said that they take pride in their bacon and it shows! It was accompanied with Fries which to me tasted like a mix between McDonald's and Burger King. And yes that is a good thing. I ordered the 7 oz Sirloin cooked to medium rare with Smokehouse potatoes.... WOWSERS! The steak was cooked perfectly and had so much flavor! I loved that piece of meat so much that I had to stop myself from mooing! Marinating the steak in mustard and beer sets up a wonderful flavor profile. Also, it's topped with Worcestershire Butter that added another layer of flavor. Holy cow... literally! I only gave them 4 stars because the Mac and Cheese and Smokehouse potatoes were mediocre. But I still highly recommend Corner 16. Copper Cellar family of restaurants has another winner in my book! Get there early if you are coming on a Saturday because it was really busy after 6. We will definitely be turning this corner again! read more

Our first time here and we thought overall it was fine. Our server Raffaela was excellent. We opted for splitting two appetizers the fried green tomatoes and the brisket chili nachos. I thought breading on the Fried Green Tomatoes needed more seasoning, possible pepper and salt but overall we liked the dish. The brisket nachos are nothing special although we both agreed that we would try the chili alone next time. Like all new restaurants it is quite loud but overall we will be back read more

This place is great! Came here for lunch with 4 kids on a Saturday. Kids played outside while we stayed inside and watched from inside. The food was delicious!! Service was amazing! Coming back a lot. read more

Party of 4 and 2 people got the beef brisket which was 75% fat. I got fish and chips and the fish was in square chunks meaning they were compressed, fish "sticks" rather than fish filets. They advertise a "happy hour" but when we asked about it, the waitress said "that only applies to the bar area". What??? And when asked about other draft or bottled beer other than their own craft beer we were told "we don't have any". And to cap it off, they screwed up the bill. read more

Having recently relocated here, I'm not familiar with the restaurants in the area. I'm also not currently employed so going out to eat is truly a luxury. When it came time to celebrate my good friend's 55th birthday, I turned to Yelp for, uh, help. The reviews were AMAZING! Everything from the food & homemade sauces to the eclectic drink selection & desserts were off the charts! But perhaps the most intriguing aspect of nearly every review was the accolades about Nick the server. Was this guy for real?? I HAD to find out. So I called & made a reservation with Ashley - specifically requesting to be seated in Nick's section. Who makes reservations these days - esp at a casual restaurant on a Tuesday night? NOBODY! But I wanted a memorable experience & didn't want to leave anything to chance. Imagine my surprise when we arrive only to discover Nick wasn't working that night? Fortunately, Summer "S" was knowledgeable, accommodating & very friendly. Unfortunately, her great service couldn't make up for the food - which was good, but nothing to write home about. The wings were - not great, the fried green tomatoes (which had received stellar reviews) had a distinct, heavy oil taste & there was nothing special about the chicken parm (which, ironically, was the special). The chicken was moist but lacked seasoning & the marinara was bland. On the plus side, the chili was excellent & the homemade blue cheese dressing positively stellar! Look. I get that food's purely a subjective thing & it's impossible to please everyone. Maybe the fact that I'd read so many positive reviews was the ultimate "setup" for unmet expectations? And, while we were certainly happy with the service we received, the fact that I called in advance & specifically requested a particular server only to be told when I arrived that this server was off is inexcusable. I spent $80 on a meal that, while good, was anything but memorable. And that's too bad. read more

Great food, great atmosphere, great staff- we go 3-4 times a month. The tuna Sami's awesome

Consistent food quality and friendly service. Excellent atmosphere. Relaxed & Family friendly.

We stopped in for a bite on our trip. Food was delicious! I had the hot brown and husband had their signature burger. Both were good and served quickly. We also had the burnt ends which I highly recommend! Taylor F. was a great server, very friendly and attentive. Only complaint was front of house not being attentive or prompt. read more

Great food, nice atmosphere, lots of activities. I will definitely come back. I highly recommend it. read more

Corner 16 - PAtio fun with the ut game on - Southern Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

My husband had heard about this place and we decided to check it out. Absolutely the best meal we have eaten out in ages. He got their signature burger and onion rings and couldn't stop talking about them. I got the Monte Cristo with sweet potato fries. The sandwich was outstanding and came with warm maple syrup. The fries came with a brown sugar sauce for dipping that I could have eaten by the gallon. Rebecca, our server, was terrific and took great care of us. I can't wait to go back and try more of the creative items on the menu. Well done!!!!! read more

Corner 16 - Monte Cristo with warm maple syrup YUM!!! - Southern Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

This spot is really chill and personable! The waitress was friendly and suggested several things after I noted this was my first time at the establishment. The food came out quickly and in good portion and well worth the money. read more

Loved it! Fantastic atmosphere and service! Smoked Meatloaf was great - even if you do not like meatloaf. The Smokehouse Potatoes....yes, order them. We did not try the dessert but are going to visit again to try the other items on the menu. read more

One of my favorite go to restaurants for lunch or dinner. My wife loves the chicken dinner. I could eat their bacon wrapped bbq burnt ends. Their chili is some of the best I have ever had. read more

This was my first time. Ate inside, very noisy place. Food was good, I had the California Chicken. If you need gluten free they are lacking in selections. All restaurants need to step things up in regards to desserts. There are a lot of diabetics that would appreciate a sugar free treat after a meal. read more

Burnt ends were tasty. Seared ahi was passable if poorly done and the slaw lacked flavor. Wasabi was not fresh. The real fail happened with the banana pudding. What a disgusting mess. Parts of it was cakey and it was grossly sweet. Took a few bites and tossed the rest. Had an interesting white chocolate garnish on it that could have been good if executed correctly. Service was pleasant and speedy, I had takeout, called ahead. Felt a bit corporate which is distasteful for me. Stay away from the sorry excuse of a dessert and order carefully read more

Good comfort food and brewery. Sing on Monday and trivia on Tuesday- fun and good outdoor seating

A friend had heard friends raving about this place, so we decided to check-it-out. We started with their bacon on a stick. Wow! It came with syrup and I could eat this every day for the rest of my life. There was quite a bit of fat, but that didn't bother me. For entrees, I ordered country fried steak and she ordered salmon. Neither were bad, but we agreed other places have better versions. I don't believe either of us finished the entrees. I ordered a.side of cream corn and it was delicious. She ordered two sides -- a green (can't recall what) and mushrooms. She really liked.the mushrooms. We may return at some point, but won't order those same entrees. Not a bad place to eat, but didn't live up to the hype we heard (aside from the bacon). read more

Corner 16 - Evidently, my phone deleted the 1st photo, but this is the 2nd I took of the bacon on a stick. And, yes, that's a container of syrup. Wow! - Southern Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

Decent food. Nothing special. Great staff. Convenient location. I've been twice and they were out of my first option both times.

Tried this place because we were given a gift card. It is quite a drive from our home, with many more options on the way, but I will most certainly be trying this place again. I was very impressed with their house-made sodas, I tried the cherry vanilla one. I have already made plans to come back and try the other options. I had their corner 16 sub and it was very good. The bacon on it was so yummy and thick! The manager came to our table to make sure our food & service was great and I always think that's a nice touch. read more

The first time we went here it was amazing, the second time not so much, food is good but inconsistent, my daughter ordered her hamburger medium and it was so over cooked it was falling apart. but I highly recommend their stuffed tarot tots. We asked to pay with a visa gift card that has been a birthday gift Cir my husband and they told him they couldn't take that sort of payment. Which makes zero sense to me. read more

Lunched here for the first time, quite impressed by the facility and the dedication to distancing by the staff. The food wasn't much different from the Calhoun's locations, except for the addition of tomato pie (yummy!!) as a side choice; prices a couple of dollars higher. Great service. Terrific food. Lots of screens. Large bar and outdoor dining area, and a big part of outdoor area has "grass" and may be dog friendly. read more

Another copper cellar family restaurant. I could take it or leave it after the items we tried our first visit (monte cristo, bacon cheddar grits, and brunch burrito). I'd be happy to meet friends here if this is where the group wanted to go, but the hub and I agreed we'd never opt to come here ourselves. Excellent, quick, friendly service from Claudia was the best part. The host who sat us was also very helpful. read more

Had a great lunch sitting outside on the patio. Staff was very nice and restaurant was clean. Food was really tasty. Didn't get a picture of the fried green tomatoes appetizer because they were eaten up so fast. read more

Corner 16 - Two chicken dishes with tomato pie, cheesy grits and quinoa. Yummy! - Southern Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

This was my third and last try eating here (the other two times were way before Covid). Bloody Mary was average just celery and a lime so I asked for olives which I had to ask for two times. No biggie but strange to me a Bloody Mary with no olives. That wasn't even the real issue. My food was so SALTY and I like me some flavorful food with salt but this was so salty I felt I needed something to rinse my mouth out. I had the country fried steak with cornbread dressing. Couldn't even eat the dressing it was beyond salty. Three of us at the table ordered the same thing we all went home and instantly had "upset" stomach! Sorry I hate to leave negative reviews and have only left a few ever in my life but honestly it's overpriced and the food just isn't that good and had a brutal after effect. Third time was not the charm. The entire table of 9 agreed. read more

Giving it 3 stars because servers were great but the steak was tough and hard to chew. Mushrooms were great but for the price I paid they should include a second side item. Appetizers are pricey. Overall my evening meal looked like a lunch size portion. Am planning on coming back to try other items because the reviews are good for this restaurant. The atmosphere is awesome. Can't say anything negative about this place other than my steak. read more

Corner 16 - Southern Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

The selection of food was not very wide or appealing to me or my guest. Have not returned.

Always had a great experience here and the food is always delicious. Really the the sausage and cheese app.

We love this spot! Great food, service, and the kids even like coming here. The loaded tots we got last time weren't at all what we were expecting, but they were so delicious. They have great meatloaf and chicken tenders. And I really, really love that they have a kids salad on the kids menu. I've literally never seen this on a menu, and my son always wants a salad! Why don't other restaurants do this? Awesome little place. read more

I really like this place. Great atmosphere and really good food. I have eaten here about five times and had something different almost every time. It was all really good! read more

Loved it here! Took the family and a family friend out for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the food and the service. Steph L was attentive enough not to be annoying, but still came often enough to keep the drinks full. I had the Ahi sandwich and it was fantastic...will definitely be back! read more

Ya I'm a fan. Stopped here to meet some friends and this was my first time at corner 16. Definitely a good meeting spot, place is large, good parking and they have some good beer selections. The food was good, nothing to get excited about but the wait staff are excellent read more

Horrible night! Went to hear Gas Station Sushi play music. Children running between tables, screaming and throwing bean bags from lawn game. Talked to manager but nothing changed. To make matters worse wine served in a scrubby plastic glass. read more

Great neighborhood restaurant! A huge menu selection with options for every family member from young to old. We sat by a huge window overlooking the yard/play area so we could eat and drink while watching the kids play. Must try - deviled eggs, pretzel with beer cheese and all salads. read more

I haven't had a bad meal here. I have like 4 or 5 meals that I cycle between depending on my mood. They have a nice patio area which is dog friendly. My favorite dishes are the chicken BLT, the corner 16 burger, and the boneless wings (thunder road sauce is amazing). Also their sweet potatoe fries with the sauce they give you is so good. read more

I had dinner at corner 16 with my husband and our son on a Saturday night. We did have to wait a bit for a table. The bar was crowded, but we took advantage of the cool outdoor space complete with picnic tables, fire bowls and corn hole all on an AstroTurf base. The kids there were in heaven playing the games as their parents had their beers. I was a bit concerned about the fire bowls with all the kids coming too close. When we were seated we ordered salads all around as well as some pretzels with cheese that were delicious. The salads were fine and service was great. read more

Delicious food and fun atmosphere. Great for family or friends of all ages with an amazing outdoor space. Monte Cristo sandwich is amazing! Also had ale steak and pork chop which can't go wrong. Been many times and one of my favorite go to places! read more
