Definitely worth the moderate drive to try some of the best Indian flavors in the area. The…read morerestaurant is unassumingly attached to a gas station, but don't let that deter you! Hands down the best Indian food I've had in the Knox County surrounding area. 1 dish is enough to feed 2-3 people - and I wanted to try multiple dishes, so I definitely had to ask for takeout containers and even then I had lunch and dinner for the next couple days covered! I went during dinner hours, but they do offer a buffet everyday from 11am to 3pm - which I will try next time to try more flavors at an even more affordable cost. Food did not come out extremely fast - so a good sign that it is freshly made to order and not just reheated frozen sauces with protein thrown in. The kababs came out sizzling and biryani came out steaming! The lamb was not gamey at all. The hospitality was quick and pleasant also!

We picked this spot specifically because they cook with ghee--and let me just say, that decision…read morepaid OFF. We came for the lunch buffet, and I'm still thinking about it. Every dish was rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Indian food can be hit or miss sometimes, but this place? Oh, it's a solid HIT. The atmosphere is spotless and inviting (which matters more than people admit), and the staff? Top tier. Super kind, attentive without hovering, and quick to bring anything we needed before we even had to ask. Honestly, this is the kind of place that ruins other Indian spots for you--in the best way. Safe to say, I'll absolutely be back... probably sooner than I should be.

Calhoun's at Fort Loudoun Marina is always a lovely spot for a meal. With a full bar and…read moreexcellent food this is a year round destination and during the summer months the marina provides amole entertainment when sitting on the balcony. Our server was most attentive and responsive to our needs. My wife had bacon wrapped burnt end and I had the teriyaki chicken with rice. We watched the seagulls, and other birds out the window and due to the cold, no boats came or went while we were there. Calhoun's is excellent for lunch meetings, birthdays, etc. I heartily recommend them anytime of the year.

Set directly on the water, this spot delivers barbecue with a point of view--bold, unapologetic,…read moreand rooted in comfort done right. The setting does half the work for you, but the food more than holds its own. The fried green tomatoes were the clear opener: crisp, well-seasoned, and properly balanced between tang and crunch--no excess grease, no filler. Exactly how the dish should be executed. The half smoked chicken followed, tender and deeply flavored, carrying a clean smoke that enhanced rather than overwhelmed. The okra was cooked with restraint, avoiding the common pitfalls of sogginess, while the fries arrived hot, golden, and assertively seasoned. This is relaxed waterfront dining with confidence--barbecue that knows what it's doing and doesn't feel the need to overexplain itself. A place worth trying

Always something to enjoy, even for the picky eaters in the group. Fruits, rice and sides, easily 10-15 proteins, an array of jello, cream cups, cakes and the ubiquitous ice cream case.

I went for the seared Ahi Tuna salad. The lettuce was perfectly fresh and the Ahi was cooked perfectly. The dressing is some sort of "Asian vinaigrette" which I liked a lot. There were a LOT of wasabi peas, so I pushed some to the side since I am not a fan of super-spicy food. The other person has some food allergies and the server was very knowledgeable about their menu and she was able to give several recommendations. He chose a "custom" item that she described and he was pleased. The server was attentive, yet not overly bothersome. NICE JOB!

My mom said Asia Kitchen is the best Chinese in the city now. Unfortunately if that is correct, then it makes me very sad. I have eaten at "Real" Chinese restaurants before and this is not close imo. I got Szechuan Beef...this is supposed to be a very spicy dish. My order was not spicy at all...not saying it was bland, but it didn't have the "kick" I was expecting. My mom shared a whole steamed fish with her friends. They did enjoy it, but it wasn't for me. I have decided to bump my rating up to four stars because of the wonton/egg drop soup. I didn't even realize this was a thing. We got one large serving and it was plenty for the table. Finally the reason i didn't give 5 stars was because of the table service. The others brought wine , but i ordered a Diet Coke when we were seated. Unfortunately it never arrived...our server acknowledged my order, but I guess she forgot during the dinner rush. I did have water so I didn't complain. Overall dinner was ok...it was very nice that we were allowed to take our time.
