    Visiting Farmacy for date night was a special treat. Parking is limited out front, but there are…read moreplenty of spots behind the building or in adjacent lots. We had a reservation and were seated quickly at a cute table for two. Unbeknownst to us, it was taco Tuesday, suggesting $3 tacos of various proteins. We ordered three as an appetizer and were amazed by how tasty they were. Don't skip the tofu- that was our surprise favorite. My wife ordered the pork belly and I, the enlightened bowl. The pork belly was incredible- the best we've ever had. Tender, soft, rich, and a generous portion. Plenty of leftovers there. My enlightened bowl felt extremely healthy and fresh. I felt like a horse in a pasture. I stole many bites of pork. I might suggest adding a protein besides the salmon crumbles (it comes with those, but think tuna packet texture). Overall, we had a fantastic experience at Farmacy and look forward to our next visit.

    High Hopes, Flat Landing…read more I'd had this place bookmarked for ages, and when out-of-town friends came for brunch, I thought, "finally, my chance!" Lesson learned: scope it out solo before bringing guests. We all left underwhelmed, and honestly, I was disappointed. Let's start with the good: it's an adorable spot, the service was stellar, and the cocktails were genuinely great. But the food? A real miss for me. I'd consider giving it another shot -- just not with the same order, or at least with some specific requests in hand. We kicked things off with beignets, which, in hindsight, was a bold move in Tennessee. As NOLA regulars, we know our beignets, and these weren't even in the same ballpark as Café du Monde. Instead of that light, pillowy pull-apart texture, they came out dense and crispy -- more funnel cake than beignet. The breakfast mains were a visual triumph and a textural letdown. I tried all three dishes, and my fellow diners agreed across the board. The "Sunny" had great flavor on top, but the bread underneath turned to mush almost instantly -- we ended up scraping the toppings off and eating it like a salad. If you order this, ask for the bread toasted. The biscuits and gravy had real potential, but the candied bacon overwhelmed everything with sweetness -- it completely took over the dish and made it hard to finish. Dave's eggs were fine on their own, but the hash alongside them wasn't much to look at, and the flavor didn't redeem the presentation.

    Hands Down, One of the Best Pizza Restaurants in the U.S.!…read more I'm not kidding, this place is that good! It rivals some of the best pizza we've had in Italy, and it's right here in Knoxville, Tennessee! HINT: Make sure you have reservations! We went on a Thursday night and the place was absolutely packed. Thankfully, we had reservations! Once we were seated, we cooled down with an ice-cold beer and got started with Sourdough & Olive Oil, simple, but incredibly good. Then came the Mozzarella and a Special Pâté & Pickle Plate, which included a Mushroom & Pistachio Pâté. WOW! That pâté was crazy good! If you like getting outside your comfort zone and trying something different, this is a MUST. My son and I love to venture out and try new things, so we decided to take it up a notch and ordered the Trust Fall. They basically take over and create two pizzas with random toppings for you. What a cool concept! And let me tell you... SO, SO, SO GOOD! They even created our starter for us and paired everything with a bottle of wine. The whole experience was fun, creative, and completely different from your typical pizza restaurant. We also ordered the Sofia, a Pepperoni, and another pizza whose name escapes me. Every single one was AMAZING! And here's another HINT... DON'T EAT TOO MUCH! You're going to want room for the homemade Gelato! It is fantastic. One tip: If you already know you want a favorite flavor, especially Chocolate, order it with your meal. They can run out of the popular flavors. If you order it early, they'll scoop it up and save it in the freezer for you. Now THAT is service! Service was amazing. The pizzas were incredible. The concept was creative and fun. The gelato was the perfect finish. I honestly believe these are some of the best pizzas in the United States! If you live in Knoxville, or you're coming into town for a Vols football game , what are you waiting for?! GET YOUR RESERVATION IN NOW! You will not regret it. Cheers!

I say generous because they were very nice and gave my lady a starter to take home. The pizza was amazing and full of flavor, the crust was like the best breadstick you've ever had. A simple Ambiance but trendy and clean, the restaurant is packed but efficient and I could tell immediately we were at the place that Knoxville comes for a great pizza

    Takes reservations

    We came on a very busy Saturday night (weekend of Dogwood Festival, theatre night, and prom night)…read more Thankful to have a reservation, we were promptly seated while others with no reservation were being told three hour wait times. I loved the vibe of Tupelo, the hanging lush green plants on the side of the bustling kitchen, the cheerful staff and the lively music. Lizette was our server and she was just a darling. It was our first time here, and she was so helpful with her all of her recommendations. One of Lizette's favorites was the "Peach, don't kill my vibe" sangria. Which I just loved. I nice mix of peach and pineapple in a sangria. For our mains, we had the grilled harvest chicken and the chicken tenders. Both mains came with two sides. With my grilled harvest chicken, I got the mashed potatoes and the braised bacon green beans. The green beans were to die for, even my hubby was saying he should've ordered that as his side. The harvest chicken I loved--especially the sautéed spinach, red peppers and tomatoes on top. But if you can't handle spicy, this dish does have some heat to it. And we ended my birthday celebration with the heavenly banana pudding. It was heavenly in every way. Made in house, and so delicious that even my hubby ate it and he never cares for this dessert. If I could've licked that little bowl, I would've. We already cannot wait to come back and try some of the brunch items on their menu. We loved everything about Tupelo and hats off to Lizette for making our night even more special!!

This time around my husband got that, and I tried the chicken and waffles... and it was outstanding. I had one of their mocktails as well and it was super tasty. The waitress was friendly and the atmosphere was cozy on the rainy evening it had turned into. Overall we enjoyed our experience and it was a wonderful way to have our last dinner out in Knoxville. It will remain a favorite place when we're in Tennessee.
