I was staying at a hotel just down the street and our experience was so good, My son and I had breakfast two days in a row here. Not only was Sierra and the team of people working the breakfast counter sweeter than the homemade jam, they were also engaging friendly and so kind to my son and me. Let's talk about the food. The homemade bread, perfectly cooked eggs, homemade local sausage, fresh local breads from the bakery around the corner, which I believe was Stick Figure or something like that, and probably the best pancake I've had in years. If you love breakfast- and I do not... you are not to miss this place. I must say that this May has turned me into a breakfast lover. Just a note, you'll probably wait an hour for a table... But the breakfast counter and community table are towards the back Thank you all! Hope to see you soon

I'd had this spot bookmarked for a long time as it was listed as the best place to get a tamale in…read moreall of TN by Yelp a few years ago. I found myself in Knoxville for work and the stars aligned; I managed to convince my coworkers to come have lunch here! We found parking in a large lot about two blocks away. It sadly wasn't free but we enjoyed walking around and looking in the shops. The inside of the restaurant was clean, cool, and cute. One wall contains lots of coolers/fridges where they store drink options (shout out to Wiseacre beer!) as well as lots of their tamales, which you can take home to prepare. Staff are happy to provide tips on how this can be done, as one of my coworkers took several tamales home (and her family was pleased with them too!). It seemed like only one person was working. He was extremelyyyy soft spoken and not super friendly, honestly, but our food came out in a timely manner and he wasn't rude or anything. Four of us, myself included, got the chicken tinga tamale, and one person got the classic tamale. I got mine as a meal, which came with rice, black beans, and curtido. I also nabbed a bottled tea. Personally, I didn't love the drink selection -- all a little too bougie/health food-y for me (I'm a simple girl who wants a simple Diet Pepsi or Coke or regular fresh brewed sweet tea) - but no big deal. Everything was quite good! I've been trying to decide if I like tamales or not and this place brought me to the conclusion that yes, I do - I just hadn't had one this good before! The corn was fluffy, the chicken was tender and well-seasoned and plentiful, and the salsa on top rounded it out well. The beans and rice were also very well seasoned and tasty accompaniments. I'd never had curtido (fermented cabbage) before, but I'd say it's a bit brighter than its Korean cousin, kimchi. I liked it but the portion was so large and the flavor so strong that I did ultimately tire of it after 4-5 bites. My coworker took the rest home! Overall, I get the hype around the tamales in particular. If you're craving one, definitely give this place a try!

I came across Kianga's Kitchen while checking out Marble City Market. Disclaimer: I'm not vegan…read more In fact, the day before eating here, I consumed way too much meat at Brazerios Brazilian restaurant. Perhaps my mind works in unusual ways. But, I thought I needed a vegan day to balance it out! And I really love soul food (vegan and non-vegan). I'd eat it all the time if this was closer to home. I'd had Kianga's greens one other time before this visit. That's what sold me on coming back. Those greens are super good! Best item in my opinion. Had a nice spice and flavor. Sweet potatoes & plantains were solid too. Also, they had a "stew of the day" -- which, today, was a Tuscan recipe. Overall: Very good meal. I'll definitely be back -- either as my main meal or for a side or two. Highly recommended. Very nice owners too.

We had the salmon bowl, delicious and served with a great curry, though would like more spice. Plantains are excellent. Off notes: 1. Natty bread is just greasy and not too good. 2.

The service is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The food is ... lackluster. Chipotle "Queso"…read morewas a thin soup that you couldn't even get on the chips because it was so thin. It was bland - it wasn't even mildly spicy. The Irie Itse has dry, tasteless chicken and pretty standard jar pesto. Kids butter noodle was bland and has very little butter. The sauce on The Mesach was good and the jalapeno lime cilantro dressing on the side salad was also good. For me this food (and three non-alcoholic drinks) is just not worth the $87 (including 20% tip) price tag.

The Bistro has a very deep rich Italian feel so initially we felt underdressed and I fear that stops some at the door if you're in comfy clothes, but inside it's very fun and friendly.

I really loved the ambiance of the place with the dark wooden bar and the oil painting of Miss Lil at the center of the bar. In the end, I just kind of wished that the food matched the ambiance.
