Not the place for me…read more.. I would guess this is a good place if you are someone from the neighborhood or a regular but it was not friendly and the service was bad. The food was OK, but i expected some English pub type food, but it was just the same type of sandwichs prepared differently. The service was bad. I ordered my food and had pay for it right there just like at a Burger King. They dropped the food on the table and left. Nobody ever checked back to see if it was made correctly or if I needed anything. So many other places with better service and food - definitely a hard pass on a return visit...

Thank you Yelpers! We stopped at Gourmet Market for breakfast while passing through Knoxville, and…read moreit ended up being one of those "we'll definitely be back" kind of places. My partner had the Irish Bennie on gluten-free bread (which can be hit or miss elsewhere, but they nailed it), and I went with the Frog in a Ditch--both were flavorful, well-balanced, and clearly made with care. We added fresh fruit and collard greens on the side, which felt like a perfect mix of fresh and hearty. Drinks were just as fun: I tried the breakfast margarita (heads up that there's grapefruit juice if you take morning meds), and my partner had a lavender lemonade with gin that was super refreshing. Big shoutout to our server, Melissa: she made the whole experience feel easy and welcoming. Overall, an outstanding first visit. If we're ever driving through Knoxville again, this will absolutely be a stop.

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.

They melt chocolate from chocolate bars for chocolate syrup.. come on? The drinks are always beautiful! yummy! and hot or cold (depending on what you order!) Also it is so close to campus, cars full of college girls come at a time. This owner sells A LOT of local shops merch in Camp Honey. She's using her space to support the community! I love it! The space is used VERY consciously and they have as many tables and chairs as they can without it being cramped! They ALWAYS have beautiful signs, flowers, decor to go along with the season. Lastly, I see a lot of negative comments about the owner. Firstly, she is a small business owner who was getting attacked on social media for something that was out of her control. When that happens to anyone they put their guard up. This is her dream. If you don't like her then don't come here but bringing her whole business down bc you don't like what she posted on her own account is silly. She is serious about her business and the community she's grown. She DOESN'T play. COME GET COFFEE HERE! OR MATCHA! OR A MUFFIN! OR JUST TO STUDY!

Two eggs (poached) choice of meat - Chicken Apple sausage patties, two come with this order and then seasoned breakfast potatoes (the diced up kind). Bread choice was sourdough grilled, but they missed that part and way too much whipped butter. Then they stacked it butter facing up on all the pieces, so now you have butter on both sides and it's messy!! Just a droplet of jam to go with your toast. Seems the kitchen was WAY overwhelmed with today. Super slow getting food to us. Service only made it by once to check on us and refill drinks. Just Sunday seems not the day to visit this First Watch. Also had an order of Million Dollar Bacon. So good when trying to take photo only one piece left.

Cazzy's is snazzy! It's a solid place with a good menu, slightly more upscale Americana…read more I ordered the spicy pork bowl. I liked the sauce on the pork and the sunny side up egg brought a good amount of yolk into the dish. Everything mixed well with the sesame flavored cucumbers and jalapeños. The rice was pretty plain but paired with everything else it was fine. I think I'll try one of the salads or power bowls next time, as they come highly recommended! I also had a bite of the smoked salmon from the power bowl and a bite of the chicken piccata. I normally don't like chicken piccata but the lemon and caper flavor did not overpower and the angel hair pasta was very soft. A bit on the pricier side for a lunch but I enjoyed what I had at Cazzy's. I hear both locations are very consistent as well.

I had been performing handiman duties for most of the day…read moreand wanted a casual sitdown meal between projects, so I recommend Cazzy's listing be updated. Now, the experience. We did not have any drinks but the offerings cover the local, standard and top shelf tastes. The staff is even invited to events to learn about food and drink parings. Lunch was grab and eat. It was very quiet becasue we were well past the lunch rush and before the early dinners. I needed something more than a salad or bowl even though several were tempting. Not always a burger guy, but a bison burger will draw my attention. You don't see bison much in TN. Delicious. Juicy enough I needed an extra napkin. The second reason I chose the burger was for the carrot fries. I don't ever remember having them before or even seeing them. Their good, no reason they can't be a replacemnt to traditional fries and they don't "sag" as much as sweet potato fries. In my case, the kitchen put potato fries on the plate rather than carrot fries. Our server, Daniel noticed it and brought out a separate plate with proper side. Great service there. Another upgrade is that seasoning on the fries. There are several different ones and they differ byt the dish and fry. It was fun to compare the difference on the plate. So, cazzy's is not at diner but a fine gastropub.

What kind of bread do you want" very unprofessional customer service and piss poor attitude to the bitch who called.

This a great lunch stop. I've tried several sandwiches and all of them so far have been good. I like the bread, the wheat is very nice. I don't get the plain white bread usually. Its soft and fresh. Nixon's is just a simple deli style restaurant without a lot of fuss, but the food is good and the prices reasonable. This location is always clean and the people are friendly. read more
