Though it is a bit confusing because you have to order your food at the bar then find a place to sit. I got the Nashville rub tenders, I wish my tenders had more seasoning on it, very scarce. The french fries were flimsy. Not very crispy unfortunately. I will say their ranch was very good!

I was a little surprised at the mashed potatoes because it was clearly a baked potato that had been smashed and buttered but it was actually very tasty. The chicken was delicious! The okra was good but a little undercooked. My husband had the Philly steak sandwich and he said it was great. He got fries which were crinkle cut (clearly frozen). I hate crinkle fries so I would have been sad if I'd gotten them but he likes them so all was well. The server was friendly. It was about an hour from closing when we got there. An extremely rude man and woman came in after us. They were picky and demanding. This is a roadside diner, not a five star restaurant. They cook things the way they cook them. You shouldn't go in asking for every little thing to be special made. The server was polite and accommodating to the rude people. I wanted to say something but there was no one else there so I didn't want to make any more problems for the server or cook. Like I said, it's a roadside diner and it looks like it. You're not going for the decor. The food and the view are why you go there. I'll definitely go back!

Like a speakeasy but lounge like and chill. Great vibe at lunch. Can't speak for dinner yet. I had a burger and fries. Simple enough. One bite of each made me grin ear to big ole ear. So so good. The other guy had a bisque and grilled cheese. He inhaled that sucker. I had an unsweetened tea- tasted like the pure tea brand- my favorite. Other guy had the Cubano coffee, which he forced me to taste. Stupid. No coffee should taste that good. The waitress was chill and did a great job. The food took a hot minute to arrive but we were not in a hurry: it ain't a drive through. Lots of GF options if that's a thing for you. I'll be back with the lil missis sooner than later. Loved it. My mouth is watering just typing about it.

It does cater to the low IQ's but on a different level. From a nurishment perspective, it is the sledgehammer used on hazelnuts. Selectivly it filters out the floor knuckle rubbers and the ignorants. It deserves to be in a big city to gain the appreciation. Simply amazing on every level.

We came here for lunch on a busy Market Square Saturday. Thank goodness for making reservations…read moreahead of time, because the restaurant was packed with happy diners. Immediately, I loved their quaint interior decorated with octopuses and mermaids. The mermaid at the helm of the bar was just Instagram worthy by herself. We were seated right away and our server was the delightful Brooke. She was so helpful in her recommendations, as it was our first time here. I ended up getting the fish tacos. I loved the tender mahi mahi and the slightly hot sauce in the tacos. My better half was happy with his Pearl Burger. We both agreed that the hand cut fries were amazing and we devoured all of them. For drinks we just did soda, and ended up the meal with a cappuccino. Big thanks to Brooke for always being on top of our drinks as well, and taking such great care of us. My tip: make reservations!!

I want to preface my statements by saying that I love octopus, but I especially love octopus on my plate. Their octopus appetizer is to die for. The redfish was superb and could rival any New Orleans recipe--and I'm a New Orleans native. The swordfish with jerk seasoning will make you feel like you've been transported straight to Jamaica. Do me a favor and run here, not walk. You can thank me later.

Their patio faces Market Square, which made it such a nice spot to enjoy the summer weather and people-watch while having dinner. The inside has a completely different feel--intimate, low lighting, and definitely the kind of atmosphere I'd pick for a date night or a nicer dinner. My server was also really attentive and helpful with answering any questions I had about the menu. I ordered the Fettuccine Bolognese, and it was SO good. The meat was incredibly tender, the sauce was flavorful, and I loved the fluffy swirls of ricotta throughout. The pasta itself was cooked perfectly too. My only note is that the portion was on the smaller side, so next time I'd definitely start with an appetizer. Between the food, attentive service, patio, and location right on Market Square, Oliver Royale is such a great option for a night out in Knoxville. I'd absolutely come back and try more of the menu!
