Good Heavens! Never hath mine eyes beheld, nor mine palate embraced, a feast of such uncommon…read moreexcellence as that set before me within the noble halls of the Texas Roadhouse. The Rib-Eye, fair marbled as though fashioned by Providence Himself, arrived with a crust of remarkable savour, whilst its centre remained so tender that scarce was there need of knife or strength to part it. Each bite yielded forth rich juices most abundant, filling the mouth with such delight that one might forget the burdens of both Crown and country. Yet, I should commit a grievous injustice were I to neglect mention of those heavenly rolls. Fresh from the oven, warm as a summer's morn, soft as the finest pillow, they did dissolve upon the tongue with singular grace. When adorned with that most divine cinnamon butter, whipped to a cloud-like perfection--they became nothing short of celestial. Verily, I proclaim that an angel's table could scarce boast a finer accompaniment. Should any traveller, nobleman, or weary soul pass by this establishment and fail to partake of these victuals, he hath willingly forsaken one of life's greatest earthly pleasures. I depart with both belly and spirit thoroughly content, and would gladly journey a hundred miles to dine there once more. Thus do I bestow upon this establishment my highest commendation: Five Crowns of Five, with the earnest prayer that its kitchens may forever prosper.

Con: nothing appears to be hand made. I had Philly s cheesesteak which appeared to be made with the frozen steakums and a roll straight out a plastic bag. Fries were also fresh from the freezer.

With a sign out front claiming to offer " the best burger in town," we finally satisfied our curiosity when we sat down to eat the made-to-order $6 burger ($6.99 with cheese). While I can't say it's the "best burger in town" (since I have a few more places to try on my burger quest), it was mighty good and definitely worth a repeat! Jacob's new owner, Kelly, personally welcomes customers and comes by with refill offers and to ensure diners enjoy their meals. While a burger repeat is on my list, I'm stoked to also try their Reuben. Kelly claims my spouse and I won't be disappointed.

My wife and I spent an evening at the Marlowe and they were very accommodating as our reservation had fallen out of the system (probably due to my own user error) but as I mentioned they found a table for us and made sure we didn't miss our chance to partake in their phenomenal menu. I had the fall fashion which is their take on an old fashioned and it was terrific and the Rye whiskey played nicely with the amaretto. My wife had some sort of Sicilian wine cocktail that was advertised as brighter and better mimosa and they nailed the description. It was an elevated mimosa that was light, refreshing and bubbly. We started with the wedge salad and potato croquettes. The salad was as phenomenal, the bacon adding the right smoky and savory flavor and the dressings paired well with the fresh crisp lettuce. I was slightly disappointed we didn't have heirloom tomatoes as they were advertised and instead used grape / cherry tomatoes (the menu listing mentioned heirloom and I'm a tomato snob). The Gorgonzola wasn't overpowering and paired really well with the balsamic. The potato croquettes needed a little more seasoning or salt and were somewhat bland but the presentation was terrific and they were cooked perfectly. It might have been the bacon aioli but it just needed a little more zip. For mains my wife went with the Bouillabaisse and asked if she could add a bit of the house made fettuccine to which the chef was very accommodating in making the addition. With wonderful seasoning and an abundant amount of shrimp, scallop, salmon and mussels she couldn't finish her serving. This dish was fragrant and cooked to perfection. I had the filet and it was also amazing. Cooked a perfect medium rare and held amazing flavor. It was a solid and good sized filet that was definitely the star the show. The asparagus was grilled perfectly and seasoned wonderfully. The confit beet was amazing and held terrific flavoring and lended to the beautiful presentation and plating. We really wanted to try the crème brûlée as it looked amazing but we didn't save any room. The service was beyond terrific and Anthony took great care of us from start to finish. We watched the Chef oversee the kitchen and he didn't let a single plate pass through that kitchen without his terrific attention to detail. Overall this restaurant stood out heads and shoulders above other restaurants of similar type and it immediately jumps to the top of the list for fine dining in the Knoxville area. I can't wait to recommend this place to friends and family and this is the first time I wish I could give six stars!

Since I had the burger the day before I tried another option. So I ordered the Southern Clucker, a fried chicken sandwich with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, and jalapeños. I wasn't as impressed with the chicken as I was with the other location's burger. The chicken was fairly tough and chewy and the piece was smaller than the bun it was sitting in, so it was literally tough to eat. The bun and vegetables were fresh though. I loved the onion rings. Best seasoning I've had on fries or onion rings in a long time, and the waitress brought some ranch which helped even more! Because the locations seem consistent, I'll also give the Powell location 4 stars. Great sides, good buns, but not without their faults. Looking forward to trying the fried fish in future.

Yup, right there anchoring down the corner of Mulberry and Grove Sts was ANGIE'S KITCHEN. Wow...they offer several menu items but I bet you 9 out of 10 people choose the scrumptious OLD TYME BUFFET. It had everything you possibly could desire. The salad bar featured beets and locally grown tomatoes that had the taste from years ago. Fried Chicken, Pasta, Potato Salad, Cole Slaw, Fish, Soups (2), .....ohhh my I cannot remember all the delicious items. The only thing exceeding the scrumptious buffet was the attentiveness and spirited attitude of the server.

The burgers are consistently delicious, and the menu is packed with satisfying Southern comfort-food favorites. A lot of the menu features fried items that appear to be frozen then fried fresh just before they are served. That is not a criticism at all; the food comes out hot, crispy, and full of flavor. The chicken-fried steak is a great example. It is not a handmade steak prepared from scratch in the kitchen, but rather a prepared patty--and it is still absolutely delicious, especially when you order it as a sandwich. Be sure to try the fried squash or fried okra. Both are crispy, flavorful, and among the better versions I have had around town. They also serve some of the best sweet tea I have tasted anywhere. Breakfast is another reason to visit--their morning food is outstanding. Add in the friendly, welcoming atmosphere and a serving staff that is always top-notch, and you have a place that is easy to recommend. This is one of my favorite local spots and definitely somewhere you should go if you are looking for a casual, tasty meal.
