    Enchiladas Salsa Verde with rice and beans

    Taco Boy has great food and service. With a wide variety of food and drinks, Taco Boy has the best Mexican food in the Farragut area.

    Cheese steak burritos
    Jeremy R.

    One of my coworkers ask if I wanted a taco and I ask what else they have,well they got it all. We ordered to go and it was great. The portion size is large and full of flavor. I had the cheese steak burrito and my coworker had the hard shell tacos. The taco's were packed with meat and all the normal toppings. My burritos were smothered in melted cheese and were great. My coworker said the staff was great and that the building is clean and in good condition.

    Chicken Fajita salad
    Rosana C.

    Always find restaurants on Yelp when traveling. Read the reviews and decided to give Taco Boy a try for Taco Tuesday. The food did not disappoint, the salsa was tasty, chips were crispy and flavorful. The service was great, staff attentive, bringing out more chips. salsa and refilling drinks. The atmosphere is very festive, but be ready for it to be noisy as it was when we were there. Taco Boy is bookmarked for when we travel this way again. Chicken Fajita salad yum!

    Headed to a Smokies game, we chose to stop into SmashCity for a pregame burger…read more The service and burger came up quickly. I opted for the truffle smash and large fry. My buddy opted for the Spicy Smash. The burgers were mmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmm great, Juicy and the bun held up. Fries were fresh and would like to see maybe a topping or poutine option for them. Cool spot to get some AC and great burger before a Smokies game or a night in the old City.

    We already had 250 miles under our belt for the day. 4 more hours to home. I was sick of fast food…read moreand we were making good time so we decided to venture off the road, but just a little. SmashCity wasn't far off of the interstate, it had good ratings and although we'd been eating burgers and fries quite a bit on this roadtrip, a good burger and fries really sounded good. All of the reviews were right on - this was absolutely NOT fast food - it was fast, really fast, but the speed was just bonus. As we usually do, we split. We chose the Carolina BBQ smash. The burgers were juicy - if you're not careful, I guarantee you'll be wearing it. Two critiques, it definitely needed more sauce - I just added some of the SmashCity sauce from our fries and it worked but I really would have liked to have had more BBQ sauce. Second, the fried onions were quite burned. I pulled off most of them. The hand cut fries were piping hot, just the right amount of greasy and seasoned perfectly. Splitting the burger was a good call - I'd never have eaten the whole thing myself. The burger and fries were just over $20. When you consider a Big Mac meal at that clown place is $14, SmashCity is almost a bargain. Paul, the owner was like the energizer bunny - he was everywhere at once. Personality oozed from his pores. Make sure you tell him Sue said hi! (He won't remember me but just say hi anyway!) Now I wouldn't say SmashCity has the best burgers - that award goes to our friend Jerry. He makes a pretty mean smash burger on the blackstone. If you have an extra half hour, skip the fast food burger joints, get off that highway, and go let Paul fill your belly for the rest of your trip! You'll appreciate it!

    I was recommended to check this place out for their burgers, and it definitely didn't disappoint!…read more This place is popular, so be prepared for a wait. They get busy fast, and they won't seat your party until everyone has arrived, so make sure your whole group is there. We had a party of five and started with an order of the fried pickles to share. They were absolutely delicious--crispy, flavorful, and gone within minutes. For drinks, I ordered the Darryl Strawberry since it featured bourbon, and I figured I had to enjoy a bourbon cocktail while in Tennessee. It was surprisingly refreshing, balanced, and so good that I ordered a second one. For my meal, I went with the Classic Bacon Burger, and it was exactly what I was hoping for. It was big, juicy, and loaded with the perfect amount of cheese, tomato, bacon, and pickles. Every bite was delicious. Considering how packed the restaurant was, the service was solid. Our waitress had a great sense of humor and joked around with our table, which made the experience even more fun. Since they were so busy, we didn't see her constantly, but she was friendly and took good care of us whenever she stopped by. If you're looking for a great burger and a fun atmosphere, this spot is definitely worth checking out!

I also ran into a local that recommended I try their duck fat fries. The duck fat fries were delicious and topped with Parmesan and scallions with a creamy aioli for dipping. My burger was monstrous and somehow I ate the WHOLE thing because it was so juicy and yummy I couldn't stop myself. One thing I will say is I wish their seating was a bit more comfortable. They were busy when o came and I had to sit on a high top outside which was a squished table of six of us and very uncomfortable. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting!

Our pup travels everywhere with us, so finding these spots is important to us. It was very spacious too - so we weren't on top of other guests. They have an extensive menu and the same with the beer list. There is something for everyone, from hoppy IPAs to fruity sours. Not sure which beer you may like - get a sample. Or try a flight! For lunch, we got the deviled eggs to start - something that is a go-to for us. They were solid and enjoyable. For the main, we opted for the Abridged burger and the Chicken club. Both were solid as well. Fries were crispy, but a bit over-salted, and I enjoy some salt. So made a note for next time to "go light". Service was good too. Overall - really only a tiny detail to 'complain' about, but easily taken care of next time. We will be back for sure - I want to try their pizza!

Burgers have always been top notch and awaiting their takeover of the Xul kitchens here. Bar staff on top of service, even refilling water when it got low. Service is a plus. Ambiance is more restaurant feel than brewery, although there is a wide selection of brews available. She order a lemondrop. Nice job, but you get a lemondrop pretty much the same no matter where you go. Beer is very good here. I did not have one I did not enjoy. I need to return some time and try some of their food menu items.

I tried the Happy Holler hoping it would rival Litton's Thunder Road - not even close. The bun wasn't fresh and my burger fell apart after 2 bites. I'm a huge onion ring fan and ended up leaving half on my plate. Litton's burgers and rings are definitely superior. Worst of all may have been the $8 milkshake. I asked for a simple chocolate malt made with vanilla ice cream. Instead, what I got was a No Malt super thin milkshake that tasted like chocolate syrup. My bill for burger, rings and shake - $32. Just think, I could have gone to Five Guys for that price! I'm being generous giving this place 2 Stars. The best I can describe my visit to Inskip Grill is subpar at best. I may give it another try down the road sometime as this place has good reviews and is a staple in the community.
