    Lunch and Dinner menu
    Edward M.

    The Homestyle food is always fresh and service is good. The casual country ambiance is the standard and local community go to place.

    Burger with fried mushrooms
    Kimberly M.

    Love this little mom and pop spot! Small but mighty! My mom and Aunt love the fresh ground burgers. They were huge! Fried mushrooms were a hit. I had probably the least healthy on the menu, fried mozzarella sticks and tater tots. Just yum. Service is homey, sweet and friendly.

    Nice Food City store, it has had a remodel not long ago…read more Well stocked and clean. As I moved through the store workers said "good morning" and asked if I had found everything. The checker I had was pleasant and efficient (10 am on a Friday)

    I wish I didn't have to write this review but every time I try and support this local grocery store…read moreit ends up poorly. I've gotten to driving a half hour each way to Knoxville because it just seems to get worse over time. Staff aren't attentive, produce selection is horrible (today I wasn't able to get half of the produce I needed because what was on the shelves were disgusting looking - bruises, moldy, old, soft, damaged, etc.) Prices are much higher than Walmart, Kroger in Knoxville, IGA and definitely much higher than Aldi. Deli is really slow most of the time too. Today, like nearly always, the checkout was disappointing. Today was exceptionally bad though; bagger was incredibly inattentive. The cashier wasn't terribly friendly, but the bagger was not paying attention to anything, had really red eyes, and he couldn't focus. He was mindlessly putting things in bags that should never be put together... Raw meat with fresh fruits, bread with heavy items, 6 heavy jars in one bag, frozen with pharmacy, overstuffed bags, ripping bags and more. Not only was the bagger's attention non existent, when we tried to ask him to bag things more thoughtfully he got upset and we ended up bagging much of our own groceries. About 6 staff members just stood by laughing and talking, not helping guests either. Why so many people doing nothing? I get it that it's hard to find quality people, but lack of training and lack of care for customers shouldn't be tolerated. These are basic components of the most simple guest service in retail. I wish it would get better. Produce that isn't bad, slow deli and routinely bad check-out experiences make it almost impossible for me to support this local business. I'll have to keep driving into Knoxville. Only thing good about this location is the pharmacy. They've been helpful and they're kind and friendly most of the time. That's why it's 2 stars instead of 1. Pharmacy is good.

    As a Michelin guide restaurant, Potchke has earned the right to "mess around in the kitchen", as…read morethey say. However, I wonder about the hype. Haven't had pastrami in a while so I had to order the Pastrami Reuben and the presentation was great with how it was stacked! Between the sauce and the sauerkraut the flavors were all good and I enjoyed the taste of the pastrami when I found it, but the bread to meat ratio was so high I mostly tasted the burned crust of the bread and very few bites of pastrami. It was one slice of pastrami, not a thin slice but not what you hope for when you bite into true Jewish deli pastrami, which are normally bursting at the seems with meat. Marble rye is hard not to burn and they did a good job for the most part, but I tasted more crust than I did pastrami, and for $18 I wonder if this sandwich was more a charge for the hype. The blintzes were also smaller than one would expect of a blintz but I absolutely loved the compote on top.

I can imagine you may need to walk a bit depending on how busy the downtown area is, but that would be true for any business in the area. The ordering counter is right in front as you walk in with all seating on the left. Once you place your order they assign you to a table and will bring out your food when ready. We did not realize we entered 15 minutes before they closed. We were originally going to eat there but when we said we would change our order to to-go, they said it was not necessary and we could eat there. They did take down the outside signs soon after we sat down, but we were not the last person entering to place an order. There were also a few others eating inside, so they were more than accommodating to their customers. The Cuban sandwich and NY-style hot dog came out in about five minutes. The Cuban was a bit on the small side but did have a nice amount of ham. The large amount of pickles drowned out the majority of other flavors but the overall the sandwich was good. The NY-style hot dog was a major disappointment. The hot dog itself seemed to have been sitting in the warmer for quite a while as it looked dehydrated and wrinkly. It was chewy with an almost crispy casing. The hot dog did fit the bun but was overwhelmed by the sauerkraut and mustard. Unfortunately, the quality of the food did not live up to the friendliness and accommodation of the staff.
