It's a place you're likely to encounter your grandparents l, who come here because portions are generous and it taste like it always has. Nothing fancy. Pancakes are the winner - they are fluffy and nearly sweet enough to eat without syrup. Eggs are fine and hashbrowns are plenty though you might be hoping for a bit more crisp. Lunch will need to wait until another visit but I can tell the club sandwich and side of biscuits will be easy choice along with open face turkey or meatloaf. It's grandma's kitchen for certain, and it always has a place in my heart.

I was wrong, but it was worth the wait. We got our names out down and waited about 20 mins for a table to open up. Our server was very nice and super busy. She got our drink orders and then when she came back she got our food orders. I got the breakfast sandwich with ham and the homestyle potatoes and fruit. My husband got the early bird special, which goes until 11. It was a little wait for the food which was completely understandable. When it came out, it came out hot and tasty. The sandwich was served with an omelet style egg and tasted really good. The homefries were delicious, they were cooked with onions that added a little sweetness and had a little crust on them from the flat top. My husband really liked his meal. It was a good sized portion, with 2 biscuits, eggs over easy, 2 sausage patties and gravy. He turned them into little biscuit sandwiches. The biscuit he said was really good and gave me a piece, it was light and fluffy. The food here is down home comfort food that hits the spot. Service is super friendly. It's a place worth checking out if you are passing through or just coming to if you are a local. The prices are great, food delicious, service friendly and fast, you can't go wrong.

Not to mention we are regular guests which severing staff know us. Finally got seated. We had to ask for kids menu which we know were available (We're regulars). The host is not paying attention. I was well aware prices have gone up at least a dollar from the entire menu, and we do enjoy the food, but to set the expectation of "average" menus item being $14, and burgers $14.75-$16.75, you've got to do better. Thankfully the server made the entire experience great. She has served us multiple times and understands our special needs for our son. *We'll definitely be back, but I this industry will not survive "expecting" 20% and doing that to guests.

The food was definitely worth the wait. Everything was delicious, super filling, and came out quickly. I can absolutely see why they're rated the best breakfast in Knoxville. We'll definitely be back -- and we'd love to have Bret as our server again!

We stepped inside, and we were kindly greeted by the hostess. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and had a warm feel. The bar in the corner was both beautiful and extremely well stocked. J greeted us promptly at our table and gave us a thorough walk through of the menu. The offerings were creative and well thought out. We ordered the pimento cheese and grit chips appetizer. A great suggestion from J. It was surprisingly flavorful and super well balanced. I knew at that point, we were in for a treat. Even the iced tea was out of this world. My wife thought it was perhaps the best tea she had ever tasted. My bride ordered the Chicken Spiedie with fries and I did the beef and cheddar with onion rings. The beef and cheddar was absolutely delicious. It was piled high with juicy smoked brisket, smoked cheddar, blackberry bbq sauce and pickles. The order of onion rings and fries were more than enough to share. They were also just fabulous. I have a feeling, everything on the menu is delicious. We finished things off with the Mama's Brownies. Just bonkers. That is all I have to say: Warm cookie dough layered with a vanilla cheesecake center topped with vanilla bean ice cream with a caramel and fudge drizzle. It was an outstanding suggestion. The food was excellent. The service was top notch (thank you J). I plan on spending a significant amount of time here trying everything on the menu. Do yourself a favor and head over for dinner tonight. You can thank me later.

If I'd had more time, I would have loved hanging out here for a while. I only managed to get here about 45 minutes to close, so their selection was understandably if somewhat disappointingly quite picked over. I wound up with a cranberry oat scone and a blueberry and raspberry hand tart. The employee was very pleasant and warm. I appreciated her eagerness to help and positive attitude despite my late arrival. The baked goods sadly didn't really live up to my expectations. The cranberry oat scone was the much better of the two; it was pleasantly sweet and had the proper scone texture and only a little dry. Unfortunately, the hand tart had several edges that I discovered later had been burnt. This impacted the flavor of the whole item and sadly diminished it greatly. The fruit filling was tasty at least, though I didn't get much raspberry from it -- mostly blueberry. I'd be down to try again in the future, just would come earlier in the day when the selection is a bit larger and the products available are a bit more "choice," let's say. I appreciated the kind service and lovely vibes!
