re: Knoxville Tenn Recommendations

Where are you staying first of all?

Stock and Barell and Abridged are both good, I think Abridged is better because the atmosphere.

Not Watson’s has never disappointed

Sweet P’s BBQ there is one downtown and it’s way better than Calhoun’s.

Cruze Farms for Ice Cream

Litton’s is a landmark in Knoxville it’s upgraded diner food good burgers etc and huge portions and the cakes are wonderful. It’s off the beaten path.

JC Holdway is pretentious I wasn’t impressed
Lonesome Dove was good and service was outstanding but both are out of your range unless Dove opens up there patio dining menu.

Nama is good sushi

Balter Beerworks, Elkmont Exchange and Central Flats are in a close corridor and all are good too.

A Dopo pizza is outstanding and use their online seating sign up or it’s an hour wait.

Ye Old Steakhouse is overrated IMO

Going further out west to suburbs is Water Into Wine is a neat tapas place with an excellent bar
