BEST place to eat in Knoxville for those coming up!!!!
- Thread starter TN-Gamecock
- Start date
Calhouns on the River is always a good place for BBQ and a good stop for us when we visit.
We generally stay in Pigeon Forge and ride over to Ye Olde Steakhouse on Friday nights. It's an outing we always eagerly anticipate.
We use to eat at Calhoun's on the river when the Knoxville Gamecock Club sponsored the BBQ dinner. Plus, the Gamecock band, cheerleaders and Cocky were always there. The last time I went to Knoxville was 2013 and the game was a noon kickoff. But there was no Knoxville sponsored BBQ, band, cheerleaders and no Cocky. That was the game the UT receiver caught the ball in the bend of his arm that set-up the winning FG. Man, that sucked. I haven't been back to rockyflop since.

Maybe for Gamecocks headed towards Nashville or Chattanooga....Turkey Creek for those that don't know Knoxville, it's way out in West Knoxville....the drive and traffic is awful...my niece lives in Oak Ridge...
I also like the Apple House in Pigeon Forge for those staying the Gatlinburg area....
I guess for those of us that live in Tennessee, Calhoun's is just another chain restaurant...it's ok...I think most people liked it for obvious reasons. It's on the Tennessee River, walking distance to the stadium and they did host us there for a while....
The dayz of family operated are long gone…..let a corporation feed the masses.
Regas closing after nine decades
Regas Restaurant, a long-standing culinary institution that survived the Great Depression and served meals for nine decades in downtown Knoxville, will close at the end of the year.

What happened to the Knoxville Gamecock Club sponsoring the BBQ before the UT game?
Just wait til you see the traffic in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge in Oct
That's a good question...not sure...The Knoxville Gamecock Club just kind of moved off the radar..
I used to get letters from them as they included Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol in their mailings..
You can eat at the BIG Salvation Army & Homeless shelter around the corner on Broadway!!! The Regas has been closed for MANY years now...The dayz of family operated are long gone…..let a corporation feed the masses.

Go to Ye Ole Steakhouse if you want a family operated restaurant.
By the way, Wade's in Spartanburg which is family owned, is closing on saturdays now due to now having enough help...YIKES!!!
I think most small towns here in Tennessee all have Diners...which is where you'll get your meat + 3...
If you're coming over from Asheville on I26, stop in at Clarence's Drive In in Erwin, and you can get your country fixin's plus breakfast all day...coffee is pretty good too...Course a lot of people who cross the border into Tennessee want to come to Pal's to eat...

Where's the best place to vomit in Knoxville? Not looking for crowds but convenient parking. Corporate or family owned will do. Or should it be inside the stadium. What are those lines like?
There are no Pals Sudden Service in Knoxville that I know of seems to stop around Morristown and maybe Greeneville. I go into Sevierville but do not remember if one is there or not. I do not know why they do not get into Knoxville.
Jefferson City, there is one right off I-40...here is the link to Pals which has locations...
104 Mossy Creek Drive
Jefferson City, TN 37760
(865) 475-4936
So many people come over from Mars Hill, Burnsville, Spruce Pine just to eat at Pal's so my guess i WNC will be next...It's been mainly a Northeast TN/SW Virginia company originating in Kingsport...
Morristown, Jefferson City, imo will be as far to Knoxville as they get...

If you want good food, stay away from Ye Olde Steakhouse. May have the 6th or 7th best steak in town. If going to the game, you will have to park downtown so get there early and try Cafe 4, Tupelo Honey. Balter Beerworks (on Jackson Ave so can be a hike) or Southern Grits. Since a lot of the hotels are west, if you are spending the night try Aubreys at Papermill, Connors, Parkside Grill (owned by grandson of Regas owner) Double Dogs, Soccer Taco or one of the several Calhoun's out west. On Neyland Dr is Calhouns but the best steak in town belongs to Ruth Chris just past Calhouns. If you want a brewery to go with good food, then Downtown Brewer and Grill is a good place.
Bump, I'm making the trip for the first time and interested in parking too. I don't mind paying out the wazoo to be close.
