Clahouns on the River is a nice spot.

I haven't been to Knoxville. I'm out west like you fine folk. California. Though I hear Utah is a sneaky nice place to live.

Tennessee fans are awesome.
The Smokey Mountains aren't as tall as the mountains out west but they're beautiful. Absolutely mystical and enchanted. Visit the Great Smokey Mountains national park and stop at a breakfast spot in Gatlinburg, TN.

You won't regret it

Go to Pizza Palace and experience a Knoxville treasure. Trust me please. If you only eat near the down town area you're not truly experiencing Knoxville

 

[Hacksaw]

Get up into the hills and try to keep up with the local drivers on those 2-lane country roads. You'll never be on a thrill ride with more beautiful scenery.

 

[SDV]

Go to Gus’s Good Times Deli the morning of game day. Crowds get big the later you go

 

[cardvolfan]

I will be in Utah Saturday. Will catch the game at the hotel with all my orange gear on. Y‘all will love the trip and it will be a blast!

Welcome to Tennessee! Hope you enjoy your visit. I've been to Utah and hope to visit again someday. Love the western states.

 

[Hurley Mooncalf]

Welcome to Knoxville! There are a lot of great spots on/around Market Square. Stock and Barrel, Cafe 4 or Tomato Head. Close to there in the old city is Boyd's Jig & Reel (owned by UT President Randy Boyd I believe), Southern Grit or Lonesome Dove.
Hope you all enjoy your visit and the game, Go Vols!

GUS' is a requirement for newcomers. Relatively close walk to stadium. East TN steamed hoagies...very local way of hoagies around K'town and it's outskirts.

Go hungry. Get the Reuben, a Philly, and a burger. And the fries are legit. It's a dive. And every UT legend ever has a pic and an autograph on the wall somewhere. After games you just might find the HC there eating. Even that ole Bammer dud of a coach Pruitt knew to eat at Gus' after games.

Walk down 17th Street after game to 17th Street Market. Maybe half way down the road/hill. They will have wings and ribs and stuff on parking lot smoker/grills. Fantastic. After they smoke the wings they deep fry them inside and dust them with yellow curry powder. Those wings will blow your mind.

Now when you say "cheer on your Vols", you mean scream like a madman without cessation for 3 and a half hours straight, right?

Agree with the Gus's and Market Square recommendations.

Go Vols!

 

[FortWorthVol]

Welcome to Knoxville! Been to Utah many times on business and pleasure. Zion and Bryce are truly spectacular! More votes for Calhoun’s on the River, Gus’s, and Market Square. Plan to leave your voice at Neyland and not get it back until Wednesday!

 

[Frivolous]

i lived in Knoxville for 26 years before I moved last year for work. When I come back, the restaurants I have to go to are Yassin’s Falafel House and Tuk Tuk Thai. If I visit my mother in law in Oak Ridge, a trip to Big Ed’s Pizza is a must. If staying in west Knoxville, look into Seasons and Connor’s.

 

[volsofsteele]

You will love it. The folks are hospitable regardless of affiliation and best / if it your thing, you can order more than 2 beers per hour. I spent many nights in UTah staring at my watch wondering when I could order a third. Utah and east TN are gods country... especially southern UTah... incredible. Enjoy!

 

[Col_Cathcart]

Nixon’s is the place I have to stop whenever I drive through Knoxville.

I’d recommend checking out the following spots and choose a few:

Market Square
Stock & Barrel - great burgers and a huge bourbon selection
Soccer Taco - Mexican sports bar
Pete’s (breakfast joint)

Strip
Gus’s - don’t run afoul of Gus or he’ll get after you with his bat

Old City
Barleys - pizza and sports and pool/darts

True story: he threw me out when as a student I drunkenly (and repeatedly) was telling him he had paid too much for the extraneous “S” in sign out front.

Go to Gus’s Good Times Deli the morning of game day. Crowds get big the later you go

I’d recommend you go AFTER the game, ideally with a solid buzz on.

Don’t overdo it, pace yourself and maintain.

The Rueben Sandwich is amazing paired with an Arizona Arnold Palmer.

Got me craving a steak in a sack right about now.

Is that place still open ?? My grandparents weren't too far from there out on John Sevier. I think we went there once as a youngster when we were up. Best of my memory that place was total legit.

 

[Jkm0920]

Those type of restaurants have a special place in my heart for some reason. Not sure I can pinpoint why.

Yup, it’s still open and looks like it hasn’t been redecorated in decades.

Man you nailed it weather wise!
