Knoxville Restaurants

[DinkinFlicka]

There is a pork porterhouse dish at Not Watson's that has become one of my favorite go to's. Probably the only thing that keeps me going back there because the prices are a little absurd.

Sorry, but Central Flats and Taps sucks. Went there for a Christmas Party. Horribly disappointed. I really haven’t found many places that have what I’d call excellent food. Few and far between. Especially for Mexican (none) and Thai (only 1).

Wow, have you tried Lonesome dove? 919? Kefi (sp)? As for CFT I’ve never had a bad meal there. It’s not 5 star dining but pub grub. Mexican here is ok, not the best, la parrida in turkey creek is good.

When I used to work out that way I would eat there about once a month to avoid traffic. Good place

Conners is fine but it’s not far from asking if someone has been to Calhouns.

Calhoun's is NOT Connors.

That's absurd. Calhoun's is average-at-best generic BBQ. Conner's is consistently very good, with some great daily steak and seafood special cuts, if you bring your wallet. Their prime rib is always fantastic. Nice atmosphere, good sides, too.

Honestly, it probably gets overlooked by some due to its location in Turkey Creek, but it's top-10 in Knoxville for a nice dinner.

Wtf

Sorry, didn’t mean to offend the Connors fans. I just can’t imagine any marginal goody having not eaten at Connors.

 

[zooguy]

Connors is far better than Calhouns. Calhouns is average IMHO.

I can't think of one thing offered at Calhoun's that I wouldn't rather have from some other place

Oh so only a “goody” eats at Connors?

Supposed to be “foody”. Auto correct

Connors, Connors and Connors.

If you're talking high-end/fine dining, I would say JC Holdway, Lonesome Dove, and either Oliver Royale or Bistro By the Tracks.

Was definitely in the top 3 meals I've had in the area, up there with Foothills Milling, Lonesome Dove, Caramella...wife had the lobster I had a 9 oz filet with a boursin topper. Delish. Definitely will return. Calhouns comparison is stupid.
