Locals Swear by the Giant, Juicy Cheeseburgers at This No-Frills Tennessee Burger Joint

The burgers here are half-pound patties, hand-pattied and cooked fresh to order. That means you’ll wait around 20 minutes, and nobody seems to mind one bit. The dining room holds only a handful of tables. A few more sit outside on a back deck. The building is old, simple, and clean, which feels exactly right for a place this focused on food.

This Unassuming Tennessee Cafe Serves Biscuits and Gravy That Locals Can’t Stop Talking About

A honey bun goes on the grill here, and nobody thinks that’s strange. It’s simply part of the morning at a small, cash-only diner where biscuits and gravy get the most attention. I like how plain this place keeps things. The doors open at 6 AM on weekdays,...

Maryville Alcoa Animal Rescue Center Dog of the Week: SpongeBob

Readers may remember SpongeBob, the furriest little sponge that lived under the sea. He lived with his friends, Harry the dogfish and Patty, the dog shark. SpongeBob loved swimming in the ocean. He’d play hide-and-seek in sunken ships with slippery eels. When he caught them, he’d shake and shake, and toss them through the water. “Wheeee!” they’d cry. SpongeBob also loved sampling all the local fare, like crabs, lobsters, and oysters. One time he tried a mouthful of seaweed. “Blech,” he said, spitting it out. “I need something meatier.” He’d scratch a scratchy spot on the coral, and at night he’d use anemones as pillows, laying his little head in their soft tentacles. Life in the ocean was fun for little SpongeBob, but he had so much love to give and no one to give it to. After all, sharks aren’t exactly cuddly. So one day, he breached the surface and blew a stream of water into the air. “Look, a whale…wait a minute…” someone called from the shore. SpongeBob caught a wave and rode it all the way to the Maryville Alcoa Animal Center, where he now waits for his furever home. The perfect home for sweet eight-month-old SpongeBob

A Dopo is serving Knoxville something new. The Slice Bar opens this week

Hungry customers can skip the reservations and grab a slice of award-winning pizza at A Dopo, which on Nov. 5 is expanding with The Slice Bar . The Slice Bar will add 2,200 square feet of space behind A Dopo at 516 Williams St., just north of the Old City. The opening follows A Dopo recently being named to the Michelin Guide to the American South with a Bib Gourmand distinction , which recognizes restaurants serving “great food at a great value." "We've maxed out our wood-burning oven," co-owner Brian Strutz previously told Knox News. "We can't make more pizza right now." A Dopo, named to USA TODAY's 2025 Restaurants of the Year list , has built a loyal base of sourdough pizza lovers. Reservations are notoriously hard to come by, and Strutz knows there are plenty of Knoxville diners A Dopo hasn't been able to serve. The Slice Bar gives A Dopo a creative way to welcome more guests. It'll look a little different from A Dopo's front of house, but the same recipes remain at its core. What's on the menu at The Slice Bar by A Dopo? The Slice Bar will serve Roman-style pizza by the slice
