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,...

This Once-Massive Restaurant Chain Has Just One Tennessee Location Left, And It Still Serves The Classics

A pump of warm cheese sauce sits right on the toppings bar, and you get to decide how much lands on your plate. That’s how burgers work here. The kitchen cooks your patty, then hands the finishing touches over to you. The sesame seed buns are made in-house, which...

Grab a Plate and Dig Into Red-Eye Gravy at These 7 Tennessee Breakfast Spots

Red-eye gravy starts with salty country ham drippings and a splash of coffee. That’s it. No flour, no thickener, just a thin, smoky pour that somehow tastes like a family recipe. I love that a sauce this humble still shows up on breakfast menus across Tennessee. It cuts through...

This Knoxville Spot Brought Back the Joy of Gluten-Free Sweet Treats

Not one crumb in this little bakery’s kitchen contains wheat. That includes the chocolate whoopie pies, the peanut butter cookies, and a jalapeno cheddar and bacon scone that sounds like trouble in the best possible way. The menu reads like any classic bakery case. There are bagels, cinnamon rolls,...

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

What’s New & What’s Next Downtown, Part 1: Restaurants & Retail

Downtown Knoxville has been keeping busy, and I’ve got a massive backlog of openings, announcements and developments to prove it. Time for a catch-up! Last week I again joined Compass Knox editor Scott Barker and co-founder Jesse Fox Mayshark on their Compass Points podcast to nerd out on all things downtown-ish. Naturally, I showed up with 10 FULL PAGES of notes about stuff happening in downtown proper alone. Since both hosts and producer Seth Barber failed to clear their next six hours for my monologue, I crammed what I could into a rapid-fire spoken word performance, confirming once and for all that I should stick to journalism.

Some bakeries are so good that you’d happily drive an extra hour just to get your hands on their famous treats, and Tennessee has quite a few worth the trip. We’re talking fluffy donuts made from decades-old recipes, buttery croissants with dozens of delicate layers, warm cinnamon rolls covered in sweet icing, and freshly baked bread that tastes incredible straight from the oven.

11 Hole-In-The-Wall Restaurants In Johnson City, Tennessee That Locals Would Rather Keep Secret

One of the best Indian restaurants on this list sits inside a building that used to be a Long John Silver’s. I love that kind of plot twist. Another spot bakes pizza in a hand-built brick oven that weighs about 10 tons. A downtown diner stays open until 4 AM on weekends, which feels like a public service.

Right Off The Square In Jonesborough, Tennessee’s Oldest Town Serves Breakfast At The Main Street Cafe

Some towns hand out maps at the welcome center. Jonesborough hands out stories, and one of the best ones is tucked inside an old brick building just off the square. Tennessee’s oldest town has brick sidewalks, historic storefronts, and a pace that invites a slow late morning. Right in the middle of it sits a family cafe that has been feeding locals and travelers since the early 1980s.
