- OTOpenTable DinerPhiladelphia County •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoThis place may be my wife’s new Favorite. All of our plates were clean at the end of Mother’s Day Celebration. Our server, Chris, was personable, professional, and treated us with kindness. Chicken Picatta was crispy, steaks perfectly cooked. The whole family was pleased. I also received an email confirming an extra chair for our reservation from Drew. Fantastic effort from a great team.More infoSTIR - KnoxvillePrice: Expensive• American• Knoxville•4.7

- TCTerryCEast Tennessee •46 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoSeems our server was overloaded with tables. She did a remarkable job given that situation, but the net effect was the attentive service from all past visits was diminished. Having said that, this is a great restaurant with outstanding food that we will continue to visit in the future.More infoHarvest BeardenPrice: Moderate• undefined• Knoxville•4.6
- OTOpenTable DinerEast Tennessee •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoWe were celebrating an event and had a great dinner. Steven was our waiter and he was fantastic. Our only issue was where we sat. We sat in the two person booth near the walk area and kitchen. It was not very private and it was louder than we are accustom to at Ruth's Chris. Overall the evening was good and we will be back.More infoRuth's Chris Steak House - KnoxvillePrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Knoxville•4.6

The mid-sized city of Knoxville sits amidst the ample hills and curving roads of East Tennessee. It is located just under 200 miles southeast of Nashville. Many restaurants allow casual dress, but you might wish to don semi-formal attire for the choices of fine dining that Knoxville has to offer. Knoxville chefs are proud of their comfort foods, such as grits and macaroni and cheese, which are popular throughout the South.
