NEW!  Introducing the Knoxville Restaurants Blog on KnoxvilleBusiness.com.

The best Knoxville restaurants come in all shapes and sizes, and in a nice variety of genres. My personal favorites are the Mom and Pop restaurants, or at least the small local chains, so those are the ones that are focused on here.

Not to worry! There are plenty of great locally-owned Knoxville restaurants, so you won't leave these pages lacking for choices.

Restaurants in Knoxville have a great tradition of bringing together Knoxvillians with folks living in the surrounding region. Downtown, West Knoxville, East Knoxville, South Knoxville, North Knoxville; soul food, Egyptian, Italian, bar-b-que, Indian, home cooking, four-star cuisine...it's all here -- and more!
