5 Knoxville Restaurants You Need To Try

Picking a restaurant doesn't need to be so hard

5 Knoxville Restaurants You Need To Try
Odyssey

When I started college at UT, my boyfriend and I started a Wednesday tradition of trying restaurants we've never visited before. We've found a lot of really great places to eat and some really "eh" places to eat, but one thing is for sure: Picking a restaurant is difficult. I read one time that relationships are just asking each other, "What do you want to eat?" over and over until one of you dies. Obviously that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but picking a restaurant isn't fun most of the time. So I'm going to try to help you out a little bit. Here are some restaurants in Knoxville that I highly recommend.

1. Blackhorse Pub & Brewery

Blackhorse is one of my favorite restaurants now. The menu has a lot of options, such as pizza, burgers, sandwiches, flatbreads, etc. Every time I go, I order the sweet cheese bread appetizer, and I also really recommend the Tunisian pizza. Basically, Blackhorse has kind of the typical pub and brewery menu, but it also has creative food combinations that are really delicious.

2. Stock & Barrel

Stock & Barrel is a restaurant for burgers and bourbon, according to the website. I can't tell you anything about the alcohol there, but I definitely enjoy the burgers. Stock & Barrel has about 20 different burgers on the menu, so I'm sure you can find something cool to try. Also, you need to try the smores milkshake there, and you should also bring a huge appetite.

3. Downtown Grill & Brewery

This restaurant really impressed me. I wasn't really sure what to expect when we went here the first time, but when I walked in, I really liked the way the restaurant looked inside. I also like the way the menu looked inside. The menu is HUGE. There's tacos, fajitas, pizza, pasta, and salad, and the list goes on and on. I've been several times now, and I haven't gotten tired of it because the menu is so huge.


4. Mimi's Cafe

This restaurant is a bit different from the others that I've listed here. It's a bit more "girly" than the others, according to my boyfriend. Mimi's has really delicious French and American food, and here's where the creative/ interior design side of me comes out: I really enjoy the way the restaurant is decorated. Overall, I think Mimi's is a really cool place to eat for girls' day/ night.

5. Chesapeake's

Chesapeake's is a seafood restaurant in downtown Knoxville. The menu is about what you would expect. There's shrimp, oysters, crab cakes, salads, salmon, crab bisque, etc. While the food is great, there's just something about the environment that I really like. It could be all the interesting fish in fish tanks around the restaurant. Basically, if you want good seafood in a nice environment, I really recommend Chesapeake's.

I hope this list helps you find a great new place for food in Knoxville.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
