    If you find yourself out in the Lenoir City area, go fill your tank up with gas and go inside and check out this delicious deli, it's called Bimbo's. Many people are familiar with it because of the huge fireworks store they also have located in this gas station. It's literally right off of the interstate and it was one of the first establishments built off this exit decades ago. So some people may think bologna or hot dogs are nasty, but I love a good hot dog, and being from the south I love fried bologna. I seriously was blown away and had my very 1st deep fried hot dog loaded with chili, mustard and onions at this place. Hands down the best hot dog I've ever had, and I've had quite a few. They also specialize in Fried Chicken, and it's pretty dang good too. They are open 24 hours a day but fried chicken starts at 9:30am and ends around 8pm. Once again this place is added to my list under Knoxville's Best. So if you are in the area seriously go check them out, and have Andrea make you the most delicious hot dog of your life!! Cheers & Enjoy!

    We've stopped in here a few times on our way home from Dollywood. It's not the greatest but I kinda like it for some reason. If you're traveling south out of Knoxville this place is located at the first exit south of the I-75 and I-40 split. Which, in my opinion makes it great. Stopping here allows me to get through Knoxville traffic and stop at a place it's decent restrooms and it isn't very crowded. The fireworks in the store could go in my opinion but I guess these firework stores are popular. I just think it could be a separate store. Makes the rest of the store feel like a warehouse. Anyway, stop in and give it a try.

    Great little spot for a lox bialy and a latte…read more We got: -Potato blintz (not very flavorful but it went okay) -lox bialy (dill and scallion schmear, goood nova lox, red onion, cucumber, capers, tomato, sweet pepper relish and dill. served on an everything bialy. This was the star) -latte I'm deeply regretting my not grabbing a babka on the way out but it just gives me another excuse to head back!

    As a Michelin guide restaurant, Potchke has earned the right to "mess around in the kitchen", as…read morethey say. However, I wonder about the hype. Haven't had pastrami in a while so I had to order the Pastrami Reuben and the presentation was great with how it was stacked! Between the sauce and the sauerkraut the flavors were all good and I enjoyed the taste of the pastrami when I found it, but the bread to meat ratio was so high I mostly tasted the burned crust of the bread and very few bites of pastrami. It was one slice of pastrami, not a thin slice but not what you hope for when you bite into true Jewish deli pastrami, which are normally bursting at the seems with meat. Marble rye is hard not to burn and they did a good job for the most part, but I tasted more crust than I did pastrami, and for $18 I wonder if this sandwich was more a charge for the hype. The blintzes were also smaller than one would expect of a blintz but I absolutely loved the compote on top.

    One Star - Poor Service and Even Worse Customer Support…read more I ordered a Large New York Steamer through the Firehouse Subs app and received a completely different sandwich a Philly Cheesesteak. Simple mistake, right? Should be a simple fix too. Nope. I contacted their guest services immediately. Here's how it went: Email 1 (from them): "Sorry about that! We issued you 1600 reward points." Sounds nice, until you realize it takes 15,000 points to get a free sandwich. So basically... thanks for 1/10 of a replacement. My response: I told them the points don't come close to covering what I paid for and asked for a proper solution more points or a refund. Email 2 (from them): They passed the buck entirely, saying since it was a pickup order, I need to go to the store myself and sort it out. Apparently, the app is just for show, and once your money is taken, you're on your own. So let me get this straight: I used their app I was given the wrong item They gave me points worth about $1 Then told me to go deal with it in person? Why even have a guest services team if all they do is redirect you to the store? Bottom line: Don't count on Firehouse Subs to fix their mistakes. If something goes wrong, you'll be left hunting for a resolution like I was. I used to be a regular now I'm taking my business elsewhere.

    Went their early (1045am) bread tasted stale, perhaps from the night before??…read more The staff never seems to be very friendly, walk in pick up my orders often times without a word. A simple hello, thanks for business is great for customer service....................... po

    Went with my cousin and her husband over the weekend and the sandwiches we got were pretty tasty! I…read moregot the Italian, and it was massive, definitely big enough to share or take home for dinner. My cousin got the same and her husband got The Rachel I think, he said it was good but he's man of very few words, but he had it eaten before I had even eaten a few bites of mine so I assume that meant he really enjoyed it. The drinks were a really good fountain drinks which has been harder and harder to find. The only thing I wasn't blown away by was the sides, we had pasta salad, and Cole slaw and they were fine, nothing bad just wasn't really worth the extra calories. Overall I definitely recommend Red Brick Deli if you want a good sandwich.

    I picked Red Brick when we traveled to Murphy because a review stated they had gluten-free wraps…read more Nope! That was the previous owner. Since I am gluten intolerant, options were slim. I chose the Chef Salad, no tomatoes. As you can see by the picture, this salad really needs the color of tomatoes, and is very bland without them. Also, in a deli, I was expecting sliced, rather than shaved, meats. I personally find shaved meats very unappetizing. But because I was hungry, and had ordered it, I ate the salad. I had a side of potato salad, too, which I found more to my liking. Hubby had the Cuban. The waitress said the bread is made locally. He found the sandwich to be adequate. We probably will try other restaurants in the area on future visits.
