What a pleasant surprise! When you are forced to make a food choice bc you are known as the yelper sometimes you just have to make a decision and boy did this one pay off. Do not let the outside of this place turn you away. It looks like a throw away but you would be doing yourself a dis service. Do not sleep on the Neva's potatoes or the Awesome Avocado Jack Burger subbing the veg burger for a meat burger... they are a steak house. Two others changed their orders after I ordered. It was excellent. It would be a vibey spot for a drink or dinner. read more

Yesterday after running some errands, we decided to go to Copper Cellar for lunch. My biggest complaint about Copper Cellar is that there's only one ramp on the other side of the parking lot to get on the sidewalk. After we ordered, they brought us freshly baked sourdough bread. I thought the bread had a strong sourdough taste and was incredibly soft. For my meal, I ordered Maryland Crab Cakes and they were served with one side and I decided to go with blue cheese grits. The crab cakes had a beautiful golden brown crust and were incredibly lumpy. I thought the grits were very creamy and had a mild blue cheese flavor. I highly recommend trying the crab cakes with the grits. My mom chose the Seared Ahi Tuna Salad and she loved it. My dad got the chicken salad sandwich with fries and he thought it was good. If you're ever in the area of Copper Cellar, I highly recommend checking them out. read more

Always great food and consistent good service. The vibe is a mix of semi casual and formal all in one. Tonight we visited for Easter specials. The crab fingers were great, slightly seasoned with drawn butter. The spinach artichoke dip is always great and served with house fried chips. The chop steak is fresh ground daily in house. It normally comes with bell peppers and onions but I'm not a pepper girly. Their steak fries are baked potato wedges that are flash fried crisp which is better than frozen fries. The steak special was the 28oz bone in ribeye that is also cut fresh daily. It originally comes with balsamic onions and a blue cheese butter, but we opted for no onions and swapped for Worcestershire butter and had it with the spicy spinach Mac and cheese. The dessert was the strawberry shortcake with every component being made from scratch in house too! We also got the house made chocolate cake special to go. Wonderful meal we will be back! read more

Our first night in town and it was Valentine's Day. This place looked very romantic so went to see if we could get in. They were very crowded and the wait was going to be 40 min however while ordering a drink one of the first come first serve bar tables opened up so we just sat at a bar table instead. Service was very good even with it being very busy. My husband had the french onion soup as an appetizer and it was very good. I had the shrimp chesapeake for dinner and it was a heavenly experience. My husband had the grilled oscar filet and he said it was very good. Overall a good experience and dinner! read more

Eating at the bar once again; Abby is the best bartender they have here at Copper Cellar. She is always working and never leaves you waiting for service. The bar is comfortable with a television and excellent piped in music. Most nights sports are on over the bar; with occasional bloopers or AFV showing. Food is excellent, bread is always required. And a Jack and coke rounds out the menu. read more

Excellent food and service! Traditional steak and seafood house, with lots of options. The crispy Brussel sprouts were amazing!

We had an AMAZING time this evening for Valentine's Day! I made a mistake and booked online for the wrong day and they made it work anyway. Made our Valentine's Day! The food was spectacular. The bread was unbeatable. Loved the crab fingers and our steaks were perfect! Our server had vast knowledge of the wine selection and suggested a wine that paired perfectly with our meal. We were treated with the utmost respect and felt like extremely welcomed guests. Can't wait to return! read more

Food was absolutely delicious, every dish we ordered hit the mark. It was busy on a Saturday night, and for good reason. Our waitress was fantastic, keeping our drinks full and making sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. The ambiance is warm and lively, and even sitting at the bar makes for a great experience. Definitely a spot worth coming back to! read more

Refuses to substitute even if allergic. Don't eat the salad. None of it is washed. When you ask for unseasoned, you find it seasoned and they wanna argue. My only suggestion, don't eat there and the waiter or waitress knows you're not happy. They will leave your food in front of you until you're ready to walk out the door. They also hand you a device to pay and stand behind you to see what their tip is. I find that disgusting. I used to be a server and I would've never done that. If I was able to give a zero, that's what I would give them. read more

After a long day of stressors my mom and I decided to stop in at Copper Cellar for a bite. Eden was our waitress who was absolutely amazing! She greeted us immediately with the biggest smile and definitely brought some peace after a long day. We started our meal with French onion soups which were delectable! I then had the blue cheese sirloin and was obsessed with it. It was cooked to perfection and satisfied every craving. I miss the Cumberland Ave location but will forever go to the west locatio read more

December 2025 The female manager on Tuesday night at 7:56 PM at the high top area of the bar. Tried to lie to me and tell me that I didn't know what I was eating. Whoever decided to cut the fat off of around the ribeye and roll it up and try to serve that as a steak is absolutely ludicrous and whichever kitchen manager, restaurant manage, and/or anyone in any position of authority that let that go out needs to be held accountable. The service is absolutely incredibly slow. You will wait over 20 minutes for one cocktail from a server that only has 1 or 2 tables. Why this is the case, I am not sure, but this is the fourth visit now, and it has occurred every single time. You can find the same exact menu items on 7 or 8 different restaurants around the city so there's really nothing special about this place that separates it from anywhere else. Everything is subpar, from the originality to the recipes, to the atmosphere. read more

This is an excellent date night restaurant! I loved everything about it! The food, the service, and the atmosphere were great!!

The place reminds me of a steakhouse from the 1970s and never updated the place The prime rib was so so not the best and expensive for the size of the cut read more

The food and service are always Terrific. We really enjoy dining at the Copper Cellar West.

Everything about this place is wonderful - the food, the service, the entire vibe. One of our favorites!

I've been going here with my family for quite some time now and made many friends. Mike Chase (the owner), always acts quite inappropriately towards my sister.. she just tolerates it because we have so much fun when he is not there. Tonight, was very different. He recently found out she is married, and he called her a nasty name last 2 times she was there. So tonight, she told him he needed to apologize.. he quickly told her that if she didn't like it to get out and to take her family with her.. there were many more words exchanged, he kept threatening to call the police.. etc.. we have been long time patrons and this is really unfortunate because we love the staff and the fellow patrons there. Unfortunately, we will never return.. Disgusting... read more

I have been a customer multiple times and have recently been harassed by Mike Chase (the owner). I went in last weekend with my husband and Mike Chase was drunk and called me a horrible disgusting name. The bartenders apologized on his behalf. I met my family there this evening hoping not to encounter him but he (Mike Chase) showed up drunk and yelled at me and my family that if I didn't like the names he called me, we were to get out or he'd call the police. I do not recommend anyone to visit his establishments especially if you are a woman. I have also witnessed him telling a black man that they don't allow his kind in there. I am disgusted!!! read more

Dinner for 10 was not impressive for such a nice restaurant. We were celebrating a birthday. Crab dip and spinach dip were delicious! Steak was bland (no seasoning), Béarnaise sauce was strange, spinach Maria was salty, potatoes wedges were good, chicken was dry, hopped steak was burnt, bathrooms were clean and staff were nice. read more

The food was very good. The steak tasted amazing besides being very tender. The shrimp were stuffed with a lot of crab. Service was on top of things. Ambiance was comfortable. read more

Always great food. Service depends on the server. I love the Old English decor and I hope that never changes.

Amazing service and amazing food. We ordered the crab bisque, calamari, side salad, filet and lobster with potatoes, and they bring you fresh bread with homemade butter. Everything we had was so fresh and rich with flavor! The calamari had a creamy mustard sauce as well as a marinara. It was delicious but it was kinda rich so couldn't eat too much of it. But definitely different than sauce we've had in the past. The lobster was so big, fresh, and succulent! The drawn butter really topped it off! My husband ate the potatoes. If you were a Regas fan, these potatoes come closer than any other restaurant we've been to! The ambiance was very romantic and calming. With low lighting and good music. I highly recommend this place! I can't believe this was our first time going! It most definitely won't be the last!! read more

One of my top three restaurants in the ENTIRE world! The Blue Cheese Sirloin is a dish I've told nearly all my friends and family about, and, no joke, I actually shed a tear of joy once while having it. I don't live in the area, so visiting is a treat look forward to 1-2 times year, and I am grateful for every time I get to dine here. Copper Cellar is a MUST when eyeing a meal in Knoxville! read more

I always really enjoy coming to this location of Copper Cellar! The ambience is always inviting and enjoyable. I the ribeye is packed with flavor and the fillet has a perfect texture when cooked medium-rare to medium!! Anytime someone is asking for a good steak, I will suggest this place. Number one, the quality of the steak is excellent. Number two, although excellent quality, the steak will not break the bank. Always worth a visit for a date night or to grab a cocktail with a good meal and good friends.! read more

Copper Cellar West - Ribeye Cooked Medium and those Sauteed Burgundy Mushrooms - Steakhouses Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

This is a go to for us!! The specials are really good but I usually stick to my usual the ribeye. It is so tender and is well seasoned. I absolutely LOVE the spicy Mac n cheese with spinach. The prime rib is also really good. Hubby loves their soups. They have a good selection of both wines by the glass and bottle. They have an excellent bar crowd, and the bartenders seem to like their regulars. The manager Bryan is always checking on tables and is very personable. read more

Stopped in for lunch while traveling through. We ordered the fried mushrooms appetizer, the avocado Jack burger with a side of fresh green beans and generous piece of filet mignon with mushrooms on the side. The mushrooms appetizer were cooked perfectly. I'm not a burger eater but the burger was delicious as were the green beans! It wasn't overwhelmed with a bunch of toppings. Simple and delicious! My husband enjoyed the filet mignon and said it was cooked perfectly. It was too much for him to finish. The young lady who served us was lovely. I believe her name was Brynlee. My apology if I got it wrong. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pics of our meal. It's called the Cellar for a reason. The darkness was the only thing I wasn't a fan of. We would definitely eat here again while in Knoxville. read more

Excellent place. Always great food. Upscale ambience I would highly recommend this place Even the burger is something a little special and very tasty read more

I just came here for a late lunch and was super impressed. We got there and I was like "what the..." it's the type of place that hasn't been re modeled or touched since it opened & totally retro! We moved here from NYC about a month ago and my mom gave us a gift card for a meal here for my birthday back in July after hearing it was good, and we finally got to using it! Everybody from NYC says to us "you'll never find good food down there" -- they are wrong! And so ignorant. We each had a steak. I had filet mignon with Bernaise sauce and my husband had the Boursin cheese stuffed steak. Both were delicious and cooked absolutely perfectly. We also split an appetizer of mozzarella sticks, which our waitress suggested and they were also so yummy and fresh. Their bread was fresh, soft, and warm. Even the sides (fries; tomatoes with feta) were worth taking in our doggy bag. I am in my 33rd week of pregnancy and was starving but they didn't skimp on portions so I was able to still take food home! Our waitress was prompt, friendly, and wonderful. She looked after us and we were never left with an empty glass or a dirty plate etc. we can't wait to return and bring fam/friends as well as try Calhouns on the River. A+ and our dog also said thanks! he rated the filet as the best steak of his life. read more

The outside of the restaurantis a very generic brick buiding, which I have driven past a dozwn times and never noticed. The interior is dark and cozy. Like most steakhouses, it has a lot of dark wood and bottles of wine visible. The ceiling is very dark with small lights, giving the illusion if dining under the stars. I was greeted immediately at the host by 2 employees and asked which restaurant I was dining in. To the left is the steakhouse and to the right is italian. All of the staff interaction was pleasant and helpful. Until the food arrived, I would've rated the restaurant at a 4. I started with fried mushrooms, they were very greasy and not very flavorful. The mushrooms had the textures of older mushrooms. The dip that comes with it is a mustard-mayonaisse concoction. I am not a big mustard fan, and wasn't a fan of the sauce. For my entree, I decided to try the alehouse steak, which is marinated sirloin in a soy sauce, garlic, red wine, Worcestershire sauce. I also tried the seasonal side of acorn squash with a butter, brown sugar sauce. The steak was cooked how I like it, but was pretty tough and the sauce made it taste very salty and a bit bitter, which is strange to me, because I use a similar marinade on my steaks at home, although I do use low sodium soy sauce. The acorn squash could have also been baked a bit longer to infuse the flavor more and make it more tender. You also get bread, which was another highlight. It was crisp on the outside and tender inside, I just which the butter wouldn't have been cold from the fridge. With just a few tweaks, this could be a great restaurant, but for the amount you pay for a meal, I would've expected the flavors to be more on point. I will probably give it another try in the future, because of the ambiance and staff. read more

This restaurant is easy to overlook, in an unassuming building between West Town Mall and The Gallery Shopping Center. It's unique because it's two restaurants in one - Copper Cellar on the left side of the building, and Cappuccino's on the right side. I met a friend for dinner on the Copper Cellar side. It was pretty crowded for a Wednesday night, but we quickly realized that was because they have half priced bottles of wine on Wednesdays. Once we knew that, of course we had to share a bottle! We started with an appetizer of fried mushrooms & cauliflower. Really good! For dinner, I chose the crab cake sandwich, with home-grown sliced tomatoes as my side. I also had a house salad to start. Copper Cellar's salads and homemade dressings are stellar! My friend ordered the halibut that was on special, along with Neve's potatoes. Everything was so good, and service was great too. We were well taken care of - drink refills, bread & butter, and check taken care of pretty quickly. Great dinner all around! read more

Our visit was nothing short of excellent! Maya, our waitress, was incredibly knowledgeable about every item we asked about, and was very attentive with our service (even though they were quite busy!). The food was delicious, and cooked exactly as requested. The atmosphere at this location was perfect for me as I have sensory processing issues. I really enjoyed the dimmer lighting, not too bright, but not so dim you can't see your menu. We will definitely be returning, and recommending Copper Cellar to anyone looking for a 5 star meal. read more
