The strawberry pecan salad was excellent. The problem we had was being charged for a 2nd cup of coffee. This has never been done in my experience at a restaurant. We should have been told that a refill is the same $4 charge as the first cup. read more

Visiting Farmacy for date night was a special treat. Parking is limited out front, but there are plenty of spots behind the building or in adjacent lots. We had a reservation and were seated quickly at a cute table for two. Unbeknownst to us, it was taco Tuesday, suggesting $3 tacos of various proteins. We ordered three as an appetizer and were amazed by how tasty they were. Don't skip the tofu- that was our surprise favorite. My wife ordered the pork belly and I, the enlightened bowl. The pork belly was incredible- the best we've ever had. Tender, soft, rich, and a generous portion. Plenty of leftovers there. My enlightened bowl felt extremely healthy and fresh. I felt like a horse in a pasture. I stole many bites of pork. I might suggest adding a protein besides the salmon crumbles (it comes with those, but think tuna packet texture). Overall, we had a fantastic experience at Farmacy and look forward to our next visit. read more

High Hopes, Flat Landing I'd had this place bookmarked for ages, and when out-of-town friends came for brunch, I thought, "finally, my chance!" Lesson learned: scope it out solo before bringing guests. We all left underwhelmed, and honestly, I was disappointed. Let's start with the good: it's an adorable spot, the service was stellar, and the cocktails were genuinely great. But the food? A real miss for me. I'd consider giving it another shot -- just not with the same order, or at least with some specific requests in hand. We kicked things off with beignets, which, in hindsight, was a bold move in Tennessee. As NOLA regulars, we know our beignets, and these weren't even in the same ballpark as Café du Monde. Instead of that light, pillowy pull-apart texture, they came out dense and crispy -- more funnel cake than beignet. The breakfast mains were a visual triumph and a textural letdown. I tried all three dishes, and my fellow diners agreed across the board. The "Sunny" had great flavor on top, but the bread underneath turned to mush almost instantly -- we ended up scraping the toppings off and eating it like a salad. If you order this, ask for the bread toasted. The biscuits and gravy had real potential, but the candied bacon overwhelmed everything with sweetness -- it completely took over the dish and made it hard to finish. Dave's eggs were fine on their own, but the hash alongside them wasn't much to look at, and the flavor didn't redeem the presentation. read more

This was too bougie for my adult kids. I did like the atmosphere in the cute little restaurant. The brisket was amazing and highly recommend., the potatoes were sweet potatoes and not a favorite of the kids, although I did enjoy them. Bacon was super crunchy, I really liked it but the kids did not like the crunchy bacon.. read more

Visiting Knoxville TN and some friends who live local asked to meet at Farmacy for dinner. What a treat. Taco Tuesday for the win. I ordered two salmon tacos and one grilled chicken taco which I believe was tinga chicken. Fantastic! The salmon and chicken were perfect. Moist and delicious. The sauce was great and each taco had one jalapeno. I ordered a side of broccoli florets which were a little warm on the spice side but not overpowering. The food and service were fantastic. It was a quaint little place in a strip mall of sorts but the feel was warm and pleasant. I'd certainly like to try something else but Knoxville seems to have a lot to offer so I'm not sure I'll have time. read more

Well, this was a fun surprise! We were looking for a cool brunch place that we'd never tried before, and although it was outside of town, it was totally worth the Uber. It's ADORABLE. Love the decor and the pretty and interesting atmosphere. Lots of cute little things in this spot. Everything was delicious and the portions were impressive. I was really surprised by this one and highly recommend anyone coming here for a good bite. Server was super sweet and took great care of us; she helped me decide on my order because I was truly so stuck. read more

We genuinely wanted to love this place. It came so highly recommended, and we walked in excited. But my husband summed it up perfectly: underwhelming. Not terrible by any means, just... far from what we hoped for. I ordered the biscuits and gravy. The gravy arrived lukewarm, and the biscuits tasted strongly of raw flour. One of them was so tough I actually had to work at it with my knife--never a great sign. The chicken itself was tender enough to cut with a fork, but the biscuit beneath it was bland and dense. The "candy bacon" turned out to be more like crystallized sugar than bacon--just sweet crumbs that made the whole dish even sweeter. I mentioned to the server after the first bite that it was overly sweet, and she simply acknowledged it and moved on. The dish really needed seasoning and balance. My husband ordered the Brekkie with brisket, and he said it tasted more like pot roast from a crock pot than smoked brisket. No smoke, no seasoning, just a very earthy, monotone flavor profile. The whole dish was one, boring palate. The restaurant itself is charming, and our server was friendly, but her attention was almost entirely on the large table beside us. We didn't get drink refills, and she didn't check back in after the initial drop-off. The food also took about 30 minutes to arrive, so even though we were disappointed, we didn't say anything--we didn't want to wait another half hour. We might give it another try someday, but breakfast won't be what we order if we do. With all the glowing recommendations we heard, it was disappointing to walk away feeling like the experience was barely average. read more

We celebrated a birthday today and there was only a 20-minute wait. Considering that we arrived at 12:30, 20 minutes was not bad. We were originally seated in an area that was quite loud, but when I asked for a quieter table, we were promptly seated in a nice enclosed banquette with table that was perfect for our hearing impaired guest. This is the first time we've dined at the new location. It's more roomy, spacious and has a homey feel. The new menu has e-x-p-a-n-d-e-d and there were so many entrees and appetizers it was hard to pick. I chose the black and blue fries which are hand-cut with Nashville hot sauce, buttermilk dressing, blue cheese, candied bacon and chives as an appetizer. They did not disappoint. For my entree I chose the Sunny which was described as multigrain bread toasted (4 slices), smashed avocados, tomato, sprouts, radish feta, cured red onion, lemon, olive oil, zaatar, two local eggs sunny-side up and Malden sea salt. Overall it was a good choice, but by the time my order arrived, the eggs were already cold, the slices of avocado were thinly disbursed on the toast and the onions were surprisingly salty. I had hoped that they would have been pickled. For the birthday girl, she chose the Lemon-Berry Cake. This was an outstanding gluten-free lemon cake filled with lemon cheesecake cream, brown sugar-honey soaked blueberries and raspberries, topped with fresh whipped cream. Fabulous!! Annabell, our server, was spot-on in her impeccable service. read more

I brought my fitness obsessed son here for a late lunch. Excellent, top notch fresh food. It is table service, which was different than what we were told. Servers were knowledgeable on the food and each dish was prepared. Very casual atmosphere. Prices were consistent with a well prepared, freshly prepared food experience. Sandwiches, salads, and heaping plates of fried chicken were all scrumptious. It's worth a stop when passing by UT. read more

Solid hot chicken and great service to top off the dining experience - highly recommend!

Have been wanting to try this place and finally got a table on daughter's last day in Knoxville after graduation. We were seated outside on a beautiful day.

Food was great. Everyone at my table loved theirs. Service was more like a 2/5, server was awfully rude. Example: my mom and I got waters, she specifically asked would you guys like lemons, we said no. Once she brings the waters out there's lemons in them. For me whatever not I big deal I just took it out, but my mom is allergic to citrus. Mom is shy as well, she tried asking the server for a new water w lemon and she raised her voice saying what?! She had a fake smile on her face and once mom went outside of script she dropped it and resumed her normal RBF. I took over and said she NEEDS a new water with no lemon because she is allergic to citrus. She rolled her eyes and got smart and asked do you need a new water (to me) I said no but she does if you would be so kind. Anyways food was great, probably would get takeout because I can't handle snobby college girls as my servers. Oh tables and chairs were cute and comfy though.. lol read more

Farmacy - Farmacy Burger + Hand Cut Fries - Southern Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

I was in Knoxville for work and wanted to grab a bite before heading home. I was in the mood for brunch, and this spot came up on Yelp. I sent a few options to my wife, and she chose this place. When we arrived, we were told there would be about a 30-minute wait, but it ended up being closer to 15 minutes, which was a nice surprise. The ambiance and décor were beautiful--very cute, cozy, hometown vibes. While waiting for our server, we looked over the menu. There were tons of unique items--definitely different from what you normally see. Even though I thought I wanted brunch, I ended up going with the beef dip, while my wife ordered the burger of the month. She also chose the goat cheese hot honey as an appetizer. When the appetizer arrived, I wasn't sure I'd like it, but it turned out to be surprisingly delicious, especially paired with the crostini. My beef dip came with seasoned brisket that was incredibly tender. Some of the brisket juices soaked into the fries, giving them an extra layer of flavor. The au jus was perfectly balanced and didn't overpower the brisket. My wife really enjoyed her burger. Her only minor complaint was that the fries were mostly short pieces instead of longer cuts, but they were still crispy, hand-cut fries. Of course i had to have a big back and try the cookie skillet. The cookie wasn't too thick, soft center and crispy edges. Overall, this is a solid spot, and if I'm back in Knoxville, I'd definitely return. read more

I expected the decor to be farm themed, but oddly it's almost kind of southwest or beachy, but in any case it's casual and comfortable, which is what you want for a breakfast/brunch spot. We had a reservation, which is highly recommended on weekends as it was packed. The service here was very good but the food was even better. Even the coffee was a cut above. We had two brunch items. The first was their Canyon Ranch Brekkie, which is basically a "build you own burrito" with braised brisket (au jus), two eggs (our server smartly recommended scrambled for this dish) and "fixins" that included very tasty black beans, cured red onions, sweet potato hash, feta cheese and guacamole, served with corn tortillas. This was large and amazing! The brisket with its au jus was just so good. Our other choice was their Shawarmacy Chicken Sandwich. It was equally amazing. The zatar-based shawarma seasoning was fantastic and the chicken was so tender. Some of the feta and tzatziki sauce spilled out onto the fries which made already great fries (with some potato skins left on) even better. We'll come back here on our next trip to Knoxville to try some of their many other interesting menu options. read more

I really wanted to love this place. My husband and I were so excited to try it--the atmosphere looked great and we were expecting a fun brunch experience--but it ended up being one of the most disappointing dining experiences we've had. Right when we walked in, we were asked if we had a reservation. It was our first time, so we didn't realize one was needed. When I said no and asked if we should have had one, the host responded, "Oh, that would have helped." That alone felt a little off-putting. We even offered to come back another time, but she said they had a table available--just that it was reserved for 1:00 PM (it was 11:55). We asked if that meant we'd need to leave by then, and while they tried to reassure us, it definitely set the tone for a rushed experience. We had barely sat down when the waitress immediately asked if we were ready to order. Caught off guard, we asked for water and coffee first. As soon as those arrived, we quickly ordered beignets, chicken and waffles, and biscuits and gravy--trying to be mindful of their time constraint. Unfortunately, our food took over 35 minutes to come out... which didn't align at all with the expectation that we'd be out before 1:00. When it finally arrived, the food was underwhelming at best. The chicken was okay, but the waffles and biscuits and gravy were cold. And the service? Just as cold. Overall, the experience felt rushed, unwelcoming, and disappointing from start to finish. Needless to say, we won't be returning. I truly hope they reconsider how they treat guests--especially first-time visitors who come in excited to try their restaurant. read more

Visited here for brunch while in Knoxville. It's in a small steip plaza with a couple of cute decor and boutique shops, so parking is limited, its a small plaza. Pros: great ser ice, wait staff friendly, knowledgeable, checked on us often. Food was descent, no oops and ahhhs just decent and edible. I have the Dave' special ir platter included eggs, biscuit, arugula salad w/ pickled onions, which was a whole NO, it came with sweet potato hash which I wanted to substitute for regular potatoes but the only other potato was French fries so I opted for a side of gravy which was sooooo good with that biscuit which was really homemade. Our table also had chicken and waffles which was decent as well. Cons: seemed quickly but at least 15 minutes before we realized no one had cone to take our orders. One person asked if they had hone friemeaning potatoes and explained thoroughly and she said jes but was brought French fries which she couldn't eat . We laughed at the size of her order of eggs because it was so small she could have ordered a 1/2 dozen. We ate everything so that should speak for itself. Oh and we had mimosas which were really good. ** Bathroom was excellent I'd go back anytime so ok experience here, looking for the nxt time to be even bettwr. read more

I was concerned when we first walked in because the hostess stand was empty and when the hostess did show up, she seemed annoyed, didn't smile, and seemed genuinely irritated that people were coming to this restaurant. I didn't catch her name (she didn't introduce herself) but she had 222 tattooed on her neck. But I am so glad I didn't leave because our waitress was super friendly and the rest of the experience was delightful!! The decor inside is really cute and it happened to be themed like the movie Clueless and the movie was playing at the bar. How fun! I got the poke and shrimp appetizers - both nice! For my entree I got the lemon chicken and the mashed potatoes that came with it were SO GOOD! My son got a lobster roll and enjoyed it. The kids meal with chicken was cute and they gave crayons and a coloring sheet menu to keep the little one busy. We didn't try the cocktails but they looked really creative and fun.

Such a wonderful Saturday Brunch experience for us! Needing a bit of the Hair of the Dog, we sought out a place with authentic food and drinks. The Farmacy showed up and took the game! Did not hesitate to order the Bloody Mary and this did the trick! Now we were ready to eat While we were very tempted by the Churro Waffles, we decided to split the baby and get the Beignets and The Chicken and Waffles. It was a perfect combo. We made reservations but still opted to sit at the bar because we like that setting. The bartenders were friendly and helpful, attentive and courteous. The only Negatives were the limited parking and they didn't have an espresso machine that I saw. (Was told they only have sweetened iced coffee or regular hot coffee) Still would go back and 100% recommend! read more

I am very hesitant to beat up on a local restaurant, yet folks need to know. This was a total Rip-Off! They speak of 1/2 off beers at happy hour-hour Only be their "house beer" which was a horrid dark IPA. The wife ordered the $3 Tacos app. We were charged $16. (See attached.) They were so wimpy on filler, it took 3 for her to make semi-decent ONE. I had read about their great French Dip. It maybe had 11/2 slices in it. (See attached). Our primary server's idea of customer service was sweeping past us saying "all good?" Not waiting for a response! We walked out hungry, $65. Poorer and totally disappointed. I would've complained, but servers disappeared routinely. AGAIN, I love getting away from Knoxville' plethoras of chain restaurants, but this was so bad I finally had to speak up. read more

Do not order takeout here! We were driving through town and searched up restaurants with good reviews that offered takeout because we wanted to try some local food but didn't have time to stop and sit. As soon as we walked in the door, the host staff were very rude and knew almost nothing about the menu, telling us incorrect information multiple times. I'd be willing to forgive this if the food was very good, because it's clearly primarily a sit down place and it's okay if the hostesses aren't practiced at taking takeout orders, but the food was very hit or miss. I'd say at best, it was okay. As people of color, we did not feel very safe and this is clearly not a welcoming environment. It's probably our fault for not doing more research, but just wanted to warn anyone who is unfamiliar or passing through the area like us. read more
