Blown away by the quality of sandwiches! Top quality with reasonable prices. Sandwiches are made in a jiffy during a busy time. Nice ambience with plenty of windows for an open nature feel. Only complaint is the front registers get conjested and confusing during the lunch rush. read more

Came here for the first time and it didn't disappoint. There were about 4 cars when we came at 11:30am and by 11:40 there were 25+ cars and all spots taken with line out the door. Solid 10/10 on the Grilled cheese panini with chicken - it's a 20/10 for me personally Solid 6/10 on the Tomato caprese baguette - if you add some kind of beef, chicken or turkey to it it'll be a 10/10 Overall very nice people, great service, no complaints! 5/5 stars! Solid 7.5/10 on the Hot chocolate - it's not bitter or to sweet. read more

Cute little luncheon place. The sandwiches were good. We placed our order for 2 sandwiches and 2 cokes. Almost $40! Wow. The good thing is I saved the other half of my sandwich and loaded potato salad for dinner. Hard for me to justify spending $20 for lunch. There's room for about 30 patrons to sit and enjoy lunch. The problem is when people sit as a large group and have finished eating and are very loud and still talking! Please head out and make room for the next lunch eating crew! The pickles were not good. read more

It was so good! The loaded baked potato salad is amazing! I got the pickled green tomato chicken capresé and it was delicious. Definitely get there early. We arrived at 11:30 and it was already packed. Not pictured in a cookie I purchased and it was delicious as well. They said they make all their treats in house! Well worth the visit read more

Delicious food and excellent service. Would certainly recommend for anyone interested in fine dining.

Stopped at this cafe on a friend recommendation on our way to Gatlinburg for a girls weekend. The restaurant is located down a paved hill from the Foothills Milling restaurant - two different restaurants. We parked at the top of the hill and walked down to a smallish cafe. You order at the counter when you walk in and there are tables to sit at in a space/room to the left. I ordered: Broccoli cheddar soup - large portion when you order the bowl. Decent recipe, had a bit of a tang to it and a thin consistency to the base. Pork Ba Mi - nice size sandwich and a side of mac salad (could have gotten a smaller soup side instead - I didn't realize). Mac salad was solid. I took the sandwich to our chalet because the soup was so big. Even eating it the next day, the sandwich was delicious! This should be a stop on anyone's to do list. I'll definitely find my way back to try other sandwiches. read more

I noticed the lowest review was two stars, because someone did not like that seating is limited. Yeah. Well, there's plenty of seating at Taco Bell right now, which should tell that person something. ... The food and desserts are excellent. And while the seating may be limited, plan for it ahead of time. It may be that you want to order to go, and take it home, the office, or just pull over on the side of the road and create a traffic nuisance. Whatever you do, go there and try it. You won't be disappointed! read more

What a beautiful gem in Knoxville. If you want a fancy yet comfortable delicious dinner date night, this is a great option. The salmon was absolutely outstanding, possibly one of the best I've ever had. Yet it's always the taste and ambience moment that makes the difference, right? Great looking menu and the service is top notch. Adds a touch of class to the experience. Beautiful dining room, maybe a bit tight at some tables but it's all good and when the focus is on the food and company, nothing else matters much. read more

The food here really lives up to the hype--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every bite was spot-on, and it's easy to see why people rave about the menu. Unfortunately, the experience falls apart when it comes to seating. There's little to no place to sit, making it difficult to actually enjoy the meal. Whether you're dining in or hoping to stay a while, the lack of space turns what should be a great visit into a frustrating one. Great food can only carry a place so far--without a comfortable spot to sit, it's hard to justify coming back. read more

A bustling place at lunch. Arrive early so you don't have to stake out a seat like a vulture. We ordered the soup sampler (everything was amazing except the Italian wedding which was just fine), the Italian sandwich which was a perfect combination of flavors, and the French dip which was cleverly served quartered into sticks for dipping. Truffle and pimento macs were flavorful and generous portions. Chocolate cupcake was moist and yummy. read more

The food here is amazing! I selected the steak Oscar and it did not disappoint. Get the truffle Mac & Cheese it is exquisite. Our server was great and helped us select the perfect dishes for our meal. While dining at the meal you listen to nice jazz music and they have multiple different rooms so you don't end up having to talk over others. Final Note: Foothills Milling Cafe is a great place to get a good steak and/or seafood. read more

Stopped by this sweet gem during our visit from VA. Very crowded. Wonderful food, HUGE portion sizes. I could only eat half of my sandwich. The other half I took to go. I did not see an option to order half a sandwich with a cup of soup, but when I return I will ask to see if it is an option. If not, I will be sharing a sandwich and soup with my hubby. read more

Nice cafe with elevated sandwiches and sides - all made to order. I had a hot sandwich which had fresh carved chicken and baguette was fresh with a toasty outside. Several sandwich types and salads to choose from and a few soups. Fresh coffee including lattes, cold brews and more. Team mates were friendly and cared about your experience and satisfaction. Seating was nice airy room. I will visit again - can not wait to try another sandwich or salad. read more

Brilliant food, great range of sandwich selections, sumptuous offerings. You will not be disappointed.

Food was amazing! We always know the food service and ambiance are consistently terrific. Andrew our server was top notch. He gave great suggestions, great service. He was friendly, attentive, kind, and professional. We had the ribs, one had the lobster, Caesar salad is huge, I enjoyed the fried oysters, and the scallops. read more

Looks like the building itself isn't open yet but looking forward to it opening! Meanwhile they do takeout for lunch 12-2p through their main restaurant and I have to say the sandwiches are pretty great! Ordering and paying online is super easy and they have curbside pickup designated parking spots. For lunch we got two sandwiches. They all come with coleslaw and a pickle. Muffuletta sandwich (4/5) pretty packed with meat (bologna, ham, Genoa salami and pepperoni) with an olive tapenade between rosemary focaccia. It was pretty good, although a bit on the salty side with all the preserved meats and olive tapenade. Short rib stuffed meatloaf sandwich (5/5) this was the favorite! The meatloaf was amazing when I had it at the restaurant and amazing pressed between the sweet sourdough bread. Super filling and you could probably even split it with another person. Sweet sourdough bread (5/5) sweet, fluffy, and so pillowy soft, the flavor is perfect. We got two loaves to save for a rainy day. Can't wait for the actual cafe to be finished cause I imagine the ambiance would be great. read more

I had no idea Foothills Milling Cafe had opened back up until I found myself in need of quick picnic lunch options during a visit to Maryville. While the permanent location is still under construction, you can order take-out from 11-2. The online ordering is simple, and you can call for curbside service or go in to the restaurant to pick up your order. The wait staff said the cafe building was supposed to open in May but they doubted it would be ready by then. In the meantime, the system they have works well. We ordered a Caesar salad, chicken noodle soup, the turkey basil sandwich, blackberry cobbler, buttermilk pie, and chewy molasses and chocolate meringue cookies (Yes, as a matter of fact we DID have trouble deciding on our desserts!). When we arrived to pick up, we were told the soup wasn't available and were offered several other options. My daughter picked the truffle mac and cheese, which turned out to be pretty close to mac and cheese perfection. I can't remember the last time a sandwich had just the right amounts of every ingredient, but the Turkey basil nailed it. It was the Italian-inspired sandwich of Joey Tribbiani's dreams. It came with mustard slaw, which was perfectly sauced and not too sweet, and a house-made dill pickle spear that would have been worth the trip just by itself. The sandwich could easily be a lunch for two unless you're really hungry. The Caesar salad was fresh and good but the only item that didn't bowl us over. The buttermilk pie and blackberry cobbler were equally impressive, each one a delightful blend of creamy and gooey with a pleasing crunch now and then. They were so yummy that we were saddened by our inability to finish even one dessert, let alone the cookies. Don't worry...we ate the cookies later and regretted that we hadn't bought more. So good! If you're in Maryville, Foothills Milling is a must stop, and if you're continuing on to the Smokies or even a local park, the cafe items travel well for picnicking. For not much more than you would pay at a fast food restaurant, you'll score a primo picnic lunch. read more

First time. I'll saw that most of my issues were with the experience and not the food. I really don't enjoy ordering at counter and having to decide if I should tip before experiencing the food and service. Hind sight recommendation: don't tip! You do everything yourself, from finding a table in small crowded room, cleaning table, picking up food, and bussing your table. Our cashier was new and that didn't help as she had to find and ask someone whenever we had a question. So despite all of that, I had brisket sandwich which was very plentiful. I would've been happy with just half of it. My only complaint was brisket was a lot more fatty than I prefer. I don't enjoy large amounts of soft fat, but some do. I also had the coleslaw as my side which was ok. Prefer more vinegar based to cut the fattiness of brisket. Also ordered a bowl of white chicken chili which was huge. I tried a few bites and it was delicious, but was a meal in itself. Gave it to my friend to take home as a leftover. She ordered a cup of the same chili and was satisfied. My recommendation if not alone, we would've been very happy with splitting sandwich and bowl or trying two different sides. Overall: I'll go back knowing now what to expect. I believe their food is worth that, just don't be prepared for a little chaos. Edit: went back again a few weeks later, couldn't find a parking spot, so didn't stay. They stay busy from 11-2. Enjoy! read more

We ate at the Cafe today. I had the chicken salad sandwich. Very good. Lots of people were there.
