Our favorite Clinton TN restaurant…read more... Takes a while to adjust to the Orange. Tennessee-Ohio State not played often, when the Vols defeated the Buckeyes 20-14 in the 1996 Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida. The game featured a pair of huge stars. The Vols were led by then-sophomore quarterback Peyton Manning, who went on to became a Pro Football Hall of Famer and one of the greatest passers in NFL history. No. 8 Ohio State defeated No. 9 Tennessee 42-17 in the 2024 College Football Playoff first round on December 21, 2024. The Buckeyes dominated early, leading 21-0 in the first quarter and 42-10 by the fourth, led by Will Howard's two touchdown passes to Jeremiah Smith and strong rushing performances from TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins. Clinton has many Knoxville fans, and nearly all are wearing Orange Ball hats whilst dining. I goto my XT5 to retrieve my OSU National Champs hat. At any rate Gondolier is full and most folks are having Italian or pizza. Caveat: This place is too good to order pizza.

It's hard to spend money places if the staff isnt friendly, doesn't welcome you when you walk in or…read moreacts like you owe them something. This was far from the case. We were welcomed upon entering, seated promptly and the waitress, Victoria, came to welcome and take drink orders right away. We received prompt and very courteous service. Victoria was a pleasure to have as a waitress. She engaged in conversation and smiled. Things you would expect when giving your money for a service but are rarely afforded anymore. The food was delicious!! There was a good variety to choose from. We ended up with the gyro plate and sandwich. The flavor was great and everything was toasty warm upon receiving. Thank you, Victoria, for the outstanding service and kindness!

In the past the serving staff has not been the warmest or friendliest (we've eaten here dozens of times) and I'm not sure if we're just regulars now and they're nicer or if they've heard the feedback from others and made a concerted effort to rectify things. Either way - really solid little cheeseburger and while I'd love to try their daily specials that I hear everyone rave about I can't pull myself away from a standard cheeseburger and seasoned fries.

Desserts are hit or miss depending on the day but the meal portions are so large you probably won't have room anyway. There's nothing fancy about the dining area, it's pure diner style. Service is almost always superb but they can be short-handed at times. Just wish they were open for breakfast since that option is almost nonexistent in town.
