We came on a very busy Saturday night (weekend of Dogwood Festival, theatre night, and prom night)…read more Thankful to have a reservation, we were promptly seated while others with no reservation were being told three hour wait times. I loved the vibe of Tupelo, the hanging lush green plants on the side of the bustling kitchen, the cheerful staff and the lively music. Lizette was our server and she was just a darling. It was our first time here, and she was so helpful with her all of her recommendations. One of Lizette's favorites was the "Peach, don't kill my vibe" sangria. Which I just loved. I nice mix of peach and pineapple in a sangria. For our mains, we had the grilled harvest chicken and the chicken tenders. Both mains came with two sides. With my grilled harvest chicken, I got the mashed potatoes and the braised bacon green beans. The green beans were to die for, even my hubby was saying he should've ordered that as his side. The harvest chicken I loved--especially the sautéed spinach, red peppers and tomatoes on top. But if you can't handle spicy, this dish does have some heat to it. And we ended my birthday celebration with the heavenly banana pudding. It was heavenly in every way. Made in house, and so delicious that even my hubby ate it and he never cares for this dessert. If I could've licked that little bowl, I would've. We already cannot wait to come back and try some of the brunch items on their menu. We loved everything about Tupelo and hats off to Lizette for making our night even more special!!

It will remain a favorite place when we're in Tennessee.

If you're looking for a tasty, quick bite in Marble City Market, Rom's House is a must-try. My…read morehusband and I shared the Rom's Fast Fix-A-Quick Delicious Small Bite with marinated beef, and it was fantastic. The beef was juicy and tender, practically melting in your mouth with every bite. The seasoning was spot on--flavorful without overpowering the natural richness of the meat. It paired perfectly with the rice, which was light and fluffy, creating a great balance of textures and flavors. The only thing that could have elevated the dish even more would be a little extra sauce to mix into the rice. That would have brought the whole dish together, but even without it, the flavor was still on point. Overall, it's a great spot for a delicious HALAL option, and I'll definitely be back to try more next time we drive through Knoxville. Food- 5/5 Service- 5/5 Ambiance- 5/5

The main entrees are a bowl that consists of meat & rice/veggies topped by a baked bread layer. It comes with a salad and drink. The meat was perfectly seasoned and tender. Really, it's a huge meal for the money and extremely delicious. It's comparable to Middle Eastern or Mediterranean food. But, slightly different in presentation and seasoning. Aside from the main entree, we also tried the fries. My son thought they were delicious and said it was his favorite version of fries. Service was reasonably quick and staff members were friendly. I saw lots of people here trying it out and everyone seemed to really be enjoying the food. Overall: This is a great new addition to the Knoxville restaurant scene. If you like trying different styles of food or enjoy Middle Eastern food, you need to try ROM's House. It's super delicious. Highly recommended.

I get this almost every time I come with someone and we share a couple dishes. Today however, I got my second favorite, which is dish #1 the diner kebab platter. I get this when I come here by myself because it's got all my favorites in the perfect proportions! Salad, doner over pilaf with hummus and pita.
