excellent home cooking and a friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Had a cousin visiting near by from TX, so we met here for lunch. Loved the Americana style of the place! All these years we lived about 30 minutes away and never have been there... that changes now! It is worth the drive. HH & I arrived at 11:30am Thursday and the place was packed! Great sign for us. It was seat yourself, but we needed 4 seats. So while we waited by the door two men sitting at a 6 'top' table heard we would need the bigger table so they moved to a two top and gracefully gave us the 6 top. Very nice of them! Our server was the adorable MISSY! What a hoot! The visiting cousin was with her new fiancé and we were just meeting him that day. (He is a GREAT guy with a funny sense of humor... we approve;) Missy and David (fiancé) hit it off and she knew who 'pick on', and we all had great laughs! So much so that I think other people were leaning in to hear the jokes and fun stories! Cousin is GF and Missy was terrific in following up on her requests. Cousin & Fiancé each had the same breakfast eggs & meats plate that looked yummy! HH & I enjoyed our food as well. I had the Club Sandwich with tots. It was perfect! HH is a Meat loaf loving guy and heartily loved it with the fried okra. (The former TX guy loves him some fried okra)) We were having so much fun I forgot pictures of our plates All in all it was a wonderful visit made even better by Missy! 2.5 hours later we had to say good bye but agreed to be back! read more

Meme's is one of the best country restaurants in Tennessee! I'm so glad we stopped here for lunch! The restaurant is clean and neatly decorated. The servers are super friendly and helpful. The menu is large, is loaded with all the comfort food you could possibly want, and you can order breakfast all day! I ordered the meatloaf plate (with a yummy ketchup sauce on top) with a side of mashed potatoes & gravy, the delicious cabbage casserole, and 2 fresh home-baked rolls. I really enjoy meatloaf, but I love making meatloaf sandwiches on rolls with a bit of mashed potatoes and gravy on top. I was able to make two scrumptious meatloaf sandwiches from this plate. They were delicious! The portions were large and I definitely left full. If you like cabbage, I highly recommend the cabbage casserole. It was hot, creamy, and delicious (think broccoli casserole with cabbage instead of broccoli). Their dessert case is beautiful, and every dessert is obviously homemade. I took a large piece of pumpkin pie (with fresh whipped cream!) home. Although, I'll probably eat it in the car before we get back to Nashville. There is a large parking lot and the restroom was very clean. Cash and credit are both welcome here. I look forward to visiting again soon and I recommend you try MeMe's Restaurant if you get the chance! read more

Yes I recommend this location does it need some direction yes the food was great and it's great most times but recently it's missing some seriously a great cook, country food not hard to make just get a country woman and done. But it seems as though they got. A teenager in the back cooking. We've been coming here since we moved to this small town and I love the pintos and grilled cheese but my pintos come out lightly warm. And grilled cheese messed up. I have high hopes for this place. read more

MeMe's Restaurant - Chicken Casserole - Diners Near Me - Rockwood, Tennessee

If you enjoy solid, homestyle, American comfort food served hot with excellent table service. This is the place for you. Breakfast is served all day - as others have said, try the pancakes. They also offer insanely delicious home-style pies and ice cream desserts that are off the hook. Prices are very reasonable so bring the whole fam damily. read more

Extensive menu, almost every seat was filled, and wait staff was friendly. I was staying in Harriman TN which has an abundance of fast food, but seemingly not much in the way of local eateries. I was delighted to try this one. read more

Great food and great service. Wish I could have had a dessert they looked amazing. Our food was spot On! read more

Apparently an old auto parts store, and still looks like one inside. Service was okay. ' Varied menu consisting mainly of breakfast dishes, burgers/sandwiches and a few salads, all at fairly reasonable prices. Good sized portions, standard diner food; nothing special. Good selection of pies and cheesecakes. Apparently a popular spot with the locals, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here. read more

Everything here is excellent. We have been dining here once a week for dinner and once for breakfast. I've tried allot of items and nothing has been disappointing. If you can't fit dessert in at the restaurant they have them ready to go and always a great selection. read more

This is by far the best small town dinner in the South. Excellent food at affordable prices with the best service ever known. This small town restaurant is locally owned and operated. They provide excellent service to all their customers! read more

I think I'm being a little tough on this place because for what it is, a simple basic diner in a small town, the food was very tasty. Four stars should be considered as excellent, but I think too many reviewers are soft these days. To me, the greens that I had with the menu were very bland. And that's about the only reason that I don't give them the full five stars. Again, there's nothing fancy about the place, it's not fine dining, but it sure was a good lunch. They have a full array of burgers and sandwiches, some salads, and some entrées. It seems they have a daily selection of two or three meats and then several vegetables, and that's what I ordered. Also I should have the service was wonderful, I was waited on very quickly, I got refills of drinks when I needed them, and everything was good read more

MeMe's Restaurant - Daily special meat and two, I chose chicken livers - Diners Near Me - Rockwood, Tennessee

RUDE MANAGEMENT, NEGATIVE 10 RATING The bill was not correct as 1/2 of the items were more than what the menu said. When we pointed that and a couple other issues out, we became the troublemakers. They informed us that they make $6K/day and have NEVER had a complaint. They would not listen or take a second to actually hear anything from us. The management was highly unprofessional and downright rude. If I could give this restaurant a minus 10 rating, I would. If you don't mind being treated horribly, go here. But if you don't want to get ripped off, check your bill before you pay it! read more

This is truly a good place to eat. We were passing through Rockwood on our way back to Chattanooga from Kentucky. I had read the great reviews before we went to Kentucky and had thought we might eat in Rockwood going north but the timing was not right. We stopped at MeMe's at 11 AM and they were already getting very busy. I told my wife that is a good sign the food will be good and I was right! My wife said her sandwich was very good as was my Reuben. It was probably the best one I have ever had. read more

Clean, friendly, easy to find. Prompt service. The food is wonderful! Don't miss the pancakes! The biscuit maker also knows what they're doing. My only regret is that we couldn't stay for dinner (going to have to skip lunch) because they're having chicken livers with amazing veg sides. Get off the highway and get here! read more

MeMe's Restaurant - The best I could do with this plate sized pancake from heaven. - Diners Near Me - Rockwood, Tennessee

We are in quest of the best family owned diner and hands down this is our favorite so far! The service inside was amazing. Everyone had a smile and made all the customers feel like regulars. Food was comfort home cooked delicious. My husband is looking for the best club sandwich and this was up at the top of the list. Highly recommend this little diner when you pass thru Rockwood. If you open a little more East (Farragut, Lenoir City) guaranteed customers every day! read more

Outstanding homemade food. The staff are amazing and make you feel welcome. Definitely be back!

Food was great. We really liked it. I would order from here again. We had it delivered.

Simply amazing in all ways. Phenomenal service with quality ingredients. If ever in the area don't hesitate!

This place is absolutely fantastic! I found this place located in my hometown a Rockwood, Tennessee while visiting some friends and family. This place used to be a NAPA auto parts store however it was converted into a restaurant more of a diner. I absolutely love supporting small businesses and local businesses. They have both a breakfast menu and a dinner menu. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Some places you go to you may feel uncomfortable and out of place but this place is perfect! I know there are many people who would not find themselves in the small town but if you ever do definitely give this place a try! read more

MeMe's is a pleasant surprise inside a nondescript package. It's like walking into the set of the diner in Mayberry. The food is good, plain fare at reasonable prices. Be sure to try the cheesecake, y'all. read more

We ate lunch here today and had the roast beef plate with mashed potatoes and green beans. My husband ordered the full plate and I had the had plate. It was delicious. Our server was very attentive. We'll be back! read more

Goodness! I love me a good diner style restaurant and this one did not disappoint. My dad found this place while he wife was in the hospital nearby. He wanted to take me there for lunch. The service and food were great -- so much so that we came back for dinner and enjoyed the experience all over again. I was extremely impressed by the young men hustling in the restaurant that evening - our server had one arm in a sling and still managed to deliver our food to the table efficiently and with a great personality! Job well done, MeMe's! read more

I would highly recommend this restaurant. Amazing food, great service and an overall wonderful experience!!

Large variety of menu items, have tried several and very pleased with them. Super friendly staff and fairly quick service.

Nothing special or memorable with the food or people. If I don't want to fry my own burger, and if they're open, they'll fry my burger. Pancakes are big. read more

do you will about missed this place because of everything else being big around it with big signs and search but MeMe's is a hidden treasure. I stopped in for a little breakfast and well not being a local the staff was very friendly in family lake and we even get to share a couple of jokes along the way. I thought the pricing was very good and the food was absolutely wonderful. read more

We were really looking forward to trying this place out while visiting after reading some great reviews. We were highly disappointed with the service along with the 30 minute wait to be acknowledged. When I asked for a refill, the waitress rolled her eyes. The onion rings were great, but the cheeseburger I received was soggy. I may have caught them on a bad day. read more
