We spent our anniversary at BlackBerry Farm and had the most wonderful time. Farm to table dishes…read morefor all three meals is something I could get used to. The beautiful fresh produce complimented the expertly cooked and seasoned proteins. There wasn't a single thing we ate that we didn't enjoy. In between meals, we made sure to stay active to earn our appetite. The property offers access to great trails in the Smokies which we took advantage of as well as a lovely outdoor pool with a view. The room itself was pleasant as well. It was hard to leave the luxurious king bed every morning. The heated floors in the bathroom and the comfy sitting area made our Holly Springs cottage suite the perfect home base. We were also assigned our own golf cart to get around the property (although we chose to walk mostly to take in the views). Service was top notch and the staff were wonderful. Every evening they surprised us with a little treat for our anniversary which was very thoughtful. We couldn't have asked for a better stay!

We have talking about BlackBerry Farms for years and that we needed to go. We knew it was…read moreexpensive, but the recounting of our friends kept drawing our interest back in. We decided to take the plunge and we are so happy we did. It's a 3 night minimum and frankly a great idea to take it all in. We enjoyed the following activities ; Fly Fishing, wine tasting , the spa , a farm tour , & tomato tasting. All were spectacular and unique to themselves. The culinary experience is nothing short of a Michelin experience for dinner. The price is all inclusive , sans your alcohol. The service is world class and the staff makes you feel so welcome. Whether it's a special occasion or a bucket list item , I would say it's a must in your lifetime !! Side note- We thought this would be a one and done. However, the level of experience and ability to unplug was extremely therapeutic. Hope you enjoy the review by LIKING it and sharing feedback :).

Decided to find a spot close by to eat while stopping for gas on the way to the Tail of the Dragon…read more Only a couple minutes off the parkway. We were greeted right away and were able to take a table. Small dining area, with very limited seating. Nice warm cozy vibe including Bob Ross on the tv. The food came out quickly. Hot and fresh. I got the Snoring Bear Breakfast. I chose the Cajun seasoning for the tilapia and it was a lil bland. I probably could have asked for more seasoning, so that's on me. The rest was great. Eggs cooked to perfection. My wife chose the fish platter and she said the fish was delicious. The fries were a lil over seasoned and she had to rub some of the fries off. As for the drinks, cans of Coke, Sprite, etc are $1.99 each. A lil pricey but it is clearly marked on the menu. My only complaint is I ordered a water and was charged 50 cents. It's not listed anywhere on the menu, so I was surprised to see it on my bill. Overall, I would probably stop here again for a quick bite if I'm in the area. Nice little place, and the service is great!

Arrived for a birthday dinner at 4pm. (Dead not busy at all) "Please wait to be seated " oh we…read morewaited...and waited, and we waited longer. Not to mention we are regular guests which severing staff know us. Finally got seated. We had to ask for kids menu which we know were available (We're regulars). The host is not paying attention. I was well aware prices have gone up at least a dollar from the entire menu, and we do enjoy the food, but to set the expectation of "average" menus item being $14, and burgers $14.75-$16.75, you've got to do better. Thankfully the server made the entire experience great. She has served us multiple times and understands our special needs for our son. *We'll definitely be back, but I this industry will not survive "expecting" 20% and doing that to guests. (That servers we had will always get a generous tip from us) ***It's gong to come down to asking to be sat in specific server's section.

We ate here for the first time and the food and service were absolutely amazing! Our server, Bret,…read moreprovided one of the best levels of service we've ever experienced. As first-timers, he gave great recommendations, kept our drinks full, and checked on us several times to make sure everything tasted as good as it looked. His jokes and easygoing demeanor were the icing on the cake! When we arrived, we were told the wait would be about an hour, but it ended up being closer to 30 minutes, which was great. The food was definitely worth the wait. Everything was delicious, super filling, and came out quickly. I can absolutely see why they're rated the best breakfast in Knoxville. We'll definitely be back -- and we'd love to have Bret as our server again!

We stopped here for breakfast after landing in Knoxville, and it was a great way to start the day…read more The wait time was about 20 minutes, which wasn't bad at all, and we were able to wait inside in a comfortable area. The restaurant itself was beautifully decorated, which made the whole experience feel a bit more special. Service was almost excellent--very attentive and friendly--and our food came out fairly quickly after we ordered. Most importantly, everything we had was absolutely delicious. Definitely a solid breakfast spot if you're in the area!

Well, this was a fun surprise!…read more 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.

I really wanted to love this place. My husband and I were so excited to try it--the atmosphere…read morelooked 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.

Finally was able to give this venue a try at long last! Solid 4.5 out of 5 for a morning breakfast…read morevisit. The venue was nice inside and very clean. The staff were also helpful to bring out everything very timely and checked in often. The coffee was ON POINT! The food has some highs and lows, with the eggs and bacon being the standouts. The bread of the cinnamon roll and toast had gotten a bit stiff but was still really good. We will do our best to try and come back when we can! Definitely come and give it a go!

This place is fabulous! Came Friday for brunch. I ordered the Hash...it was my most favorite…read morebreakfast I have ever had! Seriously! The roasted veggies, grits, poached egg, house bacon with balsamic glaze all worked together perfectly. My Sweetie had the Sausage Omelette and loved it. Carly was our server and she was great and happily answered all our questions. We took advantage of the beautiful day and sat in their outdoor seating area. Carly even brought a fly fan for the table. I can't wait to come back and try something else.

Dude. Get here…read more Been twice and each time felt like the first. Chicken Lollipops are fun to try - get different flavors and have fun with it - this is the way. The inside looked great, the staff were awesome, everything looked clean, and the food was simply splendid.

Everything clearly 25% higher than it needs to be. Some ridiculous examples: A bowl of pasta was $30+! For flour and water! Wine served in a giant glass filled 20% of the way for $14! One should get 5 glasses out of a wine bottle. They must get 10. We will never go back.

More importantly, it's totally worth it. We got a box of goodies and they were all fantastic. You can taste the quality of the products they use. You can taste the butter. It's just lovely. My husband also really liked his latte. We sat inside and ate some of our goodies. We took the rest home for my mum for Mother's Day. My family loved them, too. Nice space. We also bought some whole wheat flour as a gift while there. Will absolutely go back when I'm in the area.

I stopped here to grab some treats on my way out of Knoxville. This bakery/cafe is absolutely…read moreadorable inside - bright, spacious, welcoming - and has some limited outdoor seating too. If I'd had more time, I would have loved hanging out here for a while. I only managed to get here about 45 minutes to close, so their selection was understandably if somewhat disappointingly quite picked over. I wound up with a cranberry oat scone and a blueberry and raspberry hand tart. The employee was very pleasant and warm. I appreciated her eagerness to help and positive attitude despite my late arrival. The baked goods sadly didn't really live up to my expectations. The cranberry oat scone was the much better of the two; it was pleasantly sweet and had the proper scone texture and only a little dry. Unfortunately, the hand tart had several edges that I discovered later had been burnt. This impacted the flavor of the whole item and sadly diminished it greatly. The fruit filling was tasty at least, though I didn't get much raspberry from it -- mostly blueberry. I'd be down to try again in the future, just would come earlier in the day when the selection is a bit larger and the products available are a bit more "choice," let's say. I appreciated the kind service and lovely vibes!

Last night a gentleman next to our table said "you gotta try Ruby Sunshine"…read moreThis morning I would say I completely agree, at the door I could see food going to tables and I immediately thought "wow" I ordered the Trifecta, it was delicious but I personally realized that I'm not a chicken Benedict guy. This isn't a jab at Ruby, I just enjoyed the other 2 better. The staff was very friendly and efficient, my only jab is the seating because I'm 6'3 I felt too big for the chair and I would of liked a booth but the booths are bigger for 4+ parties. The prices are about $2 cheaper than the surrounding averages, the ruby is more than "a try" it's a frequent.
