First visit was tonight for dinner. Found Pete's on the Google map. Had a great hamburger steak...large grilled steak and tasty. My husband had the double cheese burger and onion rings. Ice tea was fresh and dining area was clean and not too crowded. Love it yall. read more

People rave about this place but I honestly wasn't impressed. We got steak and potatoes and desert. I wasn't impressed by any of these items and everything was expensive. Definitely not worth the price. read more

Never in all of my years of ordering a steak of any kind, has this happened before. They cut into the steak several times to check for doneness. I showed the server and she refused to let us pay for our meal. I tried to pay for what we did eat, but she wouldn't let us. That was the good part of the experience. read more

The food at Pete's is pretty good. The service is excellent. The restaurant could use a little sprucing up. I had the ribeye and honestly it was cooked well. read more

I saw reviews about the menu prices being wrong over 6 months ago and thought no way they are still incorrect, well they are. They advertise one and charge you another, not what a respectable place does!! Food was ok, catfish sandwich was not good, bad bun and bad tartar. read more

Food was Great prices are good. Family owned and operated. I recommend you and your family try.

Service is great here the food was spectacular. I don't like coconut pie, but this coconut pie looked amazing tea probably one of the best teas that I've also had and then also the server Jodi excellent friendly, great service ambience like a little small diner, but with a great little millennial look about it I really liked it. Come check it out. read more

Passed through Manardville coming from Norris Dam going back to Corryton. Awesome steak. Watched the Kentucky Derby on the patio. Real nice folks out there. read more

Went here while i was in town stopping to see family. Ordered a steak and Mac. Let me just say the steak was amazing. Perfectly cooked. Overall flavor was great. Staff was very nice an helpful. Left extra full and satisfied. Would definitely recommend and return. read more

Worst service I've ever received anywhere. It's impossible for them to get your order correct if you pick up curbside. When you call,they say it'll be ready in an hour,which is fine. When you get there...there's NO order and you pay FIRST to be told it'll be an hour before you food is ready. Most all comes with 2 sides,you're lucky if you get 1. read more

My husband had a job up in Maynardville this afternoon. He finished close to dinner time and we decided to stop in this local restaurant. At first glance we weren't sure if it was a restaurant and thought maybe it was just a bar. We took a chance and walked into the lobby. We were further confused upon entering the lobby. There was no one there to greet you and there were two doors. The door on the left said OPEN so we took a chance on that being the entrance. That door did lead to a dining room but again there was no one to greet you and tables were very close to the door. We sat ourselves and waited just a few minutes for a very nice young server to come over. She greeted us with menus, silverware, and took our drink order. After sitting there for a few minutes we realized she was the only server on that side of the restaurant. (We found out the other door led to the other side and it was a bar but also had tables.) We both ordered sweet tea and it was made just like this southern girl likes it, with lots of sugar!! She did a great job keeping our glasses full even for my husband who is a guzzler. After reading a few of the reviews, we ordered the 10-12 ounce ribeye, which was $1 more due to increased beef prices. We both ordered our steaks medium rare, baked potato, and a loaded salad. The loaded salad was $2 more but well worth it. The bacon was more like smoked ham, the shredded cheese seemed to be shredded onsite rather than preshredded, and it was delicious. The baked potato was soft and fluffy! The ribeyes were a little gristly not just fat that you would expect from a ribeye. They were cooked to a perfect medium rare, red warm center. They steaks were chargrilled and the flavor was excellent. If I'd known the grill master knew how to grill a good steak, so many don't now a days, I would have ordered it medium. It was a little too red in some places for me but otherwise had a great flavor. The reason we rated it a 3 was because: 1. The confusion at the entrance. We almost left because we didn't know which door to enter. 2. How dark the parking lot was which I didn't even mention in my review but you can see in the pictures. They need some outdoor lighting. And 3. The gristly steak, both my husbands and my steak was very gristly. For $20, I expect a good cut of meat. My husband described it as very stringy. As far as COVID restrictions, the server was wearing a mask but the tables were not properly distanced and the dining room was full. read more

Been here several times and it's always good. I always get steak but I'm sure they have other entrees that are good. Everyone I take to Pete's loves it. read more

Solid place and great atmosphere. Was recommended to head up to Pete's Place by some friends knowing we are on the hunt for good food. It was worth the drive. When we arrived on a Saturday night it was pretty busy, with quite a waiting list. When you walk in there is a board you add you name and number in party to. There are two doors - door on right leads to the bar area, door to left leads to the more dining like room area. While we waited I decided to go to the bar and grab us a few beers, very reasonably priced. The place was packed so it did take a minute to get served but not a big deal. We waited in the "hallway where we walked in" and it maybe took about 15-20 minutes before we were seated. We ended up being seated on the bar side at a high top. Our waitress was quick to come over with menus and get our drink order. We ordered a Pete's Ribeye (rare) with baked potato and onion rings and a Pasta Alfredo with a baked potato as a side. Everything was very good. The ribeye was a little gristly and I should've ordered it medium rare rather than rare since it is a little more of a fatty steak and needed the few extra minutes to render the fat. Onion rings and baked potato were good. My husband had the pasta and he said it was good. We will definitely go back and try it again! Pricing was overall very reasonable too, I think both meals, and a few rounds of drinks we were under $50 not bad at all! read more

For a simple but delectable meal, try Pete's Place in Maynardville, TN! Conveniently located on State Route 33. We stopped in for dinner with out of town friends! We had a delightful time and enjoyed our meals! read more

Husband got the pork chops and his side dishes were good. I got the big salad, it was just OK (iceberg lettuce, a bit of bacon bits, tomato, etc) but I wasn't in a meat mood. Also got chicken tenders on top but they were some generic heavily breaded type. I know they are known for steaks. Service was slow but it was really busy and understaffed. read more

My son was wanting fried catfish and we were actually heading somewhere else. The other place was crowded so we ended up here. He changed his mind and got fried grouper, as did I. My other son got the ribeye. We spoke with folks at the tables on each side of us and they both talked up the ribeye. They are BIG! We tried food off of each other's plates and there were no complaints. I enjoyed the grouper but I will probably get the ribeye next time. It's big enough to share. Service - can't say enough there. Super sweet young lady waited on us. Everyone had a smile. Definitely heading back and taking others with us. read more

While there, a lady was basically served raw chicken tenders. My food was fine. Service is hit or miss.

Been three times now, good food, cute place. Quick service each time. Will definitely keep going back.

One of the best rib eye steaks I've ever tasted. The homemade chips were too thin, and the "loaded" side salad had more onion than lettuce for some reason, so maybe I should have just gotten the regular salad for $2 less. Not much of a beer selection, odd for a tavern. read more

Pete's Place - Pete's Ribeye steak, medium - Pubs Near Me - Maynardville, Tennessee

We had heard great reviews about this place so we decided to try. We were a party of 5 and we were sat within 10 minutes of arrival. Our drinks were never empty and the service was fantastic!! The Pete's Party Platter was a big sized appetizer and tasted great. The ribeye steak was cooked perfectly and super juicy and flavorful. Highly recommend Pete's Place! read more

Pete's Place - Ribeye with loaded baked potato - Pubs Near Me - Maynardville, Tennessee

First time here. My wife and I both ordered the steak...ribeye for her, Filet for me. Steaks were very tender and flavorful. Temp was just a bit over, but completely acceptable. As far as sides, baked potato was good, onion rings were ok, steamed veg were a bit soggy and flavorless. Service was excellent. Wait time was minimal. Decor was average, nothing negative or positive. Overall, glad we went and will be back! read more

Excellent food! We really enjoyed our steak dinners and the wait staff are wonderful. We love going there. Order the 'loaded' side salad, it's awesome. read more

If I lived anywhere near, I'd be going back for sure. I was in the area for some work and this place had what I needed- food, beer, free wireless and a plug (I had to write some stuff and send in). Beyond the basics: the food was GOOD, the beer was cheap, and the service was nice. I had a burger and onion rings....then two beers. The burger meat was thick. The bun was just ok-- this was like a "classic" basic burger, nothing upscale or fancy. Onion rings crisp and plentiful. So...my entire bill plus tip was UNDER $20! I thought this was really good pricing. Then the next night I was in west Knox and went to a place where I had a similar quantity of food and drink (and also similar in quality) and the bill was over $40 with tip!!! So that made me determined to write a review of Pete's. Good food, good prices, good service-- what more do you want? I want to get back over there and try steaks or other items. read more

I always enjoys Pete's place, one of the local restaurants in Maynardville. Their cooking is southern and delicious And if you're in the mood for a great steak, you certainly should entertain. Very large portions at a very decent price. Highly recommended! read more

We're on vacation from Fla and while everything suggested in the area for visitors has been amazing, this was a huge disappointment. We ordered a large amount of food (for 4) on New Year's Day and fully understood the long hour wait but part of our order was missing. Then I was informed the sides we ordered from their web site haven't been available for awhile (something that should've been told when we phoned in the order) so I waited to have the missing items prepared which then meant our other items sat & got cold. And we were charged again.... read more

I'm a serious connoisseur when it comes to steaks. The usual local favorites have let me down repeatedly not knowing how to cook anything Pittsburgh Rare. The guy on the grill was young, so I had my doubts. I sat at the bar so I could watch. At first, I was thinking, "he's totally letting this cook too long," but then he took it out of the flame, let it rest for a couple of minutes, and then it was sitting in front of me. What I ended up with was perfect --- wonderfully caramelized seasoning on the outer crust with perfect char and a blood red center that was cooked through without being bloody --- Exactly what I expect when I order them this way! The staff was attentive, quick refills on the iced tea and absolutely no complaints. Great job on a great meal! read more

A good friend of mine who often orders ribeyes told me about this place. We stopped in here on Saturday evening and the parking lot was packed. They got us in in about 15 or 20 minutes and the conversation with the regulars in the waiting area was just wonderful, everyone was so friendly. Once we got in, our drinks were brought to us by the owner's (Keith, aka "Pap") grandson Gavin. A delightful young man who told us that one day he hopes to be the owner. I hope he makes it, although there are a number of young'uns running around the restaurant so there should be no shortage of great ownership with a vested interest in the restaurant's future. Keith introduced himself before we left and he is a real gentleman as well. My wife and I split a large ribeye and it was one of the best steaks I've ever eaten. I look forward to joining the regulars here at Pete's place in the future. read more

If you find yourself in Maynardville, TN and you are looking for something a little more swanky than the local marina( which btw, I still recommend) I suggest head on over to Petes Place. They have a decent selection of steaks and brews for Union County and although nothing to write home about, still your best bet in this (red) neck of the woods! (we call it home 4 months out of the year) read more

The food was good, and the waitstaff was extremely friendly and attentive. It was a bar atmosphere, so a level of noise is to be expected, but the music was turned up SO loud, you had to literally scream across the table to make yourself heard. Our party of four left early because of it. read more

Food was was wonderful...but the service was terrible. Our blonde waitress totally ignored us. She was so busy hugging and chatting up people she knew the rest of us were ignored. We noticed other tables equally as frustrated. Not sure we'll go back. read more
