Recently spent some time in Knoxville, TN and found out they had a 'pizza drive-in' called Pizza Palace! I've never been to a drive-in pizza place, so had to give it a try. The food itself is average, but the experience was really cool. Like a typical drive-in (like Sonic), you find a parking spot, check out the menu and press the button to order. Like a movie, the speakers are very old, making it very hard to hear the person taking your order, but we managed. Unlike most places, Pizza Palace only takes cash, so when they bring the order to your car, you pay at that point. Overall service was fast and friendly. Food was hot and fresh. Again not the best pizza or wings, but experience definitely makes this place worth a visit!

I was finally able to stop at Pizza Palace. I have been looking forward to trying this place for quite some time. I love nostalgic local places like this. I have to say that the wait was worth it. One thing to note, they only take cash, but they have an ATM of sorts if you forget. Just order first, then go inside to pay or you can order inside. I got pizza and onion rings. I really wanted the onion rings. A half order is huge. They were phenomenal! Probably in my top 3 that I've had. The pizza was really good and worth going just for that, but get the onion rings too. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I wish I lived closer, but probably best for my health. If you are in Knoxville, don't hesitate to check out the Pizza Palace and get the onion rings to go with whatever else you want.

To each their own and today, my own was a stop at this drive-up pizza and spaghetti joint. I did manage to fit my Sprinter van into the spot though it was a tight fit. After hitting the button and placing my order, it only took about 12 minutes for my order to be prepared and brought out to me. A very nice lady with a big smile handed it over, made change, and I was on my way. I opted not to eat in the van, taking it with me for about 15 minutes down the highway to a rest area. The spaghetti with meatballs was a big portion. Hearty sauce and al dente noodles, I managed to eat the whole thing without spilling one drop on my shirt. That's a plus. The small "super" pizza was also delicious though a bit underdone for my taste. Doughy crust, lots of toppings (pepperoni, onions, peppers, sausage and more), it was nicely sliced. As I'd just finished the pasta, I only had one slice with dinner and the rest for lunch the next day. The veggies were quite crunchy and not cooked much. If that's how you like your onions and peppers, you'll love it. I'm glad I was able to hit up this spot. Good stuff. [Review 19566 overall - 390 in Tennessee - 537 of 2023.]

Best ever! The crown jewel of onion rings !

Absolutely the best onion rings in the world ! Seriously.. I could literally just eat a plate of those things and call it one ! Am not even playin'!

Full order of onion rings

This was the first time we have been to Pizza Palace. Many people have recommended to try this place out. I decided to call ahead and then pick it up since it's about 25 mins from my house. The staff were very kind and respectful on the phone and in person. They had big smiles and that made it feel very welcoming since it's not in the best part of town. It has a cool drive in feel for sure. I could only imagine how cool this place was during it's prime. Now to the food. We did not need a full order of the onion rings, half would have been plenty for sure. They were very fresh and hot when I picked up the food, you can tell they are made in house. The flavor was decent but could maybe use a little more seasoning, just my opinion. I would probably try them again. The pizza was great, I mean if you like thinner crust pizza with great flavor this is your spot. There is a lot of cheese on the pizza so you will have some grease. The flavor was outstanding and I for sure will be ordering it again. The child's meat sauce spaghetti was well for sure the star item, I would have never imagined the sauce was going to have the flavor it did. Amazing and we will for sure be trying more of their bone pizza options too. Price: it's not cheap but I wouldn't say it was real expensive either. I recommend giving them a try.

3. Pepperoni Pizza

I drive 18 miles one way for this drive up! No joke I needed some good cheesy pizza and boy did we get it! Along with amazing spaghetti and the worlds most unique and delicious chef salad to ever exist. Don't expect it fast because it's all fresh cooked to order and we'll worth it.

Kefi - Buttered Lobster Pasta

Finally, a restaurant downtown that's not insanely loud. Loved the fact they had booths all around…read morethe outside of the room. Made it much easier to have a conversation. Also loved the fact there was a mocktail flight. As a sober couple this is huge for us. Portions were good sized and although a bit pricey, we'd come back and make a dinner out of like 3 apps.

Came to Kefi for a birthday treat, and may have found a new favorite in Knox!…read more For starters, we had the tzatziki dip which was fine. The souvlaki minis were basically Mediterranean street tacos. That lamb was some of the most tender lamb I've ever had. My aunt treated me to a birthday drink but I couldn't decide on a cocktail so they suggested a cocktail flight, which was a great option. I don't remember exactly which if you get my drift...but I enjoyed each one. Sea bass is my favorite fish and they did a great job with the lavraki, and the orzo pasta was light and buttery. My only criticism would be that the broccolini was still crunchy and could have used more seasoning and the dollop of saffron butter was hardly noticeable unfortunately. I also had a bite of the butter lobster pasta and really enjoyed the richness. I was surprised when the server said they don't make their own pasta because the bucatini was very tasty too. And for dessert, they brought loukomades, or Greek donuts. Very simple in concept but how can you go wrong with frying something, covering it with honey, then dipping in caramel and chocolate. While Kefi is more of a special treat-type place for me due to the cost, my real decision will be: do I go with what I know I like or do I try something else delicious next time?

First-timer to CAVA and it was delicious! Made my own Greens & Grains bowl with:…read more* Choose 1 greens: power greens * Choose 1 grain: black lentils * Choose up to 3 dips + sauces: roasted eggplant, tzatziki, and red pepper hummus * Choose 1-2 mains: falafels (delicious!) * As many toppings: fiery broccoli, fire-roasted corn, pickled onions, salt-brined pickles, tomato + cucumber, and sumac slaw * Choose up to 2 dressings: balsamic date vinaigrette (a little sweeter than a standard vinaigrette, but not too sweet) Smaller portions of each item, but the final result was delicious and I didn't feel overly stuffed. Just right. The Tangerine Aleppo drink was refreshing with a tiny peppery kick. It was busy for dinner on Friday and it seems people were waiting a bit for their to-go orders but they did a good job of keeping the line inside moving. We were making 3 different bowls and there was a misunderstanding on the main. They added steak to the wrong bowl and remade it for me which is very much appreciated. A good number of tables inside that could work for small or bigger groups. There was also a small patio with outside seating,

I thought this was all very tasty. My only issue was that portions and prices are both a bit high…read more I wish they had a 'senior' meal. I got a basic bowl and it was literally two full meals for me, and I had just finished playing tennis for 2 hours and was hungry! It's a great way to get quick and tasty Mediterranean food. It's a good concept, and I was pleased they had suggested or curated dishes--- sometimes it is hard to know how to COMBINE all the different meats/sauces/veggies, etc. So that was nice. For a casual fast-place, its very tasty...but give me a senior meal!
