    A friend brought some food from Rafferty's on a picnic we did recently, and I was fairly impressed with their food. Enough so that we went there recently to share dinner. We ate family style and very much enjoyed the meal, ordering some chicken tenders, BBQ, a couple of sides and some sandwiches. Everything we tried was tasty. Service was fast and friendly and the prices were. Reasonable. I'd come back for sure!

    Catch of the Day* Tilapia and Baked Potato

    If you are looking for the best salad ever to accompany your meal then you have found the perfect place. Although their salads are fantastic, it is the hot bacon dressing that puts it over the top! Fish was a little dry and steak was slight;y over cooked which was disappointing. Otherwise service was good. Still one of my favorite places to eat lunch or dinner.

    This place brings back memories of when I was in College and lack in Knoxville. The food is was good but not as I remembered it. The drinks though- worth every zip! The server was awesome and the food was timely. Worth the stop. Being a Friday it's was busy but the wait was not bad. Come and swing by for some casual dining and good (large) drinks!

    We had the best service from Colton on our visit. He was so incredibly helpful, engaging and kind! Thank you for making our visit sweet!! I had the bbq burger with loaded mashed potatoes, the food was pretty good, I enjoyed the mashed potatoEd and the burger was cooked perfectly.

    Kona Chicken with a Side of Baked Sweet Potato

    The food here? Nothing special. I asked the waiter if the Kona chicken was good, he said he never tried it, but that people who order it tend to like it. I'm sure they were saying that go be nice... it was frankly just alright. It's ham and cheese with a pineapple ring on chicken. Pineapple ring was good! Even the sweet potato side with cinnamon butter was just okay. I kinda wanted it to be sweeter! What I liked about this place was the service, everyone here was very friendly! I needed to charge my phone while I was there and when I asked for a table near an outlet they were able to provide me with one. It was in a high traffic area however, so it kept getting knocked out of the wall- but the waitstaff would walk by and plug it back in! Very nice of them. Without it, I wouldn't have been able to get back to where I was staying in Nashville. I was there for a while catching up with my friend, and I never felt rushed to leave. I also liked the ambiance, it was a great place to meet a friend I hadn't seen in a while! Kinda dark, restaurant was separated into different sections so there was a sense of privacy, and clean bathrooms. There was also a big parking lot, but it was pretty busy! I probably wouldn't go back, but I enjoyed the time spent here.

    Best Batter-Fried Mushrooms
    Chrystal M.

    We like to sit in a booth at the bar, it's cozy. The bartender was our server, she was very friendly to us, but definitely friends with another group of people. That's my reason for 4 stars. She was too busy and loud talking to the booth behind us. The Creek Smash drink was very good if your looking for something a little different in a bourbon cocktail. The side salads here cannot be beat! Every dressing is homemade and salad ingredients are fresh. This was the first time we ordered the fried mushrooms. I had no idea they used fresh mushrooms with a light crispy coating...delicious! The dipping sauce has a kick to it and we loved it. Prime rib is consistently great here wether it's the sandwich or the meat alone. The side of fruit comes with a tasty dipping sauce. And of course the fries are the best.

    Banana cream pie
    Jake M.

    The food was delicious! The chicken tenders were great with the homemade buffalo sauce. My dad got the prime rib and said it was the best meal he's had in a while! Our server Clay was great, always had drinks and dirty dishes off the tables. Real good talker too for you chatter boxes! PS: that banana cream pie was so good I'm hoping I throw it up later so I can taste it again

    2- chicken tender platters with a bowl of potato soup and a house salad
    Jeremy R.

    Haven't eaten here in many years. My wife and I used to eat at the Knoxville TN location before it was closed. We were passing through and noticed this old favorite and we were not let down. The restaurant was super clean and the wait was rather short. The service was prompt and the food was great. We ordered the chicken tender dinner meal and as you can see from my photos the portion size is huge. I also included a picture of how much was left that we had to bring home. I am glad we found this old favorite of ours and we will be coming back soon!

    The food is bland. Waited 30 minutes to be seated and then get our drinks on a slow night. The decor could be better.
