I hadn't been to Scott's Place in a while, because they were always 'cash only'... (who carries cash anymore??? lol) but yesterday, I truly had an old fashioned Tennessee hankerin' for a GOOD BURGER. (I almost stopped on the way home for work) There is only one spot within a couple of miles of my house and work, that makes a really GOOD BURGER and that is Scott's Place! When I got home I went online and was thrilled to learn thru DoorDash, you can order a pick-up with a credit card. I was not dissapointed. Fast and friendly service. I ordered the Big C with Cheese and standard French Fries. Delicious and so satisfying! Thank you! I'll be back again soon! read more

I stop every time I am in Knoxville. This place is the most amazing food for great price and quality..

Amazing hamburger, that seat speaks volumes for itself! This is now the best burger in Knoxville since Knoxville Billiards Club shut down. Definitely recommend the onion rings over the fries though! One of the few old school restaurants with a classic feel and nice folks to back it up. read more

Scott's Place - The Big c Hamburger With cheese & Fries - Delis Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

I agree with everyone else. Really good. I had the small cheeseburger and onion rings. I am going to call this one of the best burgers I have had in a while. Really enjoyed it. They charge more for fountain drinks than out of the bottle but that is a small thing. I will definitely be back. read more

Incredible food, service, and prices. I've lived nearby for over 4 years and just started coming in the last year. The burgers are phenomenal, curly fries, and fried pickles are also delicious. The milkshakes are next on my list. Eat here! read more

Food has changed some since my last visit. I'll have to go back and try it on another day. Service is always good. read more

What a little burger gem! I've lived in this area for 6 years. This is the first time I've tried. Scott's. It's a small, nondescript place. Seating, due to distancing, allows about 5 tables to be utilized. The staff all wear masks and gloves. Refills on drinks are not allowed, due to covid. I ordered the Big C bacon cheeseburger and tater tots. The burger was almost as big as the plate! It was, hands down, the best burger I've had in a restaurant in years. It was full of flavor and 3 napkins juicy. The tater tots were delicious and cooked perfectly. This will be my go to burger place, from now on. read more

Scott's Place is an East Knoxville gem. The food is quite good, however, the restaurant is quite difficult to review, for reasons that I will explain. Scott's is located in an old Kay's Ice cream building, just off Asheville highway. It's just off of I-40 and only a couple of miles from the zoo. The mostly serve hamburgers and sandwiches, although they do sell several flavors of premium ice cream. The interior is quite small...probably limited to 10 tables and booths. It's poorly ventilated and quite warm inside, almost to the point of being uncomfortable. The food is quite excellent. Their hamburgers are all cooked on a well-seasoned flat top and are of generously portioned. They even serve a full 1 pound burger, for those with the hardiest of appetites. When I visited, I ordered a cheeseburger with tater tots and the tater tots were the best I had ever had. They were perfectly fried and salted and they tasted very fresh. The cheeseburger was perfectly cooked, although slightly under seasoned. Overall, it was fell somewhere between a Sonic style cheeseburger and a cheeseburger that you would order at a nice restaurant. The buns are so fresh! They are prominently displayed on racks with the same day's date, clearly stamped on. My dining experience was pleasant but there are some things you need to know if you are planning on eating here. They have a very small flat-top and everything is made to order so be prepared to wait. It took about 20 minutes to finish my order because a couple of people were ahead of me and, again, they have a very small flat-top. The dining area is also quite small and was uncomfortably hot when I visited but I think it's partially due to the heat from the grill and fryers. If you're in the area and are considering a feast food burger, try Scott's instead. If you don't mind an extended wait time, then you will definitely enjoy their food! read more

Excellent food, reasonably priced. Retro Kay's building is neat. Service is kinda slow plus they are still doing the mask thing as of July 21 - so you often end up sitting there for quite a while breathing your own air. Main cashier can't multi task so you often stand at the register for a while watching your order getting cold while she takes other parties orders all the way through the ringing up process. I've been known to stand there while a family of four stared at the menu for several minutes only to be handed the bag that had been sitting there ready to go the whole time... read more

This food is absolutely delicious... For relatively fast food. I had a cheeseburger and tater tot's, the tater tot's are certainly some of the best I've ever had. And the cheeseburger was absolutely awesome, more comparative to a burger you would get in a more high-end restaurant... The wait was a little bit, maybe 15 minutes or so... But it was well worth the wait. read more

A charming little burger and ice cream shop, Scott's is a little known East-Knoxville secret. My family loves this place - we've been coming here almost weekly for years. It's cheap and simple - just as it should be. The burgers, tater tots, fries and ice cream all fit the bill for a good little dive joint. The people behind the counter really complete the experience - bringing that friendly neighborhood charm we all know and love. read more

In my endless search for BIG FOOD, I was once again tipped off to a tiny little place that serves a BIG burger. Today, I made my way into old knoxville in search of the Scotts Place home of the "BIG C" a loaded one pound hamburger. I found Scotts located in the old kays ice cream spot on Asheville Highway. I walked in just before noon. It was empty, just a couple good ole boys sitting table. Pretty sure they are permanent fixtures. They were the first to greet me. I made my way to the counter, greeted again and glanced across the menu finding the BIG C at the top of it. I have a theory that any place that still uses an old Coca Cola peg board menu is gonna serve you something tasty. (This theory has failed few amd far between) I ordered my BIG C with cheese and another one for good measure pairing them with tots and a mint shake, I had my lunch. It was quick to the table but worth the wait! As I sat there the line began to make its way to the door the closer it got to lunch. As my food finally made it to the table I could then see why they were so busy! Another knoxville hidden gem unearthed in Scotts. Not to be missed if passing through and on my list of places to share as we have guest from out of town. If your in the mood for greasy, fresh made, cooked to order diner/deli style food or in like your Burgers HUGE. DONT PASS SCOTTS CAUSE THEY'VE GOT IT! read more

It's a crime that Scott's never shows up on the "Best burger in Knoxville" lists. This is what a burger joint is supposed to be. Fresh cooked, unpretentious, uncomplicated- perfect! Burger is patted out from fresh beef when you order. Be prepared to wait a while as they get a perfect seer on the beef, and fry up your French fries or onion rings on the spot. I'd take it over stock and barrel or Litton's any day of the week (and I'd spend half as much!) Add a hand scooped milk shake, and you've basically traveled back in time! One of East Knoxville's many amazing eateries that don't get the traffic they deserve! read more

Stopped here on the way home from a weekend in Asheville, and were not disappointed! The cheeseburgers my daughter and I ordered were delicious! Toasted and buttered bun, well-seasoned homemade patty, and hot and crispy tater tots...it was so worth the wait! We noticed that most of the customers were call-in orders. They were undoubtedly regulars, and we certainly know why...it was one of the best burgers I've had in forever. Will certainly stop by the next chance I get! read more

Pretty good ice cream on a big cone. Got two cones with single giant scoops on them for $5. Not too far from the hood, but that usually means that it is locally owned which this place indeed is. Support one of the only locally owned Ice Cream and Burger joints in East Knoxville! read more

Scott's Place - Menu board - Delis Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

If you're wanting a tasty burger, check this place out. It has the hole in the wall feel down to a science if you're into that kind of thing. If you're not, go anyway because the Scott's Burger is well worth it. It is well seasoned, juicy and massive. It really is enough to save some for later but if you're feeling adventurous, go ahead and polish it off. I've not tried other menu items as of yet but I know the burgers are great. The bun has a crisp to it and everything tastes fresh. I'm almost certain this has to be a hand patted burger. The location can be kind of tricky for people not familiar to the area but Google maps gets you here pretty easily. The parking is what seems to throw people off. Close by the Burlington Branch of the Knoxville library and Kroger's. read more

Best burger not only in Knoxville but best I have ever had. Big C Cheeseburger. You won't need anything else. Honestly, the best there is.

My husband and I were looking for somewhere to eat in the area and found this place on yelp. I agree with the great reviews. It is a very cute mom and pop restaurant. Felt like I was going back in time to an old fashioned burger joint. The burgers are flavorful, juicy, and come with a deliciously toasted bun. It took a little time for them get our order ready but it was worth the wait. Will be going back again. read more

I call at 6:30 to place an order... No answer. So I thought they are probably just busy because it's after the game on a Saturday. So I drive down and arrive at 6:40... Sign on the outside clearly states open until 7. So why is your door locked at 6:40?! YOU set the hours so if you want to be open until 6:30 then make it 6:30! I like supporting local businesses but there are plenty of better burgers around Knoxville that I can spend my money on. read more

This is the place you used to go after a little league game. Nostalgia in every bite. I haven't tried it yet, but they also have turkey burgers. They have chicken, fish or shrimp plates that are great. I had the fried okra and mozzarella sticks today. Both were better than average! read more

This place was delicious! We ordered cheeseburgers and tater tots as well as fried mushrooms. A cute little hole in the wall place with yummy food and good service! read more

Called and placed an order for lunch. They said it would be 15-20 minutes before it was ready. When I get there, there's a sign on the door that says cash only! NOTHING was said on the phone when I ordered about not accepting cards. I don't carry cash on me (like the majority of the population nowadays). I only have my bank card which I use a credit and not debit so I don't have a PIN number to use at ATMs. Therefore, I wasted 20 minutes of my hour lunch break and had to rush to another restaurant and inhale my food... I think it's ridiculous that a restaurant doesn't have a credit card reader, even if it's a hole in the wall! read more
