The…read morefood was absolutely delicious, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere made the celebration even more special. One thing we really appreciated is that if it's your birthday, they give you a 25% discount, which was a great surprise and made the occasion even better. Our whole family had a wonderful time. Our 6-month-old daughter, Genesis, had a blast chewing on the ribs, and our one-year-old son, Titus, ate everything on his plate and clearly loved every bite! Thank you to everyone at Austin's Steak House for helping make my wife's birthday so memorable. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and outstanding service!

We're in Knoxville this week for a conference and had been staying downtown, mostly walking or…read moretaking shuttles everywhere. Tonight, we needed to run to the store, and while driving away from the city we actually commented on how there didn't seem to be many restaurants around. A few minutes later, we spotted Ye Olde Steak House sitting off the road on the left and immediately thought, "That place has character." After shopping, we decided to head back and give it a try...and I am SO glad we did. Walking inside felt like stepping into an old rustic cabin full of warmth and history. We were greeted by a gentleman in an apron who welcomed us with a smile and joked, "Well, I don't typically seat people, but let's give it a try." He laughed, found our server, Kendall, and got us settled at a table. From the moment we sat down, the atmosphere felt homey, genuine, and completely unpretentious in the best possible way. The gentleman chatted with us for a moment and mentioned he had worked there for 57 years. When we looked at the menu and read the story on the front, everything clicked...this place is truly a Knoxville institution that has perfected its craft over generations. The menu was refreshingly simple: appetizers, sandwiches, sides, steaks, prime rib, chicken, shrimp, combos, specialties and desserts. No gimmicks. Just great food done right. Kendall was our server, and she was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. So kind, genuine, attentive, and full of great recommendations. We started with the charbroiled shrimp she suggested, and WOW...incredible flavor. Served with drawn butter, but honestly didn't even need it. We could have easily ordered a second round. The salads were old-school perfection: fresh iceberg lettuce, tomato, purple onion, carrots...exactly the kind of starter salad I love. We added bacon and cheese, and the homemade ranch was fantastic. Then came the star of the show: our filets. As a native Texan, I do not take steak lightly. We are surrounded by incredible steakhouses and barbecue back home, so I came in ready to judge. The gentleman who was cooking actually brought the steaks out himself and asked us to cut into them to ensure they were cooked properly. Y'all...this steak was fantastic. Tender like butter. Perfectly cooked. Honestly a great steak...sure kicked the pants off some of those high-end steakhouses that charge triple the price. My baked potato was perfectly cooked and a decent sized potato too. And I have to mention the little touches too...the club crackers and cheese spread they bring to the table when you arrive were an unexpected surprise. I'm not a big bread person so I enjoyed that difference. One of my favorite parts of the evening was simply watching the dining room around us. Prime rib plates were flying out nonstop, and at one point the woman behind us gave her husband a bite of hers. He closed his eyes and said, "Oh my gosh, that is amazing!" You could literally see the joy on his face. Safe to say when I return to Knoxville, I WILL be ordering the prime rib. As the night went on, we realized the gentleman who originally seated us was actually the owner, David. He came back by to check on our meal, and later we saw him bussing tables and helping everywhere he could. When we asked if he does it all, he simply smiled and said one of his servers was out sick and he wanted to help. Kendall later confirmed he's the owner and told us, "He's the kindest man. He does everything...cuts meat, seats tables, helps cook, cleans up... whatever is needed." She also said she truly loves working for him, and honestly, you can feel that culture throughout the restaurant. This isn't a flashy, fancy steakhouse...it's something different. It's authentic. Family-owned. Generational. A place built on hard work, hospitality, consistency, and genuinely outstanding food. If you're visiting Knoxville or even just passing through, look this place up and make the stop. Thank you to David, Kendall, and the entire team for such an unexpectedly amazing dining experience. We'll absolutely be back.

We have been going to Copper Celler probably for as long as they have been in business. I think…read moreit's pretty safe to say that not only has it been one of my parents, favorite restaurants throughout my life, I've always enjoyed it too. We were disappointed when they closed their original location, but we have tried to be supportive of this location, and my mom has always liked cappuccino. It's a cool idea to have two restaurants and one with two different menus. We had a disappointing experience. The restaurant was not particularly busy looking, so it was odd that it shook so long for our wine and drinks to come out. We ordered salads, specifying. We wanted them as soon as they were ready, and then we ordered entrées at the same time. Our salads came out, which took more time than seemed necessary, and before we could even start eating them, our entrees came out. The runner who brought her entrées, seemed confused as to why we weren't ready for our entrées. As we didn't have enough room on the table, we asked them to take our entrées back until we finished our salads. Our server, who seemed very pleasant, never came to check on us until after our entrees were brought out a second time & never mentioned the error with the pacing. Our fish was on the dry side, which could probably be attributed to the fact that it went back to the kitchen and sat under a warming lamp. We had a great time, because why would we let dinner spoil our evening, and we'll be back because I believe in supporting copper cellar, but I don't know that first time guests, or non-loyal guests would be willing to overlook an expensive meal that wasn't treated like it was expensive by the kitchen or wait staff. Hopefully, it was just a bad night, as every restaurant has them.

The restaurant is tucked into a nice wooded area near the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. There is outdoor seating available, a firepit area with make your own smores, and indoor seating which is where we dined. We were greeted as soon as we entered and waited at the bar where Ian served us (he was great) until our reservation time (doubt we could have got in without the reservation). The bar had a huge selection of bourbon including many allocated bottles. My wife had a spicy margarita which she loved. We were promptly seated at our reservation time. Our server, David, brought us some of their famous cornbread it reminded me of couple of pieces of cake except it was cornbread with a delicious sorghum syrup and whipped butter. It was unique and delicious. We started with trio of dips - sharp cheddar pimento cheese, butter bean hummus, and my favorite smoked salmon rillette. These were served with sea salt crackers and pickled vegetables. It was all tasty and the smoke salmon had so much flavor. I had delicious thick cut pork chop topped with peach and jalapeno jam. It was cooked perfectly, tender and juicy and the topping added a fantastic spicy tang. The sides were charred baby carrots, green beans, a spoonbread with red-eye gravy and red pepper emulsion. My wife had a filet with bearnaise sauce and Yukon potatoes with cauliflower, sweet peppers, mushrooms and braised onions. It was cooked exactly as ordered with such a great taste and so tender. David brought my with a complementary piece of pie made with Cruze Farm buttermilk topped with berries and a lemon drizzle. It was a fantastic experience and we were so happy with everything. Everything was pricey for the area, but well worth it for what we received.

You're tucked away in the forest with the most peaceful ambiance in the evening! The waiter introduced the menu to us and mentioned that the ingredients were all mostly locally sourced and or grown in their garden when you first turn onto the driveway. So great to know exactly where your food is coming from! For the starter, I shared the crab corn chowder - and the waiter was kind enough to split the soup into two bowls with my partner. This was a perfect starter! Creamy, a little smokey, and not too heavy like your typical chowder. Lacking in the crab department, but it's as you would suspect with anything advertising 'containing crab' at a restaurant. We were also given complimentary corn bread and it was delicious. Such a nice surprise and I definitely preferred having the cornbread over regular bread! The service was a little slow, especially to bring the appetizer and bread out, but I wasn't too bothered since it didn't seem like we were rushed to finish our meal. I ordered the filet mignon (med rare) as my main. The flavors were spot on! My filet was a bit tougher than other filets I've had in the past... it was difficult to cut into. I also wished there was more of the red wine sauce to balance the richness of all the accompanying flavors and textures. All in all, this spot was a special treat tucked away in Townsend and I'm glad I didn't have to drive too far for a well-crafted menu and food scene!

We both had the full experience- all meats, salad bar, sides and a dessert. You have a two-sided coaster (green/red) and you flip green up if you want a server to bring you more meat. So many amazing choices- picanha, filet mignon wrapped in bacon, top or bottom sirloin, lamb, chicken legs, pork sausages, and it wasn't on the menu but a really delicious teriyaki chicken. They will cut the meat from a skewer at your table and you may enjoy all you want. I skipped some of the choices and had extra of a few. My favorites were the top sirloin, picanha and the lamb. Everything was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The salad bar had a great selection with everything being fresh and a server always checking it. The manager checked with us and this was one of the best parts of the experience. We truly felt like valued customers and he ensured we had anything we wanted. This restaurant may have had the best service we have ever experienced. Finished the evening with a slice of key lime pie and my wife had the chocolate eruption cake. Both were delicious and we plan on going back soon.

I was driving through Knoxville around dinner time. I was coming from East Tennessee going to…read moreNashville and I hadn't eaten all day. I was craving a steak and knew about Brazeiros when they first opened many many years ago. I thought, since I was starving, it would be a huge opportunity for me to take advantage of the all you can eat meats. There was one problem, I was dressed in athletic shorts and a shirt. I know there isn't a dress code per se, but I didn't want to cause issues either looking like a bum on a Saturday night. I called them in advance, otherwise I would have time to Texas Roadhouse. The hostess was very nice and told me not to worry. That's exactly what I wanted to hear! I got sat immediately and I went to work. Flipping my coaster to green, I ate non-stop meats (mostly picanha, since that's my favorite). I do like how they have salt shakers and pepper at the table. Granted some of the complaints for Brazilian steakhouses is that it's too salty. Brazeiros wasn't salty enough but having the option to add my salt and pepper to every sliced meat was great. I also like how they have the grilled pineapple, which is something not all churrascarias do. I ate continuously for an hour and a half and then went on my merry way back to Nashville! Highly recommend this place if you're in the area! The staff is so kind and accommodating!
