Well worth a return visit.

I wanted to grab a delicious breakfast this Valentine's Day, and since I was right across at Fisher…read moreTire, I was watching all of the people flooding into Rami's Cafe. At around 11:00 am, I walked over and grabbed a seat at the bar, because all of the other tables and booths were filled with happy diners. On one side of the menu you have your breakfast, and the other has everything you'd want for lunch. I started with my usual cup of coffee, and then opted for the two eggs, toast and bacon. For a place that was packed, my food didn't take very long to come out. Everything was delicious, and I especially loved that they had an option for marble rye toast. Sally, my waitress, was the sweetest. She took great care of me and made sure my first time here was perfect!! I also loved their hanging lights and sweet Valentines decor, which was a nice touch. I will certainly be back, and hats off again to you Sally!!

This isn't a jab at Ruby, I just enjoyed the other 2 better. The staff was very friendly and efficient, my only jab is the seating because I'm 6'3 I felt too big for the chair and I would of liked a booth but the booths are bigger for 4+ parties. The prices are about $2 cheaper than the surrounding averages, the ruby is more than "a try" it's a frequent.

They said it was grease traps that needed cleaning. It smelled like a sewer. We considered leaving but decided to just power through it. Food was very good.

I've had the sandwich salad combo several times ordering the roast beef and the chopped chicken salad. Both are so good. It's nice that they have cocktails and the million dollar bacon is the bomb.

Second trip lacked a little bit to that, with all the bread we were given (biscuit, muffin, etc) being a bit on the overly done side. The wait to get things was a little long...I know crowds sometimes can slow things down, so we took that in stride. Inside both times was clean, although I did have to repair the toilet for myself to ensure it flushed (handle was off), hope that made the day easier for someone else lol. Favorites so far are the hot honey chicken and anything and all things eggs. Anyway, will be back and hoping we just faced a one-off on that day! SYOY!

I can't say no to a crepe so when we saw them on Yelp as a breakfast option I knew it had to be done. It's a fast casual spot so counter service but it's still a lovely experience. The woman who took our order was really nice (and particularly kind after a guy who had previously ordered pushed his way back in front of us because he had forgot to order a coffee). My husband and I both went with the Complete crepe (eggs, ham, and swiss cheese) which also came with a side of fries. We also decided to split a bananas foster crepe for a bit of sweet after our main meals. Everything we sampled was excellent. They also have a few pastries/desserts available and my husband got a croissant to go to nibble on later during our continued travels. The space is SUPER cute. There's plenty of seating and the upstairs area has a really lovely view of the space below. There are a few seats outside but they had filled up by the time we got there. I was really charmed by Knoxville in the short period of time we were there and I'd love to come back and explore more and French Market will definitely be on the list of places to revisit!

In a city known for its Southern charm, mountain views, and deep-rooted sense of community,…read moreKnoxville, Tennessee has no shortage of good food. From barbecue joints to upscale dining, the city offers a wide range of flavors that reflect both tradition and creativity. Yet among all these options, there is one place that quietly stands above the rest for those lucky enough to discover it: Lunchbox Food. More than just a place to eat, Lunchbox Food is a true hidden gem, offering the best hamburgers in Knoxville paired with customer service that is unmatched anywhere around. What immediately sets Lunchbox Food apart is the quality of its food, especially its hamburgers. In a world where many restaurants rely on frozen patties or shortcuts, Lunchbox Food does the opposite. Their burgers are crafted with care, cooked to perfection, and bursting with flavor in every bite. The meat is juicy, well-seasoned, and clearly made with pride. Each burger feels intentional, as if the people behind the grill truly care about delivering the best possible experience to every customer. From the first bite to the last, it is clear that these are not just good burgers--they are exceptional. The toppings and buns only elevate the experience further.

Whether someone prefers a classic cheeseburger or something a little more adventurous, Lunchbox Food consistently delivers a burger that feels both comforting and exciting. It is the kind of food that reminds you why hamburgers are such a beloved staple in American cuisine. However, what truly makes Lunchbox Food special is that it is not just about the food--it is about the people.

The employees clearly take pride in their work, and it shows in every interaction. Orders are handled with care, questions are answered patiently, and there is always a sense that the staff wants you to enjoy your meal and your time there. This level of service turns a simple lunch into an experience. People do not just come back for the burgers--they come back because they feel valued. Lunchbox Food also represents something deeper about Knoxville itself. It embodies the spirit of local businesses that thrive on community support and word-of-mouth rather than flashy advertising. It is the kind of place you hear about from a friend who says, "You have to try this place," and once you do, you understand why. That sense of discovery makes it even more special. Finding Lunchbox Food feels like uncovering a secret that you want to share but also keep close. There is something deeply comforting about knowing that a place like Lunchbox Food exists. In a time when many restaurants feel generic or interchangeable, Lunchbox Food stands out by being authentic. It does not try to be something it is not. Instead, it focuses on doing a few things extremely well: making incredible food and treating people right. That simplicity is part of its magic. The atmosphere adds to the charm as well. Lunchbox Food feels welcoming and relaxed, a place where anyone can walk in and feel at home. Whether you are stopping by on a lunch break, grabbing a bite with friends, or picking up food to go, the experience remains consistent and satisfying. It is dependable in the best way possible. Calling Lunchbox Food a hidden gem is not an exaggeration. It truly deserves far more recognition than it receives, yet there is something special about its understated reputation. Those who know, know. It is the kind of place that builds loyal customers who return again and again, not out of habit, but out of genuine appreciation. In the end, Lunchbox Food is amazing because it gets everything right. The hamburgers are the best in Knoxville--flavorful, satisfying, and unforgettable. The customer service is second to none, rooted in kindness and genuine care. And the overall experience feels personal, authentic, and deeply connected to the community it serves. Lunchbox Food is not just a restaurant; it is a reminder of how powerful good food and good people can be. In Knoxville, Tennessee, it stands as a shining example of why hidden gems are often the most meaningful places of all.

Thankful to have a reservation, we were promptly seated while others with no reservation were being told three hour wait times. I loved the vibe of Tupelo, the hanging lush green plants on the side of the bustling kitchen, the cheerful staff and the lively music. Lizette was our server and she was just a darling. It was our first time here, and she was so helpful with her all of her recommendations. One of Lizette's favorites was the "Peach, don't kill my vibe" sangria. Which I just loved. I nice mix of peach and pineapple in a sangria. For our mains, we had the grilled harvest chicken and the chicken tenders. Both mains came with two sides. With my grilled harvest chicken, I got the mashed potatoes and the braised bacon green beans. The green beans were to die for, even my hubby was saying he should've ordered that as his side. The harvest chicken I loved--especially the sautéed spinach, red peppers and tomatoes on top. But if you can't handle spicy, this dish does have some heat to it. And we ended my birthday celebration with the heavenly banana pudding. It was heavenly in every way. Made in house, and so delicious that even my hubby ate it and he never cares for this dessert. If I could've licked that little bowl, I would've. We already cannot wait to come back and try some of the brunch items on their menu. We loved everything about Tupelo and hats off to Lizette for making our night even more special!!
