    Wings?
    Stefan M.

    I'm used to the small wings but these were the smallest I've ever had. The wings were barely glazed with sauce and the blue cheese just wasn't on point.... Something was off. Are they under new management? I've followed from Old city to Powell to Clinton Hwy.... I'll give it another try and see what's up

    Teriyaki wings

    Went to place a to-go order for dinner. The parking lot was a nightmare; lots of deep pot holes. The place was packed for Saturday night football. We spoke to a waitress and ordered 70 wings (40 teriyaki, 10 sweet chili, 10 medium, 10 lemon pepper, 10 garlic parmesan), some fried banana peppers, and some pretzel sticks with cheese. We were 'warned' by the waitress that the wings were very small, and she wasn't lying. The order was done within 5 minutes. When we got home, we discovered they forgot to give us the order of garlic parmesan wings. The wings were very delicious, but dry. The fried banana peppers were very addictive and delicious. The pretzel sticks were good, but the cheese sauce tasted like EXTREMELY watered down nacho cheese. Overall, the service was great, the food was okay. Since they were busy, it can be seen as a mistake that they forgot the parm/gar wings, but as for quality, they could do better.

    When it comes to chicken wings, Wings Express has the right formula. The flavor of the hot sauce is on point and I love the quality of the chicken wings. Many people complain of the smallish size of the wings, because they are not large. However, the taste is great and is still reasonable value for the money. Located on Clinton Hwy, the atmosphere is very casual, with a "locals" vibe. The space is small, but there is outdoor seating on the covered patio and TVs to watch sporting events.

    My first visit to Wings Xpress was not so good, since my two son's and I had to wait longer than normal for our order. Our second visit was much better our order was ready in less than 10 minutes. I must say that they do have the best made to order cheesecake bits and fried apple pie bits with powdered sugar on top. Wings Xpress has the best specials on fresh made to order catfish on Mondays and Fridays for less than $7.00.

    My go to wing, beer, chill joint. Bill has got it down. My ole lady gets mad at me. I try to go eat here everyday of the week. My order : Tall beer. ( ICE COLD) Fried banana peppers 50 wings Hot and BBQ sometimes get a Sauce mix

    This place is terrible. The wings are tiny and dry- hardly any sauce. We ordered 50 for a family of 4- that's a joke in itself. We didn't get any ranch that we asked for and paid extra for, and they left off a drink on our to-go order. With all the other wing joints in Knoxville we won't be back.

    The wings are so small if you are a grown man might want to consider getting 30. Felt like I was eating crawfish. Most of the wings were barely bigger than my pinky.

    50 hot wings

    This is my favorite place to eats wings. They are small but delicious and the prices are good too. I typically get 50 wings and share it with my dad accompanied by french fries. The french fries are in my top 5 favorites.

    By far the hardest bland wings I've had in a long time. Definitely not worth it. Wouldn't recommend at all.

The Devils on Horseback appetizer is an absolute must, the Blue Crab Crispy Rice is incredible, and the Filet Mignon and Faroe Island Salmon are both beautifully done. The Prickly Pair Affair cocktail and Milk and Honey Bathtub drink are both standouts -- light, refreshing, and perfectly crafted. Open until 2:30AM on Friday and Saturday which makes it a great late night option too. Parking downtown can be a hassle but the experience inside is absolutely worth it.

But just about every thing to do with our dinner was low quality The Maitre d (or host mgr) has poor customer service skills. He is the wrong person to be in that position. Sometimes I would suggest to have him train at one of better dinner houses in Knoxville, but his attitude is such I'm not sure he would understand his deficiencies. Overall, he does not treat guests as if they are the lifeline for a restaurant. He made no effort to make us feel he was glad we came to The Kennedy and when we left he made no attempt to thank us or ask how our experience was. If he is not replaced the restaurant will steadily lose customers. The food quality was poor. The salmon on top of Brussel sprouts tasted as if someone in the kitchen poured molasses on top of the Brussel Spouts. Then after it was sent back with the request to re-do the dinner without the sweetener it came back (after a very long delay) with a huge plate of Brussel Sprouts that were completely dried out. It seemed like the people in the kitchen attempted to make up for the poor taste by giving a helping size 3 X as normal. The crab on noodles was a "C" at best. The crab was stringy and the noodles were very bland. If people at coming for drinks and appetizers it probably is a good choice but if someone wants a quality dinner experience I was told by 2 locals who come downtown a lot to eat at Lonesome Dove Brass Pearl JC Holdway (the best chef) Oliver Royale ( we ate here and the food quality and service were exceptional) Osteria Stella Emelia

    I was recommended to check this place out for their burgers, and it definitely didn't disappoint!…read more This place is popular, so be prepared for a wait. They get busy fast, and they won't seat your party until everyone has arrived, so make sure your whole group is there. We had a party of five and started with an order of the fried pickles to share. They were absolutely delicious--crispy, flavorful, and gone within minutes. For drinks, I ordered the Darryl Strawberry since it featured bourbon, and I figured I had to enjoy a bourbon cocktail while in Tennessee. It was surprisingly refreshing, balanced, and so good that I ordered a second one. For my meal, I went with the Classic Bacon Burger, and it was exactly what I was hoping for. It was big, juicy, and loaded with the perfect amount of cheese, tomato, bacon, and pickles. Every bite was delicious. Considering how packed the restaurant was, the service was solid. Our waitress had a great sense of humor and joked around with our table, which made the experience even more fun. Since they were so busy, we didn't see her constantly, but she was friendly and took good care of us whenever she stopped by. If you're looking for a great burger and a fun atmosphere, this spot is definitely worth checking out!

I also ran into a local that recommended I try their duck fat fries. The duck fat fries were delicious and topped with Parmesan and scallions with a creamy aioli for dipping. My burger was monstrous and somehow I ate the WHOLE thing because it was so juicy and yummy I couldn't stop myself. One thing I will say is I wish their seating was a bit more comfortable. They were busy when o came and I had to sit on a high top outside which was a squished table of six of us and very uncomfortable. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting!
