Came here for my birthday to have lunch & it was a wonderful experience!! The fried chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries were amazing I paired it with their honey mustard! We also had the Brussels and cauliflower buffalo bites as appetizers which were a 10/10! I also got an apple crisp cocktail and it was delicious! The atmosphere was awesome and the food was so so good I definitely recommend trying this place out!

Tldr; great food & atmosphere. Interior decorations on point and wonderful spot for a bite. We went for brunch, available on Saturday. 71 hash was delicious and perfectly balanced. Will be coming back! My wife thought the waitresses were beautiful 😅

Awesome spot in South Knoxville. Great beer selection. I had a Country Boy Brewing Shotgun Wedding with my chicken and waffles. Great spot for bikers as it’s right next to Baker Creek Preserve in an old church. Will definitely be back!

It was the perfect place for Valentine’s Day! My fiance and I had a wonderful evening. The mashed potatoes were to die for. Other food was great as well. We will definitely be back!

The food is excellent. The smash burgers are a hit. The Tuscan chicken is delicious. The food was very slow to come out. Our party of 5 was served our meals at different times. The first two meals were served, and then we were told they were out of fries for 2 of the meals. So we had to order substitutions and wait for those to be cooked while two people ate. There were multiple menu items that were not available.

What a fantastic place! The building is beautiful, inside and out. The food was amazing. I had the charbroil portobello which was delicious. The fried egg sandwich and the 71 burger were both great too. The loaded potatoe fries were fabulous. Our waitress Sofie was so polite and attentive. Totally need to check this restaurant out for ourself because it's one of the best.

Quite noisy! I was dining with deaf friends and they were complaining about the noise, no, seriously. However the food was very good, the service was a bit slow at times, but there was a large crowd at one table, though there were some empty table too...probably just need more help? Brandon, our server did his best I'm sure. We were a party of 4, added one to a party of 5 and they were willing to give us a more comparable table. I had the pasta Primavera with mushrooms, very good. Someone ordered the shrimp scampi, a nightly special. Two orders of black bean burger with sweet potato fries and one order of fried egg sandwich. Would probably return, if & when I'm in the area again. Bon appetit

It was a little hard to find at first because we weren't local and we're very confused as to why the GPS brought us to a church. We were camping at Low Meadow Farms and the owner highly recommended this place and it was absolutely delicious! It's upstairs in the old church. The decor was wonderful and the food delicious!
