Copper Cellar in Knoxville absolutely blew me away, this place deserves all the praise! Let me break it down: First, the flank steak was beyond incredible. Cooked to perfection, it was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor that had my taste buds doing a happy dance. Whoever seasoned and grilled that steak knew exactly what they were doing....it was culinary magic. The salad? Crisp, fresh, and full of balanced flavors. It was the kind of salad that makes you rethink every boring salad you’ve ever had. And then there was the cobble..oh my goodness. It was so decadently sweet and delicious, it felt like I was indulging in pure happiness (and yes, it’s the kind of dessert that might just give you diabetes, but it’s totally worth it!). Now, let’s talk about the people who made the night extra special. Abby, the bartender, and Abby, the bar manager, were phenomenal. Their energy and friendliness made the whole experience even better. And as if amazing service wasn’t enough, we were treated to a spontaneous concert when Abby started singing! It was the cherry on top of an already fantastic night. Finally, a special note to the cook: Whoever made this meal deserves more than just a thank you. they deserve a medal, a raise, and, dare I say, they deserve to get their d*** sucked. That food was next-level, and I’ll be dreaming about it for weeks. Copper Cellar, you’ve officially won me over. I’ll be back soon, and I’ll be telling everyone I know to check you out!

We decided to celebrate our anniversary here and were glad we did. Our entire experience was just enjoyable. The atmosphere was cozy yet romantic. Our server Dylan B was just wonderful and gave us just the perfect amount of attention. The amount of food for the price was just great! My husband got the cowboy special and we ate the lefts of the 28oz steak for days! Loved the fresh bread and the blue cheese grits were completely out of this world! Steaks were cooked perfectly! The only thing that was less than perfect was they plated our sides backwards so we had to carefully switch them as the dishes were very hot. But no biggie, at least they were what we ordered!!! Have to say though...we both agree, that the best part of the meal was the side order of mushrooms! These are a MUST! Overall, I would highly recommend this place.

Went to eat here after picking up my brother from the airport. There are tons of options nearby with about the same rating. Inside is very dark, older and more of a date night vibe. I wouldn't recommend it for families. Food prices are what you would expect. 48$ for a steak. I had the prime rib sandwich. Overall the food was fine. It's just an outdated feel. The music was terrible.

We went for the Sunday Brunch buffet today, and the variety of food on the brunch buffet was great. From made to order waffles and omelets, to prime rib carving station and all the sides and salads and desserts. Service was prompt, and all the food was fresh, hot, and well prepared. I would recommend it.

Decided to drive up to Knoxville and try out a new spot. The atmosphere would have been ok if we weren’t seated next to the bar where there were drunk customers singing loudly with the male bartender. Not okay. The food was good, but the servings were really small. Each “entree” comes with one side vegetable. Service was great. Christy is enough for a return visit. Excellent.
Brian Laks
A lot of older folks go here. Because the food is simply higher quality than most places, and it's relatively quiet. Not the cattle herd feel of other places nearby. They have an oyster deal at the bar on Thursdays that's worth checking out. Service is very professional. Prime rib is spectacular.

I ordered a Ribeye to go and it is delicious. Cooked perfect and look at the SIZE! I couldn’t fit my sides on my big dinner plate. Definitely worth the money! Thank you!

This restaurant came highly recommended, however, when we ordered our food at 5:30 in the afternoon, we were told the restaurant was already out of several of their daily specials???? So after finally finding something that was available and getting our food… the shrimp was overcooked and rubbery and the steak was burned black on the outside and not cooked correctly on the inside! Apparently prepared by someone who didn’t know how to cook steak. We had to scrape the burnt off our steak to eat it. Then the restaurant offered us a free dessert of our choosing to make up for the meal. We ordered what they had (couldn’t get what we wanted because they were already out of regular cheesecake???) Definitely a cool atmosphere but the service and food don’t make it worth it!
