15 Local Restaurants in Knoxville, TN You’ll Want to “Knox” Off Your Bucket List

While you’re taking a drive through any city or suburb in the country it may be easy to think that chain restaurants are rapidly pushing independently owned restaurants out of the market. However, there are over 150,000 single-location independent establishments as of this year, and that’s not even counting local chains!

Unlike commercialized chain restaurants, spending money at independently owned establishments often means that your money has a greater benefit to the local community. It’s also a great way to try locally-inspired or otherwise unique cuisine that you might not find at your standard chain restaurant.

Whether you’re planning a visit, or live locally, there is no shortage of amazing local restaurants in Knoxville, TN to try and we’ve got a list ready for you and your loved ones to enjoy.
