Came for a light meal later in the evening. We enjoyed the food. A UT football game was going on so the bar was really crowded. This new location has more space and is nicer but the menu hasn’t changed. Food is still good

I stop here often, the staff is fast and friendly, always consistent, great fresh and hot coffee every time. You you never had a cup of this coffee, then you need to try this location.

Reviewed By JymResciniti - Knoxville, Tennessee
Everything is huge here. My son said “this hamburger is bigger than my head”. The food was all good; even the desserts were over-the-top. We don’t feel like we spent as much as we should have is that something you don’t say much about a restaurant.
4. The Front Porch

Located in the 1910 Historic Gill/Herrell House, The Front Porch offers unique southern dining in a relaxing atmosphere. Step back in time in this beautifully preserved treasure and enjoy a delicious lunch, dinner, and freshly baked pastries. Gift and home decor shop located upstairs.

5. Life House Coffee

We were finished with our appointment in Powell, TN and decided to have lunch at Life House. I ordered an iced tea and the Italian Sandwich consisting of salami, pepperoni, prosciutto, peppers, cheese, onion, lettuce, tomato and mustard on toasted ciabatta bread. The sandwich was very good. The ice and tea dispensers were not at the self serve drink counter, so I had to ask the counter worker each time I wanted a refill. The sandwich came with chips. Since I don't eat them, I snagged a bag for my daughter. My wife loves the coffee here, so there is no doubt we will return.

This is one of the best sandwich shops around, everything is fresh made to order with quick service, and the pricing is very reasonable. Every time I go in I cannot help but get the large sandwich and end up eating every bit of it, the sandwiches are just that good, my favorite is the roast beef, but all the sandwiches are great. Looking forward to my next visit.
7. Lulu's Tea Room
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 57 reviews
Reviewed By Mammmmmm - Knoxville, Tennessee
My sister wanted to treat me to something unique for my birthday and neither of us had been to Lulu's before but we'd heard good things. The problem was that our table was in the reception/cashier/gift shop/waiting area - we felt like we were eating lunch in a lobby! Frankly I think the decision to put two tables in this area was a bad one. Very disappointing that we weren't able to enjoy the decor and tea house ambiance.
The food was very good and the staff was friendly but not terribly attentive. We will probably give Lulu another try but next time we won't sit in the Lobby.

I've been around a while and it's rare to see what great service and delicious food are anymore. Especially at a fast food place. But we have a real treasure happening out on Emory Road. Do yourself a favor! Get up and Get Down to this place just as fast as you can when the hunger thoughts invade. Well worth it indeed!

Reviewed By Linda B - Waterloo, Canada
We stopped in after a long day of driving, so we wanted something fast and good. We got both, service was friendly and burgers delicious. Not their small burger is 4oz, so plenty of meat, their regular size burger was 2 four oz patties, so be careful what you want.
