Top 10 Knoxville Restaurants

#4. Calhoun's on the River

Calhoun's on the River is one of Knoxville's favorite gathering places for a great dining experience, especially during UT football season.

Location plays a major role in Calhoun's on the River's popularity. Situated right on the Tennessee River at Volunteer Landing, the restaurant has lower and upper outdoor seating areas so that you can enjoy scenic views. A boat dock is adjacent to Calhoun's. During football season, it is filled with boats and yachts of all sizes. Also included in the scenery are the riverboats as they travel down the river as they transport passengers on a tour of Knoxville.

Calhoun's serves up the best homemade biscuits in town along with cornbread, garlic bread, and sometimes honey wheat muffins -- all served with every meal.

A salad alone satisfies the palate, but they have lots of menu items that will make your meal very pleasurable.
