Always my favorite restaurant. I will miss this place so much. A true nod to classic southern recipes and support of regional producers.
Upon arrival, the indoor seating, though only about half full, was extremely noisy. So, we chose to be seated outdoors even though it was quite humid. However, even the outdoor seating turned out to be quite loud. The service was awful from beginning to end. Our waitress said she had been there for over a year but was unable to bring our drinks out until we had already finished our appetizers. The entrees were then rushed out before we finished our cocktails, and we had to remind the waitress to bring our wine half way through the meal. Worst of all, there were never any explanations or apologies offered for this bad service. The food was mediocre at best. The smoked trout appetizer was okay, but My husbandâs trout entree was over cooked, and my vegetarian entree was barely edible with portobello mushroom pieces that were hard as rocks! The Embassy Suites is a nice hotel in Knoxville, but this restaurant definitely needs major work!!!
Delicious as always! Sad that it is closing. Hopefully they will be able to reopen one day.
Everything was just ok. Not bad, but ok. Best part was the chicken wings app. Shrimp and grits tasted classic, but not memorable. Steak was perfectly cooked to med rare, but chewy. Macaroni was very bland. No problem recommending, but Iâd recommend other places before. You can do better for the money.
Great food and location. So sad that they are closing.
Great food service was good. It’s nice that it’s inside the hotel. Their menu is small but very good. The only con I have is that the acoustics in the place was bad I couldn’t hear across my table because of obnoxious laughter on one side of the restaurant
We were in town for the night and visited Knox Mason as they could accommodate our group of 8 and the menu looked good. We started with the deviled eggs, which were great. Unfortunately both steaks were undercooked, most of our food came out cold, and the fried chicken sandwich was still partially raw. Service and drinks were ok. Overall a disappointing experience.
Looking for a restaurant in Knoxville that had southern inspired cuisine and discovered Knox Mason thru Open Table. Luckily, they had a reservation for two available at a reasonable time on a Saturday evening, so Iade a reservation. Our experience was wonderful. Great and unique cocktails, delicious appetizers, I recommend the pimento cheese and deviled eggs!! The main course selection was modest but included chicken, pork, fish, beef and vegetarian. The grilled pork shoulder steak was devine and their daily special, a corn meal breaded, deep fried pork chop was excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed the food, drinks and service at the restaurant that's in the Embassy Suites on Gay Street.
Our waitress was nice. She did forget our appetizers, but got them out quickly when it was mentioned. All of the food was excellent!! We had the catfish sandwiches, pork and chicken. We also loved the deviled eggs and pimento cheese. Hate that theyâre closing soon.
Good and service were great I would recommend Knox Mason to a friend for sure
