When I think of hotel restaurants, I usually think of a good atmosphere with subpar drinks. This is not your typical hotel restaurant. The food was amazing. The burger (even gluten free with no bun) was amazing and the fried chicken was crafted by someone who seriously loves food. On top of that, the drinks far surpassed the cocktail menu at any restaurant in town I’ve been to. Don’t hesitate. Good food, good drinks. Even had live music.

Schwarma was the best I had at a Mediterranean restaurant and our server was knowledgeable about what I should avoid on the menu for my gluten intolerance.

My husband and I made reservations ahead of time and were welcomed and seated right away with a smile. Our server gave her recommendations right away and was very knowledgeable of the menu. I have a gluten free allergy and she recommended the salmon with potatoes to me and it was the best salmon I’ve ever had. My husband ordered the Philly Cheese Sourdough Pizza and the pizza was loaded with toppings and had a nice crunch to it. My husband ordered hot honey ranch on the side and that sauce elevated his dinner even further. We both highly recommend The Kennedy for a nice night out.

If you’re looking for the best tacos in downtown Knoxville, you have to come here. Compared to Chivo and soccer taco, this is the best. We really love the fish tacos, dip trio and the Cuban. Portion sizes are really good. Our vegetarian friends love the black bean burger. I even have gluten-free friends that can enjoy a meal here. Their margaritas are the best downtown. I highly recommend the blood orange margarita. The atmosphere is quirky and fun, which matches their neon sign, paying homage to the name. It’s always lively, and there are some days you can catch live music. Prices are fair and good for what you’re getting. Portion size is filling. Since they’ve come under new ownership a few years ago, it has greatly improved. Previously, I would not go here. But now it’s become one of my favorites. I have even brought out of town clients here for dinner who have enjoyed it. It is a laid-back atmosphere. The service has always been excellent, and the staff has always been attentive. You can tell that people enjoy it there. I do recommend getting a reservation here if you are looking for outdoor seating or having a large party 6+, especially during their busy time at dinner. The patio feels quickly in the warmer months, so if you want that space get a reservation. Their back door leads to Marble Alley’s upstairs bar, which is a great place to go after you’ve had your fill for games, or to enjoy the bowling alley.
