So good! I found this Place mentioned In a post in “gluten free in Knoxville” Facebook group and had to make a visit. One of the best gluten free buns I’ve had. The fries were yummy as well and fried in a much better oil than most place. Owner was super kind and a great guy! I will definitely be back!

Love me a crepe when I can get it gluten-free! Great atmosphere and coffee beverages too.

So glad I found this place! Their gluten free pizza crust was absolutely delicious. Nice texture and the topping are good quality. The hand tossed crust is also great. This is definitely where to go when you want an authentic, old fashioned pizza place. Service was friendly and attentive and our food came out fast. Absolutely recommend to gluten free or allergen concerned folk and anyone who just wants a good, classic pizza.

I love this place. And maybe my review will change next time I visit. The cashier rolled her eyes when my aunt who has celiac asked about menu items. I had told her how friendly this place was. Oops. Then it just seemed like no one was happy that day. Food was okay. Off day I guess. I will go back because I know it's a good place to eat.

Fantastic food and friendly staff. I have a gluten allergy, and before they served us, they realized they added potatoes that were cooked in a fryer with food containing gluten. They apologize and re-cooked a complete new meal. They could have simply removed the contaminated food, but we're kind enough to make sure it was safe. It's definitely one of our favorite Knoxville restaurants.

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.

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.

The food wasn’t very good, but the jazz on Monday night was nice. Get here maybe just 5-10 mins early for the jazz. The band doesn’t arrive until right before they start. The kale artichoke dip was tasty, and the accommodated my gluten allergy by cutting up some veggies for it. The salmon and lentils weren’t great. The desserts were terrible — skip them.

Literally the best service I’ve ever had in my life. Gordon went above and beyond to fix my Uber eats order which was not by any means the restaurants fault, but he hooked me up with everything gluten free and was sweeter than I could have ever asked for. Uber eats owes them a huge one. Thank you Gordon and team at Nama!!

Pretty good place to have crepes. My daughter has already been there for the bobba tea and wanted me to try it. We got the Oreo flavor one. I think this type of drink is great for young people or someone that is able to drink something this sweet and full of tapioca pearls every time you sip. I ordered the gluten free roast beef crepe with ginger sauce. My daughter ordered the regular crepe with chicken, I cannot recall which sauce on theirs. They use spring mix salad with some shredded carrots as the base with your choice of meat. The gluten free crepe dough was really good compared to the regular. I have a preference to have my crepes salty, but this one was still tasteful. With the ginger sauce I was hoping to taste the ginger, but I could not. The place was clean and pretty. Overall, a good experience.

Emily Marsh

What a fun atmosphere! I ordered the wedge salad, it didn't disappoint. The menu offers vegan and gluten free options, too.
