Nowhere else in Knoxville can you get 40 taps and pizzeria-style pizza. Beer selection is incredible. Atmosphere is ethereal. Pizza is one of the top 3, if not THE best in Knoxville. Beer + pizza = crazy good times.
I will not be completely one-sided though. I gave it four stars instead of five for two small reasons. One and a half, really. The main reason is, outside of pizza, the food is kind of blah. I did go recently and discovered that they had a great nacho appetizer, but my opinion about the menu as a whole remains the same. Nothing remarkable about it. They also eliminated the option to purchase a single slice during dinner hours. That was lame.
The other is rather minor. I consistently find myself waiting at length for my order. Let me clarify this because I believe it's the kitchen that's slow, not the servers whom I usually find to be quite attentive even while covering a large area. This is usually not a big deal because the reason I usually go is to chat and have a good time with several others. The atmosphere almost makes up for the long wait. But sometimes I am just downright hungry and if I'm not having the beer, I really miss the pizza even more.
There is usually good entertainment late at night, and I like to go when I can afford to stay up. During the summer (when school's out) you can usually see a great performance without getting crowded out. It tends to be a little loud though. I would prefer the music be in the background instead of the place turning into an auditorium at 10:00. But the place books great talent, and you can't complain about that. After all, you can always go upstairs where there's no cover and the noise gets drowned out a little bit. It's quieter up there but there's less seating.

What I like most about Old College Inn is that it is completely dark inside. You can't really see details of the person across the table from you - even in the middle of the day. I like to go here and eat and have a few mid-day beers when I don't feel like seeing anyone I know.
They have super good beer specials in the afternoon - usually dollar draft beers- and their medu is pretty sweet, too.
They have fried everything you can think of, sandwishes, pastas, great apppetizers, soups, sandwiches of all sorts and fantastic onion rings and french fries by the huge basket full.

Baker Peters Jazz Club is a terrific place for dinner. Their menu is excellent. We love their steaks.
Always cooked to perfection and served beautifully.
Baker Peters is located in an antebellum home that was mercifully saved from the wrecking ball...probably on more than one occasion.
If you like live entertainment, their upstairs lounge has terrific jazz nearly every night of the week. While you're up there, have a martini. There is something for everyone. And be sure to look for the ghost of Abner Baker. He was hanged just after the Civil War after avenging his father's death at the hands of Union Soldiers. Be sure to ask about it and go downstairs to see the bullet holes in the door.
The food is always great and the atmosphere is always fun at Baker Peters.

OCI recently doubled in size when they took over the space next door. They added a lot of seating, an outdoor patio and quite a few TV's. The food here is awesome. The burgers are definitely some of the best I've ever tasted. The menu is large, so if burgers aren't your thing you'll be able to find something else that is just as good.
Pros: great food, good prices
Cons: can get crowded during late night

Fresh fish is available daily and the showcase in the front entrance area is generally full of the menu selections. This place offers a quiet and relaxing reprieve for downtown workers at lunch. The restaurant has numerous aquariums for a relaxing meal. Swordfish, shrimp, Snapper, lobster and about everything you'd expect is available. For those that dislike the seafood, steak or chicken is also available.
Our favorite is shrimp scampi and spinach maria as side dish served with homemade bread/roll
Any drink from their bar menu is tasty!

In Knoxville, or anywhere else for that matter, there is no better place to go for prime rib than the Copper Cellar. I went here while on a work trip so I don't know what the cost was, but I guarantee you the place is worth every penny. If I remember right the place is famous for their prime rib so I don't recommend trying anything else.

This is one of my favourite place. Fajitah is my favourite for this shop... The food here is nice. But this restaurant needs to work with the buffet more. Good, but buffet item must be more. I go there often, as it is near to my apartments.

My girlfriend and I visited the DGB tonight, and met an extremely bright, unbelievably pleasant young man named Mark, who was nothing short of exemplary as a server. Our entire experience tonight was quite enjoyable, from the mouth-watering prime ribs we ate down to the amazing service we received. If you decide to visit the restaurant, I would recommend you request Mark as your server. He was very knowledgeable about the menu, as well as immensely efficient. We never waited for drink refills, which was fantastic due to the quality of beer served. He was also very adept at all of the trivia we were spouting back and forth with each other. Everything was above-and-beyond, and we will definitely visit again.

One of the best things about Chili's is the chips and salsa. They are very addicting, and unlimited refills. They have one of the longest happy hours as well. Please give them a try! The fajitas are good as well as basically everything else!
