Mr Gatti's is a different style restaurant -- they have an arcade in it! They offer buffet style pizza as well as a salad bar. Their pizza isn't New York style pizza, but I think it is flavorful. Their dessert pizza is very very good - especially the apple one. I am drooling just thinking about it. Prices are very reasonable. It is definitely a college hang out, which is OK with me; but just wanted others to know that. We tend to have a fun time when we go to Mr Gatti's. If you go, save room for the apple dessert pizza!

Calhoun's is a great fun restaurant. It is located right on the river. You can choose indoor seating or outside seating. I love sitting outside and relaxing in the scenery of Knoxville. When I am in the mood for more of a fun atmosphere -- I always head for their bar. Especially if UT is playing football that weekend! The food is outstanding -- especially their ribs! Service is outstanding! Be prepared for a wait if you visit during the weekend -- especially if there is a UT home football game that weekend. Definitely worth the wait though for amazing food and service!

The Juice Shop sets the standard for amazingly tasty smoothies! They use all natural ingredients: sherbet, juices, frozen yogurt, fruit, ice. They blend those ingredients into a variety of different combinations to create amazingly delicious smoothies. Yum! My favorite is Cranberry Crush -- yum yum yum! The menu has stayed the same in the 7 years I have known about the shop. Not a complaint -- although occasionally I wish they'd add a new combo to their mix of old favorites. Prices are reasonable considering serving size is truly enough for two. Although, I rather not share and just drink the fabulous concoction all by myself. Service is usually quick -- once in awhile you have to wait due to a crowd. Can't wait to go back and get another Cranberry Crush!

Usually I like Kroger grocery stores -- this one just isn't one of my favorites. I really think it all comes down to the lighting --- just not bright enough in that store. I want brightly lit aisles -- especially in the produce and meat departments so I can clearly see what I am buying. Other than that -- typical Kroger prices; polite and friendly staff; typical cashier grumblings over my wife's coupons; clean store; decent sales.

Oh my! The cinnamin buns at Cinnabon are too tasty for words. To be honest, the aroma as you walk by is sinful enough to add 5 lbs to your weight! I'd be happy just sittinng outside their establishment and sniffing the aroma all day long. Wonder if I could get a job doing that? Ok, even better than the aroma -- the actual bun itself! Absolutely divine! Prices are high -- but that is expected at little food boutiques in the mall. Service is quick and friendly. And even when there is a line - you don't mind waiting because the aroma is so divine!

The Georgia Aquarium offers an amazing selection of fish and sealife to view. I was amazed they had an octopus -- I have never seen one at an aquarium prior to my visit here. Unfortunately, due to the crowds, I didn't get to spend much time staring and checking it out. The huge amount of people was the only negative about the place. Way too many people at times! The layout is nice. Display of fish is amazing -- especially the one room where the whole wall is a fish tank! AMAZING!! Admission price seemed high, but then it does take a lot of money to run an aquarium. I suggest, if you can, visit in the middle of the week.

To steal a word my wife coined: SCRUM-DIDDLY-ISCIOUS best sums up the taste of the food at the Black Eyed Pea. I am only sorry to say the one near my hometown closed. Anywho, let's talk about this one: super menu selection of Southern type foods with a good variety of non-fried foods. Yea for our hearts! Their meatloafs tastes like mom's! Desserts are quite tasty! Prices are very reasonable especially for the size servings. Service is always excellent. During the weekend, there is usually a wait -- but that is a sign of a yummy place to eat! Think I need to go back to Hendersonville to get some Black Eyed Pea food!

I love going to Bottom's Up when I am visiting friends in Richmond. They offer a great variety of tasty pizza! And I love where it is located -- in the heart of downtown Richmond! Great atmosphere! Great menu! Prices are reasonable. Good assortment of beer choices. One has to love that! Unfortunately, there always seems to be a long wait -- please note, I have only been to Bottom's Up on the weekend as I don't live in Richmond. That could be the reason for the wait (it being the weekend). All around enjoyable place!

I love going to Fazoli's! They offer a variety of tasty Italian food for an excellent price. This restaurant is a step-up from a fast-food joint. You order at the counter and before you are done paying, usually your food is ready. Staff circulate the restaurant offering fresh breadsticks -- as many as you can eat. They are yummy! This is a great place to dine if you are in the mood for more than Wendy's but don't have the time or money for Applebee's. My recommendation? The chicken parm! Absolutely yummy!

MacAdo's offers an amazing variety of wonderful tasting sandwiches. The atmosphere is fun with lots of fun photos hanging on the walls as well as cool stuff hanging from the ceilings. Although they are known for their bands and bar scene, they do market themselves as a family restaurant. They offer a kids' night every Tuesday -- kids eat FREE from 4pm - 9pm. Even better: TWO kids eat free per ONE adult. And at this location, they have a clown from 6pm - 8pm every Tuesday night. The kids love Ziggy! Kid's menu is a variety of simple kid-lovin sandwiches (think PBJ and grilled cheese). Prices are more than reasonable. Great fun restaurant! Great staff! Great service! Love it!
