What Ramon Arminson doesn't like about Babalu Knoxville:
It was our first time in this restaurant and definitely the last time. At the beginning everything was fine: the service was very friendly and the restaurant looked very nice. Unfortunately the food was a disaster. We had the beef and chicken tacos. Unfortunately it didn't taste good at all and had no taste. The Caesar salad with chicken was even worse. The salad was simply slapped onto the plate, without any sauce.... View all feedback. What Latashia Johnson likes about Babalu Knoxville:
I wasn't aware of this place before, but I'm really glad we discovered it. The food was fantastic— I had the crab cakes, and someone else ordered the shrimp and grits. Both dishes were bursting with flavor! I would recommend this spot to anyone. We're definitely planning to return. View all feedback.

This place is nice, it has good food and atmosphere. The best part is that you don't have to wait hours for a table
