What Eryn Hartmann likes about Tupelo Honey - Knoxville:
I love Virgils BBQ. The food,services,waitresses,music, portion of food is great. People are friendly. The price of food is little expensive but over all experience is lots of fun View all feedback. What Eli Beier doesn't like about Tupelo Honey - Knoxville:
We were three adults with two (nicely dressed and well mannered) kids at 5 in the evening on a Sunday. The restaurant was 1/2 empty and the rude hostess shoved us at a tall bar table in between a service station and the kitchen door. After asking someone other than the hostess were moved to a regular table. The waitstaff was either overwhelmed or just terribly trained. Service took forever, orders were wrong, and the...

Our server was very friendly and helpful. The fried green tomatoes were spicy. We definitely come back when we're in the area.

The banana pudding was the best I ever had (apart from my grandma, of course). I can't wait to get back for more! Our waiter, Clint, was Top Notch.

Virgil's BBQ in Knoxville's Market Square offers a mixed experience, according to recent diners. While some praised the excellent Memphis BBQ ribs and friendly service, others were disappointed by the Texas BBQ brisket and slow, mistake-ridden service. The ambiance was lively, with great music but also with some issues like unnecessary loudness and loud neighboring diners. Overall, Virgil's offers a fun dining experience with great food, but some improvements in service and ambiance could elevate the overall experience for all customers.

It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great. Priced decently , but overall I would not recommend.

The macaroni could use some more flavor or sauce in general. It was a bit dry overall. I ordered the chicken and macaroni and cheese waffles, and the portion wa...
