15 Essential Restaurants Near Downtown Knoxville

"If you only have one meal in Knoxville, this downtown charmer in a former photography studio may be the one. Chef Joseph Lynn won a James Beard Award for best chef: Southeast during his time at fine-dining destination Blackberry Farm; at J.C. Holdway, his wood-fired Appalachian flavors permeate the weekly a la carte menus to great effect. Expect an impressive beverage list to complement dishes like a riff on smoked chicken wings with Alabama white sauce or mushrooms and a soft-cooked farm egg on a tender pile of gnocchi." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones, Kellie Walton
