15 Essential Restaurants Near Downtown Knoxville

"This comforting, no-frills soul food restaurant in North Knox is named after its owner, Jackie Griffin, who has accomplished a lifelong dream of sharing the food she grew up cooking alongside her grandmothers, mother, and uncles. Family recipes make appearances all over the menu, from Nanny Mary’s cornmeal-fried green tomatoes and Aunt Maimie’s candied yams to Grandaddy C.D.’s collard greens and Mama’s mac and cheese, and daily specials include further favorites from Griffin’s childhood, like hamburger steak and gravy." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones, Kellie Walton
