Aubrey's Strawberry Plains

Friendly service. Indoor and outdoor (weather permitting) seating. Bar available. I had the caesar salad with chicken and their soup of the moment which was broccoli cheddar. My husband had the cajun chicken sandwich with the broccoli cheddar soup. Both of our meals tasted good.

Absolutely delicious, the market fresh Mahi was so flaky & tender, loved the seasoning on it. Steak was tender, loved the Hawaiian glaze & it was a perfect medium rare. Creamed spinach is a steakhouse staple in East T.N. & Aubrey’s does it the best, hands down. Can’t wait to come back!

The food was delicious and the service was quick and friendly. We ate the food too quickly to take any pictures but it was great. We really enjoyed the chicken tenders and salmon tacos. I appreciate that they have a separate area with the TVs so you can choose if you want to sit there or not. It felt fancy but also casual. It seems like a great place to celebrate. There were several parties with balloons while we were there.

This was a great find! We were on the Interstate and were looking for something different for lunch, and my wife found this. It was very easy to find, right off the highway. We were welcomed and seated right when we got there (around 11:45). Shoutout to Stef, who too great care of us. I had the Rattlesnake Pasta, which was excellent. My wife had the Grilled Salmon Tacos, which were very good as well. What a great break before we got back on the road!

Stopped in for dinner on a road trip to Louisiana. Enjoyed the food the service was great nice hometown restaurant.

We always come to this location whenever we decide to go out and eat. On our Anniversary back in November, we were off to a bad start with my husband's food not being cooked through and before we could finish asking for a Manager, the Manager Bryan was already on top of it. He quickly resolved the issue and made sure we were taken great care of. The next time we came out was the following week and once again, A+ service. Even when we order to go, the food is always prompt, and does not just sit on the counter waiting for someone to grab it for the customer. Last night I went once again and saw Bryan and he actually remembered me. That says something to me. I hope corporate is reading this and if you are, this team is definitely for keeps.

We ate here around 2pm, with our two pups. Courtney was our server out on the patio. She brought water for the pups, and did a great job taking care of the humans as well. Tasty food, great service and decent weather... A win in my book!

We got seated immediately on Valentine’s so that was great. Our server was very busy which makes me ask why doesn’t Aubrey’s have bussers. To cheap to pay them, make the servers do it. It is not efficient and the ignorance or cheapness of it is mind blowing. Our bread was two hamburger buns. Just say you sold out of bread. The Hawaiian Ribeye was very good and cooked correctly. Chicken tenders and waffle fries were delicious. Out of baked potatoes. Honestly is was better than I expected it to be.

The food is fresh and warm. The staff friendly. The big issue with me is drive thru and it was not only quick but also accurate

Hubs and I stopped in here for dinner after being in the car all day and it was SO much better than a meal at a fast food restaurant! My meal was both healthy AND delicious, with friendly and efficient service. The ambiance was MUCH better than a fast food place, and I'm glad we made the decision to eat here. Overall, it seemed worth the amount paid.

Good food, my wife's steak was under cooked and they fixed it. Nice atmosphere and the sides were fresh.

The grilled chicken sandwich was amazing! The service was great. Nice restaurant, for a good stop if you are on. Long trip

We had our dog with us so we sat on the patio where there was plenty of shaded tables. There were 3 of us and we split 2 salads and we also split the Rockefeller Pizza. It was just enough but more importantly it was DELICIOUS!!! We will definitely order this again. Our server was not the friendliest and as my husband was trying to order To Go drinks she just zipped off to help some other couples. It was a little off-putting.

Food is excellent. I had the best cheddar burger ever. it was great, juicy, and cooked to perfection. Bun was tasty. Complimentary bread was good. They had quite a crowd in there. Delivery of food was slow, but worth it. Our waitress came by and said, it should not be taking this long. She was able to track it down. Perhaps it was just sitting somewhere. But it arrived and was warm. Exiting was tough. We finally got ahold of waitress and asked for out check. When she finally returned with it, the next waiting period was to find out the system was down and it may take a bit. Interesting others around me were getting their checks and departing. I think it took us longer to exit than to eat. Otherwise, i would have gone 5 stars.

I decided to eat here last night because well it was practically in the parking lot of my hotel. The ambience of the place is not unlike a nice steakhouse, or other high-end casual dining. Think sort of like a Maggianos without all of that Italian stuff. I started out with the Rockefeller pizza or something like that. It was a good little pizza on a thin crust like a flatbread, but not as doughy it was very nice. I then followed up with the rattlesnake pasta, sort of a linguine dish with a bunch of different stuff thrown in, I'm not even sure why they called it rattlesnake. But it was good. Everything had a lot of flavor and the service was excellent. A nice young man named Peyton was my server. He was very personable and made good suggestions. I then had a large piece of cheesecake for dessert. This was very good. The whole meal was 50 bucks, a little bit on the high side, but that's OK. I did not have any alcohol with the meal I had Diet Coke.

Steaks have a lot of fat on them not with the 37.00 we have to pay manager said he would look at the other steaks to see how much fat are on them not taking care of the problem I had

Great service and food with a huge beer selection. We had a large group of 12 and they were able to quickly accommodate us and the wait times were not long. I would highly recommend coming here.

KNOXVILLE, TN 37924 / REGIONAL COMFORT FOODS / 09-25-23 / DINNER +The Hawaiian Ribeye was legit. +The customer service was okay. +Plenty of parking and seating. -The Caesar Salad could've been better. -The place was a bit untidy.

This was right near our hotel, so decided to go for dinner. Food was pretty good and staff was friendly. Place was clean. Not a bad choice for a meal before the rest of our road trip. Would go here again when we are in the area

The service was quick and "Johnny on the spot." It was recommended by a couple of the folks with me that the Hawaiian ribeye ($30)was a favorite, so that was me, medium rare. My selected side was roasted mushrooms. The steak was precisely cooked, and tender for the entire steak. No complaints at all. The pineapple slices on top of the meat was unusual and did not seem to add to the flavor. As I enjoy pineapple, it did not go to waste. One of us had the "pizza rock" ($12) which was like a large flatbread with tomato sauce and cheese on it like a regular pizza, added with some sliced hot peppers which unfortunately overpowered the good taste. Take off the peppers (as I did on a slice) and I would order it. Not on the menu, but ordered (by a former employee with us) as an off-menu item was a kale salad. ($5 for an ordered side salad, plus $4 for kale). Some of you may be like me and think that kale is bitter but trust me this special salad did not taste bitter at all and was tender and not bitter or a harsh texture. Surprise! I would order it, based upon my one sample bite. All in all, I highly recommend this place for its comfortable (but large) dining area ambience, the great service and, oh yes, the great food. Four people for $147.49, which included $36 in wine and beer.

Fast, polite service. Clean. Big parking lot. Food was good. Place is what you expect from Aubrey's but this place is always filled with tourists. We stay at the Hampton behind the restaurant and there are busses in the parking lot often. Very convenient to the highway.

Fun place, good food, friendly servers. My favorite time is Wednesday for the wings.

Stopped here to eat on a road trip. Busy Friday night so we waited about 15 min. The bar area was very nice, closed off in glass from the rest of the restaurant. Nice bathrooms. Had a very nice table with great service from Colton. Kids meals had good prices. Son really liked his chicken fingers. Daughter had m&c and loved the fries. I had the grilled chicken sandwich (juicy and excellent) and cinnamon apples (meh). Husband had chicken fried chicken, said it was fine. He appreciated the local Knoxville beer selection. And we all loved the bread, didn't have dessert. Good ambiance, would definitely return!

Used to love the baked scrod but today it was mushy. The potato chips were wonderful as always. I still want a good piece of fish, probably not going here when I want one the next time.

Just landed in TN came straight from the airport needing a bite to eat. Food was really good! The atmosphere inside was lacking a bit, felt like a Chili's. Really comfortable, kid friendly! Not a place you'd dress up to go to. If you're tired after a long day, walk in and grab some dinner! Service was good! Our waitress was sweet and quick to refill drinks!

We love Aubrey's. Great service wonderful food never disappoints. It's clean. The staff is so friendly for always checking on you making sure your service is just exactly how you want it. It's just a great atmosphere.

The food was amazing. The atmosphere was light and the tunes made me want to come back so I'll be going back tomorrow.

I had the pleasure of visiting Aubrey's in Strawberry Plains twice, on 7/27/23 and 9/07/23, and both experiences left a positive impression. During my first visit, the restaurant was bustling, yet the service was prompt. Our waitress efficiently took our drink order, and the beverages, along with water, were promptly delivered. The meal started with a delightful surprise - a roll made of whole wheat bread made with molasses, setting a delicious tone for what was to come. The HAIL, CAESAR! salad was a standout, featuring romaine hearts, eggless Caesar dressing, parmesan, and croutons. The unique tangy taste of the dressing, enriched by an extra dose of anchovy paste, made this Caesar salad a memorable and delicious choice. Opting for the NORTH CAROLINA CATFISH, I was treated to a culinary masterpiece. The catfish was expertly fried, with a perfect crisp on the outside and a tender, moist, and flaky interior. The spices in the batter were well-balanced, enhancing the fish's natural flavor. The accompanying lemon caper sauce added a delightful touch, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. The sautéed mushrooms, while good, could have been a bit richer in buttery goodness. My wife enjoyed the CHICKEN SALAD CLUB, a delightful combination of homemade chicken salad, Havarti cheese, bacon, shredded lettuce, and tomato on toast. On our second visit on 9/07/23: We revisited the HAIL, CAESAR! salad, which continued to impress with its delicious uniqueness. My wife once again savored the delightful CHICKEN SALAD CLUB. This time, I opted for the 12 oz RIBEYE, and it did not disappoint. Grilled to perfection with a good sear on the outside and a juicy medium-rare inside, the steak was tender and delicious. This time I asked for more sauce on my sautéed mushrooms and this time the were perfect. Overall, Aubrey's at Strawberry Plains consistently delivers a delicious dining experience with unique flavors and expertly prepared dishes. From the standout HAIL, CAESAR! salad to the perfectly fried catfish and mouth watering ribeye, each visit was a culinary delight. I look forward to returning to explore more of their enticing menu in the future.

Highly recommend this restaurant if you have a gluten allergy, there's a whole separate menu that had a lot of variety of stuff. The waitress staff was great. We had a toddler with us. Her food was ordered first and brought out when appetizers would normally be brought out so it would be ready for her to eat when we all ate.. very clean restaurant and highly recommended for anybody. The food portions were very large. All of us took boxes home.

I ordered a rare 12oz Ribeye, and got a medium well Strip. Didn't complain due to being on a tight travel schedule. Service was pretty good and the place is nice.

I've always been an Aubrey's fan! Even before it came to Strawplains I ate at the one in Powell & Maryville on several occasions. I have always enjoyed my meal and service. Yesterday, Sunday lunch, wasn't as a pleasant experience as normal. My friend & I both got the Cranberry Chicken Salad (one of my personal favorites). I always have cheddar cheese instead of goat cheese & that was perfect. However, the lettuce just didn't seem as fresh & there were no pecans in either of our salads. It just seemed like every item that is supposed to be on this salad was much less or not there. Very few dried cranberries in mine & none in my friends. Our server was Ann....not the friendliest server there for sure. Everyone deserves a bad day I suppose but.... Thanks for your time!

We had a few drinks and ordered some food to go when we were staying at the Hampton behind it recently. Highly recommend the steak tips with gnocchi and asparagus and mushrooms from the appetizer menu. It was delicious! I need to try to recreate that one at home, it was that good!

We had arrangements for a very large party here of 13 at 4pm on a Friday. The restaurant was sparse but it was packed by the time we left. Our server was wonderful, we went back and forth if we would need another table or not and she was more than accommodating. I had an excellent old fashioned made at the bar, when I asked for a local whisky to be used since I'm an out of Towner, the bartender had plenty to offer. We ordered and our food came out piping hot and no issues with any of the 13 orders. With how packed it got in the restaurant, you could still hear your party's conversations and even enjoy the sunshine through the windows and the artwork hanging from the ceiling. I would come back in a heartbeat!

Decent food, good service, good beer selection, pet friendly patio. The patty melt is a big burgers not the traditional smash burger style and it was over cooked. My husband's chicken salad sandwich looked amazing, but when I tried it, it lacked flavor big time. The sides were great. The patio is a good place to eat with your pup. The nightlight was our waitress. I don't know her name but she's a brunette with a European accent.

This food was terrible! The chicken was over fried and dry. The fries were just okay and their bread service was tasteless. For the money, I could have gone through a drive thru and had better food. Service was mediocre.

The food is excellent and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Their burgers are great and the restaurant itself has a nice aesthetic. I love coming here for lunch, even in busy weekends.

Stayin, just down the street at one of the local hotels, we looked for a restaurant that's just not the typical fast food. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked into Aubrey's , first your greeted by friendly staff, they will help you to a table in a large open seating area. Today's lunch was slightly busy and a manager got right on in and started helping out. A+ Buttermilk fried chicken ($16) with French Fries. The buttermilk fried chicken was a crispy, delicious and tender chicken breast, smothered, in a savory white gravy that was delicious. It was accompanied with a side of shoestring french fries that were crispy and perfectly made. Darn Good to me !! Customer Service was on point too...friendly, attentive and helpful staff. It ready made this experience even better ! Overall, I could eat here all the time, and would recommend this place if you were just passing through.

Everything is always too notch at Aubrey's. The owner Randy is real good people. By the holes in his tennis shoes and the clothes he wears You would not know that he was the owner of quite a few upscale restaurants. I like that in a person. That shows good character. He treats his employees with nothing besides love & respect. He even rents homes to some of them. Good people. Thank you Randy. Misty Flenniken.

The service was excellent! Erin took great care of us making excellent recommendations as to what to eat. Ordered their clam chowder first. Tons of clams with great flavor! A big t salty, but that's what I would have done to it anyway. Perfect for me! The food was great. Grilled chicken with their sliced sweet potato fries. Honey mustard and ranch dressing. It IS part of a small chain. Don't let that dissuade you from visiting. It is definitely on my 'must go back' list so I can try some of their other dishes.

Loved Aubrey's. Please come to Augusta, GA. We need good restaurants in Augusta ( called Disgusta for a reason).

We loved this place so much that we ate there 3 times during our stay -- TWICE in ONE DAY! (Before & after Dollywood) Everything was tasty & the wait staff was ALWAYS attentive & friendly. I HIGHLY recommend the Filet Bites "small plate". This & the Asian Chicken salad was a great meal for me. The homemade bread isn't my favorite -- seems like a giant burger bun in consistency... but the honey butter with it was delicious so I "suffered" through it. :) Citrus glazed salmon was ordered more than once. My mom got the potato soup EVERY visit! My husband ordered the "soup of the moment" -- which was Chicken Almond -- he loved it so much he ordered again on another visit. We also tried the Haystack Pasta, which was really good with mushrooms & a mushroom cream sauce! Obviously we'll DEFINITELY be back when we're in town!

Had a great lunch at Aubrey's in Strawberry Plains on Saturday. Francisco was our waiter and he was super. He get our order turned in and delivered to the table quickly and as ordered. Local burger and fries were good. Plenty of tea. Easy parking. Clean dining room. We come here several times a year when traveling. We will return. Thanks to Francisco!

Heard this was where the locals eat and now I know why. Great service, prices for meals, and menu. Recommend any of the sides, soups, and tenders. Large potties and variety.

I bet I've eaten here 50 times, regularly ever since it opened, and I have never ever had a bad meal or bad service. Honestly, I don't know how they are so consistent. This is a great concept and the best managed restaurant I've ever seen. Amazing.

Aubrey's is a restaurant I've been going to for a long time, typically when visiting family. After trying a lot of the menu I can say I find the restaurant quite average. The steaks are standard, the mac and cheese is good, their pasta leaves something to be desired. The service tends to be good. The last time I dined in a loud blender disrupted our conversation several times (and we were seating in the back of the restaurant-- it was **loud**) which was strange but atypical. I've heard the beer selection is nice but do not drink myself. It's an inoffensive place to dine. They have great salads (highlighting the strawberry salad specifically). Strawberry Plains is slim pickings as far as restaurant goes so it's a nice stop if you're in the area.

My salmon was over cooked, a tad burnt . Service was fair. Ambiance was fair too. I probably wont be back.

Very generous and delicious portions at a reasonable cost. No issues with service even on a busy Friday night.

Food was good, service was ok. Loved the sourcing of local meat and vegetables, and the place was absolutely a local favorite. I will go back again when in the area and get a better feel for the place but would also recommend it for anyone who hasn't tried them and want a home cooked feel to their meal.

While the food was ok (not great as we were told) the service was horrible! We waited 40 minutes for a table, then the waitress was inattentive and screwed up our bills. We won't be going back anytime soon!

I thought this place was good. The place was PACKED. Which I guess I should've figured it would be on a Friday night but wow. It must be one of the most popular places in town. I will say, It would've been nice if the hostesses would've told me I could just sit at the bar and eat. But the 30 minute wait went quick as the other waiting patrons were friendly and talkative. One suggested the Thunder road burger and the steaks while another suggested the rattlesnake chicken pasta and the steaks. So everyone seems to agree the steaks are good. I had steak earlier in the day so I decided on a light meal of chicken fingers as was suggested by several reviews. And I cannot complain in the slightest! The tenders were great and can't speak highly enough about them. The fries and smashed Yukon's weren't mind blowing but good enough. I was given bread, after like 20 minutes, and it was decent fresh made bread served with honey butter. Not my normal preference but it was not bad. Bar area was super loud and where I ended up being seated. They allow people to smoke right by the door on the patio so smoke may get to you as it did me. Something super positive I will Add is that DOGS are allowed on the patio! That's right I said DOGS!! I got to see a super cute Welsh corgi. And I noticed dog bowls on the floor by the bar that apparently they keep clean for dogs on the patio. So a dog friendly place that will get my love in the future. The friendly staff is what was most mentioned in the reviews but I didn't necessarily find that to be the case with my server or the manager. In fairness the manager was running around like crazy but still. The waitress seemed as though she was bothered by having a single patron take up a table while busy. Which I guess I get but I told them that anyone that wanted to split the table was welcome to. Oh well, maybe it was just a bad night. Otherwise I will likely visit if I'm ever in the area again.

Food was very good but terrible service. Had to track down a manager to get the rest of our order and drinks. Couldn't find our waitress and others couldn't help. We will be going to a different location in the future. Disappointing for a usually good chain.

The food was delicious. I had the chicken finger platter and my husband had the Ruben, both with thick cut chips. Our server, Justin M., was friendly, helpful, and attentive. If we lived in Knoxville we'd be regulars,

I love Aubrey's and have been eating their food, since they opened in the early 90s, and during this time, I have never had a bad meal. Their menu has great variety and their restaurants have a great atmosphere. I feel that Aubrey's is a greater value than most other restaurants due to the quality of ingredients used, moderate to large portions sizes, and great service (usually). My favorite item on the menu is the "Rooster grill." It's a deliciously marinated, double breast (10oz) of chicken, deeply marinated and expertly grilled, served as a sandwich and topped with Swiss cheese. This dish is so good that it's also my wife's favorite menu item and we seldom eat the same dish, when dining out. I can say, from experience, that their chicken tenders are awesome and Aubrey's has the best honey mustard for dipping. I would also recommend the thick-cut potato chips as an appetizer or side!

We stopped at this location traveling through Knoxville on a long road trip. I saw on BringFido that they had a dog friendly patio and everyone needed a real meal after traveling and fast food. We came through on a Saturday evening and were able to get seated right away. They had daily specials and half off bottles of wine on Saturdays. The indoor ambiance was a little different - I'm not really sure the vibe they're going for, but it was fine. The service was okay - I think it was probably our specific waitress. She just cut straight to the point and seemed maybe a little irritated to be there. However, she kept our drinks full and came around often. We received our appetizers and meals fairly quickly. Everything that we had was good and I thought the variety of the menu was decent. If I lived in the area, I'm sure I would return!

Best server is Matt -the bald one! Lol)!! Never had an issue with anything here!! Definitely worth the visit!!

This is a high volume, casual dining Tennessee chain with slightly more creative than average, mostly made from "real" food type restaurant. The upside of small chains is that their reliability isn't completely at the cost of having interesting or well prepared fresh food. Lots of hard surfaces, a large open room, and a kitchen that is partly open (well, in a chain restaurant - type place way) make for a fairly loud experience that may be difficult for littles, non-neurotypical, or people with hearing impairments. Service is quick, though, and thorough. Side salad has limited ingredients (leaf lettuce, diced cucumber, fresh grated cheese, and potato sticks, if memory serves), and house-made garlic buttermilk dressing is tasty. Yukon potato mash is delicious. Chicken salad is a pretty average shredded chicken mayo blend. They have daily happy hour specials, like 2$ off your draft beer, whether or not you sit in the bar area. Numerous beers on draft, too, although the selection was very IPA heavy. I don't know that I'd go rushing back, and I definitely wouldn't drive out of my way, but if I noticed a location nearby, I'd be happy to grab a bite there. When I stay nearby, for example, it's easy to get to from the hotel parking lot.

I just walked out after waiting 30 minutes for a tuna sandwich and a cup of soup, the folks that came in after me got their food and I got offered bread, didn't come there to eat a loaf of bread, maybe it was a bad night in the kitchen, but I would never waste my time going back there again.
