Connors Steak & Seafood

The service was excellent from start to finish, and the food was absolutely amazing. We started with the fresh oysters and the hot corn dip, which was the perfect way to kick off the meal. For the main course, the steaks were the highlight. My steak was perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and seasoned just right. The sides didn't disappoint either, the loaded baked potato was huge and packed with all the goods! The broccoli was fresh and well-prepared. Overall, a fantastic dining experience. If you’re looking for a top-tier steak and great atmosphere, this is the spot!

We had a great experience at Connors Steak & Seafood in Knoxville. Our waitress provided excellent service, and the food was very good. It is a little pricey, but that’s expected these days—especially with quality meat. We made reservations, which was a good idea because the restaurant was booked until after 8 PM. Even so, we were seated quickly. Portions are generous—my potato soup was so good, everyone enjoyed their meals, and we even had leftovers. The atmosphere is always nice, and we consistently enjoy eating here.

I recommend that you get a reservation, as it is a popular place. Came for a special occasion, our 15 year anniversary, and slow-played drinks, appetizer, soup/salad, entrees, coffee & dessert. We had a nice time. The food was fantastic! The steak was cooked perfectly. The waiter and service was also excellent. Never felt rushed and felt like a five-star restaurant. We will be back for another special occasion. A rare, but worthwhile splurge. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Absolutely my favorite places to eat. We celebrated our anniversary there today and as always the food was fabulous. Your staff is 90% of the reason we keep coming back. They do such a phenomenal job. We love Connors !

We came for our anniversary made a reservation on a very busy Friday night. There was a bit of a wait but the staff made it up with a delicious appetizer of lobster dip. Both my husband and I got filets, mine was the blue cheese version and his the boursin. I'll speak for myself but that is the best steak I've had in years it was perfectly cooked and so tender I ate every bite of my 9oz. Atmosphere was wonderful and our waitress Kaitlyn was incredible. Highly recommend this place for your special occasions or date night just make a reservation!!

We celebrated our anniversary at Connor’s Steak and Seafood and it never disappoints. The steaks were cooked perfectly and everything was fresh and full of flavor. The service was great and made the whole experience even better. It is definitely one of our favorite places to celebrate and we can’t wait for our next visit!

Excellent steak! Wonderful warm place. Went to celebrate my daughter and daughter in law’s birthday. Had the most amazing time. Food was amazing & Sarah Rose was superb. She looked after us very much.

Went tonight 12/29/25. Ill give a breakdown of everything. Made a reservation and got seated on time. Waitress was phenomenal the entire night. Was very patient with our million questions. For the appetizer we had the lobster dip and it is out of this world good! Definitely get it! My wife ordered a ceasar salad and couldn't eat it but the waitress replaced it with a house salad that she loved. I ordered the special filet(I dont think there is a better steak out there) it literally melts in your mouth. Cooked to perfection. My wife ordered the regular filet and loved it. The shrimp skewers really can't be beat, if you even kind shrimp then please get them, you won't regret it! They are jumbo and seasoned well. For sides I had creamed corn(it was ok to me, wife loved it) and I had the white cheddar mac and cheese. I didn't like it, but my wife loved it. She had the Brussel sprouts and really liked them. Overall this restaurant is one of the best ive had in tenessee in 10 years of living here. It is expensive, but the food is so good I literally can't wait to go back. GET THE SPECIAL STEAK you will not regret it!!

Our meal was beyond fantastic! My wife's parents recommended this restaurant for my wife and I. We are in town for a show and decided to stop by on our way into Knoxville. It was about 3:00 and the restaurant was on a 45 minute wait. We decided to sit at the bar and have an appetizer while we waited for our table. They were unusually busy because of college graduations. We had a shrimp appetizer which was recommended by the bartender. It was delicious! It had the right amount of spice for us. Our table was ready right as we finished our appetizer. The hostess was very polite and asked us if we were celebrating anything special.. We were promptly greeted by our server Elisabeth who was wonderful. She told us the specials and inquired if it was our first visit. We ordered the espresso rubbed ribeye w/ a baked potato & Caesar salad. We decided to share a steak and ordered an extra wedge salad. Everything was delicious. The steak was a perfect medium. The butter that is served with the bread is heavenly. I was thrilled with my Caesar salad that had anchovies on top. My wedge salad was amazing. This was one of the best steaks we have ever had. We would highly recommend the restaurant for lunch or dinner. 5 ask for Elisabeth if you want a wonderful dining experience!

Excellent, just all around excellent! Was visiting Knoxville for the holidays and looking for local restaurants. This popped up as a recommendation of 4.9 starts with almost 4500 reviews. Started at the bar, the bartender let us know it was happy hour, so we both got drinks and waited for our table. Once seated, our server took excellent care of us, asking about food allergies, etc. We skipped appetizers so we could get dessert, so ordered a filet and the Chilean Sea Bass Oscar. OMG, the food was phenomenal. The steak was cooked to perfection with homemade Boursin cheese. The Sea Bass was probably the best fish dish I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, crab and grilled asparagus was just delicious. The Asiago creamed spinach and the rice pilaf were both excellent as well. The rice was different than any I've ever had. It had dried blueberries, red peppers, onions and pepitas in it. Absolutely delicious. Glad we saved room for dessert. German Chocolate cake was just as good as everything else. One of the best meals I've ever had. If you are in the area, this is a must add to your dining experience.

Connors Steak & Seafood in Turkey Creek is hands-down one of Knoxville's top spots for a memorable meal - upscale yet welcoming, with that perfect blend of warm fireplaces, elegant interiors, and "guest-obsessed" service that makes every visit special. Whether it's a celebration or just a great dinner out, this place consistently delivers excellence. Start with the lobster bisque - you simply can't pass it up! Rich, creamy, velvety smooth with generous chunks of lobster, it's one of the best I've ever had and sets the tone for an outstanding meal. The salads are fantastic too - fresh, crisp greens served on a chilled plate that keeps everything perfectly cool and refreshing. For the main event, the ribeye is perfection: aged, juicy, perfectly seared with that signature seasoning, and paired with their creamy cheese grits that are pure Southern comfort - rich, flavorful, and the ideal companion to the steak. Portions are generous, sides are spot-on, and the fresh bread with pesto butter is addictive. Service is always attentive and friendly, the wine list impressive, and the atmosphere inviting. Connors lives up to its reputation as Knoxville's favorite steakhouse - we'll be back soon! Highly recommend for anyone craving top-tier steak and seafood.

Arrived at the restaurant on Sunday at 6:30PM, there was a 45 minute wait so we decided to stay at the bar. Service was top-tier. From the host, to the bartenders. The bar was pretty busy, but you can tell they have a smooth process and system in place for everything. Food came out very quickly and was absolutely tasty. We started off with the lobster bisque, and my husband, and I shared the ribeye, with the baked potato, and a house salad. I would definitely recommend and come back again.

Connors is the kind of place I can typically only afford to go for special occasions but boy what a good job they do on those occasions. Consistently great service and good food. Their steak is obviously well cooked and seasoned well. The lobster bisque is consistently creamy and rich. Haven't had a side I didn't like, though my favorite is the creamed spinach. I wasn't a big fan of the rainbow trout though. It was pretty dry even with the pineapple salsa and had a thin fillet, but maybe that was because it was a lunch item. The grilled chicken salad is also quite tasty, with an obvious char on the meat and a homemade ranch that makes it feel complete. And their desserts! The dulce de leche cake and the strawberry shortcake (which I normally don't like) are quite rich and filling. I look forward to trying more on the menu when I go for future celebrations!

Never fails to impress!!! Such great service, atmosphere and food! 49th anniversary and we split a beautiful steak dinner, loaded baked potato, CEASAR salad, shrimp and a Lobster tail. The meal was served to us dived on plates and the server was so gracious and pleasant. The meal was perfect in presentation and flavor was over the top. Dessert was a beautiful strawberry shortcake with a candle and homemade icecream. This was a gift to us from them along with a Happy Anniversary card on the table.. it was so yummy!!! A perfect meal and atmosphere to celebrate our anniversary.. thank you CONNORS!

First time at Conners / Turkey Creek Truffled deviled eggs were very good, will definitely have these again. Wedge salad was good. Espresso rubbed New York strip was very tasty, but over-cooked... Our server was quick to remedy and manager delivered another steak with fresh new sides. -Fire roasted cream corn was excellent. Overall a great experience & we will be back. -Please bring back banana foster.

This was a great experience. Had a 40 minute wait so decided to sit at bar. Bartender was friendly and exceptional. We both had top shelf drinks that were amazing. The bartender recommended the chicken piccata which was flavorful and on the lunch meeting. Also the wife had bang bang shrimp which was also wonderful. Had plenty for left overs. While suiting at bar got a Birds Eye view of the dessert guy making desserts. Next time will only go for dessert watched him make crème brûlée, cheesecake and strawberry shortcake

We LOVE Connor's, and wish there was one closer to us. Their oysters are so good for a steak house in East Tennessee. The lunch portion sirloin has never disappointed, and the baked potatoes are cooked to perfection. The fish & chips are lightly battered so you can taste the fish, and the slaw is very tasty. Lupita was our server/bartender and she treated us like we were the only ones in the restaurant. The music was jazzy, which made the dining experience feel relaxing. There are no pictures of the German Chocolate upside down cake because I was so excited to eat it that I forgot to take a photo. Try it. You will not be disappointed. Thank you, Connor's, for consistently doing what is good!

The food was amazing. The steak was perfectly prepared and well seasoned. Delicious. If you are in the area you should go.

If you're looking for something a little more upscale, this is an awesome place! The food is spot on and the service is impeccable! Would definitely recommend for a nice date night or when celebrating a special occasion.

During this busy Christmas season, we took our friends to Connor's to celebrate a birthday. They had never before dined here.* *Spoil alert: after just one visit, our friends are hooked for life. As usual, the service was impeccable. Our server, Whitney, did an amazing job. She served like a pro. We were surprised to learn that this was her first solo day on the floor. The food was splendid. All was cooked to order and everyone raved about the flavor, the artistic plating and the freshness. Two in our party ordered the chicken piccata. The birthday boy ordered the 7 ounce sirloin. This was after his dentist told him he would never be able to eat steak again. Well, the dentist was wrong; he ate every bite and said it was the most tender and best steak he's ever had. The ladies raved about the chicken piccata and the wonderful mashed potatoes upon which it was served I had the Korean spiced ribs, which were delectable and fall-off-the-bone delicious. Connor's never disappoints. It's one of our two favorite fine dining restaurants in town.

Really really great prime steak Very busy, had to eat at bar. Friendly but meh service. Loud.

Food was on point ! Perfect temp on Lamb, Filet and Pork chop . Service was perfect , timing of dishes and just the friendliness of ALL ( hostesses, servers, bar staff and servers ) . Ambiance was very "classy chop house " wood work and lighting was spot on ! Great experience

Connors did a great job making my wife feel comfortable eating there with food allergies. Connors has a very fancy vibe going on with fair prices for the quality of food they serve. It's an excellent date night or day spot located in Turkey creek by virtually everything. We plan to hit this spot for future date nights and enjoyed everything we have tried here so far. Great job Connors staff!

10/10 experience! We made a reservation to celebrate our 5 year anniversary. The service is absolutely fantastic and so friendly! We even had a card signed by some of the employees saying happy anniversary. Busy busy busy weekend but we were sat quickly in a comfy booth. The food is absolutely delicious and exceptional. For the table, we ordered the voodoo shrimp. Killer flavor and spice. Add some ranch dressing if you are a wimp like me and need it to be mild spice. For the main, I ordered the halibut with a crab cake and my partner ordered the new york strip. Super meaty crab cake and well worth the charge, perfect cook on a medium rare steak, flaky fish! Need I say more?? We ordered the carrot cake for dessert to celebrate, and it was delectable! Who doesn't love cream cheese frosting and caramel drizzle sauce? Plus it added to our daily veggie intake (LOL) Yum! We will definitely be visiting again and making more memories at Connors! Highly recommend (I hardly give 5 stars).

I have never been THAT impressed with Connor's, however it is definitely a nice restaurant with a good vibe and the service never disappoints. This time I got the spicy fish tacos and they were just okay, I found that the pineapple was the most flavorful part of them. The lobster crab bisque was 5 stars however, and there was lots of meat in the bisque.

The marbled steaks were perfect where the cut apart with one easy cut. The servers work together where the first available brings the piping hot food to the table. While they have their own special seasoning, you can have your steak seasoned as you want. Looking forward to returning.

Family vacation final meal out was great! Our server Adam provided great service! We encountered a few hiccups that were handled beautifully by our server and management. Food was delicious and drinks were not lacking. Quiet and well maintained. 9/10 would recommend!

Eh.... Service...Excellent Ambiance.... Comfortable quiet steakhouse Cleanliness...Excellent Chicken Piccata.... This is the reason for the average rating. The chicken was not tender and the sauce, which was nothing like a piccata sauce, was too thick. The sides of asparagus and creamed spinach were excellent.

Let me just start this review by saying that I've never tasted anything bad at Connors! My husband and I have stopped in for lunch when in the Knoxville area a few times now and have always been blown away by the taste and the value of our meals! The bread and pesto butter they bring out on the house is an added bonus! Connors is an upscale, classy steak house with so many different menu items, I'm positive everyone could find something they would like here! And the service is always excellent and very attentive!!

I was looking for something close to the mall and didn't want to drive downtown while I was in town for work. I stumbled upon this place and it was busy for a Wednesday night. There was a small wait for 3 of us but not long at all. Our server was super friendly and we had great service the whole time. We started with fried green tomatoes and also the Cajun spice fried shrimp. Both were delicious. The shrimp is like "bang bang" if you have had something like that at other restaurants. The tomatoes had cheesy grits with it so super flavorful. I ordered the Parmesan crusted halibut. I asked to trade out the sides and was able to! I got Brussels and mashed potatoes. The Brussels were amazing!!! The fish was also cooked well. All of the food was great. The manager also was going from table to table to check in with the dining experience. I enjoyed it! I'll be back for sure.

I ate at the bar and had the prime bone in ribeye two nights in a row. Both visits were very satisfying although parking cab was a challenge. The bar staff were attentive. The caesar and the wedge salads were great. The steaks were made perfectly as were the fries. The place had a nice vibe and the right level of lighting for a steak-seafood house. This is a darn good place with darn good service and darn good food. Not cheap but, I didn't feel one iota of disappointment. It was packed so, clearly there are plenty of Tennesseans who know the deal.

We visit Connors on all our special occasions. To this day, it is our most favorite restaurant in the greater Knoxville area, great place to be fed!

The ambience was amazing, wait staff was perfect and nothing was a miss on the food. Went for a birthday and couldn't have asked for a better steakhouse experience

This is our 5th time eating here-the calamari is a must! Filets always cooked to perfection-the only dish that wasn't good was the Chicken Parm! The service is superb and experience as a whole is dependable. The seating is different depending on what you choose bar area or more formal in darkly lit area.

One of my top two favorites in Knoxville! It is locally started/owned and the original. It has an upbeat, business-casual vibe, but dressed down is ok as well. I always get their Shrimp Cocktail and House Salad! The Lobster Bisque is amazing, and so are the Deviled Eggs and Ahi Tuna! You can't go wrong with the salmon or any steak. I've tried almost evening on the menu, and I haven't found anything that isn't delicious! We split the house salad, the 14 oz Coffee Rubbed NY Strip, a loaded baked potato, and asparagus! It was the perfect amount for my husband and me! We will always bass back!!!

Connors is a bit of a hidden gem and very underrated. The daily lunch menu has a variety of choices and is a great deal to try it out without committing to the higher priced dinner options. Everything that I've had has been fantastic and one of my go-to lunch options when I'm in the area.

Let me start off by saying manager CHARLES is absolutely wonderful!! We had multiple problems with our food, and our server deliberately lied to us (and blatantly BLAMED US for her forgetting our soups) and we caught her in the lie. We were really, really frustrated. It was our 2nd wedding anniversary and I was exasperated. We had 2 incorrectly cooked steaks, soup not brought out until our steaks were, soup was cold (and tasted like tomatoes - it was simply gross) and shrimp on the steak were overcooked too. When Charles found out about our frustrations he jumped in and did everything to make it right... And then some. He went way above and beyond to fix the problem and he's simply amazing. Overall food was a 3, service was a 2 (I did appreciate the anniversary card though) but Charles was a 5+ so since he swooped in and made it right I'll give the restaurant 4. Every restaurant needs a manager like Charles. Way to go Charles!

Conners is a top go to for business lunches and dinner. They get everything right. Their service team is absolutely top notch, the exact right amounts of attention, information, and charm. The food is unbelievably consistent. I have eaten there both socially and as business functions at least 50 times in the last few years. For those of us who have been around Knoxville for a while, it very much reminds me of Regas when they were in their prime. Well done.

Great service by Rachel, very friendly and kept up with us. The filet mignon was very delicious, very tender and cooked to perfection. The loaded baked potato was also so good. Great evening all the way around.

We had a party of 5, and came at kind of an off time. We arrived around 2 on a Sunday. Family members have raved about this spot. I ordered the Filet with blue cheese butter, and red wine reduction. This came with a salad with a made in house ranch, and a loaded potato. Hubby went with the ribeye. I can say that it is the best restaurant steak I remember having in my life. Wow! The service was perfection, and no one rushed us out the door as we were catching up.

We were doing a day date near Turkey Creek and have had Connor's on our radar. It was my husband's birthday and he wanted a meaty meal. We walked in to the usual steakhouse vibes....pleather booths, dim lighting, dark wood, wine bottle storage as decor, etc. We were instantly impressed with our glimpse of the kitchen and the staff lined up for quality control and distribution to the tables. We were greeted and seated immediately for lunch at 1:30 on a Friday. It was still surprisingly busy inside, despite it being a weekday and beyond prime lunch hours. Once seated, we were immediately met by our server asking for our drink order. I stuck with water but my partner got an old fashioned (which he said was a bit watered down). We started with fried green tomatoes, which were on top of cheese grits with a creamy cajun sauce. They were amazingly good! Also amazing was the warm bread served with a pesto butter spread. For our meals, I ordered the lunch soup and salad combo with Lobster bisque and house salad (with sweet red wine dressing). I was admittedly bummed about both based on the reviews and photos. The soup was fine-served the perfect temp and the creamy texture and seafood quality were spot on, but it was majorly lacking flavor. Salt, herbs, a spice...anything would have been appreciated. I also had four pieces of shell as I worked my way through it. The salad was also fine. I liked that there were nuts and cheese to add a bit of texture. The best part was the dressing, which was incredible. My husband ordered the NY strip (Medium Rare) with brussel sprouts and wedge salad as his sides. The sprouts were so tender and served in a flavorful sauce. The wedge salad was amazing (I will definitely get this next time). He wished that he had upgraded to the filet to make it even more tender. The meat was really well-seasoned and cooked. Steak is clearly their specialty. Other than being a served a dirty side/bread plate with red crustiness on it, the service was good. Our server was very efficient but admittedly a tad awkward and I don't know that he smiled or made eye contact even once. Perhaps he is a major introvert? However, he was timely and our orders correct. The manager did stop by the table to check on everything, as he did at all tables. I always think this is a thoughtful touch for successful restaurants.

Top level service every time. The food is exquisite and expertly prepared. Perfect spot for special occasions and celebrations.

Great food. Lunch specials are nice portions & priced well! Definitely worth going!

We got into Knoxville after a long drive and decided to try Connor's. It's nicely appointed with very helpful staff. I had their Calamari, which was very nicely done, and their Chilean Sea Bass. My wife had the Crab and Lobster Bisque, a Wedge Salad, and their Filet. She said her steak, salad, bisque were very good. While my fish was done well, there was just something about the mesquite flavor with hollandaise that didn't work that well for me, but that's just me. One of the better places I've been to in Knoxville.

First time we visited Connor's and we were very very happy! Service and food was outstanding! I got the baked Cod and my husband got the prime rib! They are wonderful to us Veterans too!! We will def be back! Good job!!

Another stellar meal at Connors, this time for lunch. I ordered one of the specials, a Lump Crab Cake and ramekin of aioli dipping sauce with a side of broccoli and also a bowl of the creamiest lobster bisque. Everything--absolutely delicious. Our attentive server, Marcus, brought us several Coke refills, and at the end of our meal, he surprised my spouse and me with a dish of decadent strawberry shortcake to share. It was the bomb with sweet berries, rich homemade ice cream and whipped cream over a scrumptious pound cake. Another fantastic dining experience on a rainy Monday afternoon!

Food is always consistent good cl, fresh. Tiffany our server could not have been more enjoyable and she made sure everything was perfect. She is a gem I think I'm going to ask for her when we come in. If I could go w her a 10 I would! The ambience of course is noisy and dark but I think we are used to it

By far the best ribeye and Mac I've ever had. (Other then my own lol) paired great with the lobster bisque

We visited Connors Steak & Seafood after church. The parking lot was packed and we thought we'd have a long wait, but our hungry bellies were happily seated in 10 minutes. We ordered the Crispy Calamari for our appetizer. It definitely was crispy and came with homemade cocktail sauce. I love a good bisque, so the Signature Lobster Crab Bisque was a must. The bisque was delicious and we cleaned the bowl with their House Bread. The House Bread came with Whipped Pesto Butter. For our main course, we had the Grilled Rainbow Trout and Fish & Chips. All the food was excellent! The restaurant had plenty of booth seating to accommodate the church crowd rush. They also had a bar area if you prefer high tops.

Service is delightful here and the food is consistently excellent. Ambiance is kind of typical for a steakhouse type of restaurant with a slightly upscale feel, but not pretentious at all.

Steak, crab legs, lobster are all as good as I have eaten anywhere. The staff is outstanding . It's the best fine dining in knoxville area.

Food was great. Service was also amazing. No complaints will be coming back! Not the biggest shortcake fan but the strawberry shortcake was 10/10

Food mediocre at best overpriced I can't recommend steak was bland not happy with experience

I had sea bass and it was very oily. Wasn't expecting that. I've always loved sea bass. Food was good otherwise . $$$

We recently ate an early dinner, celebrating some birthdays. Promptly seated, crisp service, spot on. Dimly lit dining room, kinda old school vibes, servers dressed in white uniforms. Recommend the Voodoo shrimp appetizer, it was the favorite of our group over the Lobster dip. Strongly recommend the Prime filet, it was $69 which is kinda pricey. However, it was fork tender and well seasoned. Luscious. For dessert the German chocolate cake was exquisite, hints of pecan and caramel. Loved it! This restaurant delivered again, as a celebration dining spot. Great job!

Consistently great food and service plus awesome Ambiance. It is evident that the management works hard on the plan for workers to complete each task and then they critique the plan each week to fine tune it. My family and I have been coming to this upscale steakhouse for over ten years and never had anything other than an excellent experience.

Everything with Connor's is perfect! The service is outstanding, the food is incredible, and a nice ambiance.
