Stock & Barrel

Great place if you are looking for burgers. They offer all different types of combos from traditional with cheese to egg or peanut butter toppings. The fries were great and the burger was cooked to order and was delicious. I tried the fried feta as an appetizer and it was good. Order if looking for a shareable . The tomato salad was refreshing and reminded me of a Greek salad. Our server was very friendly, knowledgeable and was very attentive to our table.

My food was so good, I couldn't stop eating long enough to take a picture before I finished my plate! Best burger ever! Fries are excellent! Love the atmosphere. If you want a great burger, come to this place! They have a couple of traditional burgers but also some very interesting combinations that I can't wait to try the next time I'm in town

A solid little burger joint in Market Square. Not nearly as good as the hype that it has received. Went on a Sunday at lunch and was seated immediately. The restaurant itself is nothing special, kind of plain and honestly kind of small. Our food was good with no complaints. Service was great. I wouldn’t say it’s the best burger in town by any means, but worth a try if you’re interested.

This was a delight for this indiana native. Food was large in proportion and absolutely delicious for pub food. Burger was great. The onion rings and fries were so so good! The girls loved the smooth bourbon and brews. Ps. The fried pickles were the best I ever had. Crispy thin and the ranch dip was the best!

Stock & Barrel is an absolute gem! The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and clearly crafted with care. Really is the best burger around! What really blew me away was their incredible bourbon selection—easily one of the best I’ve seen. The staff was amazing too: friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. It’s definitely worth the wait to eat or drink here.

Burger size portions were enough to share. Old Fashioned was a nice fit for a burger. 100s of burning to select and a variety of burgers for any dietary preference. You can even upgrade your burger meat selection to bison or change to gluten-free bun.

A cozy and charming spot for lunch in downtown Knoxville, right in the heart of Market Square. The service was warm and friendly, which really added to the experience. The food, however, could have been better. I ordered the chicken and waffles—the waffles were fine, but the chicken was overly crispy, almost burnt. I’ve had much better versions of this dish elsewhere. That said, the atmosphere and hospitality made it a pleasant visit overall.

During a quick trip to Knoxville, a local recommended Stock & Barrel. Their website has a get in line, which is a must. The place is small with a bar on one side and tables across from the bar. I was really excited for the Duck fries, but it was not as flavorful as I thought it would be. We ordered two burgers medium rare, and both were well done. The food was okay. But to be fair, all the restaurants we went to in the area the food was bland.

Excellent burger. The "Shroomin" burger was flavorful and well-crafted. Juicy patty, perfectly sautéed mushrooms, and fresh ingredients made for a satisfying bite. Highly recommend for mushroom lovers.

We were looking for a good burger in downtown Knoxville. We definitely found that here! Super cool restaurant in the downtown area. Great selection of bourbon too! Selection of different burgers here is inside amazing combinations both burgers that the wife and I got were amazing! She got the tomato salad, and I got onion rings. Onion rings were huge and tickly, battered and very tasty We sat on the patio in the service was great. Overall, a great experience we will be back.

We had an incredible lunch at Stock & Barrel--this place lives up to the hype. I had The Bernie beef burger, and it instantly earned a spot in my top 10 burgers of all time. The flavor combo was wild in the best way: blue cheese crumbles, thick bacon, beer-battered fried jalapeños, blueberry preserves, and a perfectly cooked beef patty that really stole the show. The onion rings were massive and perfectly crisp--definitely worth adding to your order. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, clearly a local favorite based on the crowd, though we were lucky enough to grab a table right away on a weekday afternoon. My wife went with the Deadhead veggie burger (black bean and quinoa) with cheddar, avocado, and garlic aioli. She loved it--great flavor and texture, even for a non-meat option. There's an extensive bourbon selection for those looking to sip something strong, but we kept it casual this time around. Overall, we both highly recommend Stock & Barrel--a must-visit if you're in the area.

Stock & Barrel is an overall solid restaurant in the Knoxville downtown area and is worth going for mostly the bourbon selection and the food as a secondary highlight. We arrived around 6:30PM on a sunday night and were told a 15 minute wait, very convenient to go walk around Downtown quickly. The inside is warmly lit with yellow lights with the decor using dominantly darker woods to really sell the burger bar & hardier liquors vibe, yet they still manage to keep it clean. Our waiter for the night's name is Sam, he was very attentive. Refilled waters quickly, suggested great bourbons and informative on them too. The bourbon flights are worth it no matter what, if you build it or choose one of their premade ones it's good. The restaurant seems to know their stuff and have a great selection, with bourbons that have massive arrays of flavor notes whether smokey, fruity, woody etc. Please get one. Everything that we ordered food wise had huge portions to it, you can easily feed a family of 4 for sub $100 here. Maybe $70 or less without bourbon if you don't feel like drinking. We ordered two starters: Crispy Shrooms & Spicy Crab Dip. The mushrooms were really boring, the Honey Mustard Drizzle didn't really add any flavors to the mushroom and tasted primarily of honey and barely, if any, mustard flavor. The Spicy Crab dip has a very mild spice to it but lacked the quantity of crab but was very cheesy and creamy, more of a cheese dip than crab. I'd say both are not worth ordering again. We ordered and shared two burgers: The Steakhouse Burger with Duck Fat Fries & The Bison Burger with Onion Rings. First of all the duck fat fries are not worth the price for its own plate or an upgrade(+$3 charge), the fries aren't fried in duck fat but only tossed in it with parm & scallions. The aroma of the duck doesn't really ring through and just makes the fries oily and soggy. The "Garlic Aioli" on the side of it doesn't have as rich of a garlic flavor to make it worth it either. The Onion Rings are good though, especially without an extra charge, crispy and the onions are really sweet and don't fall out of the ring. The Bison Burger, ordered medium, came out medium well, a little dry but the boursin cheese and ranch really helped it out. The burger has the nice creamy tang from the cheese and ranch, backed by the meaty mushrooms and an interesting grassy flavor in the bison. The crispy onions were soggy because they sat in sauce, adding soft batter, would've preferred grilled onions. That same issue was less present in the Steakhouse Burger. The steakhouse burger was cooked to a proper medium and the meat was really juicy. The crispy onions actually held their crisp better and the A1 sauce adds a tangy acidity, for my taste slightly too much A1 but it is certainly interesting. The buns are actually softer and fluffier than they appear in photos and do well to keep the burger stable. Definitely willing to try other burgers because some flavors are interesting. Overall, I would go again but probably for the atmosphere and bourbon, the burgers are pretty good, starters felt like a ripoff, and the sides are actually decent. Stock & Barrel is worth going again to try some interesting toppings on burgers, but it's mostly the drinks.

Causal bar and grill located on the Market Square. Due to the wait time for a table (at 8pm on a Tuesday night) we opted to sit at the bar. Service was pretty good due to the two young ladies working it. I ordered the Bernie burger with a split order of house cut fries and onion rings. Ordered my burger cooked medium. I appreciate they're not using premade burger patties. My burger was cooked at medium with a few spots at medium rare but it was very little so I was ok with it. The blueberry preserve on the burger did little for it, as it didn't have much of a taste. I did enjoy the blue cheese mixed with the fried jalapeno slices. The fries and onion rings were really good. I'm glad she asked if it wanted the split order and there wasn't an up charge for it. Overall I would definitely g

So my daughter really wanted a burger and we searched up on Google the best burger in Knoxville and this place popped up. They were extremely busy. So we were able to sit at the bar in about 15 minutes. my daughter and I decided to share the bison burger after seeing how huge their burgers are. It was very good but we both felt a little sick to the stomach after because it was just so heavy/Greasy. But I did taste amazing. The fries were just OK. The lady next to us said that she wished she split her burger with her husband because it was so much food

Three words: DUCK. FAT. FRIES!!! After tasting these, you absolutely do NOT need to order fries with your burger cus those regular fries will never be able to compare lol. The bison burger was very juicy and good too! This is a cute spot to grab food with friends and just hang out. Beware of the long wait time during busy hours though.

Enjoyed our dinner here while visiting the campus on a non football weekend. Great location and always busy. They don't take reservations, but do offer getting on wait list in advance online. Recommend checking in when you get there as they need confirmation that you are there too. They offer inside and outside seating. The inside is small. But, worth the wait as the food is very good. I recommend trying one of there specialty burgers or fried chicken. The onion rings are out of the world as well as their fries are like board walk style fries. It is worth the wait too, you can walk around as they will text you when your table is ready.

The casual vibe on a night before a UT game is vibing!!! The food is delicious and the drinks are yummy if you like bourbon. The online waitlist is so puzzling. We were walking to the restaurant and were 5 minutes away and online they stated there was no wait. When we arrived we were told there was a 40 minute wait?!?! We opted to put our name in for a party of 3 and walked around to shop the boutiques. The real time waiting service kept jumping to 20 minutes then 50 minutes then 5 min. We could not understand what was happening. Finally got a table after awkwardly standing in the doorway for an extra 10 minutes. Very strange but worth the wait- imo, settle in and be flexible.

Staff was very friendly. Interior is a little on the cramped side. It is just a small area that they try to make the best of. Burgers were good. The Pattie was cooked to order, I hate an over cooked burger. However, the bacon cheese burger only had one slice of bacon. Should bring condiments to the table as there was no mustard on the burger and waitress wasn't visible to ask. Fries were not great, they were probably fresh cut but they were not crispy. I really didn't bother eating them.

Great burgers & onion rings! Lower stars because of- seating was too crowded (very close to our dining neighbors), a sticky layer of grime on the table & wall beside us, a very lackluster/disappointing wine list

We went on a Tuesday and it was so packed! They had us seated immediately which was fantastic. The service was really slow. I think our server was overwhelmed or new. I got the mushroom burger and my friend got the salmon burger. It took 45 mins for our food to come and it was cold. My fries were so cold they were hard. I see the hype of why people like this place cause my burger would have been really good if it was hot or even warm. My friends salmon burger was extremely fishy and I know.. it's salmon and it's fish but it was too much and it didn't taste very fresh. Bathrooms are disgusting and definitely not a place you'd want to go if you're trying to have a relaxing dinner.

Such a filling meal! Had a burger with onion rings and fries, started with the fried pickle. Talk about a carb overload. Definitely loved the blue cheese and sweet flavor that was in this burger. The fried pickles were just right. The waitress was awesome with my ice tea refills. I don't love the shared seats across one wall so they lost a star for the seating arrangements, but food was definitely good.

We made pit stop on our way back from Nashville. Never been to Knoxville and wanted to check out the downtown area. After reading yelp reviews about Stick & Barrel we decided to have lunch there. We all ordered burgers and they were outstanding! You had a choice of fries or onion rings both were delicious. Burgers were cooked to perfect temperature and so juicy. They were stacked so high you could barely get them in your mouth. lol Cute place with lovely bar. Service was great. Highly recommend if you love burgers like I do.

They have a REALLY good burger here! I ordered a burger bunless but there are gluten free buns and I got fries. The meat has a GREAT flavor. We did not love the atmosphere in here. It's LOUD and you feel like everyone is sitting on top of each other. Definitely not a great place to visit.

This is the place to be if you want to watch women's college bowling. I did not know it existed and rather than watch the NBA playoffs. I watch strike after spare after strike. Women's bowling especially women's college bowling has come a long way. Thanks to the Stick and Barrel for sharing their love of women's college bowling. The burger was great and so were the beers, but the women's college bowling is what earned the five stars.

Great burger selection! And the most bourbon choices I have seen in a very long time. Our server Delaney did a wonderful job taking care of us

Listen you can't go wrong with this restaurant phenomenal burgers and got to get the duck fat fries you will not regret it in my top 2 for burgers

Food was fair. Portion sizes were plentiful but presentation was lacking, I was expecting a flavorful combination of toppings (onions, tomato jam, goat cheese, and bacon) to complement the burger but the small dollop size was not enough to be noticeable. The beef and bun dominated. The onion rings were delicious. I wished I had a full order, not 50/50 with fries. The fries were over cooked and consisted of little dry, brown nibs. The expo line should not have allowed that plate to exit the kitchen. Service was poor. Our waitress, Carlie, seemed to hate her job. She never smiled and acted put out that she had to serve us and the surrounding tables. She checked back with us soon after our food arrived. Our drink glasses were empty when she walked by us a few times, never thinking to refill them, Finally she stopped to ask how we were doing and asked if we needed anything! Yes, refills of our drinks. We should not need to ask. Our empty plates remained on the table, not pre-bused. She eventually brought the bill but never asked if we wanted dessert or anything else. The dishes remained on the table. I proceeded to stack them at the end of the table. Finally another server picked up the stack and walked off. Ambiance was appropriate for the style of the restaurant. I will not return. The experience was not worth the price.

Great dinner. Got a table in about 20 minutes. Service was friendly and quick and the food was good. Fries were very salty but still good. Onion rings were huge. Small place so you are pretty close to the table next to you. Bathroom was a bit dingy. All in all we enjoyed ourselves. Lots of interesting things on the menu. I'd come back.

This is my favorite place to get a burger and mixed drink when I'm in town. Not only do they amazing selection of bourbon & whiskey and quality beer on tap, they have a great burger menu with some very interesting combinations of flavors. The service is good, though sometimes you feel like they need more of everything: tables, staff, room. This is not a big place but they can accommodate couples as well as parties of 5 or 6.

Easily a top 10 burger for us. Super flavorful patty, toppings perfectly complemented the burger. My favorite was the blue cheese + blueberry (loved the sweet+salty and beer battered pepper), his was the blue cheese fondue. The onion rings were also thick, beer battered perfection and the duck fries were delicious. Our waitress was also such a sweet human being, very charming :) Hope to come back.

We love this place! The hamburgers are amazing. They taste great with quality ingredients! The staff is super friendly and professional.

The best burger in Knoxville. The duck fat fries are amazing. Classic bacon is a go to. Service is always great and supplies you with all the different dipping sauces

Wish we lived closer to Knoxville! I'd been here for lunch while in town for work and wow! I remembered it just the way it tasted the first time! We were in town for the K-2 volleyball tournament and I had spoken so highly about y'all to my wife! I had the Ring of fire burger with 1/2 fires 1/2 onion rings! It didn't disappoint! My wife and daughter both had burgers and moved them!

We enjoyed our time at Stock and Barrel. We stopped in for drinks and they made an awesome Old Fashioned which my fella loved. Service was great and everyone made us feel right at home. Definitely on our list to come back and have burgers!

Gyro burger is not on the menu but if you can order it, highly recommend. I asked for the chefs choice for a burger and that's what they brought me. Well done Stock & Barrel. Atmosphere is good. Tuesday night was kinda quiet.

Must go!! We ate here passing through 2-3 times in the past few years. The joint is right next to a parking garage which is convenient and keeps your car cool in the summer. We get the duck fat fries and two different burgers each time and it's AMAZING. We always talk about going back and look forward to the next time we eat here. Great service and friendly staff. It's dark and intimate and inside which is nice for a date night.

Rounding up from a 3.5. Stopped here a free being recommended by a friend as a good place to watch a playoff game. Room at the bar so we sat ourselves and the bartender gave us great service the entire evening. Interior was cozy, not much room for seating so on a busy night be prepared to wait. Rustic vibes and quick service definitely made up for any potential lags in service (we didn't experience but I can see how I'm busy season that might not be the case). Got the Elvis and the classic bacon. Both burgers had great flavor and the fries were awesome!! Elvis burger wasn't my favorite but it was really well made and definitely something to try once. Overall a good spot to grab a beer and a burger.

A lil crowded even when not that full. But truly an enjoyable experience. Good drinks, great food.

Very welcoming and attentive bar staff but unfortunately disrespectful host staff. My family and I were looking forward to spending an evening eating and celebrating graduation weekend here since we had come here before and loved it. We were extremely disheartened to experience unprofessional and petty behavior by the hostess. The bar staff made up for it due to their exceptional service and attitudes. We love their food, but be wary of the host stand.

Delicious burgers with great flavor combinations. Waitress was friendly and kids Enjoyed the s'mores shake

Probably the best onion rings on the planet and a really good bison burger, cooked perfectly and easy to customize.

We stopped here on the way to Nashville and I'm SO happy we did! This seems to be a popular restaurant in Knoxville, it was pretty busy when we visited at 230pm on a Monday! Even with the restaurant being as busy as it was, we still received our food very fast. I got the mother clucker chicken sandwich. Let me tell you, this was the best chicken sandwich I've ever had! If I lived here I'd be eating at this restaurant all the time.

Fantastic burger place that you must go to while in downtown Knoxville. You will not be disappointed! And they have options for vegetarians as well. It is a small place so you may have to wait, but it is absolutely worth it.

The duck fries were absolutely amazing. The burgers were definitely interesting and seemed like there was a flavor for everyone- it was actually almost hard to choose. Price was reasonable as well. Drink menu was a touch small. Call me crazy but I only gave it 4 stars because the stools at the high table we were at were some of the most uncomfortable chairs ever. All 9 of us ate as fast as we could so we could leave (ages 50's and then late teens early 20's) because we were that uncomfortable.

Stock & Barrel was a real treat for me. Their bourbon selection is expansive, and it pairs so well with their variety of delicious burgers. I tried the Billy, their goat cheese burger, and its sweetness was a perfect match for my neat pour of Blanton's. The place is a bit snug for bigger groups, but it's perfect for a cozy date night or a laid-back lunch with a friend. I'd definitely recommend it and plan on coming back myself. Plus, being on Market Street means there's plenty more to explore afterward, so it's a great starting point for a fantastic night out

The hamburgers were really good. But after waiting to be seated it took another 45min to receive our 2 orders. We ordered 2 hamburgers & 2 waters. The waitress was wonderful. She kept checking on us and apologizing for 45 minutes for a wait for two hamburgers is not worth the time.

The best burger! Love the half fries half onion rings option. We loved our server! A great walking distance as well

Best burgers I have ever had in my life. And the peanut butter pie was to die for. Please stand to get busy so pack your patience. If it's game day you'll be glad you did.

Great food, quick, tasty, and people were friendly! Cool and relaxed building, if it wasn't raining I would have sat outside to see the courtyard.

I am visiting Knoxville and we decided to tried some of the top rated places on yelp. I don't regret about this, I will rate this burger as the best burger I have ever had!!! Every bit was incredibly tasty. I went with my finance and I got the steakhouse burger with fries, this one has mushrooms so if you are a mushroom lover, go for it. and he got the classic one with onion rings. You HAVE to try their onion rings!!!! I love the people working here, our waitress was really nice. He always made sure we were doing ok. He offered us to see the dessert options they had but honestly nothing else after the burgers could fit in our stomach. At the place, you'll find a warm, cozy, good vibing environment. Perfect for a date, for chatting or only to go and enjoy a yummy burger. No joking but I'll come back to Knoxville just to get one of those!!

Bartender was helpful and friendly. When I couldn't decide between fries or onion rings for my side with the burger... she offered to split it up and give me both. Awesome! Burger was good too

GREAT CHOICE after a long day. Insane that it was the number one rated restaurant so I stopped in. I recommend arriving prior to 5:30 if you can. At around 5:45 all the tables in and out were full. I CANNOT wait to return there. If you are anywhere in the vicinity, stop in!!

Uggh, what a let down. My first thought when we walked in was that we should've left. I should've listened to myself. My boyfriend ordered a $45 glass of bourbon , and it was served in a glass that had lipstick on it. We watched the bartender poor the bourbon from the dirty glass into another glass . Yuck ! Our water glasses were so full, I couldn't help but spill it on myself when I tried to drink it. We ordered the duck fat fries for an appetizer and minute later they were on our table, obviously not freshly made orHot!! . Just a basket of sad looking greasy cold potatoes . At this point, we chose not to have dinner there. The couple to our right and to our left, both had their orders wrong. The bathroom trashcan was overflowing. The place just felt gross. The only good thing was our server. Ivey was really nice and made some helpful suggestions about where to go since we were new in town. I definitely want to mention that Ivey was not the person who brought us the cold greasy fries!! I chose this place because my boyfriend recently moved to Knoxville and it's a bourbon lover, but he even said he won't be coming back.

Lots of stuff on burger but quality of beef?? No flavor or just not seasoned???? Was good 2 years ago. The patty should be able to stand alone. :/.

Great ambience, delicious food, quick service. Definitely recommend if you are visiting the Knoxville area and in the mood for a hamburger.

The service here was fantastic and this was easily one of the best burgers I've had in the area. It was so flavorful and juicy. The staff were accommodating, very nice, and professional.

I went to stock & barrel on a Wednesday afternoon & had a great experience! The restaurant was pretty busy when i arrived, but there was no wait. The service was pretty quick too considering how many people were there. The vibe inside was very intimate and southern. It was really cool & I loved with dimmed lights + candles on the tables. The food here was pretty good. I got the steakhouse burger and it was pretty yummy. The sauce really complimented it nicely. The fries were super delicious too. I might try something different next time though, they had such unique options on the menu. The fried pickles were pretty good too. I'm not a pickle guy so I can't speak to much but they were pretty dilly & crunchy. Overall, i had a good experience here. If you love burgers this is a great place to go!
