Chipotle and Chick-Fil-A are great, but sometimes you need to stray from the norm. Here are five restaurants in Knoxville that you may not have heard of, but you should most certainly make them your dinner destination sometime very soon.
1. Tupelo Honey Cafe
This quaint restaurant is located in Market Square in downtown Knoxville. It is the perfect spot to go for breakfast, lunch or dinner. They have the best biscuits that are served with blueberries for extra sweetness. A popular entree is the ENORMOUS chicken and waffles. Seriously, you won't finish it.
2. Gus' Fried Chicken

3. Stefano's
If you are on the hunt for some great Chicago-style pizza, Stefano's is the place to go. Located on Cumberland Avenue on the strip right near U.T.'s campus, it is in a great location. On Tuesdays from 11-2, they have an unlimited buffett of pizza! What's better than that?4. Stock and Barrel
This bar-style restaurant is located in Market Square downtown. Serving giant burgers and several different kings of bourbon and beer, you can't go wrong with this place. The Farmer's Burger is an excellent try if you are in search of a great burger.5. Soccer Taco
