Smilin Jack's Cafe - Knoxville

Awesome food!! Everyone is so sweet and the desserts are amazing. Can't go wrong with Chicken and Dumplings. Yummy

Well, we gave this place another go around and it just was bad on so many levels. Service was good, food......not so. Burgers tasted frozen, store bought, and way overcooked. I would suggest putting at least a grill out back to char broil. Cheese was lost in there somewhere. Bread and veggies were fresh. Wife had a fish sammy, though not fried had a potato store bought mushy taste. Desert was good , now that was homemade.UPDATE: There were only 2 young girls present last nite, what entire staff?? Owner was NOT there. They asked how I liked the food and all I said was it was just Okay. That was not rude or disrespectful in any way. I was just giving an honest review.UPDATE: I said nothing about the service or the teenager who waited on us. You need to read these reviews more carefully. And if you did the cooking? You need to hire a real cook. And if you were really there, the cashier wouldn't of been crouched down by the register texting while customers were waiting to pay there bill.

The food was okay and the server was friendly. When we were told they had Pepsi products we ordered tea which is no big deal. After tasting the tea, I'm pretty sure it was instant. Boo. We ordered burgers but they don't have fries so we paid $2 to upgrade the chips to potato salad. Who doesn't serve fries with burgers? Now the reason we probably won't be back, the prices for a mediocre meal were steep. I kept thinking of all the other places we could have went to for a $45 meal (including tip). Again, the food was okay but the prices are not in line with other comparable restaurants.

First time in. Great food! Friendly staff! My husband refers to me as the pickiest eater on earth, but I found at least three different sandwiches I wanted to try. I had the Snowbird, and I will be back to have it again!?

Awesome restaurant!! Wonderful service, food and dessets! '
