The staff is nice and friendly. Their food is good. Their milkshakes are AWESOME. I had the pineapple milkshake and the Asian grilled chicken salad there for lunch and was satisfied with my order. They keep the place nice and clean at all times. I also love all the old cool decorations inside the restaurant, especially the singing Elvis statue near the front door.

Delicious food, great service, awesome atmosphere! Highly recommend trying their Deep Fried Pickles, they have the BEST around. Also their Sirloin Steaks are out of this world! We also tried their loaded baked potato soup which was flavorful & delicious.

When you want to find a good restaurant I recommend that you ask a local as I did to find Bel-Air Grill. This is a very popular local favorite Classic Diner. Ask any local they will give this restaurant 5 Stars even though it is a little rough around the edges it is very highly regarded; check the reviews. I only had onion rings (my dinner was being prepared elsewhere on this occasion) which turned out to be a well proportioned serving but I can't rave about these onion rings as they were a bit greasy for this perfectionists taste. Still in all I did ask others about there choices and it was unanimously positive in favor of the house. I will go again and I will guess that I will be impressed as the restaurant has been packing the customers in for 32 years (I think that is what I was told). Enjoy this one! cmilton111 Google Guide 8.12.2023

We were in the area and chose it because my boys were hungry and it was across the street. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I worked in restaurants for years so tend to be a little picky. My boys got Alfredo and chicken tenders. They absolutely loved them, and everything tasted homemade. I didn’t eat at the restaurant, but I got the grilled chicken with a salad and sweet potato to eat at home later. It was delicious. The chicken was still juicy even after reheating it in the microwave. The service was great. It was busy so she wasn’t super chatty, but very friendly and quick. One thing I noticed while I was people watching is that everyone seemed happy and like they came often. I was even more surprised when it came time to pay then found out another table had paid our bill. It was heartwarming and made me feel the small town charm that I had growing up in a tiny town in east texas. We will definitely be back.

This place is so adorable! I love the atmosphere, it's really fun! The food was pretty good, too! I would recommend the Teriyaki Chicken, fried mushrooms and peach lemonade. So tasty! After all that, I had to get a photo op with Elvis, and a lovely waitress offered to take it for me. It's a great experience!

My dad recommended this spot as it has a little something for everyone and it definitely fulfills that role! The menu has some great variety and we chose the fried chicken sandwich and the burger. Both were a great price with great flavor as well. The chicken sandwich was large and had a great crunch and juicy texture. The burger was also delicious with a nice grill char flavor. The fries are not spectacular but they are still very tasty nonetheless! Definitely a good American food restaurant in the Knoxville area.

Our first time coming here and my teriyaki chicken salad was the BEST! My husband had the burger and fries. His burger was very greasy to the point the bun was soggy. The fries were not good, tasted like old grease. The cake was delicious!

I loved this place... the decor was really cool especially for a car guy like myself. The service was amazing - Paige is an awesome waitress. The burger was really good... I had the mushroom and swiss - I added a little steak sauce and that made it perfect. The fries were good kind of like fair fries. This place is really cool and has good food so I would recommend giving them a shot... very reasonably priced also...
