The Plaid Apron A Knoxville Café

Great neighborhood farm to table restaurant with fresh local ingredients and interesting southern themed selections. Pleasant outdoor dining in good weather and nice indoors too. Definitely worth a visit.

Such promise....but Came for breakfast and was underwhelmed Service: Super slow and inattentive had to practically beg to pay the bill. Food: Grits were oddly sour and way too savory, Biscuit was underbaked and bitter, Toast was dry, and just one crazy thick slice for $3. The Bakery had no offerings. Eggs and bacon were as expected, so at least they were good. Very overpriced. Sadly, do not recommend.

The breakfast here was fantastic. I don't like grits but I keep trying to find a place that will change that and it finally happened, I finished the whole bowl. Staff was friendly and there was plenty of parking! If I lived in Knoxville this would be a regular stop!

This was my first visit to the Plaid Apron. The food, ambiance and service were all very good. There was five of us for Brunch. Two of us had the Gluten Free (GF Almond pancakes and three had the hash. There were also sides of Applewood Bacon, Cheese Grits, and Cinnamon Rolls. The food was very good. I loved all of it (we shared across the table. and the servers were extremely good and helpful! I highly recommend it. We arrived around 1:00 pm and had no wait. We will definitely visit again!

The Hash was Supa Dupa. Great ensemble of flavors! If you want some ole skool tea, this is your spot. And the cinnamon role.....sigh....yep, it's worth the cheat. The service was better than all the food. Probably made it better.
