"This is one of the best in downtown Knoxville! From the service from the bar and the atmosphere. Drinks are fun and made well!! Food is delicious! Spicy rigatoni… Cheeseburgers… And crispy half chicken. All was amazing! My only regret is I didn't get a picture of the onion dip with the homemade kettle chips which is something not to miss."

"Went there on a Monday evening without a reservation. Was able to get a table for 2 after about 30 minutes. The service was good. Waiter was attentive and food came out about 10-15 minutes after ordering. As an appetizer, we got some bacon wrapped thing. Dates maybe? Idk. It was really good though. We got their house burger and their special ET Mushroom pizza. The burger and fries were excellent. Probably one of the best burgers in town. The pizza was really good, but they do not mess around on mushrooms. It was super mushroomy, which is great if that is your thing. But if you are indifferent to mushrooms, you might not like any of their mushroom dishes. All the dishes we got were under 20$ each, so it isn't terribly expensive. I think the most expensive thing in the menu was their steak which was around $50. I look forward to coming back."

"I couldn't recommend The Kennedy enough. The food was excellent, and the interior was elegant and classy. It was very busy, and I highly advise booking ahead of time. Perfect for all sorts of occasions, dinner and lunch. I specifically recommend the crispy half chicken, including perfectly cooked chicken, whipped mashed potatoes, and brussels sprouts. Our service was okay, our server didn't come very often. Overall I would definitely go to The Kennedy again."

"I had higher expectations for an $11 cup of French onion soup—it was just okay. We were told the pizza included Benton’s bacon, but I don’t think we got a single piece. That said, the pizza crust was excellent and easily the highlight of what we ordered. Service was good overall. We were told there was a 45-minute wait without reservations, even though several tables were empty when we arrived and some still empty when we left. We ended up eating at the bar, which was fine, but the situation was a bit confusing. I’m glad we decided to just get a few small bites. In the end, we found ourselves back at our regular spot, Tomato Head—reliable as always."

"Had a great night at the Kennedy for my birthday this month. We came in kind of close to their closing time (their time isn't correct on Google) and sat at the bar. The bartender Kim was great, he didn't rush us at all, and made us some awesome drinks. The Wagyu burger was fantastic. This stop was a perfect way to end the night."
