We visited this restaurant on August 10, 2004 at about 7:00 pm with a party of 5.  This quaint country-style specialty restaurant is located off Parkside Drive and Cedar Bluff in west Knoxville.  Seating is on a first-come first-serve basis, but wait times are typically not too long.  The restaurant specializes in various types of barbeque, fresh water fish, chicken and country cooking.  Seating is at booths and tables in a rustic environment.  For more information about this restaurant, vist their web site at FameousDaves.com.

The food was well prepared and served by a very friendly, courteous, and congenial staff.  This family-style restaurant offers a good variety of southern cooking in large, fresh, and flavorful proportions.  This specialty restaurant is a good choice for casual dining with family and friends.  Our visit to this establishment was for a birthday celebration.  At the end of our meal we were pleasantly full and had decided not to order desserts; however, after some quite hints from our server we realized that the birthday person would receive a free dessert.  We all shared the free dessert, which was excellent and included a rather impressive sparkler-like candle.
