Puleo's Grille Reviews

I am an over the road truck driver and have eaten at restaurants in all 48 lower states. This is by far a must stop and try. Portions are great the atmosphere is amazing and the service is perfect. Anytime I am in the area I will be stopping and enjoying an amazing meal. A special shout out to Johnny for the out of this world service!

The absolute best service and food I have ever received. Friendly staff and awesome food. I drive all over the country for a living but this place is the one I look forward to stopping at. If you're traveling they understand the rigors of the road and know you just want a good meal good drinks to let the tiredness of the day go. Amazing is all know to say. Would give them 10 stars if it were possible!

Food was good and prices were reasonable. The waitress did a great job.

The food is always awesome!!! Fairly reasonably priced. There are always specials of the day that are not on the menu. The staff is always friendly, courteous and give the best service. The menu consists of Italian entrees, seafood, burgers, and down home country cooking. The fried pickles and fried green tomatoes are the best in town.

Excellent Food, great Service and great Atmosphere!

John was our server and was awesome. Highly recommend their $8 Fiesta Salad on lunch menu.

First time there, very good food and excellent servit

Never knew a Italian Restaurant, could cook such,a mouth watering ,delicious steak!!!!! Need bigger portions on the mash potatoes, though.

Cajun salmon, gooooood, tasted hubbys scallops, gooooooood, service was good, prices good. Will. definitely be back. Just wanted whole grain bread B4 meal.

My go to eatery everytime I stay in Knoxville. The Bloody Mary's are wonderful & the steak is tender & tasty.

What happened to Puleos??? The quality was not there this time. It was disappointing.

Truck driver stopped at Pilot and walked accross..so worth it ! Awesome food!

We eat here three to four times a year while traveling and the have never disappointed us. They have a courteous staff. The restaurant is clean and well-maintained the prices are average for a sit-down restaurant.

I was tired from driving with my 2 children. We were hungry, irritable and possibly smelly and let me tell you...LOVED all the staff! Menu is amazing and the cuisine satisfied us on so many levels!

First time going here. Won't be the last. Great tasting comfort food and professional wait staff. Excellent experience. Tasty local beer!!

Great place for a great meal. Our family had chicken florentine, chicken Palermo, seafood ravioli and fish & chips (kids meal). All the dishes were very good. Highly recommend this place for a nice meal especially when traveling through as the Strawberry Fields location is very convenient to I-40.

If you are passing through and looking for a place to relax and enjoy a fantastic meal, you'll be doing a gigantic disservice to yourself by not stopping here. The food is amazing and the staff is incredible. I'll be coming back every chance I get. Very close to a Pilot if you're a trucker like me. Thanks for the service guys, you were amazing.

Over priced for the quality food you get. I've had better for half the price . The silverware was spotted, , salt and pepper grinders where dirty. Other than that, Great service, clean restrooms.

Ordered through Bite twice and both timrdmy order was wrong. Does no one check the order to see if it's correct? How hard is that? Never again.

Great atmosphere, wait staff was terrific and the food was fast, delicious and plentiful. Would go back every chance I had!

If your looking for something new to try this is definitely a place to stop. My girlfriend and I stopped by out of curiosity, and after vigorously staring down the menu we decided on Cajun grilled salmon and Italian broiled shrimp. The food was amazing we couldn't believe how good the sauce was, we even started dipping our veggies into it, it was that good. The service was great as well, we had a really friendly woman named Cassandra who was taking care of two very large parties in addition to us and yet she still made sure to routinely stop in and check on us.

Very good. I like something different, never tried before. They have plenty of new items.

Enjoyed their turkey and dressing! Special going on now until August. Italian and Comfort food are half price.

Puleo's was an unexpected delight. My wife and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. The servers were friendly and helpful.

The food was good. The portions were hearty. You have to try the the crispy asparagus. I split the ribs and chicken plate with my wife. They fell off the bone tender. The chicken breast was juicy. Did I mention the $3.00 margarita.

A lovely quiet meal for my lady and me. Started off with fried green tomatoes, which are spectacular with the 2 gravies. Pizza with authentic italian sausage and real mozzarella for me, fantastic taste. She got the turkey and stuffing. Said it was like a hug from grandma. And as always, phenomenal service! We will most definitely be back

Got in late from a road trip and they were closing in 15 minutes, but still sat me down. Had some good food and and a tasty Margarita. Very friendly staff to boot!

This is our 2nd visit here as we pass through on our road trip from FL to WI. We purposely stay nearby to have dinner here!! So Delicious!
So Friendly! Excellent service! Can t wait to try another entree next time. All have been outstanding. I don t think you can go wrong here. Thanks!!

Great $5 lunch deal. It's hard to beat. You are now on my daily lunch rotation. Fab Friday at Puleo's

Traveling through TN on to Arkansas & Oklahoma. Right beside our hotel is this restaurant Puleo's Grille. My husband goes in and orders and bring the food back to the room. OMG!!! IT WAS AWESOME!! I can tell my husband's pork chop and side dishes were great because there was little conversation and EVERYTHING WAS GONE!! I had a grilled chicken (so juicy) with Florentine sauce (spinach and artichoke), mashed potatoes and greens!!
Excellent dishes!! If you haven't experienced these dishes you need to make it mandatory to come over here and make your tastebuds HAPPY!!

My husband & I ate there last night & enjoyed our ribeye steaks but only after sending one back...ordered a medium & a medium rare, both came rare, almost blue rare...but was remedied quickly. The steaks were heavily peppered, something I don't care for but my husband loves...I would suggest the chef let the diners season their steaks. The service was great & the manager checked in with us, very attentive service. We will come again but order no pepper on the steaks...

Good fresh cooked food. Ahi tuna tacos were excellent.

Awesome kale salad with salmon, yummy home made dressing... hickory grilled salmon was also a hit, excellent!!!

Terrible food. We had Puleo s Grille Chicken Parmesan: Not enough sauce on the stuff chicken, noodles did not have enough sauce on them and were dry, and the favor had a lot to be desired. Spaghetti and Meatballs with meat sauce: Noodles were dry (not enough sauce on them), Meatballs tasted like just meat with no flavoring. Only good thing was the SMALL SALADS. Waiter offered boxes but did not ask why I didn t want to take it home. I SHOULD HAVE ASKED FOR THE MANAGER. WISHED I HAD. Was warned not to eat there. Should have listened.

You hosted us for our professional association's monthly meeting and provided us a great place for our members to present, discuss, and meet while we had great food and service.

First time eating there and it was way better than we thought it was going to be. Good way great very good.

Great place conveniently located just off the I 40. Pleasant and attentive staff. Salads are generous and the dressings are tasty. Nice variety of entrees cooked to perfection. Love the spaghetti and meatballs. The fish and chips and salmon are also excellent choices. Oh, and the prime rib is definitely worth trying. If you save room the desserts are a nice ending to a super meal. Good prices. We always enjoy our visit!

Very nice people, good prices and diverse menu. Excellent

Wonderful, wonderful. I have been eating at this establishment for several years and have always found the food and service exceptional.

Excellent burgers and other food as well as good service. Wish it was closer to where we live.

Always great food, great service, and easy access to the interstate and quick !

I've elevated the rating just because it exceeds expectations

Be careful better pay cash than with credit card because they add more charges on your credit card after few days,, manager told me my bill was 77.51 I handed them my paypal card and they charged me 77.51 ,, but some days later they charged me 87.51 on my paypal I have started dispute with paypal.

Beyond delicious. Staying in town for a night and I m beyond amazed !! Cannot believe the great quality of food. Mike thank you for the great service.

Awesome dining experience. One of the nicest places around.

Family gathering today. Had fried asparagus, fried green tomatoes with stone ground grits, gravy and tomato jam and other entrees as there were 11 of us. Food was served hot and fresh. Waiter did an excellent job keeping track of what was ordered and replenishing our drinks.

Great food, outstanding service, and reasonable prices. Pork chop and chicken are exceptional.

Had the chicken parmesan and it was great. Food came out quickly and all four orders were accurate. Service was excellent as well. Would definitely recommend this location.

Great service excellent dinner. Thanks for keeping it simple.

My first visit was very nice! I feel like they earned 5 stars in every category.

No wait on a Sunday evening. Service was nice and food was a nice surprise. We ordered a variety of items with the kids pizza being just ok to everything else was delicious. They had nice lunch specials according to the menu. Their Bloody Mary wasnt special but it was solid.

Food was very good!! I'll be coming back for sure. Wait staff very friendly and helpful.

Bartender nice and Fried Green Tomatoes are always on par!

Omg. So Delicious. Steak was unbelievably awesome. Hands down one of the best we've ever had. House salad was also so fresh and so good. The whipped sweet potato omg honestly tasted like a cream of heaven no but seriously like a whipped pumpkin pie. Omg I give this place like 50 stars. We will be back

Chicken Piccata was very good and large portion. Wife had Black and Blue Wedge Salad very good.

Great Menu. I had the Spaghetti and Meatballs with a side salad. AWESOME! Good sweet tea too! Be sure to eat here for a 5 star experience

Got hungry traveling back from my daughters college and stopped at Puleo's Grille. Loved it, great food, great service, and great adult beverages.

This place is excellent even thought I am able to come up with a few improvements. First, the hostess and my waitress, Alicia, could not be any more friendly. Alicia was very attentive and did not leave me waiting for anything. The fried green tomatoes were awesome but I would have preferred them to be thicker. Quite frankly, I have never seen slices so thin and am almost impressed that they were able to slice them. The seafood ravioli was a little overcooked but otherwise excellent. They came in a sauce that makes you just want to drink it. Finally, the chocolate lasagna was sublime. My big issue with it was that with every bite I thought about how I really needed to go on a diet.

Clean, wonderful food and excellent service! Katrina was our waitress and she was awesome! The shrimp and grits were outstanding!
