I was in from out of town. I googled best steak in Knoxville. Lonesome Dove populated as #1 result. I arrived at 9:20pm to get the tomahawk ribeye they had as their specialty. In Google maps they have the restaurant closing at 10pm.... I walked in and all 3 bar tenders stated....we closed the kitchen at 9:15pm. Sorry. I stated, oh ok, I thought it said you close at 10pm (45 min from now). Yea, we'll serve you a drink but our kitchen is closed.
I visited every possible restaurant that served a good cut of steak in the vicinity from 9:20 to 10pm....all stated...sorry, kitchen is closed.... long before there advertised time.
However, I finally walked in Skybox sports bar at 10:04.... knowing that they probably didn't have that nice cut of steak I was craving....and STACY the bar tender welcomed me, said come on in, have a seat, would you like something to eat? I'm sitting here eating their lamb chops and Stacy is gonna get a tip bigger than what she probably made all night.
Long story short, if you're in from out of town and looking for some good food and a staff that appreciates your business (passed 9pm)...just head straight to SkyBox sports bar.
