The Grill at Highlands Row Reviews

Outstanding service ....the food was very well prepared ...highly recommend

This place has amazing burgers. I really enjoyed the atmosphere a prices and service. The wine list was stellar and the quality of the food is choice. Grass-fed is the way to go.

We went in a party of eight for a friend's birthday. The place looks nice, and the service was good. It was overall, a nice place with a good atmosphere. My complaints are mostly about the food. Some of the food we had was amazing. Some of it was terrible. Overall, I have to rate it poorly on that account.

Some foods that were outstanding: the smoked gouda grits, the fire roasted corn. Other members in our party got the fish special and raved about it. The bread was good, and paired well with the flavored butter that it came with.

Some things that were not good: three of us tried the macaroni and cheese, and it was unanimously disliked. The Caesar salad was done in with a big splash of presentation that made it decidedly less palatable to me. It used hole leaves from romaine hearts, each drizzled with a slight amount of their Caesar dressing. There was one crouton, off to the side. The Parmesan cheese was melted into a disk that was placed on the salad. It was tough to cut and eat with the salad. Overall, it was just more work than it was worth.

My wife and I both ordered medium-rare steaks, but different cuts. I got the bone-in "cowgirl" cut, which was on special, and my wife ordered one from the menu. My wife's steak was cooked to her liking, but apparently not seasoned at all. This may appeal to the steak purists out there, but we prefer a little flavor. She opted not to finish it. My steak, on the other hand, was absolutely terrible. First, it was woefully undercooked. I'd call it seared, rather than rare. It was still very cool and dark purple in the center. The cut itself was a bad one, and not worth the premium price I paid. It was full of gristle and fat. And just like my wife's steak, it was entirely unseasoned.

Taken all together, I think I'd pass on eating here again. If you're going, I'd suggest staying away from the steaks and try something else.

Love the grits! Good place for brunch and there are plenty of tasty options on the menu. Went once with a group of about twenty for a birthday party and had great service! Decent bar as well.

Great service is imperative in a top tier restaurant. The Grill At Highlands Row has the best service I have experienced at any restaurant in this city. Complement that with imaginative Southern recipes and you have the formula for a perfect evening. I want to try every item on their menu because every one I have tried so far has exceeded my expectations. I recently returned from a visit to Charleston, SC and I would compare my experience at The Grill At Highlands Row with my dining experience at Husk. Southern at its best!

What a GREAT place to have dinner or just have a drink with a friend!! Truly a Knoxville Gem!!! I love the cozy atmosphere with the big fireplace. The service and people are always friendly & accommodating. The specials have a unique twist to them and the steaks and menu items are always delicious! It is one of our favorite restaurants in Knoxville!

Was just so so! Awful Bloody Mary! Tasted like tomato juice and Tabasco! Asked for salted rim... Nothing not even celery! Food was cold and I was brought the wrong entree. With all the great restaurants in Knoxville.... I wouldn't waste my time or my money at this one!
