Lonesome Dove | Knoxville

“Everything we tried was amazing! My husband really enjoyed the unique varieties of offerings (elk, bison & rabbit prepared in different ways). My filet was very tasty as were the lobster hushpuppies, the bowl of Texas Red & the sides we had. Mike our server was great! Our new favorite place in Knoxville!”

“This is an upscale Texas restaurant located in the heart of Knoxville's old city. The menu has a wide variety of game such as elk, bison, rabbit, as well as lamb, beef, chicken and fish. The dishes are very creative. We loved the elk sliders.”

“My partner and I came here to celebrate Valentine’s Day a few days late and it honestly could not have been a better choice. Getting a last minute reservation was surprisingly easy, which already felt like a win. From the second we walked in, we were taken care of. Nick greeted us at the door and immediately set the tone for the night. He was warm, attentive, and genuinely exceptional at what he does. He gave thoughtful recommendations without being pushy and made us feel welcomed, not just seated. Our server, Haas, was just as impressive. Extremely professional, confident with the menu, and clearly knowledgeable about every dish. You can tell when someone actually understands what they’re serving versus just repeating descriptions, and he absolutely knew his stuff. Each course came out at a perfect pace. Nothing rushed, nothing dragged. The food was incredible. Every dish felt intentional and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere was warm and intimate without feeling crowded or loud, which made the night feel even more special. We will absolutely be back and will be recommending this spot to our friends. Thank you, Nick and Haas, for making our Valentine’s celebration feel effortless and unforgettable.”

“Beautifully prepared food, perfectly cooked and seasoned. Every bite is a true delight! The service is impeccable, intuitive, & accommodating. While the atmosphere is dark and cozy, offering ambient light as opposed to anything harsh overhead. Dining isn't rushed. They make you feel welcomed and truly at home. Perfect spot for a special night out!”

“Went for the first time for lunch with a friend. We had a "delicious" time. Service had a little hiccup, but recovered well (forgot to bring our side out with entrée, it came out after we had begun eating our entrées) My only real issue I would say, that it was exceptionally cold in the restaurant that day. It is obviously a pricey, but they have a lovely prime rib for a great lunch price.”
