My daughter and her fiance, both vegetarians, came by for a visit, so we took them to Tomato Head. I've heard many great reviews but I was personally not overly impressed. The atmosphere is funky, which is a good think, but the wait staff is funky hipster, which I can't figure out whether or not I like. The food is... More

My husband and I visited Knoxville this past week for both work/vacation. This restaurant is in the Market Square, a quaint and clean little area with wonderful shopping places and food along with a 'stage' for concerts. We got to experience a jazz concert one evening and the Knoxville symphony another. The food here was amazing...we shared a 14" pizza... More

The food is good, it just isn't anything spectacular to stand out. A little pricey for the food and servings we had as well. I hear there is a great brunch, so we may have to try that out in the future. Nothing bad, just nothing that stood out.

The staff that I have encountered (or in one circumstance - not at all) have not been very anxious to help us during our visit or encourage us to come back. High prices and low quantity do not make me want to visit again. Our second attempt at dining at the Market Square Tomato Head had us walking out after... More

This was another unique restaurant in Market Square. It had a diverse menu and a cool atmosphere. I had a "special" vegetarian taco that was great and everyone else loved their meal as well. The peanut butter pie was wonderful!

The food , service, friendliness , and price can't be beat but a little noisy. If you're so in love that you won't notice, or, not in love at all, you'll love this place.

What a great, casual night in Knoxville's Market Square. Our server, Victor, was so patient with us and truly took the time to guide us to the perfect menu options. What a gem!! The food is organic, local and delicious and the service (assuming they are all as fabulous as Victor) is over the top. Great fun casual market square... More

We were traveling through the area and saw this restaurant on TripAdvisor. We found it very frustrating to find, but once there well worth the effort. It is located at Market Square which is a pedestrian only zone. Our GPS was not very helpful and we had to ask someone in order to find the restaurant. Once there though, we... More

Something a little different to try. A little bit of everything on the menu. Pet friendly outside, they even provided water for dogs!
