This is another gem of a restaurant. The burgers are awesome and the onion rings my mouth waters just thinking of it. Why did I wait so long to finally try this place. Just go but be prepared for waits unless you time your visit right we were there right at opening and cruised right in.

Our family loves the burgers at Litton's. They're top notch and cooked to your wishes. My wife loves the Grilled Chicken Salad; and my granddaughter chose Litton's as the venue for her Birthday Dinner last year. They also serve seafood and steaks, as well as sandwiches, and specialty items. You can find something to please your entire party. Their desserts... More

The hamburgers are huge and the deserts are wonderful. They are always rated the best hamburgers and deserts in Knoxville. Clean nice atmosphere. If you are around the Fountain City area you should stop by and eat.

Littons I feel does not get enough great reviews for the quality of food and service! I have been coming here since I was a child and my family has been going to Littons since it opened. Burgers are awesome! Love their chicken salad and clam chowder. Their red velvet and Italian cream cakes are to die for! And I'm... More

This is one busy place. Has a great reputation with locals and business people working downtown K-ville. Better than average food and although the atmosphere is somewhat bland, we keep coming back since it is just plain good, especially for lunch.

Guided here by the Stern's Road Food. The pimento hamburger was interesting, but clearly an acquired taste. One of us had the fish sandwich which consisted of a large filet of fried fish but a bit too salty (we realized, however, we are in the south). Lot of food and good, friendly service. Pie was good. Walls are decorated with... More

We've eaten here many times, and over all it has been good. The burgers are good, I've had better, but for this town, they are good. The problem we've had many times is the wait. Went for a late lunch, after 2pm. I could see there would be a wait, but we signed up anyway. There were several tables available... More

You haven't eaten a hamburger until you've eaten one at Litton's. The best of the best is right here. Even the famous quarterback that wore number 16 and played for The University of Tennessee eats here when he comes to Knoxville. Don't miss it.
