My wife and I went to Connery recently for a birthday dinner. We had eaten there previously and enjoyed the experience and food. Unfortunately this time it did not go so well. The big complaint is all the salt they put on all the food....It was very excessive on everything including the Caesar salad. The manager said they season the food aggressively. They definitely do that. The steak tho was cooked very well although very salty and the dessert was good. The server wasn’t that interested in being there it seemed like. She even took our butter off the table before we were done with our bread. It will be a while before we try this place again after this experience.More

Arrived at 7:15 on time for our reservation for 4, finally served our food at 8:45...really sad for this once wonderful and proud restaurant. During the 1.5 hr wait we were rarely visited by our waitress and when the food did arrive the filet was...under cooked and barely warm...the crab cakes were sent back. Have previously dined at Connors many times since it's opening and this was a thorough disappointment. Will look for other options next time in Knoxville.More

Excellent dining options with generous sides and good desserts. We enjoyed the German chocolate cake and ice cream and the hose salads (enough to share) and steaks cooked to order. Service very good and plenty of parking.

Poor service and steak wasn't worth what I was charged. I've had better service at Texas Roadhouse and steak and definitely way cheaper.

Arrived a little late but hostess was very gracious and seated us right away. My wife ordered a Cosmo and I was driving, so ordered a N/A beer. Server brought wrong beer snd s drink that was not a cosmo. Beer was changed quickly but...cosmo didn’t arrive until the bartender asked what was in a cosmo snd then the drink came about 10 mins later. Caesar salad had no flavor. Prime Rib was delicious and nice and rate, NY Strip was cooked perfectly. Would go back for beef!More

Absolutely delish! Loved the Fried Green Tomatoes and Boursin Filet with the Brussels Sprouts. Excellent sauces on all. The Caesar Salad dressing was very bland which was surprising given the quality of the sauces. Excellent service as well.

Out to dinner with grandson and his wife. Had my standard jack and Coke. There was lots of it and it was really good. Decided to abandon my usual filet and go with the prime rib cooked medium. I have not had a really good...prime rib since the Seven Stars Inn outside of Philadelphia years and years ago. Last night was the best prime rib I have ever had in my life. It was large and so tender and juicy. My wife had the shrimp linguini which was good. She also vouches for the shrimp cocktail. Grandson’s wife had the mushroom chicken cream soup. it looked and smelled so good. We all wanted it. Connors has cemented its place in the top tier of restaurants in Knoxville TennesseeMore

We had Kyle for our server and he did a wonderful job. We were a group of 8 and he did a wonderful job making this one of the best meals we ever enjoyed together. 5 of us live in Maryville TN. One lives in...Oklahoma and 2 in Illinois. We only see each other for special occasions and holidays.

Our meal was beyond fantastic! My parents recommended this restaurant for my husband and I. We are in town for a show and decided to stop by on our way into Knoxville. It was about 3:00 and the restaurant was on a 45 minute wait....We decided to sit at the bar and have an appetizer while we waited for our table. They were unusually busy because of college graduations. We had a shrimp appetizer which was recommended by the bartender. It was delicious! It had the right amount of spice for us. Our table was ready right as we finished our appetizer. The hostess was very polite and asked us if we were celebrating anything special.. We were promptly greeted by our server Elisabeth who was wonderful. She told us the specials and inquired if it was our first visit. We ordered the espresso rubbed ribeye w/ a baked potato & Caesar salad. We decided to share a steak and I ordered an extra wedge salad. Everything was delicious. The steak was a perfect medium. The butter that is served with the bread is heavenly. My husband was thrilled with his Caesar salad that had anchovies on top. My wedge salad was amazing. This was one of the best steaks we have ever had. We would highly recommend the restaurant for lunch or dinner. 5 ⭐️ ask for Elisabeth if you want a wonderful dining experience!More

We three arrived at 11:45 for lunch, and the place was already full, with people waiting.....a very fine, popular restaurant. We asked to be put on the list, and the Hostess said it would be about 25 minutes.....ok by us. After waiting 30 minutes I...went to ask our position, and she said another 20-25 minutes! I asked how that was possible, and she said people with reservations. I asked if she factored that into her original 25 minute estimate, and she started to argue that she had told me 35 minutes, which was incorrect and beside the point.....so we left and ate elsewhere.More

This place was awesome for Dinner, Service and Great Desert. We were celebrating a birthday and they had the best warmed Germain Chocolate Cake I ever had. They had great seafood, daughter had Halibut, I had Sea Bass & Crab Cakes. Everything was really the...top tier. I would rank it number one, however Ruth's Chris steak is pretty much number one for Filet Mignon. Lonesome Dove has more specialty dishes really good but not very large portions.More
