Love eating at Pete's. Often a line out of the door, especially during game weekends. Have only eaten there for breakfast. Personally love either Pete's sampler or country breakfast. If you leave hungry, it's your own fault.

Food was awesome and really fast. The price was reasonable. We were waiting to be seated at an IHop and I searched breakfast near me. Petes popped up and the rest is history. Way better than a chain restaurant. If I lived in Knoxville I...wld become a regular.More

I’ve lived here my whole life, worked downtown some and have heard of this place, but had never dined here till today! What an amazing place right here, Downtown! Quaint and modern and just a wonderful experience opened since 1986! We had breakfast; I had...the Southern Breakfast (Open Faced Biscuit, Fried Eggs, Crispy Chicken and Gravy and Home Fries. My wife had the Cinnamon French Toast with Powdered Sugar and Bacon. both our meals were amazing and fulfilling! A excellent place with superb staff and cleanliness, many awards and celebrities have dined here. I highly recommend and must say it was a great first time meal, and it won’t be our last…..More

Good food for the money and plenty of it. Fast and continued service. Eggs and sides were tasty. Regulars are there daily. Certainly a place for a quick breakfast or lunch.

This place is definitely worth a stop! Food network rated it #1 diner in the state of Tennessee, and for good reason. They have (I think) all day breakfast, and I got their lemon pepper chicken. The consistency was amazing and the flavor was good...as well.More

I walked from the hotel to grab a bite to eat for breakfast. I am SO glad I found this hidden gem! I ordered the breakfast bowl, and it was delicious! Coffee was perfect. Service was superb!

We are from out of town and wanted a breakfast that was not your usual chain. We sat in the courtyard on a beautiful morning, our waitress was so sweet, and polite. We got our food quickly. I ordered the BLT which was great and...my husband ordered the special with the pancakes and he said they were great. I would come back again.More

My family stayed in Knoxville for several days last week. We ate breakfast here the first morning and decided to try it again the 2nd morning. We were going to another breakfast restaurant in Market Square, but everyone enjoyed their food so much and the...service was so good we decided to come back for a 3rd time. Each time the food and service were great. It's easy to see why this is a local favorite and the prices are reasonable. If you are staying in downtown Knoxville, you'll definitely want to stop by and see Pete and have an amazing breakfast.More

I can see why Pete’s is a local favorite. This place has great food and excellent service. The waitress that had us was on her first day and she did a great job. Food was brought out very quickly. Good portions and prices too. All...the staff was so incredibly nice. I would definitely recommend this place for everyone who wants a great breakfast. The waffles are great!More

If we dont eat there weekly then we are missing out, definitely great food by great people! Cant miss

Pete's was a short walk from the Oliver where we were staying. It seemed to be the best option that we could find within walking distance. First of all it is old and rundown. The vinyl table clothes are atrocious. We overlooked that and ordered...an omelet for my husband and pancakes for me. Both were good. I hate the little plastic butter containers that you have to pull the top off of, same thing for the half and half. Coffee was weak and not good considering this is a coffee shop. Service was decent. We went back the day we were leaving because it was convenient. We sat in the back room, or should I say storage room. What a messy place. All kinds of stuff all over. Our food was OK. this time there were little gnats all over the table. We killed them and ate our food. Not sure we would return, too many negatives.More

The food is always good at Pete's! A Knoxville institution, we always enjoy breakfast or lunch here!
