Aubrey’s

I went here today and typing in address I felt confuse on trying to find it (I thought my GPS was lying) But, if your GPS tells you to turn close to the restaurant and it looks like a medical center/​commercial business offices than you are going the right way. Its surrounded, by a lot of office buildings, I would have never guess this restaurant was sitting there. Once we found it our view was a hotel and I think a bank (if you are sitting in the patio) I took pictures:) The food; not many options at all from what I saw that caters to vegetarians I order a small plate double dip plate. It was hummus and pimento with a bread like shell and chips. I also ordered a baked potato as well and all of it was good. But, sucks that it dont caters to a variety of food for Vegetarians:(, Now the biggest blow is the fact they don’t have a cocktail menu, it was just beer and wine :(. The waiter couldn’t even suggest anything, because I was so loss ordering. He said they had a margarita but with no flavors, But could add pineapple if I wanted to… That’s nice but it dont taste like the one I’m use to… This drink tasted off to me. Oh, if you want to get your money worth with a cocktail or anything with ice just tell them to go easy on the ice, heck my drink became watered down within two bites of my food. We should have sat at the bar and maybe talked to the bartender. Will I go back? Yes… Just to see if I could get a better drink, But, It’s not a favorite spot of mine as far as the food choices unless they spice it up for people who don’t eat meat.

I can’t comment on how the food was, only the service. I came in for dinner and was seated on the patio, the host said my server would be right with me. I waited for almost 10 minutes and no one ever showed up so I got up and left. The server for the patio section came out several times and never even acknowledged me. So I went around the corner and spend my money somewhere that was glad to serve me. What a shame, this place was nice and I wanted to like it but they wouldn’t let me.
2 stars because the establishment was nice and inviting, with a good atmosphere.

Nice ambiance except for the dry stock on the walls which seemed out of place. Good service. There seemed to be way too many young servers just standing around in packs. I order the fried chicken and macaroni. The macaroni was perfect and the chicken was cooked excellent. The chicken was very under seasoned. It could’ve used a good marinade or simple house seasoning. But the nail in the coffin was the gravy. The gravy was OLD and disgusting. It was gelatinous and had no taste except for the greasy, nastiness of packaged gravy left in the fridge all night. And It had to be from the night before since we were there when the doors opened. It is inexcusable to put garbage on a $ 15 piece of fried chicken. You will have a better meal at Cracker Barrel and save $ 10 – 15.

We had a great lunch experience yesterday. My husband & I, son, daughter-​in-​law & 20m grandson were served by Tyler, who was professional, friendly & very accomodating. We chose Aubrey’s for the varied menu to have options all of us would like, toddlers included. We enjoyed our food (chicken fingers & sweet potatoes for me) & even during the busy lunch rush it was still easy to chat. We’ll be back!

The buttermilk chicken with white gravy was great. Service was good, Tyler was quite attentive. Broccoli was not over cooked. They even brought My husband a sample of their pimento cheese which was excellent. We generally avoid chain restaurants but this is a local chain. We will probably go back!

Great place for lunch. Had the grilled chicken and baked potato and it was awesome. A little loud wa the only drawback, but that’s expected.

Bar is freezing. Food is always good. Service very professional. Hostesses always are a bit snooty. Had Chili and half sandwich. Wife had same chicken almond soup and it was wonderful. Solid 3. Minus points for sub zero temperatures and hostesses that act like they are doing you a favor to seat you.

Usually can depend on Aubrey’s for good food. Ordered medium rare steak-​on-​a-​stick & it came out way overcooked, not even a hint of pink. Had to send it back & a lady manager (?) brought a re-​do to the table, put it down quickly & boom, she disappeared! No apologies that I had to eat my meal after everyone was finished. Cedar Bluff Aubrey’s is much much better than this location. Bad end to my Friday

Quick stop in today at Aubrey’s for an afternoon snack and something to wet the whistle. The sweetie and I were surprised to find the bar pretty darn busy for 3 o’clock, in between lunch and dinner times, so we quickly grabbed one of the remaining open bar tables. We were given menus and and server greeted us quickly. Though we had originally planned on having a few brewskis, we changed our minds when we saw that bottles of wine were ½ off on Saturdays! One bottle of Malbec, please!
We were a bit disappointed that there weren’t more small plates/​appetizers on the menu to choose from, but decided on their Two Bowls– a pimento cheese and black eyed pea hummus plate served with crackers and tortilla chips. The food was great. Admittedly, we did just have one dish, but it really was good! Even the sweetie (a black eyed pea hater) liked the hummus and we concluded it was more like a more flavorful, upscale Mexican bean dip. My only real complaint about our experience is that once our server realized that we weren’t ordering more than snacks it was pretty obvious that we weren’t that important to him any more. I mean, he did even do a proper wine presentation when bringing the bottle or return once to refill our glasses. Yes it is my first time at this restaurant, but I’m just guessing that they teach their employees better than this.
I’m looking forward to anther trip here for a real meal so I can really see what they can do!

I can’t remember what I ate exactly but I know it was a pasta dish and absolutely delicious!
Just don’t go during lunch time it is busy and loud.

Always enjoy the staff & atmosphere. Very good food. Easy to get in for food. We love this hideaway restaurant.

We have eaten here twice recently and loved it both times. The food is good, the portions are generous without being overwhelming, and in that rarity for mid-​prices restaurants, you can actually have a conversation without having to compete with «mood music».
It’s a bit hard to find, which is great because then there would be crowds and waiting. As it is we have not yet had to wait, though there are always plenty of customers.

Stopped on the way out of town for some smashed potatoes and gravey. They are delicious! Best decision of my day.

The only reason I’m giving this review 2 stars, is because the waitress was very friendly. However, the food there was less than expected. I had ordered a sandwich that was to contain bacon, and it did, but the one piece was about 2 inches in length. Trying to keep slightly healthy, I was told they could lightly sauté some spinach when I asked for a healthy option. The spinach came with a huge helping of salt, butter, and garlic. It was so horrible, I asked them to take it away. This was not a good experience here at all!

Visited last night with a co-​worker. Pretty good atmosphere here. Nice restaurant/​sports bar nestled within business complex and hotels.
It’s not easy to find to some degree. Off the beaten path and no street signs. Which might be a good thing.
Food was pretty good and reasonably priced.
I’m not one that tries different places often. But, was pleased that I did last night. I will probably return and bring the wife.
Parking is kind of limited. But, I took it that it was cool to park in business complexes nearby. So, no worries there.
I’d suggest this place as a good place for a meal for the whole family.

Had a great meeting at Aubrey’s! They have suck a great atmosphere including a great selection of music that entertaining customers is a no brainer!
Didn’t eat this time but what a great selection of taps for anything that might tickle your fancy as a few of my friends might say! Ha!
I will inevitably be back sooner than later due to the convince of the location of this great watering hole

Been coming here three or four times a year over the last eight or nine years. Always enjoy it and its been great to see more of these pop up all around Knoxville.
I’d put in the same category as your O’Charlies, Chili’s, Fridays, Applebee’s, etc… but it outclasses those places in so many ways. I’d say it’s closer to Calhoun’s or Parkside Grill than the chains above.
The food feels real. The recipes taste like they were created by a chef in the back, and not mashed up by a franchise staff of experts until its a gimmick, overly generic, or bland to appease the widest demographic possible.
I mean it’s not crazy outside the box, but you can taste the fresh ingredients, the flavors are good, and the preparation is excellent. I can always go here for a solid meal that I want to enjoy and i’ve never been let down.
Granny smith steak salad, rooster grill, ragin’ cajun, roasted turkey and havarti, patty melt, thunder road, prime cheddar burger, pulled bbq pork, buttermilk fried chicken, boston scrod, lemon-​lime chicken, steak on a stick, hawaiian ribeye, haystack, and rattlesnake pasta. I’ve ordered all of this (and miss the ahi tuna and fish sandwich) and would order all of them again.
The service is clean, pretty quiet, and… well, i’d say pleasant. That’s a good word. Everyone has been courteous and treats you how’d you’d expect a service staff to treat you. Never too busy, they clear your table pretty quickly, refill drinks, get bread, and check in just enough.

Consistently my worst restaurant in town. Used to be good and still riding on that. These days advertise as homemade and open a can.

Aubrey’s is a locally owned restaurant. Since I’m a fan of supporting locally owned businesses, Aubrey’s is one of our favorite go-​to spots. It is a casual dining restaurant, meaning it’s okay to wear jeans and a t-​shirt, but the food is a cut above most casual dining places. They have a nice size menu with something for every taste. We are hooked on the Hawaiian ribeye and the peanut crusted catfish. I have had lots of other things off of their menu, too, and I have never been disappointed. They also have a well stocked bar with good beer and wine choices, too. We’ve always received great service. Seriously, if you haven’t eaten at Aubrey’s you need to pay them a visit very soon.

I am loving this lively bar area to eat dinner! It reminds me of a high end steakhouse like St. Elmo’s Steakhouse in Indianapolis or Sullivan’s. The bar attracts a middle age crowd watching the various games. However it appears to be family friendly also. The drink menu is really practical and cool. They have great drafts.
