Review Rankin Restaurant - Knoxville

Tommy White
Really hate to see this little place go. It is a great place for breakfast. Places like this are getting few and far between. The food has great flavor and the service is wonderful. They are much better than one of those fast food places that are on every corner where all the food tast the same and the employees could care less about you . Oh well this place will be missed.

Super awsome place for breakfast and a superb staff that make you feel right at home

Last breakfast at Rankin today (2/23/22). After decades of serving some of the best breakfasts and lunches in town, Rankin will be closing its doors on Friday. If you've ever eaten at Rankin, you probably know it's like going home for a good meal... and even with 20 tables full of people, you are treated like family. I can't speak highly enough about the quality of the food, warm kindness of the servers, and fabulousness of the atmosphere. There will be a hole, difficult to fill, once Rankin locks its doors for the last time.

First time here, will be coming back. Great food, old style diner eating.

Despite the modest look of this place, it is one of the few places where you can get consistently good, regular old breakfast. I have frequented this place for nearly a decade and I can say that I have only had one time when they didn't cook my breakfast order to specifications. Always friendly staff, the coffee flows freely, and they have awesome hash browns. They used to only accept cash, but now have updated their system to take cards. Always consistent basic breakfast. Bravo.

Super fast service and super good food. Especially for the price. It’s such a cute little place. And even though it doesn’t look fancy, the food won’t fail to impress.

So far this little gem is wonderful, the set your self didn't like much, but I guess if they know you, you all good. The flavor on the gravy i know it could be better ( from scratch maybe), now the French toast 🤔 not bad.so if I'm close to the place yes I will come back. Enjoy 😉

Just heard that Sam N Goody's bought and are closing it next Friday, 2-25-2022. They don't know when they will be reopening or what the food will be like when they do open. Country style steak reminded me of Mom's. All good.

My wife and I have eaten here many times and always enjoyed it, a lot. Rankin is one of the very few restaurants in town that is the same name, place and building as it was when I was a child in the fifties and sixties. It is a genuine step back in time kind of place with the decor, (there is none), and the truly home style food. Hell, they even make red eye gravy with the country ham. How many places still serve red eye gravy? I kinda suspect that one old waitress is original, wink wink.

Fantastic food and the servers are top notch. If you get breakfast the bacon is the best I've ever had. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

First time experience. Stopped because of Facebook recommendations. If you like the old fashioned "meat and 3" restaurants, you will love Rankin. I had meatloaf, mashed potatoes and pinto beans, corn bread muffins, sweet iced tea and chocolate cake. Thought I was back home eating mom's cooking. Plenty of off street parking and our waitress was fantastic. It's a pretty long drive from home, but when we're in Knoxville around lunch time and in their vicinity, I will certainly eat there again.

There’s nothing I can say bad about this restaurant. The food was awesome. It came out very quickly. The prices are unbelievable. I will definitely be back

Kenny Corum
Have been eating here over the past 17 years. The service and food have been very good. Never a bad experience!
Donnie Moore
I've never had a bad day eating there! Food is out quick and is always hot. Great coffee and the best biscuits in the world. Don't take my word for it. Go try them! Just watch out for Kathy, just kidding.
Imogene Flanagin
Rankins is the best!! We have been there a zillion times and I haven't ever gotten anything I didn't love. They always make my eggs lacy just like I like them. Best gravy and biscuits anywhere. Lunch is great too! All the girls that work there treat you like family!
Glenda Hamilton
Love Rankin's, the food is always great. You can't beat the prices. The waitresses and owners are awesome. My only complaint is I don't get to go more often.
