Reviews for Casa Don Gallo in Knoxville, TN
This place was a favorite a time ago. Not sure if still the same owners or not but things are slipping. Mind you it was a Friday... night at a little after 7pm when we got seated in a both at the bar. The seats of the booth looked like a rogue DEA agent usedhis pocket knife to search the cushion for narcotics. The server who sat us, yes server not host, spent 90% of our stay talkingto an adjacent both, maybe running one order out. Our server was working all the bar tables by herself and you could tell shewas frustrated by her counterpart, but she did a great job despite this. The food arrived surprisingly quick. Unfortunately wecould tell why. My wife's tacos, by my guess, had been made probably an hour earlier and just thrown on a hot plate with freshrice and beans. There was enough grease in them, fortunately, to do a great 50s slick back hair do. My wife ate one andpromptly asked where the restroom was. My Guadalajara enchiladas were interesting. The chicken inside was very flavorful and sowas the Verde sauce. The fact there was also almost a whole, uncooked, white onion diced on top was a bit interesting. Firsttime I had the dish so not sure if this was the way it was supposed to be. I'll give it a few months before I try it again, andI will, but for now my wife won't even consider it. Read more
Terrible service from our server. The manager/bartender was great and took care of us as he could but he was dealing with a lot.... It took 20-30 mins for the three of us to get a second round of drinks and order our food which the bartender helped us with NOTTHE SERVER. We also had to ask the bartender for our check after 20 mins of not seeing our server AGAIN. On top of that therewere servers standing around doing nothing at all. Decent food but the service ruined everything. We have been return customersand everytime we come back the service gets worse. I would suggest sitting at the bar. Read more
Good service, great food. I had the burrito Don Gallo (pictured).
This was our first time here. We had dinner on a Friday night. It was busy but we were seated quickly. Both of our meals were... excellent. The service was great. We had just enough time to enjoy our drinks and chips before the food arrived. I would givethem 5 stars except for the noise level. It was pretty loud. Read more
Three stars because of the atmosphere. We ordered jumbo house margaritas on happy hour, 22 oz for $6.50 good deal but they... tasted like limeade and water. Couldn?t not taste the tequila at all. Ordered the veggie enchiladas and was really disappointedthat the veggies were way under cooked, had no flavor and the tortillas felt like they had been boiled. Friend had the veggiequesadilla and had the same experience. Service was good and friendly but good and drink was very underwhelming. Oh chips weregreat, thin and crispy! Read more
Good food, service could have been better. I think our waitress was new so she should not have been given a table of 14. Could... have walked out without paying after asking for my bill 5 times, being forgotten and then having to go find her to pay my bill.We were there for a work function, hopefully if we ever go back the service will be better.

Great food! The waiter was great until about halfway through our meal we didn't see him again. We asked for some more salsa... and never got it. We had to hunt him down for our check. Impressed by the food but the service was not so great. Read more
Had a very enjoyable evening with an old friend. The service was impressive, the food was exceptional, and the atmosphere was... both comfortable and inviting. Read more
