Reviews for Holly's Gourmet Market & Cafe in Knoxville, TN

This place lives up to its name. Gourmet. One of the best bloody Mary?s I?ve ever had. Quality food and absolutely delicious. I... made my own burrito. It was delicious and big enough for two people. Friendly service. Highly recommend. Read more

I didn't like it.. to call it gourmet might be a stretch... Overpriced is more like it... I asked for the pork belly to be on... the side and it was mixed into my scramble making it very greasy. Also the pork belly was oddly sweet .. I expected more of asmokey taste.. the avocado was hard and not ripe . The hash brown casserole has peppers in it ???? and I did not see that in thediscription could be bad for someone with allergy to nightshade vegetables.... I didn't like the casserole but my wife did ..giving it 2 stars will try one more time to make sure I don't like it.. I will go in person to see if that makes a difference..will update with follow up. Read more

Visiting from out of town, Holly?s is a gem - full menu w about everything you can think of and/or breakfast served anytime. ... Lots of standards, but unexpected foods like sow belly and collards. Everything everyone in our group ordered was out of thisworld delicious. I had ?toad-n-a-hole? which is avocado relish w Brie & eggs on homemade bread toasted - so yum! Servings weregenerous and we needed go-box. You?ve got to try their amazing candy bacon! Wonderful place and we will return soon ???? Read more

I came to visit my mom in Knoxville this weekend and we wanted to try something cute and local for lunch. I'm a foodie and I... live in a small town, so local flavor is a must for me. I'm so glad we found Holly's Gourmet Market & Cafe! They have lovelyoutdoor seating, so we got to enjoy the beautiful day. Our server, Vincent, made the whole experience extra special. He is veryprofessional, kind, and very familiar with the menu and daily specials. The food is outstanding. Mom had the Hollyhock Quiche,which she LOVED. I had the special sandwich of the day, which was a jerk-chicken wrap with mango salsa and arugula and grits onthe side. Everything was absolutely delicious. And don't get me started on the cold brew...I had to have seconds. Mom and Iloved it so much that we suggested it for breakfast with my brother and his family the next day! And it was just as good! Checkit out. You won't be disappointed. Read more

This is a great local restaurant! The servers are always very nice. I wouldn?t give it 5 stars because it is pretty basic as far... as the food goes, but still delicious! The atmosphere and service would get 5 stars from me! Read more

Went early Sunday morning and was seated outside. The atmosphere was great and so was the service. We got coffee, scones, a... breakfast bowl and breakfast burrito, and a side of bacon, and everything came out perfect. I was seated almost immediately andfelt right at home. Read more

There is so much variety here. It?s in a great location and the customer service is excellent. Vincent was our server and he was... very warm. Parking can be a bit tedious but the experience and feeling you get from being inside is well worth it. It has ariverdale vibe and if you used to go to Bearden then this will take you back to those Bearden vibes! Read more

Close your eyes and take a sip and the breakfast margarita takes you away to a pool front cabana only missing the soft ocean... breezes. Holy moly was this place a surprise! From the sign on the street, I would have had no idea how incredible thisbreakfast, lunch, brunch places was. From the large indoor and outdoor seating and little "Togo" shop on the inside to theamazing service and staff (thanks to Vincent, for making this my new favorite brunchy spot), this place will become your Go Tofor a tasty daytime meal. I started with a smoky mountain sunrise (think tequila sunrise with bourbon, which fits Knoxville'slocal to a T and was above and beyond perfectly blended) and a couple sides, and it only went up from there. First, let's hiton the grits. When they came out I was looking for the salt shaker and the butter on the side. Silly me, no need for that, thiscreamy melt in your mouth grits concoction was fies with Buorsin cheese and seasoned to perfection. Not my grandma's grits atall, and (sorry Granma) soooo good. I then tried the cauliflower hummus (weird combo I know, but hey, I'm drinking a Bourbonsunrise, so don't judge) which was made with - you guessed it- cauliflower in place of chickpeas. Another non traditional twistto a classic that worked so well, I planned on bringing some extra home with me. As my Bourbon was depleted I asked Vincentwhat I should try next and he strongly suggested the Breakfast Margarita.... He was not wrong! Light, little sour on the rockswith a tiny sweet back created by using their very own rosemary simple syrup, made from the rosemary growing in their garden....Have I gone to heaven? It seems likely. I then ordered the veghead Reuben sandwich which is a veggie version of the traditionalversion (I'm sensing a theme here) with collard greens in place of the meat and slathered in Swiss and with their homemadeReuben sauce with a slightly spicy bite. I AM in heaven. Now, you can order it with the standard corned be Read more
