Copper Cellar

Located just off the UT campus, the original Copper Cellar is a staple among college students with a passion for delectable and affordable hamburgers, as well as those just interested in partaking in a good meal. Featuring a familiar and cozy atmosphere, Copper Cellar hosts 15 HDTV screens and serves up a hearty selection of handcrafted microbrews. Runner-up for Best Hamburger and Best Brunch in Metro Pulse's 2009 Best of Knoxville Guide.

From the Yummm! Restaurant Guide:

A restaurant pioneer in the Knoxville area since the founding of the first Copper Cellar in 1975, Copper Cellar Restaurants’ distinction and excellence rests entirely on the ability to say “No.” No to compromise, no to overbearing or corner-cutting parent companies, no to frozen meats or substandard ingredients, no to a typical menu.
This rare ability to say no means the distinctive group of restaurant brands under the Copper Cellar umbrella can say “Yes,” to many other things. They have the autonomy to insist on daily preparation of signature items, for example, including the ribs at Calhoun’s, the crab cakes at Chesapeake’s, the prime rib at Copper Cellar, the pizza at Smoky Mountain Brewery & Restaurant. They can say yes to the generous time and effort put into every one of the group’s handcraft brews, and to all the other efforts involved in their relentless commitment to quality and the dedication to detail that separates them from other chains.
This same autonomy and value also earns them thumbs up from local diners: Calhoun’s took home two Metro Pulse reader-voted Best of Knoxville awards in 2009, for Best Ribs and Best BBQ, while Chesapeake’s scored first for “Best Seafood.” All this stemming from an ability to say “No”—and an autonomy that assures you will always be served food worthy of the Copper Cellar experience.
