Emma's Southern Kitchen

We happened upon Emma’s by a happy “accident “ looking for a Starbucks. Passing by Emma’s on the way to get coffee-their sign read …”we have Gumbo” and that’s all I needed! My husband had the patty melt and of course I had the gumbo (which isn’t actually on their current menu but it really could be a solid item to add). It came with the most fluffy homemade biscuit and a full bowl of NOLA style goodness! It definitely did not disappoint! I don’t normally eat biscuits but this one was just like grandma used to make and I made an exception- it was that good! Everything was delicious and fresh. The service was great and the atmosphere perfectly suited to a cool local dive. They have a neat outdoor area that looked like it would be a fun place to hang out when the weather was nice. Apparently, they are also dog friendly because a couple brought theirs and sat on the covered porch area. We normally travel with our pup as well, so this was good to know. I’m so glad we found this place because we never make it to Knoxville. We may just have to find another reason to go just to be able to eat at Emma’s!

This restaurant is absolutely a rustic gem. The restaurant is super clean very cute and inviting. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Their food is absolutely amazing and unique everything that I ordered was seasoned perfectly and it brought Great taste to it and they have unique items on their menu. I was blown away with how good the food was and how much I got for a total of $63 it fed my family of five. I will be continuing to eat there and reviewing all of their menu items if you want to know where to go get good food for a good price it's Emma's Southern kitchen!

I went to eat here for the very first time tonight for dinner and I must say I only went here to try it because I was looking for a friend’s apartment in this area on Google Maps and saw Emma’s Southern Kitchen. I read a lot of the reviews and looked at pictures that other hap uploaded then decided I had to go Tonight for sure! I was very happy with our waiter Eddie. He was very kind and polite. He took the time to explain what specials were available and I also ordered a couple of the $1 margaritas. Omg the food was amazing! I wasn’t disappointed at all with the food or the service. They have a one person men’s restroom and a one person women’s restroom that was very clean. You can choose to sit inside or outside in the enclosed patio area so you don’t have to worry about getting eaten up by mosquitoes!! I chose to sit inside where music was playing in the background somewhere from speakers in the walls. I can’t wait to go back to try a lot more of the items on their menu!! I definitely give the food and service two thumbs up! You should absolutely give this place a try!

First time here and won’t be my last. But he food was incredible and it felt like as soon as we ordered it, it was piping hot at our table. I got the Charleston Fried Shrimp and it was absolutely amazing. We had an awesome waiter named Matt and he really was helpful in helping to decide what to eat. My mom got the fish and chips and they were plenty for two people. Highly recommend this place any chance you get.
