The Burgers – Lenoir City Tennessee

Our friends Norm and Linda had already been to this new restaurant in Lenoir City Tennessee but they were more than willing to dine there again with us… That alone was a positive harbinger for what we could expect.  We both love a great hamburger!  



Could the sign be simpler?  All one really sees when you look is “Burgers”.  In reality, it states “The Burgers – Welcome to the Feast”.

This building has seen a plethora of dining options in the 9 years that we’ve lived here in East Tennessee.  I would guess that we’ve seen 4 or 5 different restaurants at this location.  The building has been repainted numerous times as well.


It was a weekday, it was early and this place was hopping!  We were lucky to get a table and immediately after we were seated, a line for seating quickly developed.  The servers were in constant motion…


The popular outside patio was an ‘add-on’, having never existed for any of the previous restaurants at this location.   We prefer dining inside…


This was Linda’s Knox Burger. ($10.00) The Knox Burger incorporates Swiss cheese, pickles, mushrooms, caramelized onions and mayonnaise with a hand formed burger patty.  This wasn’t Linda’s first Knox Burger… She knows what she likes!

FYI…The menu does include a few appetizers.  There are Fried Pickles ($5.00); Chili Cheese Fries ($6.00); Buffalo Wings ($7.00); Blackened Shrimp ($8.00), and Maple Syrup Glazed Smoked Pork Bellies. ($8.00)


Norm struck out in a totally different direction for his meal.  This is The Burgers’ Fish and Chips Basket with 3 fried fish filets, French fries and ‘southern slaw’. ($12.00) He was very happy with his choice!

About the menu… Although the restaurant is named “The Burgers”, don’t be misled.  There are plenty of options.  There is a fish sandwich, a shrimp basket, a fish and shrimp combo, 6 chicken options, plus hot dogs and sausages.  They also serve craft beer…we had a Yee Haw Dunkel ($4.00), a Vienna Lager ($4.00) and a Bell 2 Hearted Ale. ($4.00)



Laurie also had a Knox Burger, but she went for the Southern Slaw as her side.  She requested her burger medium rare and it was nice and juicy as she expected.  She really liked the burger with the onions and mushrooms…and she gave a high ‘grade’ to the slaw as well.


I ordered The Sunny Side Burger. ($10.00) This burger comes with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, sweet red onions, mayonnaise, bacon and a fried egg.  I left off the onions and added jalapenos slices instead.  It was a great burger!

We definitely will return and perhaps I’ll even try something other than a burger.  “The Burgers” location in Lenoir City Tennessee is located at 540 US Hwy. 321.  Phone: 865-816-6900.  The company’s website complete with menu and its other locations is found at http://www.stockburgers.com/.  “The Burgers” restaurants are open from 11 AM to 9 PM Monday through Thursday, 11 AM to 10 PM Friday and Saturday and from 11 AM until 3 PM on Sundays.  Franchises are available…and depending on the deal…this operation looks like a winner!

Thanks for stopping by for a visit!

Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
