This is a nice little diner in downtown Knoxville. I’ve walked/driven past it many times without ever noticing it. I stopped in here with some family (group of 5) and I was impressed with the food and the people who work there are so friendly. I’d recommend the smokehouse burger (that’s what I ordered and requested it be cooked medium) and it was cooked to perfection. Would recommend this diner for sure.

Pete’s is a relaxed, homey spot that feels welcoming the moment you walk in. The breakfast portions are huge, and I mean unexpectedly huge. We ordered the chocolate chip pancakes, and they were massive but still tasted great. Adding butter on top made them even better. The eggs were flavorful, and the sausage was solid as well. Overall, it’s warm, filling comfort food, and definitely worth a stop. I’ll be back for sure.

I’ve passed by this little diner so many times when I go downtown. I’ve always wanted to try it! I finally got the chance on a Monday morning around 10:30am. The utk students are still away on break so it wasn’t busy at all! We were allowed to choose our seating, but greeted promptly by our waitress. She was so sweet, and had a great southern charm. Our food came out quick and was hot and delicious. I ordered the southern breakfast, and it was just what I needed after a morning hike! I’m so glad a gem like this place is around:)

A charming diner located in downtown Knoxville offers delectable breakfast and lunch options. Notably, the establishment serves exceptional home-fried potatoes, which are unique and of high quality. The biscuits and gravy are also noteworthy, as they are not overly salty, and they are complemented by excellent coffee.
The diner’s breakfast and lunch menu provides excellent value for money.

Great vibe at this local spot… it was super busy Sunday morning, but the staff was in Sync and always kept smiling. Shout out o Holly in the front, that was sitting customers, waiting at the counter and wiping tables down. Plus the food was delicious.

Pete’s Breakfast and Lunch is a Knoxville gem that delivers on all fronts. The service is top-notch—friendly, fast, and attentive without being overbearing. The food? Fantastic. Whether you’re in for breakfast or lunch, expect classic, well-executed comfort food that hits the spot. Prices are reasonable, making it an easy choice for a go-to meal.
PRO TIP: Order Pete’s Country Breakfast—you won’t regret it.

After seeing a tictok about this place my wife wanted to try it. I have driven by it many times and found it to look busy almost always. We went there on a Sunday morning and it was very comfortable and easy to get into. I was relatively shocked that it was not busier. However it was about the time of church so my guess was that is why it was not busy yet.
When I tell you everything was great I mean it. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the chocolate chip pancakes are huge, the omelette was tasty and not over cooked which is awesome because some places kill the omelettes.. and the French toast was thick and fluffy. I think we forced ourselves to eat as much as we had. No one left hungry. I wish it was closer to our house but it’s probably better for our wallet that it’s not. Haha.
Prices are fair for the amount of food you get. Understand it’s not cheap to eat there but it is worth it. My family of 5 spent 96 for breakfast. I definitely recommend it if you are a breakfast person.
