nick and j's cafe

great roast beef sub.. it is always a pleasure to dine at nick and j's cafe. fun friendly servers, generous portions. i recently ordered the roast beef sub paired with crispy fried okra instead of french fries. very good choice. the bacon cheeseburger is also a favorite of mine. looking forward to next visit whether it be breakfast or lunch.

best club sandwich in knoxville!. it is always a treat to dine at nick & j's restaurant. today i ordered my favorite club sandwich and instead of fries, i like the fried okra which is always cooked to perfection - very crispy, not soggy like some restaurants. the ruben and their home made hamburgers are very good as well. blt's actually have bacon you can see in them. very tasty. if you are not in the mood for lunch, breakfast will not disappoint. western omelette is great and their biscuits are the best in town.

chicken salad sandwich. nick and j's makes a wonderful chicken salad sandwich if you are wanting a lighter lunch. it is very tasty. we always enjoy the friendly staff. the owners always greet us personally and make us feel at home. they consistently score in the upper 90's with the health department - last one being a 98. highly recommend this little gem to everyone.

i love this restaurant! today, i tried the pastrami and swiss cheese on rye bread and it was amazing! other favorites of mine are chicken salad, blt, and of course their hamburgers which are made fresh and not frozen. breakfast is always good as well. they make the best biscuits in knoxville. also home made.
