The food is always good here. I like the California Chicken with a side of greens. It is fun to sit out on the patio although people let their kids run around your table. One thing lacking is a light, not creamy salad dressing. Please come up with better salad dressings and you would be awesome!

So we went on a whim. This place will be in our rotation every time we come to Knoxville. The smoked sausage and cheese player was amazing. With enough for four people. My wife and I barely made a dent. Fresh jalapeños and brilliant smoked sausage and pepper jack cheese. With a huge helping of pimento cheese. Very good. I had the hot honey chicken sandwich with smoked potatoes. Again well done. Small annoyance. They MIGHT be using liquid smoke. Not certain. My wife's chicken and dumplings were the best we have had in a long time. If you are debating whether to make the trip do it. I don't recommend chains that many times but go. Also of note their porter is really a good home brew porter.

Overall good experience. Ordered this for takeout and got a combination of different meals. Sadly we had a longer drive back so much was cooled off by the time we got home but I'm not complaining because it was still good! We got the pretzels with cheese and loaded tots for appetizers. the tots stole the show. I had the ale steak which was cooked perfectly however we didn't realize the French dip was literally a burger with au jus to dip in. Chicken tenders were good and so were the chicken and dumplings. 1 star knocked off because we were missing two sides and some of the sauces but it doesn't mean I won't go back and try again. Hoping to eat in house next time!

To start the afternoon off I began with a wonderful hostess Letha Bosworth and the Main server Jonah Lane Leading to the ordering the location of the table was wonderful per request of being seated near a view of the Game on Tv, it's a very calm ambiance, with subtle music in the background very warm vibe with the lights lowered to a respectable level and great servers I would see them all pass by with a smile and having fun with their jobs joking with each other and truly making the environment a great place to have a meal weather it be Friends, solo, family! The order was Fried Green Tomatoes, Ale Pork Chops with a side of smokehouse potatoes, My drink for the afternoon was a glass of sweet tea with a side lemon it was wonderfully sweet and also not bitter common found in restaurants it will remind you of your hometown diner with homemade sweet tea. Well done over all 6.8/10 The starter of Fried Green Tomatoes is wonderful the tomatoes were not too stiff but still held good composure when fried over all 7.2/10 The Main Course the Ale Pork Chops are very Moist and hold plenty of moisture not dry AT ALL very tender not over cooked along with the butter placed on top of the chops themselves is wonderfully flavored not just your ordinary bland butter it's seasoned amazingly, the Smokehouse potatoes will remind you of your mamas early morning holiday hash-brown casserole. Well done kitchen staff over all 8.5/10 Overall Corner 16 has a well rounded establishment it's good to see another great restaurant in the local area very happy to see great people working together as a true team and getting a chance to see all of it unfold! Thank you corner 16 for your service!

Great menu and a lot of drink options. We sat outside and as the sun went down you so bake outside since there is no shade they can pull down to block the sun. The kids played corn-hole and had some spade to run around. They do live music but I'm not sure how often. Our server Spencer was great and was patient with us since we were in no hurry. Great service and the drinks came out very wuick

We started with wings in their signature sauce. They were great, good portion. He had the chicken sandwich with pimento cheese and bacon. He said he wish he had ordered the pimento and bacon sandwich- the chicken did add but took away from the other flavors. He got the tomato pie- it seemed much smaller than when he had it before. And it tasted good but not like he remembered. The chicken n dumplings are wonderful. Great southern comfort food. I got the white sangria and it was amazing. Kayla was very friendly and was attentive but not in our way.

Our daughter took us here for lunch. Were pleased with the expansive breezy patio. It was a lovely day with perfect temperature and a nice natural breeze, but they had a large fan set up just in case. We were also pleased with the menu selection. Dan and I shared a bacon, pimento cheese, and fried green tomato sandwich with a side of onion rings. I liked the onion rings. Dan prefers thicker onion rings that hold their shape better. I saw plates piled high with French fries. They looked awfully good. I think thats what I will order next time. We liked our sandwich except we would have preferred it a little less toasted. Also, the fried green tomatoes didn't hold up under the melted pimento cheese. I would have preferred them in my plate instead of in a sandwich. Our server, Natasha, gave us good service and was helpful to our daughter who is on a new food allergy diet. There's lots of interesting offerings on their menu that we want to try. That includes some $6 cocktails and $7 martinis. I had a cosmo. I want to try their classic martini. For $1 extra we can get Tito's. We will be back.

Celebration time for a great meal. We sat at a high top in the bar about 80 minutes before closing at 10pm. The waitress was friendly and answered our drink and food questions We ordered a cup of brisket and barely soup to start and them chicken and dumplings and pork chops with worchestire butter and a side of mushrooms. My whole trip across 3 states the food has been lacking and tonight we found a great meal. The soup was full of flavor, (doesn't need anymore salt.) And the chicken and dumplings were in a perfectly balanced gravy with very tender chicken. The dumplings were amazing taste and texture ( we wanted more than 2 though) The super star was the pork chops juicy and seasoned well with that great butter. The mushrooms were the perfect partner. We were even able to catch a beautiful sunset on the back deck where they have a bar and corn hole. If in TN again we would definitely eat here. Thank you. Thank you.
