Wright's Cafeteria

Home cooking like your grandmother used to make 40 years ago. They are open late Thursday night & usually packed, but even if the line is out the door, you are only looking at about 15 minutes & it's well worth it. Great entree selections to choose from & usually about 10 vegetables, salads & awesome deserts! If you have never been, YOU HAVE TO GO! Check their hours, but I believe the open before typical lunch hour & close at 3pm & ion THURSDAY NIGHT to above 7:30pm. Check to be sure but it's the only NIGHT they are open, but YOU GOTTA GO & SOON!

This is definitely a locals place. It is a cafeteria style walk, through and pick out what you want place. There are probably 5 different entree options but the green beans were some of the best I ever had. I wish i could have some now. The baked steak was so so and the tea was pretty good. The people are very nice. The lemon meringue pie was very dried out but my husband enjoyed the coconut cream pie. They also had fish, chicken and spaghetti although he did not like the spaghetti. Id say it's worth a try and a lot of older people eat there.

Wow!! It's been awhile since I had a homemade cooked meal like this! I literally enjoyed every single thing I ate. And the mashed potatoes are real! So many dishes reminded me of my Mom's and Mammaw's food. They were wonderful cooks! My very favorite had to be the homemade coconut cream pie. Absolutely delicious❤

If you won't some good homemade country cooking, then this is the best place ever. People stand in line to get in this place it is so good. The only bad thing about it is their limited hours of service. If you won't to go in the afternoon they are only open on Thursday's, so don't miss it! Lunch time is their main service time Monday-Friday. Please find time to try, it will be worth it!

Delicious country homestyle cooking! Yeast rolls are so good. Great variety of choices. This is a cash only establishment, so visit an ATM before you go, and be prepared to wait in line, as many others are already well aware of the top quality food and service at Wright's. It's worth the wait in line!

This jewel on Middlebrook Pike is a true Knoxville institution. You'll order your meat from the owner himself and don't miss the tomatoes he selects from Grainger County.Great home cooking. I've been coming here for years. I'm mid forties with two kids in their early twenties and we all love it. It's older, not nicely decorated and no one that wants a good home cooked meal cares. Love the atmosphere and the folks are so nice.
