Litton`s Market & Restaurant in Knoxville

Huge, well formed, hamburgers with fresh, homemade buns and all the trimmings. Saved enough room for the fantastic deserts, which are all homemade too.

Litton’s Restaurant has amazing dinner menu with home style southern cooking from old fashion comfort food flavors.I love the homemade dessert and cakes from Litton's Market made from scratch bakery.The cake slices are huge, one slice is big enough for two people, and their night and day cheesecake was just made from heaven.

The atmosphere is well suited to sports fans and those who enjoy American. The food tastes just fine, but I wouldn't wait in line for it.

Love Litton's! Great food, especially the burgers and desserts! Nice atmoshere and awesome service!

Well established, great food with friendly service. You should order burger done if you don't want a shade of pink. I was told med well would do it but it didn't. Two cheeseburger platters, one slice coconut cream pie, two cups of coffee was $43 including tip. A little pricey!!

Litton's is our favorite place in Knoxville for great burgers, steaks and sweet tea. But we never leave without their amazing pie! Wonderful friendly service that makes you feel right at home. We have to visit every we come to Knoxville.

Great food and service. Prices are very reasonable.

First time I have had the privilege of dining at this very fine restaurant. The waiter was courteous and very helpful in recommending their products. Our ordered was as ordered and quickly served. Their pies and cakes are out of this world. Many varieties are offered. Facilities and restrooms are kept very clean and are accessible by the handicapped.

Buns not good which makes the burger the same. I would have rather eaten at home. Do away with that cold tasteless bun.

Thunder road burger is amazing. Great service, friendly staff.

Flavor, pure and simple. They don't skimp on quality here. Want a leisure lunch? This is THE place in Knoxville. Desserts are great. If I was a bit wealthier, I'd give it 5/5 stars, but price is a factor in rating.

Best known place in North Knoxville! Terrific staff, great fresh food cooked to order! Not a fast food place! Awesome Burger! Homemade desserts to die for! Most everything here is fresh and homemade. Not frozen Hotel Food!

Litton' is the best burger place in town, hands down. Additionally they have a great bakery. Try the key lime pie!!

A Knoxvile legend and well deserved. With it's own bakery and meat market, Litton's serves the best tasting food, well prepared and always different and fresh.

One of oldest and best burgers around Knoxville, serving them to order since 1946, and only just under a country mile from Knoxville; well worth the venture if you are craving USDA inspected beef!

If you haven’t been - go! This place is awesome!

Frosting on cake was too thick and not that good.Greens tasted slightly burnt. Not likely to go bake.

Good burger, but way over priced. I got a cheeseburger w/fries and sweet tea, my wife got a bunless burger w/fries and water to drink and our bill was $30+ dollars before tip. Lotta hype *not impressed*

Its been here a long time. Everything is great. The onion rings are amazing. Fries are good. Burgers are talk of the town. I think they are pretty good. I love how the burgers seem lean and less greasy. The bun isnt special. Service is usually good, but its been a long time since ive ate inside.

This is one of the best restraunts I have ever eaten at. I don't do everyones meatloaf and usually prefer to make my own but theirs is sooooo good. Their sides especially the greens and green beans are amazing! Friendly waitresses/Waiters and overall good atmosphere and food. Oh plus their cakes are delicious!!

Service as nice and food wasn't bad , came out correctly. Over all a nice experience with lovely staff

Food is great. I recommend the Thunder Road burger. Eddie is the best waiter. If we had him wait our table tonight, it would have been 5 stars. Sweet potato waffle fries are better than the regular fries. Coconut cream pie is the best. Cool place with lots of character and history.

Disappointed. Missed the littons I've loved for years. What happened to the hand cut fries!?? Frozen now? The collards are usually my fave but they were chewy and dry with no flavor. Fried chicken was pretty good but food temp could have been more fresh. I've always thought the prices were high but always willing to pay for good fresh ingredients and delicious food. One more thing....if you want to use the finest ingredients, GIVE REAL BUTTER for the yummy cornbread and rolls.

Not being from Knoxville, I had never heard of Litton's. My wife, however, spent many years in the area and says it's the best hamburger in town and that we have to go. She was right. It is a straight forward cheeseburger, not the multi-topping things that are popular right now and it is delicious! The cheddar on top was thick and fantastic. The fries are fresh cut and cooked in peanut oil. They are also a bakery and have a huge case of cakes, cookies and pies. You may have to wait a little be bbit be patient, it will be worth your time to dine here.

This is by far my most favorite burger joint in Knoxville. They have their own butchery and a bakery too. Their burgers are exquisite, so are the hand-cut fries and the onion rings. They also serve a good variety of veggies, look up the menu online. The desserts are awesome, you should try the coconut cream pie, it's out of this world! Their staff is always friendly and very efficient. This place is always crowded, so expect a little wait time.

Great food! Love this place

One of the best burgers anywhere! They also have several different cakes and cookies available daily. The service here is what makes the experience. One of the owner's took particular interest in my young son and gave a tour of the bakery/prep areas! Where else would that happen? The food, the food is all made freash on site, they bake the buns, cut the fries, soak the kale lettuce overnight, and bake the cakes and cookies. If you want a good burger, great service, and a sweet treat, look no further than Litton's. If you're in Knoxville, it's a must!

Nice little gem of a restaurant with good home cooking We were traveling through and stopped here for lunch and had the daily special of turkey and dressing and pork chop Green beans, and coleslaw ( lots of sides) and was very good. Save room for their awesome desserts! Beats a chain any day. Support your mom and pop restaurants as the food is real and not reheated.

Consistently excellent!! Eddie was an awesome server ... he took great care of us!!

It's hard to eat here and not get dessert. Definitely known for their cakes and pies. Prices are great for the amount they give you.

Eh...The burger patty wasn't bad, not exceptional, but my bun was cold to the touch. A warm or toasted bun is an absolute must for a good burger. I did really like their homemade green beans.

Fantastic food. Simply a classic of knoxville. Thank you.

The thunder road burger was great, definitely recommend trying it paired with the sweet potato fries!!

Visited here on a Saturday afternoon around 12:30. You put your name and party number on a chalkboard. We were seated pretty quickly. I had the regular hamburger and sweet potato. The hamburger roll is very buttery. Sweet potato was small. But both were good in taste. I had a piece of red velvet cake. It was good, but tasted like it was sitting in the refrigerator. I like my cake more room temperature. Family members had fries instead of sweet potato. No complaints. No complaints about the night and day cheesecake either. It looked delicious. Chocolate chip cookies weren't a crowd pleaser though.

I don't understand the fuss about this place. I kept hearing that Litton's is one of the best restaurants in the area, and their parking lot generally reflects it but... There's not much to write home about besides the atmosphere. I really like the setup of this place, and in that respect it is unique, but that's about it. The servings, while ample, are pretty bland. My husband and I both had chili and were very disappointed by it, and the fries were slightly undercooked. Moreover, there aren't a lot of choices. Normally I like this in a restaurant because it means they specialize and know how to do a few things really well. Maybe I just got the wrong thing but again, with all the hub bub I would expect there is no "wrong" thing. Our server was not very attentive. We only received refills from another waiter who was much friendlier and more attentive. All in all, I dont think I'll be back.

Great as always, perfect burger with a cold beer is just about perfect

Outstanding burger cooked to absolute perfection coupled with the softest bun, required no condiments. Had a great selection of bakery items to compliment lunch or dinner but I wasn't able to partake of any as I was full from the burger and fries. Service was quick, polite and professional.

The road runner chicken sandwich is amazing!! Also don’t forget to get a giant chocolate chip cookie on your way out 😋

The burgers and fries are amazing. Can get better cakes in town, but very classic southern American cuisine.

I find Litton's to be a little overrated! The food, including the "famous" burgers, are good. Although, to me, not exceptionally great. I think they're a little overpriced as well.

Love the Burgers! Great ! Daily specials are fab but get there quick they run out sometimes! Love the meatloaf & mashed potatoes on Thursday. Great service too. We have had the guy server that’s been there for years & years sorry my brain went blank on his name ! He is excellent! Casual atmosphere! Always a very good meal! Desserts are fabulous’-

This place has withstood the test of time. Established in 1946, Littons is one of those places that every local has eaten. One of our favorites is the pimento cheese and crackers appetizers. A small side salad helps to get the meal started with homemade dressings. Then on to the burger; fresh baked buns, 1/2 lb of ground beef, and American cheese makes for one great burger. To finish out a great meal, chocolate chess pie with home made whip cream.

Really enjoyed our visit. Wish we lived closer.

One of my favorite burgers in town. There's always a good wait around meal times, but it's worth it for the friendly service and good food. If it's your first time you have to make room and try a slice of pie. It's unbelievable. Pecan pie very recommended!

Great family business and the food is the best! Be prepared for a pricer menu than the fast food places in the area, however it is well worth it!

Honestly, I was not really impressed. They make a good burger but it is pricey. The onion rings we really not that good and I was not impressed with the service. I had had a buger the other day at the food court at the mall that was far superior to this one. I wish I would have had a dessert because they looked great.

Throw back joint. 1st time, won't be our last. Everything we got was off the hook.👍Tina B. Was an excellent server, ask for her.
