Love your restaurant just wish you would have cornbread. I always want pinto beans and cornbread when I see your beans but you never have cornbread. Hope u start making it😀

Love this place

Weekday lunch buffet menu and price

Lunch 2 to 5. $9.95. Awsome food steak always excellent. Great friendly service

How much is the lunch buffet

They have really great food and I love this place and they r very helpful and they have the best steak ever they r also the best steakhouse in Knoxville TN ever

Are you open Easter Sunday 4/1/18?

Yes

So it's like Shoneys. Come eat, get full pay and leave?

Sooo many food choices. And most are really good. More "southern cooking" than Shoney's.

Is Austin's open thanksgiving day

Yes

how much is dinner for seriors?

About 12 bucks

Will it be open on Christmas

Not really sure but they were open today for Thanksgiving. And they were super, super busy. After waiting for an hour and a half, I had to go on to work. My half- grown kids stayed and had a delicious Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixings and sweets they could eat. They did end up waiting to be seated forca total of 2 hours. Which is about half the time it takes to cook a turkey. You can't beat that, it was only $34. For the 2 of them! And of course the best thing,no messy clean up after dinner! Worst thing, no leftovers!😞

is there a senior discount

I'm not for sure but I think they do

What time is “early bird”?

Your asking Google maps. For the best answer you may want to check with there website or call. Thanks for your time.

Fantastic selection of food and everything was DELICIOUS!!! 👍To cooks, wait staff and managers. They honor military discounts as well so that's one more reason for the 5 stars!

Because of Covid-19, they converted to a cafeteria-style versus a buffet. So an employee puts the food on your plate, as much as you want, of anything you want. They do a very good job of keeping the food fresh as always, and making you feel comfortable while they're filling your plate.

Great food and started self serve , just as long as you wear gloves. To get your plates and food, and each time you get food. Due to the health inspector and health department. For safety reasons, Stopin and tell them hello and get great food while you're there. The waitresses are attentive to their guests.

Salad is best in my opinion! Just all you want or need in a restaurant! Not a fan of hot bar but it is great if that's your thing. Lot better than most. Servers are amazing and enjoy eating there try it , may become your favorite too

I have had many many meals at this family friendly, clean, and delicious (food) local southern style food buffet. I have never been disappointed with the food, the service, or the overall atmosphere. The owner, manager, and staff are very friendly, it's an open air building, so you dont feel cramped, with plenty of seating. The food is great, with plenty of southern style varieties available everyday, and ultimately for an affordable price per person. Add this to your list of restaurants to visit.

We thought was a good place to eat until someone brings a dog in. They even take it on a leash around the buffet bar. Then they feed it under the table. We left as many other people did.

The food is always delicious and they have something for everyone. Some of the vegetables are the only side that are gluten free, but a few of the desserts are gluten free. Service is almost always exemplary. The cost for the buffet on the weekends, however, is absurd. It's a lot of the same stuff offered during the week, but for a higher price. It was a little over $18 per person before my husband's military discount. After his discount, it was still $17 per person. Crazy! Food is good though 😊

This is the second consecutive year that my wife and I have been coming to Austin's for Christmas dinner. The food was phenomenal and the wait staff never let an empty dish sit for more than a minute, and our glass was always full. Thank you again Austin's for a great Christmas dinner.

My favorite place to eat. Lots to eat and tasted awesome. Only thing was our waiter didn't come back at all to freshen our drinks. We had to stop another waitress to help us. Although our waiter was going by an nd I raised my hand and tried to get his attention. But because I love this place I will be sure to get a different waiter.

Nice buffet, lots of options. Too many really! It was extremely hot in the section we sat in, but staff was friendly and food was good. Tacos, nachos, sirloin, chicken, meatballs, roast, all the fixings, salad and dessert bar. Pretty affordable prices. M-F they have senior discounts from 2-5. You can get a baked potato or baked sweet potato with the purchase of the buffet. Will go back!

This is by far the best homestyle buffet I have ever been to. Seriously, twice as good a Golden Corral and I like Goden Corral. They have a huge selection of vegetables, meats, and sea food. Also, if you go before 5PM it is only $9.99 for adults and kids are always only $6.99 and free for 3 and under.

My server as far as my waitress could have introduced herself to me. I like to be greeted and be introduced to. The meats were either a little dry for my taste, or mabey a little too fatty. I paid $40+5 tip. I think i would prefer Golden Coral. Just my opinion.

Went to Austins after church today it was packed. The food was good and hot. They never ran out of anything. The service was great. I wish they had real mashed potatoes, not instant, UGH!! Just a little pricey for a senior. Keep up the good work, we will be back.

Great prices and great selection. Weekends are my favorite time to eat there when they have prime rib on the buffet. Delicious choices for, meat, vegetables, other sides, salads, fruit, and dessert. They will bring a baked potato to everyone in your party that requests one. Friendly and helpful staff.

Austin's is a good place to eat when you don't want to cook and need a variety to feed the family. I think it's a bit pricey, but I went on Sunday and they had steak on the bar. They also had ribs on the bar they were excellent. The food is good and hot which I always look for on a food bar.

First time eating here and was absolutely impressed. My family and I really enjoyed the buffet. Our waitress was amazing. The food was outstanding and the price was really great. We live about 2 hours away from here but travel to Knoxville often and have drove by numerous times and finally stopped this time and we are so glad we did. This place is a hidden gem. We will definitely be back when visiting Knoxville again.

The available food was tasty. The grilled items remained empty most of our visit. Our server had the people skills of a speed bump. I had to ask other servers for refills. One of them sent our server, the other filled them herself. However, one our ticket was placed on our table we were totally ignored by all staff. I don't think the food was good enough to put up with the serving staff!

This place is awesome I've been craving salad and I went to a few other places and they didn't have the salad bar out but when I got there boom there was they had to rearrange a little things but I'm okay with that and you had to have fresh glass when you went to get your food and they provided that so I don't see why other restaurants don't provide that too for their customers Austin's steakhouse is wonderful they let you know up front where the gloves are and everything so I am very proud of them for doing that also for their safety and hours I love going there
