Aretha Frankenstein's: Breakfast & Brunch Heaven in Knoxville, TN

After seeing a few "influencer" videos about Aretha Frankensteins we decided to give tge place a try. I can honestly say that the place lived up to the hype. The atmosphere and decore is eclectic, the food is amazing, and the service is even better. For those who enjoy toilet humor, the decore extends to the throne room.

Excellent Food, Service, Atmosphere!! Highly recommended, large portions , everything was delicious, coffees were great also! Lunch items looked great too (table next to us)! Breakfast served all day. Go on Google and get on the call ahead seating, then check in when you get there, they stay busy!

Very unique restaurant with fabulous service and delicious food! Our server Caroline was fabulous. When we arrived we were told a 30 minute wait, but were seated within 10 minutes.

We’ve been wanting to try Aretha Frankensteins for some time and finally pulled the trigger for a birthday breakfast on a Sunday, and wow- it did not disappoint! First of all, their famous pancakes are absolutely massive and a MUST in addition to whatever else your heart desires. Fluffy, golden, and thiccc, they definitely live up to the hype. The biscuits are handmade in-house, and you can easily tell. They’re buttery, soft, melt in your mouth, and want to fall a part at every bite. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. The atmosphere, the flavors, and the generous portions make it the perfect spot for a large party. We will definitely be back!

My wife says these are the best pancakes she's ever eaten. I took a bite of some of hers and they were absolutely delicious. I had the eggs, bacon and potatoes.

The pancake was amazing (obviously). I also ordered the feta and spinach omelette, really good. Grits were ok, not the best I've had but not bad. Our waitress was pleasant and the restaurant was super clean. The vibe is nothing like the OG in Chattanooga. It's more commercial and less hip. Overall everything was great. Bought a few T-shirts for some last minute Christmas gifts as well.. adorable!

During our holiday trip, my family and I visited the Knoxville, TN location. If you’re hoping to walk in and get seated right away, think again—this place was packed, with a pretty long waitlist. I appreciated that they offered an app with real-time wait times; it was a much better experience than just leaving a phone number and waiting for a call or text. The restaurant was absolutely worth the wait. Our family really enjoyed the meal, and the pancakes were delicious and filling. Do not skip the blueberry melange butter—it’s a must-try. And I’ve never tasted a vanilla chai tea that creamy and delicious (with almond milk). If I’m in town again, I’d definitely come back and hopefully beat the crowd.

I've been told by a few people I needed to try this establishment, I should of tried the breakfast, but I still had to work the remainder of the day, so I went with a Philly steak, that was decent, services was the best part, Wanda did a really good job, and the decor was really cool. I think need to go back and have breakfast to give a better review.
