My sister & brother-in-law took me for all you can eat chicken tenders, catfish & bbq last time I visited. The restaurant was packed when we arrived & we had to wait a minute for them to clean a table for us. I started with chicken tenders & catfish & opted for collard greens & green beans for sides. The greens were flavorless, but the green beans were good. They weren't overcooked & they were well seasoned. The chicken tenders were okay, but the catfish was absolutely amazing! It was perfectly battered, perfectly cooked & served piping hot with tartar sauce on the side. I have to say the catfish was second best I've ever had. It would have been the best, but across the table, my brother-in-law was brought way overcooked catfish that was dark brown, crunchy & dry. Fortunately my sister's catfish was like mine. When I reordered, I only requested catfish as did my brother-in-law. The server brought a plate piled with catfish - some looked gorgeous, cooked perfectly while others were bordering on burnt. One thing I really like about this restaurant is they allow you to change your sides when you reorder. I tried the fried apples & coleslaw & greatly enjoyed both of them. The coleslaw was finely chopped & refreshing. The fried apples were still slightly crisp with a tang. I would return to this restaurant, but next time I'll review the check before paying because when we arrived home & looked at the receipt, we were charged twice for our drinks.

My dad was born in 1938 in East Tennessee. He sure could cook some southern food. Sadly, he died a little over a decade ago now and, among all the things I deeply miss about him, I have really missed his cooking, too. It was just happenstance that we went to Hillbilly's Cabin Restaurant for my best friend's graduation celebration, and I am so so happy that we went! It was the first time in a very very long time that I have tasted anything close to his cooking.
I live in Knoxville but absolutely plan to eat at Hillbilly's Cabin again. The prices and portions are the best you can get anywhere. The staff is the epitome of kindness and customer service. I wish I could remember my waitress' name, maybe it was Nancy? My goodness she was amazing.
If you go, get some cream corn and fried taters...you can thank me later. :)

Stopped for breakfast around noon on a Sunday.
We both ordered the same meal, his having home fries and mine with hashbrown casserole.
The dining area is wide open, fairly small, a little tight, but not uncomfortably so. A nice break from chain restaurants.
The food was excellent, fast & friendly service and a great atmosphere.
Would recommend and will return again.

If you’re looking for a home cooked meal with great attention to satisfaction Hillbilly Cabins is the place to go! On entering the restaurant, our hostess did give my friend and I a rushed feeling that we assumed was due to our timing as the establishment was closing soon. Then there was some confusion over my order but our server was terrific and not only corrected my order but was so warm and approachable that we also shared our experience on walking in. Not only did she bring me out a fresh order piping hot and delicious, she conveyed our feelings of being rushed to her supervisor who actually came over and made a sincere personal apology and then gifted us with two complimentary dinners!! The hostess came over and explained she was simply trying to get us seated and let the cook know do not to turn off the grill because we had arrived. She also apologized whole heartedly! It was the greatest turn around experience by everyone being so attentive! We left feeling very happy about how great lunch turned out! I only wish I could remember everyone’s name involved so I could tell you how nice they were! We will definitely be returning!!
