About this business

The Plaid Apron is the brainchild of Drew and Bonnie McDonald and you can see their labor of love across this warm and friendly cafe-restaurant. The modern artworks of farm animals and mason jar pendants adorning their walls is pleasing to the eye. But it is their farm-to-table menu that has got patrons coming back all the time. No wonder then it is a popular breakfast and brunch spot. Savor their dishes like Sausage Omelet, Eggs Benedict, Smoked Beef, Chicken Thighs, Rib Tips and Cheesy Grits.

Loved it! Had the carbonara and ate every bite. The bacon pieces were like tiny bits of heaven.

Hidden gem in Knoxville! Their upscale take on southern cuisine is quite possibly unmatched by any other restaurant! I recently ate brunch here, and the steak & eggs with crispy taters was heavenly. I savored every morsel... but quickly. Our server, Cally, made excellent recommendations, and she was the most kind, friendly, down-to-earth person. She kept our drinks filled and was attendant, but not overbearing. Wonderful experience all around, and I can't wait to eat here again, and it's definitely somewhere I will take frie... read more

This was our first visit and definitely will go back often. Our mid day lunch was outstanding and totally awesome. The chicken livers were delicious and the best ever served on a bed of radish/ lemony slaw .... a great pairing. My husband ate every morsel of his grilled cheese and apple focaccia sandwich. Umnnnn!! 

Business response:

Thanks for the Love Louise, glad you enjoyed it!

We had brunch this morning and absolutely loved it! Our service was great, the food didn’t take long and the manager came out to greet us as well. The food was really good and was unique. It was by far, the best restaurant coffee I have ever had and the server even had the manager come out to tell us where we could buy it after I told her I liked it so much. We will definitely go back! ��� 

Business response:

Jade thanks for the love and we look forward to having you back!!!

I think this is one of the best restaurants in Knoxville. Their food is always amazing. They may have had some growing pains, but they are getting it dialed in. I love that they have great food, reasonably priced and without the pretention of some of the other restaurants of their caliber. I am excited to try their dinner menu.
