Review: Ye Olde Kings Head
One day Bundt came home and announced to his wife, Helen, that he had found the "perfect location" for their restaurant. In hindsight, he might have underestimated the hilly landscape, dysfunctional parking layout, or how much speeding traffic Chapman Highway would host. After some convincing, the family agreed to open a steakhouse. A community of friends and extanded family rallied behind the Kings to make this dream a reality.
Accepts reservations,
You can see winners in dozens of categories, from best bakery to best mortgage company and of course, best steaks, all of which can be FOUND HERE. It's on the list of the 100 Best Things about Tennessee Football and the 100 Best Secrets of the Great Smoky Mountains and one of the ten best steak houses in America. Though Bundt King passed in 1987, Helen ate, slept, and breathed Ye Olde until she passed away in 2003. Their three children, Nancy Ayers, Cheryl Wilson, and David King, have worked there since day one. Despite rampant Kudzu, an arson-induced fire, and a global pandemic, more than five decades later the Kings still own and operate the family restaurant.
One of Knoxville's Oldest and Most Popular Fixtures
The dining room lights up on game weekends, and the servers are just as excited as the patrons. It’s not uncommon for the crowd to start singing “Rocky Top” when the mood strikes, and on fall Saturdays it strikes often. The petit four was a simple sponge cake with a ball of cream on top of it covered in a sugar frosting. The cake was dense and the cream was pointless and the frosting was pure sugar.

Think the quintessential British pub with white tablecloths. Everything is wonderfully authentically British. We offer private banquet and dining rooms that are perfect for business meetings, graduations, weddings and any thing else you can think of to celebrate. We always accept reservations for parties of 5 or more. We can seat smaller parties on a first come, first serve basis, and your wait is never long because you are with friends.
The bakery sells their scones—we now have 11 in our freezer—and other British baked goods such as Eccles cakes, flapjacks, and tiffins. If you’ve been to England, the bakery case is like a peek into memory lane. They also sell clotted cream, real clotted cream, so stock up while you’re here! There is also an adorable selection of British teacups and teapots that are really difficult to resist. Ye Olde Steak House racks up Best Steak House in Knoxville awards every year, but its fame extends far beyond the city limits. On any given night there may be folks from 20 states in the restaurant, feasting on porterhouse, prime rib, sirloin strip or steak burgers.
Flame Grilled Steaks
The chocolate one was mildly better, but in general the petit fours should go the same way as the sandwiches. More than forty years, serving the best Iowa grain-fed feef has been customary. Thanks to our wonderful customers, a dream has become reality. We appreciate our customers, both new and old, and hope to serve 'steaks cooked to perfection' for many years to come. Chocolate Layer Cake With Chocolate Frosting - Dark, rich Devil's food layers topped with creamy dark chocolate frosting. You pour it into your cup over a strainer to catch any extra leaves.
Dinner reservations recommended,
I imagine that it would be quite amusing to be enjoying afternoon tea during a rugby match or other high stakes sport, since your teatime would be punctuated with drunken brawls. We were sitting there for 10 minutes before our tea order was taken, then after ordering it took another 20 minutes or more for the stand to arrive. The waitress was nice and checked up on us a few times, but we definitely felt neglected. The rest of the restaurant wasn’t busy either so there really was no reason to abandon their two tea girls.
Ye Olde Steak House began when friends and family pulled together to help create a friendly, rustic, down-home atmosphere that still exists today. The Ye Olde Steak House is now booking reservations for your parties. For larger parties, we do have private rooms available! It is BYOB for liquor or wine so you may bring your own.
Steak on Man-v-Food TV segment on the Travel Channel. The NY Strip steak is grilled to perfection at the Ye Olde Steak House in Knoxville TN. This restaurant has been reported as permanently closed.
The eggs inside are bland and don’t hold up to the overly hearty pastry. Unfortunately, their sandwich and savory course here falls into the stereotypical bland British food. The egg salad with watercress on white bread and the salmon and cucumber both had mayo and the mayo was a very prevalent, overwhelming taste. You can try those and let me know how you like them.
When holidays, graduations, office parties, special events are on the calendar -- Ye Olde Steak House is the place to gather. We serve only bottle beer, but you can being your own wine and we charge a $2 setup fee per person. Monday's are $7 Burger Night you get a king size steak burger plus one side. Unfortunately for me, most of the sandwiches contained mayonnaise so I ended up not being able to eat them. And all the sandwiches were triple decker, supplying more surface area for mayonnaise.
Thankfully hot water was brought midway through so the tea was warmed back up and lightened to slightly remove the bitterness. We both went with Earl Grey, and can really say nothing other than it was a standard expected Earl Grey. I really don’t think any Earl Grey is going to seem special after Buckingham Palace Garden Party. I always knew about this British pub on a main street in Santa Monica. But it was only recently that I discovered that this pub also had a tearoom, and was housing a secret that nearly made me weep for joy. All entrees are served with house salad, your choice of side dish and HOT homemade bread.
A La Mode - Enjoy a scoop of ice cream with any slice of cake. The sausage was made with beef and pork and surrounded in a pastry. As it was beef, I opted against trying it, but Mom did and said it was okay but needed some mustard. And American mustard at that because I’m warning you now, British mustard has a lot of horseradish in it. Definitely will clear your sinuses before you expect it. The quiche had a strong pepper flavor in the pastry; you can actually see the pepper flakes.
Steak combinations with shrimp, flounder or swordfish are popular. David who cuts the meat by hand, believes he has the best job in Knoxville. Real, authentic, magically creamy clotted cream from Devon, England. I can’t even begin to describe to you the taste and mouthfeel experience of a bite of scone with true clotted cream and strawberry jam. Every positive adjective you can possibly think of can describe some aspect of this singular bite. Ye Olde Steak House was his place of choice where he enjoyed a 20 oz strip steak.
The mix-ins were golden raisins and sultanas! Literally I was brought back to my happy days in England, when my mom would visit me and we would have cream tea throughout the country in every town we visited. The tearoom is hidden behind the main restaurant and the attached pub/bar.
