Denton's Diner

Great service. Food was fresh and homemade. The burger was huge and tasty. Must be the good cook...lol.. The peach cobbler was homemade and delicious.

The owner made a point to stop and speak to everyone in the restaurant... she even gave me a hug before I left...lol

Absolutely delicious! The meatloaf, mashed potatoes, pinto beans and cornbread are to die for! Then, the homemade peach cobbler…yummy! I live in Alcoa, and it’s well worth the drive. I’ve had the owner’s chicken and dumplings for years; it’s the Thursday special! Looking forward to next meal at Denton’s.

This was a great experience and good food. Loved every bit of it.

I have high hopes for this place so I will start off saying this was the first day they opened so I’d like to come back in a month and leave another review on how much they have improved.

It’s a family owned restaurant making good soul food, which I think is super awesome!

Today the atmosphere was quiet, I would suggest music to liven it up a bit and it would help the wait time not feel as long too.

A smiling person or sign to tell people to seat themselves or wait to be seated would be helpful because everywhere is different so I was unsure what to do.

They were busy when we arrived so we waited 1 hour and 30 minutes on food but I expect the service to be better next time when they get their groove down.

The food we ordered appeared to all be hand made, which is amazing!
The burger was bigger than just a standard burger and was a fresh patty. Fries were deep fried, regular cut and taste good.
Country fried steak, gravy and mashed potatoes were all made fresh and felt like home, I would prefer just a touch more seasoning to all that but to each their own.
The slaw was a standard slaw but better than most.
The potato salad was my favorite, it was so full of flavor! It had like a non spicy bell pepper of some kind in it that really made the flavors pop, made me want to order more to take home.

I asked table next to me how their food was, they got meatloaf and chicken and dumplings and said they really enjoyed it.

Prices were affordable and portions were more than fair.

I was to full to make it to dessert so next time I’ll start with dessert. Today was banana pudding and butterfinger cake!

I wish I would have taken a photo of the food before we started eating but we just couldn’t wait!
