Business in the front, party in the back! We’re just two months away from the Alley opening and with it comes a whole new Walnut Kitchen experience. While our dining room will maintain the same quaint, neighborhood style ambiance that it has been known for the past 9 years, our new outdoor space will offer guests a different higher energy vibe. Those wanting to take in that new experience will be invited to join us after dinner around a fire pit or table for some live tunes and cocktails Thursday-Sunday. Our music schedule is set!!

Things are looking a bit different out back! While we’re all excited for our sister restaurant Pinchy’s to open, the Walnut Kitchen is finally getting its own, proper outdoor seating and new outdoor cooking area. We can already see the space alive with people, live music and some backyard bbq to give our guests a new look at the Walnut Kitchen as we get ready to start our 10th year serving Blount County and travelers from near and far. We appreciate everyone excusing the mess for a few weeks!

One of East Tennessee’s most beloved restaurants. For 9 years, The Walnut Kitchen has welcomed guests home, served our community as a place of celebration, respite and otherwise. Creating memories around the table and sharing our craft in East Tennessee.
