Most of my review so far have been excellent. But, once in awhile I do make a bad choice for a meal. One of those was Sergent Pepperoni's. I ordered a medium Mediterranean to go and picked it up and unfortunately did not look at it before leaving. It was burned and black on top! Apparently that may be a thing for them because I've noticed some of their pictures on their website they look that way. I guess if I ever wanted to eat their again I would ask for no extra crispiness.
The pizza was pretty good in flavor and I did like their thick crust, but the burned charred taste was just too strong. The Mediterranean included: Spinach, House marinated Black Olives, Garlic, Onion, Sundried Tomatoes, Feta Cheese.
I will say a co-worker had a pizza from their a few weeks ago and it wasn't as crispy but still pushing the levels of doneness for the toppings. She had an order of Focaccia bread that looked good and unburned but I did not try it. It was very thick and topped with at least an inch of cheese.
Alas I cannot recommend them and I will leave off their website for said reasons.

Surin of Thailand
A great Sushi and Thai restaurant in Knoxville is Surin of Thailand. The nights to go for a super deal are Sun-Thur 5pm to close. It is half price sushi night and you can score a killer deal on a night out. This special is a staple for them so if you go it should always be available.
We have tried a little bit of everything on their menu. The Surin baskets and are flavorful. They are shrimp and chicken based filled with spices, cilantro, and corn in a pastry. Also the crab angels are pretty good too but I would pick the Surin baskets over the crab.
For sushi I don't think you can go wrong with anything they serve. Some our favorites are: Super Crunch, Double Shrimp, Rainbow, Tokyo Roll, and Kaboom Maki just to name a few.
As far as entrees I've only a had a few but some good ones to start with that aren't very spice are:Chicken Masaman with Avocado, Thai Noodle, and Massaman Beef.
They don't have their half price sushi menu on their site, so I guess that means you should pay them a visit to try it out!

Creamery Park Grille
BUT if you are looking for the hidden gem in Fountain City then look no further than right up the street from Littons. The Creamery Park Grille offers a fantastic selection on their menu. The wide variety varies from soups, salads, burger, and sandwiches. To gourmet meals featuring crab cakes and shrimp and grits. They also have a soda fountain and offer ice cream.
When we ate their we decided to try them because Litton's was over an hour wait for seating. Of course since we didn't get to eat a Litton's burger I had to try theirs. I must say I did prefer their burger over Litton's. It was juicy and perfectly cooked to my specifications. I also had a salad which was fresh and crisp. To finish off the meal I had Chocolate Raspberry Truffle ice cream. It was delicious and flavorful!
If you happen to be in Fountain City stop by for lunch, dinner or Sunday brunch. You won't regret it!

Littons Market
Littons Market is a very unique restaurant in Fountain City/Knoxville, TN. When it was opened in 1946 it was a grocery, hardware store, and gas station. In the 1980's they became known for their meat counter and they started taking orders for meals. Today they offer a wide variety of menu options and even have wonderful desserts and is only a restaurant.
The two times I have eaten their have been on a Friday night when its standing room only for a table. I would suggest trying a less busier time to see if your wait is less. Both times I have been their I have had a hamburger and fries. The food is very fresh since the meat is made daily. They offer several types of hamburger and both the fries and onion rings are crisp and hot when served. They also offer salads, sandwiches, and chicken and steaks. The desserts offered are cakes, pies, cookies, brownies, and a little bit of extras if they have them available.
