About us
Fresh Ingredients. Killer Comfort Food.
Still Cooking with Heart after 15 Years
In May 2011, Bonni and Drew McDonald had a vision of what a neighborhood restaurant could be: a place to gather and enjoy elevated comfort food made with ingredients sourced from local farms. Their dream was realized when they opened The Plaid Apron. Fifteen years later, they're still working hand in hand with the same local Knoxville farmers, still turning out the cinnamon rolls, grits, almond cakes, and smash burgers that guests rave about by name, and still hosting intimate wine dinners that turn a great meal into a memorable occasion. Made from scratch and with care, every single day.

This place was a recommendation from a friend. Went to visit our daughter from UT on Labor Day weekend and brought her here for brunch. It's in a beautiful neighborhood, great location, lots of parking, indoor and patio seating. Food was very good!

So amazing. Finding restaurants with great gluten free options always makes me happy and these were fabulous. They have gluten free bread available and the staff was very knowledgeable about the options.

We love to eat local when we travel. The Plaid Apron hit the spot for breakfast in Knoxville. Great bartender, who took time to make personalized recommendations. The special with a sausage loaded pancake was the bomb!!
