Where Food
& Family
Come
Together
What started with just one Copper Cellar restaurant in 1975 has since grown to become a diverse collection of restaurant concepts, each offering a unique experience crafted just for you — our incredible East Tennessee community and visitors from around the world.
When the original Copper Cellar first opened in Knoxville, it was founded on a few simple principles: deliver memorable meals using the finest ingredients, ensure guests enjoy their experience, and make sure they leave satisfied. Now, whether you’re looking for a cozy brunch, a lively trivia night, or a special occasion spot, The Copper Cellar Family of Restaurants has a place for you and yours. Come by one of our many restaurant locations to see why guests agree: Life tastes better here!
The Family Values
Led by second-generation members of both the family and the business, upwards of 1,500+ team members across East Tennessee embody our hospitality values and community-forward culture by forming strong connections with new and long-time guests. Whether it’s making friends around a table or getting involved in our community, our growing team is committed to serving and empowering others — the Volunteer way!
Serve Up
Fresh Food
We strive for consistent excellence by creating menu items that are simple, yet delicious and always served fresh in a clean environment.
Use Quality Ingredients
We use only the finest ingredients, often sourced locally and inspired by our region, to ensure every dining experience meets the highest standards.
Create Special Moments
We focus on perfecting every detail of the guest experience to make every moment with us feel like it’s a special occasion.
Serving East Tennessee & Beyond
In the decades since opening the first restaurant, the family and the company vision have expanded to include seven unique restaurant concepts with 19 locations across Knoxville, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Maryville, and surrounding areas. In 2020, we also opened the doors to the Copper Cellar Marketplace as a way to further support the community with all your family favorites at one convenient market in West Knoxville.
For those special occasions in life, we created Copper Cellar Catering & Events to give families and businesses access to quality, full-service banquet solutions. Choose from one of three elegant facilities for your next event, including The Showroom at Five Points, a 5,000 square foot venue in historic downtown Maryville.
