Knox Mason

Southern Tradition Meets Modern Aesthetics Working closely with Southern farms and artisans, familiar dishes are recast to reflect the 21st century.
(523)

The newest addition to the growing Knoxville downtown restaurant landscape, Knox Mason marries elements of traditional Southern cuisine with a vibrant, contemporary aesthetic. Chef/Owner and Knoxville native Matt Gallaher's seasonal menus draw from his 15 years of cooking experiences as Sous Chef at Blackberry Farm, cooking for rock stars around the Globe and, most recently as Tennessee's Executiv

e Chef for Governor Haslam in Nashville. And the full-service bar includes the best domestic, craft and micro-brews, wines from Tennessee and around the world alongside seasonal cocktails. We offer dinner service Tuesday through Saturday. A late night menu Friday and Saturday, and Brunch on Saturday and Sunday. We invite you to stop by and try our original cuisine inspired by the South we love.

After nearly a decade, we've made the difficult decision to close our doors for good on Saturday, July 2. People have always been our most valuable asset and while shuttering the space will be hard, parting ways with our staff and saying goodbye to our guests will be the
hardest part.
Opening our doors to our first guests in late 2012, in a tiny spot at 131 S Gay St., we forged countless relationships with our neighbors, guests and farmers and we are proud that we we're able to bring a chef-driven, locally focused concept to Downtown Knoxville.
The restaurant industry is challenging but it’s incredibly rewarding and creating and sharing wonderful memories with our guests over the years have made this journey SO worth it!! My dream was to open a restaurant and Knox Mason exceeded my expectations in so many meaningful ways. Restaurants are a team sport and we wouldn't have had a speck of success without the dozens of wonderful people that I've been able to work with, learn from and mentor over the years. If we had ANY success it was their fault! ☺️
We've always taken a personal approach to how we operate, but, at the end of the day, we are a business. We pivoted our model when we moved to Embassy Suites in November 2019 and we were busier than ever in the opening days, but, sadly, COVID knocked the wind out of our sails just 4 months in. The resulting challenges of a closed dining room, followed by social
distancing and half capacity for over a year took its toll. Toiling to get back to our pre-COVID levels has proven to be beyond our reach.
All this being said, we'd love to see you before we close for good! Book a reservation on Openable or call 865 770 5988 to secure a spot. We look forward to serving you Pork Rinds, Killed Salad and Banana Pudding one last timel
With Sincerest Thanks and Deepest Gratitude
Matt, David and the Knox Mason Team
