Good Golly Tamale - Knoxville

First off, I didn’t know this place would have as cool of a vibe as it did. Otherwise, I would have planned on dining there instead of ordering to-go. The individual that took my order was super friendly, informative, and quick to bring me my goodies. I arrived pretty early, so my vegan options were the calabasita tamales and all the sides. They usually have more tamale options, but a little later in the day. Also, they have compostable containers and they asked if I needed the utensils(probably compostable,too), which is much appreciated, because I planned on using my own, and dislike the extra waste. I’ll be back! 100% Updated from previous review on 2024-08-14

Best Tamales I've ever had Lots of vegan options 2 tamales and all the sides Updated from previous review on 2024-05-31

I would give this place 5 stars if I could. I’ve always wanted to like tamales, but have always been slightly disappointed by the lack of flavor. The Tamales here were absolutely magnificent! They were the tamales I’ve always hoped for but could never find. I had the full plate and the flavor and texture combination was wonderful. The restaurant staff were all welcoming and kind. We will be back.

The tamale was wonderful and the sides were excellent and huge.

Excellent tamale at a reasonable price. relaxing cozy atmosphere with a friendly and helpful staff. good choice of beer.
