Must Try
Aubrey’s Restaurant is a Tennessee-based American comfort food chain known for hand-cut steaks, scratch-made soups, and daily specials across its Knoxville-area branches. Regulars come back for the Thunder Road Burger, Rattlesnake Pasta, and a rotating lineup of weekly deals. Menus shift slightly by location, so it pays to check ahead.
What Makes Aubrey’s Restaurant Different
Aubrey’s built its following on approachable Southern comfort food rather than a single showpiece dish. The menu spans grilled steaks, pasta, sandwiches, and a genuinely large soup and salad program, priced closer to neighborhood-restaurant territory than fine dining.
Its rotating daily specials, from Burger and Beer Night to half-price wine bottles, give regulars a reason to plan their week around it.
Signature Comfort Food
The Thunder Road Burger and Rattlesnake Pasta anchor the “Favorites” section, alongside grilled steaks like the Hawaiian Ribeye and a 9 oz.
Filet Mignon. Buttermilk Fried Chicken and North Carolina Catfish round out the “Specialties” list for guests who want something outside the steakhouse lane.
Scratch-Made Soups & Specialty Salads
Aubrey’s soup and salad program includes Baked Potato Soup, Tomato Bisque, and homemade Chili, alongside specialty salads like the Granny Smith Steak Salad and Strawberry Chicken Salad. Any salad can be built up with grilled chicken, salmon, sirloin, or tuna.
Daily Specials & Weekly Routine
Each night of the week carries its own deal: Burger and Beer Night on Mondays, discounted drafts on Tuesdays, discounted wings on Wednesdays, a Prime Rib special after 4pm on Fridays, half-price wine bottles on Saturdays, and homemade meatloaf on Sundays.
Kids’ Menu & Family Dining
Kids’ Dishes cover Chicken Fingers, Grilled Cheese, a Kid Cheeseburger, Mac & Cheese, Pasta Alfredo, and Faroe Island Salmon, making Aubrey’s a workable stop for families rather than just a date-night spot.
Menu Highlights by Category

Aubrey’s organizes its menu into small plates, soups and specialty salads, burgers and sandwiches, favorites, specialties, market vegetables and sides, kids’ dishes, and a Proprietor’s List of bottled wines.
The complete, unabridged pricing for every category appears in the tables further below.
Price Range & What a Meal Actually Costs
Aubrey’s sits in the casual-dining bracket, with individual menu items running from $5 sides up to a $34 Filet Mignon.
Two guests sharing a small plate, two entrees, and a side should plan on roughly $70 before drinks, tax, and tip, based on current menu pricing.
Ordering, Reservations & Delivery
Ordering is handled per location, primarily through ChowNow links listed on each branch’s page at aubreysrestaurants.com.
Because menu items and pricing can shift slightly by branch, always confirm current offerings on your specific location’s page before ordering, for example the Spring Hill location page.
