***3.5*** Ive been too Blackfinn twice since writing this review, so Ill do my best to summarize and give an overall assessment of my visits. FIRST VISIT The first visit was on a Sunday afternoon so the restaurant wasnt very crowded. When my party and I entered we were immediately greeted and seated upon entry. Our waiter was prompt, well mannered and patient. He gave us reasonable time to look over the menu. After about 5 minutes or so we told him that we were ready. One person ordered the fish and chips entrée and I was debating between the bacon wrapped meatloaf and the fish tacos. I then consulted with the waiter who informed me that his favorite entrée was the fish tacos, so I decided to choose that menu item. When the food arrived it looked pretty good and quite reasonably portioned. After taking a few bites of my fish tacos entrée, I have to say that I wasnt too impressed with it. The fish tacos were barely warm and the entire dish itself wasnt really basking with flavor for me. It felt like it was missing something but I couldnt quite put my finger on it. However, the person with me who ordered the fish and chips absolutely loved it, and proceeded to let me sample a taste, and I actually wish I would have gotten the fish and chips entrée instead because it was quite flavorful. SECOND VISIT The second visit I believe was on a Friday evening and this time the restaurant had a lot more customers then the last time. Once again when my party and I entered we were immediately greeted, however because we wanted to sit a low top table with a high chair it was a bit difficult to get my party seated immediately. However, the Blackfinn staff did everything possible to ensure we were seated immediately. It took a while but we were finally seated and were ready to order right away. I informed how good the fish and chips when I had visited prior so my party all got that with various differences in the sides, I ended up trying the bacon wrapped meatloaf, and the child with our party had grilled chicken with steamed broccoli. When the food arrived, once again it all looked awesome. However, when the childs grilled chicken meal arrived I discovered that the bottom of the grilled chicken was overly cooked. So I sent it back, and in doing so the manager came out and apologized for the mishap and said that the meal would be taking care of and we could have a round of drinks or any item dessert item off the menu. No one was really in the mood for drinks so we ended getting their funnel fries. I was informed by my party members that the fish and chips was good, buy for me the bacon wrapped meatloaf was better than the fish tacos but not something I think is mind blowing like I assumed (simply because I feel like anything dealing with bacon is awesome). Oh I cant forget that their funnel fries dessert is absolutely delicious, I highly recommend this is you arent on some kind of diet...hahahaha Overall I think that Blackfinn is a solid 3.5 stars but I gave a final rating of 4 stars because the employees and management ensured that our dining experience (which was a little rough) was good and I have to say they succeeded. It might not seem like it but dont worry Blackfinn I will be back.

Was very great at first. Now the service has gone down hill. Bartenders do an awesome job though. But if you get a table you get these entitled servers who are subpar. Hungover on Sundays and just have a go to hell attitude. I expect a lot from this franchise. I have been to Blackfinn DC and Blackfinn in Austin Texas. Servers were fantastic. The Bar service phenomenal. If you want to define your business in Loudon County you need the servers to go the extra mile.

Went for a weekday lunch and despite being nearly empty, the service was horrible - he spent way too long telling us sob stories about how awful his life is and how difficult his job is. I would say the food was ok, but we didnt even receive the food we ordered, so who knows. The manager did send us home with a coupon for a free appetizer, but we were so put off by the terrible service that we likely wont be back.

Awesome for an evening out! This place is new with great specials and superb customer service. Kellie, our server, was on point. She had a cute upbeat personality with perfect tableside manner! Definitely going back with our Blackfinn rewards card. -- A satisfied Local Guide!

The food and staff are amazing! I only give it a 4 star because every time I go there, the place feels empty. However, when there is a function going on, its a great experience! This place is for 35+ age range with a professional atmosphere so beware.

Good food, good beers on tap. After several trips back Im dropping my review by one star. The food is good but the service has been getting progressively worse. Not bad enough yet to never go back but its not at the top of my list anymore

We did a take out order and everything was great! The food was packaged great and was hot and ready and everything was right. The manager was there and greeted us and made sure our order was right. Food was great also super yummy

The mac and cheese could have been better. It was more like soup. Cook pasta for 5 minutes or less. Drain water and rinse with cold water. Then mix cheese and bake. Will make it taste less soupy and more stringy cheesy.

Big Fan! I had Fried Chicken Tacos w/ Chipotle something-or-other, real damn tasty. I sat at the bar, the Bartender was a funny dude. Great place to get something to eat after TopGolf. Ill be back, Im sure.

Had a big group of people and took more than an hour after being sat down to order food. Got up and went to the pizza shop across the street. Really good pizza there. Wish I could leave a zero star rating.

Food was really good. Fish tacos were great and the bacon-wrapped meatloaf is genius. Unfortunately, service is trash. Waitresses magically disappear and they gave us the wrong dressing for our salad.

Fast service, plenty of staff around. The menu is broad enough to please everyone, and the food is on par with most places in the area. Nice ambiance

We went for drinks at the tail end of my bachelorette party. Decent drinks, decent service, loud enough to have energy, quiet enough to talk.

The food was just ok. Probably a good place to sit and watch a sports game by the bar. Blackfinn wouldnt be my first choice to have dinner.
