Pete's: Serving Knoxville Since 1986
Pete’s Restaurant & Coffee Shop opened in 1986 by Pete & Rita Natour. The couple had one goal: to serve quality, home-cooked meals alongside warm, friendly service. They wanted to create a place where everyone felt right at home.
Pete’s is built on three core values: Courtesy, Consistency, and Cleanliness.
For nearly four decades, Pete’s has been a beloved staple in the Knoxville community, known for its welcoming atmosphere and delicious meals.
A big change took place in 2024, but regulars might not have noticed. Jake La Grander bought the restaurant with the goal to keep the restaurant exactly that way it was. While Pete’s is no longer family-owned, the same menu, the name, and great experience remain the same!

From classic breakfast dishes to mouthwatering burgers, sandwiches, and indulgent desserts, Pete’s offers a variety of meals that will remind you of home. Whether you're craving comfort food or something new, there's always something delicious waiting for you.
Stop by Pete’s and say hello to Jake and his fantastic team! Pete’s serves delicious breakfast and lunch Monday through Saturday, until 2pm.

Jake’s commitment to preserving the legacy of Pete’s Restaurant in the Knoxville community is crucial as technology advances. By connecting the small business to Knoxville’s growing tourism, future generations will be able to reminisce about this timeless restaurant. We are grateful to work alongside Jake and are happy to feature Pete’s on the Connecting Knox App.
