“Spending a few days in Knoxville for the first time and ijams was probably one of the most recommended activities. It did not disappoint. SO many trails. Very nice views of the Tennessee River and Mead Quarry Lake. Multiple places to put in boats. Some cool animal exhibits at the visitor center. People were very helpful in advising which trails to take. Definitely check it out if you're looking for an outdoor activity in the Knoxville area.”
“I would say my experience here was pleasant. I was greeted by everyone with a warm atmosphere. The inside is beautiful and well maintenance. The bathrooms themselves were clean to top-notch. There's an ATM iinside if you need it. The parking lot in the front is small, but there's plenty in the back.”
“There's really no reason to buy a puppy from a pet store when there are lots of sweet dogs to adopt from shelters. The Humane Society in Knoxville is full of passionate people who really care about the animals and can provide personal recommendations and advice. There are new animals every week so you can visit multiple times and observe the animals before making a commitment. I'm very thankful I found this place and hope that you will find a pet here.”
“I love city hills! I just admire everything pastor Brandon and Kara have done in this place and all the other staff!! I am now very involved in the church and praise God for this blessing. Join us soon!!! @cityhills.church”
“Exceptional service. Beautiful dining room. Terrific food. Did I mention exceptional service? Wife and I came for dinner. Everything about it was terrific. This is the second time here. Last time we had a party for 30 in a private room. Both times food and service were outstanding. I don't know why more people don't talk about this place.”
“I have been by this location several times in the past when I visited Knoxville but never stopped. Today I decided I was going to stop and check it out and I am glad that I did. Very interesting and informative time. This location would take you back in time when life was much simpler, but yet much harder.”
“Not the nicest equipment but it gets the job done for a downtown gym. My main gripe is they got rid of the towel service back when COVID hit but never restored it which is a huge pain and seems a little ridiculous. Only gym I've been to outside of COVID that didn't offer towel service.”

“Wonderful place for families who shouldn’t have to worry about anything besides their child or selves. Very clean, very nice, they give you your space. Super thankful for this place.”
“A friend of mine was delighted and elated to receive a surprise bouquet of flowers during her stay! What a fantastic organization that makes people smile through the inside-out.”
“A great community farm. My family attended the fall festival this Saturday. My girls enjoyed activities very much, and I appreciated the live music and farm. Had a great time. Thanks for the great volunteer work and service. Saw Ethiopian eggplant for the first time. Will try to grow them in my garden next year.”
“This is a great place to shop. I've bought several things for my kids, my mom, and myself. The people are always so friendly and helpful. I love the store. Being a single mom of two kids the community chest is an absolute blessing and I appreciate all of them from the bottom of my heart. ??”
“I, unfortunately, did not really feel that comfortable or safe when I visited. I don't know if that's more on me or I was just not there at a good time.That said, while there, I kinda had an odd thought that maybe some space could be set up for people in the local LGBT+ community to sell their creative projects - from sewing, woodwork, and millinery (hat designs)...to books, art, and maybe music.”
“Incredibly attentive & sensitive to the whole child concept. Front desk to the entire staff know all children by name! Exposure & lessons in a foreign language, swimming lessons, soccer, art, motor skill practice, pre-academic lessons, & social development. Grateful our two grands have attended daycare summer camps, & their after school programs. Thank you MSCDC ❤️”
“They had too much stuff in the building that means they're doing good I guess but the employees was on lunch break when I went in so I can't say about their work ethics.”
“Emerald youth offers opportunities in sports of all types around the Knoxville area two children who might not have that opportunity. Basketball volleyball swimming after school assistance the list is endless if you have questions contact emerald youth and ask what they have available!”
“The staff is amazing there! The prices were great. I’m so happy with everything I bought:) I asked Gina for advice and she was super helpful and sweet. You can tell everyone there has a heart of gold. One of the best experiences I’ve ever had:)”
“Prices very per item, some things are a bit over priced, building needs a little up dating, not enough employees to serve you. Decent discounts, plenty to choose from. Plenty of parking, easy to locate from street. Cleanliness of place is a little dusty. But still very clean considering thift stores go. Doors need to be alittle adjusted, often too heavy to push opened. Employees are helpful and polite.”

“Great service to the community. Everyone should support Sunshine. Provides place to work for People with intellectual disabilities. Great staff. Clients very helpful. I bought some insulation they had remove from industrial refrigeration.”
“Very clean, smaller goodwill store. Customer service is great. Because of the smaller location, there is not as much variety as other locations. Merchandise is overall good quality if you know what to look for.”

“Incredible leadership and communication from the director. Loving, knowledgeable teachers who take great care of the kids in their classroom. LOA quickly became like home to us. We love them dearly!”
“I would certainly recommend the salvation army to anyone who is homeless and trying to improve your situation. There is a lengthy amount of paperwork to fill out at first. They have lots of rules you must obey. Random Alcohol and drug testing. Curfew hours. A low tolerance for disobedience to their rules.The facility itself is quite nice. Lunch and dinner are provide free and the food is good. Guests are required to do daily housekeeping chores. Upon acceptance, they will give you up to 60 days emergency shelter free if charge. After that there is possiblity if extended stay by paying rent(at counselors disgression). They will provide some help and support in getting treatment for addictions and finding work. You are expected to look for and find work and make progress toward becoming independent again. It's not a permanent residence institution, but more of a transitional resource for those who are trying to improve their lives.On the down side of things, the place is currently at capacity at the time of my writing this. They are under staffed and strained to handle the job load. Good luck trying to get anyone to answer the phone. The employees I've met are caring people tho who will try to help if play straight with them. I've been is several shelters this past year and this is by far the best of them all.”
“They went through growing pains during their remodel. I have shopped here for years. Every month the store gets cleaner, brighter, and add better inventory. Plus their prices are reasonable, especially given other thrift stores in the area.
I hate to write this review because it’s more competition for me?. However, their current team of employees seems to be stabilized and I find something every time I go in the door (at least 3X a week)
Excellent job improving service, cleanliness, and quality!”
“For a place that relies on donations, they sure don’t make it easy to donate. What the heck. I guess they close at 5 PM on Sundays… And I pulled up right at 5 PM and tried to hand them 2 big bags of clothes, and some guy with glasses said they couldn’t take it because they were closed. Cringe. These were all really nice and gently used name brand things, but I will be donating to Karm now instead. Sorry, people are busy and they need to accept donations when they are readily available, rather than just on their own time frame. At the bare minimum, they should have a big metal donation box outside like many other places do”
“I can't say enough about the FWKCC and Julie Blaylock!!! Such an amazing group to be associated with and Julie goes out of her way to make sure they are able to support all business members that are involved. Members support and help each other whenever they can. Great organization that thrives from excellent leadership and support. If you're business is not a member, I highly recommend joining!!!!”
