So which restaurant was named the best hole-in-the-wall fried chicken joint in Tennessee?
Jackie's Dream
Jackie's Dream in Knoxville is waiting to serve up some of the best fried chicken you've ever had alongside the best soul food you could "dream" of. Try Jackie's Famous Fried Chicken with some southern sides or sample the Knox Hot Chicken, the East Tennessee city's take on the popular Nashville favorite.
Jackie's Dream is located at 1008 E Woodland Avenue in Knoxville.
Here's what Cheapsim had to say:
"You can get regular fried chicken or Nashville hot, but either way, this is soul food made with care. Need sides with your chicken? Consider the collard greens, fried green tomatoes, or beans (pinto, white, or green). While this place just looks like a boring cement box from the outside, it's the food that counts."
