About us

Ale' Rae's (pronounced Allie Ray's) has been a household name in the Knoxville Food Truck culinary scene since 2016. We've expanded our presence and are now housed in a landmark building in the historic district of downtown Knoxville. David's two daughters took over operating the food truck as Chef David renovated, built and custom designed his unique rustic intimate setting to the restaurant. Starting out with just a couple other employees they opened the doors to kick off the start of this new journey in November of 2021.

The rustic atmosphere is effortlessly juxtaposed with the cuisine, which boasts traditional local dishes with a contemporary twist.

At the helm of it all is our multi-talented Chef David and his daughters; Allie and Rachel. They are known for employing innovative, cutting-edge cooking techniques which are used in the meticulous execution of each dish. This feast for the senses is not to be missed.
