We came to the multi pot for a graduation celebration and had an unfortunate experience. The cheese something has changed with the cheese. I don’t know if it’s a different brand or just how they’re making it, but it was extremely greasy and not as satisfying as it typically is. The manager was helpful and resolved the issue and we appreciate that.
The Melting Pot - KnoxvilleResponded on May 16, 2025
Hi Lindsay,
Thank you for choosing The Melting Pot to celebrate such a special occasion, and for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear that the cheese course didn’t meet the high standards you’ve come to expect from us.
We appreciate your kind words about our manager’s efforts to resolve the issue, though we understand how disappointing it is when a celebration doesn’t go as planned. Your feedback about the consistency of the cheese is valuable, and we’re actively looking into it with our kitchen team to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
We hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity to provide the full experience you deserve.
Sincerely,
The Melting Pot – Knoxville

The atmosphere was dingy, low ceilings and poor air quality for a place filled with steaming hot pots (we smelled like food cooking when we left the place). Nothing great about it. The cheese we choose was not good at all, the Quattro Formaggio. It tasted like hot wine and moldy cheese. The ‘platter’ of veggies and bread served to dip was not great, very little qty. and poor quality. The GF bread bites were terrible. We skipped right to chocolate to redeem the experience and things got worse. We are Celiac and can’t have gluten- we made it known from the start yet with the chocolate they served two bites of banana, two pinapple bites and two strawberry bites surrounded by and touching gluten bakery bites, so needless to say, they didn’t ‘understand’ how to safely deliver a GF expierence.
One and done for us.

Beware if you visit on a special occasion such as Mother’s Day like we did. They don’t tell you beforehand that they have a “special” pre fixe menu. They wouldn’t let you order off the regular menu, substitute anything, or even choose your preferred cooking style. The “special” menu was very limiting and really frustrating since we weren’t told before making the reservation or before sitting down. We had picky eaters and food allergies in our group and being locked in with basically no choice in dinner really ruined the experience. When you pay the prices they charge (and it usually is well worth it) you should be allowed to at least choose from their normal menu of cooking options.
