Here’s where to get takeout food during coronavirus shutdown
Although all restaurants are closed for dining in, there are still many in the Clinton, Norris, Andersonville and Rocky Top areas that remain open for curbside or drive-through pickup, and in some cases, even delivery.
Most fast-food places are still operating their drive-throughs, including: McDonald’s, Burger King, Taco Bell, Arby’s, Krystal, Hardee’s, Bojangles, Subway, Sonic (Rocky Top), KFC/Taco Bell (Rocky Top), Wendy’s, Zaxby’s, and most national pizza chains, among others.
