It took us a while to actually go -- my husband was skeptical, insisting "locals don't know good pizza" -- so I pulled up some reviews and photos online to talk him into it. So glad I did! The pizza was excellent: wood-fired, chewy crust, loaded with toppings, and a great sauce. Everything you want in a pie. The beer was just as good. This is officially our go-to pizza spot now. A few things to know before you go: it's only open select hours, so check ahead. It's dog-friendly (they've even got their own resident pups on the property), and it's just 12 minutes from Frozen Head State Park -- perfect for a post-hike meal. Oh, and the view is great too. So stoked to have this in my neighborhood!

The vibe is cozy and laid-back, perfect for hanging out with friends or winding down after a long day. We ordered the nachos- nothing Michelin rated, but the perfect snack when paired with late night drinks and pinball. We ordered the full serving, but next time would get a half since we were unable to finish it. We spent most of the evening chatting with the friendly bartenders. One of them was newer (I think her name was Cat), and when I couldn't decide on a cocktail, she offered to make me a surprise drink based on what I like. She came up with a sour cherry vodka creation that was absolutely delicious -- spot-on for my taste! The main bartender was amazing as well, I believe her name was Ophelia (it started with an "O"). The music, decor, and overall atmosphere make this place feel like a cool neighborhood hangout. Everyone there was super welcoming, and if we lived in Knoxville, we'd definitely be regulars. Highly recommended for anyone who loves great drinks, classic pinball, and good company!

I had onion rings as a snack and hubby god a couple of corn dogs and fries with his root beer. The onion rings were amazing! I passed on the corn dogs but the fries were good as well. We stopped by a few weekends back but the place was really crowded. They had live music and the singer was really good! I did see that on Sundays they have a Singo, I had to ask! A musical bingo. They play a snippet and you mark your card. They were offering prizes as well! Sounds cool, so we may have to go back for that, if not just for the cold drinks Atmosphere... Do I would definitely say that I would bring my kid to this establishment... there are all kinds of games available to play! That being said it would make a great date night! Service... the girls there are so nice! We went at an off time, so there was only the two of us at that time and one lady working. She did a really good job juggling waiting on us and cooking. Before we left, a second girl arrived and the place starting picking up after that. By the way the hours listed here on Yelp are wrong! We read the sign and they are open 7 days a week! M-Sat they open at 11am and Sundays at Noon. Just FYI. I will definitely be back as much as possible! Can't wait to take my daughter!

Abridged Beer Company - A Standout Culinary Surprise…read more As a former restaurant owner and a lifelong foodie, I've learned to keep my expectations high and my praise rare. Abridged, however, earned every bit of this five‑star review. My husband and I are devoted food lovers, though as a sober couple, breweries aren't usually our first choice. Still, the buzz around Abridged was impossible to ignore, and I'm glad we listened. From the moment we walked in, it was clear this place has a loyal following--it's loud, lively, and often packed. If you prefer a more manageable noise level, do yourself a favor and book a reservation in the dining wing. It's still energetic, but you can actually hear the person across from you. The service team deserves real credit. They move with purpose, know the menu, and never leave you waiting. Even better, Abridged offers multiple mocktails and non‑alcoholic beers--something many breweries overlook entirely. It's refreshing to feel included rather than accommodated. Now, the food. This is where Abridged truly shines. We were so impressed on our first visit that we returned the very next week. Visit One: - Pot Roast Nachos - Signature Burger - NA Beer The nachos alone could convert anyone into a regular--rich, hearty, and unexpectedly refined. The burger was equally impressive, balanced and beautifully executed. Visit Two: - Pot Roast Nachos (again, because how could we not) - Meatball Pizza - Mocktail + NA Beer The consistency was remarkable. Those nachos were just as spectacular the second time, and the pizza was a standout in its own right--comforting, flavorful, and clearly crafted with intention. Abridged has quickly become one of our favorite new spots, and we're already planning our next visit. There's so much more on the menu calling our names, and if our first two experiences are any indication, we're in for a treat. A must‑try for anyone who loves great food--whether you drink or not.

I am more of a mole guy than a queso guy when it comes to Mexican food - Braceros is a step up from standard TexMex but a step below east coast offerings.
