Although we didn't have any pizzia several folks near us said it was great. We had a flight of four and both really liked the blackberry cider. Normally we would not pick a sweet cider but this one deserves taking a four pack home. The place has a great outdoor seating area that's very relaxing. The fans were out so the slight breeze was nice. And a few days later we went back for more Blackberry Cider!

We have lived here for 5 1/2 years and I've heard great things about Gatlinburg Brewing Company in…read morethe past. Well we decided to finally try it. We walked in and in front of us a big group had just walked in so we stood off to the side. A lay approached and said we could sit anywhere. I asked if they had more rooms or was the area inside and the outdoor area the only rooms they had. She looked at me puzzled and said , "This is it." I was curious but she seemed to take offense to it. We walked out to the patio area and saw two rocking chairs facing the parking lot and thought we would hang there. My sister suggested we go to the bar and order our drinks because it may take too long for a server. We went back inside and I asked her to wait because I had to run to the restroom. I walked in and the seat was up and the toilet was filthy. I went to the sink and there was scum and gunk around the faucet. I wanted to make sure it wasn't water stains so I took a wet paper towel and easily wiped some of the scum off. Disgusting right? Right off the bat that tells me that they are not clean and don't care to be. I have been in their service industry for years and this shows me you do not even clean your bathroom once a night. You have to clean and check your bathrooms more than once or twice a day in the restaurant business. PERIOD Meanwhile my sister had a nasty experience with the same bartender who we found out is the Bar Manager Nariyah apparently. My sister asked her if they could make an Old Fashion to which the lady replied of course. Then my sister asked who made them because she wanted to know how they made them and the lady nastily said she was the only one working so it was her. Well there were two people behind the bar, her and a man. By the time I came out of the bathroom my sister said she ordered her drink but it wasn't drinkable. She said BTW this lady is nasty. I said ask them to make you something else. She cautiously went up and meekly asked the bartender if she could make her something else and the lady replied that she couldn't comp liquor or make her anything without charging her then proceeded to tell my sister she went over the ingredients with her and she still chose to order it. I stood back like wow? My sister said, "you're not nice."She told her we are locals and this was our first visit and we will never be back. I said let's go. Left the drink and walked out.

Nice job, but you get a lemondrop pretty much the same no matter where you go. Beer is very good here. I did not have one I did not enjoy.

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.

We grabbed a spot outside, and the atmosphere was perfect -- relaxed, lively, and tucked right along the water. I ordered their Mexican lager, and it was crisp, refreshing, and honestly the ideal post‑trail drink. The food hit the spot too. My adult chicken fingers and fries came out hot and delicious, and I couldn't resist adding boiled peanuts (which were absolutely worth it). A friend ordered the massive pretzel, and it disappeared so fast we didn't even get a photo -- always a good sign. The staff made the experience even better. As non‑locals wandering in after a full day outdoors, we felt genuinely welcomed. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and patient as we figured out what to order. Frog Level Brewing is the kind of place that makes you want to come back -- great beer, great food, great people, and a great vibe. Perfect end to a mountain day.
