So I have no idea what to do. With the cherries. I guess eat one to see if I get sick? I have no idea. But just a replacement would be great. As I drive by there all the time. Oh well, my loss of $28 I reckon.

I tried Aubrey's in Oak Ridge back in '22, and I have to admit I was not impressed. The food was…read moreacceptable and the service was good, but I did not care for the beverage options. As a diabetic, I avoid sugary soda, etc so I asked what my options were and was told it was Diet Coke. I find Diet Coca Cola to be vile, even among diet sodas, so that was a no go. Many local restaurants have begun offering Coke Zero, a much more palatable alternative, but not them. I settled for iced tea. The tea was not great, as is often the case, so I told them I'd likely come more frequently if they improved their beverages. All that being said, I recently tried again and found that they do now carry Coke Zero. And the meal was excellent (maybe because I wasn't disappointed in the soda, maybe it just improved). Regardless, of why, I can now say it was an excellent experience, either way the dinner rolls being a standout in my memory. I shall not wait three and a half years to return.

Aubrey's is almost always packed, which makes it seem like a standout spot in our small town. After…read morevisiting a few times, though, I've found it to be... pretty average. They do offer outdoor seating, which is nice, although I'm not sure yet if it's dog-friendly--something I'll have to check out next time. We usually sit at the bar, and one thing I've learned is that you need to be very specific with your drink order if you have preferences. For example, if you order a dirty martini without clarification, be prepared for a glass that tastes almost entirely like olive brine. Asking for "light" on the olive juice is a must. Even a standard vodka martini doesn't automatically come with a lemon twist, which feels like a small but noticeable miss. Service has consistently been solid--friendly and attentive, about what you'd expect. The food, however, has been hit or miss. I tried the FGTs twice, hoping the first experience was just an off night, but they still weren't memorable enough to order again. The steak tips appetizer has been the one standout for us--really flavorful--but if you're planning on ordering a steak entrée, doubling up on steak feels a bit redundant. The salads that come with the meals are reliably good, and the steaks themselves are decent, especially with the loaded baked potato on the side. That said, I ordered a fish dish on one visit that was forgettable enough that I can't even recall exactly what it was--just that I wouldn't order it again. Overall, Aubrey's is perfectly fine, but it hasn't wowed me. At this price point, I think there are better options around town. We might stop back in from time to time if we're in the mood for something different.

After a few visits, I figured it's time to finally write a review for Buffalo Mountain Grill…read more BMG is an unassuming spot--definitely not trying to impress you with its looks. When you walk in, there's no host stand or friendly greeter, just a sign that says, "Seat yourself and let us know you're here." The layout feels a bit patched together, like a restaurant built from spare parts. It's dimly lit, and the interior design doesn't seem like a top priority--so I wouldn't recommend it for a first date or an attempt to impress someone. It has strong dive bar energy, just in restaurant form. There is a small outdoor patio, and the bonus? It's dog-friendly. Inside, there are plenty of TVs, so it leans a bit toward sports bar territory--but without the usual rowdy crowd or game-day vibe. Service has been solid overall. On our first attempt to eat here, they let us know they were short-staffed and wouldn't be able to serve us for an hour. Disappointing, sure--but I appreciated the honesty and that they didn't waste our time. On return visits, service has been on point. We were greeted quickly, our server was helpful and attentive, and food came out hot. There is a bar, but don't expect craft cocktails or a resident mixologist. It's best to keep it simple here: grab a beer on tap or something straightforward like a whiskey neat. Anything more complicated might fall flat. As for the food, it's been consistently good. The hot wings are a standout--crispy with a flavorful hot sauce that actually delivers on heat. I've also tried the fish & chips and the burger; both were solid and satisfying. The only inconsistency was with the side salad. The first time it came out with a fresh spring mix, but on another visit, it was just iceberg lettuce--not a dealbreaker, but a little disappointing. We used to go to Oakey's for our dive-bar wings and casual grub, but Buffalo Mountain Grill has taken that spot for us. It's quirky, no-frills, and definitely not fancy--but they serve up legit food and deliver where it counts. Give it a shot. Just don't come looking for ambience--come hungry.

This is the THIRD time this has happened, and I'm officially done trying to give this place…read morechances. Tonight I called at 8:25 and spoke to someone about placing an order. I called back at 8:30 (literally FIVE minutes later) to place the order while I was already sitting outside, and the same man suddenly tells me they're closed. Mind you, the store hours say they close at 10 PM. When I told him I had just spoken to him 5 minutes before, he immediately got hateful and rude, started raising his voice, and then turned the lights off like I was bothering him for trying to order food during business hours. Just 4-5 days ago the SAME thing happened except it was around 9 PM. At this point it's honestly giving pure laziness and unprofessional behavior. I'm really not understanding how this place is still open if employees can just close whenever they feel like it and treat customers like trash. He refused to tell me his name and was literally yelling saying his name is "Buffalo Grille" (???) which tells me everything I need to know. I'm sure I'm not the first customer who's been yelled at or cussed at over the phone. I will be calling every day until I get answers from a manager or owner because this is unacceptable. DO NOT waste your time here. Still no apology from owner

Sigler's is fairly unassuming but as a beer shop, it's all about the beer. You'll find a bar near the entry on the left with tables extending towards the back. The beers were mostly an assortment of offerings from local breweries - we were there to sample the beer they produce (they are also a local brewpub under the AlphaBrews brand). I tried a flight including: * Bless Your Lime Fruit Beer - 5% ABV - Super neutral, low level lime note, almost creamy across the tongue, easy drinker. 3/5 * Into the Blue Wheat Beer - Fruited 5% ABV - Tart body with a blueberry nose, daily easy drinking. Great lacing - make more of this! 3.5/5 * Tweed and Feed English Mild - 5.8% ABV - Pretty tasty brown with roasty malt body, tiny bit flat, bitter finish. 4/5 * Midnight Vanilla Milk Porter - 5.5% ABV - Roast malt creamy backbone, notes of chocolate and coffee, I'm not getting much vanilla, mostly a tiny bit nose. 4/5 Overall I think the beers were competently made, the service was fantastic - the guy behind the counter knew his stuff and was super personable. We're planning on hitting Sigler's on a regular basic - not much else in this area of Chatt.

Cocktails were well done and the wine pairings recommended astute. Nothing to complain about except some of the items were cold - there was one person serving the entire bar and restaurant and obviously had some timing issues. Also some attitude: after delivering cocktails to my wife and me he forgot her mom's - after I reminded him he said "oh I know" and then proceeded to serve four other patrons' order at the bar and then another two top's before even starting hers. It finally arrived after the cold mushrooms were delivered. I'm chalking this up to a short staffed situation and a specific individual, so if you live nearby or are traveling through looking for a nice spot for dinner or lunch I would definitely recommend. The environment is also very pleasant with a nice bar and dining room of high top tables.
