    This is actually inside the brewery where you order your beer. Lots of people looked very happy! I love the vibe!

    This place was so cool! The people there were all ages and all types! It was warm and welcoming, and tastes were encouraged!

    Soy fried potatoes

    Quite a wonderful place. Take an old TVA building with lots of room and several interesting spaces and transform it into an outstanding brew pub, with creative, tasty, filling locally made brews and ales. I could spend long days Amir nights here. Friendly, knowledgeable barkeeps. Laid back, totally relaxed vibe, with game boards and decks of cards provided. But the kicker and why we went back twice is the food. Who would have thunk that a bit of Big Easy could be found in Tennessee's Appy Mountains? Wonderful shrimp and grits floating in a rich roux. Unbelievable generous charcuterie board. Over the top crunchy sprouts and then zingy soy-fried potatoes. Just the start! Sandwiches and burgers looked huge. Next time!

    Go get a brew!!

    Great place! Literally kicking myself for not trying this place sooner. Went on a Sunday evening. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Atmosphere is family friendly, pleasant music, also noted that outdoors is dog friendly. I ordered the Blackened Grilled Chicken sandwich and it was phenomenal, others in my group had the hamburger and BBQ sandwich- all were very good. All the food seems of higher quality and has unique flavors. We all picked "potato salad" as our side- to me this is not actual potato salad, but was the best roast potatoes I have ever had; they have a unique glaze as well. The beers were great, service was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back. Side note: there is a great area across the street where u can park and view the river, or walk a 2 mile loop (dogs are allowed).

    Breadsticks with beer cheese
    Nicholas M.

    First I would like to say the owners (I believe bill was one of them and his wife im sorry I forgot her name) are absolutely amazing. They really know how to make the customer happy and both have great customer oriented attitudes. And because of this people will come back solely for this experience alone. They have an upstairs with tvs, lounge area and full service bar as well. The food is also just as great as the service! Brisket was cooked perfectly - not dry. Savory is the best word for this brisket and the cook should feel good knowing he's providing an insane product. The fries were perfectly crispy and salty the breadsticks just the right amount of salt and the beer cheese compliments the side exceptionally. If you like grits, I mean good southern style old school how grandma used to make them grits this place has them. They were cooked nicely through and through and each bite was never plain. Great job to the cooks and thank you for a great overall experience here to the owners! Will be back for beer tastings and other items on the menu im sure it won't disappoint.

    fried chicken sandwich & trout dip

    A nice find out in the middle of the mountain. 8 miles from our KOA Campground.... easy.... why not! The drive up is beautiful. The Clinch River is across the street and the Norris Dam is just up the road a bit with a nice park. We ordered our beers and sat at the window looking out at the fish pond. Too hot to sit outside this day... but it looked inviting. Though we didn't eat..... the beer selection and food menu was good. Worth the drive......

    My wife's burger. Rock solid. Really nice bun, and good tasting burger....crinkle fries rule.

    I love places like this. My wife and I travel with our dog and are always on the lookout for pit stops that aren't too far off of the highway. About 10 minutes off of 75 outside of Knoxville is this little guy, tucked away inside a beautiful state park. The beers were good, the food was delicious, and the view of the tree lined mountain from the dog friendly patio couldn't be beat. They don't have a huge menu, but that's nitpicking.

    My wife and I dropped in here early on a Saturday. Nice space and great beer I had the amber ale and my wife had the regular beer both beers are crisp and tasty. For lunch we split the burger the salad and the pimento cheese app. All the food was nicely done. Super nice staff.

    A quick Yelp search while in the area led us here. It was a good find for sure…read more Loved that even on cold days, there is a closed-in patio that allows pups! Our pup travels everywhere with us, so finding these spots is important to us. It was very spacious too - so we weren't on top of other guests. They have an extensive menu and the same with the beer list. There is something for everyone, from hoppy IPAs to fruity sours. Not sure which beer you may like - get a sample. Or try a flight! For lunch, we got the deviled eggs to start - something that is a go-to for us. They were solid and enjoyable. For the main, we opted for the Abridged burger and the Chicken club. Both were solid as well. Fries were crispy, but a bit over-salted, and I enjoy some salt. So made a note for next time to "go light". Service was good too. Overall - really only a tiny detail to 'complain' about, but easily taken care of next time. We will be back for sure - I want to try their pizza!

    I'm have YET to be disappointed at Abridged on North Peters Road., Knoxville. Any appetizer or…read moreentree ordered has been delicious . If you want a personal pizza, try the vodka, pancett, pepperoni, yummy Also love a burger or the chicken nachos! Whether bar or table service, servers do stop and ask anything needed. There are times that it's really busy so if you're ordering a personal pizza and sandwiches make sure your sandwiches are ordered first, I say this since they have a kitchen and a pizza kitchen, so I have had pizza come out first and friends at the table waiting on a sandwich for sometime. The ambiance is inviting, cocktail bar as well as beer tap bar, and several areas of tables to enjoy a meal. Worth stopping in!
