    Nice lounge spot by the water to sip a cold brew!

    While exploring options near my new found home in TN Yelp lead me here. And I'm glad it did! First things - the exterior patio is so freaking fun! Lots of tables with shade umbrellas, a pool/fountain, lots of plants, and tons of fun & funky decor! I was absolutely going to sit outside to enjoy this! The inside of the beer house is great too - with the fun theme continued if that's more your thing. It's also important to note the beer house and restaurant are in SEPERATE buildings! Not an issue really - you just have to walk over, order, then they bring it to you. The beer house has a lot of brews on tap - local and imports! I believe there were about 24 to choose from so lots of options! You can even do flights (4 or 6) which I always do when at a new place to see what I might like a full pint of in the future. There was only one beerista to serve a long line of thirsty patrons, but she moved the line fairly quickly. The restaurant next door didn't have the same appeal as the beer joint and I'm not sure I'd find myself doing anything other than ordering food to be brought next door to me from there. Not exactly somewhere I'd like to sit and enjoy my food. (Maybe a clever ploy to get you to drink more beer - LOL) I enjoyed most of my flight for sure. As for food - I got the "famous chicken salad". The bread was nicely grilled and overall it was pretty good. But it wasn't my type of chicken salad - it was very sweet! Next time I'll opt for a pizza since they looked pretty good coming to others or some other type of sandwich. They also have live music occasionally too! So that's cool. I'll be back for sure once I'm settled in my new home!

    We went as a group on Tuesday evening for trivia night. The ambience was great. A lot of street parking spots available. I got the pineapple cider which is super light and refreshing. My colleague's dark chocolate beer is so special. The pool is definitely the highlight, although the dummy is interesting. The trivia was so fun! It was a little chilly outside after it got dark and the manager guy helped us got a table indoors. Would love to come back during summer time to get some splashes. And next time will for sure get some good food.

    A fun little place that is dog friendly! I wasn't a huge fan of the ordering set up, as you had to order from this really high counter, that my eyeballs barely reached over. However, loved the ambiance and the uniqueness of this hole in the wall type of bar.

    Finally gave this funky little place a try. The decor is eclectic to say the least. There is seating inside (picnic tables) and out. So, the seating is geared to groups. Would be nice to have a bar to sit and chat with the bartender if you drop in solo. There is a good selection of craft beers on tap and there is a kitchen serving food (appetizers, sandwiches, burgers and pizza). Fun atmosphere and a bonus, at least for me, was the music - hard rock and classic rock - playing while I was there. If you like beer, definitely check this place out.

For the price you would think you would get some kind of bread but the charge $8.00 for house bread. by 8:30 the restaurant was almost empty. Was not impressed and for the price if they did not take the pasta off and if we would have ordered dessert it would have been over $100 for 2 people and we just drank water. to sum up my experience it over price for dinner with small portions and was not impressed with the flavor combinations. me and my wife came home and had to have a snack because we were still hungry . service and atmosphere are good but probably won't return especially with the price point. Oak ridge needs quality restaurant and this place feels like a California or NY restaurant ( small portions and over price and strange pallet combinations) . sorry but this is just my personal experience it's probably ok to go for lunch and have a salad and a glass of wine kinda vibe.

    We were in town, just passing through, and had checked into our hotel for the night. Looking about,…read morewe reviewed the local places to eat something, and wishing to avoid any of the corporate places we found Woody's was pretty close-by. This is one of the magical things about looking for places to eat on-line... you will sometimes find places that you would completely pass over if you were to look at them from the road. This is one of those places. The place is very non-descript, and definitely a locals kind of place. When we walked in there was a small party going on that looked like it was wrapping up, and we were able to get a table. We were greeted warmly, so they do have their hospitality game working for them. There is an outdoor seating area, but as it was getting dark we opted for sitting inside. We both ordered burgers... there are no fries on the menu, which was surprising until we figured out that they don't have a deep fryer. All good there... we can make do with alternatives! I went for the mac and cheese. When the burgers came out, oh boy... these burgers are quite generous and my mother could only finish half of hers. Not a problem there either... it made a very nice little lunch item the next day. The burgers are quite good, and we would absolutely return for them!

    We ordered the three meet platter, Wow !! We is huge and the manager or owner came out from back…read moreand checked on us as well as the food it's was mouth watering. We sat at the bar about 3 ish and she was polite but rather non smiley, but with said she came by to check on us as others piled on in and for good reason. GREAT FOOD ! The restaurant and bar are very small but they have an added features outside for all us pets and families with children they have a fenced in yard area with tables and shade the inside is super clean and nicely decorated we will be going back while we are here in town for two more months. It's a great locals gathering place as well as very welcoming to visitors.

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.

    Came here for lunch with my family on Saturday around 12:30, and had a wonderful time…read more When we arrived the restaurant looked crowded, so I was worried it would be a long wait. However, we were seated right away. Our server immediately brought us coffee and got our 8 year old some hot chocolate (loaded with whipped cream and chocolate sauce, which he loved). It took a little bit for us to figure out what we wanted because there were so many good options. I went with their Italian inspired omelet with sausage, cheese, roasted peppers and tomatoes. My husband got the pick two from the lunch side with the super food kale salad and ham and Gruyère melt. While our son got the kids bacon and eggs with fruit and toast. The food came out at a good pace and was hot when it arrived. I loved my omelette. It tasted fresh and light and I loved the pop of the roasted tomatoes in it. The toast and jam they served with it were great. The grain bread was so good. I ended up getting potatoes instead of the salad (no extra charge) and they made them crispy which was just how I wanted them. The surprise for both my husband and I was the salad he got. Normally, neither of us are fond of kale but in that salad it was delicious. It wasn't super tough or butter which can sometimes be an issue. The melt was also good. Our son devoured his entire plate and was super happy with everything. Which is always a huge plus. This was a perfect place to come with everyone. It was inviting, fast and with good food. There are so many options that there is something for everyone and no one left still hungry or disappointed.

Slightly felt pressured to order quickly, in terms of food we got the salmon Benedict and the steak n eggs chimichurri. Food is saltier than I would like, like actually really salty especially the potatoes aka hashbrowns. Also not really a steak more like small beef pieces but there wasn't that much, 15% meat, 80% potaoes not hashbrowns, eggs very fine. Portions for Benedict smaller than expected. Overall food was fine, there's notice brunch spots in the area, but I wouldn't necessarily seek this out.
