Queso.

Meh, just another mediocre Mexican restaurant in East Tennessee. I usually judge a Mexican restaurant by the rice, salsa, and queso. The salsa was typical of around here - no cilantro, no onions, flavorless. The rice was average. The queso was only cheese - no spices. I also wish more places had the thinner white tortilla chips. They taste far better. I got 3 tacos - chorizo, al pastor, and carnitas. The chorizo was adequate - but it's difficult to mess that up - you just cook it. The Al pastor was the same as any other place - average. The carnitas was a good cut of meat, but flavorless - no spices. I wish Mexican restaurants around here would use cilantro, cumin, chili powder, etc. You know - actual spices to give their food some flavor.

“Chulos, we decided on a familiar dish (chimichanga) but also wanted to try something new (burrito serrano) The chimichanga- it was good.”

One of our favorite local spots!…read more We enjoy trying all the different beers and they seem to constantly change out what's on tap. If you somehow manage to not find one on tap you're interested in (good luck with that), then they have even more offerings in cans and bottles. I prefer sours, goses, and wheat beers and they always have plenty of choices year round! The service - wow. Truly kind humans who enjoy what they do. We come for the drinks but stay for the staff! Good employees also attract good patrons, and we've met a lot of cool folks (and, often, their dogs!) here. It feels homey after visiting just once. Lastly, I can always count on Tri-Hop to have a yummy food truck parked out front. We usually place our order at whatever food truck is in rotation that night, go inside to pick a drink, then play giant jenga or for hole outside until our food is ready. Raining? That's okay, they have darts inside and regularly host events like bingo and trivia! A perfect night out, all in one spot.

@trihopbrewery I apologize for not getting better pictures!! We love this place!! Long story…read moreshort. We got our chores done early. Stopped in for a beer while we waited for to-go food from another place. Loved Tri-hop so much I got a 2nd beer and we ate our food here. They have a rotating food truck schedule. This night was Jamaican. The truck was busy. Great vibe. Fun crowd. A bartender was making walking around picking glasses. Stopped to say hi to grand dogs Elbert & Sally. She came back with Milk-bones for them. In their eyes she was a beacon of hope. The impromptu visit to Tri-hop caused their dinner to get pushed back 2 hours. - it's the next morning, they are fine. No dogs were harmed while I had a 2nd beer at Tri-hop. I got the Hazy. It was very hazy and flavorful. I got the apple cider slushie. That was extremely tasty. I could a whole lot of those!!

So much to say about Bella! We had all been looking forward to coming here since we were in town…read morevisiting family who are regulars and always rave about it. Located in downtown Maryville, there is plenty of parking available. Since we were a large group, we were seated upstairs, which I loved. The view overlooking the restaurant was good, and it felt more private with only one other table next to us. Our server, Jack, was one of the best servers I've ever had! If I ever owned a restaurant, I would hire him! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and very attentive and made the whole experience even better. Most of our group ordered the tableside pasta wheel and loved it. I had the penne allá vodka and couldn't get enough of it, while my husband really enjoyed their wide selection of bourbon. I can definitely see Bella becoming our go-to Italian spot whenever we're back as locals in Maryville!

We had Evan this time, and he was fantastic. He gave us some great recommendations, including the…read moreWatermelon Sugar cocktail. I was afraid it might be making its seasonal exit now that summer is over, so obviously I had to try it. Despite the name and the sugar rim, it was surprisingly not too sweet. I really hope this one sticks around for our next visit. Of course, I got the Greenway again because apparently I am incapable of learning to order anything else when I already know what I love. We also tried the Golden Daisy without the simple syrup, and it was boozy and delicious. We finally branched out on the food and tried the artichokes and Brussels sprouts. If you like your Brussels sprouts on the sweeter side, these are excellent. They are basically swimming in this delicious glaze. The artichokes were amazing too, and we immediately wished there had been more on the plate. The chili aioli they came with was so good that we ordered a side of it just for dipping our Parmesan fries and had a sauce flight situation going on. The Caesar salad and fries also made a pretty great girl-dinner. Then came the cheese wheel pasta. I tried to convince myself that maybe this time I should order something different, but I just can't stray. It is consistently, ridiculously good every single time. We added chicken this time, and I highly recommend the protein upgrade. I did feel a little bad for the guy making the pasta because we were in the middle of a serious conversation and probably did not give him the audience he deserved while he was performing the cheese-wheel magic. He was so gracious about it and even gave us some little cheese snacks straight from the wheel, which was a very appreciated bonus. We really wanted to try Evan's recommendation of the apple dessert, but at that point we had officially reached the "we physically cannot fit one more thing" stage of dinner. Maybe next time we'll come prepared to make better decisions. Or, more realistically, we'll order all the desserts and a Caesar salad and call it dinner. Another consistently great night at Bella.
