    Open Mic Blues Jam at Roger's Place
    Paul C.

    It's a lovely little low-key place! It's a great place to relax, but I'm not a fan of the stools and tall tables. The don't serve much in the way of food, except for hot dogs. The bartender is nice and remembered details about me even though I hadn't been in a couple months. Great service! Edit to include more details: I'm not sure about the type of beer they serve. Normal? All I know if my cider isn't an option. Live music is performed on most nights. They have amazing bands. And if you smoke (you shouldn't) there's a cover smoker's patio (which you shouldn't use because you shouldn't smoke).

    This place is awesome for what I like. Quiet, low key, fair drink prices and snacks!! It's in little strip mall on the end and they have an outside covered seating smoking area. Smoking is no longer allowed inside but that's ok. Great people and good convos all night!! Their Chili dog and fries is fantastic.

    Roger's was the first bar I went to when I moved to Knoxville in 1978. Still go there weekly. Fun place with good hot dogs and live music.

Had chips and queso, funny being from Texas, the chips were homemade Potato...not corn...and it was really good ha. My daughter has the Black and Blue burger and added Bacon and Fried Okra instead of fries. The Burger was huge, and great...the okra was on point as well. I had a 10" personal pizza...the pepperoni and sausage was fantastic. They had a guitarist playing, he had a partner that "drummed" on a wood box, so it wasn't too loud. We could talk and had a great time. Amber was our server, and she was Johnny on the spot...couldn't ask for more. Lots of local beers on tap, and "Sours"...that we saw at the game too, and she tried the PB&J Sour....and it literally tasted like a PB&J, ha, local to Knoxville.

We were greeted promptly and taken to our table. Within maybe a couple minutes our waiter Katie came by to check on us and get our beverage order. After looking over the extensive menu and enjoying the music tracks playing in the background we were finally ready to place our order. My wife ordered the won-ton tuna appetizer as her meal and I surprised myself by ordering the meatloaf special with green beans and onion rings. I know the meatloaf come with some onion straws. But I had a taste for actual onion rings and appetizer order plus the meatloaf dinner was going to be way too much. Meals arrive fairly quickly and I realize that there is a lot of meatloaf with a nice size bowl of green beans and my onion rings. Meatloaf was very tasty and still very warm. Green beans were perfectly seasoned and also very warm. Glad I didn't order the cheddar mashed potatoes as no way is all of this getting eaten tonight. However, the onion rings were HUGE and very good. You know how sometimes you order onion rings and either the onion pulls completely out or the batter falls apart? Well not these. They were very good and I am glad I substituted for them. My wife's tuna looked great and the won-tons were very crispy. The tuna was a little too peppery for her taste, but she was able to take a bunch of the pepper off. Overall, this is a great restaurant with moderate pricing that lets you leave full and not broke! Cant say enough though about Katie and next time we are back in town, I hope she is still there!

    Ummm, my bad. I'm sorry that I have failed to write this review for a while - but no longer…read more I love it here. It's definitely a nice getaway in Knoxville for those that like to game in a lively environment and enjoy time with friends and family. And on top of that, it's also great that this and the other parts of the same chain (Bit Burger, Space Bar) are near each other in the same area as well. Makes for a lot of great food service for what you can order (that will be similar at the other spots). The staff has always been (10+ visits) nice and responsive to any requests. The drinks are fun but I like to personally stick to some snacking. I have found the buffalo wraps and mini hot dogs to be the ticket. The pinball machines have a lot of variety and art to admire in them. There are also other board and video game options for those that don't like pinball. I know you'll see us there - so definitely say hi! SYOY!

    I love the Space Bar next door, so it's clear these people know how to create an experience. Token…read moreTavern is a blast from the past, including favorites from the 80's like pinball and Ninja Turtles. The food for me feels like an afterthought. The corn dogs were fine but likely frozen. The salsa with the chips felt canned. I didn't try the other food but did order a burger from next door Bit Burger with an extra service charge. I ordered the Mega Man, a burger with cheddar, caramelized onions and white BBQ sauce. I didn't taste much of the white sauce and thought the side potato salad was okay, but I did like that they make them smash burgers. As a boba fan I also ordered one of the poppin sodas so that was fun. Overall Token Tavern is a fun place to go with a group of geeks like myself!

When our pizza arrived, it was very thin crust, and there were very few toppings and for a buffalo pizza, we couldn't find the buffalo sauce. Definitely not worth the price of the Pizza.

I counted 23 taps of beer at the bar, virtually every style is covered, an impressive number and the three we tried were excellent. I had the West Coast IPA and my wife had the Oktoberfest and the Black Rice Lager. The service was excellent. Instead of going for the pizza, which they have a lot of, we went with the Pretzel and beer cheese which my wife liked better than I did. The real star was the Muffuletta sandwich which hands down was the best version of this sandwich I've ever had. The Olive spread had diced jalapeño in it so pretty spicy and oh so good. So between the many taps and that sandwich, CBB West gets a five star.

    We wandered in on early- to mid-evening on a Saturday, and took a moment to decide whether or not…read morethey were actually open. Almost every barstool was taken, but none of the tables were occupied. We hedged our bets and grabbed the last two barstools, which worked out just fine. It is definitely a smoking bar, but as the non-smoker among us, I wasn't completely gassed out (always a bonus). We had a few drinks- average but priced right- and a handful of fantastic appetizers. In particular, the fried pita bread bites that come with the crab dip were *amazing*. We could've eaten a box of those cajun + ranch season pita points by themselves, and they were only made better with the dip. It was also pretty hard to argue with crab-stuffed shrimp and fried pepper jack cheese bites. The bartenders were super friendly (and slightly sticky after an unfortunate incident involving a jug of cranberry juice with a mind of its own) and the crowd of obvious regulars and locals was happy to welcome us to the neighborhood. There was the added bonus that the strip mall has a pass-through to the back parking lot right next to the bar, which simplifies the drive or walk from the stretch of interstate motels where we were staying.

Correct me if I am wrong but aren't you getting paid to cook when orders come up and not to throw darts? Well a fit was thrown by your cook slamming shit around the kitchen and pretty much just tossed my wings onto the bar cause it was interrupting his dart time that didn't even start yet. Absolutely unprofessional but I will say the bartender was on point but I will say that was absolutely bullshit but it's not my bar or my employee.
