Great little spot for breakfast. The bagel sandwich and a coffee was just perfect. I stopped by the evening earlier and they do stop serving food around eight, so don't plan on late-night food. read more

Shenanigans is one of those restaurants which all the local people know but the tourists might just miss it. You enter from the the parking lot and are seated right away wherever you like. We tried their muffaletta which is something we really love having visited New Orleans a few times. They did an excellent job replicating it. We also got a side of fried mushrooms and fried pickles which were made nice and piping hot and were crispy and delicious. The food was also reasonably priced. I recommend shenanigans for their fresh excellent food at good affordable prices with a nice relaxing vibe. read more

What a cool place to hangout rather inside or out. If you haven't been to Sewanee I'd highly recommend it. Known as college of the south and in my book Harry Potter College....yes students do walk around in cloaks and robes. The architecture here is that of medieval times. They are amazing places to stay for the night and eat all around this town. This place is just one of them. Friendly staff and great service. read more

one of the only establishments open on july fourth, but service wasn't too slow and we only waited 25 mins for food. we tried the: - wings with honey sriracha sauce: the wings themselves had a lot of meat but kind of bland and tough - patty melt: huge 8oz patty that filled us up - skinny boy's melt: generous with the meat as well, but a tad too salty - homemade banana ice cream with whipped cream ($3.80): not what we expected, it was definitely more of blended frozen bananas (sorbet texture) read more

Stopped by after visiting the local museum, the staff was very friendly and helpful, we got the turkey quiche and it was great! Cool looking place too. If we're ever back in the area, we'll definitely be back again! read more

We ate not just once but twice at shenanigans in Sewanee. The spot is right on campus. There are several students working and it has a super fun atmosphere. I'm still thinking about these cookie sandwiches with cream inside that they were selling. They were incredible the first night we had Cheesesteak sandwiches the second night. We had pizza and salad. This is a nice casual spot. We didn't wait too long for food and there was friendly service. read more

Needed a place to eat on a Sunday night before a Caverns show and not much in the area was open. We found Shenanigans which had a cute and cozy atmosphere but was way too freezing inside to be cozy. Everyone eating there had their coats on. We ordered at the counter which took a little while because there were only two girls working the counter and dining area. I ordered the veggie burger with sweet potato fries and husband the 8 oz. patty melt. Food arrived fresh and hot but husband's patty melt was definitely not 8 oz. Mine was good and I appreciated that they had gluten free buns. The sweet potato fries we ordered were labeled as shareable but I easily could have eaten them all myself. They were perfectly cooked, crispy waffle fries. There was a popcorn machine with a sign that it was free on it but it was empty. read more

We had lunch there today and the staff was so rude. Three young girls that were terrible. The chicken fingers were burned. I was nice but pointed it out. The server said they aren't burned they are breaded. Ok all chicken fingers are breaded. She was snotty and turned her backed to me and said she has them all the time and they are fine. They didn't bring the our fries. So I asked for the manager. She had a slightly better attitude but not by much. I told her about the burned chicken and she did offer to replace them but I passed on the offer. What's the point 30 minutes in and you have finished your meal. We were a party of seven. The rest of the order was good. Everyone makes mistakes just be polite. read more

Lots of local personality and good variety of lunch options on the menu. They do have gluten free bread. I liked that they had a variety of individually bagged chips. read more

This is a dive bar in a college town. Understand what you're walking into and you will not be disappointed. Chicken tenders, fries, burgers, and pizza were all done well and delivered quickly. Chicken wings - best we've had in a while. Nothing fancy, but quality Products and service. Will add that my kids raved about the cheese pizza. read more

Pizza took awhile to come out but was really good. All are Pick your toppings. It was a lovely evening on the patio. Staff is friendly. read more

Shenanigans - 16" pizza - American Near Me - Sewanee, Tennessee

See all

The pizza was pretty good with an eclectic choice of topings. The fried pickles and dipping sauce didn't disappoint either. Beer on tap selection was delightful. The staff and servers were very nice and friendly, but it appears the place has a problem retaining them for some reason because the place had to close down due to lack of staff during the busiest time while a convention of cavers was in town with thousands of visitors. The other local restaurants were swamped. The decore is nice and appealing. There is seating indoors and outdoors. The indoors was shaded and dim. Music was low and one could easily have a conversation. read more

Great location, decent parking availability, love the outdoor seating options. Lots of menu options and yummy draft selections. Friend ordered the muffaletta and really liked the flavor just wished the cheese was more melty. I ordered the Italian sub and added turkey, the flavor was good but they forgot the cucumbers (no biggie). Even though they were not busy, our order sat at the bar top so long that the bottom half of my sandwich became soggy before they called out one of our order numbers to come get them. Overall seems like a cool place. My recommendation: come sit outside with a cold beer and enjoy the weather with friends. Go check on your order to make sure it isn't sitting there and hasn't been called out yet. They also get quite busy on the weekends in case you want to avoid large groups. read more

Myself and four others really enjoyed lunch yesterday at this restaurant. The building had lots of character, the bathroom was interesting, in a good way and the service was great. The grilled cheese and the burgers were fantastic. We were greeted and welcomed to look at their menus and enjoyed the atmosphere. Highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

What a disappointment. I went in on a Friday afternoon. We ordered two burgers and a muffuletta and fries. Over $40 Muffuletta was tiny and cold. Burgers were decent size but bland. Fries were raw in the middle. Oh and my carrot was grey and rubbery! This place has gone down from when I worked here. Bummer. read more

OK, maybe this is just 4 1/2 stars, but we loved Shenanigans! A totally authentic college hangout in a totally authentic college town. Great stuff everywhere, including bathroom graffiti. Friendly, personable, efficient servers. And guess what: we both had burgers as good or better than we get anywhere. With cheese, grilled onions and mushrooms. And HUGE. And juicy. This is the sort of place and food that every campus town should have. read more

On my way from NYC to Texas and wanting to visit the Jack Daniels distillery, I stayed in the Monteagle (next town over). Given how late I arrived, this was one of the only places open, so I drove over to Sewanee. Even during the summer this place is a college hangout. I walked in and was immediately surrounded by students from the University of the South, which is nearby. Food and drinks seem dirt cheap. I ordered the shenanigans sub (10$) and some onion rings ($2.5; for some reason I got them half off). The onion rings were meh, but the sub was really good. Packed chockfull of meat. Only wish the sub was a little larger, but other than that great price to food ratio. would come again if I am ever in this area again. read more

came in on a sunday night with my 35 person soccer team and everything came out perfect. Definitely appreciate them for being able to accommodate us! read more

This is our 2nd visit here and each time food and service were great. Today was a great time for us to visit as my wife eats gluten free now and we found that have lots of options. We got to meet with the owner/manager and he talked to us a lot about those options and made some recommendations for this and for me as I eat a plant based . She had the Philly Cheesesteak on GF bun. I had the Rivera Pizza (kind of a Mediterranean style) on a GF crust (so she could enjoy as well). We will defiantly be back Bonus points for lots of outdoor seating. read more

This is a one star review only because no stars isn't an option. I ate here on a Friday evening. The ordering process was fine, except the cashier made a mistake on a side. I had ordered fries with my sandwich and my husband ordered fried pickles with his. We didn't know about the mistake until served and both orders had fries. We let the young man know that a mistake had occurred. He immediately pushed back that the ticket had fries for both orders. He returned with the ticket and read it to us. We replied that the cashier had made a mistake, but he became aggressive and argumentative, unwilling to make it right. The cashier came to our table, acknowledged the mistake, and told us we would get the pickles. We never received them or had any further contact with the staff. As for the food, the sandwiches were extremely disappointing. My husband's Rueben was missing the dressing and had very little meat and sauerkraut. My spicy turkey melt also had very little meat or veggies. The fries were decent. I would avoid this place if you expect decent service or food. Our bill was $39 for the sandwiches, sides and a beer. Not worth it. Need some adults in charge, not snotty, entitled college kids. read more

What a wonderful pizza I just had. This place is awesome. Family friendly. A lot of locals. Great drinks. Casual hangout. It is counter service but great quality food. Free pop A new owner took it over recently and I've seen a positive change from at least 3 years ago. He's more hands on with the place and helping his employees on the clock. (Previous owner had no idea what he was doing) Glad I took a chance on em again and boy am I glad I came. Just a few other things we ordered that deserved this 5 star rating were the; patty melt w/ mozzarella sticks, and a classic club sandwich. All of which were exactly what we were hoping for but even better. The tunes were on point. If anyone say this place is a no go it's because they don't know how to chill and enjoy themselves. We will be back soon for some more fun, Shenanigan's! Thank you!!! read more

Used to love this place but the quality has gone down. Portions are smaller. Got a veggie sandwhich. With a tomato slice and a small amount of lettuce. 4 pieces of canned mushrooms for $10. Very skimpy. The homemade dressings are still good. read more

Can't talk about the food because we have been waiting one hour + for a Reuben and chicken sandwich. Don't come if your hungry!

This spot could be doing so much better. I had no complaints about the food, the Italian sandwich, cheese pizza, and fries were all good. The disinterested and entitled vibe from the staff is strong. The kitchen staff seem to be managing their jobs just fine, pizza and fries came out first and they were great. TWENTY minutes later after our two deli sandwiches sat at the end of the deli counter for awhile, I asked the gal who took my order if those were mine. She said, "I don't know". She marked my order for "here" without asking and it was surely asking far too much to have everything boxed up after the fact. All told, 30 minutes for two deli sandwiches was painful. read more

First time I ever came here was back in the 90's when I saw an epic Beanland performance. This is mostly a restaurant by day but at night it sometimes turns into more of a bar. The food is decent to good and since there are not many options in the area this is generally a pretty popular spot. I've had some good times here and they generally focus on healthier bar/grill food and sandwiches which are often locally sourced. They also offer vegetarian options for those afraid to be real humans :) read more

One of the best patty melts and fries around! And if you're old enough to have a drink, those were pretty good too! Prices are super reasonable! read more

I've tried this place twice, hoping for a place close to home we could frequent. The first visit we arrived at 4:00 when they had just opened. It seems the kitchen help hadn't arrived on time and I guess none of the other 3 young girls standing around knew anything about turning on fryers and grill. They did know how to take our order and take it back to the empty kitchen. We sat down and had our beer while we waited for our food, not knowing no one was cooking. After our beer was gone a half hour later we questioned why our food was taking so long. That's when we got the kitchen story. Fast forward 3 months later...,let's try it again...I really like the vibe and it's close. We place our order at the counter and decided to sit outside after being reassured we could hear our number outside. After 35 minutes we took a table inside. As I passed the counter on the way to the table the same waitress asked if she could help us. I said "I'm still waiting for my order". She asked me for my order # and then went back to the kitchen. 15 minutes later the young kitchen guy came out with our food and the girls directed him to our table instead of placing it on the pickup table. He really wanted to exit quickly without speaking or apologizing. I asked him what took so long and he told me someone else took our order off the pickup table. So it seems anyone can walk up and take the orders without giving proof of their order #. OMG what a messed up system! NEVER AGAIN! read more

It took 40 minutes to get a cold sandwich. Literally cream cheese, sliced cucumber and dill on a cold sliced bagel. When I asked about the sandwich after 20 minutes I was told they were behind and it would be out shortly. After 30 I received the same answer. After 40 I was told they are training new staff and that if I I knew someone that wanted to work to have them fill out an application. NEVER an apology on the delay. THEN someone came to the table and checked the receipt. They lost the order. The 3 times I went to check on the status NO ONE EVER ACTUALLY CHECKED ON MY ORDER!!!!!! We waited 40 minutes for a sandwich which was made in 30 seconds when someone cared enough to pay attention. The absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced. The food was good, but I will never spend another dime in this establishment full of entitled individuals. And to the young lady that said the bit about the application. I would never refer someone to be trained in an atmosphere where the customer is not valued. A trait you exhibited perfectly. read more

This place is timeless and so deeply ingrained in my memories of Sewanee to give it anything less than a 5-star review would be criminal. Big Webb's, Italian, fried mushrooms and onion rings are the bomb, the beer is pretty good too. I miss some of the old graffiti, but I guess it's up to me to solve for that. Here's hoping anyone who reads this can think of a suitably brilliant quote to pen on the wall and has the presence of mind to bring a sharpie.

Shenanigans - Muffuletta - American Near Me - Sewanee, Tennessee

I usually don't leave reviews, but this one was just not good. It started with them taking our order, then 10 minutes later, they came and said, 'Oh sorry, we don't have that. Can we get you something else?' Which I understand can happen sometimes, and he was very apologetic. He said he owed us a dessert for that... never got one . It then took 40 MINUTES until I had to go and ask, like 'Y'all forget about us?' They said sorry and it'll be 5-10 minutes, and if it's more, we can have a refund. Luckily, it did take 10 minutes, but the fries were cold :( and they forgot one of our other fries. Even being starving, the burger was... just okay. If you are considering this place or another, I would recommend choosing the other. Not trying to be mean, but holy moly, that was bad. read more

Was here on a Sunday evening with a group from work. I went with the suggestion of the young lady taking my order and had the Spicy Turkey Melt. The spice was provided by pickled jalapenos that were grilled into the sandwich. By the time I got to the second half of the sandwich my eyes were watering a bit. The sauteed onions were a nice touch. I also tried the fried mushrooms they were served with a side of horseradish sauce that would make a piece of cardboard taste good. The 'shooms were deep fried goodness with a crunchy coating. There were a couple of draft beer options and pitchers were available. NOTE: I didn't have enough cell service to check in at this location. read more

Upscale bar food executed well, but don't come if in a hurry. It is the quintessential college hang out. Even if you did not matriculate at Sewanee, you will immediately feel the nostalgia of the hang out you wish you had where you went to school. Fried fresh mushrooms with horseradish sauce are a must. Grab a beer pitcher and be one with the environs. read more

The food here is amazing, especially the burgers! The staff is great and will explain anything on the menu and answer all questions. The atmosphere is very cozy and makes you feel like you're in the 80s. My husband and I came here twice on our honeymoon and loved it! read more
