Tender Chicken Strips

5.95

A half pound of delicious battered chicken strips served on a hot 1/2 pound bed of french fries. yes, thats right - if you eat this and you weigh 189 pounds, well congratulations youve just been bumped up to the heavyweight division at 190 pounds. so, enjoy

Knoxville Wings

4.95

Some say these are similar to buffalo wings, but since we live in knoxville, we had to apply our own special recipe-notice the low population of pigeons in the area. just kidding. we offer one or two of these jumbo wings and fry them to perfection. we offer them in bbq, hot, or "fire and brimstone". we didn't want them to be lonely, so we serve them with a side of celery and bleu cheese.

Chips & Homemade Salsa

3.95

Our homemade salsa made fresh daily and served with an endless supply of chips. okay, that's not totally true. we will eventually run out of chips. i mean come on, do you know how much time and energy goes into making those things? seriously, you really wouldn't want it to be endless.

Soft Pretzels

6.95

Two large soft pretzels folded into intricate designs by semi-trained origami wannabes and sprinkled with salt. we serve this up with a delicious side of our signature pale beer cheese for dipping.

Beer Battered Mushrooms

6.95

These drunken "fun guys" stumbled into one of our baskets. so, we decided to batter them up and drop them into our drunk tank (a.k.a. fryer) . we serve them up with a side of horseradish sauce for dipping. the only thing that would make them better is to wash them down with a woodruff ipa or white mule ale.

Shrimp Cocktail

8.95

8 delicious shrimp strategically placed around a chilled martini glass filled with our spicy cocktail sauce. the glass is garnished with a lemon to add a bit more zest! it's out of this world and just doggone purdy

Our own special recipe combining cheese with, uh, some more cheese, a bit of pico de gallo and some other special, top secret, "mind your own business and just enjoy it" ingredients. one of our more popular recipes based on our market research, which basically means that all the staff really loves the heck out of it! it's served with as many hot chips as you care to woof down. warning: woofing down food in any form is not recommended or endorsed by the downtown grill & brewery. do so at your own risk. savor and enjoy the food

Jumbo Tater Skins

6.95

Some say po-ta-to, some say po-tah-to. we just get to the point and call 'em taters! any way you say them, they're good eatin'! we cut these fellows in half and layer them with mashed potatoes, mixed cheese and bacon and offer you a side of sour cream to top them off. however, if you really want to know why we call them taters, you have to top them off with our taco beef, mesquite grilled chicken or steak. your mouth will be so busy, you'll only have time to say tater

Hongos Con Queso

6.95

After we saute up our mexican veggies and mushrooms, "on goes" our mixed cheese, which we melt to perfection. we serve this with some warm tortillas for you to fill to your liking. if you desire, after the mexican veggies "on goes" your choice of mesquite grilled steak or chicken, portabella mushroom, or grilled shrimp to make this appetizer a truly amazing dish for your palette.

Quesadillas

7.50

Our 10-inch tortilla, roughly the length from your elbow to wrist for average people (not you, sasquatch) , is filled with mixed cheeses, peppers and onions. if you want, you can fill them with any number of the items below. by the way, this now makes it a meal and not really an appetizer, unless you feel the need to share with those people across the room who keep staring at you.

Sampler Platter

Okay, here's the deal. instead of us creating a sampler platter that you're probably going to need to adjust for your picky date, we're going to let you create your own

Black & Bleu Salad

We cover our pizza crust with an alfredo sauce (not just any alfredo, but ours) . we then sprinkle it (it being the pizza) with cheese and italian seasoning. we decorate it with sliced tomatoes and a lovely spinach blend. at this point it's close to a vegetarian item; however, for you omnivores (big word, huh?) out there we can add our mesquite grilled chicken for a truly exotic taste.

So, you're 4, 496 miles away from honolulu and you're craving a hawaiian pizza. well, you could spend your kids college education to drive there (don't mind the big body of water called the pacific) or you could just ask your server for our tasty version served with pineapple rings, ham bacon, and mozzarella cheese.

Grand Entrees

We lure 14 of our jumbo shrimp into our saute pan - their bodies are big, not their heads; therefore, they're not too smart. we saute them and serve them in our homemade scampi butter. we serve these delightful, mouthwatering morsels with two of our sides. can you feel yourself beginning to drool?

Mesquite-Grilled Delmonico Ribeye

15.95

A tasty 12 oz. ribeye, seasoned and grilled to a perfect state. trust us, the grill marks are so defined you can play tic-tac-toe on them. however, remember what your parents said about playing with your food - you'll go blind or something.

Cathey" Kabob

14.95

Who says only bad things can come from playing with pointy sticks in a brewery while working around open flames? we take our sirloin and marinate it in our special recipe and skewer (go ahead, you can say it out loud - we like the way it sounds, too) them with some red peppers, onions, and green peppers and cook them over our open flame mesquite grill.

Seasoned Mesquite-Grilled Pork Chops

12.95

We spice two of our 8oz. chops up with a bit of our specialized seasoning mix. don't bother asking for the recipe; we keep it under lock and key, in the basement, with 3 guards, two german shepherds, and a laser-guided egyptian cobra (don't ask) . the results are a tender and moist chop cooked to a savory finish waiting for you to enjoy. served with two sides

Ahi Tuna

It's sushi grade tuna, although we ran out of chopsticks so it's not rolled sushi style. not to mention, it's a 10 oz. cut and very few people could cram it in their mouth in one bite. anyway, we offer it in several different styles: blackened, cajun, caribbean, or lemon-pepper. you can have two sides placed on the plate for your timely consumption.

Sandwiches

Grilled Angus Burger

Chicken Parmesan Sandwich

7.95

Have you ever tried to get a chicken to strip in marinara sauce? neither have we. so instead, what do you say you try some of our crispy chicken strips covered in marinara sauce and jack cheese and sprinkled with parmesan cheese and oregano. we place this lovely morsel onto a corn meal bun and serve it up next to a heaping mound of our golden french fries.

Chicken Cordon Bleu

7.95

We thought that this would make us sound a bit more sophisticated. we know, we know, it'll probably take more than three little words - but we tried. nonetheless, we grill our chicken breast to perfection (have you noticed a theme with this perfect thing? us too!) , then we top it with some sliced ham, swiss cheese, and slices of bacon. we place it on a comfortable, corn meal bun and serve it with our large portion of fries and a side of ranch dressing

Smothered Burger

8.95

This is the mother of all mother misery makers with its messiness. so, if you're ordering this it's time to monitor your messiness by asking for more napkins. but believe us, it's worth eating with a knife and fork if you're that kind of wuss. we start with our half-pound of ground angus beef and cover it with our button mushrooms & onions, swiss cheese and enough bacon for this to be classified as a "pig in a blanket" type sandwich. once again, this is served up with half-pound of french fries

Caper Chicken Pasta

There's nothing worse than chickens that have gone awry (get it, caper?) . well, maybe, but we really don't want to think about those types of things. we top our mesquite grilled chicken with sauteed mushrooms and onions, chopped parsley, and of course our capers. we offer this either on a bed of fettuccine noodles or with two sides. see, we're not as bad as the chickens.

A delicate and light dessert flavored with the rich taste of chocolate (come on, you can hear it calling your name) and accented with a hint of kahlua and godiva chocolate liqueur. we top it off with a bit of whipped cream (always a fun thing) and an artistic splash of chocolate. not too filling, yet really rounds the meal out. in other words, splurge! how often do you dine out?!

Empenadas

5.25

We wrap our homemade dough around your choice of filling (banana and pecans or cinnamon apples) and fry to a rich, golden brown. we sprinkle it with cinnamon, powdered sugar, drizzle it with honey and serve it next to a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. it's an experience all must try. seriously, it's been written. well, we wrote it, but it's still been written.
