Best WLM Reviews

Stopped here on our back home to Ohio.
Everything was pretty good, but I have to say, I get pretzels and beer cheese everywhere I go. I have to compare it to all other places, it's my thing :)
This place has the second best pretzels and beer cheese I have ever had. Number one being Wunderbar in Kentucky. But man this is a close second!
Oh yeah, the pizza wasn't bad either, and the service was pretty good.
Terrible! A year ago i had this place @5 stars across the board, the last time we came here we waited on a server for 10 minutes & there was only 2 other tables so we left. Tried again today ordered stuffed jalapeños for appetizer & it just came out with the food & was something that was made days ago & reheated, the wife got the chicken sandwich it was cold along with her fries so she didn't eat as she wanted to take it home to reheat cause she wanted a hot meal, my salad was missing ingredients, also the sandwich is 11.99 on menu but they charge 13.99 last thing about sandwich is the chicken covered only 60% of the bun see pic there is no chicken in part that'storn off, so its shrunk, it's cold & the price is $2 more than it says all with terrible service on top.
They have very good food...love their chicken strips, but I have enjoyed their burgers & chicken sandwich as well. Great pizza also. Their garlic knots/rolls are too dense and drenched with a literal puddle of butter, so that'd be one negative but other than that I have enjoyed their food.
We live in the area and stumbled upon wild boar a few months ago. Everything is delicious! Some of the best wings! Also have to try their jumbo pretzel with beer cheese. Prices are very reasonable. Service is great and singo and trivia are so fun. You have to try this place!
I love this place. I love Italian food but I'm always very hesitant to order anything Italian because most of the time I'm disappointed in what I receive. This places lasagna is amazing. Chunky marina, ricotta, perfect meat ratio. It comes with 3 garlic rolls that are just as good as the lasagna. Their burgers are truly a craft. They are steak burgers, and have many choices in toppings. The Mac daddy comes with Mac and cheese along with various other toppings. Their wings are perfectly smoked and juicy. Their pulled pork is the same as their wings, perfectly smoked, juicy, tender, flavorful. They have a really good beer cheese, which I'm extremely critical over. Most of the time with beer cheese, I find getting the right beer to cheese ratio is almost always gross, NOT this place. Their beer cheese is the PERFECT beer to cheese ratio. Pizza here is also a fantastic choice. The only downside I can say is that their sides, are just sides in comparison to their main dishes. I wish their side dishes had more flavor like the main entrees. As far as the atmosphere is concerned, it's a sports bar that does have live music from time to time. I prefer going on days where there isn't a game playing, just because I'm not into football, and that crowd can be a bit louder. It is a bit dark overall, however they do have some really cool art hanging on the walls. A lot of Vols and TN merch, history, and autographs. The service has been excellent from every waitress I've had. If there's a problem, or something is needed, they always deliver with a smile and understanding. Hygiene wise, they always are looking on point, and smell great. Overall, I love this place and continue to come back. Keep up the great work guys.
Cool little bar, the atmosphere was cool. Just don't order the ribs they were dry as jerky. The rest of the food was good though.
Came here looking for a new place with a friend. We arrived around 2:30p on a Saturday. Plenty of parking and I liked the blacked out windows for privacy on the outside of the business. There is a bar section and a more formal dining area. Staff were friendly and prompt with service. I had the pork meal and the fries and bbq sauce were the highlight for my meal. My friend got the burger and enjoyed it. The food was fairly average and it’s a nice little place if you are going for a relaxed vibe. Plenty of tvs if you like sports. I wasn’t fond of the smoking, but there was a designated area for this which was helpful.
Kudos to a great staff! Some of the best service I’ve experienced in a long time. I have forgotten our waitresses name but I know she also works at a salon - she was AMAZING!
I wasn’t to fond of my dish the catfish. It was very very fishy but the breading of it was cooked perfectly. Also not too fond of the chips. I was told the burger and bbq were delicious. I would like to try the pizza the next visit. It seems to be all the raze. I liked that they do karaoke - however, the volume can be turned down a very good amount you cannot hear the person next to you talking.
