Big Ed's pizza has great pizza. Pizza, beer and soft drinks are all that's on the menu and they do pizza very well. It's a local institution and people from all over make the trek to Big Ed's. We always make a point to go at least once when we're in the area.
Many thanks
I found Applebee's to be a good place for a solo traveler. It was lively and friendly, had sports on many TVs and had a bar to eat at and chat with the locals. A big warning to anyone visiting Oak Ridge- they have speed trap cameras with alleged 20 mph signs on a turnpike. I was unable to see such a sign, but the fine was assessed anyway.
Brickyard has great BBQ.
Brickyard BBQ @ 80 E. Tennessee Ave., Oak Ridge TN 865 - 685 - 0605.
