Tennessee (Knoxville, TN)

Calhoun’s on the River: Located on Knoxville’s historic waterfront. Their Bacon Wrapped Beef Brisket Burnt Ends is a staple. It’s also by boat as well and offers a panoramic view of the Tennessee river.

Dead End Barbecue: Elite award-winning barbecue staple in Knoxville. Picnic-style barbecue plating with draft beer and sports memorabilia aplenty make this an attractive spot to hang.

Gus’s Good Times Deli: Known for their deli sandwiches, phillies, burgers and much more. An old school all-vol spot on campus that’s great on gameday.

Fieldhouse Social: Offers a great gameday atmosphere, including the “largest tv in the southland.”

Market Square: About a 25 minute walk from Neyland Stadium, but must-see in historic downtown Knoxville. Market square is a pedestrian mall with a plethora of bars, restaurants, shopping and other entertainment. Restaurants such as “Not Watson’s,” or “Stock & Barrell” are a few of many restaurants that load the market.

Texas A&M (College Station, TX)

Northgate: Known to the locals as “ng,” it’s College Station’s main strip of bars and restaurants. You’ll see patrons from each team on gameday here. Walk the strip, try some different restaurants, bars and hang out with friends.

Dixie Chicken: The oldest bar in Northgate that’s been open since 1974. You’ll feel like you’re back in time the moment you walk in with nostalgic old school photo’s covering the walls. Known for their chicken. Offers a great menu and drinks.

Stella’s Southern Café: This is the breakfast go-to in College Station with scratch-made southern style cuisine. Bread and butter pickles are a staple here along with their fabulous jams. Stella’s has some great coffee as well.
