A little tasting never hurt anybody 🥃✨

We kicked off the week with our friends at Knox Bev, tasting, learning, and enjoying some seriously good pours. Always a good time bringing great people and great flavors together at Southern Grit.

Cheers to starting the week the right way. 🥂

Some meals just make the middle of the week feel a whole lot better. 🍗

Crispy, seasoned, made from scratch, and exactly what Wednesday called for.

Come hungry. We’ll take care of the rest.

Your Friday plans just called.

They said stop answering emails, find your favorite drinking buddy and get to Southern Grit. 🍸😂

The table’s waiting. The drinks are calling. And Happy Hour sounds a whole lot better than whatever you were about to do.

Cheers to making it through another week. 🥂

Thursday is basically Friday with one minor inconvenience left. 😂

Grab the dip, grab your people and start acting like your weekend began approximately 24 hours early.

We won’t tell your boss.

Made it halfway through the week.

We feel like that deserves a biscuit. Actually… bring the whole basket. 😂

Happy Hump Day, Knoxville. Your midweek emotional support carbs are waiting at Southern Grit.

09/08/2026

Labor Day weekend is over, and suddenly we’re expected to cook for ourselves again?? Absolutely not. 😂

Consider this your official transition back into society: fried chicken, mashed potatoes, okra, gravy and zero dishes waiting for you at home.

We’ll see you at Southern Grit. 🍗

08/28/2026

Your plans tonight? Cancelled. The chicken has requested your presence. 🍗🤝

Crispy fried chicken, sliders that have no business being this good, cold drinks, and some of the best people in Downtown Knoxville.

Come hungry. Bring the group chat. Get the chicken while it’s HOT. 🔥

Tag the friend who always says “I’m not that hungry” and then eats half your food. 👇😂

Southern food so good you start saying “I’ll just have one bite” knowing damn well you’re about to clean the plate. 😭🍽️

Come hungry. Leave questioning why you ever cook at home.

🍗 Southern comfort food done RIGHT
🥃 Drinks cold
😮‍💨 Plates disrespectfully good

Tag the person who always says “I’m not that hungry” then starts eating off YOUR plate. 😂

🍑🥃 BOURBON PEACH SOUR — brought to you by Candy.

Bourbon. Peach. A little sour. A whole lotta Southern. 🤝

Candy understood the assignment with this one. Sweet up front, bourbon on the back end, and dangerously easy to order another.

Come grab a seat at Southern Grit and let Candy make you one. 🍹

Tag the person who’s getting the next round. 👇

Some meals don’t need an introduction… they just need a fork. 🍗🔥

Golden fried chicken. Creamy mac & cheese. Mashed potatoes swimming in gravy. Southern comfort the way it was meant to be.

Whether you’re catching up with friends, bringing the family, or just treating yourself after a long day, we’ve got a seat waiting for you.

Come hungry. Leave happy. ❤️
