Brackins Blues Club — Restaurant in Maryville

I must apologize to the owners, managers, cooks, bartenders, wait staff, and anyone else that works at Brackins Blues Club that may have been affected by my previous post, ( "Shrimp and Grits = too salty Shrimp = undercooked. Italian sandwich = just BAD! A stack of dead animals with cheese melted atop = Yuke! No plans to visit again! Happy dining everyone" )

as I was NOT in-fact eating at Brackins Blues Club! Unbeknownst to me, I was actually eating at the Bluetick Tavern. You see... My boyfriend and I had discussed, and decided, to eat at Brackins for dinner. But apparently, he didn't get the memo ;) He had his own plans. Ugghhhh... Entrusting the evening's dinner arrangements to my boyfriend, I payed little to no attention to my surroundings. He parked the truck and lead me into the side door of a building, of which I believed to be the Brackins Blues Club. It was NOT! It was the Bluetick Tavern. The review that I wrote, and have sited above, belongs to the Bluetick Tavern, NOT Brackins Blues Club!!! Again... I sincerely, and humbly, apologize to all those of Brackins Blues Club. I haven't had the privilege of eating at the establishment, but I'm sure that each and every crumble of food that comes from your kitchen is an absolute delight that dances with decadence across every waiting tongue. Stay Blessed My Friends and Happy...

Chubby bearded waiter told us that just because he works there doesn't mean he knows the kitchen hours. Was very annoyed that we asked for a menu. Called someone in our party a motherf*er when he brought his cheese sticks and when another friend asked if he could get another beer he said ,"maybe" and walked away. He had the worst attitude I've ever seen in the service industry. On his third appearance my friend got his beer but the attitude continued. My friend asked him if he had a problem with everyone at the table and the server replied, "no just you". I told him what I thought of his attitude and he said he had been just fine and he didn't understand what our problem was but that we didn't have to stay. He refused to believe that I didn't have a tab and insisted that I pay it before we leave (because at this point he was kicking us out after we had already paid and hadn't gotten our food yet). He brought a "manager" out who had nothing to say because I'm pretty sure she was just another dumbstruck bartender and he tried telling her that my friend he had a problem with had thrown a chair at him. He only kicked out my one friend but I left with him ans the rest stayed and waited for what they had paid for and left as soon as...

The bartender was FAR from courteous. We (my group) had LITERALLY completed a wedding ceremony in the park (approximately 1pm) and drove to Brackins for a celebratory drink to toast the occasion, as we were ALL local (been patronizing for 10+ yrs) familiars. A member of our party was approximately 2yrs of age and upon entry (0 signage indicating we could not), the bartender said, "get your child out of here NOW", or words to that affect. No friendly communication, no consideration, no customer service, no sympathy/empathy, no consideration, no questions just, get your child "off of my property". Upon entry, EVERYONE in the party was happy, sober, and only seeking to celebrate the moment. The chunky bartender, however, apparently made it her mission to ruin the moment. Additionally, Brackins has a 'lunch menu' and on several different occasions under similar circumstances I have personally witnessed families patronize this establishment. But this bartender was FAR from courteous and/or professional. She was, by definition, rude, inconsiderate, unprofessional, and inconsiderate. To the bartender, for me, you have ruined your establishments ambiance. I will never darken your doorway...
