🍕 Bluetick Tavern & Tap
- Kids menu

- Family-friendly
- Downtown parking nearby
If you want dinner that works for both dinner AND watching the game with the family, Bluetick Tavern is the spot. They call it the go-to family restaurant, and honestly, they have the kind of pizza my kids actually ask for (yes, really).
The building itself is charming—old downtown Maryville renovation with tall ceilings, wood floors, and that relaxed vibe that makes it easy to settle in with tired kids. Upstairs has pool tables and more dining if you want to escape the noise, though downstairs usually works just fine.
The kids menu runs $6, and the chicken fingers are actually good. Not the usual rubbery stuff. They grill burgers well too, plus salads, pizza, and entrées like grilled salmon or a Mediterranean grain bowl if you want something lighter.
Pro tip: Go early if you want to avoid lines. They also have live music some evenings—great for older kids who can handle a bit of atmosphere.
