The new menu release is coming to you early this week, because we’re open every day including trivia night tomorrow! We’ve got the perfect menu for the occasion featuring the return of our beloved Bear of Chicagoland Hot Italian Beef sandwich, Honey I’m Rome burger, and lentil confusion tacos. The weather looks almost for a huge week, so make your way to Trailhead while you can!

🚨 The Bear of Chicagoland, like our salmon burger, is super popular and prone to selling out, so the earlier you get here the better your chances are to get one!

We’ve got a brand new taco for this weekend’s menu! A lot of authentic Peruvian cuisine revolves around the Aji Amarillo pepper, so we planted one in our garden earlier this year and it’s finally starting to produce this month! This week we used our aji peppers in the marinade and the verde sauce for this absolutely delicious chicken taco. So if you’re in the mood for some genuine Peruvian food, make your way down to Trailhead this weekend!

We’ve also got our famous Gaucho burger and bandit tacos to round out the rest of the specials. We’ll see you soon!

The week we’ve all been waiting for this summer is finally here! It’s SALMON WEEK at Trailhead! For those who are unfamiliar, we travel to Alaska each year and catch as many sockeye salmon as possible to bring back for salmon burgers! This year we caught almost 50; way more than the year before, so we should have plenty to go around!

This is truly a one of a kind experience you can’t find anywhere else in Knoxville, so make sure you get one before we change the menu next week. They sell fast, so the earlier you arrive the better your chances will be!

As usual, Thursday is our night off so if you can’t make it out tonight you’ll have to wait for the weekend!

The perfect burger to go along with the summer heat!

Live music starts tonight at 7! We’ll see you down here!

We’ve got the perfect menu for some (hopefully) rain free evenings coming this weekend! Since several of the specials coincide with characters of the Bluey TV show, we decided to make a Bluey themed menu! Swing by trailhead for a brand new smashburger with crumbled blue cheese and bacon, a blueberry-chili coulis, and fresh tomatoes from our garden. We’ve also got our famous BBQ sandwiches and vegetarian bandit tacos!

Even more good news: if you can’t make it down this week, don’t worry! We’ll have this menu on for a few extra days since some of us are traveling. We’ll be keeping our regular hours at Trailhead still!

Great news: Our garden right here in South Knox has started to crank out produce for our menu! Our goal is to have sides throughout the summer made with stuff exclusively from our garden including salsas and peppers, pickles, etc. The first featured side up is blistered shish*to peppers with a Korean ginger glaze and yuzu lime crema. It is important to note that we will NOT be supplementing produce from grocery stores, so when these sides sell out, they’ll be gone until the garden can make more!
