At Knolls Restaurant, we are passionate about providing a fun, casual environment where you can enjoy quality beers, cocktails and chef inspired casual cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere.

We offer a tremendous selection of locally sourced craft beers.

We only use fresh, thoughtfully chosen ingredients to make all of our chef created dishes.

Whether you’re looking for the hop-fueled kick of an IPA or the creamy, aromatic head of a porter, Knolls Restaurant takes a lot of pride in making sure that your beer is of the highest quality.

Don’t just take our word for it, stop in and order a pint today.
