New structure helps grille deliver on its mission

To the Editor:

Lincoln’s Sports Grille is first and foremost a family friendly, sports enthusiast haven. It is a place where families and sports fans can enjoy a quality place to eat and watch a game. Lincoln’s recognizes that public safety is their first priority and is taken very seriously. Also, Lincoln’s acknowledges that mistakes have been made in the past, and over the last few months, steps have been taken to ensure their mission statement is delivered.

“Lincoln’s is the place where families, sports enthusiasts, and especially baseball fans come to enjoy quality food and drink, with top notch sports entertainment,” said Mike Lincoln, owner of Lincoln’s Sports Grille. “We take public safety very seriously, and always have. I believe with the new structure we have put in place, Lincoln’s will move forward on a positive path.”

Lincoln’s Sports Grille has been operating in Oak Ridge since 2010. The grille serves lunch, Tuesdays through Sunday, and dinner seven days a week. There is a clubhouse room that is available for private parties. Lincoln’s desire is to transport the sports enthusiast/customer back to their favorite ballpark memory while enjoying great food in a casual environment. Lincoln’s is open for business.
