🍜 A-Thai
A-Thai started as a local Maryville food truck and opened its first permanent storefront on May 1, 2026 in the Food Lion shopping center on Old Knoxville Highway. The food truck built a loyal following, and this brick-and-mortar spot lets them serve their full menu in a proper kitchen.
Thai food is naturally family-friendly — pad Thai, fried rice, mild curries, and spring rolls are favorites for kids, and the portions are generous. It is also a great spot for lunch on the go or a casual family dinner.
Why locals love it: authentic flavors, reasonable prices, and a menu that works whether you are feeding picky eaters or looking for something adventurous yourself. The transition from truck to full restaurant says they earned their spot.
