My mouth is watering again, hours after eating as I write this. Very clean. Plenty of parking. Plenty of seating inside or out on the back deck. A small gift shop and miscellaneous items for sale, t shirts, ball caps, cup, souvenir items. Even had a few automotive items, motor oil, trans fluid etc... It is out of the way. LOL. TAKE A DRIVE. This is East Tennessee at its best. I will be going again for the fall colors, and a truly amazing meal. Air B&B cabins on the river are available too.

Wow, this place was really busy the night we went, which I guess is a good sign. We ended up…read moregrabbing seats at the bar and eating there. It did take quite a while to get service -- probably around 20-30 minutes just to place our order and another 30 minutes or so for the food to come out. With the long wait times, I'd probably consider doing a to-go order next time instead of dining in during peak hours. That being said, the food was definitely good. I ordered the tacos, and they were really flavorful and tasty. We had a group of five people, and everyone seemed happy with their meals and agreed the food was very good. Even though the service was a little slow from how packed the place was, the overall experience was still enjoyable.

The serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner depending on the day. It's a little disconcerting when you pull up to my the entrance and slightly more as you step in the dining room. But the place, though worn, is spotlessly clean. The food that they prepare is all scratch made to order. So don't be impatient it's well worth the wait. My wife had corn dogs and fries. The corn dogs had a wonderful crunchy cornmeal crust that reminded me of my childhood (I'm pushing 70). I had the patty melt that had a very tasty yet unknown cheese that was so melty that I loved the sandwich. This place is a little out of the way but if you are anywhere near Johnson City it's worth the effort.

Just had breakfast here for the first time this morning. I had the biscuit and gravy with bacon,…read morescrambled eggs and added a side of cheddar rounds. My husband had the pancakes. The pancakes were just ok.... They made the batter as we ordered it so it didn't have time to absorb the flour so it wasn't all that good. He said he would try a burrito next time. I loved my biscuits and gravy. The gravy was a darker color but the sausage was so flavorful and it was light in pepper which I like because I don't like pepper. The biscuit was a really great size and fluffy. The bacon is not thick cut but still Crispy and good, eggs were cooked nicely. Now on to the cheddar rounds..... I try these all over but these are the absolute closest you will get to the Pals version. They were lacking the season salt which would have made them taste like Pals. Over all I was very happy and will definitely be back!!! Also the prices were good (pic of menu (included)

We took three of our friends with us and we were all very happy with our meals. I got the special of the day, country fried steak with white gravy and a side of fried okra.

I don't think anyone could go wrong with trying Drew's.

Last night we ate there with the same couple who dined with us the first time...and we all were quite disappointed, unfortunately. My husband and I shared the NY strip steak. There was a surprising amount of fat for this cut of meat, and the steak also had none of that delicious char you expect. It was a bit underdone for the medium we'd requested, but not too far off. Our friends fared worse. The husband ordered a rib eye and deemed it "just ok." The wife ordered a filet cooked medium and it came out completely rare. She tried eating around the edges but left most of her steak untouched (I would have sent mine back to the kitchen if I were her, but my friend is wary of sending meat back; she said she was afraid it would then be overcooked). Her broccolini side dish was so undercooked that it was basically raw, so she didn't eat that either. The french fries and baked potato were fine, and our server was capable and pleasant. However, given the overall experience, we won't be back. That type of meal is handled much better by Stonewall's in Banner Elk.

For the appetizer I had the Double Dipper. The spinach dip lacked any flavor and the pimento cheese was ok. The bread points were just drowned in butter. The cucumbers were slimy and thinly sliced. Also it came with celery which I don't eat at all. The menu said fresh vegetables. I should have asked. My fault there. I got the French Broad Burger which was pretty good considering. Sweet potato fries were good too. The service was amazing! Everyone was so friendly!!! Went early on Saturday evening and unlike before it was slow but with the amount that was there it was a great little chatter time! I love the view of Main Street and the charming little mason jar lights.

They're still working on getting their alcohol license so there was no beer to drink, sadly but the food made up for the loss of it. My wife ordered the fried mushrooms which she didn't like but I thought they were good with a slight crunch and then creamy insides with an earthy flavor. We split the brisket sliders withe sweet potato fries and the brisket had a good flavor to it but I recommend getting their house BBQ sauce that was sweet with a fruity flavor but also made with veggies like carrots. It was excellent and I brought some home. What a great find for our outing here.

I thought maybe I had made a mistake in coming here it being just a small off the Wall kind of diner. The food was delicious, the service was great. And the prices are astronomically low. Now I probably shouldn't be putting this in a review because they might raise them. But I have to say, these days you really want to bang for your buck and this is the place to go. I went for dinner and was so happy with it that I made sure that I came back in the morning for breakfast which I was not disappointed once again. If you get a chance going through this little tiny town, and you see this tiny little restaurant in a gravel parking lot. Do not let appearances deceive you. It's not the prettiest place in the world but it is clean and the food is good
