You walk in and there's outdoor seating with the garage doors open. It was very pleasant outside but we chose to eat indoors. The artwork on the walls is so clever and unique. Our server came over right away and took our drink order. She gave us ample time to look at the menu, which is huge with lots of different options! I ordered the half club sandwich. It doesn't come on sliced bread. It comes on some type of bun. It was HUGE. I couldn't eat it all even though it was delicious. It comes with their homemade spiral chips and they were delicious!! My friends ordered a slice of the Key Lime Pie! Wow, I got a bite and it was delicious! We all highly recommend this place and definitely plan to return in the future! Our service was wonderful, the atmosphere was fantastic!

I've been going to State Line at least twice a week since 1998 and…read more "Never" had a bad meal, poor service or found a dirty bathroom.Their food is exceptional and I've never experienced bad service. I love their pulled pork sandwich, chicken plates and their food has always been fresh and just delicious. In 27 years of going there I have NEVER had a menu pick that wasn't very tasty or poor service. I was a high school music teacher and corporate pilot for 20 years and know what bad food and poor service really are! In addition to their great food I love their Thursday night karaoke. As a pilot who has traveled the world I always tried to find the best karaoke bars in wherever I was spending the night. I've been to karaoke bars from Oslo, Norway to Athens, Greece. Hundreds! Looking for the best karaoke bars in town that also serve food. And what I found and come to the conclusion was that State Line, in GOOD OLD BRISTOL TENNESSEE, has the best KARAOKE shows along with the BEST FOOD that could be found around the world. My apologies for this long missive. I'm retired now, my rabbits foot had no more hair on it, and have an armful of grand babies to entertain!

I asked the waitress to seat us outside but one party had taken all of the chairs and having a good drunk time. I would go back but would never try to sit inside during Karaoke unless you have ear plugs. All in all it was a great place except for the loud music and make believe want to be singers. My head is still throbbing. Advice to management = TURN the music down during dinner. Let it go as loud as possible after 9 pm.

I had the fried calamari sushi roll (sashimi, since it's cooked?) and the teriyaki chicken bowl…read more The calamari tasted like old frier oil, Yuk. The teriyaki bowl was pretty good though with various flavors of the sauces and food components. Unfortunately, as i left I used the men's room and while it was clean neither of the automatic soap squirt dispensers could be coaxed into operating with any amount of prestidigitation. A particularly disturbing experience as I had followed a kitchen crew member into the men's room who had apparently gone to to take a dump. So I guess the best he will be able to do is to maybe rinse his hands prior to returning to the kitchen??? DOUBLE YUCK. I did let the bar manager know on the way out and she did leave to go look into the soap issue. It appears to be a light, fun, and trendy place reminiscent of the Fridays restaurants but with an updated and current atmosphere inside. Probably a good place to bring a group gathering.

They offer a wide range of cuisines. I opted for the ribs and shrimp. Everything was delicious. Only distaste is that I could taste the generic BBQ sauce on the ribs. It was happy hour, I opted for a Southern Sunrise. It was good for a quick HH drink. I wouldn't say this was authentic southern food but it was good enough. +Customer service was amazing! +Plenty of free parking +Walking distance to a nice shopping center with great selections +Price points are affordable I hope you enjoy!

Even for a sports bar, they could at least make an effort to do better on the food…read more I ordered the cheeseburger and fries, and the waitress assured me that if I ordered it "rare," it would be cooked rare. She also assured me that the bun would be toasted. What arrived in front of me ten minutes later: a completely overcooked "well-done" burger on a non-toasted bun. She did not offer to take it back to the kitchen, and I was too hungry to make a fuss. The kitchen here is simply inept. The French fries are served so heavily salted they are inedible. You'll end up here, because there's nothing else around except Buffalo Wild Wings. Just be careful what you accept. Tell the waitress you want unsalted fries, and salt them yourself; check the burger when it arrives, before taking a bite out of it. Anything not to your satisfaction, SEND IT BACK. I wish I had.

My husband and I recently had dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe inside Hard Rock Casino Bristol. The…read morerestaurant was clean, well organized, and had a lively atmosphere. Since it's located inside the casino, it's not a quiet or intimate dining experience, but that fit the mood of our evening just fine. Our server, Kansas, was friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout our meal. Service was prompt, and we felt well taken care of. I ordered the Caesar salad with salmon, and my husband had the Caesar salad with steak. Both entrées were outstanding. One thing I appreciate about Hard Rock Cafe is the consistency of the food and the generous portion sizes, and this visit was no exception. A fun part of the experience was watching the band warm up for the evening. There's also a bar area where guests can order from the menu while enjoying the live music. Combined with the casino, it offers more than just a restaurant meal if you're looking for a night out. The only minor drawback is that the casino that surrounds the Cafe is a smoking area. However, we didn't notice it permeating the Cafe. Overall, we had a very enjoyable experience and would gladly return.

For dinner we split the nachos and though I would have loved to have some ground beef on it didn't have that option and didn't want steak. Having said that, the portion was huge and plenty for two people. There is a stage and the bar is well positioned to enjoy the band that was playing.

However, this place clearly gets packed in the evening. There were lots of brews and ciders. They seem to rotate quite a bit, and there's a mix between local options and options from other states. A huge plus is very LGBTQ+ friendly without explicitly being a queer spot. Rainbows everywhere. The bartender told us that a local podcast offered to make them coasters and he said yes, but only if they make them as queer as possible. They were playing some alt music on a record. Also, locals were super friendly and engaged us tourists in convo. Lastly, there's a limited selection of games- so we played a little trivia game and had fun with it. Overall, I would definitely include this spot when bar hopping again. It is an easy walking distance of a lot of great stuff and it was easy enough to get to, even though it isn't on the main drag. Great spot!

It's on a small, one way side street but there was parking nearby. When we approached the front door we instantly noticed they were LGBTQ+ friendly which made it even better. Our stop was early in the evening, probably around 5 so it wasn't busy. We were greeted by a friendly bartender and he gave us time to look over the menu. My first choice was the Limonada Hard Italian Soda. This was absolutely delicious! The tartness from the lemons was noticeable but not over powering and this was a very drinkable beverage. I don't like seltzers at all, yes this wasn't a seltzer but it did have a bit of carbonation that I did not mind. The other customers inside were friendly but not awkward, especially for us being the only 2 women in there at the moment the bartender was super friendly and they had a nice selection of local brews from the area. My wife ordered a peanut butter and jelly beer from the Knoxville TN area as her 2nd drink. PB & J beer doesn't sound so appealing but OMG it was phenomenal. It was the perfect balance and tasted like a PB&J liquid sandwich. Honestly I can wait until I find some in the store nearby. This is a nice, no frills, friendly stop yo grab a drink in Bristol.
