I have been here twice in two weeks. My 8 year old is asking to go back. The first time I had the Philly, it was good, not a cheese steak from Philly but still good. Onion Rings = A+ Kids sliders = A+ Fries were crispy The second time The wife and I had the Jalapeño Burger There is nothing new here with the burger - unless you call Fresh and delicious new! A few years again while in Yellowstone we got a burger that was amazing, locally sourced fresh beef etc. This is the first burger since that has the same quality. The patty, thick, nice grind, great flavor. The bun, not so thick that you're just eating bread. Soft and yummy. Burger A+ Chili Burger A+ Onion Rings A+ Kids sliders A+ Crispy Fries!!! I have lived in the area for 4 years now These are the best burgers in the area.

Located on West Market in Johnson City, it's at the corner with Indian Ridge road across from the…read moreKrispy Kreme donut shop. The bright yellow building has a large sign out front. You enter from Indian Ridge just off Market. The turn is a little tight depending on which way you're coming. I assume this area could get pretty crowded when they are busy. The deli is drive-through only, although they do have a couple picnic tables set up next to the corner so I guess you could eat there. My first order was just doing the drive through. I selected the bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit ($3.09) and the biscuit and gravy ($2.89). I paid at the first window and drove around to the other side of the building. I had to wait between five and ten minutes, mostly because one of the vehicles in front of me had a large order. My sandwich was well-wrapped and the biscuit and gravy did not spill from the clamshell styrofoam container. The bacon was crispy and flavorful, the biscuit was not crumbly, and the entire sandwich was quite good. The biscuit and gravy were also very good. I typically need to add additional pepper to the gravy (personal preference), but this gravy really did have a strong pepper flavor and I did not need to add anything. The gravy was the perfect consistency, being thick but not paste. The next visit I tried the online ordering option. It's a bit different from the menu posted at the building, so make sure it has what you want before ordering. I selected the #2 Big Buc combo burger ($9.49). I was given an approximate time it would be ready and I arrived just before that time. The instructions say to pull into one of the two designated spots in their lot and call them to will bring the food out. Since no one was in the drive through I just went to the window. I told them I did an online order and they said they had just packaged it. The burger was very good. The meat is well-seasoned. The lettuce, tomato, and onion were fresh, and the bun was also fresh. The fries were slightly crispy on the outside and cooked perfectly on the inside. Even the iced tea was very good. The menu is rather extensive, and the entire menu is available all day. I was quite impressed with the quality, service, and prices. Buc Deli has been around a long time, but they certainly are keeping the quality high and the ingredients fresh, and the value makes going here an easy decision.

I was amazed at how fast the line moved and although the seating is limited to a few tables inside and a few more under an awning in front of the restaurant we were able to find a seat even though we ordered our food for take out thinking we'd be eating in the park but we got lucky. You order at the counter and they give you a number placard and find you when your made to order food is ready. Being this was our first time here we were clueless of the protocol but the staff is ready to help with any questions you have. We ordered burgers and shared an order of crinkle fries and both of us got a self-serve fountain drink. This is definitely a local's favorite and boy did they pack this place at noon, only to be out done by their take out orders, this kitchen can put out lots of food so the wait time is very manageable. The burgers were fresh and well put together and delicious, we only realized you have to ask for pickles whether or not you order the burgers all the way after we placed our order so they brought out a small cup full and they definitely are a must. The crinkle fries were crispy and delicious and perfect with a few sprinkles of their signature "dust". The staff and food definitely exceeded our expectations and I'd eat here again just to try a few more of their offering - this is a wonderful small town locally owned business...

Uptown Cheesesteak definitely knows what it's doing when it comes to bold, satisfying comfort food…read more From the moment I walked in, the aroma of sizzling steak and grilled onions set the tone for what turned out to be a solid dining experience. The cheesesteak itself was the highlight--thinly sliced beef cooked just right, juicy without being greasy, and packed into a fresh, soft roll that held everything together without falling apart. The cheese was perfectly melted. I added grilled onions and peppers, and they brought a nice balance of sweetness and texture. The menu had a good variety beyond the classic cheesesteak, including poutine, loaded fries and other sandwich and burger options, but it's clear the star here is the signature sandwich. Portion sizes were generous, and the prices felt fair for the quality and quantity. Service was quick and straightforward--nothing overly fancy, but efficient and friendly enough to make the experience smooth. The atmosphere was casual and laid-back, making it a great place to grab a quick bite or hang out with friends without any fuss. While you are there, be sure to check out all the unique artwork and murals on the walls. If you're craving a hearty, no-nonsense cheesesteak that delivers on flavor, this place is definitely worth checking out. It's not trying to reinvent the cheesesteak wheel--it's just doing it really well.

Lots of people were excited to hear of a cheesesteak joint in the Tri-Cities area, especially in…read moreKingsport. I made several visits here to come up with my own assessment of Uptown Cheesesteak. Being originally from the Philadelphia area, I was practically born with a cheesesteak in my mouth. And when I would visit, I always ordered the same thing... the OG Cheesesteak. My conclusion to get this as close to a cheesesteak from Philly... I would ask for double the meat (the ratio of meat to bread must be 3:1 lol) and that the meat needs to be chopped down to near bits. If you bite into one and out comes a huge sliver slice of rib-eye meat, "Negative, Ghost Rider." I will say the fries are excellent. My party and I enjoyed their fries very much. And the staff is always helpful and pleasant; I appreciate them very much when they accommodate my asks. :) THANK YOU!!
