    This place is unassuming and the food is delicious. The sides are shareable which is great. We had The 14oz Ribeye,Caesar salad,surf n turf,fries, Peach Bellini . It was so delicious.

    The wife and I chose The Chess Club Steak House to celebrate our 31st anniversary. The wife called and made a reservation for two. It is a house converted into a restaurant. It used to be one of our favorite breakfast spots (The Chess Club Cafe). When we arrived, we noticed a facelift was given to the place inside and out. The owner/hostess seated us promptly and a hand signed Anniversary card with photo was on the table with a few decorations. Very classy! The calamari was ordered for the appetizer and a couple glasses of red wine too. The calamari was the best I have ever had. Not oily or heavy, very clean, crisp, and tender. Three dipping sauces accompanied the dish. Delicious all three! We went to a steakhouse and didn't order a steak. I ordered the PISTACHIO ENCRUSTED SEA BASS and the wife the CRAB CAKES. I am from Galveston and my grandmother made crab cakes for a living. I've tasted a few in my life. The absolute best! In all honesty, my sea bass was a little too salty for my wife. I didn't mind the extra salt but just saying. The menu is ala carte. The two sides to accompany our entrees were the jalapeno macaroni and cheese and Brussel sprouts. Both of which were fantastic. Overall, the meal was superb! So why not dessert. I misunderstood the menu on the Caramel Pecan Ice Cream Pie. I thought it was a pecan pie with caramel and ice cream. Nope...it was exactly what it said, an ice cream pie with pecan and caramel. I'm not a big ice cream pie fan but as ice cream pies go...not bad. Everyone said the bread pudding is a must. It was a nice finish to an incredible meal. Thank you Chess Club Steakhouse for making this special event a memorable one.

    The steak I had was one of the best I've had in years! The strawberry shortcake dessert was also great.

Onion ring on top of a bacon BBQ burger. Hit the spot. Guests had the Country Fried Steak and Country Fried Chicken (they LARPED small town Texas on this trip). They enjoyed but didn't say it was amazing. The service and staff was (very) friendly and courteous but... 1) When we go sat, no one gave us cutlery. Even after the appetizers arrived we still hadn't gotten any. It took asking twice. And trust me the gap between sitting, asking 1x and then asking again was about 25 mins. At least. Our actually server recognized this and was apologetic (I think he got triple sat on a Friday night). 2) Our actual entree order was *probably* never put in originally because it took 50 minutes (and people who say after us ate and got dessert in the meantime) and when it came out it was hot. Which means it wasn't sitting around. Again our server recognized this and was very apologetic. Despite that, I'd go again. Vibe was perfect small town Texas and food hit the spot.

The drinks were creative and top-notch, and the food was perfection. We got the pimento cheese and sausage and I have never had a better pimento cheese - it's smoked, I guess, and it was insanely good. We also shared the SearedPork Chop and got a side of Saffron Parmesan Orzo and everything was ideal. The service was great as well and the ambiance was exactly what we were looking for. There is literally nothing that they could have done better--fantastic experience, as always.

I am so happy to have a fine dining restaurant in Johnson City but with that comes a higher expectation. We typically have a reservation but we walked in and were offered bar seating. Beautiful bar and very comfy chairs. We were happy when they added this a few years ago. Service was friendly enough but it lagged at different points during our experience. Here is a review of the food. Wedge Salad - nice iteration of this salad included bacon, onions, cherry tomatoes and blue cheese ranch dressing. Could have used more dressing but serving was big enough for 2. Lamb Osso Bucco - looked good on the plate, tender and tasty but I struggled to find enough meat on the shank. Green Beans - forgot to bring out with entree and were completely overwhelmed by dill Signature Mac & Cheese - nothing signature about it. Thin sauce, bland I have to be honest, I yearn for the days of their blue crab dip and exceptional tenderloin steak. I think Bryan's has lost a step but we'll come back and sit at a table try something else.

When it came time to pay, the server got upset because I was using one dollar coins to pay. I was paying in American legal tender one dollar coins and he says we do not accept this as payment. I said they are legal tender one dollar coins and he says again we do not accept this kind of payment. So I ended up using my debit card. This place does not accept legal one dollar coins for payment of any type. I asked to speak to a manager and he says we do not have a manager here. I always use one dollar establishments around there. They always accept them. We will not be going back there. Because they do not accept American legal of one dollar coins. His demeanor and attitude immediately became rather distasteful. this kind of we will not be going back there this establishment for the local area.
