We've cut back on our visits even though we're closer now than we used to be. They do have a happy hour (3:30-5:30) on the days that they stay open late (Thurs-Sat) which helps a bit if you're having any of their alcoholic beverage offerings and appetizers (a very limited set).

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.

And the amazing warm homemade sourdough bread with the whipped garlic butter. Yes, I know it's a steak house and I didn't have steak but that French Onion Soup was just that outerworldly - rich carmelized onion base with a circle of bread and a thick gooey layer of melted gruyere = HEAVEN! I also had a bite of the ahi tuna appetizer ($14) and the firecracker shrimp (swimming in mayo), tasty but nothing noteworthy - hence a 4 star overall rating. I wish I could give half stars.

The drinks were creative and top-notch, and the food was perfection.

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.

Besides my husand and I, there was one other party seated in the dining area. We were seated at the table pretty prompt and got our water and that was the extent of the service we got. It took the waitress 10 mins to take our order and another 20 mins to get a drink from the bar that my husband ordered,, why it took so long, no clue as there were only 3 people at the bar. After we placed our orders, 2 other groups came in and were seated and their order was taken almost immediately. Within 15 mins of them ordering, their food arrived and one by one the party that placed their order after us all got their food, while my husband and waited for close to an hour. The excuse we received was there was a glitch in the device used to take the order. How that impacts us not getting our food while others did, go figure.
