And they're actually open on Mondays -- which apparently nobody else around here is. It's kind of ridiculous how much stuff closes on Mondays down here. This was the only ice cream shop we could find open within 30 miles. The woman working was so sweet too. We'll definitely be back!

Sycamore Drive-In is Carter's County's ultimate diamond in the rough. If you don't know what you…read moreare looking for, you might drive right past it. The once-thriving area of downtown Elizabethton occupied by the Sycamore has fallen to pieces in recent years, but the classic restaurant remains. The former walk-up counter has been closed in with a few tables added, though the main business is take-out orders from locals on their lunch break or looking for an affordable dinner. The menu is general "burger joint" fare with a pretty large selection ranging from bologna sandwiches to chicken tenders, with sides including fries and mozzarella sticks. But the absolute stars of the menu are the burgers. Sycamore's patties are almost literally melt-in-your-mouth fare, juicy but not especially greasy. I like mine plain but ask about some of their specialty "off-menu" offerings to see how creative this hometown eatery can get with an American classic. One thing I have noticed about the food is that it is rarely too salty, likely owing to their attention to the needs of their clientele, many of whom are older folks who have been eating there for decades. That's a welcome change from normal fast-food fare. And speaking of fast food, Sycamore's prices easily beat similar fare in town. A regular cheeseburger will run you just $3.25, with a huge double cheeseburger coming in at $4.25. You can easily feed a family of four here for under $20.00 and be full. Don't let the old-timey exterior and the seemingly out-of-place location deter you: Sycamore Drive-In is truly a local gem in Elizabethton.

Stay out here was very friendly though they were pretty young too. The store was pretty quiet too but the selection of ice cream wasn't too bad at all. If you are curious about the flavor they let you sample the ice cream. They even have only one non-dairy flavor for those that are particular. There are a couple of gluten-free flavors too. I do enjoy that it's open until 9pm. Overall, I thought it was a pretty average place for an ice cream store.

Clean dining area with tables and chairs for indoor dining. A couple benches along the wall for outdoor dining. Both Hershey and Blue Bell ice creams are served here. Many choices, many flavors. Just tell them what flavors you want and they will give you samples if you can't decide. They put your cones in a holder by the cash register where you can also find your cups lined up and ready to go. Quick service gets you in and out.

It wasn't super busy when we came in but the two young ladies behind the counter were definitely eager to get us in and out. Not the warmest or most welcoming of customer service. They do have a nice selection of flavors to choose from though and they have a coffee menu as well. Love that's it's family owned. Be prepared for no seating available indoor or outdoor but it's a nice area that's walkable with other stuff to do.

So maybe it was just an off day but customer service wasn't very warm or friendly. My mom and I…read morecame here today to grab some coffees and they were good. I got a cinnamon bun latte and my mom ordered a lavender coffee. Both were good. Wasn't super pricey, we got two cups that were medium sized for $12.00, not bad for a touristy area. The place was clean and decorated cute, the coffee was good and pretty affordable, but 3 stars because both staff members were not very friendly and almost seemed like we were bothering them by coming in. Again, hopefully it was just an off day, but customer service definitely goes a long way, especially for people visiting out of town. I do recommend stopping by here to try coffee, lots of variety in their menu with flavors, and all the different milk options you can think of. :)
