We stopped at Captain Jim's last FRIDAY to give it a try- we do not live in Mountain City so…read moreeverytime we are there we try new places. This will be the one and only time there. The lights were not on due to trying to keep the place cool (we understand that) and she asked us if we wanted them but we said no. I guess one of the 2 women working there was taking care of a young boy, he was sitting in a booth watching a movie or program on a cell phone and he had the volumn up that we heard it while walking into the restaurant. He was never asked by either women working there to turn it down. The lady working the front told us to have a seat and she would bring us a menu. We ordered the fish and chips in which the price had been edited from $15.99 but the new price was rubbed off so we thought it was only a $1-2 dollars more. Apparently it was not, The fish were a good size and delicious but that was the only thing, When my husband paid our bill he was shocked that it came up to $46.80 not including a tip. 2- Fish and Chips; 1 tea and 1 water. Yes looking back now we should have asked the price since it was unreadable but that was our mistake. Unfortunately I have misplaced the receipt to comfirm all the charges, but the prices are very high and from looking on line at the menu I still cannot come up with that price and it definitely was noy worth almost $50,00.

We stopped in at 128 Pecan recently and really enjoyed the experience. The restaurant is tucked…read moreinside a cute little house, which gives it a warm, cozy ambience that feels welcoming right away. The menu has a nice variety of options. I went with the Caesar salad, which was fresh and superb. My husband ordered the Cuban sandwich with onion rings, and both were excellent. Everything came out hot and in a reasonable amount of time. Our waitress was fantastic -- attentive, friendly, and very flexible when we had a couple of special requests. Prices for the entrées seemed on the higher side for a small town, but there are plenty of soups, sandwiches, and other more affordable choices on the menu. Portions are generous and the quality is solid, so it feels like a fair value, especially if you're treating yourself for a special occasion. Overall, we had a great experience and would happily return.

The food was very good. We arrived on a Tuesday at 12:30 and were greeted by prominent signage…read morethat "no tables were to be seated until the full party had arrived." I suppose proximity to the Va Creeper Trail encouraged this as I could see folk holding up a table whilst waiting would be a potential issue. We were seated promptly and given menus and served water and sodas. The rock music was pretty loud for the restaurant, which has some smaller rooms that are serviceable but cramped and a bit echoey and dark. By 12:35 our order was in and by 12:51 on our table. The table has a nice individual light, and a bottle of water on the table. Unlike some other local restaurants, soda refills are free and a pitcher was brought by the table to serve refills of diet coke. What was not good was the large beer poster of the St Paulie Girl with her nipples hanging out. I realize these are beer posters and I realize they are German and things are different there. But this was a prominently placed poster. I just wouldn't think a place where a lot of families dine would put this in such a prominent spot, or any spot really. I'm not a super prude, I just raised three sons. So the sandwich though, was very good.

Found this place on Yelp during drive to Asheville. Had to detour off 23S to Gate City. Small…read moresmokehouse with limited parking. It was packed the day before Independence Day as several folks were getting take out (good sign) I ordered the large Chopped Brisket Platter with collard greens, potato salad, and it came with a roll. The platter was enough for 2 that I shared with my wife. The brisket was well smoked yet juicy. It really didn't need sauce but I tried 4 of the 6 available. They had their own NC sauce that was my favorite as it had the best combo of vinegar and spices. Others included Bama, SC, Texas, Original, Sweet and Spicy, and a hotter one that had zip but not real heat. The potato salad was traditional with a hint of mustard and pickle juice. The collard greens were delicious and well cooked / fresh The Banana Puddling was a delight. None of the parts overwhelmed the others and the vanilla wafers were soft but not soggy They have several folding tables to sit on the inside but set up for mostly carry-out. Staff was friendly even while working hard to get people served in a timely manner. It cost us around $25 plus tip but it fed 2 people.

It's been awhile since I've eaten at the restaurant but we use their catering anytime we have a working lunch. Our food includes: Baked potatoes with all the toppings - these things are really large and tasty Corn casserole - y'all this stuff is the BOMB!! So tasty I can't help but go back for seconds. I recommend a drizzle of sweet heat and the white bbq sauce over top Mac and cheese - so creamy with a white cheddar mixture. A crowd favorite. Pulled pork - perfectly cooked and tender. So much flavor in just the meat. Some of the best I had. Smoked chicken breast - YUM!!! So tender with a great smoked flavor. I find myself just snacking on extra pieces when we have leftover. And the sauces!!! All of them are good but my personal recommendation is a combination of Sweet Heat and the White Sauce. Prices are very reasonable for high end BBQ so grab yourself a combo plate (make sure to include the corn casserole) and ENJOY!!! You won't be disappointed!!!

After years of coming over to the restaurant I've gotten to know them better and become good friends with them. They are such hard workers. The food is very authentic Japanese food. The sushi is amazing and the selection of fishes that they have is great! I've had almost all of the rolls throughout my visits to the restaurant and I've loved all of them. It's a lovely little family owned restaurant that has my whole heart. I would recommend it for anybody who wants an authentic Japanese meal. Most authentic Japanese restaurant in the tri-cities in my opinion.

We got 3 different types of sushi rolls including variations of rainbow and volcano and the tiger... nothing was good. It was all kind of mushy in texture which grossed us out. The chicken bento my husband got was literally inedible and he left it untouched. The beef udon broth had a really odd flavor than we are used to so I didn't care for it and the noodles felt undercooked. The edamame was great though and the miso was lacking in flavor but still edible. Service was good other than she didn't seem to notice how bad everything was for us.
