First off, this place is way nicer than I deserve to be in. Low lights, super clean, and everybody looks like they have their life together. Meanwhile I'm just there for moral support and food. Olivia was behind the bar absolutely carrying the establishment, making drinks like a professional and not judging me for sitting there alone. She was super attentive, super attractive, the drinks were perfect, and you can tell the staff actually cares about what they're doing. Shout out the host Meisha she is tough also! I ordered food expecting "good for Kingsport," and got "actually really, really good." Everything came out fast, looked fancy, and tasted even better than it looked. No complaints at all. The vibe is perfect whether you're on a date, with friends, or just sitting there solo like me pretending you're important. Super relaxed but still upscale. 10/10 would recommend. Go sit at the bar and tip Olivia so I can have a nice birthday present.

Fabulous drink. I also tried the banana old-fashioned, which was tasty but definitely more of a slow-sipping cocktail rather than something to knock back quickly. The table-side guacamole was a great way to start the meal -- fresh and made right in front of you. For my entrée, I had the honey glazed salmon, served with mushroom rice with spinach and vegetables , and it was absolutely divine. I'm not usually a big rice person, but this was excellent, and the spinach was a perfect complement to the salmon. Every bite was outstanding. Service was fantastic -- my server was friendly, attentive, and made sure I had everything I needed throughout the meal. I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend Fusion at Ridgefields to anyone looking for a great meal with a creative drink menu.

The sauce is first, it didn't have much flavor. Second, the sausage was different (like a long sausage sliced thin); we just didn't like it. Third, it was kind of salty tasting (maybe the sausage?). On the positive side, I will give the crust a nice nod as it has some crispness. I make a lot of pizzas at home and my homemade pizzas are every bit as good. The only location in Tri Cities I like better than mine is Raffael's. You may disagree, and that is fine, but, for our palate, we will not return.

Kinda confusing. The other Two Dads has a bunch of different sandwiches, wraps, pimento cheese etc. The menu is pretty limited to burgers, a couple other sandwiches, and breakfast. I got the burger and tater tots. It was fine. Nothing to write home about, but certainly a filling burger. Wife got two hot dogs with chili and fries. Her fries looked better than my tots. It looked fine. The service was dry but, fine I guess. There were some flies, but hey, every restaurant, especially this time of year has those. The most memorable thing however was the Confederate flag stating "Git R Done" on the wall and the Uncle Remus ad. I get it, you're going for that 1959s diner vibe, but I wouldn't recommend this place, especially if the other Two Dads, without the outdated decor, is open across the street.

Located on the corner of Sullivan and Charlemont, it's pretty easy to find. There is a small…read moreparking lot adjacent to the building, but the surface is pretty bad. It's paved, but there is a major broken hump you would need to drive over to get into several of the parking spaces. The hump was high enough to scrape the bottom of the vehicle. It had rained previously so there was also a six inch deep puddle next to the hump. Taller pickup trucks or SUVs could park in these spaces but not regular sedans or minivans. Other parking is available on the street, with parallel parking spaces as well as angled spaces. In general, you won't have much issue finding a space, but there were no handicapped spaces noticed. Access to the entrance door also requires a step as no sidewalk ramps were observed. This is not a restaurant issue but should be noted for the mobility impaired. We were greeted as we walked in and taken to a small table. Seating is somewhat crowded but not bad. The decor is very homey and eclectic. It also seems they change decorations based on the season which would keep the interior fresh. There were a lot of boxes of various items taking up floor space which did impact maneuverability, so please be aware as you go to and from your seat. Our server took our drink order right away and brought the drinks back quickly. We needed more time to peruse the menu and our server was very gracious and came back after an appropriate time. I did not get her name but she was very good. Our order took 10-15 minutes to arrive. The 2 eggs, meat, and biscuit with gravy was fine. The eggs were a bit undercooked from what was ordered. The sausage patty was a bit overdone and tough to cut. The gravy needed additional pepper, but this is a personal choice. The biscuit was good and easily the best part of the dish. The French toast was cooked perfectly, as was the bacon. The eggs were also cooked to order. The Jeremy's western omelet was not as expected. My dining partner did not want home fries (as included in Stacey"s western home fries bowl) but when the dish arrived it was on a bed of home fries. We re-checked the menu to be sure the correct dish was ordered and then called our server. She indicated both the Stacey's bowl and Jeremy's bowl included home fries, even though the menu does not include home fries for the Jeremy's bowl. Our server talked to both the kitchen and one of the owners to confirm and then offered to re-make the Jeremy's bowl without the home fries. We were told they made a mistake on the menu and both bowls included home fries. Apparently the Stacey's bowl does not include eggs while the Jeremy's bowl does. Since it had been some time already my dining partner did not want to wait for a re-fire. She wound up eating only about half the order, partially for time and partially because of a large amount of grease pooling on the plate. The take home container had a good amount of oil on the bottom when arriving home. Their menu does offer a decent array of dining options. The execution was a bit spotty, but the service was outstanding.

Wasted $30 for soggy pizza and wings so hard you could probably have better luck biting through steel. Called to let them know hoping they would remake it but they jumped to call slice for a refund so we did. Once in the phone with slice they made us hold so they could reach out to the guy I was just talking to at the location. Slice came back saying they refused to allow a refund. I called the location back and the kid working was rude saying maybe you shouldn't wait an hour to eat your food and they feel they did nothing wrong. Not really surprised seeing this is Kingsport Tn. If there was a way I could leave negative stars I would. Slice was nice enough to give me a credit but I declined and told them it was not their failure it was the fake Italian place in Ridgefields. read more

I would have liked my meatball sub to have been a little bit warmer, hot enough for the cheese to melt but it was still good. It had a slightly sweet taste to it which was fine with me. The ratio of sauce to meat was perfect. The subs are 12" so they are big enough to share or to take home half. I didn't see if fries or chips were available but next time I'll ask. The owner told us there is live entertainment on the weekends upstairs. The tables are clean and the restaurant is orderly and odor-free. The floor could use a good sweeping especially since we were there right at 11 and it wasn't busy yet. But that's just me being picky. Overall, a good variety of food and it was good and a great price considering the sandwiches are 12" long.
