The vibe, the food, the service - all of it was perfection. Kudos to the chefs, I'm beyond impressed with the Appalachia flair in each dish but also THE FLAVORS and mixing other ethnic cuisine with the local goods. A true farm to table with a flair! DO NOT SKIP the hand pie, I don't care what it contains as it changes daily. Try everything and go hungry! I'm still thinking about that meal and trying to decide if it's crazy to drive all the way back to Johnson City from Nashville just to eat there again soon. Iris, you are a gem and thank you for taking care of us. I will be back!! Also, apologies I took hardly any photos. It was too difficult not to devour the dishes right away.

Loved all of the books and antiques. So cute!

This sandwich has ham, sliced pork, pickles, cheese, Mayo, and mustard. It was good. The pub hamburger with cheese was large and filling but the bun was stale. I had to peel most of the bread off. I'm sure they would have replaced it if I had asked. I like my cheeseburgers extra cheesy. This was not. So next time I will ask for double cheese. The fries were cooked perfectly. I would like to see them offer a little spice of Cajun type seasoning on the fries but otherwise they were great. Atmosphere-meh looks like something Jon Taffer could renovate. Upon walking into the side door closest to the parking lot, you feel as if you're walking in a back door and as if it's the wrong door but we were greeted with a smiling waitress who was sweet. The women's bathroom sink tile is broken off and in need of repair. It is a large space. I wasn't super impressed with the interior but it has the basics: bar tables, a pool table, televisions, liquor, dart boards and bar decor. This place has A LOT of options for bottled hot sauce, looked like over 30 different bottles. There are 7 televisions to watch from different angles. This is a place where the locals go to eat and drink. It looked as if they are undergoing some remodeling or repairs to the outdoor area. (06/16/2021) Overall, decent. I will try it again. I would have given 4 1/2 stars because the hamburger meat was a little pink even though I asked for well done, they need a larger slice of cheese on the burger, and they really need to update the bathrooms but I don't know the history of the place. Perhaps they just bought it and haven't had a chance to update it. And the cheese thing is a personal choice. Some people probably like just one slice. Classic country music played in the background like Hank Williams, Jr. The menu is extensive!

He tried to finish it but was unable to. I had the steak bits and it was the worse meal I ever had. Steak was chewy, greasy and stringy. I got my three small bites out of it. Granddaughter ordered the kids chicken tenders and Mac and cheese. I think she got the adult version. It was extreme. She ate maybe three pieces of chicken and two bites of the mac and cheese. She's a Kraft Mac and cheese kid. I thought the Mac and cheese was good. Would have been better if it had a crust on it. The server was very apologetic about my meal and the manager. It was comped.

The outdoor area can be loud due to its close proximity to the busy street. Not really much of a view; just the parking area and passing cars. Plenty of parking in front and to the side. They do have an inside dining area, but the host didn't give us that option. Our waitress was nice but wasn't very knowledgeable about the food; I asked her if the shrimp poboy came on hard or soft bread. She said soft so I ordered that. It was toasted to the point of being rock hard; actually cut my lip on it. Otherwise the poboy was pretty good, just hard to eat. The wife enjoyed her burger, but it wasn't anything special. And neither of us cared much for their side of chips; it's clearly their attempt to be different by not serving the usual French fries. But in our opinions, it's a fail. They were neither a tasty potato chip nor a fry, but something in between, that even ketchup couldn't make tasty. Interesting place to visit once, but I doubt we'll be back.

They seem to be ready for Valentine's Day.

After we waited close to hr.we were ask if we wanted separate tables, of course not ,this is special event. he replied well it's the difference in waiting 20 min compared to a lot more. soo,we continued to wait and finally they got us sested.was a nice night because we enjoyed talking with each other. but I wish restaurants could get seating better prepared, we saw them seat 4 people at a large table, big group before us. next big event we want to to Longhorn,and call ahead doesn't work ! read more

The wait is to long not to be sitting 6ft apart. The food was slow, cold and underwhelming. How can you get so much wrong with less than a full restaurant? And this should never be happening if you want to stay open and make money. Stay away and don't come here if you can help it. read more

For our entrees, we tried the skinless boneless whitefish, flounder, popcorn shrimp, and chicken tenders.

You do not hear this kind of silence in restaurants most of the time now, but after a busy day in shopping centers blaring music all day, it was so refreshing. The staff were amazing. They seemed a little shorthanded, but they handled everything with a cheery, laid-back attitude that made me feel at ease. Felt like a fun place to work based on the attitude of the workers alone. I had the slow-roasted turkey breast with mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, glazed baby carrots, and cranberry on the side. Every item was delectable. So flavorful and comforting. And the rolls and butter served with it are among the best bread you'll get at any restaurant. This restaurant is pretty far from me. There used to be one in Bristol, VA, but it closed years ago. I make it a point to come here around my birthday, and I'd come here a lot more often if I could! I'd love to have the opportunity to try other items on the menu and just support an amazing chain. My only complain about my visit was that there was a bit of an odor of some food that I just personally didn't like. I don't know if it was broccoli or fried shrimp. I'm not sure if it was in the kitchen or wafting from the plates on the table behind us that were not removed during the entirety of our visit. But I'm not taking off a star for it. I could've just asked to sit somewhere else and it probably would've been fine. I am overall thrilled with my visit, and I cannot recommend this place enough. It was even better than when I came last year. It has never tasted so good. And the price wasn't bad, either! I am once again begging y'all to come to Abingdon or Bristol or something. After Cracker Barrel's recent fumbles (and not a lot of real competition), the old folks (and there are many) and nostalgia-lovers (like me) need a quiet place like this to meet for breakfast and enjoy church dinners. I cannot imagine anything but success (and I guarantee they'll get a lot of business and free advertising from me!!) so please consider coming our way! I'll run the bloomin' place myself if I have to!

The entrance is along the side of the building through a set of double doors. Although this area could get full when they are really crowded, there is a decent amount of room to get through. Walking in, we were greeted by the hostess right away. The dining area was mostly full for lunch but there were several tables in the bar area so we were seated right away. We noticed the overhead music was rather loud, maybe because we were in the bar area, but we could still talk without shouting. Our server, who was also the bartender, came by right away for the drink order. We asked for a few minutes to look over the menu. A different server brought our drinks in about a minute and the bartender returned shortly and took our food order. We ordered off the "3 for me" limited special menu, each selecting one of the two different burgers. For the appetizer, we selected the chips and salsa and a cup of the loaded potato soup. Both arrived within a couple minutes. The chips and salsa are average at best. The salsa tasted like tomato sauce with some cumin added and the chips were cold, thin, and from a bag. There were a lot of chips though, so I guess that is good. The loaded potato soup was also average. It was somewhat creamy and there were a couple small pieces of potato included, but the volume was very small. No more than four or five spoonfuls. The burgers arrived after about 10 minutes, brought by another server. Both the QP and Smashburger were larger than expected. Each was cooked completely without being dry and were seasoned nicely. The other included items were fresh and plentiful. The bun also tasted fresh. The only real complaint here is there was more ketchup and mustard on the QP than necessary, which made a bit of a mess while eating. The accompanying fries were hot, fresh, and plentiful. Both burgers were quite good and certainly worth the special menu price, even with the less than stellar appetizers. Our bartender server was very good, as were the other two who brought the drinks and entrees. He remained watchful without intruding and made sure we had everything we needed, checking after each item was served. This was a good lunch experience.
