Came for breakfast with my parents, left after a cup of coffee. The thing is, we were lured in by…read moretheir expansive menu, hoping for a good, filling, southern breakfast. But when we arrived, right after they opened on a Sunday morning, we were told that they only serve "what we refer to as 'brunch' on Sundays", and were handed paper menus with five items on it. Slightly confused, hoping we could still order off of their main menu, we waited for the waitress to return with our coffee (three Americanos and one latte). And we waited. And then we waited. And we waited some more. While we waited, three other parties came in, sat down, questioned the menu, then got up and left. Had it been just us that had that reaction to the abbreviated menu, I would have voted to woman up and just stay put. I didn't want to be "those tourists" who get all riled up about something local that doesn't fit their expectations. But once we (finally!) got our coffee and asked the waitress for clarification, we realized we had to go. The menu was the menu. Their sides - which are referenced on the menu but are never explained - were lackluster for the "base" and even less impressive for the "premium" options, which of course would have cost us even more money. That, paired with the uninspired and surprisingly one-note menu just drove us right out the door. My latte was at least delightful, but that's all I can say. Also, the place was likely very clean, because we were hit by a powerful smell of disinfectant and/or cleaner when we walked in. And finally, the waitress removed my menu after she saw me taking a picture of it. She didn't touch anybody else's menu, just mine.

The space serves breakfast (homemade gravy) throughout the day and has many burger choices. We ordered the daily special - lasagna and Chicago style beef sandwich. Both were good. The lasagna is not overly spicy and suitable for those who don't tolerate a lot of spice, but it was not bland and had a mom's casserole appeal. It came with a fresh side salad with homemade vinaigrette dressing. The Chicago style Italian Beef sandwich was on a fresh soft substantial bun and came with mozzarella cheese and a great dipping sauce. Very good. The owner's wife said everything was fresh made when ordered, chicken handcut, burgers hand patted, and only the fries were frozen. This little family friendly spot seemed to be a stop for workers in the area looking for a good meal at a good price. If you are in the area it is worth stopping by. I'll give it 5 stars because it does a great job of being that local diner.

She was friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the menu and was running her tail off the whole time we were there. None of her patrons waited for anything! She was QUICK! The wings were huge, meaty and juicy. The Foghorn Leghorn chicken sandwich was the thickest peice of chicken I've ever seen on a bun. The sidewinder fries were unique and yummy. The onion rings were great!! The dining room was very clean and so were the bathrooms. Plenty of condiments on the tables, too. My only *meh* is the cheap sysco cutlery. Just a nit. The people at the table next to us were raving about their burgers and hot dogs. Stop by!!

We drove from Johnson City to Kingsport one morning looking for something quick, and as always, I trusted my Yelp peeps to point us toward something good. Big As Biscuits & Burgers is tucked inside a gas station but don't let that deter you for a second. These biscuits are no joke. We were originally thinking of a sit-down breakfast, but my partner is a full-blown biscuit enthusiast. If we see biscuits, we try the biscuits. So we stopped in, and the woman behind the counter was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We grabbed a ginormous biscuit for just over $3. She had all the single-serve jams and jellies ready to go, which I appreciated. We took it back to the car to eat. First impression: this thing requires two hands. It's massive. She had already sliced it for us, and when I opened it up, you could see the buttery pockets where it melted into the dough while baking. It wasn't ultra-layered and flaky like a laminated biscuit, but it was perfectly soft on the inside with a beautiful crunch on the outside. The flavor was spot on!!! Soft, warm, buttery and comforting. We added a little jam, though honestly it didn't even need butter. It was that good. If you're looking for a quick, satisfying bite that will absolutely fill your belly, stop at Big As Biscuits & Burgers. We're already talking about grabbing a few more to bring back to the hotel before we leave town. Sometimes the best finds are inside a gas station and sometimes a biscuit really can make your morning.
