So this place kind of reminds me of the old show "Cheers" where everybody knows your name. It was…read morefull of a bunch of locals and when my friend and I walked in, literally everyone stops to stare because we aren't from that city. They just have typical bar/basic food. It took about 15-20 minutes to get a soda and another 15-20 minutes to get some chips. If you like going to a place that allows smoking, reeked of smoking inside and out and just a bar scene than maybe you might like it. But I wouldn't recommend going to eat here because you will be waiting quite some time. They had 2 dart boards. When we left, again, everyone stopped what they were doing that was sitting outside because apparently we stuck out like a sore thumb and watched us until we left. Not the most welcoming place to "outsiders".

I visited this sandwich shop / ice cream shop during lunch on my 2nd day in town while on a…read morebusiness trip. Inside its pretty eclectic with many items posted on the walls. To me it looks more like a tea shop than a sandwich shop. During our visit, they played fairly loud religious music for a sandwich shop. Next door was an ice cream shop but I didn't feel like any ice cream after eating and I'm not a big Blue Bell fan anyway. They have 2 menus and a lot of items to choose from but most are breakfast or lunch items. I went with a specialty sandwich, the Victoria (a chicken sandwich on ciabatta bread) and a sweet tea. I added their homemade potato salad for $1 more. The sandwich - this was a tasty sandwich on soft ciabatta bread but only 1 problem, the kitchen put American cheese on it. The menu indicated it had cheddar. Luckily they were able to bring me some cheddar from the kitchen while I was scraping off the processed cheese. Overall, it was pretty good because of a sauce they put on it which is slathered all over the shredded chicken. Potato salad - this is mayo based, quite different than the mustard based potato salad in the south. They added plenty of dill on the sandwich which made my colleague cringe since he also substituted for potato salad, but I thought it was pretty good. The service was a little strange as I heard our waitress keep making mistakes with another nearby table too as she kept saying "sorry" to that table as well.

When in downtown Kingsport it can be hard to find good food. We finally found a terrific place for…read moresandwiches! FYI...there are two locations with similar names. One is for breakfast and lunch and one serves sandwiches, coffee, and ice cream. We chose the latter one. Small dining area but it was not busy so we seated ourselves. Promptly someone came and took our order after giving us some very helpful suggestions. We chose The Rose with broccoli salad and the Smoking Cricket with potato salad. All of it was delicious. But our favorite is The Rose. Their homemade pimento cheese with bacon and pepper jelly on ciabatta was amazing!

I chose tater tots with it. Their drink machine isn't up an running so you get one can of pop with your combo. No refills yet. The hamburger was decent and the tater tots good but you didn't get but a small handful of them. As far as the environment, there were tons of flies. They need some fly traps. The tables were not very clean and there were crumbs on the chairs. The ladies restroom needed some attention. As to the employees, they had to put their electronic devices down when we came in. We almost felt like we were interrupting them. They took our order and immediately went back to their electronic devices. The most they said was when we left. They told us to drive safely and thank you. Not sure I will go back, but if I do, I will give them time to get settled and work out the kinks of a new establishment.

Today just went with the pork with two sides, Mac and cheese and tater tots. The pork was good. They don't sauce you do that yourself.

I got a sausage and mushroom pizza that was about $18 and the only size, like a medium. It showed up and 1/2 of it was the outside crust and the tiny bits of pieces with toppings had none!

We had to go somewhere else to actually have dinner and we aren't big eaters, we usually share a meal. The servers were friendly and the atmosphere is good but I would NOT recommend you eat here.

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.

We grabbed a booth (you can seat yourself when you go in). Make sure you go in through the ENTER door. We started with waters while we looked over the menu. The waters were 32 oz to go cups! It's been 10 days since our visit and I think I'm still sipping on that water. It was a LOT of water. Our order consisted of a two hot dogs, onion rings, milkshakes, and a hot caramel cake. The hot dogs were good. Not great, but good. The onion rings were very nearly burnt. Probably just a touch too crispy. The milkshakes were ok. But one thing moved this review from a 3 to 4 star: the hot caramel cake. Holy cow. I know it was relatively simple but the yellow cake cupcake, in a bowl filled to the brim with hot caramel sauce, and a tower of vanilla soft serve....YUM! I'd come back here just for that. The service was hit or miss depending on who stopped by the table. All in all, I'd return but I'd try a burger and get a hot caramel cake AND a hot fudge cake.
