Hubby and I came here for Thursday lunch. We were immediately greeting by the super friendly…read morehostess and seated immediately. Everyone was very friendly and well, we got drinks quickly. There was a very large party in the restaurant and a few other couples. We ordered the pick two option with hubby getting a 1/2 Caesar salad and 1/2 club sandwich, I got half cup of French onion soup and 1/2 chicken salad on a croissant. Even though it seemed simple enough we waited right at an hour for the food, assuming due to the large party I think the chef brought our food out himself and apologized for the wait. I thought that was nice. Hubby said his sandwich was okay, it was very messy with avocado on it and the salad was good. My chicken salad croissant was absolutely delicious. The croissant was perfectly buttered and toasted enough that it held together well and was flaky and not over done. The chicken salad was the best I've had in a long time! The French onion soup was nice and light and simple. Perfect for an afternoon lunch.

Tonight the music was so loud my Apple Watch kept going off due to the loud music. The employee at the cash register could not hear our order. Everyone was sitting outside because the music was so loud. Is there no manager to give the band feedback? Your employees will suffer ear damage. Potato poblano soup was overcooked, burger was nothing special, spinach pear salad should have the bug eaten pieces of spinach and stems removed. This place can do better.

Service is always very attentive & friendly. Dinner was amazing! Everyone in my party of 4 had the surf & turf. Steaks were cooked perfectly and the shrimp were delicious. We added au gratin potatoes and creamed spinach. The au gratin potatoes are hands down the best I've ever had. We couldn't pass up desserts either and shared the crème brûlée and the icebox pie. Everything was decadent. The thoughtful cards & confetti left by the staff to celebrate our milestones were a sweet touch too! Be sure to make a reservation for the Chess Club Steakhouse soon!

Onion ring on top of a bacon BBQ burger. Hit the spot. Guests had the Country Fried Steak and Country Fried Chicken (they LARPED small town Texas on this trip). They enjoyed but didn't say it was amazing. The service and staff was (very) friendly and courteous but... 1) When we go sat, no one gave us cutlery. Even after the appetizers arrived we still hadn't gotten any. It took asking twice. And trust me the gap between sitting, asking 1x and then asking again was about 25 mins. At least. Our actually server recognized this and was apologetic (I think he got triple sat on a Friday night). 2) Our actual entree order was *probably* never put in originally because it took 50 minutes (and people who say after us ate and got dessert in the meantime) and when it came out it was hot. Which means it wasn't sitting around. Again our server recognized this and was very apologetic. Despite that, I'd go again. Vibe was perfect small town Texas and food hit the spot.

Sent it back and figured out that the potatoes and the brussels sprouts were cold so ask him to take them back and just nuke. Instead, they said they were remaking them, which is fine but then they brought my steak out and wanted me to sit there and eat that why my potatoes brussels sprouts were being cooked I like my food altogether I don't know about anyway so ask a manager to remake the whole meal altogether and the steak comes out bloody rare instead of well done didn't ask if it was OK didn't come back and check on us. Absolutely the worst food experience ever poor management. (not good customer service at all) the bartender on their hand was amazing spot on with drinks and great

Just gotta get out of Blanco for dinner sometimes. Bryans on 290 was so delicious last night!…read moreRestaurant has a Speak Easy vibe that I absolutely love (although it can make it hard to read the menu when you get to a certain age ). I made reservations for 6:45 and was seated immediately. I had two glasses of Rosé and the duck breast (medium) with quail and au gratin potatoes. Everything was cooked perfectly; I would have licked that reduction off my plate, it was so good! Adequate portion size. My date had the salmon with mashed potatoes and green beans, and added the squash with pecan relish (more of a sauce). The salmon was cooked well and had a great crust. The squash was delicious. Will definitely be back (hope they have the creole red fish on special again because I've got to try it!).

I am so happy to have a fine dining restaurant in Johnson City but with that comes a higher expectation. We typically have a reservation but we walked in and were offered bar seating. Beautiful bar and very comfy chairs. We were happy when they added this a few years ago. Service was friendly enough but it lagged at different points during our experience. Here is a review of the food. Wedge Salad - nice iteration of this salad included bacon, onions, cherry tomatoes and blue cheese ranch dressing. Could have used more dressing but serving was big enough for 2. Lamb Osso Bucco - looked good on the plate, tender and tasty but I struggled to find enough meat on the shank. Green Beans - forgot to bring out with entree and were completely overwhelmed by dill Signature Mac & Cheese - nothing signature about it. Thin sauce, bland I have to be honest, I yearn for the days of their blue crab dip and exceptional tenderloin steak. I think Bryan's has lost a step but we'll come back and sit at a table try something else.
