I love their pulled pork sandwich, chicken plates and their food has always been fresh and just delicious. In 27 years of going there I have NEVER had a menu pick that wasn't very tasty or poor service. I was a high school music teacher and corporate pilot for 20 years and know what bad food and poor service really are! In addition to their great food I love their Thursday night karaoke. As a pilot who has traveled the world I always tried to find the best karaoke bars in wherever I was spending the night. I've been to karaoke bars from Oslo, Norway to Athens, Greece. Hundreds! Looking for the best karaoke bars in town that also serve food. And what I found and come to the conclusion was that State Line, in GOOD OLD BRISTOL TENNESSEE, has the best KARAOKE shows along with the BEST FOOD that could be found around the world. My apologies for this long missive. I'm retired now, my rabbits foot had no more hair on it, and have an armful of grand babies to entertain!

I asked the waitress to seat us outside but one party had taken all of the chairs and having a good drunk time. I would go back but would never try to sit inside during Karaoke unless you have ear plugs. All in all it was a great place except for the loud music and make believe want to be singers. My head is still throbbing. Advice to management = TURN the music down during dinner. Let it go as loud as possible after 9 pm.

There's not really any food but they do have plenty of games. If you are not drinking at all and playing designated driver, This place does have non-alcoholic options for you and yes I mean 0.0% non alcoholic options. I didn't catch the bartender's name but he was absolutely friendly and social with us the entire time! There was nobody there on a Tuesday but he was a pleasure chatting with.

Fantastic food choices the Reuben and spicy chicken sandwiches get my highest recommendation. They offer a great number of mixed drinks made with their craft distilled spirits. Several Sunday football games were on the TVs in the cafe. The mood was festive in the cafe. Tennessee Hills has a new location in Bristol too! We will be back again and again!

It was our first time dining here, and it exceeded every expectation. Because of the summer heat, our company had only packed casual clothes. Even though it's a high-end, upscale steakhouse, we were treated with total warmth and hospitality--our attire was never an issue. When rain cut our walk through town short, we arrived an hour ahead of our reservation, but the host team graciously seated us without a hitch. The real star of our evening, however, was our waiter, Jayden. Simply put, Jayden was exceptional. From the moment we sat down until we walked out the door, he made us feel like the only table in the entire restaurant. He was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond at every turn. Every part of the meal was outstanding--from the expertly crafted drinks to the delicious prime rib dinner and dessert. We even ended up bringing home a bottle of their exclusive bourbon! To top off an already perfect night, Jayden helped us celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary (which we hadn't even mentioned beforehand) with a wonderful, thoughtful touch. Outstanding food, incredible atmosphere, and world-class service. We highly recommend Jackson's Prime, and we will definitely be asking for Jayden on our next visit. Thank you, Jayden--and cheers to 21!

I visited Jackson Prime on Thursday, August 20, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing…read morebefore we ever had the opportunity to sit down and eat. I originally had an OpenTable reservation for 8:30 p.m. Earlier that day, while I was traveling from Kentucky to Johnson City, I received a call from the restaurant asking if I could move my reservation to an earlier time. I agreed and explained that, because I was traveling, the earliest I could reasonably make it was 7:30 p.m. My reservation was then changed to 7:30. We ended up arriving around 6:30 p.m. and checked in with the host, Caleb. I completely understood that we were an hour early and did not expect our reserved table to be immediately available. However, although the restaurant was busy, we could see several empty tables and booths, and there were no other guests waiting at the entrance. We were told our only options were to eat outside or sit at the bar. I asked if we could simply have a drink at the bar while waiting for our 7:30 table, which seemed like a perfectly reasonable request and something I have done at countless restaurants. Surprisingly, we were told no. At that point, we agreed to just eat at the bar. Caleb told us there were two seats available and walked us through the restaurant. Along the way, we passed empty booths and tables, only to arrive at a completely packed bar where there was actually only one available seat; another seat was being saved for someone else. Before we could even explain that there were not two seats available, Caleb turned around and disappeared toward the kitchen, leaving us standing there without any assistance or alternative. We returned to the front and told another staff member that we were leaving because there were not actually two seats available at the bar and no other reasonable option had been offered. After leaving, I decided to call and ask to speak with a manager because the entire interaction had been so unusual and unprofessional. Caleb answered the phone and placed me on hold for several minutes. I called back and was placed on hold again. Eventually, a woman came to the phone, but rather than simply listening to my concerns about the way the situation had been handled, the conversation immediately became defensive and she told me she had questions for me. At that point, I ended the call because it was clear that expressing my concerns was going nowhere. I dine out frequently and have been fortunate to visit many wonderful restaurants, from casual establishments to very high-end dining. I do not expect special treatment, and I certainly understood that we arrived earlier than our reservation. What I do expect is basic courtesy, professionalism, and reasonable communication--especially from a restaurant that had contacted me earlier that same day asking me to accommodate their request by changing my original reservation. Unfortunately, that was not the experience we received at Jackson Prime. What stood out most was not that we couldn't be seated an hour early; it was the dismissive and unprofessional way the entire situation was handled. A restaurant can have excellent food and a beautiful atmosphere, but the way guests are treated from the moment they walk through the door matters just as much.

Me and the missus gets blown into this pub like two gobshites lookin' a shelter and a feed. And ... what a shout! I ordered the corned beef and cabbage, and I swear on me Ma's good china, it was filthy good. Fork went through it like it owed me money. Juicy, melty, little ribbons of fat runnin' through it like it was showin' off. The cabbage? Deadly. The mash? Lads... the mash tasted like an angel got notions and said "ah go on, I'll make this one myself." Bit of garlic, bit of peel, bit of magic. I nearly cried. We're not from Johnson City, so it might be a hot minute before we're back, but believe me--if I'm anywhere within sniffin' distance of this town again, I'll be leggin' it back to this place like a man late for mass. Ciaran, our server, was sound as a pound--quick, chatty, callin' us "friends" like he was adoptin' us. Man deserves a raise and a parade. The place is set up for tunes later on, loads of seats, loos clean enough to perform surgery in--madness. Prices? Couldn't argue with 'em even if I wanted to. The missus got fish and chips for eighteen quid, mine was twenty-one. Soft drinks only two quid, and a rake of beers and cocktails if you're feelin' spicy. Absolutely recommend this spot to slake the thirst and sate the hunger--ah now, that's the kind of night that'd put manners on ya.
