The lady at the front desk said it's the best burger in Johnson City. I have to say the burgers at huge and made just right. It's a nice bar with a ginormous tv although this Friday night was fairly dead with only 2 or 3 patrons other than my Mrs and I. It's bright clean and happy just like the staff. If I were local I'd have a burger or two here every month.

Thanks Tulips for great food and service.

Good sized wings and perfectly fried. If you come by Wednesday after 5:00 they're 75 cents a wing. Best bargain in town. The buffalo sauce is fairly mild so if you want more heat bring your own to add. The gf LOVED the burger and their fries are lightly coated and seasoned and fried to a nice crisp. The owner Colter is super friendly and just the kind of guy who deserves your business. They support local music here with both indoor and outdoor acts as well. Plenty of outdoor patio space for the Florida vibe. Aces all around. Give this place a try.

We met my parents here for what was supposed to be a late breakfast/brunch situation, but ended up…read morebeing lunch. We found out after we sat down that they stop serving breakfast at 11:30 am on Fridays, in order to prep the kitchen for all the fish frying they do. The restaurant feels like you'd expect for a place called "Pop's"; very homey, a little old-fashioned, but comfortable. We snagged a table for four to wait for my parents to arrive, and the nicest waitress I've ever met brought us coffee and water. (The coffee was surprisingly good, by the way.) Once my parents arrived, we were able to order: Chicken Fried Steak, corn bread and macaroni & cheese and potato salad for me (plus a bonus biscuit brought by our kind waitress); French Dip sandwich for my husband; chicken livers with corn and mashed potatos for mom (don't judge her...I already did haha); beef steak with mashed potatoes and tater tots for dad. My husband also ordered a plate of the spicy pickles for the table, though my mom - who will eat fried chicken livers at 12 pm on a Thursday - refused to touch them. The pickles came out quickly, and were served with two spicy ranch and one regular ranch for dipping. My dad, husband and I went to town on them - crispy, perfectly fried and paired well with the sauces - while my mom looked on. It didn't take long for the menfolk to clear the plate of pickles, so we waited. And we waited. And then we waited some more. Our waitress stopped by a few times to refill our coffee and water, and to give us updates on the food. She did apologize that it was taking so long, at least. Once the food did come out, we all fairly fell on our plates. The chicken fried steak was decent, and had some good flavor. The mac and cheese was good, the potato salad was zesty. The biscuit was big and fluffy on the inside, with a slight crisp to the crust. Perfect. My least favorite thing was the cornbread muffin, it was bland to me. Everybody else loved their meals, though my mom kept saying how big the serving was. It was like the kitchen took every chicken liver they had in the fridge, fried it up and dumped it on her plate. There was no way she was going to eat everything, so she pushed some over to my husband, the only other human at that table who would have been inclined to help her with her meal. We all pushed away from the table over 90 minutes later, sated by the meal and pleased by the service.

The restaurant is tucked away off Mountcastle Drive and has an upscale but welcoming atmosphere. All three of us ordered the catch of the day--the halibut--which was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Our waiter was very helpful for navigating the extensive drink menu. We also tried several cocktails, and the Bee's Knees was easily the standout. The lavender notes made it light, refreshing, and unique. Great food, great drinks, and a wonderful spot for a special dinner with family.

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.
