We didn't know that there was another one in Kingsport but the one in Johnson City was the one we needed to go to regardless. Staff here was absolutely friendly and was knowledgeable about their food items. The vegan section is absolutely comprehensive and the portion size and as well as the prices are absolutely incredible with fair prices and big portions. This place stays open pretty late as well. Done again was a blast though the interior needs to be remodeled in some way or shape. Restrooms weren't too bad at all either. Be careful of one of the steps because it's a steep step where you might fall. Overall, I was very satisfied with a visit here and I left absolutely full. This place also has great kids deals too.

On our most recent trip, we sat outside and had excellent service. The food came out quickly, which was a nice surprise, and everything was on point. I ordered the jerk chicken grilled sandwich with pub fries--both were really good, packed with flavor, and cooked perfectly. The place has a very cool, eclectic vibe with a unique atmosphere, plus a solid beer selection to round it out. Great spot overall--highly recommend.

The outdoor area can be loud due to its close proximity to the busy street. Not really much of a view; just the parking area and passing cars. Plenty of parking in front and to the side. They do have an inside dining area, but the host didn't give us that option. Our waitress was nice but wasn't very knowledgeable about the food; I asked her if the shrimp poboy came on hard or soft bread. She said soft so I ordered that. It was toasted to the point of being rock hard; actually cut my lip on it. Otherwise the poboy was pretty good, just hard to eat. The wife enjoyed her burger, but it wasn't anything special. And neither of us cared much for their side of chips; it's clearly their attempt to be different by not serving the usual French fries. But in our opinions, it's a fail. They were neither a tasty potato chip nor a fry, but something in between, that even ketchup couldn't make tasty. Interesting place to visit once, but I doubt we'll be back.

The vibe, the food, the service - all of it was perfection. Kudos to the chefs, I'm beyond impressed with the Appalachia flair in each dish but also THE FLAVORS and mixing other ethnic cuisine with the local goods. A true farm to table with a flair! DO NOT SKIP the hand pie, I don't care what it contains as it changes daily. Try everything and go hungry! I'm still thinking about that meal and trying to decide if it's crazy to drive all the way back to Johnson City from Nashville just to eat there again soon. Iris, you are a gem and thank you for taking care of us. I will be back!! Also, apologies I took hardly any photos. It was too difficult not to devour the dishes right away.

There were photos on the wall of one of the teams I had coached. I asked someone about it and it turned out I had coached the person I asked. It made my morning. The service was very friendly and the food was tasty with ample portions. The cost was very reasonable. If I were to be in the area again, I wouldn't hesitate to stop here for breakfast again. After the food and conversation, I continued on my way to Elizabethton for a round of golf.

Located along Kingsport Highway, it's pretty easy to spot as long you know about where it is. The…read moreolder white building is set back a bit from the road and has the name in a light blue along the front. Parking is a paved lot but there really aren't any marked spaces. There is room adjacent to the building and more along the highway. I did not notice any specific handicapped spaces but the paved lot and no steps makes travel and entry fairly easy. We were greeted as we walked in and told to find a seat anywhere. Seating is a mix of booths and tables. We selected a small table on the other side of a half wall that splits the seating area into two parts. Our waitress dropped off menus and took our drink order right away. The drinks came back quickly and we asked for a few more minutes to look through the fairly large menu. After a couple more minutes, our waitress came by without being reminded and took our order. The food took a good 20 minutes to arrive. A few people who arrived after us got their orders before us so I don't know if there was a mix up in the kitchen or what. The food was hot when brought to the table, so for whatever reason ours just took longer. The Sunrise breakfast includes two eggs, a meat choice, and either biscuit or toast. The eggs and bacon were cooked as requested, and the biscuit was light and fluffy. My dining partner asked for jelly and was brought small cups of butter and jelly. There was plenty to enjoy on the biscuit without having to open the typical little jelly containers. The country breakfast included two eggs, a meat choice, and a biscuit and gravy. The eggs were cooked as requested. The sausage patty was done but not overdone. The biscuit was excellent, and the sausage gravy seems to be made from real fat so it has a ton of flavor. There was not a lot of sausage pieces, but certainly enough to notice. The flavor was outstanding and was the highlight of the meal. Blue Gills is an excellent choice for breakfast, and I am now looking forward to trying their lunch menu. There are a couple burgers that caught my eye.
