Burger Bar is a classic 1950s diner located in Bristol, known for its hefty burgers, hot dogs, and milkshakes. This divey spot is famous for being the last place Hank Williams Sr. was seen alive in 1952. The menu features burgers piled high with various toppings like caramelized onions and homemade chili, as well as spicy options like the Fire God with a mix of fiery peppers.
While driving through town, I noticed an old-school-looking burger joint. Curious, I quickly checked the reviews while waiting at a nearby traffic light and, seeing they were quite positive overall, decided to park and give it a try. The ladies working inside were extremely friendly and helpful, which was a great start. Their menu is incredibly unique and fun, featuring a wide variety of amazing burgers. As a fan of spicy food, I was pleased to see several options that catered to my taste. My server took the time to explain how they roast hot peppers to create their own unique blend, which I found very impressive. I decided to go with the Cold, Cold Heart burger, primarily because it included jalapeños. Although tempted by the Fire God Burger, the combination of scorpion and ghost peppers seemed a bit too intense for me. My burger was prepared quickly while I watched from the counter, which was a nice touch. The fries that accompanied it were excellent—slightly thicker than regular fries with a delightful seasoning. They were served piping hot and crispy. The highlight was definitely the burger itself. It was outstanding! The jalapeños added a lovely flavor without being overly spicy, and the bun was exceptional—soft yet sturdy enough to hold everything together without falling apart. The meat was substantial and perfectly cooked. For condiments, they offer squeeze bottles from the fridge upon request. I opted for mayo on my burger and experimented with ketchup and mustard separately to see which I preferred. Honestly, the burger was delicious with or without the additional condiments. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and would highly recommend stopping in. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town!

I typically love a classic juicy greasy burger joint. But this was bad. $17.50 for a bacon burger and sweet potato fries. My wife got the Mormon burger with onions rings. Nasty! Meat is pretty tasteless. Onion rings were mostly bread and tasted like old grease. Same for sweet potato fries. Kitchen or perhaps the waitress messed up the order. I ordered my burger with no onion. and I was served the Onion rings not fries and my bread soaked up all that nasty onion grease Don't waste your $ here. And the $6.32 in VA Meal tax and fees. " yall get better "

This was our first visit and we will be back for many more. The food was excellent! I really appreciate them keeping to the original layout of the restaurant. It adds so much to the experience. They also offer turkey and veggie burgers which can be substituted for any menu item instead of beef. The food came out quickly and made fresh. Great place!

Great historic diner that opened in 1942. What a blast from the past. Love nostalgic places like this and the food did not disappoint. Everything cooked to perfection and flavorful. Our server was extremely efficient and friendly. Just an all-around great place. We're definitely go back when in town and try something new.

Absolutely the best Reuben I've EVER had. The sauerkraut wasn't too overpowering, which can ruin a Reuben very quickly. Also, wasn't greasy at all, which also can ruin them for me. Exceptional quality and taste! Highly recommend you try it if you haven't!
Michael H — Google review
Excellent option for old time diner feel. Reuben was delicious. We also tried the Parmesan fries and onion rings. Shakes flavors seem to be endless. The rootbeer float shake and the chocolate mint were two tried. We also had a cherry berry float which was delicious. The service was outstanding and it was fun to watch the food get prepared. There is seating on stools at the counter along with booths and some tables outside.

Blackbird Bakery is a cozy, multi-level bakery and cafe with two separate locations. BlackBird On The Fly offers a convenient drive-thru for grabbing coffee, while the primary location on State Street is perfect for meeting friends or working on your laptop over a cup of hot coffee. The downtown Bristol restaurant in Virginia offers homemade doughnuts, specialty coffees, and emphasizes quality as their top priority.
We LOVE this place! We come to.visit family here in Bristol, but this is a close second for a reason to come to Bristol! The pastries are absolutely perfect and every time I come I end up with way more than I need. My husband always gets the donuts- specifically the raspberry or lemon filled ones, and I always order the cinnamon roll. In addition we usually try at least one or two other items. Highly recommend!

In Bristol passing through for a hike day. Started my morning here. Great, fast, friendly service even when it was busy! They hand delivered my order outside where I sat at the picnic tables. So many delicious desserts and my favorite was the sausage, egg, and cheese hot sandwich.

Blackbird Bakery in Bristol is an outstanding spot for anyone who enjoys fresh, flavorful pastries. From the moment you walk in, the warm and lively atmosphere makes you feel right at home. The indoor seating is comfortable and inviting, creating the perfect place to sit back and enjoy something sweet. The pastry selection is incredible, offering just about every type of treat you can imagine. From doughnuts to custom creations, each item is beautifully made and full of flavor. Everything tastes fresh and prepared with care. Service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff who made the experience even better. The only issue worth mentioning is the location. The traffic flow around the bakery can be tricky, making it a bit of a hit or miss situation when trying to get in or out. Even with that, Blackbird Bakery easily ranks among Bristol’s best places to relax and indulge. Food: ★★★★★ Service: ★★★★★ Atmosphere: ★★★★★ Location: ★★☆☆☆

What a great spot to stop before continuing our trip, beautiful environment and lot of sweet choices. Don’t get overwhelmed by the options, the Greek and Bacon quiche are really good savory choices. But my favorite was the Dream Cake, I tried the pumpkin flavor, it was great!

If you are ever in Bristol, this is a must! On my way through Bristol, I always have to stop at this bakery. My favorite bakery! The donuts are so delicious. My fave is the white cream filled donut. It never disappoints. So fresh and full of delicious sweet cream. Plan on gaining a few pounds just walking in the place. 😂 The atmosphere reminds me of a vintage coffee shop that you would see in a big city. Love this place. It is a good thing that I don’t live in Bristol or I would be in trouble.

Such a warm and cozy place. The people are truly friendly and make you feel at home. There donuts and other yummy treats are some of the best we have ever had. They are worth the trip back up to Bristol to just there donuts alone, and I have not even got started on how amazing there coffees are!

Absolutely love this place. I made the mistake last year of checking it out after the smaller one didn't have what I was looking for. They gave me address and I've been visiting the main store since. There's not much I've tried that I don't care for other than the donuts but I'm picky when it comes to them. The crepe is absolutely amazing. They have several choices for filling as well as fruit. If you haven't been in your in the neighborhood I suggest giving it a try. The breads and all the treats are so good and the service is well above average. I mean even then the lines out the door and around the block the employees always have smiles on their faces. I'm pictures I have bird bites. I got the pepperoni and cheese ones, there's also a crepe a few slices of dream cake and lol a donut. (First time trying this donut can't tell you how it is haven't eaten yet but it's a cake donut)

Wow it's all I can say! All of the desserts looked top-notch. Sorry I don't have any pictures to post I should have taking pictures of the strawberry cake 🎂 before I ate it.

Great early dinner in Bristol, VA with fabulous server Madeline. Beautiful indoor and outdoor seating, huge bar with extensive choice of cocktails. We shared “first date” calamari, Szechuan beef stir fry for my husband, grilled salmon, cheese grits and asparagus for me. Desserts were lava cake and ice cream, and turtle cheesecake. 5 stars, for food and ambiance, but mostly because of Madeline’s attention, suggestions, and kindness. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’ve traveled much of the world, and never have I had such a delicious cheeseburger as the one I had Friday night at 620 State restaurant! It was cooked to perfection (medium rare as requested), was super juicy, and the seasonings made it taste amazing! I skipped the bacon, but the flavor was definitely still there! The server was also prompt, friendly, and attentive!

Today was my first time eating at 620 State even though I have eaten at several other of the Stir Fry Group restaurants numerous times, so I had high expectations and I was not disappointed. I had the blackened salmon with mashed potatoes. It was delicious. The salmon was cooked perfectly medium and the pico and avocado which topped the salmon was fresh and tasty. Service was excellent and my glass never got empty. It was a flawless dining experience.

Nestled at the top of Volunteer Parkway in Bristol, Cootie Brown's is a delightful blend of nostalgia and vibrant beach vibes that transports you straight to a mini vacation. This eclectic eatery boasts an eye-catching decor that’s sure to charm visitors of all ages, making it a perfect spot for families and friends alike. The menu is impressively diverse, featuring everything from mouthwatering pizzas and burgers to flavorful tamales and BBQ specialties.
We were on our way back to Virginia from Gatlinburg Tennessee and decided to make a pit stop for food. Saw the name Cootie brown on the GPS. My wife asked, isn't that the same place we saw on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives? I said yes! So with that we had to check it out. And I am so glad we did! The atmosphere was inviting and clean. Our waitress was excellent! But the food! The food was phenomenal! We didn't eat a lot. But what we did eat we thoroughly enjoyed! The Jerk Chicken was juicy and seasoned just right. Everything was fresh and hot. And the desert was addictive. I would definitely recommend making a stop by this place if you're ever in the area. You won't be disappointed.

Went for lunch with very few customers. Waited an unusually long time for a grinder and sandwich, at least 15 but probably 20 minutes. The waitress was great but she can only bring what’s put out by the kitchen. While the food was good nothing wowed us. The prices were fair, not cheap or expensive. The restaurant is nicely decorated. We drive past Bristol monthly and had been wanting to try this place for a while, glad we did.

Ordered dinner while in town for a conference. I used DoorDash and it arrived sooner than expected which was great because I was starving! What I recieved was all amazing, the greek chicken, sweet potatoes and black beans. I was disappointed I didn't get the gluten free key lime pie I ordered and not sure if it was an issue on the resturants end or with the DoorDasher. DoorDash is offering me a refund for it since it was missing. Other than that, I'd definitely eat here again and hope to try the pie one day because I've heard so many good reviews on it.

Vivians Table is a restaurant that offers street-level dining for both friends and family to enjoy. If you're in the mood for Southern cuisine, this is the place to go! The menu features a variety of dishes inspired by the Appalachian region with unique twists. You must try their cornbread appetizer, grilled rainbow trout as your main course, and finish off with their delicious key lime pie topped with lime coulis.
The service is excellent. Our waitress Krista was friendly and helpful. The manager came out to check on us. The dining room is beautiful. They have a very good wine selection. The Mediterranean Salmon over risotto was very good. The gnocchi dish was beautifully presented. Unfortunately it was cold but the staff made up for it. We enjoyed the cheesecake also.

Delicious food with some unique twists! We love to try shrimp and grits wherever we go and these were at the top of my list! Creamy grits and fresh shrimp...yum!

Breakfast: Omelet was outstanding! Potatoes perfect! Coffee ok. Dinner: trout was spectacular and seasoned without being overwhelming, Filet perfectly done. The staff at Vivien’s were wonderful and so kind! One thing I would add; with the average cost per menu item, I would expect dinners to be served with a small salad before the main course. Something to consider.

I've been here twice so far for breakfast, and each time, all aspects have been on point. Great and attentive service and very fresh and delicious food. The first time, I went in for the basic Bristol Starter (eggs, meat toast, etc) but was instead talked into a limited pastrami hash they had made, and it was a wonderful recommendation. The next time, I did try the basics, and they were also fantastic. You'll pay a little for atmosphere and quality, but trust me, it's worth it.

A lovely establishment with a friendly and helpful staff. My family and I were taking a long road trip and stopped here for dinner. The servers made us feel very welcome and treated my children excellently, even though this is clearly a higher class establishment. The portions were large and the food is clearly quality. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 on the food is that it may be just a little too high class for some people. The dishes are complex and that may be a little bit too much for some people, like me.

Jacob D — Google review
My wife and I recently visited J Frank after hearing great things and having it on our list for a while. We made the short trip to Bristol with high expectations, and while there were certainly highlights, the overall experience was a bit underwhelming. We started with the trout dip, which was delicious and easily the standout dish of the evening for me. The cocktails were decent—not exceptional, but still enjoyable. For my entrée, I ordered the 14 oz. New York strip, which came with a Caesar salad and duck fat roasted potatoes. Unfortunately, the Caesar salad was surprisingly basic, lacking the depth of flavor I typically expect from a fine dining establishment. The steak itself was overcooked and didn’t carry the richness or seasoning I had hoped for. On a more positive note, the potatoes were excellent—crispy, flavorful, and well-prepared. My wife chose the sirloin and crab cake entrée with creamed corn. Her sirloin was cooked beautifully and packed with flavor—she considered it the highlight of her meal. However, the creamed corn had an overpowering nutmeg flavor that didn’t quite work for her palate. For dessert, I ordered the crème brûlée. It was good, though at a $10 price point, it didn’t quite stand out in the way we hoped. Overall, our experience was good but fell short of the elevated expectations we had going in. That said, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was charming and well-executed. While it may not become a regular spot for us, we wouldn’t rule out giving J Frank another try in the future.

The restaurant used to be one of the top restaurants in the Bristol Tennessee area but has morphed into a sad excuse for a culinary escape. Yes, we know food costs have risen and covid interrupted the supply chain. However, the level of quality should not diminish. The previous two times we came here the rack of lamb was served almost raw. The sauce placed on the lamb was atrocious. So we decided to give it one more chance. My wife ordered the oyster rockefellers, which were dry, but more importantly burnt. They were sent back. The side salad was good. She had the salmon special, stuffed with crab which she enjoyed. The salmon was perfectly cooked and moist. I had the panko crusted rainbow trout with the butter sauce and capers on the side. My side dish was potatoes cooked in duck fat which was also good. The rainbow trout was prepared correctly, but the sauce lacked a little consistency in terms of thickness and flavor. Over the last two years, the menu has shrunk down in terms of the number of appetizers and main dishes. In other words, what used to be something of an event going to J Frank, is no longer special.

It was a bit pricey .... However, the food was good. I had burnt ends and rib platter w/fried corn in butter brown sugar rub and collard greens. I will say the ribs and the collards were by far the best on the platter. Environment's got a cool blues type of vibe with blues music in the background playing and a lot of different paraphernalia as you'll see by the pictures. If you're ever in Bristol I would definitely recommend stopping in. The food and the experience are well worth it. Thanks for such friendly service and good food!

We stopped in on a whim after hearing the live music walking by and had a wonderful time. The music (Jason Lloyd & Mike) was great, the staff friendly, and the barbeque was excellent.

Overall terrible experience. Hell, my infants bath water is warmer than the food we were served…. We had to ask for a highchair 3 times, my husband ended up going outside to find one while the girl at the counter went back and forth between the front counter and the kitchen talking with coworkers. I overheard the conversation between the waitress and cook about the cheese on my burger. “What is that cheese? Wait no… leave it like that! *the girl laughs* ” spent $82 and couldn’t even eat the majority of the food. First time at Delta Blues and it also be our last.

This may be unpopular opinion but the BBQ was mids at best. We shared the 5 meat platter. Sausage was good. Brisket, Burnt ends, and pulled chicken was all mediocre. Ribs were not good. Beans weren't good. Mac n Cheese. 3 stars. Was cold in middle. ( not worth the up charge, especially when " the fryers are down " and options for sides were limited. And 2 small pieces of toast? I hope this is not really " the best bbq in town " And the fountain soda was all kind of flat. Definitely order something in a can.

But the collards yall, the collards were out of this world! Service was at the counter with a smile and I'll also say the Mac and cheese was 🔝 as well!

wish we lived in Bristol for this bbq. we stopped for gas and lunch driving home from Nashville...delta blues was a premium choice. ordered a 2 meat combo w 2 sides to share, sausage & brisket w baked beans& slaw- everything was outstanding ( that seldomly happens especially w BBQ!) we grabbed a Togo box ultimately eating on the back patio. the interior was blues music decor & atmosphere & inviting. if only we could live close by!!!

Excellent BBQ with good atmosphere and vibe along with pretty decent prices. They have really unique specials like on Cajun Tuesday you can get Cajun shrimp, oysters, and even alligator. The staff was super friendly. They could use more dessert options but otherwise this place is great! You should have no qualms coming here!

Bar & grill
Stateline Bar & Grille is a lively establishment that has been serving the Bristol community for nearly two decades. They offer a variety of delicious food, such as barbeque, burgers, and other classic pub dishes. In addition to their tasty menu options, they also provide entertainment in the form of live bands and karaoke. With multiple TVs available, patrons can enjoy watching sports games while enjoying their meals.
We were passing through Bristol and learned our favorite restaurant was no longer in business. Asked a local for recommendations, and he said Stateline had a good burger. They were right ! We were served promptly, and our server was very pleasant. Ordered the Black&Blu and the Cheddar&Bacon. They come with house made chips, but one order was upped to fries. The burgers were really good, moist, flavorful. and nicely dressed. The fries were hot and nicely salted. I'd gladly go back.

This was our 1st time there and we just happened to be near by at the escape and wanted dinner after. When we entered there was a couple there starting to play live music which was nice and a change of pace. The food was excellent. I will say they seem way understaffed as far as waitresses go. It was a full house with only 3 waitresses that I seen the whole time. They were doing their best but with so many people it was hard to keep up. We would definitely give it another go next time we visit. It's worth a chance just for the food and entertainment.

Trying to enjoy my yummy dinner with extremely LOUD karaoke SUCKS! Won't be back on Thursday or any night they offer it unless they turn it down! 👎🏼 Food is good. I bumped them up on atmosphere because I asked the waiter to turn it down a hair and they did right away, it sounds a lot better now. food is still delicious, service is really good. *** in response to your reply, I said the food was delicious, so it's not that you didn't make me happy, although I might suggest you hold off on karaoke until 8:00 p.m. or later. Maybe allow people a chance to eat their dinner in a pleasant atmosphere, because sorry but the truth is, not everybody has a million dollar voice. OR you could turn it down just a hair, as it was very loud and I listen to my music loud, so it was obnoxiously loud, my dinner date does not like loud noise and it was even worse for him, so if you truly care about what your customers think, you will appreciate my honest feedback, and that I have stated four times now, your food is delicious. It's just too bad from your response I can't tell if you're being facetious or sincere. So not sure I will return. There's a lot of good places to eat in Bristol, that's for sure. 🤘🏼😉

Stopped here to get some Fried Green Tomatoes and a Black & Bleu burger with fries. The Fried Green Tomatoes came with Pimento Cheese Spread and I'm not totally convinced they went well together. The Black & Bleu burger sorta just fell apart, and I had to resort to using utensils to continue eating. Not a big deal, just not what I was looking for. It was pretty slow in there, and there was a live sports podscast going on. A family of 8 celebrated their toddler's birthday, and about 4 of some friends of the waitress came in for wings. Nice atmosphere with a view of State Street. I'll go back and try something else, but for me it's not anything I'll be craving.

Visited Stateline Grill for the first time in a long time and it was quite good. For an appetizer, we had the fried pickle chips and they really hit the spot. The burger was very good and the veggie Quesadilla was extremely tasty and surprisingly filling. Service was very good and the staff were attentive and friendly. Please give me a thumbs up if this helped you.

Since its establishment in 2017, Bloom has become a popular destination for both locals and visitors. This trendy café has transformed into a comprehensive brunch and dinner venue, attracting a large number of customers who are willing to wait in long queues. The food and drinks offered here are highly regarded, making the wait worthwhile. It is an ideal place to start your day with their Brunch Board, which resembles a breakfast charcuterie board.
The coolest atmosphere around! Incredible food and service. Gotta be the best experience my family and I have had while dining in Bristol! Try everything, try it all! Very very good food! I had the chicken and waffle!

Wow! I live no where near here but I’d still say this is my new favorite restaurant. The interior decor and music were totally my style for a brunch place. (I gathered inspiration for my therapy office actually! lol) Our server Kristen was great. She helped me make decisions on what to get with a vegan diet and promptly answered any questions I had. And the for purpose of offering all the praise I can (not that I was looking for any of the qualities, but I’d love for her and management to see just how impressed I was!): she had great positive energy, described the specials with sufficient details, was efficient, attentive, personable, friendly, well groomed… all the great traits of a server that make an experience 👌🏻👌🏻 This is the breakfast bowl turned vegan and I actually loved it. Most times I order something like this at places it’s super greasy and not too flavorful. I don’t know how they cooked this but it was great!!! A lighter oil with a packed flavor. Delicious. My husband loved his cherry limeade cider and check out this presentation of the ginger fizz.

Amazing atmosphere and dining experience. Hostess was very welcoming. Waitress was very kind and attentive. My guest and I tried the beet salad and the veggie panini and both were excellent. They offer breakfast and lunch options along with a variety of drinks and dessert options. There is a bar area if you would like to seat yourself there. If there is no parking on the street there is a side parking lot that is free specifically for the restaurant.

We went for brunch on Saturday. The food was good. I tried to order a breakfast bowl with grilled chicken as a protein but was told I couldn't do that. So I ended up getting a garden salad, adding grilled chicken as a protein. I'm not sure why I could get grilled chicken with my salad but not on the breakfast bowl.

** Additional update: New location is beautiful and good is even a step up if possible!! YUM! Excellent service and the food quality is so good!! I had the biscuit and gravy and I "hooked it up" (according to menu) w chicken and an over medium egg. Crazy good! My friend had an excellent omelette and cheesy grits that were the lightest I've ever had. Their latte is amazing too. I cannot wait to go for dinner! 🤞 Wonderful quality! The quiche and all salad is fresh and fast. Cuban coffee is to die for! We had the egg sandwich w goat cheese this time and it was perfect. Updated: Visited the new, expanded location just across the street from their old location. Wonderful service and quality!! Can't wait to try dinner service. We had a taste of the mini biscuits and jelly from the chef. Then my husband got the burger which was great! Loaded w cheese and bacon and an egg on a bakery bun. I got the Lettuce wraps with pork belly and collard kimchi. Yum! Wish they gave a bigger serving of the kimchi! Highly recommend.

The food is delicious, the coffee is wonderful, the atmosphere in their new space is refreshing, and the employees are so nice. I am so proud of the owner Em, her brother Josh, and the entire team for creating such a beautiful restaurant in the heart of our downtown. I have always tried to visit Bloom at least once a month since they planted roots in 2017, and it has been rewarding to see it blossom into something so amazing. We love Bloom! (P.S. Get the fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese if they’re on the menu when you go!)

A fun little spot in the middle of small town Bristol, VA. We came from out of town for a wedding and was looking for a brunch spot, and this was it. They have a lot of great food, and perfect for anyone looking for gluten free options, hard to find in a small town! Their menu was labeled and servers double checked when I had questions. So good we even went back a second day. They were out of the gluten free bread, so substituted with Cauliflower Naan, really good as well! All of their desserts are gluten free too!

Bristol Gardens & Grill stands out among other local restaurants in Bristol due to its farm-to-table approach and emphasis on using locally grown vegetables and herbs from their greenhouse. The menu features wood-smoked pork, beef, and chicken sourced from nearby farms, along with fresh sides like coleslaw, green beans, and smoked mac-n-cheese. The restaurant offers homemade BBQ sauces, garden dressings, and dry rub seasonings for sale as well.
You really have to want good BarBQ to fine this place, but it's worth the trip off the Highway. Matt, the owner is a great pit master making and growing most of his products on site and buying local to give you this unbelievable BBQ . He makes his sauces, which you can buy on site . He also makes hot sauce to fit any taste . This is a family own restaurant, and all the family helps. The one thing a business can't fine on YouTube is passion in what they do, and you can tell this family is passionate at giving you their love on a plate. Great job, Matt

A Bristol MUST! Hands down the best food. What an incredible and unique experience. Owner was super friendly, the guy running the Smoker greeted us as we walked from the parking lot. Menu was incredible, we got one chicken and one brisket taco, a Cuban sandwich and a side of Mac n cheese. He told us to head to the greenhouse and we weren’t really expecting an actual greenhouse. It was heated, super cool decor and had a big long row of tables. Then the food came WOW!!!! First of all the Mac n cheese is unlike anything I’ve ever had. The tastiest! The Cuban was incredible and mouth watering. Tacos were so yummy and fresh. Everything was made fresh to order. From now on this is the only place we’re going to eat at when we visit the area.

Bistro on 6th, located in downtown Bristol, offers a unique brunch experience with delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere. The small but nicely appointed restaurant serves up amazing dishes like fried green tomatoes, pasta salad, baked mac & cheese, bistro burger, shrimp and grits, and Portobello mushroom burger. The portions are generous and the flavors are outstanding. The staff is friendly and provides excellent service to ensure a pleasant dining experience.
We stopped here for lunch on our way to Knoxville, and we are so glad we did. Everything was delicious, reasonably priced and our waitress was so nice. If we lived in Bristol, we would be regular customers. P.S. Wish we also had a picture of our dessert - brownie with soft ice-cream.

First time diner at the Bistro on 6th. The overall vibe was kinda cool and laid back, and our server, Sophie, was friendly and welcoming. The food was hit and miss. I had the champagne pork (hit), which was quite tasty, and the presentation was nice. However, my date's dish, the Bistro Burger (miss), was not what you would expect at a restaurant that presents themselves as an upscale bistro. The meat was lackluster, the toppings were ok (pickled red onions were a nice touch), and the bun, while light and airy (clearly not commercially produced), quickly became mushy and flat due to the juices from the ingredients. The fries were nicely done, crispy and hot with the just right amount of seasoning. His soup, the tomato bisque, had an outstanding flavor, but could have been smoother (for a bisque, it was too chunky). The impression we walked away with was that the person in the kitchen is more of a cook than a chef. While nothing wrong with that, it certainly did not support the upscale bistro facade. All in all, I would recommend going there for the entrees, as there is a nice selection to choose from, rather than the $17 burger.

This place has a very quaint appearance. The food was great. The staff are very friendly and super efficient. The pickle board appetizer was awesome. But wouldn't pair it with the shrimp and grits. The saltiness of the pickles are a bit much when combined with the salty Creole. AGAIN. Both are great. Just not together. Only negative was the bourbon prices. We do look forward to a return visit. Samarah, one of our servers, was awesome.

Had a nice meal before a show at the Paramount nearby. We started with the blood orange old fashioned and they were good, not sure $16 good, but good. The pickle plate was really good. My wife has shrimp and grits and it was good. I had the steamed mussels, and while they were good, they were covered in tomatoes, which there was no mention of on the menu, the Old Bay version mentioned tomatoes, so you can imagine my surprise when the other one had them. We were able to move them to my wife’s plate. We had one other issue they solved quickly. In general, a good place, good service and good food, just a couple of easily fixable issues.

Union 41 in Bristol, Va offers a unique dining experience with a Caribbean twist. The brunch menu boasts delectable appetizers like Crab Beignets and Jerk Chicken Birria Tacos. The restaurant's distinctive flair is evident in dishes such as duck lasagna, prime rib, fish n grits, and jerk chicken. With outstanding service and sumptuous offerings under Chef T's mastery, Union 41 is a must-visit for an exceptional dining experience.
We came to Bristol to try another restaurant but ended up leaving because of really bad customer service. We hopped on over to Union 41 to try their brunch and so glad we did! As soon as we walked in the door the staff were all warm and welcoming! We loved sitting at the bar and watching them all work together to make each plate an experience. We will definitely be back to try dinner service soon!!

Went for brunch and had the best experience. I ordered one of the best espresso martinis that I’ve ever had! It was so smooth and creamy I loved the added cocoa on top. The muffins were so good. I had the usual. It seems very simple but everything was great. I will definitely be back! The only downside is that it can get a little smoky in there since it’s an open kitchen.

Immediately you know it’s going to be delicious when the chef is cooking in front of you. Seasonal menu of small, tapas-style plates to share, as well as larger “dinner” sized portions. We got the cornbread to start and split a large platter of jerk chicken and side of the Parmesan grit fries, and it fed 2 adults just fine. Even for a Saturday night, it wasn’t noisy, which made the ambiance ideal for a date night. Our server was attentive but didn’t awkwardly hover. Can’t wait to go back for the next seasonal options!

Phenomenal experience with my family (party of 5) on a Saturday at 6:30 pm. Chef T immediately spoke with us, and the great service began. The menu was different, which we loved as there was something for everyone. The oysters Rockefeller and cornbread appetizers were great. The cocktails were really tasty, and we recommend trying the Adam and Eve. For entrees, we enjoyed a selection of the duck lasagna, prime rib, fish n grits, and jerk chicken. All had great flavor and were prepared perfectly! Can't get over how friendly and interactive of an experience we had. Chef T checked back on us several times, sharing knowledge, stories, and smiles. The staff were attentive and location easily accessible. If you get a chance, go check them out!!

We were greeted as soon as we walked through the door. We had a reservation, so there was not a wait. This being our first time dining here, we ordered more than we could eat. The food was absolutely delicious! We travel to Jamaica regularly and know what to expect...the Jerk chicken tacos were actually better at Union 41 than in Jamaica! Please keep the Sunday Supper wontons as a regular item on the menu. Chef T thanked us for visiting her restaurant, and we had a brief conversation. We will definitely return and become regulars. Food that good and a Chef that's very personable to her guests definitely deserves 5 stars. -Brian and Paula

What a happy serendipitous occasion! Our dinner plans fell through and we chose this place because of the close proximity to the Country Music Museum. We had a show there and so we rushed in to eat beforehand, not realizing the magnitude of that fateful decision! Accepting a comfy seat at the "bar", imagine my delight to see Chef T working away! I had the most joyful occasion to eat a heavenly brunch prepared by her in Roanoke once and I never forgot it. I couldn't wait to order. We had crab beignets first - so delicately crispy and divine. I chose the pigx3 and that pork changed my life. It was fried on the outside, which gave it the perfect light crunch but the meat was incredibly moist (I said it) and tender. The cornbread stuffed squash was yummy and the soup beans were simply perfect. One friend chose the blackened fish, the whole fish and nothing but the fish, and one chose the tacos. Both were fabulous. I've never seen fish that flaked off the bone and melted in your mouth like that crispy little guy! We didn't save room for dessert but we did it anyway. Banana pudding was misleading because of the plantains... Did it matter? Absolutely not - only to make it that much more scrumptious. The rum cake we ate after our show and it was still delicious. (I was afraid to try the cereal milk ice cream.) Everything was so much better than we hoped. At one point I expressed my undying love for chef T, purely on a culinary level, mind you. I loved the service here as well. Everyone working behind the "bar" and our waitress seemed genuinely happy to be there. They all go out of their way to give you a great experience. We appreciated their sensitivity to our time schedule and how friendly everyone was. We can't wait to go again! Thank you so much, Chef T and everyone working!

Southern Craft BBQ in Bristol is a renowned barbecue eatery, hailed as the top choice for BBQ in the Tri-Cities region. Their menu revolves around smoked meats such as beef brisket, salmon with a bourbon glaze, and chicken tacos. It's a popular spot for families, offering a special kids menu comprising options like pulled pork sandwiches, chicken tenders or grilled chicken, mac & cheese, and cheeseburgers served with sides, drinks, and sweet treats.
Do yourself a favor and treat you and yours to the best barbecue in Bristol. It appeared to be a renovated feed mill but so many neat things to see while just walking in and even when you're sitting down. Nice clean restroom with full doors and the restaurant was very clean and played good music. Olivia was an absolute treat and took wonderful care of us. The kids meals are $6 for a pulled pork sandwich, a side, drink, and a cookie. It was a steal as neither one of my kids could finish their sandwich. The pulled pork tater tots were amazing for an appetizer. The sweat tea is A+ and the ribs were fall off the bone. Pork, brisket, and ribs were great.....as were the sides, mac and cheese, fries, house taters, baked beans, and coleslaw. You literally can't go wrong here. I can't imagine anywhere else in the area beating this place in best BBQ. A must see. We WILL be back! ❤️

My husband, friends, and I had a fantastic morning at Southern Craft! We snagged a table outside on the patio, and it was the perfect way to start the day. The manager was super friendly and knowledgeable, sharing guest favorites and helping us navigate the menu. *The Food:* - I devoured the banana pudding French toast - it was love at first bite! 🍞️ The real banana slices, banana pudding, and nilla wafer crumbs were a match made in heaven. - My husband's hog and home fries were a highlight, with candied bacon, regular bacon, and smoked pork belly. The fire apple aioli on the side added a nice kick! 🔥 - The house-baked blackberry muffin was a showstopper - massive, moist, and topped with cream, honey butter, and blackberry jam. We all fought over the last bites! 🥧 *The Service:* - Our server was top-notch - attentive, friendly, and made sure our drinks were always full. *The Verdict:* We'll definitely be back for more of Southern Craft's delicious breakfast dishes! If you're a fan of creative, mouth-watering food and great service, add this spot to your list. Can't wait to come back!

As a family that smokes our own food regularly, my hopes weren’t high for this place. We have been disappointed more than once with BBQ spots … well we are SOOOO glad we gave it a shot. We got the “Butchers Block”. It comes with all the meats and four large sides. We got the potato salad, pepper jack grits, fried okra, macaroni and cheese.. and added tots. Let me tell you, that was an IMMENSE amount of food. We had three adults and two kids… and left with almost as much as we ate. I think you could easily share this amongst two families with ease. Everything was delicious. My favorites were the burnt ends, pulled pork, and pepper jack grits. We will 100% be back. Highly recommend.

During my stay at the Sessions Hotel, the enticing aroma of the smoking meats drew me to the restaurant for dinner one evening. I decided to sit at the bar, where the bartender was exceptionally helpful and friendly. The menu was filled with an array of intriguing and appetizing options, making it difficult to choose. Relying on the bartender's recommendations turned out to be a fantastic decision, as her suggestions were spot on. I wanted to sample a variety of their meats, and upon her recommendation, I ordered the three-meat platter which included wings, sausage, and brisket, accompanied by three sides: cole slaw, tomato & cucumber salad, and baked beans. The wings were outstanding—perfectly smoked and lightly fried for a crisp finish, with a flavorful rub. The spicy wing sauce, which I believe had a hint of apple, added a delightful sweetness that balanced the heat. The brisket had a wonderful bark and was both flavorful and moist. Although I am not fond of smokehouses that serve "hot dog" style sausages, I found the sausage here to be quite tasty. The sides were equally impressive. The salad was packed with fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, and just the right amount of onion. The baked beans were exceptional, especially when enhanced with their Fire Water hot BBQ sauce. The cole slaw was also delicious, fitting perfectly with the BBQ theme. Additionally, I enjoyed sampling their various sauces, including the Carolina vinegar style, which I usually don't favor but found quite appealing here. Overall, it was an excellent meal, and I would definitely return.

If you’re looking for a place that serves up comfort, history, and great food all in one, Tootie’s is the real deal. This local gem has been around since 1945, and it’s easy to see why—it’s the kind of place that keeps people coming back for generations. We’re big fans of their breakfast offerings—always hearty, delicious, and served with that small-town charm you just don’t find everywhere. Their burgers and hot dogs are classics too—simple, flavorful, and done right. It’s the kind of food that feels both familiar and special at the same time. There’s something comforting about a place that’s stood the test of time, and Tootie’s has done just that with good food, friendly faces, and a down-home atmosphere. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this is a must-visit spot for anyone who appreciates honest cooking done with care. Highly recommended for casual breakfasts, laid-back lunches, or a nostalgic bite that brings you back. Tootie's is a true local treasure.

My wife and I have gone out of our way to visit Tootie's twice over the he past year while vacationing in the area. We had dinner there once and most recently went for ice cream. My wife enjoyed a rootbeer float and I loved the Black Cherry Ice Cream. Great prices at a cute local spot. I highly recommend it!

Delicious! Reasonably priced. I got the deviled eggs and salmon tacos, and my wife got the Cobb salad. They had live music outside. The band, From the Edge, was excellent. The also make awesome non alcoholic drinks if you are into that.

The food was amazing! We had the Cobb salad, chicken sandwich (a must-have), great fries, and salmon tacos. We liked it so much we came back the next day for happy hour and tried the deviled eggs, hummus, and nachos. The server was a bit slow, and we didn’t care for the hummus, but overall it was a great experience with good drinks and a nice view.

Came up to the bar shortly before closing in hopes to get dinner to go. We were informed that the kitchen was closed and we asked for recommendations of nearby places. During this time they made contact with the kitchen who said they would still be able to get our food prepared for us. While we waited we enjoyed the views from the roof on a nice relaxing evening. There was live music shortly before we arrived so being earlier would make for a more lively experience as well. Service was great and all the staff we dealt with was pleasant.

The employees at this bar are all super friendly! And they host live music all the time. It's a good spot to go up and relax. Amazing views, nearly a full 360 of Bristol & the area. Plus, the view of the Appalachias in the distance is to die for.

I wanted to find somewhere nice and local for our anniversary. I told my wife to wear a beautiful dress as I had a surprise date for her. We arrived and were told our table would be 30-35 minutes and to feel free to get drinks from the bar. After a couple of drinks each and 40 minutes later we received a text that our table was ready. We approached the hostess who told us the kitchen decided to close early and that we wouldn’t be receiving a table or served any food. Both of us being too hungry to endure another wait line decided to just go through the Dairy Queen drive through on our way back home. So much for a special anniversary date.

The fish they served in the salmon was bad. My friend is pregnant, and you can kill someone with bad fish. You shouldn’t serve bad fish, period, but especially not to a pregnant woman. We ordered something else in replacement and it took another 20+ minutes for an UPDATE on the new food’s expected arrival. We ended up leaving and half our party not even getting to eat because of how long it took, and the bill was STILL $34+ for one entree and one appetizer-each. The hummus was lacking flavor with inadequate bread to dip ratio. The burger was WAY overcooked and cut in half and put on its side with the toppings next to it?? Like? Why would you serve a burger like that? The corner of the rooftop we were seated in just randomly didn’t have any lights over it so it was super dark. Our waitress was not very attentive, even after we’d had to send food back. We had to ask for a refill on waters. Just.. don’t come here. They made it look really cute and atmospheric online, but honestly it’s just over priced, bad service, and they send the food in what looks like dog bowls because it comes all the way from the downstairs kitchen. We legit got Taco Bell instead… If that doesn’t tell you how bad this place is, I don’t know what will.

Everything was great except for the boyfriends standing up front hugging and kissing on each other. You know do what you want on the outside but not at the front in front of everyone. This made me and quiet a few more feel uncomfortable. The bowls are spectacular but I don't approve of the affection going on while customers were in the store. Everyone was super nice, i felt sorry for the ladies sitting being the gentleman where this was taking place. WOW! their faces were speechless.

This smoothie shop has an adorable setup with a lot of charm. I stopped in hoping for a cold brew, but they were out of that and no recommendations were offered outside of selecting something from the fridge. I grabbed a glass bottled Coke from the fridge, but there was no opener available. When I asked to take a 360 photo, the employee said yes but seemed disengaged. So I took a photo and left with no beverage. Unsure if it was a bad day for the employee or it is just a shop primarily caters to regulars who already know the menu.

If you're on the lookout for a delightful dining experience that combines American comfort food with a Texas twist, look no further than Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen. This family-friendly chain is perfect for those traveling with kids, as they offer healthy options beyond the usual pizza and fried fare. During my recent visit, I was greeted by friendly staff who made us feel right at home. Our server, Ryan, was attentive and brought a fun energy to our meal.
We got seated as soon as we walked in and our server was awesome. The croissants were so delicious and we had a coupon for free chips and salsa.

Eat here if you like good food and bad service. Never in my life have I spent almost 3 hours in a restaurant due to a server being so inattentive. Server came and got our drinks orders, and after about 10 minutes we got our drinks. Came back to take our order. Food took awhile but that isn’t the servers fault and it’s also lunch hour on a Sunday. Got our food, salads never came. Server said she’d be back with the salads. The salads came after we were done eating. Took another 10 minutes to get boxes. Our party was back in a corner where I could only visible our sever with one other table. There was a table right behind us that was dirty the majority of our visit. As someone who works in a corporate chain restaurant, this type of service would absolutely not be acceptable. To add the cherry on top of the cake: our server decided to add herself a $20 credit card tip when she was given $27 in cash. Had to chase her down to give her our payment in the first place so maybe she felt she deserved an extra $20 for all her sought after effort. Cheddars, do better.

Went there tonight with my wife and had a small mishap I'd rather not say because the service was great and the food was on point. It was funny almost exactly when the mishap happened the manager walked up and asked us how was everything and we hated saying anything but I think he could read my face lol so I said something. Again because I don't want anyone thinking it was something horrible because that's not it. It's a small thing that just happened because in a kitchen things happen. This said the manager took all the food off my bill and that's really not what I expected him to do at all! But I really appreciate that and I hope nobody was in trouble because of it!!! Fantastic manager and team! Very professional and I will be back soon! Thanks again from Scott and Rebecca!!

Our first visit to the new location was wonderful. Very few places offer a full half chicken and Eatz offers several different iterations of this. The fried chicken was really juicy and flavorful. My wife had the open face roast beef. It was delicious as well. Fast, friendly service and we love the decor.

We visited Eatz for the first time the other night and we arrived about an hour before closing. The service was alright, but not exceptional. There were others that received their drinks before we did that came in after us. The food is wonderful though! I have zero complaints about that! The catfish is the biggest fillet I’ve ever seen! The cornbread is sweet (just like it should be) sweet tea is great, the bbq sandwich was huge and one of the best in this area! The only thing that disappointed us was they had ribs Thursday, Friday’s and Saturdays and we weren’t told about that :/ we definitely would have tried the ribs if we would have known they had them! But other than that, everything was superb! We will be back!

My party of 6 enjoyed our time here. The service was excellent and the food came out quick and fresh. One of my guests ordered a hamburger on a gluten free bun and it came out with a regular bun. She told the server it was wrong and the server took it back to the kitchen and they made her a new one.

We pulled in at 8:30pm on a Saturday night. Not busy at all. Should’ve been our first clue. We were seated immediately, the waitresses showed up kinda quick and took our drink and appetizer order. Our one and only drinks arrived shortly after. Another 8-10 goes by and she comes back to ask what our appetizer was. We remind her and she goes away. About another 5 minutes goes by and she takes our food order. We give her our order and she is off again. We then wait almost an hour for our food. Now this would’ve been a little understandable if they were packed. But there only 5 other tables besides ours in the whole restaurant that were occupied. My son ordered the ribs that came out pretty much burnt. My daughter had ordered her steak rare but it came out well done. When informed though they did fix it right away. In the roughly hour and twenty to an hour and a half, we never received or were offered any refills. Really the only thing worth eating there was the potato skins. It had been many years since me and my wife had eaten there because it wasn’t good the last time we had visited. We decided to try it out again in hopes that they had changed. Sadly they haven’t and we won’t be returning.

We eat at Logan’s probably a few times a year. This particular one we’ve probably been to maybe 5 times. It’s about 80 miles from our house so distance being the biggest deterrent. We were there at what should be the busy time of day and there was 6 tables in use. The food was mediocre at best. There were 6 of us all eating a different meal and we all agreed that the only good thing about the entire meal was the rolls. We’ll not be eating at this location again anytime soon.

We had a really great dinner with a bottle of wine on a random week night while passing through. My ribeye was cooked perfectly.

The burger had sweet pickles in it and I thought it was such a nice touch. The burger was Smokey and the sweetness of the pickles made it perfectly balanced. The tenders had some skinny pieces but the coating was well seasoned. The biscuits were so thick and fluffy they didn’t even need butter on it.

They were friendly though. Our drinking glasses had a crust of something on the inside and out. The silverware and plates didn't seem to have the same crust. Biscuits were hot, cornbread was cold. Chicken tenders were ok. I won't order the shrimp and grits again. Flavor was ok but the shrimp were very bland and tasted as if they were cooked separately.

I do Cracker Barrel pretty often and it’s generally speaking very consistent. Today was unfortunately not. My chicken fried chicken was half the size of normal even though were there were two pieces there are usually two pieces and they are much larger. Fish pieces were extremely small almost like nuggets or bites if you will. Everything tasted really good, it’s just the size of entrée including the sides. They were about half of what they usually are and I ordered extra so I could take it with me and pay the extra two dollars for the side upgrade. Like I said, I’m a little disappointed, but I am still pretty much a fan of Cracker Barrel and their chicken fried chicken, and their side orders rock.

Typical Cracker Barrel meal and store. Service was fantastic after a night of driving we needed fresh, hot coffee. Just after we sat down our server brought us two hot cups of Joe. Breakfast was tasty, and filling. Ironically the eggs Benedict were not poached but easily solved with over easy eggs. I did think it was great that they had Impossible Sausage as an option. The peach French toast was tasty and the Country Boy breakfast came with a lot of food.

My son and I stopped in during a long 13 hr drive. The place was not busy- only a few other tables were occupied. (Rainy Monday, Early Evening) The atmosphere was nice, inviting, quiet, clean. The order did take longer than expected- as I see in other’s comments, but not so long that we felt skipped over.. and staff came by to update on the order a couple of times, which helped. The service was great, the gentleman taking our order gave recommendations and helped work around our likes/dislikes and vegan diet to create a pizza, and a grilled hoagie, plus some drinks. (total approx $40/ reasonable) He was super helpful and spent some time with us. The food was hot, looked so good and was delicious! One of the best vegan pizzas we’ve had. We ordered the large size pizza -(huge!)had a lot ‘to go’ and as we asked for boxes, the guy offered to set us up with fresh drinks to go ( knowing we had many hrs of driving ahead of us). That was so nice!

We discovered this chain years ago and it is always great to find one in a town we are visiting or passing through. While it isn’t either a traditional NY or Chicago style; this is probably one of the best artisan pizza chains available. We enjoyed a Great White and a Pepperoni on this visit.

It's always a good meal if garlic is involved. The Holy Shiitake pizza has become the only pizza I crave. Add in an order of cheesy spinach dip and I've got all I want. Great food, great service, fun atmosphere, and reasonable prices. Mellow Mushroom is always a great place to eat. Please give me a thumbs up 👍 if this helped you. Thanks!!

No wait to be seated but service was really slow. Our waiter also disappeared on us. Pizza was overpriced and did not have any flavor. The pretzel bites were good. The chicken wings were very tiny and had barley any meat on them. The wings came only with 3 pieces of carrots and 3 pieces of celery. Would not come back here again.

One of the best pizzas in the area. The crust is wood-fired til crispy and the toppings always seem fresh. If you don’t mind a wait, stop in for the huge beer list and and spicy beer cheese! Great service and atmosphere. If you want more than one pizza, go halfsies!

Very clean, at first we were very impressed, great service, very attentive and super quick with breadsticks and salads. This is where the glitter ends no longer all sparkly. My fettuccine alfredo was brought out so quick and the soups, I had a little person in my head saying that was too quick, no way my food is ready I ordered like 5 mins ago. The waitress brought the wrong soup on accident and when she swapped it out she mentioned all the food was already made on the line all she had to was grab it. Now this is where it gets interesting. Back story I had just fasted for 35 hours for a surgery and I was so hungry I could have ate anything at this point. I knew to slow down and chew my food, but dang I was having flashbacks to 1999 when Olive Garden was a once a week thing for all the ladies in the family while the kids were in school, bad I know, but hey they caught on quick and learned to be sick on OG days. Sooooo, I paced and did not over eat. About an hour after we left I felt super gassy, and almost nausea like. I shook it off, when we got home five hours later, i was feeling much worse. Mind you hubby dipped his breadsticks in the Alfredo sauce as well. He woke me up saying he felt a little sick and pooped his guts all out, within 15 mins I was on the toilet and started shaking, felt the heat rise up and just like that I was puking everywhere. It was food poisoning, all the signs and symptoms were there, hubby had fasted with me that morning. Replaying what she said I think all that food was prepped and sitting out & the alfredo sauce was bad. Lesson do not eat here when they first open. Order something special. Hubby says the sweet tea was good. Overall one star for service and second one for salad ams sweet tea!

Saw a sign for Perkins off I-81 and was happy. I really enjoy Perkins. I was seated and knew what I wanted. I wait, and wait, and wait. Nobody came to serve me. After more than 10 minutes I got up, saw a server and told her I was leaving and why. She didn't know what to say or do. I get back on I-81 and decided to call and talk to manager. She was apologetic and asked me to return and she personally would take care of me. After already driving 15 minutes I was not about to waste half an hour total to return. Being off an interstate you should know and be ready for customers at all times. Where the problem occurred I don't know. But I was given a seat and no service followed . Extremely disappointed

IHOP, a beloved chain known for its extensive selection of pancakes and classic American breakfast dishes, continues to be a go-to spot for many. Recently, diners have shared their experiences ranging from quick service to delicious meals. One guest praised the attentive staff and perfectly cooked Eggs Benedict during a Sunday visit. However, some patrons noted rising prices that can feel steep for breakfast fare—like $15 omelets—which has sparked conversations about affordability in dining out today.
They let us join the tables because we're 10 in number which is a good thing. Overall good experience.

I gave this place 3-stars a couple years ago. They've come a long way! We stopped for breakfast on Sunday. We were seated quickly, waited upon promptly by Beth, and served great food. I had eggs Benedict and forgot to ask for extra hollandaise sauce (because it can be overcooked and dry), but it was perfect! We all enjoyed our food. Beth was very attentive and efficient. The icing on the cake... I used the restroom and 2 employees were at the sinks with lather up to their forearms chatting. They left with very cleansed hands! (I recently left another cafe where the waitress came out of a smelly stall, waved her hands under a dribble of cold water and wiped them on her shirt as she exited!) 5-Stars IHop... Everyone is doing a great job!

We did not get our drinks or order put in until 30 mini after we sat down. We got there at 7:15 and did get our food until 8:45, which has never happened to us at any restaurant. We didn’t get any silverware, had to get it ourselves and our appetizer came out with our meal. I got the classic with bacon and my burger was raw, I completely lost my appetite and could not even finish my onion rings. I have never had worse service from a restaurant until I came here with my family. I will never come back to an ihop.

We ate at IHOP for a late breakfast on Saturday. Food was good, as usual, but prices are ridiculous. I know inflation has made food prices skyrocket, but $15 for an omelet at IHOP is intolerable. I had the over 55 special at $9 which is still too much. We all had the food we expected at good quality with a great waitress. But $45 for 3 people to eat breakfast is over the top. Please give me a thumbs up 👍 if this helped you. Thanks!

I have been to this restaurant many times and had few problems, but recently I went in when they were somewhat busy and ordered chicken and pancakes just for the tenders to be entirely raw on the inside. The waitress was kind and made sure it was resolved in some manner, but I was kind of confused about them having to bring the food to the back of the store instead of someone in charge coming out to speak to me. It may have been due to how busy they were, but I don't know for certain. I hate to say I don't feel comfortable coming back to any IHOP after this experience. (Excuse the poor photo)

O'Charley's Restaurant & Bar is a delightful chain that specializes in American comfort food, offering a relaxed atmosphere perfect for family gatherings or casual dining. During my recent visit to Bristol, I was quickly seated and welcomed by the staff. The hot rolls and drinks arrived almost instantly, setting a positive tone for the meal ahead. Although I usually opt for prime rib, which has sadly been removed from their menu, I took my server's suggestion and tried the balsamic chicken instead.
Visited Bristol this weekend for family visit. We stopped by O’Charley’s for dinner. We were seated immediately and greeted promptly. Hot rolls and drinks were brought out within minutes. I normally order the prime rib but O’Charley’s has taken that off the menu. So from the recommendation of our server, I ordered the balsamic chicken from the new menu items. A large thin chicken breast was grilled and served with asparagus, tomatoes and cheese and then drizzled with a balsamic glaze. Chicken was moist and seasoned well. Toppings were grilled and crisp. Balsamic glaze was…well perfect! When you took a bite with all ingredients involved it was a flavor explosion in your mouth! Steamed broccoli was perfect, just needed some salt. Mashed potatoes were warm and moist with a nice flavor. Rolls were piping hot! Light and fluffy! Servers were friendly and attentive! Best O’Charley’s we have been too in a long time! Thanks for a great meal!

Years ago, while on road trips, my wife and I would love stopping at O’Charley’s for the warm, slightly sweet rolls that would melt in your mouth like cotton Candy. Those days are done and past. Very disappointed in the state of the rolls we bought while passing through Bristol. As you can see from the photo, no longer are these rolls, they are more like flattens pancakes. They stuffed 16 rolls into a bag, cramming them in. Bye bye sweet fluffy goodness. Along with forgetting to include butter and a spoon for my soup, this visit was a bit disappointing.

OMGoodness!!! J Frank's has got competition now! Brooklyn Grill & Cafe was so good in all ways! This felt very upscale, for a decent price. The flavors were delicious, the portions were huge, and I mean huge. My filet mignon was bigger than any I've ever seen and for a very reasonable price too! He got the ribeye and he was very happy with the flavor and taste as well. Everything was cooked to perfection, even the salad was delicious. The service was top notch. You can really tell, they are aiming for excellence. We had two steak dinners, with side salads, 2-Yuenglings, and a piece of homemade cheesecake to share, oh so delicious, although wasn't necessary, I'm glad we didn't pass on it. The entire bill plus tip 25%, was around $150. Very worth it for this upscale of a meal and classy atmosphere. This is the place to celebrate important events for sure. It is really rather stylish looking inside, with some fun things outside to take pictures with. Top notch A++

A great find in Bristol, which has very few decent restaurants to choose from. This place is a diamond in the rough! My first time here was also a first date and my lady friend couldn’t have chosen a better place! She had the filet and I had the ribeye and both were prepared perfectly! The service is also excellent. The only thing I would add would be white tablecloths and softer lighting, which would take the Brooklyn Grill to a true five star establishment in the heart of Bristol.

All the food was left over lunch choices, babies were dried up, mashed potatoes dried up, veggies under heat lamps too long they were dried out, meatloaf had no taste, rolls were hard they had been out so long, Mac n cheese dried up, the list goes on. Went the entire meal without refills till the very end because our waitress was talking about her weekend worth the waitress from the other side of the restaurant. While the manger was running around hitting on the waitresses, and being loud and obnoxious. I dint know what happened to Golden Corral... but they went from one of my faves with high quality foods on the buffet for reasonable prices to lousy food with poor quality at very high prices. So disappointed my family and I will never go there again. Didnt bother to disturb the manager to complain... remember he was busy with the waitresses. You gotta do better Golden Corral...You gotta do better.

I get so excited to see a Golden Corral. However I always leave disappointed. I never met my waitress. I filled up my own cup of water. The food always underwhelmes. It is what it is though. I usually eat at the one in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia. I'll go back to that one. I'll skip the one in Bristol though. The food was not as good.

Well after a good drive and a little shopping nearby we decided to go eat at Golden Corral. Usually a safe bet. Foods usually consistent and always fills you up. That was the thought and it was more than the truth. This Golden Corral was a step up from the rest. Better staff, service, and quality of food. The steak was delicious, the shrimp fresh and tasty, the fried fish was phenomenal, and the rest of the buffet was grand. Couldn't have asked for a better experience at a restaurant. A real winner. Kids were pleased, parents were pleased, and bellys full. Thank you... Sorry for the shotty pictures, I had planned to take better ones but my appetite made me loose my train of thought. This was more or less the aftermath of or Fiesta.

They were very busy but it was father's day. We expected that. They could've done better with waitresses getting us drinks and actually having a1. I would've given it a 5 star. But, it wasn't an unpleasant experience. We ate and celebrated their dad, and had a good time.

How do I start. My wife's grandmother requested going here today for her 82 birthday. I knew it has been going down hill for several years and we haven't been eating here but we went along with her grandmother's request. My feet stuck to the floor, dirty nasty carpet when we were in line coming in. One step above dog food at best and that's a shame. This use to be a really good family friendly economic place to go. $85.00 for a family of four. Totally rip off. Nasty food. We ended up stopping at Burger King on our way home to get something we could eat.

I had a bento box my husband had this Thai pineapple dish. The food was really good. I was super impressed with the rice not dry, not mushy, not over flavored perfectly balanced. The best rice I have had from any restaurant.

Osaka Japanese Steakhouse offers an exceptional dining experience that never fails to impress. From the moment you step inside, the welcoming ambiance sets the tone for a memorable meal.

The steak and seafood options are always cooked just right, and the portion sizes are generous.

The service is attentive and friendly, with staff going out of their way to ensure a great dining experience. Whether you're dining with family, friends, or on a special occasion, Osaka Japanese Steakhouse delivers consistently great food, a lively atmosphere, and excellent service. Highly recommend for anyone in the mood for top-tier Japanese cuisine!

This restaurant is amazing! The soft shell crab tempura is delicious, the Vietnamese Rolls are unique and well created with a wonderful mango sauce, the sashimi and the nigiri were both very good, and the hibachi steak and shrimp dinner was excellent, with wonderful sauces.

Okay... friends of the area mentioned this place being well-known for the sushi. At first the decision was to place an order for takeout. Sat in the entry way on cozy chairs reviewing the paper menu and specials that were posted on a bulletin. One of the gentleman greeted us and offered the special for the day. Walking inside, the ambience fills every corner! The choice for takeout was now dine in!! Welcomed at our table and treated like royalty - the entire visit!

I’ve been a regular at Osaka restaurant since 2006. I love going there to see the diverse range of workers. The food is highly recommended!

I am amazed by the exceptional service and delicious food at Greene's Seafood. Despite it being the night before Thanksgiving, the entire staff showcased genuine southern hospitality. The meal was flawless; my father enjoyed perfectly cooked shrimp cocktail and steamed crab legs that were excellent. Trying a deviled crab for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised by its delectable taste. My husband praised his shrimp pro boy, commenting on their expertly cooked shrimp.
Definitely the best cat fish and white fish I've ever had! They still have the refillable containers on the table too! Great service by Morgan as well! Can't wait to try something else next visit!

We stopped here this last weekend since it was recommended by our neighbors. As certified seafood lovers, this is by far the best fish market we've ever been to! The people there are very welcoming and helpful, and gave great recommendations 💕 any kind of seafood or unique meat you can think of, Greene's has there. We picked up some catfish and their house made Cajun breading and it's incredible! (Pictured) We also ate their cajun crab dip in one sitting it was so good! It's wonderful to have such a fresh source of seafood so close to home. We can't wait to go back to the restaurant and get some clams!

It has been years since I had been to Green's Seafood and I regret not going back sooner. I had the blackened grouper and it was delicious, perfectly cooked and seasoned. The fresh hand cut fries were great. I don't care for crab, but my sister said that her crab legs were better than what she got at the last 2 beach trips we took! The meals were delicious and very affordable. We will definitely start going there more often! Our server Morgan was so kind, hard working and honest!!!

Great little market for buying fresh fish. We enjoyed our meals of fried catfish, slaw and a baked potato. Service was fast and good.

All the tables around us got fried clam strips or calamari and it looked great too.

Coming back from Gatlinburg Tennessee all of us were starving so we quickly looked up on Google Maps for restaurants closest to us and this Italiano Cafe popped up. Not a very big place matter of fact while we were there there weren't really any indoor seating. They had a number of tables right out front and then a covered area with a few other tables. We all needed to use the restroom as well which is located outside on the back of the building. There was an older lady that was working and she was super sweet and chatted with us for a little bit. We ordered a pizza and I got a meatball sub. Food didn't take too long. The pizza was good, in my opinion it wasn't anything special but it definitely was good pizza. The meatball sub was a little soggy for me but the meatballs were actually really good. Definitely a local mom-and-pop shop. There was definitely a little in and out traffic while we were there. I could see this being a popular place for the locals. I would say it's a pretty good staple and if you needed to grab a pizza and a sub this wouldn't be a bad choice.

We’ve dined at Red Pepper a handful of times and it’s always delicious. We would eat there far more often if we lived closer. This is a fantastic option directly across the street from the Hard Rock casino. So far, we have not found anything worth eating in the casino itself. Please note that the spice levels of authentic Indian food are not like that of the average restaurant in the Tri-Cities area. Choose wisely. :-)

We actually called in an order to the wrong restaurant and arrived here with no order in place. This was the BEST possible outcome. We arrived 10 minutes before they closed when we figured out we’d ordered at the wrong place. They welcomed us to place an order AND sit at the bar to have cocktails while they made our last minute order. Like I said, BEST DECISION EVER! They have a full well/bar with tons of options. BUT THE FOOD… are you kidding me? Absolutely the best Indian cuisine in this area you can find. We can’t express our gratitude enough for the wonderful customer service, classy hospitality, and intricate & beautiful flavors in their food. 10/10 recommend them for ambiance, customer service, and high food quality.

Beautiful restaurant, though darker than we like for lunch. My shoes stuck to the floor near the buffet, but the buffet itself was clean as were the tables. Lots of options on the buffet, some scrumptious and others average. Options were extremely light on protein. Staff was friendly and efficient, though they started to clear the table before I was finished and took away my beverage before I was finished. In their defense, my husband had already left the table to pay. We paid $40 for buffet, tax and tip, with water to drink.

food was okay, i mean it was fresh don't get me wrong. but how does it take a hour and half to make a kid's spaghetti, lasagna, and a Stromboli? that is crazy to me. also the waitress we had was horrible. my child accidentally hit a cup and spilled the drink. no biggie we helped clean it up and got it all taken care of and usually after that happens you get a new drink right? not here. we waited and waited after a hour i had to ask for another. and another thing was they brought out all of our meals separately, with easily 30 minutes in between each of us getting our food. i would get it if it was just the kids meal but it was all of the meals, which is pretty rude in my opinion. and my partner let his food get cold before he could eat it so i wouldn't have to eat alone. if i could give 0 stars i would.

Not sure what the issue was with the food since it did taste good but we won't be back to this restaurant. We also had to go ask for our check since our waiter was absent after we got our food. I also had to get up and get my own to go boxes since no waiter present.

This place his really good food. We go here once a month because the food is great. But, I am giving them three stars because the service has been awful, the bathrooms gross, and just overall the front of house not feeling like they care about their customers. All the food in the images were great. Highly recommend the fried mushrooms and peel 'n eat shrimp. So good! But you may have to wait 15 minutes for a drink refill and step over used paper towels in the restroom. 100% great food, 0% service. But by far, the best Mexican food around. That is, if you call peel n eat shrimp and friend mushrooms Mexican food. Oh, they also play country music, very weird. If the front of the house could get it together, this could easily be a 5 star restaurant. Oh, there was an oddly placed cup labeled "Money" at the cashier. Perhaps they meant tips?

My husband and I dined in on 10/26 for our anniversary. When we walked in, we saw the board of specials had Whiskey Sour for $4.25. We each enjoyed 2 of those with our delicious fajitas. The waitress came by with our bill and we handed her our credit card without reviewing the bill. After she brought our receipt back, I signed it, and then we noticed they charged us full price, I believe $9 each for a total bill of $74.95.We brought it to attention of the waitress and since she was new said she would get someone to take care of it. We were then brought a new ticket for a total of $53.04. We assumed they had backed out the original and only charged the $53.04, but as I review my credit card this week I see the full charge $74.95. Disappointed as the food was delicious and service was great otherwise.

Really good. The food was fresh and flavorful. Looks like a small family place and limited staff so service was a bit slow but well worth it. Very good food. The only issue was the area. I don’t know what’s happened to Bristol, but the people downtown are unfriendly.

We read about Shanghai Restaurant in a Southern Living article, and it was every bit as good--or even better--than described. The sevice was superior, the food was soooooo delicious and plentiful. We will be back next time we are in Bristol.

This is literally the BEST Chinese restaurant outside of Washington D.C.! The food was excellent, the service and atmosphere was impeccable. We loved talking with the owner and will drive the 2 hours from our house to enjoy this family restaurant again!

Am a truck driver and happened to be in the area. I'm completely amazed of the friendliness and service at this family restaurant; the food was one of the best I've had in a long time...the to go portion I wish could have been a little more but, none the less amazingly delicious 🤤🤤🤤. Thank you for the complementary water bottle the gentleman offered me; I believe he was the owner. Thank you again; I can't wait to be in the area again.

The price I paid for the food was a little too high! The large shrimp friend rice literally was a big plate of rice and like 9 shrimp maybe 8. The sauce was sour sauce was runny. So I paid almost 60 for for a plate of rice, 9 shrimp, 2 egg fooya, and sweet and sour chicken! And the shrimp friend rice didn't even look like shrimp fried rice. More like real rice, egg and 8 shrimp

This is an amazing family-owned gem in Bristol's historic downtown area. We dined outdoors on the covered patio, right along State St. Some highlights of our meal include: the best hot and sour soup I have had anywhere; shatteringly crisp *homemade* spring rolls (the peppery beef one is especially delicious); locally sourced roast duck; pan-fried shrimp and water chestnuts; and a chow mei fun strewn with fluffy egg and vegetables. Everything was delicious, and we can't wait to return!

Nestled in the Abingdon/Bristol area, China Sun has quickly established itself as a beloved takeout destination for locals. With its commitment to quality and affordability, this eatery stands out not just for its delicious Chinese-American cuisine but also for its exceptional staff. Visitors are greeted with warmth and respect, creating an inviting atmosphere that keeps them coming back. The owner’s personal touch is evident as she engages with regulars, making everyone feel valued.
Although the dining area could use some work, the food & service made up for it! Portion sizes were huge - the photo is just what I brought home. My niece had the Sesame Chicken & said it was the best she’s ever had! Highly recommend!

A bit disappointing. It's your typical Chinese food, a bit pricey for what you get. The quality of food was ok, nothing to rave about. $6 to upgrade a combo's fried rice to porc. (The others in the region is only a couple dollars). Speaking of combo, it came with a wonton soup... It only had 1 wonton. The norm is usually 2 or 3, but I've never had just a single wonton. This was also a take out order, since I was in town traveling... And the order did not include utensils of any sort. (Sticks, spoon or fork). I likely wouldn't order from this place again.

I’ve only lived in the Abingdon/Bristol area for a short time now but China Sun quickly became my go-to takeout spot. The food is good quality and affordable, but most importantly the staff there are fantastic. One of the first things I learned is they appreciate and respect their customers, every time I’ve gone they’ve been quick to help and friendly the whole time. I plan on going here for a long time to come (and thank you for the free donuts!)

I ordered the Orange Chicken. The chicken was apparently left over from a couple of days earlier it was so tough I couldn't cut it with a table knife. There was very little sauce which I've always enjoyed with the steamed rice (not this time). There were a couple of very small pieces of orange and limes, green bell pepper and what appeared to be thin slices of carrot. Needless to say most ended in the trash. With all the positive reviews I thought I'd give it a try, live and learn.

Restaurant
Bella's Pizza of Bristol is a casual eatery that offers a variety of delicious options, including pizza, wings, sandwiches, and pasta dishes. They also have a selection of beer and wine to complement your meal. The pizzas are always served hot and loaded with cheese, made with 100% Real Mozzarella that is freshly graded every day. Their salads are made fresh to order using high-quality ingredients. The wings are well-sauced and flavorful.
The Italian sub was out of this world. Bursting with flavor /accentuated in such a way with the ingredients giving a unique taste & texture ..I truly cant explain it. This restaurant also offers various craft beer exclusively. This establishment was founded by a lady who lived in my former old neighborhood growing up about five miles away from this restaurant. Her son/ my classmate tragically died in an automobile accident when only 17 years old in 1979. She is gone now as well but part of her legacy lives on with this wonderful place. The sports memorabilia was very interesting especially with the emphasis on local schools. Keep in mind they automatically charge a 15% gratuity. I didn't notice this until I paid bill/left a tip.

Overall, it's a decent little place with pretty good pizza. I might have gone 3 stars on the food, but since it was a special and it was only 10$, I felt that offset it some. Atmosphere is a very centered around after sports pizza and local teams, which is fun, and the girls behind the counter were very nice. The pizza itself is just okay with the crust flavor being the best part. The texture was soft and a little doughy/ greasy, so you couldn't really pick it up at all without a little mess. I was pre-warned to get it well done but i like to try and review based on how it's presented naturally.

Paid $27 for a pizza that was the most under cooked, lousy, sloppy, wet pizza I’ve ever had. Went to pick up a slice and the bottom of the pizza was wet and doughy, all the toppings fell off. I took the pizza back in, they remade one and I checked it when I got in my car and it was exactly the same. Worst pizza place I’ve ever been. If you like soggy wet pizza this is the place to go. I strongly do not recommend this place as I will NEVER eat here again.

This used to be our go to place in Bristol for pizza because we support local only when dining however time and time again over the past year our pizzas arrive and they’re either undercooked or missing ingredients or rock, solid and cold. But today we gave it one last shot for lunch, and unfortunately, our cheese pizza was cooked on top but solid black burnt on the bottom and our cheese breadsticks were also burnt to crisp and not edible. I can no longer recommend this place for local pizza :( and wont be ordering again.

Pizza special on Tuesday. The wait, only a about 10 minutes. Should have been a few minutes longer. The crust was light and airy while there are dough parts throughout. Heard a lady ask for Well done on her pizza as I was heading out. Now I know. The pepperonis were plentiful. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Finished off the leftovers the next day. Still airy with decent sauce and flavor

I ordered a 16’ pizza when I got home it looked small and I thought maybe they had given me the wrong pizza because there was no sticker or name. I measured it and it was 13’ so I figured they gave me someone’s medium because they are 14’. I called them and they told them about my pizza and they told me to bring it in and they’d figure it out. As soon as I walk in they start asking “ is that the guy that actually measured his pizza” while laughing at me. The man who I assume is the manager ( he was about 5’6 -5’8 and 270-300 lbs mid twenties or early thirties) asks to see my pizza and then rudely said we’ll go ahead and get out your tape because I think that’s 16’ , I said I didn’t bring it then I offered to show this picture and he said no I’ll measure it in a hateful and rude tone. Several minutes passed by they were all in the back laughing at it and I got some mean looks, he came back and said I can make you a personal pan or another large, I told him whatever he preferred I didn’t mind. My pizza is still open in the back the entire time and got cold he didn’t try to heat it up or anything yelled my last name once the personal pan was done and didn’t offer an apology or sorry for the inconvenience he just walked off shaking his head. Very rude and sad, this was my favorite pizza place growing up and the only complaint I’ve ever had, but the rude service and underwhelming pizza I will not be returning. I hope the man that was so rude learns to treat people with respect instead of mocking them with the other workers and being incredibly rude before that once wonderful pizza place is ran into the ground.

First time visit. We walked in they were busy and we were told 45 min for pickup. At 30 min our pizza came. It would be nice if they would put more toppings on as we had 2/6 slices with no toppings at all. 5/10 on taste.

We went to Bella's to purchase some wings. While we waited, we couldn't help notice the aroma of the pizza. When we watched them take the pizza out of the oven, they looked the best we had ever seen. So, of course we ended up getting a pizza as well. OMG! What a treat. Both were wonderful. Fresh ingredients and a touch of magic on the pizza. It must have been because we had never had a pizza like this. Be smart and give them a go, you won't be disappointed.

The brewery operates from Sunday to Monday between 11am and 10pm, while on Wednesday and Thursday they are open from 11am to 10pm. On Fridays and Saturdays, they extend their hours until midnight.
I decided to try Michael Waltrip’s Brewery ahead of the MLB Speedway Classic this past Saturday. The Bristol Sunshine Tangerine Ale Beer tastes amazing and the sliders are wonderful! I recommend the beer and the Mac Daddy slider! Unfortunately I checked and the beer isn’t available where I live in Oklahoma.

We were excited to try this brewery. No one greeted us when we entered. The restaurant was mostly empty. We waited at the hostess stand for over 5 minutes. Then another patron told us to get our own menus from the hostess stand and find a table. The bar tender was working hard to serve the customers at the bar and wait on tables. A homeless woman came in and ate a peanut butter sandwich beside us. We wanted to try a flight of beer, but the tap system was broken, and most beer was not available. We tried 3 appetizers, and I wouldn't recommend any of them. They are frozen food being dropped in a fryer.

The service was great. The bartender was very knowledgeable with the beer and the food options and let us try a few of the beers. The food was ok, and the beer itself was just ok.

I was just passing through Bristol, and I looked up top wing spots, and MW Brewing popped up. Wings were AMAZING (I did buffalo crispy). Looking for good wings? This place rocks! I can't speak for the rest of the menu. Had their West Coast IPA, which was really good! Number one complaint...I couldn't grab a six pack of the beer I like to take home. Crazy! And they were out of growlers. You are a brewery. Have your beer to sell! Keith was the bartender, and he was awesome, laid back, and knowledgeable about what they had! Will definitely stop by the next time Im in town.

Everyone- I want to take a moment to acknowledge the manager, Scott, at this Buffalo Wild Wings location. Earlier this week, I placed a lunch order for pickup, but unfortunately when I received my food, it wasn’t what I had ordered. Naturally, I was disappointed and tried to call the restaurant. They were understandably busy, but eventually I was able to connect with Scott. From the moment we spoke, he was kind, professional, and willing to listen. I explained the situation, and he immediately apologized and worked with me to find a solution. He took down my correct order, asked me to give him a 30-minute heads-up before coming by, and assured me the food would be made fresh. When I arrived, the staff greeted me with sincere apologies, and Scott personally came out to ensure everything was correct this time. He went above and beyond to make things right, showing respect, professionalism, and genuine care for both the customer experience and the restaurant’s reputation. Thanks to Scott, what started as a frustrating situation turned into a positive experience. He truly turned it around and showed me why I’ll remain a loyal customer. If you’re looking for great food, outstanding customer service, and a manager who genuinely cares, I highly recommend visiting this location. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks! Travis-

Fine food and service was ok. Having said that, when you market yourself as a sports bar, you should show the NBA playoffs. The Clippers game was on and was on and turned off with six minutes to go. I asked to have it turned back on, it never was. With around a minute to go, I informed the server their tip would be impacted and that they still had time to turn it on. They never did, the manager came and put her hands on my drink, in my hand. Thankfully, a busboy paid for my drink, and I left. Complete disaster of an operation at this establishment. Beer and wings? Sure! Sports? Hell no. Clippers lost at the buzzer, found out in car.

Honestly the food was ok. Not the best wing's we have eaten. It tasted more like oil on every bite we took. And the wing's were to crispy on the hard crunchy side. The atmosphere felt really dead 💀 and our waitress was a little hard to get a hold of. Especially, for it being dead when we were there

My husband and I went 3 times and will never go back. Im not one to complain but they are pitiful, takes forever to get waited on every time and the customer service was horrible each time, I was disappointed and thought it would get better at next visit but it did not. They need to train their employees and managers because it's a mess. This was about a year ago so I can't speak on current experience, this is my first review but the lack of service i cannot forget.

It's almost always short staffed when coming here. You ask for extra sides and they charge way too much for a small amount of what you asked for.

Just wanted to shout out the servers here. We see you! You are all doing amazing.

Visiting and decided to try this place. Parking lot seemed a little sketchy, but we tried it anyway. Grill was on the entire time we were seated so it was as very hot! Most places turn the grill on only for cooking, nope not here. You could also smell the propane from the grill the entire time. Soup was very clear, but had a decent taste. Salad was served with shrimp sauce. (Shrimp sauce was very watered down.). I ordered steak and shrimp….very disappointing. Steak did not have a good flavor and had lots of fat. Shrimp was petite salad shrimp cooked on the grill, not what we are used to at hibachi. We had three guests and our food bill was over $100. We were automatically charged a 15% gratuity (which I was fine with) but we were taxed on our gratuity as well (which was a little more than 15% of my food bill.). I have never known an establishment to tax gratuity. I would fine somewhere else to go. For what we paid, the food didn’t meet expectations.

My sashimi was completely frozen, basically inedible… I’ve never had that at any other place I’ve been to in my 23 years. I thought I’d give it another try but very disappointed and won’t be back. 16 dollars down the drain. My food was also placed in a Togo box with ice under the fish in the container and I picked it up 10 minutes after ordering it, so the fish was definitely already frozen. I also can’t have ice in my car since I am currently on break from my work place. Very weird.

I’ve been to several hibachi restaurants in my life and this one was by far the most disappointing. Definitely priced on the higher side and smaller portions than other places I have been to. The actual cooking of the food was mediocre. Our chef did not perform at all. Not even an onion volcano. Additionally, no sushi chef the evening we were there , so sushi was not an option. Our service was less than average. Our waitress did not hand us, drinks , plates, silverware, ect . Just set them on the corner of the table. I have never been to a restaurant where the waitress does not set your drink, plate ect in front of you. She was nice, but did the bare minimum. I will say, this was the best cooked shrimp and beef I have had at a hibachi restaurant. Not at all over cooked and flavorful, the rice on the other hand was quite plain. Finally, they included a 15% tip on a ticket for 4 people. I normally tip 20%, but since they force a 15% tip I didn’t tip anymore. Probably won’t be back.

This has to be the WORST pizza plus I have EVER been to. The waitress is rude and doesnt have ANY service skills. The manager couldn't care less about the food quality and customer service/satisfaction. We arrived at 1245...lunch. came in and went to the bathroom with 2 little boys. There was poop on the toilet and no soap. Went to the bar and it was covered with pizza but it was all old, hard and burnt. The tomatoes looked soft but okay, but were actually rotten when you bit into it. I asked the waitress for a pepperoni and cheese due to it not being on the bar and she said "ill check if the manager wants to make one" The pizzas were so nasty even a 3 and 4 year old wouldn't eat it. Needless to say, we will never return to this place.

Had my first and last experience with your lee highway location today. We came in for the buffet and arrived a few minutes before 1. Very disappointed in the service and quality of the food. Salad bar had empty items that where never filled. But the main issue is the pizza was dried out and not really edible. We brought this to our waitresses attention and she said basically oh well the lights make that happen. Never offered to fix anything fresh or ask if there was a certain pizza we wanted. Finally 20 minute later at about 2 o’clock she told us she thought he had a couple pizzas in to put out and we waited 20 minutes or so more and nothing ever came out. I will say she did seem to be the only one working and actually doing anything. The other two guys that where there seemed most concerned with going outside to vape and would only come in to check someone out. Again very disappointed never had an experience with pizza plus as bad as this and likely won’t be back.

Sheetz is a convenient retail chain that offers fuel and a range of familiar products, such as packaged snacks, beverages, and takeaway food. It serves as an all-in-one stop for various needs. Customers can fuel up their vehicles while also purchasing items like ice cream, pizza, mozzarella sticks, breakfast options, biscuits, ham, sausage, and even dental floss. It resembles a small-scale version of a large grocery store with the added benefit of having affordable gas prices.
Generally good experience across all stores. Some stores have drive through or even delivery for food, which you can order online through the app. Usually there is a table or two with seating both inside and out available,(only exception seems to be in college towns, they are always full!) Prepared food to go is generally good and reasonably priced (on par with other fast food chains). All have restrooms and are handicap accessible. Gas is a good deal especially if you sign up for the rewards program. Some Sheetz even have Tesla Super Chargers. I am a regular customer.

I stopped in today (8/10/2025) and was so impressed with the patience of an employee named Matt. He was working at 4:45 pm and he handed a situation that a customer had (in front of me) with patience that I lost long ago. I told him I couldn't do his job for one hour and I couldn't. I admire people like that. This is a great location with amazing employees who can deal with much more than I could.

Honestly I would rather rate this place a 0 out of 5 if I could at this point. Every single time I order drinks and sometimes food through door dash they can never get my order right. I don't understand how it's so hard for them to read and retrieve an order. Just a moment ago I ordered 2 Gatorade glacier freeze ZERO and got REGULAR, I ordered a 20oz mountain dew ZERO and got a live wire, and I ordered a 1lt diet Pepsi and got a 20oz diet Pepsi. So I pretty much wasted my entire $15 I spent. I am a diabetic and cannot drink regular drinks with sugar so I need them to be diet or zero sugar. I would absolutely love to have a refund or to be offered a replacement or something. Something for all the trouble I've had with this location. But I'm really not sure if I will be doing anymore business here because of the constant trouble. And it's not door dash's fault because all of them tell me they have to take whatever they have in the bags.

All roadside convenience centers should put in DC fast chargers for Tesla and for other electric car brands. As electric cars become more popular, the convenience stores will begin to sell less gasoline and more electricity.

Messed up a milkshake, when asked to fix it they said they made it right and “we can review the camera footage.” This is obviously something to do to avoid fixing it because nobody wants to stand around and wait for camera footage, I say that as someone who used to work food service. The sandwich also only had half the ingredients on it. Short blonde lady specifically was being really nasty about it. For the record I like it here, I wanna come back, but current food staff is weirdly rude.

Don't fall for the free air scam. I pulled in with one low tire and left with two flats limping to the nearest gas station. The machine appears and sounds functional. It even notifies you when the tire reaches the default psi of 35, but it's nonsense. Apparently, it beeps when it empties the tire of air too.

Several major issues with our order today and when we asked to have one of the mistakes fixed, they remade it wrong a second time. The short haired blonde woman behind the food counter got weirdly hostile about it and "offered" to check the cameras to "make sure." We gave up, because of course we did! Who wants to stand around doing that? I don't know if they're having a bad day back there or what, but they shouldn't be taking it out on customers. I've worked food service before and this was unacceptable behavior and unacceptable service.

The American eatery MeMe's Diner offers delightful dishes and a charming atmosphere. The small, cozy setting provides fantastic serving sizes that are highly enjoyable, while the cuisine itself is incredibly tasty.
Sweetest lil spot portions were awesome and food was delicious!

This was the first and probably last time I'll eat here. Asked for lemon with my drink, never recieved. I ordered brown beans, fried potatoes, cornbread, country ham, the beans were tasteless, the cornbread muffins were rock hard from the bottom half way up, I asked for another muffin, 10 minutes go by and waitress asks if there's anything else we need and I said well yes, the muffin I asked for would be nice as I've already drank my drink and no longer need the lemon. I was very disappointed in the service but more so on the meal itself 😞

Arby's is a popular fast-food destination that has carved out a niche for itself with its signature roast beef sandwiches. This beloved chain offers an array of delicious options, including both hot and cold sandwiches, crispy fries, and indulgent shakes. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty meal or a quick snack, Arby's has something to satisfy your cravings!
Food was flavorless, asked for two cups of cheddar, they charged 99c each and barely got a teaspoon full in each cup! Do better Arby's yall are part of the problem in America

When ordering the cashier said she got everything we were mentioning. Got to the window and she didnt even ring up the sandwich or the potato cakes. Had to go through the drive through again. Fries were cold. Will not be coming back to this location again. We will go to the others available in the region. For the price of their food, it should be correctly input and fresh.

Everything was great. Food, people, atmosphere. However, first time my mom and I have been to Arby's in about 3 years. We both had to run to the bathroom an hour after we ate. So....I may try it again or I may not?

This is about the worst place in America to stop and eat, especially if you are ethnic. I visited there a couple days ago and a worker told another worker,,”them Ju-Ju’s done made you scared! Look at you scared of them Ju-Ju’s.” He said this three times. This was after I placed my order for a burger meal. I finally asked him what he said about me. He acted like I wasn’t standing there asking him a question. I then asked his coworker what he said about me, she says “oh he’s was talking to me”. I asked the cashier for a refund. She said ok let me ask the manager. The manager came out and asked how could she help me. I told her I wanted my refund, she proceeded to give me the refund and asked why I wanted it and I told her exactly what happened and that I wanted a refund. She told the man to cancel the burger order and meet her in the office, then apologized for what we had to be subject to. This day in time, there are still people who yet choose to represent companies in the worst way. Arby’s has put a very bad taste in my mouth. Racial discrimination and racism is not tolerated by me or anyone that looks like me. Unbelievable and very unfortunate! I felt very afraid staying in that area any longer. This has really put things in perspective as it relates to how stuck America is as a nation when prejudice towards people of color is still a stumbling block to progression. Sad day in this day and time!

Suggest going someplace else if you’re going after 10pm. Half the food was not able to be served guess they sold out? The food we did get was good but missed the mark, no jalapeños on a slider I guess I just ordered miniature roast beef sandwiches?

Ordered a chicken and swiss from this location and the chicken was so dry, like it was under a heat lamp all day, just hard and dry unfit for chewing.

Stopped to get the loaded Italian subs (2) among several other sandwiches and was told they only had 1 Italian left for the night. It was 7:30 on a Saturday night. Needless to say they lost about a 50.00 order.

There were only two employees there working, there were customers in the drive-thru waiting for food, there were other customers with us in the lobby waiting for food, and we were told it would be about 10 minutes before we could place our order, so we left.

Taco restaurant
Taco Bell is a popular fast-food chain that specializes in Mexican-inspired dishes, offering a variety of options like tacos, quesadillas, and nachos. While many enjoy the unique flavors and quick service, some recent experiences have highlighted inconsistencies in food quality. For instance, there have been reports of stale chalupa bread despite requests for freshness. Although the dining area maintains cleanliness, certain facilities like restrooms may not always meet expectations.
Food was mediocre. Got 2 Chicken Chalupas Supreme Combos, the chalupa bread was stale and tough hard to chew was not fresh! This is the third time we have gotten stale bread when specifically requesting fresh Chalupa bread on our order. The place was clean except for the restrooms and no toilet paper. We have had better food and service before not sure why it has been so bad lately.

My husband went to this Taco Bell today he had to use the kiosk and when it sends you the receipt to your phone it does not give you the phone number for the restaurant and the phone number listed does not work! It was the worst Taco Bell food I have ever gotten! The Mexican pizza had a different shell and it was stale! I could not eat it! The rest of the food was horrible as well! If someone has the phone number please list it

Got there a few minutes after 3 pm today. Ordered our food waited 5 minutes then asked for my drink cup. A family of 5 came in about 7 minutes later then a couple after that. Still waiting on our food. The couple got there food, still waiting on mine which was about 25 minutes by now. Got up to go to the counter and sure enough the food for the family of 5 was on trays. Ready to be given to them. I asked when I was getting my food, I'm assuming the woman in charge who never came to the counter said Everytime a car drivers up it bumps you back. Are you serious? I took the time to park and walk in and get treated like crap. No welcome to Taco Bell no well have your order right up. It was like I wasn't there. Then 40 minutes later I finally got my food and had wrong it's and missing items from my order. I go back to the counter and wait and wait, finally I have to say excuse me, to get someone to respond one girl finally came and corrected everything for me. I had 2 orders is all. Is this really the way you treat your customers and the woman in charge has no people skills what so ever. I've eaten here many times. I definitely will not be returning now. The person in charge was rude and didn't have a name tag, and absolutely no customer skills.

One of the worst made Taco Bell meals we’ve ever had. Hardly any toppings in the tacos. The grilled burrito was burned. And the wait was very long for our food. None of the boxes were served in boxes and all our food was thrown in one bag for 5 meals.
Kristene H — Google review
Wasn't hardly ANY meat in the Tacos. I mean REALLY, come on now. And they go from giving ten tons of hot sauce to acting like a year is going to be taken off their own life for each sauce. Geez, as much as they charge they could at least give you your money's worth!. No service at the counter. They literally ignore you if you stand at the counter. A sign at the counter that you now have to do the counter person's job. For no pay. Hmmm...and no meat. No further sales.
Cindy S — Google review
I quit getting the cantina chicken burrito at this location because they can never seem to remember the sauce packet that costs extra that comes with the burrito. But I thought today I’d give them another chance. Forgotten again. Ever since this location was remodeled it’s gone down hill. This is the worst Taco Bell in the area.
Krishlyn J — Google review
Absolutely horrible! I've been here a few times but this time has made me vow I'll never come back to this location. We waited over 45min for our food, just for it to be wrong. Once we got our food it was horrible. The staff was so useless they couldn't help us at all, we asked for a manager and they didn't even know the name of the one on staff! We manager finally came out of her hideing spot and started yelling at the customers. Absolutely horrible, go somewhere else.

Got my food and was very hungry. It was a cheesy bean and rice burrito and the bean part was fine, but once I got to the rice it was all hard. Such a disappointment. So thank you to the workers who gave me hard, rock solid rice it reallyyyyy made my night.

Without a doubt, Phat Daddy's is the top sub spot in the vicinity. It's important to note that you should arrive with a big appetite and wearing comfortable clothing because their subs are enormous! Even their small sub can easily satisfy two or three people. They definitely don't skimp on the meat and toppings, ensuring a delightful culinary experience. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful, adding to the overall enjoyment of dining there.
Absolutely Blown Away — This Place is a Hidden Gem! 🇺🇸🥪 Stopped in for a sub and left with what can only be described as a weapon of mass deliciousness. I ordered the Phat Daddy sub, and let me tell you—it could easily feed four people… more like a small village! The thing weighed at least 10 pounds and was stuffed to the brim with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Not only was the food incredible, but the service was just as impressive. The owner clearly takes pride in his craft, and it shows in every bite. He was super friendly and even gave a generous military discount—which I really appreciated. For just $30, I got a massive, expertly made sub or should I say subs with excellent customer service to match. This place is doing it right. If you’re hungry (and I mean really hungry), support a business that puts heart, soul, and serious flavor into what they do. I’ll definitely be back!

So overall we had a fine experience and may even come back, but this isn’t a place I’d go out of my way to eat at. The Atmosphere is fine, very clean and tidy. They do have a lot of those novelty street signs that can make the place seem very busy on the eyes. They do have outdoor seating which is nice. Service was adequate, the guy behind the counter was nice enough and asked if different people were new to the place so he could explain the portion sizes to them. We did end up waiting almost 35min from walking in, to getting our food and most of that was just waiting in line. Only the one guy behind the counter slicing meant, constructing sandwiches, and taking payments. Made it kind of a slow process, they could definitely benefit from some help. Food was good, my buddy got a Ham and turkey, and I got a meatball. The potions are huge on the subs but that about all it had going for them, meat could have been subway to be honest, couldn’t really tell a difference in quality, bread was better than your average spot so that was nice. Meatball sub was kinda average, not bad but not amazing either. Overall it’s a fine place to stop by, but I wouldn’t go out of my way. Biggest thing going for them is portion to price ratio, but that about it…

There a great place in Bristol Tennessee if You want a subway or a SUB THE WAY YOU WANT IT or with everything then come to PHATT Daddy’s at 1840 Voluteer Parkway Bristol Tennessee. Fresh meat ham turkey meatballs Philly steak, wings, fried pickles BBQ chicken,teriyaki and veggies with Wraps or Bread and for the kids grilled cheese and fries and breakfast sausage biscuits and biscuits and gravy and he’s local business we should support and has plenty of parking. Our order was the Ham and cheese and the works and my wife got the turkey and provolone and veggies and our bag weight close to 10 lbs I’m not kidding. And the blueberry cheese cake is excellent too. And he honors the military. True patriot.

Wow, I really wanted to love this place. First it is in a house that took the family room and made it into a reception for their restaurant. There wasn’t any indoor seating to eat only to wait like you were in a doctor’s office. The prices on the menu were a shocker at $30 for a sub, but they said it feeds 4. We only got the half which was $15 without chips and drink. Which they had no more chips and their sides only came in pints, and they only had potato salad and mac salad. I think it was more like they needed to go shopping rather than it being that busy they ran out of things. The food itself was flavorless as we had the mac salad and a steak n cheese. The meat was thicker slices of beef and the seasoning was…..well none. The mac salad just tasted like mayo even though it had cheese and green beans in it. None of it was worth the money especially since everything we did want the did have. Will not be stopping by again.

I should have taken a pic before I dug in. I purchased the half chicken bacon ranch sub. When I say this is the biggest sub I have ever gotten I mean it. Subway cant even touch this man's portions. Super nice staff. Inside is freshly remodeled. Phat Daddy's is the place to be!

Got the Reuben for the first time yesterday , and good lord what a sandwich!! First time ever coming and ordering from phat daddies , everyone always said it was really good. Well I can tell you this for sure , damn sure won't go back to subway after this XD

I was kinda happy to come visit this place for a good sub. It was almost 40 dollars for a full sized sub. And really wasn't that great for the price. I got a phat daddy and it really was just meat and bread and just a pinch of topings.. I was 10 minutes down the road and was eating it and realized the bread had a strong taste of mold then it went out the window. Completely a waste of money feeding the animals on the side of the road.. would be hard getting me to go back to this place.

Takes sub sandwiches to the next level. I’ve been there 3 times and tried different sandwiches. They are all AMAZING, but that Reuben is like no other Reuben I’ve EVER eaten. You’ve got eat at this place. Great folks! Gino is “THE MAN!”
