Juniper 1033 W Oakland Ave, Johnson City Cocktail Bar • $$$

“Dined here for the first time. Husband and his brother had Scallops. I had the 50oz T-Bone, $150.00 with a great bottle of wine. Very nicely done. This dish came with three sides from the left side of the menu excluding one dish which was explained. Long story short I ordered the $150.00 T-Bone with the three sides being the Brussell sprouts, the potatoes and the oysters. Our server c ame back to say there would be and up charge of $5 for the oysters, maybe $8, now mind you this appetizer WAS included with the offer. When the bill came there was a up charge of $10 for the oysters. So, we went from a $5 upcharge to $10 upcharge. The tip was $75.00 which is not a problem but misinformation is.”

“Maple Street Biscuit Company in Johnson City, TN, presents itself as a cozy breakfast joint with a distinctive atmosphere that adds to its appeal. While the food was satisfying overall, it fell short of being outstanding. I recently visited and ordered the Five & Dime with mushroom gravy, which was undoubtedly the highlight of the meal. The mushroom gravy was a standout, boasting a rich and delightful flavor that elevated the dish.Accompanying sides like hash browns and biscuit gravy were decent but didn't quite reach the same level as the standout mushroom gravy. They were enjoyable enough but lacked the wow factor that the main dish provided.What truly sets Maple Street Biscuit Company apart is its charming atmosphere. The absence of wait staff adds a unique twist to the dining experience. Instead of traditional table service, customers order at the counter and then await their turn to retrieve their meals. A delightful touch is the inclusion of a cute question during the ordering process, which becomes the identifier for picking up the order. It's these small, quirky details that make dining here memorable and enjoyable.However, if you're considering Maple Street Biscuit Company for a brunch outing, it's worth noting that while they offer mimosas, priced at $10 each, it may not be the most budget-friendly option for those seeking a leisurely brunch experience. Despite this, for a casual breakfast or quick bite, Maple Street Biscuit Company remains a charming choice with reasonable prices, particularly given the portion sizes. Whether you're a local or just passing through, the inviting atmosphere and tasty offerings ensure a pleasant breakfast experience at Maple Street Biscuit Company.Vegetarian options: Mushroom gravy is a mustParking: Lots of parking”

“We had lunch at this location today. The food is delicious but I have 2 comments. The penne with white clam sauce is more like Alfredo with clams in it. Delicious but not authentic. White clam sauce should just have olive oil, garlic, clams and clam juice. I cannot recommend the eggplant parmigiana at all. It was paper thin eggplant slices with a thick oily breadcrumb layer smothered in marinara and mozzarella cheese not parmesan. It was not appealing and I couldn’t eat it. But the garlic knots were the best I’ve ever had. Freshly baked and swimming in a very nice garlic butter. The salads were fresh and the calamari was perfect. So I recommend the place just not it’s authenticity and definitely not the eggplant dish!”

I hate their drive-thru process - some polite, clean-cut young person standing before you get to the menu asking you what you want and looking confused when I said I wanted to look at the menu. However, once I ordered, the process moved quickly. I find it weird they have a drive-thru, but have some guy (again, very polite and clean-cut) standing outside the building, getting the food from the window and passing it to me. It was very awkward when I asked for salt and ketchup and he had to turn around and ask the young woman at the window to pass him salt and ketchup and then him in turn passing it to me. It really doesn't feel like good service, just very awkward. However, my sand and lemonade was very good, but I think I will fight the craving for one of their sandwiches if I ever have it again.”

No one wanted to wait on us or other folks in line. I’m so glad Johnson City has a rooftop brewery, but we’ll be back when new owners take over over who something about customer service. Went to Yee Haw instead. The place was packed and the line was short. It was great.”

All of the employee's resigned due to the behavior and a Me2 incident has been covered up.

It's Just Wings 3040 Franklin Terrace, Johnson City Chicken Wings • $

“We ordered the 32 bone-in wings with the 4 different flavors. The wings were so grossly over cooked and the flavors were so indistinguishable from each other that we ended up throwing them away!!! These were without a doubt the worst wings we have ever had!!! Totally unpalatable!!! The curly fries that were boxed with them were so soggy and oil laden along with being so overly seasoned...., for a company that says JUST WINGS, I can`t imagine that they could surprise anyone with greatness!! This experience was just plain awful! Hope the next customer has a better experience than what we had! Won`t be back!!!”

I used the traditional sweet southern style sauce and it was my favorite. My husband had a brisket burger and loved it! Also the smoked Mac and cheese and cornbread pudding (think that is what they called it) very very good as well. We enjoyed banana pudding for dessert! We highly recommend!!”

Juniper 1033 W Oakland Ave, Johnson City Restaurant • $$$

“Dined here for the first time. Husband and his brother had Scallops. I had the 50oz T-Bone, $150.00 with a great bottle of wine. Very nicely done. This dish came with three sides from the left side of the menu excluding one dish which was explained. Long story short I ordered the $150.00 T-Bone with the three sides being the Brussell sprouts, the potatoes and the oysters. Our server c ame back to say there would be and up charge of $5 for the oysters, maybe $8, now mind you this appetizer WAS included with the offer. When the bill came there was a up charge of $10 for the oysters. So, we went from a $5 upcharge to $10 upcharge. The tip was $75.00 which is not a problem but misinformation is.”

“Great looking place, nice staff and a chill vibe. The pretzels and beer cheese appetizer set the tone for a great meal. I had the rouladen, and my only complaint is that the meat wasn't "fork-tender" as it's described. Flavor-wise, everything was great, the rouladen and the pan fried potatoes are an amazing combo, though I feel like I should've done sauerkraut instead of red cabbage. Definitely high on my list of places to return to.”

“I came while visiting family in the area. I love Thai food, and I had never tried Lao cuisine, which is another offering here. We got egg rolls as an appetizer, and they were flavorful and light--a great starter! I ordered Pho Lao, and I just loved it! I don't have much experience with pho, but this has set a high bar. Delicious beef flavor, just the right spice, and crunchy veggies.The service was amazing. Our server was family of the owners, and she was very knowledgeable about the menu, offered recommendations, made special adjustments (like adding pineapple to my uncle's meal), and took time to chat with us. While our orders took a bit to come out, we could see the staff were working very hard on all their business. When our food and drinks arrived, everything was PHENOMENAL! The server even gave me a free Thai iced tea to take home because of the wait....and the wait was just because they'd made the tea fresh. Great service!Definitely recommend, and I'm sad I don't live in the area to come more often!”
