“I always get the House Salad with grilled chicken and it’s phenomenal. The meat is tender, juicy and seasoned to perfection. The lettuce is top notch and crisp. It’s the best mix of toppings including tomatoes, boiled eggs, bacon, onions, croutons and more! The dessert is always delightful. I’ve never had any issue with waiting time and my order is usually always ready upon arrival for take out. Thank you, Label, for providing me and my family with good clean quality food!”

“This place is special! This place is spectacular! If you really know food, you will definitely appreciate this unique and outstanding establishment. The ambience is just as perfect as the menu and food. And the service is exceptional This is now my new go to in Johnson City.! I wish there was one of these in every town. I traveled too!”
“You guys have a real advocate in Kristin, a dental hygienist at Simple Smiles, just down the street. We talked about what foods we like, and she insisted I give you a try! She was right, I got a Paco, and it was great! Your online ordering is very easy, and despite the road construction you weren’t hard to figure out. I can’t wait to be in Johnson City again so I can try something else. You rock!”
“I went for lunch and got a latte and the blackened salmon special with creamy grits (I think) and greens. Delicious. I look forward to trying this spot for dinner. Yum!”
“First time eating at the cafe. We were surprised at the crowd. Not too many but enough to let you know it’s good. My wife and I really enjoyed our lunch. Excellent food, excellent service. Room is a bit noisy and some attention could be paid to noise abatement but the overall experience was wonderful. A defiant must try.”

“We went to this restaurant with our daughter and her boyfriend for the first time. Had a delicious lunch of 10 vegetable fried rice and cubahn mi. They had the Birria tacos and drunken noodles. Wow. Everything was so good. Thoroughly enjoyed the mimosas as well. Would recommend this place to anyone. Such a beautiful and comfortable restaurant. Great service.”
“Stopped by to sample the local whiskey and what a great experience. They have multiple offerings and not just whiskey. Gorgeous bar and excellent music! If you are looking for apparel or other retail items check out the Jonesborough location. The 90 proof Calhoun's is really smooth. Service was excellent. Cassidy was friendly and very helpful. High recommendations!”
“I always, always, always enjoy the grub at White Duck Taco.If I could suggest one thing to any newcomer... try the tacos as they have crafted them on the menu..The combination of ingredients may be so strange to you, but trust the experts.. The combination of those seemingly random ingredients are about to take your taste buds on a ride that no other taco has before..”

“My husband and I enjoyed a lovely dinner at Sahib. He had the medium heat Chicken Tikka Masala and I had the mild Pineapple Chicken curry. We also shared Chur Chur Naan and finished with Gulab Jamun. Everything was delicious and perfectly spiced. Our waiter, Rocky, was so nice and helpful! He suggested things to try that we had never ordered before. We will definitely be back!”

“What a wonderful experience walking into Pike House Coffee. It's a vibe, from the customer service to the ambiance and decorations. We are driving through the city and needed a place to work at and get some coffee. I told my husband I wouldn't mind moving here just to come to this coffee shop. Truly a hidden gem. I am leaving a review in the hopes to return again the future.I had a white chocolate latte with 1/2 the sweetness and my husband had the nondairy vanilla latte. Both tasted spectacular 10/10. Thank you to our wonderful barista, he deserves to find a forgotten lottery ticket and retire on a hidden treasure island somewhere. ;)”
“We recently spent a few weeks in Thailand, with friends who had just come from Vietnam. We sought out “authentic, local” food for every meal. We ate in small towns, in small spaces - sometimes nothing more than the front room of someone’s house. And it was wonderful. But after coming back to the Southeast US we weren’t sure we’d be able to eat authentic Southeast Asian food again. But we found this place online, and it had great reviews, so we decided to give it a try, and drive an hour to check it out. SO WORTH IT! The staff were welcoming and kind, the food was flavorful and thoughtfully prepared, and we will definitely be back. What an unexpected treasure in an unexpected location. Thank you!”
“I've been wanting to go here for a while and finally decided to make the trip up to Johnson City and try it out.I got the Beef Kebab, Beef and Lamb Gyro, Turkish Coffee, and the Baklava Cheesecake. Everything was incredibly delicious, and I was very genuinely impressed. I tried some the Red Pepper soup my mother got and it was *equally* incredible. I'll definitely be going back.One thing that really impressed me was that they're apparently rather non-compromising in offering authentic Turkish culinary. My Mother was curious about if you could get the Turkish Coffee with sugar or cream, which they said that would not be accurate to what the owners would like to serve. I admire this stance a lot, it shows a certain level of passion and confidence and belief in their product -- confidence which I believe is well earned.I simply cannot wait to go back and try more food!!”
“So hear me out…I have been wanting to try Calaveras for a while now. I went Thursday and they closed at 7:30 due to being sold out of everything (that should tell you something). So I said I’ll go Friday. Went Friday around 6:30 for the Esquite (Mexican street corn) and the Clasico (Three QuesaBirrias with an order of Consome-Birria Broth). They were sold out of both. My heart broke again. Learned the secret to calling ahead to order and finally got my hands on both today. I had to stop in the parking lot on the way out and try both. It was the most delicious Mexican cuisine I’ve had around here or in my life really! I was so busy eating I dipped my new dress sleeve in the broth without knowing because I was too busy eating. ? Please support this family ran business and try everything to your hearts desire. The portions are more than enough and the family is SO nice. I will definitely be back. Thank you for serving JC!!!! You guys did that! ? ? ”

“The carrot cake is the best hands down !!! How often do you have them ??? Are they ever the mystery cookie of the week ??? I soooo wanted one on my birthday but it was offered the week before :(”
“Our family loves the Scoop! Service is always good. The staff members are friendly and work quickly so there is rarely a long wait, even in the busy summer months. This is our favorite go to spot for ice cream, milk shakes or floats! Highly recommend.”
“My husband and I went for lunch today and it was FABULOUS! Beyond delicious! I’m not always super adventurous when it come to new cuisine but this is hands down some of the best food I’ve had! The owners were friendly and helpful with the menu… do yourself a favor and give this place a try. I got the pork belly platter and hubby got Cuban sandwich. Both fantastic!”
“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”
“Awesome beer, awesome people, awesome customers. I come here all the time, and the quality on all three of those things never goes down. I love the decorations in the bathrooms, too!”
“It's not a good place for tourists because they don't want to enter with any food from another restaurant. As me and my family we like shopping around and we have items on hand before we get back to our car.”
“Some of the best food I've had since moving to Tennessee from SoCal. I recommend their garlic soy ginger sauce with a side of broccolini. Their chicken and banana pudding are also amazing! We will definitely be regulars there.”

“Timber is a unique and wonderful dining experience in the tri-cities. Our waitress was amazing, She was knowledgeable and offered suggestions. The food was incredible and so sumptuous while the atmosphere was cozy and inviting as something you might find in Europe. We can't wait to enjoy Timber! again.”
“It was a surprise that we got a steak buy one and get one free . I was taking my cousin out for her birthday and we both enjoyed the great food and service was so good. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. We wish you had one of these restaurant's in Bristol.Parking: Good parking lot.”
“Very good! I had the chicken w green beans. They were very good. Crab Rangoon could of been crisper and the wontons was very salty. I enjoyed the wontons but there was not much flavor to the broth. All in all I enjoyed my meal.”
“I am always reluctant to eat at chain restaurants due to not knowing how long the food has been frozen and not having the fresh taste.The Johnson City TN location exceeded my expectations. Everything tasted amazing! As a former server I kind of have high standards. Our server was phenomenal. We did not need to ask for anything. She was intuitive and brought refills, extra bread sticks and boxes.”
“Despite the location being a little rough around the edges, do not let that deter you from the gem of a restaurant inside! You know a place is going to be good when they have a separate menu for more "authentic" dining. We tried a huge array of foods: Scallion pancakes, egg drop soup, custard buns, shrimp dumplings, Sesame tofu, beef with sezchuan spices, and even Thai teas to drink! Everything came out fresh and had amazing flavor.Marina was our server and she was very attentive and had a great personality. Even the cook came out and said hello and checked on the food qaulity, and to see how everyone in the restaurant that evening was enjoying their dinner. Definitely recommend if your looking for more authentic Chinese food options in the area! We will be back!!!”
“Overall, this is a very nice restaurant to take your friends, family members, loved ones, etc. I have always heard that if you want to go somewhere nice, then this was the spot! I agree, but was disappointed in the food. It was good, but it was not what we were expecting. Things did not come out how we imagined and flavors did not come through how we expected, but I would definitely come back and give it another shot. There were not many sweet wines either so I hope that maybe one gets added by the time I go again. Our service was great!”
“"Visited during a bustling lunch rush and was impressed with how quickly they fulfilled our order. The pizza was delicious, and I definitely plan to return in the future."”
“Four of us came for lunch and we were not disappointed. We ate off the $9.95 menu. Although this menu (in the past) had a non alcoholic beverage included , this price is still a bargain. Everyone in our party said how delicious their meal was --cashew chicken, king pao, general tsos, and mine was the Pho Soup with beef. The broth in my pho was the best yet! If you don't like beef broth, then they perhaps prepare differently. To me, the broth was the best in this area, although i cannot tell you about authenticity. There was a plate of three sauces, with the traditional basil and the bean sprouts centered on the plate.We all boxed our leftovers to go. If you want a great lunch at a great price, don't forget this venue on Roan. The Days Inn is attached to the restaurant.”
“My husband and I went for our anniversary. A wonderful experience, food and staff were amazing. Definitely a special treat because of the price but worth every dime.My favorites were the picanha,, flank steak and Parmesan pork. The salad bar was almost too pretty to eat but very delicious and high quality food! Thank you to all who helped us have a wonderful anniversary experience!”
“Bonefish is one of the few places in Johnson City willing to easily accommodate my dietary restrictions. Servers are always friendly, professional and attentive. Food is always excellent, no matter what we order AND they carry an Asheville craft been we love.”
“Great authentic Mexican food not your normal eats around here. If you want a traditional dish like you would find grandma making in her home in mexico this is it.”
“We tried Ming's at the recommendation of a friend, and we were not disappointed!! The food was fantastic!! The lady who served us was super friendly and helpful! It is definitely our new favorite Chinese restaurant!!Parking: The restaurant is located in a strip mall, so there is plenty of room for parking.”
“Kinda sceptical about trying this after reading some recent reviews but we tried it and it was great! Reasonably priced, friendly guy at the window, and food was definitely yummy! Would visit here again and would recommend!”
“First visit at this Texas Roadhouse location in Johnson City Tennessee. Love this chain restaurant because it's pretty consistent on the quality of the food and service by all of the staff that work there. The go to order for the wife and I is the appetizer/starter of fried pickles with a side of their awesome ranch dressing. Our entree order was the smokehouse burger with fries that's big enough for us to split. Everything came out exactly as we ordered and left us knowing that we weren't going to be eating anything heavy that evening at home. Looking forward to our next visit at this restaurant already.”
“First timer. Huge selection. Food was cooked very well. Did NOT have that cooked-in-the-same-oil flavor. Try a little bit of everything, or you'll miss out on a lot of tasty entres. Definitely will be back.”
“Was on the road and so excited to find a vegan cafe. Frannie is a gem and her food is home cooked deliciousness! I had Frannie's Ground Round with cowboy beans and the lime slaw, a Big Boi smoothie, and a pineapple cupcake. Everything had great flavor and was very satisfying. While eating, a couple of the regulars were talking about the gravy and quarterly brunch. I can't wait to make my way back through here ?”
“Like the majority of other restaurants now finding ways to save ... servings shrink, and sauces are watered down yet, prices go higher. Guess that's the new normal. Could handle higher prices if quality did not change.”
“My first experience with JK sweet cakes was for my bridal shower and it was absolutely fabulous. Ordering was super easy and they did a fantastic job with my personalized Christmas themed bridal shower cookies! I highly recommend this shop for anyone looking for custom baked goods. The cookies also tasted delicious!”

“Food is always good. I've yet to have them get an order wrong. The staff are all friendly. It's normally busy when I go, but the wait is never long and they still get your order and prepare the food quickly.”
“While I'm going to keep this short, it's only because I'm tired! But Ashley our waitress was amazing! She helped relay what I was after perfectly when it came to cooking my bacon.. and Chirs cooked it all to perfection, litterally my top waffle house experience.. coming from someone who eats WH 3x a week.. wish I lived here just to come back tomorrow!I'd like to add that litterally everything was perfect! Even the waffle that seems to always been undercooked elsewhere was litterally perfect ?”
“Staff was incredibly friendly, food was quick and hot. I think my waiters name was Amber, for sure an A name, but she had really good lashes and blonde hair and she was incredible- the cook with her was also very friendly. My friend and I had a great time.”
“To the short haired blonde lady that whipped me up a blueberry butter pecan iced latte today, you were so nice and made the best coffee ever!! Thank you for being helpful and offering to throw me together a special drink”
“We haven't eaten here in years. It is was pretty good even tho I live like 10 mins away I went to my own food. Still was warm by the time I got home. Oh I had little dog with me they let me pick my order up in The drive thru that was great. ”
“Best McDonald's in America. Customer service is off the chain and my food and drinks are always fresh. Everyone smiles and treats you like a human and nit a number. Ty!”
“Normally quick food service usually fresh but often times they overlook small details like giving you your food but leave you waiting for your frappe so an off duty employee gets it for you .. I appreciate that and she deserves a raise don't know your name but blind hair and glasses you were clocked out and served me anyway now that's customer service”

Keva Juice
“Stopped by with my sister and got some smoothies. They were yummy. The staff was friendly and helpful. My only complaint would be that the presentation of the cups could be better. It’s not a big deal but it didn’t inspire me to take pictures of my smoothie. But the smoothie itself was pretty good.”
“Had dinner here the other night. The Outlaw Ribeye is scrumptious. Both the hubs and I ordered it with just some minor changes (meat temp and sides). This steak is good for dinner tonight and tomorrow. By the time you eat a salad, half of a potato and half a steak, you are not feeling deprived.We got on the wait-list before we left home. We drove from the next town over, so timing was good. It's worth the drive and the money.”

“I ordered a fried fish and it was too fried... but the very kind waitress changed it for me and I loved that. So I ordered tacos and they were a very good size, all deliciousKid-friendliness: There is a variety for children too.”

“Found this place and stepped for lunch Best Smoked Chicken I've ever had! My husband had the Brisket-top notch too! The food was so good we went back that evening for their pizza! If you are anywhere near-stop on on. You will not be disappointed!”
“Some people have never had good BBQ to know what to compare it to. I was stationed in Texas almost 4 years. I've been all around the world and there is no place like home. But since being home I've tried Brisket near and far , to always be let down. every BBQ joint claims to have the best.. If you want the best Brisket , drop what your doing and go see these guys. If your at work turn on Alan Jackson's it's five o'clock somewhere and go. You'll find melt in your mouth Brisket and your supporting local.”
“Safe space for the multiply marginalized, Queer, Disabled, NeroDelicious etc. Plus, the food is amazing! The staff super friendly and the atmosphere laid back although it can get quite stimulating if you're Au/DHD.”
“I wish I could remember our server's name.. she was so awesome.. really knew the menu, gave great suggestions and was just so around great.. prices were decent for the quality of food.. huge range of alcoholic drinks and sushi rolls.. will be going back.. also the asian snack vending machine is ”
“Absolutely everything is so good! We are so lucky to have this wonderful restaurant in our area!We have friends and family that live in 2 of the biggest cities in this country and they all want Yongs when the visit!!”
“I just went to Bella Vita for the first time. I have lived in Johnson City for 24 years and can't believe I never tried this restaurant before. It was fabulous. We will be back.”
“Excellent! I got the roast, potatoes & onions & mashed potatoes, husband got the schnitzel, potatoes & onions & potato salad. Great service, huge portions (we probably should've split one meal). Plenty to take home and eat later. Excited to go back!”
“I always, always, always enjoy the grub at White Duck Taco.If I could suggest one thing to any newcomer... try the tacos as they have crafted them on the menu..The combination of ingredients may be so strange to you, but trust the experts.. The combination of those seemingly random ingredients are about to take your taste buds on a ride that no other taco has before..”
“A perfect place to get any Italian dish. The food was amazing and the service was even better. Pricing was shockingly cheap given how nice the restaurant is and how delicious the food was. Tiramisu is to die for. Would definitely recommend eating here.”
“Did some research on where to eat while heading back home from a vacation at Gatlinburg. Checked online reviews and food/menu pictures reviewers posted for many restaurants and decided on this one. So glad we did. We all loved what we got. 6 year old got fried tofu, dad got his favorite crab rangoons (and liked them) and ping siin moo, and I got red curry with tofu. We also got 2 of their desserts to go (haven’t eaten them yet but assuming they’re going to be great, too). Such a pleasant stop for our lunch. Wish we had this restaurant in our home town, too. Oh, the guava candy they gave us with the check was amazing as well - going to order some from Amazon! Also, the restaurant is next to bunch of businesses with plenty of parking.”
“Some of the best food I've had since moving to Tennessee from SoCal. I recommend their garlic soy ginger sauce with a side of broccolini. Their chicken and banana pudding are also amazing! We will definitely be regulars there.”
“Mona Lisa has the best gelato period. My wife and I were on vacation recently and tried gelato from two different places that were supposed the best for gelato, they didn't even compare to Mona Lisa's. Plus, they're a local, small business and we enjoy spending our money with friendly, local business.”
“From out of town and stopped for lunch. The gentleman running the place was the absolute sweetest man ever. Food was so good. It is an adorable place with a lot of potential. The service and food were worth the stop.”
“I wish there were more games for the kids, but they all had fun. I definitely LOVE the new Photo Booth, it lets you take a group picture while standing at the back of the booth together! I’m a bit disappointed that they no longer serve adult beverages at this location Kid-friendliness: Love the kid check”
“The food was delicious. I got there big wave burrito and something that was fried balls with octopus. Both very good. Only problem is that the girls there make you feel like they don't want you to be there and wouldn't speak up so I couldn't hear them.”

Cafe One 11
“The outside fooled me, but as soon as you walk in, it opens up to a very elegant dining area. Most people dressed up, but some dressed down as well and it was acceptable. There were a lot of people by 6:30 and food came out quick. I ordered the spicy Thai basil chicken and the spice was perfect. Not too spicy, but not too sweet either. The crab ragoons were great as well!”
“Overall, this is a very nice restaurant to take your friends, family members, loved ones, etc. I have always heard that if you want to go somewhere nice, then this was the spot!

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“cute place, friendly employees, awesome coffee- reminds me of DutchBros coffee ??✨?☃️❄️ bring your dogs in the drive thru, employees love it! they gave my pup whipped cream and dog ”
“The only problem I got with Pal's. Everytime I order a hamburger they ask me if I want cheese. Makes me have to repeat myself. If I wanted a cheeseburger I would ask for one.”
“Great service and delicious drinks. My unquestionable favorite place for coffee. Can't say enough about how much me and my wife love this place . Great deals too. So get signed up first thing !! You will love it too, Guaranteed!!”
“Disappointed n recent music ('cept for now 25 year old BSB) 'cas clases w "40's > "50's motif, that worked much better w that which t'WAS congruent w it!”
“Food isn’t as good as I remember but still good. It’s a drive thru so not sure atmosphere should be included. Every one is super nice and the line is generally long but quick service!”
“Meets the standards of golden corral. While some are exceptional like wildwood florida store, most are quality good food at value pricing. That's more most other brand buffets deliver. I would return to this store, I was not disapointed.”
“This review is not about the food. We already know the food is good. This review is about Chickfila as a brand. This location particularly had such a comforting and relaxing atmosphere. My day has not been the greatest but after sitting down and enjoying my meal i felt more at ease. Chickfila is more than a chicken sandwich it is comfort and peace ❤️ i love chickfila and also - I had asked one of the employees for some ketchup which was at the condiments station but he still went and got it for me even when I was told him i could grab one since it was right around the corner.”
“My experience is that the service is top notch everyone is friendly curtious, the food is always good, the staff gives me the family oriented type of vibe. This is the first store I actually look forward to going to work at. So Bojangles gets a 5 star from me no cap.”
“Great food, as usual. Unique coffee, a must have whenever I eat at TTsVegetarian options: Each rice entree allows you to choose your protein. So meat is not automatically included.”
“Buc Deli is the classic diner experience, all in a family style drive through! Delicious chicken, portions, best Cheddar rounds in the area, Friendly customer service, closed on Sundays, but definitely worth the drive through wait, huge salads, breakfast menu is my favorite! Chicken, egg and cheese on wheat toast all the way is a great way to start your day!Ask for the Lisa for a gluten free Delicious lunch!Dietary restrictions: Try the Lisa, grilled chicken with cheese, cucumbers with ranch on the side!”
“They did a great job and had wonderful service. My only recommendation to for the employees to explain or mention what toppings come with your order or lack there of. For those of us who are not regular customers it can help to makd sure we get something wd want how we want it. Thank you very much!”
“One of the most consistently good fast food restaurants, Pals delivers on it's sudden service promise with a smile. I had them for breakfast today and spent $12 and 5 minutes tops in the line, and my food stayed warm while I made my commute to work. Compared to McDonald's where I spent $16 on the same type of food, with a discount, and spent 20+ minutes in line the other day, it's a big difference.Kid-friendliness: Simplistic meals with a very generous and easily customized menu. While I don't personally have a kid, I bet it would be a winner with most families.”
“I had a wonderful experience. I had the stuffed shells with shrimp and i was amazing. The customer service was also very nice. I believe the lady that helped me, name was Jacque she was nice and so helpful. All around great experience!!!”
“This restaurant has great service and great food! Every time I've been here, the staff has been super friendly. The chicken salad variety makes it easy for everyone to find what they like. I haven't tasted a bad one yet. You can try the flavors before you order so you can find which one you like best. They even have a rewards program for free chicken salad after reaching enough points. Highly recommend this restaurant!”
“I don't think there's a "bad" Chick-fil-A anywhere. We love this one even though it's in the Mall. Workers are pleasant and they have a real good Manager.”
“If you are in or around the Johnson City area you’re gonna have to try this. I’ve had 3 different things off the menu so far and they are all outstanding. There is simply no replacement for quality food prepared perfectly and these folks have that.The Angry Pig was my runaway favorite…so far!!!Enjoy!!!”
“Main Street Pizza is a great place to host a group event! Elise made the planning and reservation process so smooth, and our server Madison was outstanding. Our group had a terrific time and enjoyed the food. I look forward to visiting again soon.”
“Do you want restaurant quality sushi in the comfort of your own home? Just go here. This is the ONLY grocery store sushi I will ever eat and I have yet to be disappointed.”
Cheap Eats
“Went in for specific pastry but they do not make. And the supply was short as it was late in the day, just before closing. I picked a couple items and had coffee made. Got home and the pastries were delightful! Great visit as the two gents working the counter were very pleasant and most helpful. Glad I found this establishment!!”
“What a gem, just south of downtown Johnson City! Amazing ice cream creations and, my fave, Shave Ice! The syrups aren't sickening-sweet, making for a truly refreshing treat. And the owner is so nice. I guarantee you'll find something for everyone's sweet tooth here!”
“This place is so good! The sushi isn't the best I've ever had, but it's still really good. Everything my family and I ordered over the weekend was absolutely fantastic! So fresh, piping hot, and quick to receive! The service is wonderful. We love it here and plan on coming back to try something new each time.”
“Great brewery. Their other location is down in Johnson City. Inside and outside seating. Dog friendly. Lots of area outside to let kids play. Great beer. Has a variety for all taste buds. I had their IPA and it was delicious. The husband had the quad and it was great as well. They have food trucks that come for food and snacks sold inside.Free parking.”
“I go here all the time. It is such a gorgeous cafe and the woman who owns this coffee shop is so inspiring. She’s so young and you can tell how hard she has worked to open her wonderful business. I have never ever had a bad drink here and all the employees are very sweet. Love blues brews ”
“We read the other reviews so we figured we would give it a try and our tummies are full, kids and I are happy, we ate our pizza ? up, the kids enjoyed the spaghetti and the side salad was great ?! I love their ranch too!”
“Great local brewery! Great selection that will appeal to all who visit. The way they offer new flavors often is what makes them unique compared to most breweries. Great flavor profiles across the board. Great to see a regional cider on the board as well.The service from cade was fantastic. Very knowledgeable about the company and the brews. Very warm and inviting service from start to finish.”
“This is a great little diner with good food, great customer service, and family owned. My mother in law and I came here for a bite to eat and were not disappointed! I highly recommend this place to everyone! I will be coming back without a doubt.Parking: Small diner= limited parking”
“One of the first things I noticed was portions are a sensible size. The food is so good, it would seem a shame to eat it too quickly. The coffee was really good, the servers were friendly, respectful, and seemed to CARE about their food interactions with customers. These are the most important things to me. The coffee was excellent too, which is rare, you usually get one or the other. Highly recommend.”
“Food was good, it felt very pricey. It wasn't quite my atmosphere to enjoy a family dinner, but everyone else that was there appeared to be having a great time. The band was great. We only heard the "sound check" song, but it was very good.”
“We always enjoy Cootie Brown’s campus location. Fantastic servers and great food. Great for small or large party of guests. We also love that they use the text notifications so you can wait in your car on the chilly days. Everything I’ve had here is good. But my favorite go-to meal is their Key Lime Chicken, which I get with the honey roasted sweet potatoes and roasted artichoke sautéed spinach. They have a huge menu and lots to choose from for everyone’s different tastes. Highly recommend.”
“I absolutely love this place. It is timeless, and a sort of best kept secret for amazing acts. It is also a truly intimate experience for audience and performers alike. They have good beers there too!!!”
“Seat yourself, be prepared to freeze while you eat. Wait staff was young and attentive, would like to see them in a uniform of sorts not shorts and yoga pants. My dad voted a 4 for tastiness and flavor, coffee was hot fresh, he would go back and says way better then the chain CB down the road. Hubby says he likes it and scored it a four. My mom rates is as a 4. Now let’s get down to business, I thought the brown gravy was slightly pasty and the pancakes were missing something.The hash-browns were cooked with perfection and for sure if I go back I’ll just ask for them to make me a potato bowl. I was however surprised as we walked out to peep inside the fridge and the amount of condiment bottle blew me away. That’s one thing that scares me personally how does one keep track of when they opened it if there were no labels with dates.The mamaw in back with a kitchen towel around her neck made me feel right at home, however each person keeps house differently, keep that in mind before you judge.You will need to ask for a knife they don’t give those out, must have something to do with the location.”
“Absolutely amazing food!! I am gluten free and I recently ate at an Aubrey's. I had the gluten free rooster grill and it was the best sandwich I have ever had, even compared with sandwiches I had when I was not gluten free. Most gluten free bread ranges from kinda disgusting to tolerable but the bun here was amazing. It tastes like real bread and I had to check and make sure that I got the gluten free option. I will definitely eat here again and recommend it to all my gluten free friends.Dietary restrictions: There is a decent amount of gluten free options. You can also get most things dairy free if you take off the cheese. The staff are very accommodating and knowledgeable, so if you have other dietary restrictions you should definitely ask them.”
“I just moved to Johnson city from Chicago and although nothing compares to chicago pizza- the staff at this restaurant was great. We ordered a pizza and had it delivered by door dash but found out our pizza had pork on it and I cannot eat pork- the manager of the store was really nice and accommodating with fixing the issue. Just for that interaction I will definitely be giving this place another try in the future.”

“First time going, but won't be the last. The seafood is fresh and the servings are large. The bartender made the best whiskey sours. Definitely a restaurant I would recommend.”
“My husband and I went for our anniversary. A wonderful experience, food and staff were amazing. Definitely a special treat because of the price but worth every dime.My favorites were the picanha,, flank steak and Parmesan pork. The salad bar was almost too pretty to eat but very delicious and high quality food! Thank you to all who helped us have a wonderful anniversary experience!”

“After a HORRIBLE experience at YeeHaw brewing we found Great Oak/Southern Craft. What a life saver! The staff was friendly and charming, all the ladies seemed to work hard and FAST. We got our food so quick, which was great after a cruddy experience. I wish I could remember our waitresses name but she had long light brunette hair in a ponytail and she couldn’t have been for efficient. Our water never ran out, the beers were great and the food EVEN BETTER! I think the manager stopped by too, and she was just as kind and helpful(: The portions were large, hot and tasty! Sauces weren’t half bad! Definitely suggest the wings (our waitress suggested the fire apple and she was right on the money) and my husband loved his half chicken. We were full all the way back to West Virginia lolHighly suggest giving Great Oak Brewing/Southern Craft your business in the area!”
“The only good thing about this whole COVID paranoia is that they stopped that stupid business of checking your membership ID before entering the store. I left Costco because of the same business practice. Can you believe they tried saying it was for my safety? Unbelievable.”
“My spouse and I go to the Dining Hall often. They have great food and are clean and safe. I would recommend this place if you are trying to have a healthy meal. You can eat not healthy too, but there healthy food is good as well.”

“I am always reluctant to eat at chain restaurants due to not knowing how long the food has been frozen and not having the fresh taste.The Johnson City TN location exceeded my expectations. Everything tasted amazing! As a former server I kind of have high standards. Our server was phenomenal. We did not need to ask for anything. She was intuitive and brought refills, extra bread sticks and boxes.”
“First visit at this Texas Roadhouse location in Johnson City Tennessee. Love this chain restaurant because it's pretty consistent on the quality of the food and service by all of the staff that work there. The go to order for the wife and I is the appetizer/starter of fried pickles with a side of their awesome ranch dressing. Our entree order was the smokehouse burger with fries that's big enough for us to split. Everything came out exactly as we ordered and left us knowing that we weren't going to be eating anything heavy that evening at home. Looking forward to our next visit at this restaurant already.”
“This was my first real meal after major surgery. My wife and I got takeout from here on our way home. The food was good quality for a reasonable price. I will say my sandwich was good but the bite I took of my wife's was better. So I know what to order next time lol. Also the bacon cheese fries alone were worth the stop. We will be stopping in again the next time we're in town.”
“I have been looking for pizza comparable to this place in Knoxville for 2 years today I was going to get lunch and drove past Greg's pizza decided to stop and get a pizza and wings I am so happy I did. The gentlemen that were working were very nice. Spoke to me as soon as I walked in the door. We got different toppings on both halves and the man that cut it made sure it was cut in the right spot. This is the pizza I have been searching for. The cheese pull the perfect sauce crust cooked to perfection you have a lifetime customer I'll drive the 35 minutes to eat there twice a week thank you for being the perfect pizza❤️❤️Parking: Plenty of parking space. Some close to the door rest not to far awayWheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp into the building and they will bring your order out if you need them to.”
“Cafe Lola has a great atmosphere, food, and service. It’s one of my favorite spots, and I’m so glad it’s in the tri-cities! We mostly have dinner there, but I LOVE their brunch and special events like wine pairings or teas.”

“So nice to have a change of pace with a fresh salad that is really a meal. The selection is huge. And, they have a wide selection of dressings. Eat there or carry out and eat somewhere different.Vegetarian options: Any questions, ask your server. They know the answer, or will find out for you.”
“The coffee was great, and the Beignets and sandwiches were soooo tempting. We had a scheduled breakfast meeting though and had to stick with the coffee. We will go back if we end up coming through town again.”
“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!!!”
“Found this place and stepped for lunch Best Smoked Chicken I've ever had! My husband had the Brisket-top notch too! The food was so good we went back that evening for their pizza! If you are anywhere near-stop on on. You will not be disappointed!”
“This place is special! This place is spectacular! If you really know food, you will definitely appreciate this unique and outstanding establishment.

“The carrot cake is the best hands down !!! How often do you have them ??? Are they ever the mystery cookie of the week ??? I soooo wanted one on my birthday but it was offered the week before :(”
“We went to this restaurant with our daughter and her boyfriend for the first time. Had a delicious lunch of 10 vegetable fried rice and cubahn mi. They had the Birria tacos and drunken noodles. Wow. Everything was so good. Thoroughly enjoyed the mimosas as well. Would recommend this place to anyone. Such a beautiful and comfortable restaurant. Great service.”
“You guys have a real advocate in Kristin, a dental hygienist at Simple Smiles, just down the street. We talked about what foods we like, and she insisted I give you a try! She was right, I got a Paco, and it was great! Your online ordering is very easy, and despite the road construction you weren’t hard to figure out. I can’t wait to be in Johnson City again so I can try something else. You rock!”

“The N roan st location is good. I’ll give them that. Sometimes the front is hateful when getting a Togo order corrected even if it wasn’t any fault of your own. I dined in and had a better experience at the other location next to ETSU. Con queso dip and chips are 10/10!! Also the taco salad with black beans is so phenomenal. My go to for lunch or dinner.”
“Excellent! I got the roast, potatoes & onions & mashed potatoes, husband got the schnitzel, potatoes & onions & potato salad. Great service, huge portions (we probably should've split one meal). Plenty to take home and eat later. Excited to go back!”
“I have a severe food allergy to all things pork. I always try to talk to the kitchen to see if it’s possible for me to order a burger and still be safe. I really don’t want to have to use my Epipen. This place had me speak to the chef and the manager to make sure my food would be cooked safe enough for me. My burger was so good - sans fries (fries could be contaminated). My dinner was excellent! I’m so happy! I had a burger out! I will be back barring any incident that may occur later this evening. I will let you know if anything happens! Please go here and eat. So good!”

“My family eats here about once a week and I have to say it is amazing! We’ve been waiting a long time for an authentic Mexican restaurant and Costa Chica does not disappoint! The food is delicious and the service is wonderful. We are so impressed with the server, Michael. He’s very professional, attentive and so polite.If you haven’t tried it, do yourself a favor and check it out!PS- Michael ALWAYS interacts with our daughter who rarely speaks to any adults (tweens!). He’s the best!!10/10 :)”
“WOW! This new place is incredible! We are so glad we found it and can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu. Both the food and the service were exceptional, making our lunch a truly fantastic experience. Tiffany was super nice, helpful and attentive….all the qualities of a great server that’s hard to find these days. We tried the fresh rolls, egg rolls, potstickers, orange chicken and pad ka prow. All were the best we’d ever had, no joke. 10 stars!!! Thank you and we’ll see you again soon!”
“Y'all don't listen to Emily Moore's review.Something tells me she was mad about something else and took it out on this place that has NOT even OPENED yet.I think she needs a warm bath and a friend to talk to.
