“My husband and I decided to try this little hole in the wall Chinese restaurant. We were treated by a super friendly guy who we learned is the owner. We had zero expectations when we sat down. The food was very well priced and I loved that you could order off the menu instead of just buffet as I can only eat a half a cup of food or liquid at a time. The food came out and it was amazing. We were shocked at how fresh and wonderful everything was. If you haven’t eaten here please do!”

“Just a heads up! When I googled Italian Village BRISTOL it brought up another local pizzeria. Long story short, I ordered my pizza at the wrong location. HOWEVER.....when I walked into Italian Village BRISTOL, they were quick to help me get my order in and under the time they stated. Pizza we ordered was delicious and we can't wait to do business again with Italian Village BRISTOL! (For inquiring minds, I did call the other pizza company and apologetically cancel my order without any issues!)”

“We stopped in just as you all were closing today after celebrating my birthday down the street at stir fry. The girl working was still so friendly and nice even though they closing any minute. She showed me what cupcakes they had left and I picked out half a dozen. The shop was soooo cute and refreshing. She was so friendly! We were able to walk down to a table outside downtown and enjoy cupcakes and they were AMAZING! We will be back! The kind, positive customer service was such a breath of fresh air! Thank you so much for the wonderful cupcakes and service today!”

“5 stars – A True Hidden Gem in Colonial Heights!

Zachary’s Steakhouse is more than just a place to eat—it’s a place where you feel like family the moment you walk through the door. On our recent visit, the owner, Yared Desalegn, was personally in the kitchen preparing our Philly cheesesteak sandwiches, and they were absolutely delicious. I started with their vegetable beef soup, which was rich and flavorful—perfectly seasoned and served piping hot.

We also ordered the onion rings after seeing a photo of them on the front of the building, and we were not disappointed—they were hands-down the best onion rings I’ve ever had: crispy, golden, and flavorful without that overly strong onion taste.

Yared came out to speak with us after we ate and even took a photo with me at our table. He’s not only an excellent chef and host, but also a pillar of the community. He owns Colonial Heights Hardware next door and has gone out of his way—literally opening the hardware store for us on a closed day—to help us when we were in need.

This is the kind of place where the owner remembers your name, the food tastes like it came from your grandma’s kitchen, and the service is second to none. Zachary’s is a true local treasure, and we’ll absolutely be back.

Highly recommended!

—Phillip Glover”

“I never really have anything negative to say about Pal's. The food is always hot and fast and the sweet tea is always cold and fresh. If you've never had Pal's before and you live in the East Tennessee area, what are you waiting on? Stop by any of their locations and try a sauceburger or a Big Pal burger and never forget those wonderful fries!”

“One of my favorite places although I may be a little partial”

“I do not know what it is about this place, but I always keep coming back for more. The chicken, veggies, sweet carrots…it’s all so so good! It looks sketchy from the outside, but hop in that drive thru lane and you’ll find kind employees ready to serve you!”

“This is a great place had reservations somewhere else, there were problems at this other place, called LA Carreta last minute and they said come on over we will take care of all of you, we had 16 in our party.”

“I love this place. RedRum Mc's Holston River Chapter comes in on occasion and sets at the bar. Every single time we are there, we get the best service. My husband and I also come without the Chapter and it's always so good. Shout out to the bar tender who serves us and the cook! Knocking it out!!”

This location has great staff members ❤️”

“Couldn't sleep so my wife and I went to Waffle House for breakfast. Food was good, price was good and service was even better!”

“This is the absolute best place to get a gluten free sub! It's also rare to have that around here. Besides Dominos with a gluten free pizza, your choices are limited. I recommend going to see them today. Food is delicious here. I chose to get oil & vinegar with my veggie sub. The spices add an extra hint of flavor. It stays busy so that's a downside. You'll have to wait a while sometimes. However, if you have allergies, it's worth it. Staff are friendly.”

“Used to eat here years ago ( 30) this place was great then. I ate here again today and it is still just like it was back in the '80's. Thanks for bringing back memories.”

“awesome place to hang out n hve fun”

“I love this place! Atmosphere ✅ Customer service ✅ Menu variety ✅ Tasty food ✅!!!!! The Cuban sandwich is by far the best in the Tri Cities. All the staff there are so friendly and down to earth! The prices are so reasonable for what you are getting. Definitely our go to place. Forget the chain restaurants in Johnson City. I just wish they were closer but it’s worth the drive for sure.”

“Great food and atmosphere. Lunch on the terrace near the pool is wonderful.”

“Best burger & fries around! 😋”

“Quaint little place with all you can eat pizza, salad, and more. Definitely recommend the Chicken, bacon, ranch pizza! Very tasty!! Meat lovers was really good too! They even have desert pizza with apple pie, and blueberry toppings!”

“We’ve been here many times now so I figured it was time for a review and everytime it is spot on! The food is delicious and they aim to please their customers. We’ve had the subs, the pizza, the bbq, the wings, the burgers, and the salads. Never an issue. Kingsport has the best Beef O’ Brady’s hands down.”

“Had lunch at the Kingsport location. The food was good but the service was even better.. Serenity’s smile and personality were exceptional.”

“Service was overwhelmed due to the patrons there from lack of electricity with Hurricane Helene just going through the area. Our waiter was a Champ! Working our table of 6 and 5 other tables each with 4+ people. Food was slow, but that was because the restaurant was making pizzas for the local hospital ER staff while making food for dine in customers.

Kid-friendliness: There are plenty of high chairs and patient staff.”

“Had the absolute best buffalo chicken tenders today!! I’d put them up against any! Perfect buffalo sauce, the tenders were so big I could only eat 2/3 in my combo! Give them a try!!”

“What a great experience ! A friend, and I had supper here and the fried perch, broccoli, and coleslaw was fabulous. My friend, who has traveled the world and is a connoisseur of seafood, remarked more than once about the excellence of our food. Our waitress, Kim, was as fine as the food ! It's not everyday that food and service both achieve such high marks. Bravo, Fisherman's Dock of Kingsport, Tennessee !”

“We had a great time at the Pit Stop!! The bartender was an amazing person. She was very friendly and attentive. Karaoke was a blast the bartender can really sing.

“Very clean Nice employees Good food”

“My husband and I are on a road trip and after checking in to the local M6 we walked over to La Carrera for dinner. The food was delicious; the server, Theresa, was friendly, attentive, and answered our questions about the menu easily. My husband was totally impressed with the large beer he ordered... It came in a large 32 oz beer stein!”

“Food was great as it normally is decent price for the amount you get however I do want to suggest that they offer a discount for college students since the college is 2 blocks away and the majority of the daytime customers are college students”

Chicken was crispy and flavorful. Only gripe, they were kind of small to my liking. But I give them an 8.6
Bread was nice and toasty a solid 8.4
Sauces I got their signature spicy. Solid 8.8
Also got there sweet heat that sauce was amazing. I give it a 9.4
Overall experience was a solid 8.9. I will definitely come back and try other menu items. I definitely recommend this place. The only other fast food chicken joint this good is Chic Fil A.”

“We ate here on May 18th we took our son here to celebrate him graduating . We had to wait for about 30 mins but we knew that and understood. Our silverware was a little dirty, the food was delicious however when our food was brought out to our table my steak medallions wasn't ready I was told they ran out and had to cut more and it would be a few more minutes. I just got a to go box for mine. So overall the only complaint I would have would be the silverware and having to wait a little longer on my food was all. The food was amazing and our waitress was very nice. This was our sons first time eating here and he's already talking about eating there again.”

“For everyone one that wants to complain about a Nashville hot bowl make sure u also share that sauce is oil based so what does tht mean? Grease in the bowl. Stop complaining and jus get a refund or don't order it again”

“Ordered the new strawberry froze slush no strawberry flavor to it husband ordered diet coke with cherry flavor very bland waste of money”

“Every time I go here I get some kid with an attitude in the window. Always a different kid and one time they made me wait outside for them to bring me my order for over 10 minutes and there's no one behind me but Arby's always has good food and they managed to do it right.”

“Food was cold. Chicken was dry and the breading was hard. Slaw tasted like it was just cabbage and mayo. Of course we were there close to closing time so maybe that was why. Normally the chicken is awesome. The tea was really good as always.”

“Love that they brought back the buffet! Always good!”

“Make sure your lid is on your coffee! Lost a whole cup of coffee in our car. So glad it wasn't a large! Wake up wraps were perfect.
