32 Best American Restaurants near Piney Flats

“Food is great! However to have a restaurant so cold your shivering while eating is not acceptable. We asked waitress multiple times for heat and was told they aren’t allowed to adjust it. Then when I was paying was asked “how was everything?” I said it woulda been great with some heat in the building! Winter months ppl won’t return if it’s warmer outside in 40 degrees vs inside the building.Turn on/up the heat so customers can enjoy the food they are paying for“

“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!“

“My family ate breakfast there for the first time and the food was phenomenal! Service was great. We ordered a half order of sausage gravy and biscuits to try and oh my, the biscuits were moist and the gravy was perfect. My wife and I ordered omelet's and they were so cheesy as well as large! Mine was the supreme one and the amount of ingredients will blow your mind. The breakfast potatoes were the perfect size and crispness. We could barely eat all our food. Well worth the money we spent which was not a lot! You want a great place to eat for breakfast or supper this is the place. It’s clean and they are fast! We have had supper there twice as well.“

“One of my favorite restaurants in Johnson City! Everything I’ve tried here is absolutely delicious and the service is wonderful as well (I ordered take out tonight and they brought my order out before I could even call to let them know I was there!). They also have one of the best wine lists of any restaurant I’ve been to in the area. Will happily return again and again ❤️“

“I've only been here once but plan to go back! I had a few beers and pizza. The pizza was alright and that's the only reason for the 4 stars on food. I ended up playing darts most of the evening and had a great time. Justin, the manager, is an awesome guy and made me feel very welcome. The people that were there are friendly and the place is open and clean, also non smoking. I look forward to going back again soon!“

“My first visit. I was kinda impressed. It's like a little store with a restaurant in it. I got take out. I didn't have to wait very long that was a plus. They have a daily special so it kinda help me to decide what to get. I thought the soup beans need more salt but that wasn't a big deal. I will definitely go back.“

“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.“

“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.“

“In town on business, Stopped to have a beer next door at Yee Haw. This place is connected so very convenient. Left my barstool walked into next room ordered a steak taco, fish taco, and something else with some spice. They give you a number and come deliver it. Food delivered in timely manner. Each taco was delicious. You can tell all the choices are going to be good. For a casual beer/ food experience, this is what I enjoy!“

“Went for my Birthday dinner...food was fantastic..most had burgers...we also had chicken sandwich, chicken dinner and trout... rabbit, salad and ice cream for dessert... Iris was our server. Roads are ripped up for repairs, so you need to go up allies to get there..nice sitting area outside... restroom was nice and clean.. I'd definitely return.. great job everyone.“

“I have eaten here many times and had the majority of the items on the menu and have never had anything but excellent food. The staff are always friendly and efficient and the beverages are always cold or mixed right. Great atmosphere that's drama free and free from trouble. If someone gets out of hand they are asked to leave. Awesome place for lunch, dinner and an evening out with family and friends. Highly recommend“

“The food was great..would have been better if everything on the plate had been warm. Servers were working their tails off to get to everyone. We went on a Tuesday for lunch.."Turkey Tuesday", the place was packed. Hire some more help and it would be perfect.“

“This is this place is what's commonly known as a hidden gem but it shouldn't be hidden more people should know about this amazing place for live music from Ed the owner on down to the rest of the staff It's an amazing venue and atmosphere to listen to and enjoy live music and they have a pretty good Tex-Mex menu as well highly recommend“

“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.“

“Went to Audrey’s with a couple of friends for lunch. We all ordered salads. Two were the Asian salad and I ordered the strawberry salad. Everything was excellent, including our server Haley. You would’ve thought that we were the only table she had. She took care of us extremely well. Has a super personality, and very attentive. I definitely recommend this restaurant. Oh and by the way the salads were great. Very filling delicious with delicious dressings and couldn’t be any better.“

“It's a wonderful place for a quick stop for takeout, or a good place to sit down at alone to get some peace and quiet, or a nice place to go with your family at one of their inside or outside tables and have wonderful conversation with the staff, the locals, and especially your family. They are quick, yet thorough. The BBQ pulled pork or beef is delicious, and my favorite dish is that with their cheddar rounds! They DO CLOSE FAIRLY EARLY, but their breakfasts are even more delicious than their lunches, because they have true homemade, hand-made biscuits AND gravy!!!“

“I ordered boneless wings which was very very good. Bartender Sarah was great good drinks and server. We was there April 15 24 My wife and I will definitely be back we came from Ohio to visit family. So please with service food and drinks.“

“Even though all pals has really un healthy foods they still hit different with there fries with that seasoning ? those burgers are AMAZING and they make the nicest and fresh food and you should also try there PATTY MELT❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Busy all the time. Watch the YouTube video Ginger Billy takes friend to cracker barrel.Wheelchair accessibility: 100% wheelchair accessible (I move my cousin all over easily, but the shopping area has a few tight spaces). The people who work at this lication care so much I could never gratify them enough.“

“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.“

“This is the best breakfast in the world!!!!! You can't beat the quality of the food here. The amount of food you get for the price is unreal! You will not be disappointed if you give them a try!Kid-friendliness: It's just like home. Everyone is very friendly .Wheelchair accessibility: No steps to worry about.“

“Ok so my husband and I went there with my Father In Law for Thanksgiving 2023. It was unbelievable and very packed with people who know that Golden Coral always has the best and most yummiest food for a buffet style restaurant.Even though it was packed and there was literally a long line going outside of the building they were still getting people in to eat and enjoy their Thanksgiving with their family and friends.The food was unbelievably yummy and hot and fresh and they had so many choices of yummy food to choose from!!!And we didn't feel rushed to eat and get out...We actually sat down and enjoyed our food. Which was amazing.The poor servers were running around like chickens with their heads cut off. I felt bad for them because they looked so tired...And yes my husband and I and my father in law left our server a good tip. :)No matter when we go to Golden Coral they always have such hot and yummy food just waiting for us to dig in!!Yes it may be a little expensive to eat at, but honestly you are more than definitely getting your money's worth!!If I could I would go there at least once a week..but whenever we do go there it's always a treat to us.If you want to go somewhere and be able to sit down and eat some very yummy and hot and delicious food then head to Golden Coral...even if you have a huge family you will not leave hungry!! And they can fit everyone of your family members and friends!!!Vegetarian options: Well they have plenty of fresh veggies and fruits and veggie dishes!Parking: Parking especially during a holiday, like Thanksgiving or Christmas is all and I mean always packed!So if you want to go there to eat with your family and friends then make sure to get there early!!And be prepared to wait in line especially if it's a holiday. If not then you should be able to get in without having to wait.Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly. They even have a kid's menu. And they have the buffet to choose from!Wheelchair accessibility: It's definitely wheelchair accessible. And I believe that there are also wheelchair accessible tables.Very wheelchair friendly. Very easy to be able to get into an out of.“

“I absolutely love this family owned restaurant. We are very happy to visit every time we're in Johnson City.The food is great, with generous portion sizes and very tasty meat.Our server was very kind and the owners are really friendly. We were very happy to chat with them.I wish they sold Coke products, but that's my only complaint.Other than that, it was the perfect meal.“

“Cafe Lola has a great atmosphere, excellent food, and attentive service. It’s one of my favorite spots! We typically go for dinner, but I LOVE the brunch and any chance I get to go to one of their special events like wine pairings or a tea.“

“Outstanding as always! My favorite Seafood restaurant anywhere. I spend lots of time in Florida but wait until I return to Tennessee and Harbor House for Seafood. There are probably better restaurants in Florida but I have never found them. P.S , I was born in West Palm Beach and spent over 40 years there.“

“Honestly a great Waffle House location. Been here twice within a couple of weeks because my Fiance and I have a habit of having breakfast/brunch out on our days off together. Had the idea to do Waffle House since it had been a long time for either of us, and it hit the spot! So much so that we came back again the following week. It's simple food but always good. Employees have been nice each time so far. I'm sure we'll be back again soon!“

“The food was delicious. My server was excellent and the atmosphere was great. Everything about Cracker Barrell was great. The only thing is I had to drive 45 minutes to a hour to Cracker Barrell. I wish there was one closer to where I live.“

“This is a quaint spot with good home cooking. You can't beat the price. It is not what you would expect if you are not a local. So if you are from the city, then I can not give this spot 5 stars for you. But if you are from the country, this is a 5 star spot. Grab a drink from the cooler, go to the counter to place your order and have a seat. We stopped in for dollar hot dog day.Parking: We found parking in front and walked right in. Would be easy access for a wheelchair.“

“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 ?“

“Good food. I love their double blueberry pancakes! I didn't love the slice of ham I got with it, It had too much fat in it, but that is purely personal preference. Our server was attentive and friendly. I don't really feel one way or the other about the atmosphere.“

“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. And she can't spell Town or Pennies correctly. This has been my public service announcement. Peace and Love.“

“First time ever eating here today and I got their cheese bread ? and grilled ? ? tenders with fries, and I must say I am pleasantly surprised with how good the food is. The scenery there out back on the dock with the boats ⛵ is breathtaking as well. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!!!!“
