What an amazing first visit while staying nearby at the Sessions Hotel! We're so glad we took the…read morerecommendation because this place was incredible. We kicked things off with chips and queso, then ordered the Smoked Turkey salad and the brisket sandwich with tots and wow! Every bite was phenomenal. The brisket sandwich with the jam was an unreal combo, and the salad was packed with flavor (and plenty of meat). The restaurant itself is adorable, with tons of indoor seating, a bar, super cute outdoor space, and great TVs. The staff was incredibly sweet and accommodating, which made the experience even better. Bonus: you can make reservations ahead of time on Resy. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so there's always a reason to stop by. Can't wait to come back and work our way through more of the menu next time we're in town!

Super friendly staff. Fast fresh service. I ordered the catfish, grits, and slaw. I feel like they need a stronger sauce option for tarter or hot sauce the bbq sauce options didn't do it for me. The catfish was lightly breaded and not too heavy. I did snag a bite of the brisket and it was excellent. Definitely check it out if you are in the area.

I'd try this place again and opt for something different. The pizza was thin crust and pretty hard. The Rueben was okay. Just kind of a filling and large meal but not particularly delicious.

I love their pulled pork sandwich, chicken plates and their food has always been fresh and just delicious. In 27 years of going there I have NEVER had a menu pick that wasn't very tasty or poor service. I was a high school music teacher and corporate pilot for 20 years and know what bad food and poor service really are! In addition to their great food I love their Thursday night karaoke. As a pilot who has traveled the world I always tried to find the best karaoke bars in wherever I was spending the night. I've been to karaoke bars from Oslo, Norway to Athens, Greece. Hundreds! Looking for the best karaoke bars in town that also serve food. And what I found and come to the conclusion was that State Line, in GOOD OLD BRISTOL TENNESSEE, has the best KARAOKE shows along with the BEST FOOD that could be found around the world. My apologies for this long missive. I'm retired now, my rabbits foot had no more hair on it, and have an armful of grand babies to entertain!

We were in town visiting the area with friends. They took us to Borderline Billiards (see their…read moreown review), and wanted to get some lunch. State line bar and grill is just a few doors down. This grill, it appears, to be in a converted warehouse space. It is likely the whole block was a warehouse which was sectioned into separate commercial properties. It has 20' ceilings with tin ceiling tiles and nice industrial wood flooring. They have live music and karaoke nights. They have a nice selection of food. Seafood, burgers, quesadillas, wings, salads, wraps ... I tried their mushroom Swiss burger which was huge, juicy and delicious. I needed to cut it in half to figure a way to attack it and a lot of napkins. A fun fact: it is the State line grill because it is in Bristol TN but you cross the street and you are in Bristol VA! If you are in the area, I highly recommend stopping in to try it out.

We stopped in on a weeknight and almost thought this spot was closed because there were no…read morecustomers. But then, we walked by on a night when there was live music and the place was packed. So, the customer base is there! Ordering is done at the counter and it was easy enough to do so. The person at the front also clued me in when I mentioned that there were cheese grits on the online menu. Apparently they don't have them on the in-house menu because they only sometimes have them made. It was my lucky day- so I got the cheese grits, the corn, mac & cheese, and fries. I loved the spice level on the corn- not too much but enough for real flavor to come through. The fries were good- and the portion was huge. I could have easily shared and walked away with a pretty heavy to-go box. The cheese grits and mac & cheese were lukewarm, but I didn't correct the problem, so that's on me. Both the mac & cheese were good, but not great- the cheese grits needed a flavor punch. The mac & cheese noodles had gone a little too soft, so the texture was a little off (flavor was on point though). I did love the blue cheese dip and chips appetizer. The portion was hearty and it is definitely a sharing app! There were things like straws, napkins, and a to-go box where we did have to go seek out the front counter staff. I think it was meant to be self-service, but the things we needed weren't out and we didn't get checked on. So, that part was a little confusing. I think that they just needed to restock their self service area a bit and hadn't yet. Overall, solid spot! I would pop in again for sure!

I ordered the BBQ pork sandwich with a side of fries and a soft drink. The soda I got must've been low on carbon bc it was awful. I rinsed my cup and got sweet tea instead. I only like super sweet tea and this should've had an octane rating lol. When my food arrived my initial thought was that the fries were huge. Unfortunately my BBQ sandwich wasn't as warm as it could've been but I never said anything. The fries were so fluffy inside I could've eaten a pound of them. Like I said it was dead in there that night but if there had been live music it would've been packed. Staff were nice, place was clean, and had a great vibe.
