Came for breakfast with my parents, left after a cup of coffee. The thing is, we were lured in by…read moretheir expansive menu, hoping for a good, filling, southern breakfast. But when we arrived, right after they opened on a Sunday morning, we were told that they only serve "what we refer to as 'brunch' on Sundays", and were handed paper menus with five items on it. Slightly confused, hoping we could still order off of their main menu, we waited for the waitress to return with our coffee (three Americanos and one latte). And we waited. And then we waited. And we waited some more. While we waited, three other parties came in, sat down, questioned the menu, then got up and left. Had it been just us that had that reaction to the abbreviated menu, I would have voted to woman up and just stay put. I didn't want to be "those tourists" who get all riled up about something local that doesn't fit their expectations. But once we (finally!) got our coffee and asked the waitress for clarification, we realized we had to go. The menu was the menu. Their sides - which are referenced on the menu but are never explained - were lackluster for the "base" and even less impressive for the "premium" options, which of course would have cost us even more money. That, paired with the uninspired and surprisingly one-note menu just drove us right out the door. My latte was at least delightful, but that's all I can say. Also, the place was likely very clean, because we were hit by a powerful smell of disinfectant and/or cleaner when we walked in. And finally, the waitress removed my menu after she saw me taking a picture of it. She didn't touch anybody else's menu, just mine.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!…read more Recently I find myself often opting for the half/half option.(Whereby you're allowed to order 2 halves on an item ie. sandwiches, soups, salads, etc.) For instance, I got a french onion soup and chipotle chicken sandwich. Pros: - Extremely fast service (I'm always amazed by how quickly the line dwindles while waiting to order and notice how the pager goes off well before expected) - The consistent quality! (Freshly prepared items with rich tastes that never fail to exceed expectations) - Lovely ambiance. Jazzy music and brightly colored walls with modern decor create a very welcoming environment for a casual afternoon/evening dining experience - Fresh breads available for take away. They have a bakery section at which you can order which ever breads your heart desires. Cons: -Honestly cannot think of any I love frequenting this place and am looking forward to my next visit!!!

This has got to be a prank. I think I've been punk'd. I…read moreordered a 1/2 soup and 1/2 sandwich combo, a fruit bowl, and a bowl of chicken noodle soup today from Panera. We received our order and the first thing out of the bag was the fruit bowl. The pictures showed strawberries, cantaloupe, and blueberries. Picture will be posted. No strawberries and very thinly sliced cantaloupe. Then I pull out the bbq 1/2 sandwich. There is only a very tiny amount of chicken on the middle of the half sandwich. Hey they put a good amount of bbq on there. Pictures posted on this as well. If this is the amount of food you get on the sandwiches there will be one less Panera bread customer. So I called thinking surely there was a mistake. Manage says we have measuring cups for the food and it was indeed correct. They didn't have strawberries for the fruit cup so they couldn't give any. No apologies, no added other fruit or more of one of the other fruits. When I stated the chicken was only in the middle part of the sandwich she stated once again they have measuring cups for that. I surely hope Panera is not that stingy with their food that comes at premium prices.. I'm telling you if I could give it a zero I would. I ate bbq bread, thin slices of cantaloupe and a few blueberries. Soup cups 1/2 full, I can only imagine they use measuring cups for that as well.. What little circle of chicken I did eat was ok. The 1/2 cup (bowl according to them) was warm and Thank Goodness my daughter was sick because the half "bowl/cup" would not have been enough otherwise. Absolutely do not recommend and won't be back.

Portions are more than enough for me any combo chosen. My go to is usually the spud and sandwich. This round was the Caesar salad and King Club (angus beef). The food seemed to come out a lot slower than expected for there only being a few tables sat, but nonetheless, the food was filling. And a worker did come around to pick up plates once he noticed my husband was done. Overall, a decent atmosphere and experience. Much improved from last visit where half the lobby was unavailable for seating due to a catering order and chairs on tables.

We had to get in line like we were at a cafeteria and place our order and then somebody brought it out to the table but that was the extent of the service so I really can't criticize that.

Everyone around us were very happy with their meals! HUGE, enormous shoutout to our server, Aleryia! She was on top of everything and one of the best servers for large groups, in my opinion, we've ever had! I hope the management there treat her well because she is a gem!! Great Job Chop House!!

My salad was yummy and my husband loved his tacos. The problem came when I started eating my broccoli. I was halfway through when I noticed an extra little guest I had not counted on...a lil green worm buried in between the stems. Ugh! Why?? Everything was going so well. I immediately lost my appetite. We told our server and she talked to the manager. He came over and apologized and asked if I wanted another broccoli. Lol, really??? Why would I want more broccoli. ‍ Of course I said no, so he took my broccoli off the bill. At least they didn't charge me extra for the worm. I did look up on Google my Lil guest, and apparently they are edible, especially if steamed and can be quite common in broccoli. Also not necessarily a worm but a type of caterpillar. That being said, I'm a vegan, so caterpillars and worms are not part of my diet. It's unfortunate this happened, because we were going to come back for dinner. Honestly, not sure if I will come back. But, we'll see. They did everything else right. Just wash your vegetables better.

I visited this sandwich shop / ice cream shop during lunch on my 2nd day in town while on a…read morebusiness trip. Inside its pretty eclectic with many items posted on the walls. To me it looks more like a tea shop than a sandwich shop. During our visit, they played fairly loud religious music for a sandwich shop. Next door was an ice cream shop but I didn't feel like any ice cream after eating and I'm not a big Blue Bell fan anyway. They have 2 menus and a lot of items to choose from but most are breakfast or lunch items. I went with a specialty sandwich, the Victoria (a chicken sandwich on ciabatta bread) and a sweet tea. I added their homemade potato salad for $1 more. The sandwich - this was a tasty sandwich on soft ciabatta bread but only 1 problem, the kitchen put American cheese on it. The menu indicated it had cheddar. Luckily they were able to bring me some cheddar from the kitchen while I was scraping off the processed cheese. Overall, it was pretty good because of a sauce they put on it which is slathered all over the shredded chicken. Potato salad - this is mayo based, quite different than the mustard based potato salad in the south. They added plenty of dill on the sandwich which made my colleague cringe since he also substituted for potato salad, but I thought it was pretty good. The service was a little strange as I heard our waitress keep making mistakes with another nearby table too as she kept saying "sorry" to that table as well.

One is for breakfast and lunch and one serves sandwiches, coffee, and ice cream. We chose the latter one. Small dining area but it was not busy so we seated ourselves.

But our favorite is The Rose. Their homemade pimento cheese with bacon and pepper jelly on ciabatta was amazing!

The establishment offers drive through service, dine-in, and order on app. We chose dine in for our first experience. We ordered the Zax Big Snack and wanted to try one of two chicken taco flavors, Avocado Ranch. (The other is Chipotle Ranch.) It took almost 10 minutes to get our 2 items, but as mentioned earlier, it was extremely busy when we arrived. The meal reminded me of Raising Cane's, I'd often dined in Texas. The chicken strips were not as crispy as I would have hoped, but the fries were well seasoned, and the chicken taco was tasty to eat. I'd like to give this place another visit and try the Zalads.

I have eaten at Cheddar's before but typically not watching what I was eating. They have a vast menu of quality downhome options. As I'm on a health journey, this will focus on their healthier options. The restaurant itself is in a busy part of Kingsport that has many restaurants of different kinds. It was clean and well laid out. There was ample parking and it was easy to get to. The service was good, as the waitress was attentive and checked on me regularly. She brought out the honey buttered croissant and was able to make recommendations. As for the food, there was several healthy options. A couple types of chicken, sirloin steaks, and fish options (salmon and white fish). I chose the Lemon Pepper chicken breast with rice and carrots and green beans as the side. The chicken was very good and flavorful. There were 2 breasts included so it was nice and filling. The rice was just enough to supplement the chicken with a little bit of carbs. The carrots were tender but lacked flavor. The green beans were average. Overall, this location was clean and friendly and had some healthy options to allow health conscious patrons some options. The chicken was very tasty while the carrots and green beans were pretty standard.

I ordered Chicken Alfredo and it looked like the food was left over from someone else's plate (I know it wasn't) or perhaps it was the scraps from the bottom of the pan. The broccoli appeared to have been mixed up in the sauce as well which caused the sauce to taste like straight broccoli. They were out of baked potatoes at 5:45pm on a Sunday and was told it would be a 45 minute wait. They were out of some of the drinks as well. The spinach dip cold and chips were stale. The ribs appeared to have a long string in the sauce consistent with what a worm looks like. Needless to say we sent everything back after a bite and left..
