I got the Reuben with corned beef and a side of mustard green ($15). It came out in about 15 minutes. Reuben was quite good, the corned beef was loaded quite well, it was salty but could've been a tad more moist. My favorite part was the side, I love the amount of vinegar and tartness the greens had! It was sour and spicy and I absolutely shocked that I enjoyed that more over the sandwich. The hospitality of the staff were super phenomenal, very friendly and genuine. Overall a pretty nice pit stop for food and amazing service! Food(50%): 7.2 Staff/service(25%): 9.5 Value(25%): 7.5 Overall: 7.9/10

Best BBQ!

Definitely giving this place a shout out! We happened to be in the area camping and wanted to hit a place for lunch. We checked on yelp and found this amazing and unique place! What we found was a great place with great owners. We pulled up and the owner came to the fence to tell us they were closed due to a 400 person order they were catering. The disappointment started to come over us. Then he said he could still feed us just on a limited menu. We jumped on it. Let me tell you that bbq was amazing! He even showed us his smokers and gave us the story on his cooking clean. We even got to eat in a green house. We will definitely be back! Don't miss out you need to try this place!

Patio decor

Nice find for a casual lunch. Rustic feel of the Deep South bbq shacks in a quiet neighborhood. Friendly owner and flavors were on point. "Dragon" spice made from the dehydrated mash of their hot sauce was very flavorful and low in sodium level. While not as smoky as this bama boy likes things, but it was a nice change from the oven baked stuff many try to pass as Q around here. Brunswick stew was the best I've had outside of Georgia/Alabama. Definitely will be back, especially since they have a great set up in a greenhouse for large group.

Delicious Bar-be-que here. All meats are smoked on site, sauces and seasonings made in house as well. Not a traditional restaurant- feels almost more like someone's home. But the food and service are top tier,

BBQ Style Cubano (insta: @mmmashterchef)

Came on my yearly summer food road trip from Pittsburgh. Staff was super friendly and descriptive when I asked questions about the menu. Nice space between a barn like ordering counter outdoor patio. Ordered the BBQ version of a Cubano sandwich which nearly had: Pulled pork, chicken, provolone, spicy pickles, pickled peppers and onions, alabama white bbq sauce, and spicy mustard with a side of smoked Mac n cheese. The pork was cooked nicely and the blend of white bbq with mustard was a nice combination. Mac was just fine but nothing memorable. The sandwich in terms of uniqueness and quality was a home run!

Pulled Pork Sandwich with side of Mac and cheese

WOW! We were looking for a place for lunch today, 4 of us and a big dog. So happy we found Bristol Gardens and Grill. Food - excellent, service - over the top, and ambiance - perfect. Terrific experience, we'll be back!

Perfect hot sauce

Must stop in for a meal. So friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was so charming. Salad was fresh, meat was super tasty. Got the brisket and chicken salad to go along with some hot sauce and bbq sauce. Will make it a regular stop on our travels!

In house rubs
Kayte W.

This place was a gem! In the heart of the town on the corner of two streets, this place was perfect. The owner greeted us, took our orders and they promptly brought it out to us. The coolest part is the rubs and sauces are made with items grown on the property! Oh! And if your a fan of sauces, you can try them out with your meal before making the purchase of a sauce. Great little gem in Bristol!

Pulled Pork Plate with Green Beans and Macaroni and Cheese
Nicole W.

Stopped by on our way to Gatlinburg because we remembered how good it was 4 years ago! The service is friendly and the food is yummy! They only have seating outside or in the green house., but we enjoyed the covered screened in porch. I really liked my BBQ and felt like the portions were very generous. The macaroni and cheese is really good and I liked the green beans. My kids all raved about their entrees as well. My littlest did not enjoy her potato salad, but that's because she is used to a more mayonnaise based version. We will be back on our next trip through!

Thank you, Matt!

A quick and easy detour off I-81, for amazing sandwiches. The Cuban and Veggie Grilled Cheese were stellar. Really friendly owner also.

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've been going to State Line at least twice a week since 1998 and…read more "Never" had a bad meal, poor service or found a dirty bathroom.Their food is exceptional and I've never experienced bad service. 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.

Hey friends! I went out with some new coworkers to this cool spot downtown…read more This spot is the rose that grew from concrete. Bristol is a rural town but certain areas are becoming more chic, such as this rooftop bar. I ordered a brown sugar old fashioned to start with. It was AMAZING. I would definitely recreate it at home, the flavors balance perfectly. For my entree, I had the chicken sandwich. The batter was perfectly crispy and seasoned well. I like that they use chicken thighs, which are juicy and makes for a delicious sandwich. Fries were okay, I wish they weren't steak fries. +Our server was friendly! She recommended great menu items. +Limited parking +Outdoor seating with a beautiful overlook of the city. Indoor seating as well. +Prices are a little above average. +Restaurant was clean and well stocked. I hope enjoy!

Hands down, people, this is the best bar in Bristol. Why?…read more Happy Hour! M-F from 2-5pm, all the Shareables are 50% off and drinks are really discounted! It's a really great way to try the food! Food (5/5): Elevated bar food! The kitchen from the downstairs restaurant, Vivian's Table, makes the food and it is really delicious. We tried the popcorn shrimp, which are breaded and crispy. Really great. We of course, had to try the Mountain of fries - these are matchstick fries and the best part was the three different sauces that come with it. The chipotle ketchup was my favorite. We also tried the wings, which were good..I am not a huge wing fan, though. The jalapeno poppers (wrapped in bacon with a cheese filing) were great, as were the steak nachos. And of course, the hummus with the fry bread was great, too. My hubby liked the hazy IPA that was on draft. Even better at $3.50 a pint during Happy Hour. I really liked the cocktails - some of my favorite was a new espresso based tequila (for the summer menu) and the creamsicle. Service (5/5): Everyone up here is super nice - the manager Landry, bartender Raine and all the servers were really fantastic. Ambiance (5/5): Location - This is the top of the Bristol Hotel, and one of the only rooftop bars in Bristol. From the top you have a lovely view of the famous Bristol sign, great when it lights up at night.

The food was very good. We arrived on a Tuesday at 12:30 and were greeted by prominent signage…read morethat "no tables were to be seated until the full party had arrived." I suppose proximity to the Va Creeper Trail encouraged this as I could see folk holding up a table whilst waiting would be a potential issue. We were seated promptly and given menus and served water and sodas. The rock music was pretty loud for the restaurant, which has some smaller rooms that are serviceable but cramped and a bit echoey and dark. By 12:35 our order was in and by 12:51 on our table. The table has a nice individual light, and a bottle of water on the table. Unlike some other local restaurants, soda refills are free and a pitcher was brought by the table to serve refills of diet coke. What was not good was the large beer poster of the St Paulie Girl with her nipples hanging out. I realize these are beer posters and I realize they are German and things are different there. But this was a prominently placed poster. I just wouldn't think a place where a lot of families dine would put this in such a prominent spot, or any spot really. I'm not a super prude, I just raised three sons. So the sandwich though, was very good.
