My brother came back with 2 slices of burnt toast with a piece of cheese between them ! Cheese wasn't even melted! I took it back the next day and asked them if that is what you call a grilled cheese sandwich. The manager asked if I wanted him to make me another sandwich! J said no, I needed this last night!!!!!!

Every little rural town should have a place to eat as good as this one! We were driving through…read moreAppalachia and ended up in the little town of Big Stone Gap around lunch time, and ended up here. it's surprisingly big, with a large spacious dining area and bar and sports viewing area in the back. The decor is minimalist but nice and the seating is comfortable. Service was a little slow, but pleasant. But the food itself was unexpectedly good! Their French Dip burger was excellent. It's rare to find French Dip sandwiches using traditional roast beef these days, as roast beef has been replaced by barbequed beef or pulled pork. Here they applied the French Dip concept to a well-prepared beef burger. The au jus was excellent and when the burger was dipped into it -- it was soooo good. As a side, the fire-roasted corn was out of this world, too. Whatever spices they put on the roasted corn really take it to the next level. Also amazing was their Cajun pasta with broccoli and chicken (added on). The sauce was stated as being alfredo with Cajun spices, but it tasted to me almost like a combination of pesto and alfredo. I've had Cajun style pasta sauce in many restaurants and it usually has what you'd expect in terms of Cajun seasoning. Here I'm not even sure I'd describe it as Cajun really, but whatever seasoning they put in the sauce, they should patent it. The chicken was well-grilled, tender and tasty and the broccoli pieces were also wonderful. On top were two pieces of perfectly baked Italian style bread that I used to soak up every bit of that incredible pasta sauce. Even though this place it basically 3 hours from where I live, if I'm ever anywhere near here again, I'd go back in a heartbeat!

Well my wife and had spent the day shopping in Norton and decided to Eat before returning home to…read moreHazard, Ky. I decided we should try GW Clisso's. I had heard so much about how good it was from the guys I work with. We drove in to the Restaurant and it was a beautiful drive. We went in and were promptly seated, a lady came to here table and introduced herself as not being a waitress but just filling in because they were short handed. "Red Flag #1". We ordered our drinks and our food. While we were waiting we were talking and looking around and couldn't believe how unclean it was we were in the corner and the window seals had numerous bugs dead and alive and so did the floor. When our food arrived, which took forever. I had the 16oz Ribeye my Wife had the 6oz Filet. Her steak was very undercooked so she sent it back. I decided to try a bite or two just to see how my steak tasted while her steak was being corrected. The taste was excellent but it was barely warm and my "partially baked undone potato" wasn't warm enough to melt the butter which I had to ask for since I didn't get any with the potato. When my wife's meal returned we started to eat I asked how hers was and she said the potato was not fully baked and hard and the steak was tough. We decided to just get on with it eat and leave. That was an adventure as well, the table was rocking so bad that we had to take turns cutting up our steaks while the other held the table still. Needless to say it was a horrible experience. We expected so much more for the price.

Started with the Fried Baked Potato bites appetizer. 10/10. Absolutely phenomenal pulled pork…read more Might be the best I've ever had. BBQ dipping sauce was sweet - seemed like only had one kind. Was good, but you gotta like sweet BBQ sauce. Also had Union Bear Burger, the burgers are backyard style and have that charred flavor that some people really love. The brisket was fantastic. Creamed corn was a 10/10, fried okra was solid, and baked beans had good flavor. Nothing disappointed us. Restaurant was clean. Portions sizes are great. Service was extremely friendly, attentive and very fast. Would absolutely return. Now there's a reason to stop in Appalachia, VA.

My mouth is watering again, hours after eating as I write this. Very clean. Plenty of parking. Plenty of seating inside or out on the back deck. A small gift shop and miscellaneous items for sale, t shirts, ball caps, cup, souvenir items. Even had a few automotive items, motor oil, trans fluid etc... It is out of the way. LOL. TAKE A DRIVE. This is East Tennessee at its best. I will be going again for the fall colors, and a truly amazing meal. Air B&B cabins on the river are available too.
