Coleslaw (good) baked beans good but warm, not hot) green beans (same thing and a baked potato (probably should have been baked for another hour. My friend got 1/2 slab of ribs. These were awful. Tough, stringy and they didn't taste good at all. Emily gave us a $10 credit and the kitchen took them off the menu for the night. One worker commented something to the effect that they weren't their regular ribs. Possible whoever does the food inventory decided to try a cheaper alternative and that was a huge mistake. Not sure I will ever be back...overall, just not that impressed at all.

There were photos on the wall of one of the teams I had coached. I asked someone about it and it turned out I had coached the person I asked. It made my morning. The service was very friendly and the food was tasty with ample portions. The cost was very reasonable. If I were to be in the area again, I wouldn't hesitate to stop here for breakfast again. After the food and conversation, I continued on my way to Elizabethton for a round of golf.

We stopped for dinner the first night and I went back in the morning for breakfast. Nothing fancy small diner that the locals frequent. They have daily specials. They have all of the regular southern fair. Bestie said the cornbread reminded her of her nana (who was from Harlan County, Kentucky - so that tells me this is OG Appalachian cornbread). It's not like your typical Northeastern sweet cornbread. The menu had all your typical southern fair chicken fried steak soup beans, and cornbread. They serve breakfast all day. She got the beef vegetable soup with the cornbread. Beef vegetable soup was Campbell's. I had the patty melt, which was amazing. It was a 10 ounce freshly made patty on rye toast with grilled onions and Swiss cheese. It was the best patty melt. I've had in many years. My meal came with a small side of critical cut fries that were delicious. Service was friendly and fast. We went with besties's cousin for breakfast the next morning. I have the two eggs over easy with a biscuit and sausage gravy and two strips of bacon. That biscuit was amazing as a sausage gravy. Bacon was crisp and delicious. Service was again very fast and friendly they checked on us numerous times to freshen our coffee, which was greatly appreciated. If you're staying near Bristol or in Bluff City etc. check out the Bluff City Diner. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the food was really good and the prices are extremely reasonable plenty of offstreet parking easy access for those who might have mobility issues.

The space serves breakfast (homemade gravy) throughout the day and has many burger choices. We ordered the daily special - lasagna and Chicago style beef sandwich. Both were good. The lasagna is not overly spicy and suitable for those who don't tolerate a lot of spice, but it was not bland and had a mom's casserole appeal. It came with a fresh side salad with homemade vinaigrette dressing. The Chicago style Italian Beef sandwich was on a fresh soft substantial bun and came with mozzarella cheese and a great dipping sauce. Very good. The owner's wife said everything was fresh made when ordered, chicken handcut, burgers hand patted, and only the fries were frozen. This little family friendly spot seemed to be a stop for workers in the area looking for a good meal at a good price. If you are in the area it is worth stopping by. I'll give it 5 stars because it does a great job of being that local diner.

We were welcomed by one of the servers with a great big smile and a "how are y'all doing today?" Set the tone right away and made us feel right at home. We ordered one of the "signature" dishes, which in our case was a hamburger and we also ordered an order of onion rings. It took a little while for ours to come because they were made to order but we noticed country meals were being served right away. We didn't notice those meals on the menu but then I noticed a board on the wall with several options. I don't know the price but our burgers were just $4 each. Our total bill before tip was just $14.63. That included 2 burgers, an order of onion rings and 2 iced teas. Everything was delicious and plentiful. Unfortunately we were way too full to get one of their many homemade desserts. Next time we'll save room!

The food at both locations we visited was really good but what I liked best was how many different types and options they offered. At the first location I had a sun-dried tomato burger and was so happy they had vegetarian options. At the second location we had a pizza. Both had great flavor! We intentionally went for both lunch and dinner at two separate locations to see if the food and service was consistent. I'm happy to say they were both excellent! If you happen to be in Johnson City and you're not sure where to eat or your group all want something different than this is the place to go.
