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.

Very good! Friendly people, great service, awesome coffee and food…read more The gravy and biscuit my colleague had looked amazing, I loved the country ham and eggs.

The restaurant is literally next to the stockyards, so it is easy to locate. There is a sign on the…read moreside of the building also. There is a large gravel lot for parking. The entrance has some significant potholes so watch as you enter or leave, but the opening is very wide so you can maneuver around them pretty easily. This area is also used for the stockyards so there were several trucks with trailers but they tended to park further away from the restaurant. There are steps to the entrance, but there is a ramp on the left side as well. There is also a handicapped space at the bottom of the ramp, but you will need to walk through the gravel lot so plan accordingly. The entrance is at the bottom of a U-shaped bar. All seating is at the bar so large parties will be spread out. It you do have a large party, try to get a corner so you can talk easier. I was able to find a seat along the right side. There were quite a few regulars, evidenced by the joking between them and the staff. The place can get loud with all the conversation, but everyone is friendly and the staff is accommodating. While the kitchen is in the rear, the drinks, cups, silverware, etc. are all in the middle of the bar. This area is quite busy as all the staff maneuvers through here. It did seem waitresses were experienced and took care of both sides of the bar. The building itself is pretty run down but "well used" does not indicate dirty or unsafe, just that is has a lot of history. I ordered the biscuit with gravy and sausage and added two eggs for an additional dollar. The food came out in about ten minutes. The biscuit and gravy were very good and the eggs were cooked as ordered. The sausage was dry but was OK when added to the biscuit and gravy. My coffee never got below half a cup. It was a relatively warm morning, and the restaurant started to heat up while I was there. It appears they only have a wall air conditioner which cannot keep up with all the heat generated in the restaurant. It was not uncomfortable but could be that way in the summer. Betty's is a homey local spot with a decent breakfast for a good price.

I've lived in Kingsport for 49 years. We recently had to sell our home and bought a truck and…read morecamper to live in. I promised my wife 45 years ago that I would show her the USA before I passed. Thanks to Sullivan county trying to sell our home for 9 grand in back taxes, the time has come for us to hit the road. This morning, June 9th, 2025 we decided to try out some place that we had never been before for breakfast. My truck is a dually Ram 3500 and I'm still trying to get the hang of driving such a big machine. The parking lot was absolutely packed and I did the best I could in parking it. A regular patron didn't like how and where I had parked and started giving me "what for" before I even got out of the truck. It was ugly and I definitely over-reacted. Words were said that I shouldn't have said, but we decided to go in and eat regardless of the Karen's tirade. So, we go in, find a seat and met some of the nicest people we've ever encountered. Darby, the owner came and asked me VERY POLITELY and KINDLY if I could move my truck to another location to facilitate traffic flow through the lot. I happily obliged him because he was so kind and caring in the way he spoke to me. I explained my situation and he listened like a close friend listens when you need someone, you know? I came back in and my wife and I both ordered the #1 breakfast special. Oh my GOD, people! I rarely clean my plate, but this was some of the most delicious and down home cooking I have ever experienced! Our waitress was a very sweet soul and adored my Service Dog, Dolly like she was her own. Darby came back and checked on us repeatedly and his kindness and sincerity made me wish he were my own son. They are professional, courteous and treat every customer with the utmost respect and kindness. The cooking? It reminded me of my mom's cooking from back in the 60's. You can tell it was prepared with love and thoughtfulness. Overall, (except for the mean Karen) this was probably the best experience I've ever had dining out. Darby needs to be famous, folks! Please, go eat at Cafe 93 every chance you get! The prices are MORE THAN FAIR and you feel like you are part of a loving family when you are there. Thank you Mr. Darby for making me feel like I mattered. You are kind beyond words and I will never forget you. A million thanks are not enough. All I can do is tell other people about you and your awesome Cafe 93! May God bless you and keep you and your family safe and may you live a long and happy life, young man. You are a good soul, and finding you felt like finding an entire field of 4 leaf clovers! May you and yours be blessed for many, many years to come! Earl, Robin & Dolly Oaks

My Colette was bacon wrapped with eggs and a slice of American cheese on top. The cheese ruined it tasted plasticy. No hash brown or anything but it had a lot of bacon. The ham on the platter was salty and the gravy was underwhelming. The servers were really nice and the restaurant had a good energy. Just wish the food was better.

If you're cruising through the Tri-Cities like we are checking out neighborhoods and seeing if this…read moremight be a place we want to call home you still have to eat. We drove from Johnson City to Kingsport one morning looking for something quick, and as always, I trusted my Yelp peeps to point us toward something good. Big As Biscuits & Burgers is tucked inside a gas station but don't let that deter you for a second. These biscuits are no joke. We were originally thinking of a sit-down breakfast, but my partner is a full-blown biscuit enthusiast. If we see biscuits, we try the biscuits. So we stopped in, and the woman behind the counter was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We grabbed a ginormous biscuit for just over $3. She had all the single-serve jams and jellies ready to go, which I appreciated. We took it back to the car to eat. First impression: this thing requires two hands. It's massive. She had already sliced it for us, and when I opened it up, you could see the buttery pockets where it melted into the dough while baking. It wasn't ultra-layered and flaky like a laminated biscuit, but it was perfectly soft on the inside with a beautiful crunch on the outside. The flavor was spot on!!! Soft, warm, buttery and comforting. We added a little jam, though honestly it didn't even need butter. It was that good. If you're looking for a quick, satisfying bite that will absolutely fill your belly, stop at Big As Biscuits & Burgers. We're already talking about grabbing a few more to bring back to the hotel before we leave town. Sometimes the best finds are inside a gas station and sometimes a biscuit really can make your morning.

Good morning Yelpers Hope everyone is fine today !
