Randall S.

We stopped in here for dinner made reservations, and we really liked it. We enjoyed ourselves. We had a friendly professional greeting when we came in, and they seated us as soon as the table was ready, but the atmosphere was attractive and very comfortable. The chef special when we came in was halibut and mine was really really good. We were not there for a special occasion, but I could recommend if anybody had a special occasion. It would definitely be one of the places you might want to consider..

Dessert

High quality food. Some of the best in town. Steak, pork chop, pasta is made by scratch, and the charcuterie were all delicious. the lunch menu is the best. We had the sliders, and tuna melt. Will go back to try more lunch dishes.

Courtyard seating

Don't let the location in a stripmall fool you. This place is gorgeous on the inside! Sophisticated and modern. We had reservations at 5pm, which is when they open for dinner. We got there at 4:45 and sat in the car waiting till they open, but saw a customer walk in at 4:55, so we went in too. The hostess greated us upon entry and said they would seat us at our scheduled time. No problem, made sense. The dining room was completely set, staff was busy with final touches at the bar, some cleaning and food prep going on. A few more customers began coming in. 5 o'clock now. Hostess and staff talking, answering the phone, greated more people etc. 5 minutes pass, waiting, another 5 minutes pass, waiting. ... Just when I was about to ask why the wait they finally seat us almost 15 minutes past our reservation. Not a good impression. Our server, however, made up for the inefficiencies of the hostess station. She was incredibly nice, professional and knowledgeable about the menu and specials. I got the halibut special prepared exactly the way the chef intended and it was delicious, perfectly cooked and well seasoned. My husband got the halibut too, but wanted it grilled, no sauce and fries. I was surprised they were willing to make the substitution. But they did, so big kudos for that! He liked his dinner, but said his halibut was a little dry....well if he had got it with the light sauce it wouldn't have been. Lol. The fresh bread and salad was also very good. They have an outdoor courtyard seating area too. We will come back, but maybe not at 5pm, because apparently they can't be ready by opening.

Grilled chicken pesto and Truffle Fries house cut fries

Walked in and met 3 hostesses. We explained we would like to sit at bar. One explained they had reservations for the bar so let her look. We thought fair enough however there was only one couple at bar and a lot of open seats. I went to restroom and when I came back my husband was still standing by hostess stand. Once she saw me she sat us at the bar. However we were sat in front of servers computer and drink station it felt very tacky. They had 3 seats reserved and a lot more open. We decided to let that go. Our server Cassie was very sweet and helpful. She explained the specials and was very attentive. Drinks were good, the food was phenomenal can't complain about it. Flavors were delicious everything cooked perfect. We ordered a coffee to go was perfect. Hostess made the review a 4 instead of a 5.

Chicken, tenders and fries
Thomas A.

This place was great! Best chicken tenders and fries. My 3 other companions had salads and they were very happy. We came for lunch and Alex waited on us. He was a very good waiter. We will be back for dinner soon!!!

Angus Beef Filet
Michael W.

Best dining experience in the Tri-Cities. Got the filet with root vegetables and it was so good. We live in Kingsport and there is a local steakhouse that ever told us to go to...not impressed. Gourmet & Co delivers with fine dining and food that matches. Our server was attentive and kept us informed why our meal took so long (they overcooked our steaks the first time) so they remade the entire meal and it was fantastic. The atmosphere was very nice and we will make this a regular for our special occasions.

Monty - amazing!!!

Let your foodie adventure begin here at Gourmet & Co - must try! So I'm headed to Johnson City for work and my partner finds this article about 10 best restaurants to try in what was named "little Chicago" (some Capone history here). First on the list is Gourmet & Co. Open Table had no available spots for my one free night of dinner, but the restaurant website said to call them if you run into that problem. I called. Dinner for 1? Anytime? No problem!!! 7pm bar seating and away we go! My bartender/server is excellent-- busy as hell, but helpful, attentive and a delicious drink slinger. I start w a dirty martini with goat-cheese stuffed olives. Wow! Who knew? And he made it just how I like it. The menu had such delicious soy ding options, but I'm dining alone and only have one stomach. If my chosen specials were indicative of the quality of all the dishes, a chef tasting menu here would be phenomenal to experience. But alas, I chose with me 'literal' gut-- what sounded good to my belly -- go local it said! So we start with the locally sourced mushroom cream vegetarian soup - 6+ types of mushrooms with lots of mushroom bits to much on while you enjoy. Then, another special - grouper, crispy skinned, on a bed of local veggies - more local mushrooms, pea shoots, garlic, radish, fennel, and swipe of herbaceous sauce painted on the bowl. Fresh, bright, delish! And can we squeeze in a bit of sweet at the end? Why, yes!!! -- Local strawberry hand pie... Local strawberries, goat cheese filling, creme anglaise, and charred lemon sorbet. The crust was light and fresh, with more creamier forward (less than strawberry forward) filling and the lemon sorbet show stopper. Wonderful! Of course I needed to order the oatmeal cookie martini to sip on as I wrote this review for you. And it is a mind twistingly accurate oatmeal cookie flavor! Wow! Again, cannot say enough good things about the talent of my drink slinging mixologist with a heart who apparently has worked here 16 years -- speaks volumes!

My friend really enjoyed his fish tacos.
Janette G.

Absolutely the best place to eat in Johnson City, Tennessee. It's clear that the owner and the staff care about the patrons. It has a beautiful atmosphere, very relaxing and the food is always excellent. They always bend over backwards to meet my specific dietary needs. Thank you gourmet.

Cheese and charcuterie board
Ashley S.

I would like to consider myself somewhat of a salad connoisseur so when I say this is the best salad I have ever had, that's huge! Everything about this salad was amazing. The goat cheese, the dressing, everything was absolutely delicious. The truffle fries were also so good! We got the cheese and charcuterie board as an appetizer and I really enjoyed all the cheeses that they chose to feature. The waitress we had was also so nice!

My first time back was at the original location on Roan St and it was excellent. I then went to the campus location because I knew they had a full bar. The first time we went the service was mediocre but the food was good and I was pleased to see they were carrying Xul beers, out of Knoxville. The reason for this review is because of the 2nd time I went to the campus location. First, I was told I couldn't make double selections for my draft sampler, despite doing it last time I was there. No "we'll do it for you this time" and no "I'm sorry" at all. Just "you can't do that". So, I ordered a single beer and let it go. Next, we ordered our food and we all got half pizzas. I asked for an extra side of the dry rub and bbq sauce for my pulled pork bbq pizza (the Memphis). Again, I've done this several times at the other location with no issue. My friend also asked for a side of the dry rub to put in his bbq chicken pizza (the Beale Street). When our food arrived a different person brought it out without these things, so we asked our server for them when she returned. She went to the kitchen and returned empty-handed to tell us they'd already put those things on the pizza. A) they had not put it on the Beale Street, and B) we asked for extra. The server got our dry rub and I asked for my bbq sauce. Rinse and repeat. She goes to the kitchen and comes back to tell me they put it on the pizza already. I thanked her for checking and let her know I would still like a side of it to dip my pizza in. The fact is, the pizza I got isn't great without the extras. It's kind of dry and bland. But with extras it's delicious. I'm not sure why the staff at this location has an issue with giving customers what they want but after the last experience, I'm doubtful I'll be going back any time soon. And as someone who goes out to eat at actual local restaurants at least twice a week, that is not a net positive for anyone involved. Very disappointing, after a brief redemption.

I don't have one bad comment to say about the food. Whitney (our server) was so attentive and kind. My only complaint about this restaurant is that if you sit at the one and only bar table, the seats don't have backs. It's a bit uncomfortable.

We've been here about 3 times in the past year or so, and it's gone downhill if I'm being honest…read more This most recent time we had a reservation like we always do, arrived 5 minutes before the reservation time, and were not seated until 30 minutes past our reservation time. The parking is also becoming a problem. We came on a Tuesday night and there was not a single spot so we had to park up the road past the dog park and walk. Not that big of a deal, but they really need to expand parking because cars were all over the place outside the small lot. Prices have gone up since we last came. They changed my favorite dish and it wasn't really indicated on the menu. The salmon used to come with a cream based cabbage with horseradish, but now it's a sweet purple cabbage (maybe pickled?) but it didn't say that on the menu. There wasn't any horseradish flavor in this new interpretation of the dish and the sweet acidic cabbage did not pair well. However, overall, I think it's worth a visit if you're looking for somewhere to have a nice more "upscale" dinner. There's some gems on the menu that I hope they don't change without indicating like the au gratin potatoes.

Many acts that play here go on to be be well known signed acts.

Food is basic but well prepared .. don't expect knock your socks off but decent and filling. They have a really wide variety of beer -- something for everyone. Beer prices have remained low and very affordable over the years I have enjoyed Down Home. Also a great place to meet and talk to people in town. I have ended up sharing a table with strangers and a pitcher many times. So if you are new to town this is a great place to meet new people and just enjoy. Everyone needs to try this place with live music of a kind that you enjoy. It is hard to not feel right at home here!!!

Yes. The food was delicious. The service impeccable and really nice ambiance made this a TEN star…read moreexperience. Oh! But I can only assign five stars.... So I shall! We ordered ribs with reasonably priced "add ons" of brisket and chicken breast. We're glad we did, because ALL of it was tasty and AMAZING! We ordered broccoli salad, Cole slaw and potato salad - ALL WERE FANTASTIC! They make their own sauce and it is GREAT! For me, it started with a bit of a tangy vinegar bite and moved quickly into a wonderful sweetness that I LOVE in bbq sauces. This is one of my favs, now. It isn't thick and cloyingly gooey...a nice medium weight sauce, which whispers rather than shouts. Really, it's sublime. The ribs were AWESOME. Tender and done just right. The chicken breast was surprisingly tender and juicy - melt-in-your-mouth juicy, in fact! It was the brisket, though, which sent my taste buds soaring. The brisket had a perfect texture - pliable and yet so tender I felt as if I discovered a little bit of heaven in that first bite! The slices are thinly cut, but with the perfect amount of thickness, for me. Not too thin. Not too thick, which often ruins brisket, for me. The subtlety was not lost on me. I love to cook and each component of a dish adds or detracts something! This was SUBLIME. The smoke level was perfect. And, oh, SO yummy! BTW, we were greeted as we entered and the vibe (energy) of this restaurant was palpable: these folks LOVE WHAT THEY DO. What a nice change from many restaurants we eat at, where the employees don't seem to actually WANT to work! Our sever, Tyler, couldn't have been a better fit for us. Attentive, punctual, thoughtful and simply perfect! Back to the FOOD.... We ordered broccoli salad. I make my own broccoli salad, which is darned good if I do say so myself- this was better. They thoughtfully chop the broccoli and add a variety of other ingredients, which lifts this recipe into the 'sublime' category. The coleslaw was also a strong contender for us - not too sweet or vinegary. It was very good. The potato salad was awesome, as well and we appreciated the fact that we could choose from a decent list of 'sides'. Not everyone wants fries... The Tennessee toast was their version of Texas Toast and provided the perfect carb to soak up that tasty sauce. This is a family restaurant. They've been in business for decades and it was started, I believe the menu 'backstory' said by a college kid trying to earn money and pay for college: it's become a legend in these parts. We drive well over an hour to try it. We will return, for certain. We order a smoked turkey sandwich to go ( for lunch today!) and a brisket dinner. We can hardly wait to eat this incredibly delicious food, again. This restaurant is the perfect example of the Serendipity of Life. A young man, willing to work for what he envisioned ( a college degree) and who went on to think about and develop a perfect platform, where his earned success now adds value to the lives of his plus or minus 60 employees! Now, that's what I call a Screamin' ' Success! He (Tom) came by our table for chat, which for us, was the proverbial 'icing' on our cake! Thank you to all of the employees, who made our supper the best bbq experience we've had in many a year! Well-done, all of you!

Pros: Very clean, family-friendly atmosphere, reasonably priced, great friendly service, and fun…read moreaesthetic. Cons: No beer to pair with the BBQ, and while the food was good, it wasn't great. Overall, Firehouse was a fun spot for a family lunch. The experience, atmosphere, service, and value were all positives, but I was a bit underwhelmed by the brisket in particular. That said, the food was still good and I'd recommend a visit.
