She was friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the menu and was running her tail off the whole time we were there. None of her patrons waited for anything! She was QUICK! The wings were huge, meaty and juicy. The Foghorn Leghorn chicken sandwich was the thickest peice of chicken I've ever seen on a bun. The sidewinder fries were unique and yummy. The onion rings were great!! The dining room was very clean and so were the bathrooms. Plenty of condiments on the tables, too. My only *meh* is the cheap sysco cutlery. Just a nit. The people at the table next to us were raving about their burgers and hot dogs. Stop by!!

We stopped in on a Sunday and managed to catch the time between breakfast (ends at 11AM) and brunch. I appreciated that fresh-made eggs and pancakes are part of the buffet. Als, the biscuits are on point. The potatoes they were serving were in a fairly unusual style (in thin seasoned strips), but they were just shy of going soft and the texture made them a tasty treat. Also, for the meat eaters, they had some lovely fried chicken in the brunch. Given the prices they were charging, the value on that is spectacular. I also really liked their salad bar. The variety of items was on point and I got to learn what an ambrosia salad was! This is definitely a great spot to stop in and fill-up. It's clearly a community joint with a bunch of locals. But they welcomed us right in and the server checked on us frequently, even though it was a buffet. I'll definitely pop in again the next time I'm driving through town!

I'm glad we were early because the parking lot got really crowded and the place was hopping shortly after 11:15. It's a big menu and we took our time looking over the options. Not everything is super obvious about what it is or has on it but you can ask the folks at the window. Our group ordered hot dogs, tater babies, broccoli cheese bites, and a coffee milkshake. Everything came out pretty quickly and VERY hot. I had a footlong hot dog, ordered with chili, mustard, and cole slaw but it only came with chili and mustard. My Mom had a hot dog with mustard and relish. That one was right but looked a little odd because the toppings were under the dog so it just looked like a plain wiener. The third hot dog was perfect and definitely was looked the most appealing. The tater babies are potato wedges. They were good. The Broccoli cheese bites were just kinda meh. My Aunt gave the coffee milkshake a C grade saying should couldn't really taste the coffee flavor. We enjoyed sitting under the covered areas because it was such a beautiful day. Robo's definitely seems like a local favorite. I'd return and try some other items on the menu (especially breakfast) if I'm in the area again.

The serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner depending on the day. It's a little disconcerting when you pull up to my the entrance and slightly more as you step in the dining room. But the place, though worn, is spotlessly clean. The food that they prepare is all scratch made to order. So don't be impatient it's well worth the wait. My wife had corn dogs and fries. The corn dogs had a wonderful crunchy cornmeal crust that reminded me of my childhood (I'm pushing 70). I had the patty melt that had a very tasty yet unknown cheese that was so melty that I loved the sandwich. This place is a little out of the way but if you are anywhere near Johnson City it's worth the effort.

The pancakes were just ok.... They made the batter as we ordered it so it didn't have time to absorb the flour so it wasn't all that good. He said he would try a burrito next time. I loved my biscuits and gravy. The gravy was a darker color but the sausage was so flavorful and it was light in pepper which I like because I don't like pepper. The biscuit was a really great size and fluffy. The bacon is not thick cut but still Crispy and good, eggs were cooked nicely. Now on to the cheddar rounds..... I try these all over but these are the absolute closest you will get to the Pals version. They were lacking the season salt which would have made them taste like Pals. Over all I was very happy and will definitely be back!!! Also the prices were good (pic of menu (included)

The waitress was friendly and the bathrooms were very clean. The women's room was well stocked with good quality toilet paper (why must this be so rare?!) and paper towels. It even had a hook on the back of the door for any bags or jackets you may want to hang up- it's the little things! The pricing was shockingly amazing! We spent $34 for 4 meals, a coffee, and two add-ons. The ambiance is casual and cute, and the building is decorated nicely. They even think of little details such as having a hook on the side of each booth for your purse, bag, jacket, etc. Overall, our experience at the Downtown Pioneer was great and we will definitely be coming back!
