While passing through the region, we needed to take a lunch break and stumbled across Bristol Cafe,…read morea super friendly lunch and breakfast spot in this interesting community straddling the Virginia and Tennessee state line. You have to love a place that features a "deviled egg of the day," though sadly they sold out not long before our arrival. They waitress felt badly so she gave us generous sample of their other homemade sides, including a zesty pimento cheese and a delicious loaded baked potato salad. The sandwiches were very good: made to order on fresh quality bread. The service was amazing: I felt as if we were welcomed into their home, and the place has a very cozy vibe. I am willing to bet the breakfast is outstanding given that this part of the country backs-up the belief that it is the most important meal of the day.

We were greeted and seated immediately and I ordered half-cut Iced Tea and Shari got her Sweet Tea. She ordered Fried Green Tomatoes w Ranch Dipping Sauce for the table. I ordered Meatballs w Extra sauce and it came with a slice of Garlic Bread on the side. Shari ordered the Stuffed Pasta Entree Special and she was extremely pleased! The food tasted as awesome as it looked! Only thing better would have been some fresh Basil! I definitely recommend and would go back again when in the area! I loved the Sinatra music playing in background and our server Abby was amazing! Ask for Abby!

I was a teacher and coach at the local high school fifty years ago, and so I decided to have…read morebreakfast here on the off chance I might encounter someone I had taught (I left the area in 1979). 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.

A large and friendly restaurant with pleasant service. I had…read morethe Fish + Chips and added a house salad. The salad arrived first and was topped with thin, potato sticks. The dish included a variety of greens and cucumbers, with cheese. The fish was clean and fresh-tasting with a Panko covering and included many fried cod fillets. I saved some for later. I didn't use the tartar sauce that looked a lot like a flavored mayo but the added lemon brought the fish flavor forward. For a nice treat, the fillets were placed on top of a bed of half dollar-sized potato slices (thick cut potato chips) that tasted more like potatoes than chips. Salty yum! The prices are reasonable and service quick.

Hearty, authentic Mexican food which came out in the span of a few minutes. I just pointed at something on the vegetarian menu and was very pleased with what I got. The portions are quite large, too.

Get an order of the table side guacamole if you want to complete the holy trinity of salsa and pico de gallo with your chips.

Literally any restaurant can do that. They said they have to do the rice and the beans on the side and the guacamole on top with red sauce. I said just put the guacamole on the side and burritos shouldn't have sauce on it. She kept repeating it has red sauce I said no sauce strictly this stuff I said only. Doesn't take a rocket scientist... she kept saying cheese sauce I said No, we want cheese, literal cheese, not any sauce anything. I also ordered shrimp fajitas and steak nachos with just steak and cheese, and the burrito above. The chicken in the burrito was kind of dry, like they possibly boiled it then shredded it. Her food wasn't very flavorful. My bf said that his nachos were tasty but needed more cheese sauce. My plate wasn't flavorful at all. To me it seems like this is more Tex-Mex with white people in the kitchen. iI from California and have been to Mexico many time..so I know authentic Mexican food and this doesn't come anywhere near it.
