Mid City Grill was one of the big places for me and my wife to check out while we were in Johnson City . We didn't know that there was another one in Kingsport but the one in Johnson City was the one we needed to go to regardless. Staff here was absolutely friendly and was knowledgeable about their food items. The vegan section is absolutely comprehensive and the portion size and as well as the prices are absolutely incredible with fair prices and big portions. This place stays open pretty late as well. Done again was a blast though the interior needs to be remodeled in some way or shape. Restrooms weren't too bad at all either. Be careful of one of the steps because it's a steep step where you might fall. Overall, I was very satisfied with a visit here and I left absolutely full. This place also has great kids deals too. read more

Mid City Grill is a vibe. No-frills joint that specializes in just about anything from the grill, particularly burgers. They also have a massive vegan menu, which surprised me. The place was clean (think Waffle House clean) and the servers were friendly and hustling to make it happen. Opted for the Classic Burger and Johnson City Pork Dip with cheese fries. All of it was good but the burger in particular was great. Worth a stop if you're downtown and jonesing for a burger and some local charm. read more

Love the food. Waitstaff are consistent. Would be great if the identical bathrooms were all gender.

Arrive at 5:00, but slow kitchen turn around due to call-in orders. Still, the terrific food is worth the wait. Gracious portions. Definitely try the Demon Waffle fries! read more

Small and a bit run down but one of the best Philly Cheesesteak I have had. They happily split a meal for us which was plenty.

Burger was as good as ever but the wait was beyond crazy tonight. True they were swamped but learning that a large to go order was prioritized over already seated in house dining was unsatisfactory. I think I may turn around and try another day if I see them this busy again. Burgers are great but definitely not worth over an hour wait from ordering. read more

Food was great, but we had to wait an hour for two burgers. Server didn't come over to refill drinks while we were waiting. Waited 20 minutes just for menus read more

Old mid city Grill takes me back to my young 20s when I was barhopping, but it's still so good not too far from walking around plenty of places there's a lot of varieties there. Definitely worth checking out as well. read more

The burger here was sooo good and the fried cheese curds are amazing!! The server was also super nice and welcoming. Beware because it seems like they like to cook the burger patty medium without asking, but thankfully I'm okay with a medium cooked burger patty. I ordered the outlaw burger and the bacon, onion rings, cheddar cheese, and BBQ sauce really came amazingly well together in the burger. Their fried cheese curds are also so addicting, I would come back here just for those. read more

Mid City Grill - Not so little Chicago burger - Sandwiches Near Me - Johnson City, Tennessee

this place is delicious and i cannot recommend it enough. HUGE servings of fries, burgers are so good and always cooked perfectly (if you ask for medium, its medium. if you ask for well done, it's well done), their lettuce is super fresh greens rather than just a slab of iceberg. super affordable too! every time i'm in town now i have to get this place. the servers are also all so incredibly kind and i always try and tip as much as i can afford. read more

This place is so punk rock. I had the best black bean burger I've ever had in my entire life. Also I'm pretty sure they make their own fries which are SO GOOD. Great service and cool music. read more

Best tasting Burgers in JC & So many tasty fries Love their is a vegan menu to please all your family & friends Great hours and awesome staff! read more

Unexpected awesome vegan food in a little town surrounded by rural Tennessee and North Carolina! Ask for the vegan menu (it's not on the regular menu and it's a big variety). Salads, sandwiches, burgers, sides. Really good prices too. The fried chick'n sandwich was probably my favorite chick'n ever (and I've tried one at probably 20 different restaurants). Perfect ratio of crunch on the outside to chick'n inside. The garbage fries were so good but huge. My boyfriend liked his vegan bbq burger, too. They also had several vegan desserts in the display case up front. Staff was not wearing masks and they had no outdoor seating so we ended up eating in our car, but totally worth it and I'd do it all over again! Free parking all around. Cute area of town. read more

We stopped by on a Saturday evening at around 6. Not too crowded. Gotta love TN -- you can bring in your own beer. What !!! We have none of that in (state run) NC. Absolutely loved the diner vibe that this place has. So many burgers to choose from. We each had something different. They were all very tasty. The fries on the side were an enormous portion !! Would suggest you each order a different side so you can share. I was pleasantly surprised that when I checked in on YELP, a 20% off coupon popped up. SCORE !!!! Our waitress was friendly and helpful. It was our first time here and we would definitely come back (with our own beer) next time we are in town. Give them a try and don't forget your beer when you go. YUM !!! read more

Found ourselves looking for some grub after a concert, not much open but stumbled onto this gem for a late night meal. Had the burgers, mine was the Chicago with a side salad which was large enough for a meal in itself. Loved their specialty dressing. The burger was absolutely scrumptious! I was actually surprised it was so good. Mostly sandwiches, burgers, salads and fried appetizers but the kicker is they have a full vegan menu as well. Service was great. Just a fairly small unassuming place.. kind of divey but would still highly recommend especially for a meal late on the weekend. read more

Held off forever eating at this place. The flavor is different had no clue what I was missing out on I will be back for more definitely worth a try if you are thinking about it read more

I live in New York and I visited the restaurant by chance. The workers are nice. The food will be honey in your mouth. I loved their treatment. Of course, I will come back every time, even from a distance. I love you all read more

Food was excellent and they have a great variety on the menu to chose from as well . Been here a couple times and food has always been very good and service as well . Friendly and helpful wait staff . Worth a visit . read more

I didn't get a chance to take pictures but we got the fried banana peppers, an extra thing of fries, I got the breakfast burger and the hubs got the beckinator. The burgers have a nice real grilled little bit smokey flavor. I really enjoyed my breakfast burger. The beckinator seemed a little less flavorful to me than the breakfast burger, but both were good. The peppers came with a big side of yummy runny ranch. I would hit this place up again especially for a late night meal... it's one of the few non-fast food places open and it's yummy. read more

Really a cool spot. First question after sitting down is if you want vegan menu or regular menu: that is rather cool for the vegan folk (not me). Definitely a "funky vibe" here with lots of seating and tables for groups. Menu was solid with sandwiches, burgers, salad and soup. I got the lunch special with 1/2 Pulled Pork sandwich and a salad; the salad was HUGE and really well made and the sandwich was delicious. I would certainly go here again; the service was 5 star and the food backed it all up. read more

Love the vegan options and food is always good though the fries are frequently quite salty. Food comes out quickly, however, in my experience, table service is always lack luster. The other day I was sitting there waiting for a server to show their head. I know they're nearby, I could hear them up in the lobby complaining about their tips. Watch for up charges. Place your order but be weary if they offer something. Would you like some vegan ranch for your fries? Oh, sure. Brings ticket, oh, you charged me for that??? It's one thing at a drive thru when they ask if I would like to add an additional item to my order, this was not phrased that way. Also have a service animal. Ask if I could order just a chicken patty or burger patty for them? Sure thing! On my ticket I'm charged for an entire chicken sandwich meal. Doesn't that usually come with a side item? If you going to charge me for all of that, then you could at least offer me a side item. Once ordered, they wouldn't let me set it on the floor for the service animal. Health codes for that? Ok, I get it. Could have mentioned my full price sandwich meal with no buns, toppings, pickle or side items would have to be to go. I get it though, the 20% tip wouldn't be nearly as high if you would have been honest and straightforward. You got a couple extra bucks on this order but, sadly, will likely not return. read more

Mid City Grill - A delicious throw back in time! These burgers are an amazing mix of chuck, brisket and short rib. Home cut fries- Over a the top! - Sandwiches Near Me - Johnson City, Tennessee

Great diner for assorted eats. So good! Loved the Outlaw Burger, Gravity Burger and Portobello Fingers app. Flavored teas are delish!

Was visiting TN for the week and was looking for a cute divey local place to have lunch and stumbled upon the Mid City grill. One of the reasons I liked this place was because of all the vegetarian and vegan options. My husband isn't a vegetarian so the selection for both of us was great. The food was good, my husband enjoyed his burger. read more

Located downtown, they have a good amount of parking. There is perpendicular parking right across the street, and additional parking in the adjacent lot, as well as more a half block away It's all shared parking, so depending on what's going on downtown, it can get pretty crowded. Handicapped parking it based on the city-owned shared parking, and the only marked spaces are across the street or half a block away. Access is difficult at best. If you get a marked spot, you will need to cross a street, with wheelchair access only from the street corners unless you tip over the curb. The adjacent lot is not paved, so travel is difficult. Entry to the restaurant is also difficult as the sidewalk is uneven. Once inside, there are a couple steps down to the main dining area. For those wheelchair-bound, I believe they could set up a dining area in the side of the foyer. There are a few bar-type seats in the foyer as you enter. Walk past these to the steps down to the main dining area, which seats about 50. Most of the seating is on this level, although there is also a smaller area up a couple steps to the left. It's not truly separated by a wall, but it limits foot traffic. The decor is eclectic. It fits well with the clientele, as you will see college students, families with young children, and older adults all mixed together. At least that's what it looks like when I have been there. Since they are also open a 3am, the clientele may be different then. The menu is mainly burgers, or vegetarian options. They always have a special available, and I have gotten whatever it was each time and been highly pleased. My latest was a buffalo blue burger, which had a dollop of blue cheese on top of a burger doused in buffalo sauce. As always, the burger was cooked to perfection. The condiments and bun were fresh. The fries were hot and more than enough. I almost wish they would provide fewer fries as I cannot eat them all, and I hate wasting them. We also had the hummus plate, which included homemade hummus and sliced pita bread. The hummus was excellent, and the pita was fresh. We have also had the fried pickles, which are some of the best in Johnson City. The servers are top notch. Every one we have had has been pleasant, knowledgeable, and efficient. They are also some of the best in Johnson City, as they can work equally well with customers of all age groups and whoever comes in at 3am. This is a great place to relax, and the menu is diverse enough for everyone in your party to find something interesting to try. Oh, it's also BYOB, so you can bring your favorite beverage to pair with your meal. read more

This was my first time here. We came for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and there weren't many people there. The menu is limited but sometimes simplicity is nice. I had the Philly cheese steak which was excellent I also got the sweet potato fries which were crispy and delish. My husband got a burger. It was kind of small but adequate for lunch. I'd come back but I wouldn't go out of my way. read more

Mid City Grill - Philly Cheesesteak with sweet potato fries - Sandwiches Near Me - Johnson City, Tennessee

Tried this place for lunch while in Johnson City after reading the solid reviews. It's nothing fancy on the inside but they have a good menu and great prices. I got a club sandwich with fries for $9.99. It was very good and a good sized portion for lunch. The service was good and it had a very hometown feel to the place. Will definitely visit again. It's hard to find a solid lunch with a fountain drink for $13 bucks after tax. They even had a separate vegan menu if that's your forte. read more

I really enjoyed midcity Grill. The food was delicious, the service was great, and the atmosphere was perfect for a family gathering. I had a vegan burger with fries. I may not have ordered those fries if I knew what they would taste like. I probably would've gotten plain fries instead of sweet potato fries. But it was fine. The waiter forgot to give us September sent off for checking in but my Brother was too proud to ask for it. If I lived closer to mid city grill I would go again and again. read more

Mid City Grill - Vegan menu - Sandwiches Near Me - Johnson City, Tennessee

Around the Johnson City area, one of the authentic and traditional Southern food. This place is a good substitute for all the other regular fast food chains out there. I got the chicken sandwich and the appetizer sampler. The food is decent and I personally feel the fried pickles and some deep fried stuff were a bit overdone. Anyhow, it is open till 5 AM and is a good place to stop for an after party late night food. read more

Great burger in a cool place. Staff were super friendly and all in all a solid stop. They had a challenge meal called the Coup de Grace and some dude in PJs was trying to put it down at lunch. read more

Tried this place for the first time today cause I saw it had very high ratings and lots of praises. I guess I came on a bad day...? Had lunch---kids had sliders , hubby had Carolina bbq and I had a grilled chicken sandwich. The fries were so seasoned with pepper, no one ate them. My chicken was so incredibly bland, I put some of my salad on it to help it out. Hubby did enjoy his BBQ and the kids liked the sliders. I gave it 3 stars cause the staff is so incredibly friendly and prices were great. I will try a burger next time (yes i will try it again cause I get places have off days!) and no season on the fries! Will update review then. read more

Outstanding service and a sweet little discovery! We tried the special this morning and was absolutely delicious. Will be back

I wish I could give them a NO STAR!!! My wife and I drove from Nashville TN to have lunch here and arrived at 1359hrs to find the door closed. I called the number on the door and a very rude lady said they close at 2pm. I pointed out that it was 1359hrs when I tried to pull on the door. The restaurant was full. We had been in the area a few times and tried 3 previous times to eat here and they were closed once for maint issue and the other two times we had no idea why they were closed. I felt like Clark Griswald arriving at Wally World only to have the door slammed in my face. I will not make another attempt at dining at this fictional restaurant. read more

Decided to try the one in Kingsport. The staff was very sweet and attentive. The food was good and establishment clean. The only down side was the AC was not working . We will definitely go back again. read more

Mid City Grill is one of my favorite places to eat in Johnson City. The location, hours, and atmosphere are all fantastic, the servers (and delivery driver) are all super friendly, and most importantly the food is BOMB every single time! Portions are pretty big too and they have a vegan menu (which has some really good stuff on it even if you aren't vegan) Mid City is my favorite pre weekend night out downtown spot, but it's also my favorite place to call when I'm having a night in and don't wanna cook. You can't go wrong here. read more

We're downtown Kingsport residents and have been eagerly anticipating Mid City Grill's Kingsport location opening. We had a cheeseburger and a grilled chicken salad. Everything was delicious!
