Meat Combo w 2 sides. Pick 3. Bologna bites, pulled pork, ribs. Collards & onion rings
Alana R.

Second time in and was not disappointed with our options. Even for a larger group with children, and the fact they ran out of brisket this visit, the staff, the environment and food was enjoyable. Music was a tad bit on the loud side, it was hard to hear our waitress and her hear some of us ordering but, no real complaints as they played Metallica, Queen, and several other greats on the playlist. The place crowded up easily by 6:30 but everyone nearby seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves. Our table all had the same remarks, "food was surprisingly GOOD" and they'd "come back again". PS....order the fried pickles (spears)!!! Much better than pickle chips.

I visited here around 4pm on a weekday and the restaurant did not have many customers. However as time went by the older crowd came in for an early dinner. My colleague and I were still eating lunch though. I tried the 2 meat platter with brisket and sausage. The sausage was like Eckrich, even though the waitress said its homemade. I asked if it was beef or pork and she just nodded her head yes. I guess I should have known at that point. Brisket was mostly dry as a bone. The baked beans were ok and the Mac n cheese was pretty good as well. My fav may have been the spicy bbq sauce tho. I didn't even eat any of the cornbread. My colleague who also ordered bbq was not super impressed with his meal, as it's pretty hard to find good Texas style bbq outside of Texas. Overall, if I ever came back,I would likely try something else on the menu.

Greeted right away. Friendly service. Clean restaurant. There are multiple tables and plenty of seats at the bar. I chose this place based on reviews and its location. Glad I did. It was great. A little expensive but I guess everything is these days. The cheeseburger was cooked just as I had requested. The hand cut fries were delicious, filling and not overly greasy. The raspberry sauce and butter sauces are a MUST ORDER. They charge $1.00 per sauce although the menu said 2 for .99 cents. I probably could have gotten an adjustment on the bill but I didn't feel like waiting and honestly, they were worth the price. The BBQ and spicy sauces on the table are free and were good as well. The bathrooms were clean and odor free. The baked beans are good; they have a lot of meat in them. The pulled pork was good; you put your own sauce on it. I love the toasted bun on the sandwich and the hamburger. We will be back and we will take all guests who come to visit us. It was $29.00 for two of us-water to drink but worth it.

Sliced Brisket, Smoked Turkey, Mac and Cheese, Baked Beans and a nice Stout.

I was in Kingsport for a couple days of training and found the Ole Crow Tavern through a recommendation from the hotel staff. This was an excellent choice! I got the 2-meat platter with sliced brisket and smoked turkey. Both were well smoked and tender without being mushy. The brisket had a nice smoke ring. Their Mac and Cheese was amazing - creamy with lots of cheese and a little heat. The Baked Beans were also great - not sure if it was pulled pork or brisket, but the meat added some punch to the beans. I finished off with their blackberry cobbler and ice cream - tasty and not too sweet. The ice cream went well with the blackberries. The only downside was they didn't have any coffee options for the dessert, but I guess I shouldn't complain since it is a bar, after all. The ambiance was very good - not too loud or distracting, especially considering how full the place was.

Danny's Bacon Jam burger

I had Danny's Bacon Jam burger. It was delicious. The selection of beer on tap is good. The Old Fashion that I had after dinner was great. The service was very good too. The Ole Crow Tavern has a casual atmosphere which is great for chilling out.

3 meat platter

DELICIOUS! Burgers or BBQ or BBQ on Burgers, oh my plenty of options to make the taste buds dance. The Raspberry Chipotle on a 1/2 lb burger topped with sliced brisket and bacon is triple thumbs up. Don't let the "tavern" side scare you off, was decent volume to allow table conversations with out yelling (6:30 on a Friday). Roll up your sleeves and tuck your napkin in and enjoy some good ol' sticky fingers and lip smacking Q.

Cocktail of the Week(So Yummy), and Moscow Mule!!

We stayed in one of their dog friendly room. It cost $50 extra a day to bring your dog. The room…read morewas near the back entrance. Which was nice to let her in and out quickly. The room walls are thin so we heard a lot of noise from the outside waking us up early in the morning. You also have to pay for parking at 25 a night but there was a lot of construction making it difficult to get our car out. I know not the hotels fault but definitely keep that in mind. They had really nice robes. They also had a sound machine in the room. We had a thing on the wall that would randomly flash at night and beep. We had issues with the bathroom. The door would not close all the way and We could not get hot water when we tried to shower late at night. We had to go to the front desk and they had to call maintenence which took a bit to work through the issue. Eventually they got the hot water back but an annoying time waster. They discount our stay at 10% for the issue. The breakfast was really nice full of local pastries. The staff was so nice and friendly. The lobby area and bar was super nice and had a cute vibe. The roof top is super pretty at nice with nice fire pits. The staff was super friendly. I would have rated a 4 star but the price was high plus the issues we had knocked it down a star.

This review is for a 2 night hotel stay- not the bar. We highly recommend staying!…read more It is a quaint hotel, very homey feeling! The front desk staff is so nice and helpful. Our favorite part was the location. It was so conveniently located. They have a front door with access to king street and a back door to Howard street which was convenient. We were able to come and go easily. The rooms aren't huge but had everything we needed including a mini fridge and the shower was really nice. Of note- it didn't have a huge window in the room, just a small one towards the ceiling. There was a tv with lots of channels and a channel guide. We received some coupons and recommendations to nearby businesses which was a nice touch. Our experience was a bit different because it was very snowy so we couldn't enjoy the rooftop bar. The parking was also tricky- they have a loading zone right in front for checking in, but we circled the block several times and it was taken every time so it was kind of a pain to unload our car. We also had trouble finding the parking lot (even with the address, directions and map) which is behind the hotel, across the street and diagonal from the hotel. We had to circle a few times to find it. But that may have just been because it was dark and snowing. Our favorite part was definitely the breakfast. It is at the downstairs bar. It is complementary when you purchase the parking pass, and you order what you want from a menu. They have lots of options, including fresh fruit, hard-boiled eggs, and lots of pastries and baked goods from stick boy bakery in town. We love stick boy so this was amazing! So high quality and tasty! They also have other things available for purchase like avocado toast. They also have coffee from a local coffee shop available all day. We would go back!!!

One truly remembers a place this wonderful. Located in beautiful quaint Jonesboro, there are many uniques shops and restaurants. Tennessee Hills offers tastings. The personnel are knowledgeable and friendly. We have had some of the best conversations with the staff and customers. This time we had lunch at the cafe next door. Fantastic food choices the Reuben and spicy chicken sandwiches get my highest recommendation. They offer a great number of mixed drinks made with their craft distilled spirits. Several Sunday football games were on the TVs in the cafe. The mood was festive in the cafe. Tennessee Hills has a new location in Bristol too! We will be back again and again!

We were checking out the city of Jonesborough, Tennessee and drove into the historic downtown area…read more We found street parking that made it easy to walk and explore. From our parking spot, we spotted Tennessee Hills Distillery and knew we needed to check it out. The Tennessee Hills Distillery opened in the historic Salt House of Jonesborough in 2016. We were immediately impressed with the downtown area of Jonesborough and the salt house in which Tennessee Hills Distillery is located. The building itself is amazing and is something that we would love to have as our own. We are drawn to historic commercial buildings that are being preserved and renovated to house businesses and/or homes. After walking inside, we were even more impressed. They were offering complimentary tastings and we decided to participate. We thought the pineapple upside down cake rum was delicious. They have a wide selection of liquor ranging from whiskey, flavored whiskey, rum, flavored rum, gin and vodka. They also have some nice SWAG for purchase and unique gift items. We purchased a bottle of their Pineapple Upside Down Cake Rum to give to our good friends. Overall, this was a great visit and we highly recommend to others.

Hey friends! I went out with some new coworkers to this cool spot downtown…read more This spot is the rose that grew from concrete. Bristol is a rural town but certain areas are becoming more chic, such as this rooftop bar. I ordered a brown sugar old fashioned to start with. It was AMAZING. I would definitely recreate it at home, the flavors balance perfectly. For my entree, I had the chicken sandwich. The batter was perfectly crispy and seasoned well. I like that they use chicken thighs, which are juicy and makes for a delicious sandwich. Fries were okay, I wish they weren't steak fries. +Our server was friendly! She recommended great menu items. +Limited parking +Outdoor seating with a beautiful overlook of the city. Indoor seating as well. +Prices are a little above average. +Restaurant was clean and well stocked. I hope enjoy!

Hands down, people, this is the best bar in Bristol. Why?…read more Happy Hour! M-F from 2-5pm, all the Shareables are 50% off and drinks are really discounted! It's a really great way to try the food! Food (5/5): Elevated bar food! The kitchen from the downstairs restaurant, Vivian's Table, makes the food and it is really delicious. We tried the popcorn shrimp, which are breaded and crispy. Really great. We of course, had to try the Mountain of fries - these are matchstick fries and the best part was the three different sauces that come with it. The chipotle ketchup was my favorite. We also tried the wings, which were good..I am not a huge wing fan, though. The jalapeno poppers (wrapped in bacon with a cheese filing) were great, as were the steak nachos. And of course, the hummus with the fry bread was great, too. My hubby liked the hazy IPA that was on draft. Even better at $3.50 a pint during Happy Hour. I really liked the cocktails - some of my favorite was a new espresso based tequila (for the summer menu) and the creamsicle. Service (5/5): Everyone up here is super nice - the manager Landry, bartender Raine and all the servers were really fantastic. Ambiance (5/5): Location - This is the top of the Bristol Hotel, and one of the only rooftop bars in Bristol. From the top you have a lovely view of the famous Bristol sign, great when it lights up at night.

It might have just been the holiday rush, but I always figure "busy means good," so my expectations were high--and The Local didn't disappoint. We started with the nachos; they were delicious, though I do wish they came with a bit more meat. For mains, the burger was outstanding--probably one of the best we've had in the entire area. We also ordered the Brazilian steak, which was cooked perfectly and came with great plantains. The quinoa with tofu was good, too, though it was a little dry and would have been perfect with a sauce. The service really stood out. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and refilled my water at least four times without me asking. Great ambiance and an all-around good experience.

Not being too hungry, but knowing we needed something, we decided to just split an order of the pulled pork nachos. The food came out fairly quickly, looked and tasted great. They did not skimp on toppings. Staff was friendly, food was good, only complaint is it was very dark inside, and surprisingly loud in the restaurant, I can't imagine being there with live music, I assume it would be impossible to have a conversation.
