We took three of our friends with us and we were all very happy with our meals. I got the special of the day, country fried steak with white gravy and a side of fried okra. It was the best okra and white gravy I have tried. I am from the south and no one has served better okra and Drew's. The burgers were huge and two of my fiends said they highly recommend them. I don't think anyone could go wrong with trying Drew's.

Nice place. Very clean. No annoying trendy Knick knacks, just tasteful decoration…read more Had a burger that was a good size and expertly cooked on the grill. Also the bun was grilled to perfection. All the fixings were fresh and crisp. Crinkle cut fries were also good. Service was very friendly. Kind and familiar but still very professional. I've no complaints about Drew's and will def go back.

Can't say enough about this place. We stopped here, because we wanted BBQ while on a road trip…read moreand this was close by. We were greeted and seated immediately. The bartender suggested a watermelon wheat beer after asking what kind I normally drink, and it was a perfect pick for me. Loved it! The beer was cold and refreshing. The food was fantastic. We ordered the pulled pork platter. The food came out so fast, we were shocked. It was hot and delicious. Tender, flavorful bbq, with two sauces both of which were very flavorful. My husband's baked beans were so tasty, I wish I had ordered some. The cole slaw was definitely made in house and was some of the best I've had in a while. Will definitely put this place on our list to stop again when we are passing through.

Each person had a order of biscuit and gravy at our table. The waitress brought out the party of 4's order first because "they had biscuit and gravy". Once they decided to bring ours out they had forgotten to make mine. I told her that I was fine and to cancel it, she then was rude and kept saying I was mad when I was nothing but polite. Shortly after the entire kitchen staff decided to take a smoke break right by the front door. I'm sure that it could be an off day but this experience was not good.

Yes, a 4 star country kitchen with an extensive menu and two delightful women who run the place…read more The hours very by the day if the week. 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.

I was hungry for a good burger and liked the looks of one from this place. I ordered the Big Bacon…read moreCheeseburger and fries. This burger did not disappoint!! Very tasty beef, cheddar cheese melted over it, and a ton of really nice, thick bacon! The tomato and lettuce were farm fresh! The very generous portion of fries were hand cut style and cooked perfectly. Seriously good stuff here. My only gripe is that there is a decrepit old van sitting next to the building that has obviously been there a while. It has a 110v window a/c unit mounted in the drivers side. Does someone in the restaurant live in this?? I don't know, but it makes one question the cleanliness of the restaurant and/or owner. Pretty weird...

If you live within an hour of this place and have not been, I have to ask... what are you even…read moredoing?! :-) This place is a joint of joints. Run by 2 brothers that moved down from Philly. The service was fast and friendly. Like eating at a Friends house. The food was excellent!!! I mean outstanding. Only 'complaint', I wish there more fries in the serving. Heck, charge me a buck or 2 more and fill that basket. :-) The restaurant only has a few tables but spaced out nicely. I cannot say this strongly enough... go here as soon as you are able!! I'm going to get a Philly cheesesteak the next time I visit - but not the 6 pounder that is the current challenge they have going on. :-) Highly recommend.

Hob-Nob drive-in was plenty busy for a late lunch on a Saturday. There are maybe 30 seats inside…read morebut, as the name implies, they do drive-in service as well if you want to stay in your car. We grabbed a booth (you can seat yourself when you go in). Make sure you go in through the ENTER door. We started with waters while we looked over the menu. The waters were 32 oz to go cups! It's been 10 days since our visit and I think I'm still sipping on that water. It was a LOT of water. Our order consisted of a two hot dogs, onion rings, milkshakes, and a hot caramel cake. The hot dogs were good. Not great, but good. The onion rings were very nearly burnt. Probably just a touch too crispy. The milkshakes were ok. But one thing moved this review from a 3 to 4 star: the hot caramel cake. Holy cow. I know it was relatively simple but the yellow cake cupcake, in a bowl filled to the brim with hot caramel sauce, and a tower of vanilla soft serve....YUM! I'd come back here just for that. The service was hit or miss depending on who stopped by the table. All in all, I'd return but I'd try a burger and get a hot caramel cake AND a hot fudge cake.

The best BBQ in Johnson City!…read more The location is what you'd expect from a traditional BBQ joint - nice big tables/booths. Some TV's for sports etc. The food though is what is beyond amazing - the pulled pork and the brisket are my go-to's. Their sides are also fantastic - collard greens are literally to die for, the cornbread pudding is delectable, and they have the best vinegar cole slaw I've ever had. Make sure to get the banana pudding if they're not already sold out!

It was packed the day before Independence Day as several folks were getting take out (good sign) I ordered the large Chopped Brisket Platter with collard greens, potato salad, and it came with a roll. The platter was enough for 2 that I shared with my wife. The brisket was well smoked yet juicy. It really didn't need sauce but I tried 4 of the 6 available. They had their own NC sauce that was my favorite as it had the best combo of vinegar and spices. Others included Bama, SC, Texas, Original, Sweet and Spicy, and a hotter one that had zip but not real heat. The potato salad was traditional with a hint of mustard and pickle juice. The collard greens were delicious and well cooked / fresh The Banana Puddling was a delight. None of the parts overwhelmed the others and the vanilla wafers were soft but not soggy They have several folding tables to sit on the inside but set up for mostly carry-out. Staff was friendly even while working hard to get people served in a timely manner. It cost us around $25 plus tip but it fed 2 people.

It's been awhile since I've eaten at the restaurant but we use their catering anytime we have a working lunch. Our food includes: Baked potatoes with all the toppings - these things are really large and tasty Corn casserole - y'all this stuff is the BOMB!! So tasty I can't help but go back for seconds. I recommend a drizzle of sweet heat and the white bbq sauce over top Mac and cheese - so creamy with a white cheddar mixture. A crowd favorite. Pulled pork - perfectly cooked and tender. So much flavor in just the meat. Some of the best I had. Smoked chicken breast - YUM!!! So tender with a great smoked flavor. I find myself just snacking on extra pieces when we have leftover. And the sauces!!! All of them are good but my personal recommendation is a combination of Sweet Heat and the White Sauce. Prices are very reasonable for high end BBQ so grab yourself a combo plate (make sure to include the corn casserole) and ENJOY!!! You won't be disappointed!!!
