If I was a building this would be me. Waitress was wonderful. Friendly and patient. Able to answer a few questions. Salad was good. I had the tot- nachos with pulled pork. Very good. Ma had a pulled pork sammich. She liked it. I ordered some sorta burnt ends with onions and taters as a to-go for home as the lil missus had to work. That was a mistake. I snuck a preview bite out of the to go box... man was it good. Made me regret the tot nacho pork plate. Anywho- it was a good experience. I'll go back. You should as well.

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!

Brisket burgers are bangers too . Chicken breast are very tender , juicy and full flavor . Pizza did I mention they have pizza , yes pizza and it's not to bad . I could list literally everything from the menu after several experiences it would be a book . I have literally had everything on the menu over the last 2 months while in the area .

Joey was the shift manager (I hope I got his position correct). He gave us a tour of the restaurant and gave us a history of the area. Everyone in the restaurant was very polite and welcoming. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. It had numerous photos on the wall and had a real working Firetruck that was about 100 years old. We will be back again.

Overall, Firehouse was a fun spot for a family lunch. The experience, atmosphere, service, and value were all positives, but I was a bit underwhelmed by the brisket in particular. That said, the food was still good and I'd recommend a visit.

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.

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.

The outdoor area can be loud due to its close proximity to the busy street. Not really much of a view; just the parking area and passing cars. Plenty of parking in front and to the side. They do have an inside dining area, but the host didn't give us that option. Our waitress was nice but wasn't very knowledgeable about the food; I asked her if the shrimp poboy came on hard or soft bread. She said soft so I ordered that. It was toasted to the point of being rock hard; actually cut my lip on it. Otherwise the poboy was pretty good, just hard to eat. The wife enjoyed her burger, but it wasn't anything special. And neither of us cared much for their side of chips; it's clearly their attempt to be different by not serving the usual French fries. But in our opinions, it's a fail. They were neither a tasty potato chip nor a fry, but something in between, that even ketchup couldn't make tasty. Interesting place to visit once, but I doubt we'll be back.

Counter service inside a near two deck building overlooking a bar. Nice array of combos to select. Ordered the thigh and leg "oh Holy Ghost" style which came with 2 sides. The fried okra was fantastic. The curried brussels felt like they were frozen out of one of those steamed bags and didn't get a ton of the curry note. The chicken though was outrageously good! Crisp and loads of heat. Hiccups after 3 bites and took about 15 mins to get through 2 pieces. Prior, they asked if I wanted milk but opted for a side of ranch which blended well with the chicken.

Decided to go with three tenders and a side: you can have different sauces so I went to medium and hot. The hot was hotter but not as much flavor so I will just get medium next time.
