I have not eaten at EVERY sandwich shop in the Tri Cities, but their Corned Beef sandwich and their Reuben would be hard to beat. If there was one improvement point it would be size of meat, etc. However, their prices are VERY REASONABLE and their meat is EXCELLENT! Their corned beef is shaved, it is lean, it is moist, and I could eat two of those sandwiches they were so good. The standard corned beef is more of a lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise version but they accommodated me: I had toasted bread, mustard and heated meat. Was it NY deli good? No. But, was it NY deli priced? No! A Reuben and a Corned Beef was $16 with tax! We took our sandwiches to Yee Haw, grabbed some beers, and had a great lunch

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.

We drove from Johnson City to Kingsport one morning looking for something quick, and as always, I trusted my Yelp peeps to point us toward something good. Big As Biscuits & Burgers is tucked inside a gas station but don't let that deter you for a second. These biscuits are no joke. We were originally thinking of a sit-down breakfast, but my partner is a full-blown biscuit enthusiast. If we see biscuits, we try the biscuits. So we stopped in, and the woman behind the counter was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We grabbed a ginormous biscuit for just over $3. She had all the single-serve jams and jellies ready to go, which I appreciated. We took it back to the car to eat. First impression: this thing requires two hands. It's massive. She had already sliced it for us, and when I opened it up, you could see the buttery pockets where it melted into the dough while baking. It wasn't ultra-layered and flaky like a laminated biscuit, but it was perfectly soft on the inside with a beautiful crunch on the outside. The flavor was spot on!!! Soft, warm, buttery and comforting. We added a little jam, though honestly it didn't even need butter. It was that good. If you're looking for a quick, satisfying bite that will absolutely fill your belly, stop at Big As Biscuits & Burgers. We're already talking about grabbing a few more to bring back to the hotel before we leave town. Sometimes the best finds are inside a gas station and sometimes a biscuit really can make your morning.

Not because they are big since you expect that from the name but because they are right. Crisp buttery crust and fluffy yet moist interior. 60% of biscuits in the world are failures due to a dry interior. Another 20% fail for being too dense and wet, cakey instead of fluffy. Big As Biscuit does it right and nails the texture. The breakfast biscuit offerings are fast food like but definitely a step up from the nat'l chains. The variety is astounding and I imagine almost everyone can get one exactly as they want. The burgers: Don't try to get one on Saturday. Sadly I was told they don't prep them on Saturday. The rest of the week though the burgers are worth the drive for a lunch if you're within striking distance. It's a good size and the fixins are fresh. It's been awhile since I had one so I'm short on details. I remember enjoying it though and ranking it above any fast food burger. I did try to get another one last Saturday so obviously I'd go back for one. I got a steak biscuit instead. It was a very thin food service chicken fried steak. Half its thickness was breading. It was good eaten alone. Inside of a biscuit though it was basically a mouthful of bread. The eggs also were a food service product I think. Two homogeneous pale yellow egg pucks were on my steak biscuit. A little institutional but they tasted ok. I wouldn't get the steak biscuit again as it's too bready but I am looking forward to trying a sausage or ham biscuit. Either way with the size of the biscuit it's a lot of food. I don't imagine there's too many of us that would want two for breakfast I can legitimately recommend you give this place a try. It's good food and plenty of it.

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.

I loved my biscuits and gravy. The gravy was a darker color but the sausage was so flavorful and it was light in pepper which I like because I don't like pepper. The biscuit was a really great size and fluffy. The bacon is not thick cut but still Crispy and good, eggs were cooked nicely. Now on to the cheddar rounds..... I try these all over but these are the absolute closest you will get to the Pals version. They were lacking the season salt which would have made them taste like Pals. Over all I was very happy and will definitely be back!!! Also the prices were good (pic of menu (included)
