Good Food Awesome Staff Service Friendly Environment Atmosphere is Great Ambuance is Awesome

Absolutely will not accommodate large parties, even if you are okay with sitting separately. Weird! Instead, they suggested a table outside in 82 degree heat. Then stated that they could seat the reservation inside for 5 and add one more chair to the table making it 6. However, other 4 would have to sit outside despite the fact that other tables were available inside. Very strange experience, but essentially resulted in 10 people leaving. Customers that have eaten there several times. Very disappointed. I guess the resolution is if you have large parties and don't mind sitting separately...just don't act like you are together. Otherwise, you are treated like a pariah. read more

The service was on point. The drinks were delicious--cider and a mixed drink. The food was really good. Three burgers all cooked perfectly on the flat top. The fries were crisped and well salted. The catfish was ok. Lamb meatballs were a touch garlicky but still tasty. The appetizer of the house ricotta was loved by all. We will be back. read more

We were lucky to be introduced to this gem when in Johnson City for a family event. Dinner on Friday on the patio was absolutely amazing. Great spot for our larger party and the service was perfect. Then, there was the food. I live in Nashville and love the restaurant scene we've created but I'd be hard tasked to find the flavors and culinary artistry that I found at Timber. Our group basically took a tour of the menu and there were so many standouts. We fought over the corn ribs. Who would ever thought about putting white bbq sauce on corn, genius. The beet salad, was actually a real beet salad, not a few sliced beets on a bed of lettuce, delicious. I will dream about the white bean fritters on the veggie platter, not to take anything away from the accompanying eggplant. Then there was the crispy rice salad. The consistency and the flavors were amazing. As luck would have it the following day they catered our family event, what a treat!! The trout dip, farrow salad, chicken salad and curried vegetables were all 5+ stars. Thank goodness we had leftovers and I can continue to enjoy these goodies! Then there were the cocktails, what a great job. The West Walnut was my favorite but everyone was absolutely delighted by their choices. Finally everyone from top to bottom was efficient, incredibly personable and there to make sure we had a great evening. One of my favorite restaurant experiences in a long time, thank you. Can't wait to come back, thank you so much!! read more

We sat at the bar and got exceptional service. Food was excellent. Started with the butternut squash and lamb meatballs then split the chicken sandwich. Everything top notch.. Awesome drink menu...Brandon is an awesome bartender!! read more

Honestly, this is one of the best meals I've had in a long time - hands down. I live in an area of NC that is bursting with "upscale" and inventive dining options, and Timber! blew them all away. The first hint that I was going to enjoy my meal was the cleverly mangled cocktail umbrella that graced my (aptly-named) Hurricane. I appreciate a good cocktail as much as I do a subtle joke, and both delivered. After much deliberation, my husband and I ordered the beef tartare (perfectly chopped and herbed), lamb meatballs (juicy), corn ribs with Alabama white sauce (YUM), endive Cesar salad (crispy, refreshing), fried green tomatoes, corn/tapioca fritters with crab salad, and mushroom tartine. Stand-outs were the fried green tomatoes which were the decadent embodiment of summertime, as well as the mushroom tartine which was warming and earthy in the best way possible. The only thing I could only have one of was the corn-tapioca fritters which were unique in texture but on the heavier side due to being fried. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff/servers. All in all, a delicious meal with a plentiful-but-manageable range of options. I live 4 hours away but would gladly make the drive to come back here. Seriously. read more

Excellent seating options and friendly staff made this place a good experience. The food was prepared nicely and presented well. There was enough room in the outside dining area to have plenty of room between tables. The peach ice cream was also excellent. Plenty of vegan options too! read more

Dropped our daughter off at ETSU and needed an adult beverage and a bite. Never expected to find/enjoy some of the best food we've had in years (coming from a lifelong foodie). Timbers. Timbers was ridiculously delicious. My husband and I sat at the bar and the bartender, Brandon, hooked us up. Fabulous cocktails, perfectly balanced. And the food!!! What the heck Johnson City!? Salmon belly tartine? Hangar steak beef tartar? Chilled eggplant salad? Perfect balance of flavors, textures, preparation and presentation. Hesitated giving them a shout out as looked to be busy on a random Wednesday, ha! Check them out and enjoy some top notch quality food at incredibly reasonable prices for the caliber/quality of food and service. Cheers! read more

Food was amazing Tried 12 different items on the menu they were all outstanding! Service was excellent, friendly, and knowledgeable. First time here and very impressed. read more

Have enjoyed eating there several times. Menu is always changing. Enjoyed eating with friends in a tent. Great dining experiences every time I have visited. read more

This restaurant has been on my list for a while and I'm so glad we finally decided to try it out!! The restaurant itself was so cute, I just wish it had been nicer and we could have sat outside or in one of the tents! We got brussel sprouts and the ranch dusted Dino nuggets to start and they were both FAB! I got the pork Au Jus for dinner and it was so so good and the fries were perfection! They also have a great drink menu! Definitely will make another trip here! read more

I don't write many reviews on Yelp. I like to "lurk" and see what everyone else writes/thinks. Timber!! compelled me write a 5 star review. Tri-cities food scene is lacking to put it nicely. Timber hit on all cylinders. Food, service, ambience, drinks, etc. If I really wanted to nit-pick I guess there could have been music out back on the lovely patio area. Not only is Timber a great spot for the tri-cities but this place is better than most restaurants in Nashville(where I live) or Asheville(where I visit a lot). I go every time I'm back in JC. Keep up the great work guys!!!! read more

Timber! - Corn ribs with the dry rub. Fried green tomatoes and trout(?) dip with what looks like house made crackers. All was delicious - Bars Near Me - Johnson City, Tennessee

Great outdoor space. Campy and fun. They even have some old skool tents over picnic benches. And the food--we tried the grilled ramps and it was perfect w the cheese plate and Dino-tenders. Yes chicken nuggets w tons of flavor and a kick. I just love this place and always delighted with the cheeky inventiveness of the food. Feel fortunate to have this in our lil town! Hats off to the chef and the servers. The bubbly drink was great too. read more

We had our first visit to Timber tonight. The menu was very unique and the quality was fantastic! Service was very friendly and timely. Will definitely go back again soon. Ambiance was a little loud so it was hard to have a conversation but if you are in a boisterous mood, it is great fun. read more

First time eating at Timber! and it was AMAZING. I heard great things about the restaurant and it lived up to the hype. Great food and service.- read more

The best food in Johnson City. Many have tried but failed either in quality, service or presentation. The decor is rustic and minimalist with wooden tables a bit close but the restaurant is a bit small. A most unassuming location near a laundry mat. Do not let this interfere with your visit. Service was excellent and the craft cocktails unique, interesting and good. My partner had Fried Green Tomatoes. Two 3/4 inch slices which were tender and firm with a coating that crackled when cut and remained attached to the tomato. The tomato must have been cooked Sous Vide to keep such shape and tenderness. Served with a whipped goat cheese and honey. Divine. I had Steak Tartare with sourdough chips. Excellent, though I at first question the addition of tomatoes. It worked well. Entrees: Pork Belly, no slices here. Presented with a four inch round 1/2 thick slab with a crisp outer crust and a tender juicy center. Awesome sweet potato purée and pickled chayote, charred scallion and aji mojo vinaigrette, shallots. Shawarma Lamb Neck. An experience in itself. A beautiful bone in hunk of lamb on a service plate accompanied by chili oil pickles , herb salad , lemon, lamb jus and paratha roti flat bread. The crowd was a mix of young and young at heart. Everyone engaged in pleasant and seemingly happy conservation. Thank you for no TV Screens or blaring air pollution . Bravo read more

Highly recommended! Great food, great drinks, great service in a comfortable atmosphere. Cozy indoors with a fun slide show and cool bar. Good spacing between guests. Fun outdoors with plenty of seating and low contact games like darts and giant dice. We lived it up with several apps, sides, entrees and desserts. Creative takes on classic dishes; all delicious! read more

Love Timber! The food, service and casual atmosphere are amazing! Always a win in our books!

I've had my eye on this restaurant for a while now, and finally stopped by tonight with a friend. What a delightful experience! Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious. The house-made ricotta with watermelon radishes and a little baguette was incredible- so creamy, perfect flavors, just amazing. Then the farrow salad was just next level- the hazelnuts add a toasty crunch, the herbs make it divine. We also had the beets with whipped tahini and it was just great. The orange wine was great, and my friend said her martini was too. We ended the night with smoked vanilla ice cream and it was sooo creamy, and the smoked salt was just perfect in it. The environment is really nice too- not stuffy or too fancy, decorated in a national parks theme, nice soft lighting. The bartender was awesome and so helpful and knowledgeable. We had a great night. 5 stars all the way. read more

The place was full when we visited Timber, so we waited and ate at the bar once seats opened up. The drinks were well made, the food was very tasty, and the service was superb! The place did not look special on the outside, but our experience inside was quite special. read more

Food is always amazing. Our favorite restaurant in Johnson City. Menu is always freshened up,

Best chicken sandwich I've had in Johnson City. Beet salad was awesome as well. And I don't typically like beets.

After being open only for a month, I think they're doing a pretty damn good job. My girlfriend and I went last night, and we thought the food was delicious, plate presentation was excellent, and the service wasn't too bad. The portions aren't the largest, but the quality of the food and the presentation of the dish makes up for it. Here's my tips for the owners/management: 1) Have a sign when you walk in with a stack of menus letting people to know order at the bar. Currently when you walk in it's a little confusing if you don't know the process, and you have to fight your way through the crowd to get a menu. 2) Have a divider or something to split the order area off from the bar - there was a bit of a cluster up there and nobody knew who was hanging out or who was ordering. 3) Parking is kinda tough, and without lines around the sides of the building, people don't know how to park efficiently. Parking space lines would be helpful, or a statement on street parking would be helpful. read more

Seriously the best food in town. I've had almost the whole menu at this point. Nothing is bad. The burger and fries are excellent for the price and the nicer things on the menu are worth it. read more

Timber! is by far my new favorite spot! The food is absolutely delicious. You can tell so much thought and consideration was put into each dish. I highly recommend the pisco sour!

Stopped in the other night with friends for our first visit. Sampled multiple items off the Leave No Trace (limited/seasonal) menu and enjoyed some of the best food we have had in the fifteen years we've been in the area. Seriously, it's that good. Servers was super nice and the chef even came out to say hi. An all around great experience. read more

This is Johnson City's best new spot to eat! We were thrilled to see this place open with amazing renovations, and this restaurant really just fits right in. Expect farm to table, supporting local businesses and agriculture, tasty beverages, and an atmosphere where everyone is welcome. Feeling snazzy..dress up! Just left the Tweetsie Trail..come as you are! Order at the counter and find a comfy spot. We had a burger and the veggie plate--both delicious! Fries with the burger were great, and we loved the sauce that come with! My new favorite spot! read more

Timber! - Bars Near Me - Johnson City, Tennessee

The only legit charcuterie board in the Tri-Cities, rather than the usual Oscar Meyer and Kraft selections served at other restaurants in the area. Quality of food was on spot, and it's great to support local farm to table. Cocktails were great. Service and bartenders were very friendly. Outdoor area has great potential - bocce ball would be great. One star deducted for the ordering logistics and layout. Shouldn't have to walk through part of the kitchen to go outside. Hopefully they'll do well enough to expand into the store space next door. read more

Gourmet made to order food check. Unique cocktails check. Such a great little find located on Walnut street. You order your food at the bar and the friendly staff bring it to you. Simple amazing menu. We enjoyed the wings, cheese board and hamburger. The sizes are small sort of like tapas so order a few. The little one had corn dogs. Great place for a good cheat meal! read more

Absolutely fantastic service and great food! Highly recommend the fried chicken sandwich - make it JC hot if you can handle it (not too bad). Calamari was yummy, and the Dirt dessert was unique and delicious. Shoutout to our server (don't know his name but is mastering in math) for keeping up with our crazy tables. read more
