I was a teacher and coach at the local high school fifty years ago, and so I decided to have…read morebreakfast here on the off chance I might encounter someone I had taught (I left the area in 1979). There were photos on the wall of one of the teams I had coached. I asked someone about it and it turned out I had coached the person I asked. It made my morning. The service was very friendly and the food was tasty with ample portions. The cost was very reasonable. If I were to be in the area again, I wouldn't hesitate to stop here for breakfast again. After the food and conversation, I continued on my way to Elizabethton for a round of golf.

Located along Kingsport Highway, it's pretty easy to spot as long you know about where it is. The…read moreolder white building is set back a bit from the road and has the name in a light blue along the front. Parking is a paved lot but there really aren't any marked spaces. There is room adjacent to the building and more along the highway. I did not notice any specific handicapped spaces but the paved lot and no steps makes travel and entry fairly easy. We were greeted as we walked in and told to find a seat anywhere. Seating is a mix of booths and tables. We selected a small table on the other side of a half wall that splits the seating area into two parts. Our waitress dropped off menus and took our drink order right away. The drinks came back quickly and we asked for a few more minutes to look through the fairly large menu. After a couple more minutes, our waitress came by without being reminded and took our order. The food took a good 20 minutes to arrive. A few people who arrived after us got their orders before us so I don't know if there was a mix up in the kitchen or what. The food was hot when brought to the table, so for whatever reason ours just took longer. The Sunrise breakfast includes two eggs, a meat choice, and either biscuit or toast. The eggs and bacon were cooked as requested, and the biscuit was light and fluffy. My dining partner asked for jelly and was brought small cups of butter and jelly. There was plenty to enjoy on the biscuit without having to open the typical little jelly containers. The country breakfast included two eggs, a meat choice, and a biscuit and gravy. The eggs were cooked as requested. The sausage patty was done but not overdone. The biscuit was excellent, and the sausage gravy seems to be made from real fat so it has a ton of flavor. There was not a lot of sausage pieces, but certainly enough to notice. The flavor was outstanding and was the highlight of the meal. Blue Gills is an excellent choice for breakfast, and I am now looking forward to trying their lunch menu. There are a couple burgers that caught my eye.

Seriously, this is the best Jamaican jerk sauce and jerk chicken I've had--no exaggeration. Every…read moretime we visit, I leave with bottles of the sauce and their spice because it's that good. On our most recent trip, we sat outside and had excellent service. The food came out quickly, which was a nice surprise, and everything was on point. I ordered the jerk chicken grilled sandwich with pub fries--both were really good, packed with flavor, and cooked perfectly. The place has a very cool, eclectic vibe with a unique atmosphere, plus a solid beer selection to round it out. Great spot overall--highly recommend.

You do not hear this kind of silence in restaurants most of the time now, but after a busy day in shopping centers blaring music all day, it was so refreshing. The staff were amazing. They seemed a little shorthanded, but they handled everything with a cheery, laid-back attitude that made me feel at ease. Felt like a fun place to work based on the attitude of the workers alone. I had the slow-roasted turkey breast with mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, glazed baby carrots, and cranberry on the side. Every item was delectable. So flavorful and comforting. And the rolls and butter served with it are among the best bread you'll get at any restaurant. This restaurant is pretty far from me. There used to be one in Bristol, VA, but it closed years ago. I make it a point to come here around my birthday, and I'd come here a lot more often if I could! I'd love to have the opportunity to try other items on the menu and just support an amazing chain. My only complain about my visit was that there was a bit of an odor of some food that I just personally didn't like. I don't know if it was broccoli or fried shrimp. I'm not sure if it was in the kitchen or wafting from the plates on the table behind us that were not removed during the entirety of our visit. But I'm not taking off a star for it. I could've just asked to sit somewhere else and it probably would've been fine. I am overall thrilled with my visit, and I cannot recommend this place enough. It was even better than when I came last year. It has never tasted so good. And the price wasn't bad, either! I am once again begging y'all to come to Abingdon or Bristol or something. After Cracker Barrel's recent fumbles (and not a lot of real competition), the old folks (and there are many) and nostalgia-lovers (like me) need a quiet place like this to meet for breakfast and enjoy church dinners. I cannot imagine anything but success (and I guarantee they'll get a lot of business and free advertising from me!!) so please consider coming our way! I'll run the bloomin' place myself if I have to!

Today was the 3rd anniversary of us stopping off in their Johnson City, TN, location at 2010…read moreFranklin Terrace. This will be our LAST trip for several reasons, itemised below. I ordered the Gyro Platter $17.99, and one 16-ounce Hawaiian Shirt IPA $5.00. Pepper shakers at the bar were filthy and had not been cleaned. I noticed that the front inner door STILL had a homemade sign on it ( please use the other door)! From my previous service with the US Government, I informed the staff once again that the door being locked or broken was a VIOLATION of the National Fire Safety Code! One member of the staff, who identified herself as a manager, retorted that the door had been broken for years, as she walked away and refused to give her name when asked. Since both doors are required to be open in case of a fire, panic, or an active shooter issue, I found her nonchalant reply UNACCEPTABLE! I reported the violation to the Johns City, fire prevention officer, Keven Hanes, both in email and by telephone message! Knowingly violating fire codes can result in fines, lawsuits, or even loss of business licence! I do pray that Johnson City will investigate this issue and take appropriate action. As of now, this broken door violation has fully served. Fire kills thousands of people in our country every year, locking or not repairing broken exit doors is nothing short of CRIMINAL! SAFETY IS EVERYONE'S BUSINESS! Let them not wait until another group dies, unable to exit!
