Yes you will be paying more. But you should already know that before you walk in. Total class. Zach was very attentive. Very considerate. We shared a few dinners. The Tomahawk for 2. Out of this world. The Goat Cheese salads and the Little Gem were amazing. And we ordered the Strip for 2. Everything about this experience was memorable. And we will treasure it for a long time.

Came here on a whim after another place didnât work out. Amazing brunch! Really good variety and fun use of seafood for brunch (thereâs also non-seafood options so no worries). Mimosas and bloody Maryâs were great too. Lots of food and very reasonable prices. Highly recommend.

Everything that we have ever ordered, we have been huge fans of! The bbq flavor in the meat is smoky, tender, and delicious! The ribs, brisket, pork belly, chicken, hamburgers, well everything that is on the menu is mouthwatering. They have a huge menu that makes it hard to make a decision, we have solved that problem by being frequent diners. Our favorite appetizer is the potatoes and pork belly. Oh my gosh, that is so good! Itâs a meal in itself.

"Where do you want to go to eat tonight, Honey?" often leads to a short list of restaurants in Johnson City but almost always, Cootie Brown's is on that list. Nothing exceptional here but everything good and the menu is vast. Servers it seems are lacking some enthusiasm most visits but food does arrive timely in a festive, bright, cheery environment.

Went to Cheddars on a whim with some friends. Food was great. I did have the famously talked about burger and it was so good. Fries were done crispy just like I requested. Staff was friendly and the waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable. Had a great time.

On my first visit, I didn't expect much & was I in for a treat! We had maple-roasted Brussels Sprouts for an appetizer. The Strawberry Spinach Salad with candied cashews, goat cheese & topped with raspberry vinaigrette was tasty by itself. However, when topped by a nice size blackened salmon fillet, it was over the top! Many diners were eating sushi from the large menu & it looked good. Nice wine list, too.

This is not a typical BBQ dive. It's a pretty large restaurant more towards the upscale end with an upstairs section where seating is a bit more intimate. Unlike most BBQ restaurants, this one also serves steak. The pimento cheese dip appetizer is AWESOME and you can get extra chips if they run out before dip does. The pulled pork is great. Brisket is better than average. Chicken sandwich (The Volunteer) is juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The steak fries are crispy and flavorful. The BBQ beans have a perfectly spicy kick. The staff is very attentive, courteous, and professional. No slouches or sloppy servers. Prices are targeted exactly where they should be for the quality of food and level of service.

We were traveling through here on a Sunday and stopped for brunch. Excellent dishes and extremely friendly service. Would be on the top of my list if I was in Johnson City again. We had a mix at our table of quiche and omelettes, all very good.

The only pizza operations in the region with our own farm! We grow lots of food for our restaurants at our own River Creek Farm here in East Tennessee. We also source from about 30 other local producers throughout the year. We take food seriously, and you

Went there based on the high TA rating and were not disappointed. Our server, Kyla, was attentive, friendly, and made excellent recommendations. The loaded fettucini alfredo was a standout and the wings and cheese bread appetizers were superior. Surprsisingly, the pizza was my least favorite item ordered. While the crust was delicious, the sauce was a bit strong and the sausage too spicy for my taste. The pie would have also benefitted from more cheese (we expected it to be similar to the cheese bread), but my husband loved it. Can't wait to go back (even though it is 50+ miles from home)!

Nice waitstaff, but I found the food average. Tried the deep fried ribs for an appetizer and they were under cooked. Price was good. Under $20 for a meal and appetizer.
