American Restaurants near Blountville

“I love this dock and the Resturant is awesome. The people that work there show true southern hospitality.“

“There is a breakfast spot in the Tri-Cities that requires an airline ticket, a boarding pass, and at least one shoe removal to access.
This makes it, by default, the most exclusive restaurant in town.

Welcome to Tailwinds.

Let’s set expectations correctly. This is not a life-changing meal. No angels sang. No one wept. But for an airport cafe? It’s solid. Respectable. Competently executed.

Eggs are cooked to order on a flat top. Sausage and toppings are actually cooked there, not reanimated from a steam tray. The bagels and muffins come from a bakery (as they should), and the whole operation feels like someone cared at least a reasonable amount.

This morning’s order: a simple egg muffin with cheddar and Canadian ham. Warm, balanced, did what it was supposed to do. Paired with a Tropicana orange juice because sometimes you just lean into the moment.

They’ve got coffee, espresso, and even a blended juice bar with fruit blended to order, which feels wildly ambitious for an airport in the Tri-Cities and deserves mild applause.

It’s good food. Not incredible. But good.
And sometimes, especially before a flight, that’s exactly what you want.“

“Always happy to visit 620 State for their sushi or grilled salmon!“

“Our office scheduled a Christmas party at the Axe house. The menu we selected was served buffet style and was very tasty, particularly the smoked meatloaf. The staff was very attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. I would definitely recommend it!“

“I came here with my son while on a trip to Bristol Motor Speedway. The food was absolutely wonderful, and we were treated like family. This is such a wonderful, welcoming place.“

“best food and drinks in downtown bristol!“

“Really nice people cooking real good . Home style cooking done good .
Food was tasty and fresh and the service didn't disappoint.
Friendly fast and accommodating.
I'll definitely be back to try the weekly lunch specials .“

“I remember eating here they have some of the best soul food. I wonder if they're still open? I know that it says on Google it open at 11:00 a.m. but when I went on Google maps it had an empty storefront as of late last year. I don't know if it's the same place or not.“

“We visit here frequently. Love the people and food. We enjoy the fish and chips, rattlesnake pasta, seafood pasta, chicken tenders with sweet potato fries, and beverages. The deserts are amazing. Especially the keylime pie. Service is always great. Very friendly environment. Highly recommend.“

“OMGoodness!!! J Frank's has got competition now! Brooklyn Grill & Cafe was so good in all ways! This felt very upscale, for a decent price. The flavors were delicious, the portions were huge, and I mean huge. My filet mignon was bigger than any I've ever seen and for a very reasonable price too! He got the ribeye and he was very happy with the flavor and taste as well.
Everything was cooked to perfection, even the salad was delicious.
The service was top notch. You can really tell, they are aiming for excellence.
We had two steak dinners, with side salads, 2-Yuenglings, and a piece of homemade cheesecake to share, oh so delicious, although wasn't necessary, I'm glad we didn't pass on it.
The entire bill plus tip 25%, was around $150. Very worth it for this upscale of a meal and classy atmosphere. This is the place to celebrate important events for sure.

It is really rather stylish looking inside, with some fun things outside to take pictures with.
Top notch A++“

“We stopped in the Hard Rock Casino in Bristol, TN. We have had good meals at the Hard Rock in Orlando, London, Iceland and Portugal. This Hard Rock in Bristol did not disappoint. Close to us was Ed Sheeran’s long-sleeve shirt; Olivia Newton John’s dress and a Willie Nelson’s guitar on display. \n\nIt is rather a huge place with plenty of tables and booths. The service was prompt and friendly. \n\nMy wife enjoyed her salad. My daughter enjoyed the Salmon over pasta. It was done just perfectly. \n\nOur waiter recommended the Chicken Sliders for me. The three sliders did come out moist, tasty and fulfilling. There was plenty of “crunch” with the chicken. We did notice the table next to us enjoying a Hard Rock Café dessert.\n\nFor three people our bill came to be about $100. What we did notice about the bill was that Virginia placed an “extra” tax of $5 on our food. We had not encountered that policy before. If this Hard Rock was just built a mile over, we would have been in Tennessee where there wasn’t any “extra” tax. \n\nOverall, we were pleasantly surprised on how good our lunch was. 5 Stars here at this Hard Rock, minus the extra tax of course.“

“Best catfish ever! Great place to eat.“

“We picked this hotel because of its proximity to the Metro. Honestly you don't even need to go outside (except under an overhang) to catch the train. We were recognized at the front desk as diamond members, and given a room on an Executive Floor. Wonderful larger than usual room. One limitation was that we hoped to ask our housekeeper for extra decaf coffee in the room, but she did not speak English. She gave us herbal teas instead. We didn't feel strongly enough to pursue it. However, her housekeeping in our room was impeckable. Fresh towels every day! The executive lounge was a welcome respit as usual. I've seen reviews that state that the food was a bit repetitious and boring and sometimes lukewarm. That was true. Yet it was always substantial and we were so thankful for it. It took me a couple days to figure out the expresso machine, but that too we did not ask about. Evening hors d'ouvres were nice to have. We parked on the property and there were no issues. We felt welcome and that they were there to serve us everywhere we went in the hotel. Thank you.“

“We absolutely LOVE Drakes!! We went yesterday (Wednesday), around 2pm and service was fast. I don’t remember our waiters name, but she had tattoos and was extremely pretty. She was so wonderfully sweet!! She took the time to explain the menu, what she recommended and to tell us about their ingredients. Def recommend Drakes in Bristol, TN!!“

“Kingsport Cracker Barrel is the best! We love to eat there as a couple or with family and friends. The food is delicious, especially the breakfast menu. The people are excellent. We so appreciate the good folk who serve us .“

“Wonderful owners and staff and the best seafood in this area“

“My husband purchase a strawberry cake for my birthday. It was the most delicious cake I have ever eaten! Absolutely wonderful!“

“Amazing atmosphere, awesome sound system to match the variety of entertainment, delicious noms, and incredible management! Highly recommended for a fun time with friends and even a night out for yourself!“

“Food was delicious. Service was excellent. I went both days I was in town because of the very high quality. Highly recommend.“

“The atmosphere at this Applebee's is great, warm, homey and all around friendly people.
Cory Q, is an excellent, waitress. Very professional yet friendly who goes beyond her duty to make you feel like you are her only customer among all the others. She actually listens to your requests and goes about making them happen. Thank you Cory for your excellent and friendly service.“

“Came in as soon as they opened, Catherine was the member that took our order, she was extremely nice and attentive. The food was amazing! We had the Turkey Avocado and the Brisket melt as well as loaded fries and tots. If you haven't tried the meaty sauce I highly recommend. It was a wonderful experience“

“This is a quaint spot with good home cooking. You can't beat the price. It is not what you would expect if you are not a local. So if you are from the city, then I can not give this spot 5 stars for you. But if you are from the country, this is a 5 star spot. Grab a drink from the cooler, go to the counter to place your order and have a seat. We stopped in for dollar hot dog day.

Parking: We found parking in front and walked right in. Would be easy access for a wheelchair.“

“Tried for the first time tonight! So good and very reasonable to feed my 3 big guys and myself! The pulled pork is good even without the sauce but the sauce is great! The Carolina vinegar based sauce is good too! The beans and tater tots were great! Great option for those crazy evenings with 3 different sports going on and a hungry family on a budget.“

“I've been trying their sandwiches and spreads for years. I finally tried their seasonal "Caramel Apple Spider" drink and it was literally the best thing ever! Please support small business and shop local! Especially inclusive places ☺️“

“This is the cleanest and most well ran Waffle House I've been in and I've been all over the country. Our server Justin was great and the staff all said hello the moment we walked in. I can't emphasize how clean. Tables were cleared and cleaned the moment parties got up and the food was fast and delicious. 👌🏼🧇“

“good eating anytime day or night“

“We for first time at Waffle house Bristol! We were Very Pleased and we will return this wk as we're visiting for a couple days. Our waitress was kind very professional 🤗💐C you soon. Oh let's not forget the chef! Food was Great 👍😃“

“10/10 Food was great and customer service was great. Loved the people there when I went 100% recommend going and I will go back when I'm back down that way“

“Great place. good staff and bands. need to bring back Dj ghost it was a lot funner when we had dance music. all in all a good place.“

“Came here for the first time this morning. We’ve been in TN for 2 years and we just found this place. Wish we would have found it sooner. This place is a clean as a whistle and the food comes out hot and plenty. I had country fried steak and eggs with pancakes and husband had the big steak omelette with toast. The wait staff and hostess made us feel welcomed from the time we entered. Don’t sleep on this place. You won’t regret it.“

“I got the lemon pepper salmon and it was probably the best salmon I’ve ever had in a while. The coleslaw wasn’t that good and the broccoli was too hard for my liking but other than that it was great. The women’s bathroom is clean and the service was awesome we had 10 people and the guy who took our order got everything perfect“
