11 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Elizabethton

“I have never had a rude person. I have been going there about a year. The food is always good. Today I tried to go into the restaurant but my hip would not allow me to step up onto the entrance. So they brought my food out to me. The staff are very polite. It is a pleasure to go to J’s Corner. And I like that they close on Sunday now.“

“I got a sugar free cinnamon roll chiller with caramel drizzle (photo provided) and my husband got a blonde iced coffee with caramel drizzle and cold foam. The service was spectacular and I wish I could remember their names. We are first time customers and drove an HOUR to get here from Mountain City. WORTH. IT.“

“Some places are just coffee shops… and then there’s this one. ☕️ This isn’t just where I grab my morning coffee—it’s part of my daily routine, something I genuinely look forward to. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a smile that feels real, not rushed. The kind of welcome that sets the tone for your whole day. Over time, it’s become more than a stop—it’s a connection. The staff aren’t just employees, they’re familiar faces, friendly conversations, and little moments of kindness that stick with you long after you leave. Good coffee is easy to find. But a place that makes you feel known, welcomed, and appreciated? That’s something special. Grateful to have a spot like this in my everyday life.“

“The people who talk down on Riverside Taphouse don't come here as often as me and my wife does. Me and my wife live right across the road from this establishment. We met at the taphouse. My wife and I both grew up in this same area. We met here. This is the most comfortable, clean and people oriented establishment. We would rather come here over Jiggy rays in elizabethton or numans in Johnson city tn any day. They are family friendly and pet oriented. We have brought our pets here and they treat our pets and our kids like they are our their own. The incident that happened with the crazy lady in the parking lot was handled by the owners of riverside and the ELIZABETHTON POLICE DEPT. Nothing ever happens at riverside that should require police so that incident was only brought on by the lady who wanted to act childish. We love Cheri, Michael and Hunter. They are family to us and to others in the community.“

“Food was excellent & the customer service was even better.“

“Received only 1 piece of Alaska white fish with my combo (should have been 2 pieces). The fish meat was very thin and the skin was black, I had to pick it with my fingers. Waitress brought a second piece that was the same (thin and black). My dinner partner has two nice golden brown think pieces of fish. The other food was very good. However this was a disappointing experience.“

“Love it here! Amazing food and staff!“
