Restaurants in Johnson City

“We ate at the Norton location this evening and it was great! We all loved it! Keely was our waitress and was so kind! 10/10…Great service and food! We will most definitely be back!”

“The food is amazing! OMG! I can’t express how much i’m in love with their food….it is literally THE BEST!!!”

“One of my top restaurants in JC. Service is top-notch and the cuisine is even better!”

“This place is amazing, the owner is exceptionally nice, and the food is amazing!”

“Dined here for the first time. Husband and his brother had Scallops. I had the 50oz T-Bone, $150.00 with a great bottle of wine. Very nicely done. This dish came with three sides from the left side of the menu excluding one dish which was explained. Long story short I ordered the $150.00 T-Bone with the three sides being the Brussell sprouts, the potatoes and the oysters. Our server c ame back to say there would be and up charge of $5 for the oysters, maybe $8, now mind you this appetizer WAS included with the offer. When the bill came there was a up charge of $10 for the oysters. So, we went from a $5 upcharge to $10 upcharge. The tip was $75.00 which is not a problem but misinformation is.”

“The absolute best cookies. I always look forward to sundays & seeing what the new flavors are.”

“Let me just say, thank you to the girl working today she made my burger correctly with special instructions over the phone. Pleasant experiences every time I go to Vegan Town. Love the vegan quesadilla, waffles, today I got the Big Daddy burger and fries both were hot and fresh! I also enjoyed the Açaí smoothie as well. So very good with nutritional ingredients to live a vegetarian lifestyle!”

“amazing wings. only 0.75 per wing Wednesday after 5pm. good live music on weekends.”

“Food is delicious, service is fast, and the servers are attentive, without being overbearing, especially Ashley Wright, she is amazing!”

“The food is so darn flavorful and fresh. It came out SO fast as well! There’s also leftovers with these HUGE portions ?”

“Food is always great, son loves the calzone. Always quick service.”

“OH MY WORD!! Wonderful food and service. This is our new date night restaurant.”

“Mona Lisa’s always has the freshest food across the board! I’ve been many times and each time was just as perfect as the last! The Gelato is hands down one of my favorite things in JC! The staff is always super friendly and welcoming! If something is wrong (which is very rare) and they notice or are made aware of it they make it right quickly! Best place in JC, I will always keep coming back!”

“First time at this restaurant after reading many reviews. It will not be our last time! Mid City Grill season forget about fancy and focus on food and service. However, we really liked the feeling of this place. We had the Outlaw Burger with fries and the Patty Melt with sweet potato waffle fries. The way they put flavors together is fantastic. This is easily a place where you can take half of your meal home for later. We will definitely return to work our way through the menu.”

“Kyle was an awesome server.”

“Our fist time, and we will be back. Best Chinese I have ever had!”

“We always enjoy simply the best dining experience whenever we visit. The food, service, and ambience is always top notch. Recommend to all ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Excellent restaurant with a variety of options on the menu. The Popcorn chicken, fingerling potatoes, and chicken sandwich were incredible as well as the German cake.”

“Love it. Really good food and service.”

“We had lunch at this location today. The food is delicious but I have 2 comments. The penne with white clam sauce is more like Alfredo with clams in it. Delicious but not authentic. White clam sauce should just have olive oil, garlic, clams and clam juice. I cannot recommend the eggplant parmigiana at all. It was paper thin eggplant slices with a thick oily breadcrumb layer smothered in marinara and mozzarella cheese not parmesan. It was not appealing and I couldn’t eat it. But the garlic knots were the best I’ve ever had. Freshly baked and swimming in a very nice garlic butter. The salads were fresh and the calamari was perfect. So I recommend the place just not it’s authenticity and definitely not the eggplant dish!”

“Ashley is fantastic!!! Very efficient, very nice and respectful, thankful and on top of EVERYTHING!”

“This is one of our favorite Johnson City date night spots! They have a great variety of menu options as well as fun seasonal offerings and cocktails, and their drinks are soooo good! If there’s something you like that’s not on their drink menu, they totally don’t mind whipping it up for you! 🍸🍹 The serving staff is always courteous and wearing a smile…the most important part of a work uniform 😊”

“Great ambiance, service, food, drinks and wine. Being from Brazil I know what I am talking about. Ask for Julio.”

“Had a birthday dinner for friends there last night. Food was delicious, as always! Service was great! Love the atmosphere and all of the staff is wonderful.”

“Great food and great environment for families.”

“Real good food I recommend 👍”

“I honestly thought they had shut down. The menu has changed and prices went up. The food was good. I was surprised they were out of crab leg crackers. They needed more staff waiting tables. Our server was struggling because she was so busy. I felt so bad for her but she did great.”

“I have been a customer for years! Last night I picked up food to take home and it was still amazing! Best Pepper Steak in The Tri Cities!”

“Recommend they learn how to make "Shrimp with Lobster Sauce". Shrimp with lobster sauce is a popular Chinese-American dish that is often served in Chinese restaurants. The dish typically consists of shrimp, minced pork, garlic, ginger, scallions, chicken broth, soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and eggs.”

“Lovely take out place. No dine in options. The food is wonderful, and the friendly lady is quick to come out and take your order. The place does look like it has an ongoing construction project inside of it but that doesn't take away from the food!”

“When it’s 1am and no one is open Waffle House is”

“My wife and I were in the middle of another contract and traveling. The hotel that her company put us up at was directly across the street from a waffle House. It had been nearly 2 and 1/2 years since the last time I had waffle House and this place was exactly what I wanted it to be. Smothered and covered hash browns, sausage biscuits, and two delicious chicken biscuits. The counter lady was so sweet, everyone in there was just a breath of fresh air.”

“Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair but crutches and everyone was so nice opening the doors for me and everything was great it's just like eating with your family”

“having 😊❤️😊😊😊❤️❤️😊😊😊❤️❤️😊”

“I want to thank everyone here for taking care of me. I ordered via app for the store in Piney Flats, it even said it was ready to pick up, but those jokers didn’t even show up to the store today. However, I called and the Sunset dr location was open and kicking butt. They took care of me and saved my little girls birthday.”

“When you order oatmeal and you specify that you want a butters for your oatmeal and six packs of Splenda with raisins and cranberries. And as a paying customer I expect to get exactly what I asked for granted if they're only supposed to give out so many butters per oatmeal then they should specify that and tell you anything other than that you will be charged additional fees for the butter. But they did not they got you with me over the butter and I told them I would be glad to pay for it but I still did not get the butter requested. That's bad service in my eye and I run my own business I know what customers satisfaction should be.

Parking: I know the customer is not always right by any means but when a customer asks for certain things please accommodate them even if it costs them let them know there will be additional charges some people would rather pay the additional charges and get what they want then they would not get what they want to make their food taste better to them so please start accommodating customers for what they asked for business would be a whole lot better if you would do so.”

“All the dishes are great but this was the best laab I have ever eaten. The owners are very friendly and Tiffany is one of the best servers around. Order to table time is surprisingly fast. This is one of those restaurants that we need to keep open so if you haven't tried it yet please do. You will be going back.”

“Absolutely fantastic pizza! Wow. Real ingredients with real flavor. 10/10”

“I did a pickup order from The Roots. Part of our order was missing. I sent them a message on Facebook to question it. The person said for me to send them my address. He was literally here 10 minutes later with our missing pieces. And would not accept a tip. That’s customer service. Oh…and it was delicious! 😋”

“Awesome wings! I recommend the red dragon and fireball flavors. The blue cheese dip is the best I've ever had. Minnie was a great server. She made sure we had everything we needed!”

“best food I ever tasted and the prices are reasonable”

“I just picked up a veggie pizza which I have had before but not recently. The pizza was loaded with veggies and was fresh and so tasty! The lemon pie is pretty good too. Thanks for a very satisfying supper. I will definitely be back. I did not have to wait long at all.”

“My true review is a 3.5 out of 5. Let's get down to it.... I get offended by people claiming NY style when it is no where near NY style. First of all you can't claim NY and be cheap on your toppings, sauce included. At $2.50 a topping | should be having toppings in every bite and this fell short. I wanted to like them because the crust what the right flavor and crispness, and the sauce when you had it on your bite was perfection. But this was like being a teenager getting teased by your bf or gf endlessly waiting for something to happen but never does. And you're left behind wanting more but with overwhelming disappointment at the same time. I know it sounds harsh but just claim it as what it is. Take the NY style off the door unless you want to be more consistent, add extra sauce to your pizza, and quit being cheap on the toppings and make that pie greasy with goodness and you'll have something.”

“It was so calming and just what I love in coffee shops. I don’t get out often and find places I truly enjoy. I definitely recommend this place if you want a good environment, warm and the more gothic vibe❤️ I loved it.”

“We were in this plaza and this restaurant caught our eye. We are so glad we went in for lunch. It was amazing. Steamed bagel sandwiches. Never had them before but they were so good. They have breakfast options that are available all day. I got the Reedy Reuben on an everything bagel. My husband got the Steamenstein on an Asiago bagel (corned beef, pastrami, Swiss & spicy mustard).
We then each got a Tiger Paw for dessert (plain cream cheese on a French toast bagel with cinammon sugar).
Everything was delicious. The staff was super friendly and helpful. You order and pay at the counter and then they bring it out to your table. If you get a drink, you serve yourself at either the soda fountain, fresh coffee, or sweet or unsweetened iced tea.
We will definitely return often when in Johnson City.”

“Great! I had pork BBQ tray, collard greens and BBQ beans. Everything was excellent. I tried just a little of the vinegar bbq sauce base because not usually my favorite but it was very good. I used the traditional sweet southern style sauce and it was my favorite. My husband had a brisket burger and loved it! Also the smoked Mac and cheese and cornbread pudding (think that is what they called it) very very good as well. We enjoyed banana pudding for dessert! We highly recommend!!”

“The staff is always welcoming and friendly. The ice cream is awesome!!”

“My husband and I eat at eggs up in Jc. a lot. They have the best pancakes of anywhere. The food is always fresh and warm and that is important, Go into a family restaurant and ask for Katie, she will serve great food and be super nice. And please always Tip.”

“Tried for the first time yesterday and it was amazing! 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend!”

“Best food and dining experience in Johnson city!! Freibergs NEVER disappoints!!”

“Love the food here and the old time not fancy Italian restaurant atmosphere. My fav restaurant in Johnson City area.”

“Everything is so Delicious.”

“Great food, I love their calabash style!”

“Tyler is killing it at Al’s Deli! Chopped cheese was so good and the hand cut fries were incredible! Definitely go check them out!”

“Pals are a Quality, always delicious food. And I feel Clean, safe place to Trust”

“Great place to eat. Very caring people to work for. When busy they don't care one bit to jump in were needed. I can say out of all the jobs I've had in my life I don't dread going into work. I'm always anywhere from 20 to 15 mins early. I don't care to stay over. Very positive place to work as well. Everyone works together and always encourage each other.”

“The coffee is always pretty good but I don't like the atmosphere much. It's so loud with the music that gets overwhelming. But you're only in line a few minutes because they go pretty quick so I can deal with it. You can link your phone number and make points and get free drinks which is nice. But just like any other place where you get coffee if you pay with a card, it's always going to ask you the little question at the end and then the guilt trip tip solicitation. I always end up tipping even though I think tipping culture is way out of hand nowadays. I guess that kind of makes me seem like a jerk but I can think of a lot of jobs that should get a tip and don't like nurses policemen doctors correctional officers lol. Anyway the coffee's worth it.”

“Great pizza!!! Highly recommend the breadsticks too. Even better customer service. Found our new go to pizza place!!� go support a small business if you get the chance.”

“From the hostess, to service, food, and drinks it was a fantastic dinner! We truly enjoyed our experience with our 4 kids! We had the nachos, burgers, wings, caesar salads, and mac and cheese and everything was so delicious! The manager was wonderful as well. We will be back!”

“Had dinner at Kickback Jack’s in Johnson City tonight, and it was spot on! Great food, super friendly service, and we were in and out fast — just how we like it at Ship TriCities. We’ll definitely be back!”

“The food was delicious we loved the Fajitas”

“It's good coffee for the price everyone super friendly and they have kid sizes! love it”

“My husband and I went here on our anniversary. We absolutely loved it! The food, the service, the atmosphere was all perfect. We will definitely be back!”

“My first experience with AÇAÍ BOWL in Kingsport today . It was very good but I was disappointed they left off my Almond butter. 16oz is around $17, need to lower these prices. That’s very pricey. Don’t be in a hurry , it’s a very slow process. But overall it was delish”

“I eat here regularly and I can say I have never been disappointed in the food or service! They are a pretty busy place but so worth it for sure!”

“My recent visit to The Black Olive in Johnson City was a delightful experience from start to finish. My partner, Becky, had the Berry Bliss Salad with grilled chicken, and I opted for the Downtown Chicken with a side of asparagus with a vinaigrette reduction. Both dishes were absolutely amazing, bursting with fresh flavors and expertly prepared. Our server, Cam, was truly exceptional—friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect meal. The tap beverages were refreshing, and the warm, fluffy loaf of bread they brought to the table was the perfect start to our meal. Overall, this place hit all the right notes—great food, excellent service, and a warm atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!”

“It's cozy and a perfect place to take a stop at! Would recomend for anyone in the area. I loved the matcha elderberry drink and my father thought the mocha coffee was one of the best he had in the state.”

“I've been wanting to try Fuji for a long time and tonight I went there for my birthday and I was impressed by the courteous and polite staff which was a good sign. I had seen the menu as had my girlfriend so we both knew what we wanted so we gave the waitperson, I don't know his name but he did the little bow with folded hands after taking our order which came very quickly I might add. I had a drink called Magic Peach which was very tasty and very strong, the Spring Roll which were good sized crunchy and delicious, the Veggie Gyozyas which were fried to perfection and yummy and lastly the Avocado Roll from the Classic Menu also as good as any I've had. So all in all it was great way to spend my birthday eve, I give Fuji 5 stars! I look forward to my next visit!”

“Took company to Project BBQ, everyone loved everything!! My husband and I had sampler plate, and was soooo delicious, brisket melted In my mouth, wonderful flavor, pulled pork which is my favorite was so so tender and savory, well seasoned, sausage had a great flavor, i am not a Spicy girl, but my husband devoured it!!! Staff was friendly and attentive! Will definitely be back!!”

“Visited from Florida today and so glad I chose to stop here Corbin was super nice and I absolutely loved my latte! I will definitely be going back!”

“Some of the best food and not to mention the most quirkiest of restaurants. The menu is printed on newspaper stock, so fun. It’s a must do in Johnson City. The Key Lime Pie will absolutely make your taste buds sing !! Kenneth and Randy”

“This place has the absolute BEST Asian food. I got the shrimp and chicken teriyaki with double shrimp and chicken. The portions were fantastic and the flavor was out of this world. My girlfriend got the chicken teriyaki and loved hers too!”

“Homemade ice cream in a variety of expected American and delightfully delicious Mexican flavors. I think my wife and I have found a new favorite ice cream shop (or should I say paleteria. � )”

“10/10 recommend. Michael is the best. Promote that guy! Will definitely be back many times.”

“We had never been here, but The Down Home was recommended to us a while back. Our party of five stopped in for the first half of an Alexis Wax concert/fundraiser for Erwin. The venue is quaint, but there are plenty of smaller booths and tables for four (we grabbed a spare chair to accommodate us), and a bar selling beer and wine, water is there for free. Food is also available, and everything is posted on their website. The sound was good, we all enjoyed our time, and we look forward to returning when we can stay longer. Definitely recommend The Down Home for live music in Johnson City.”

“Amazing GF selection. The chicken was crispy, tender and juicy. I had the fried pickles and hush puppies, both were delicious. If you need GF this is the place for you.”

“The best breakfast place in JC.”

“Loved sitting outside on the patio, got some signature dishes and everything came out so fast and fresh. Absolutely delicious. Donald was my bartender/server and was very attentive and helpful and made a perfect margarita! Will be back”

“very good place to dine .”

“To jeanandedeats, just doing the math, three or four people does not make a large group.”

“We ordered Wahaca tonight via UberEats. Hands down the best Mexican food we’ve had in the Tricities. Everything was fresh and had its own unique flavor. We will definitely be return customers.”

“Ashley is fantastic!!! Very efficient, very nice and respectful, thankful and on top of EVERYTHING!”

“Jean was absolutely fantastic! She was so sweet and took our order quickly. Our drinks were never empty and food was incredible! This is how service is supposed to be I don't think we have ever had a better server. We will be back. Great service, great food great prices!”

“This place is fantastic! I ordered 5 small sandwiches, all with different toppings and each one being a different sandwich. The girl with the glasses was very helpful when ordering and the tall man with long-ish hair was very friendly. They got out food out quick and hot. 10/10 would recommend. The whole family loved it!!!”

“Greg’s Pizza is the best!! But the people in the JC store are awesome!! If you want a great atmosphere drop in they are always up beat!! Go to Greg’s!!!!”

“Owner is wonderful, service is great, food is exceptional. U gotta go to this fabulous restaurant!!!!!!!!!”

“To jeanandedeats, just doing the math, three or four people does not make a large group.”

“So it’s $10 to get in and a free appetizer That’s misleading!!! It’s a small bag of chips or a can soda or a slice of little ceasers pizza That’s not an appetizer!!! Very misleading you need to change this Very disappointed i And also you can’t even get the so called appetizer till after 10 pm”

“Great ambiance, service, food, drinks and wine. Being from Brazil I know what I am talking about. Ask for Julio.”

“The gumbo was super and gave me the taste of mobile!!!! Don’t miss out!!!”

“This place is amazing, the owner is exceptionally nice, and the food is amazing!”

“I discovered this place while DoorDashing back in March '25. Prior to leaving, I knew I had to buy a box and the cookies were amazing but since then, I have stopped by nearly every week to buy two boxes. I recommend this Place to any and everyone”

“A beautiful place to enjoy breakfast or lunch! As a first time visitor, I was very satisfied with the excellent food and service. Everyone one there was friendly and courteous. I definitely will be back to try more delicious food there.”

“Kyle was an awesome server.”

“I normally would say that I recommend but not today at least at the location near RDU Airport on Easter Sunday. They stopped seating to give preference to getting all of their online orders caught up. We were told when we checked in that we would have a 25 minute wait....then they stopped seating and gave no explanation to the store full of people on the list. We waited for over an hour with nothing. I finally spoke to the manager who merely apologized and walked away. We left, went to Waffle House, and ate a good meal with great service. I am a rewards member and a regular customer but this was very bad management whether it was due to corporate greed not putting a limit on their online orders or management at the store level not having enough staff and something needs to change with this policy.”

“Awesome wings! I recommend the red dragon and fireball flavors. The blue cheese dip is the best I've ever had. Minnie was a great server. She made sure we had everything we needed!”

“We ate at the Norton location this evening and it was great! We all loved it! Keely was our waitress and was so kind! 10/10…Great service and food! We will most definitely be back!”

“Quite a delightful establishment. I patronize them for breakfast one morning while a group of nurses next to me seemed to enjoy several rounds of mimosas. Might I recommend the omelette with pepper jack, feta, and avocado. It was not half bad.”

“Our fist time, and we will be back. Best Chinese I have ever had!”
