“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.“

“Had the Classic Chicken and fries. Of course I had to have the honey croissant at the beginning. The food was excellent for the price paid. My server Kimberly was very attentive and did a great job refilling my drinks and bringing me different sauces.

I paid $13.12 for the huge chicken sandwich with fries and iced tea and of course the croissant. Will definitely come back the next time I’m in Johnson City“

“Celebrated my Birthday, Great Experience, Great Service, and Great Food.“

“I never post to the internet but I am posting my first restaurant review ever. We enjoyed a fabulous meal this evening at Timber. My only regret is we did not find this restaurant sooner. I will say that this restaurant is for the more adventurous diner. We decided to create our own tapas dinner. From the starter menu we chose warm stuffed dates and the spicy potato hand pie. From the small plate menu we ordered the brussel sprouts, and they may be the best brussel sprouts I have ever eaten. From the main menu we decided to share the braised chicken legs. Every part of this dining experience was fantastic. Iris provided outstanding service and guidance with the menu. Timber is not the fanciest restaurant but the food was incredible. Iris told us that parts of the menu change every week and I would highly suggest making reservations ahead of time. It is not the type of restaurant where I will eat every week, but it will certainly be on our rotation. They do have hamburgers and fried chicken sandwiches for the less adventurous diners. I truly hope that others in Johnson City discover this gem and support it. Wow just wow! We used to drive to Asheville to eat at restaurants like the Admiral but there is no reason to make that trip anymore. Enjoy!“

“We have eaten at White Duck Taco locations in Asheville, NC, and Chattanooga, TN, so when we saw there was one in Johnson City - attached to Yee Haw Brewing no less! - we knew this was our dinner spot on a recent trip. Did not disappoint. All the tacos are good but we loved the Bahn Mi and the Shrimp and Grits tacos! White Duck’s menu is fun, creative, affordable, and always tasty.“

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

“The Food is Really Good but when you Leave off over half of the Order on a to go order For a $17.00 Omelet, well that just Doesn't set right with me. Per the Menu: Fresh Start Omelet -Three-egg omelet filled with chicken sausage, mushrooms, red & green bell peppers, tomatoes, caramelized onions, feta cheese, provolone cheese and spinach. Served with your choice of hash browns, home fries or fresh fruit. My Order: Fresh Fresh Start Omelet. There were No Hash browns no Fruit. Omelet was ok but enough Oil in to go container to Grease My Truck.“

“We Love Waffle House! My kids love coming here and getting breakfast for dinner. As for this location, our most recent visit was great! Good food, good service. Our food was brought out quickly everything tasted great.
My only complaint, I have a family of 5 including 3 toddlers & it was challenging seating wise. Our booth was quite small & the table got crowded quickly.“

“I always enjoy visiting this location. Tonight on a snow alert and early shut down we still had a great meal and service

R Fox our server creates atmosphere and is intelligent when it comes to service. He does a great job interacting and pulling guests into a fun enjoyable mood. Great job and great table side service.“

Kahner gave us excellent service & Krystal is top notch at the grill. If my husband has an appetite after his appointment, his favorite meal is from Waffle House.
