12 Best Southern Restaurants near Johnson City

“Food is great. But I have to say the service needs work. Had a bad experience with a pickup order where part of my order had been missed. Instead immediately I get a response from the first voice telling me snarkily that “no there were none on that order, I filled it myself”. To which I had to had to read off my email confirmation for my order. I then get 2 minutes of silence. When the voice comes back it tells me, “oh, those will be here to pick up when you get here.” So I ask, “so I have to make a second trip? Is there anything you can offer on my order because it was left off in order to make up for the 20 minute round trip I have to make?” (The voice has no idea how to answer my question.) I finally drive the ten minutes to the location to get the rest of my order, and the same snarky voice is at the pickup window. I get a quick apology from a manager and the remainder of my order. But I’ve been in customer service for 20 years… One should make an attempt to not just apologize, but to compensate for the effort a customer had to go through for the businesses mistake. To do otherwise, implies indifference. I got nothing from them. No, here’s a few extra biscuits to make up for the trouble. Or a coupon for your next visit. Nope. Just snarky voices and a quick apology. Honestly if we didn’t have food allergies and liked the food, I wouldn’t go back. Definitely gonna have on my list of places I may need a break from… it won’t help if I like the food if it gives me high blood pressure because of the staff. Please train your staff better. Less attitude would be great. And as painful as the phrase can be “the customer is always right”— Legit it’s best to not call your customers liars right off the bat.“

“loved they're biscuits and the chicken was crispy. also the tea was good. Az crew“

“Consistently good service and great food! They have a really nice selection of bourbons/whiskies and good bartenders. Bartenders will come to your table and ask questions sometimes to ensure they get it right. It’s not just their smoked meats that are so good either, their sides are terrific! The fried ocra is like my grandmother used to make.“

“Amazing food! Fish sandwich with mustard and hot sauce and sweet potato fries sauced up with some mango habanero sauce are so good!“

“My girlfriend and I had Valentine's Day dinner here. It was our first time eating here. I had the salmon and she had beef tips. Both meals were delicious. We finished with dessert. I had cheesecake and she had had bananas foster. Again both were scrumptious. The server was studious and cheerful. The ambiance was cheerful. We will definitely return.“

“Came today for a late breakfast. Ordered the Hash Bowl and my fiance had the biscuits and gravy and a side of candied bacon.
His food was good. Not great. Mine on the other hand, I had to send back. Was room temperature and crudely thrown together. Another was promptly brought out. You can tell the ingredients don't touch a pan, it's just thrown together like a child might do. It was edible but not something I would recommend. Also....to charge almost $11 for this and it to have the presentation it is does is just bad business.
They didn't provide complimentary snickers oodles biscuits though, due to the long wait on our food.
Might go again and try a biscuit dish.
Staff was friendly but the food is mid.“

“We love coming here it’s a great place to relax. The food is great the staff is great, we generally wait a very short time for our food. We very rarely get pix of our food because we dive right in.
Thank you Cheddar’s, we’ll keep coming back 👍🏻
We both had the chicken pot pie today, really awesome, maybe it goes without saying on a good pot pie, but the crust was the best part. 😃“
