“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Sippin’ with Shirley at The Reserve was an absolute blast! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was fun, welcoming, and just the right amount of classy. Shirley was the perfect host—knowledgeable, engaging, and so good at breaking down each cocktail recipe in a way that made us feel like pros. We learned how to make four delicious cocktails, each with its own twist, and got hands-on with mixing, shaking, and garnishing. Whether you’re a cocktail newbie or a seasoned sipper, this class is a must. Shirley’s energy and expertise made the whole experience unforgettable. 🍸 Highly recommend for a night out with friends, a date night, or anyone looking to level up their mixology game! Cheers to Shirley and The Reserve!”

“We ate here on May 18th we took our son here to celebrate him graduating . We had to wait for about 30 mins but we knew that and understood. Our silverware was a little dirty, the food was delicious however when our food was brought out to our table my steak medallions wasn't ready I was told they ran out and had to cut more and it would be a few more minutes. I just got a to go box for mine. So overall the only complaint I would have would be the silverware and having to wait a little longer on my food was all. The food was amazing and our waitress was very nice. This was our sons first time eating here and he's already talking about eating there again.”

The food was very well priced and I loved that you could order off the menu instead of just buffet as I can only eat a half a cup of food or liquid at a time. The food came out and it was amazing. We were shocked at how fresh and wonderful everything was. If you haven’t eaten here please do!”

Thank you so much for the wonderful cupcakes and service today!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We stopped by Chef’s Pizza downtown and had such a wonderful experience! Their system was down, and we didn’t realize it when we ordered, but the staff was so kind and told us our meal was on the house. That kind of generosity and customer service is rare these days, and it truly made our day! The pizza was absolutely delicious, and the salad bar was fresh and full of great options. We’ll definitely be back—thank you for going above and beyond!”

“This is the absolute best place to get a gluten free sub! It's also rare to have that around here. Besides Dominos with a gluten free pizza, your choices are limited. I recommend going to see them today. Food is delicious here. I chose to get oil & vinegar with my veggie sub. The spices add an extra hint of flavor. It stays busy so that's a downside. You'll have to wait a while sometimes. However, if you have allergies, it's worth it. Staff are friendly.”

“🌟 A Hidden Gem in Kingsport! 🌟 Krazy Chicken International is hands-down one of the best dining experiences in town. From the moment you walk through the doors, you’re greeted by a team that’s not just friendly—they’re genuinely welcoming and attentive. The staff here go above and beyond to make you feel at home, and it shows in every interaction. Now let’s talk about the Taco Salad—it’s nothing short of phenomenal. Fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavor, it’s the kind of dish that keeps you coming back. The ingredients are top-notch, the seasoning is spot-on, and the presentation makes it feel like a celebration on a plate. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Kingsport, Krazy Chicken International is a must-visit. Great food, amazing service, and a vibe that’s amazing!”

“The Sullivan Central Class of 2005 just celebrated our 20th year high school reunion at The Sports Mill and loved it so much that the class is planning another gathering this year. Matt Henderson curated the event and assisted with finding a local food truck during the height of Fun Fest (which is no small feat). Great atmosphere and multiple options on draft and a fridge of popular beverages. They even made slushies! Folks had indoor and outdoor options for relaxing and everyone tried the simulation games for friendly competition. Definitely a night to remember!”

“Always a great sandwich, ingredients are definitely more fresh than other subways I've been to. However, it doesn't seem as though they have pepper jack cheese. So that's unfortunate”

“We’ve been here many times now so I figured it was time for a review and everytime it is spot on! The food is delicious and they aim to please their customers. We’ve had the subs, the pizza, the bbq, the wings, the burgers, and the salads. Never an issue. Kingsport has the best Beef O’ Brady’s hands down.”

“Best burger & fries around! 😋”

“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 .”

“My pet peeve.. being pulled up to wait on my food. Being that it was only one regular roast beef, 2 sliders and a potato cake. Please stop doing that especially for small orders. I don't usually go to this location because it's inside a convenience store. But the food was good and the employees were very polite.”

“I recently bought a new location in Kingsport and I’m so tired of fast food! I fount this place and have been going for several weeks now about once a week. The food is absolutely delicious I’ve only had the hot dogs and chickens sandwich and fries and beans but can vouch every time the food is hot and fresh! Doesn’t make you feel bloated and love the atmosphere! Very nice place for lunch!”

My friend, who has traveled the world and is a connoisseur of seafood, remarked more than once about the excellence of our food. Our waitress, Kim, was as fine as the food ! It's not everyday that food and service both achieve such high marks. Bravo, Fisherman's Dock of Kingsport, Tennessee !”

“We had a great time at the Pit Stop!! The bartender was an amazing person. She was very friendly and attentive. Karaoke was a blast the bartender can really sing.

“We went to Applebee’s on 7/25. It was one of the best experiences. Only complaint is that the AC couldn’t keep up with the heatwave but completely understandable. Our server, Joey, was the kindest, most courteous and well mannered server we have had in a while. His appearance was clean cut and service was top notch. What a sweet guy. Please be sure to recognize his skill and mannerisms. He deserves it.”
