“I recently officiated a wedding at Thomas Farm in Kingsport Tennessee and had so much fun! The bartender Rhonda went out of her way to make sure everyone was accommodated, refreshed, and kept an eye on any roudyness that might occur. I met so many vendors there but Rhonda was the best in customer service for everyone! Almost 100 people and she worked her tail off. Hats off to you Rhonda! I'll see you at the next wedding!!”

“This is the perfect place for excellent food, chill atmosphere, friendly staff, perfect beverages, a stellar head brewer and two owners who pay attention to every detail. Shop local. Shop small. This is a must try and a routine stop every week.”

“best chicken livers I've ever ate. beans & greens are awesome as well as the service & atmosphere”

“We used to go to the Corryton location regularly until it closed. I went to the store in Halls tonight, and the sandwiches were as good as ever. Prices have pretty much remained the same. Great food!”

“The Burgers is a gem! The chicken Philly is our go-to, and it’s consistently delicious every time we visit. The flavors are spot-on, and the quality never wavers. It’s easily one of our favorite spots to eat. Highly recommend!”

“We ate breakfast here last week and it was so good that we are back again for breakfast. The eggs, sausage, biscuit and gravy were delicious. We will be eating here anytime we are back home in Tennessee. The price is really reasonable too.”

“El Indio is…INTENSE. The restaurant is long and narrow, with only one aisle, creating a freeway of activity in the center. All staff wear earpieces, taking instructions and hurrying around at a frenzied pace. Guests in this aisle instinctively pick up their pace to match. This is NOT a Mexican restaurant where you feel at leisure nor will you experience a laid back discussion with the staff. However, it is interesting to watch the military style activity. The food has been delicious during all my visits. The pork chops can be a bit overcooked, but many prefer it that way. The menu is extensive and the prices are great.”

“We had a group of 30 Jeeps stop in there after the Halls Christmas parade and our entire group had 1 server. At first I was a bit concerned but he was phenomenal! All of our orders were taken correctly, the food was hot and amazing, and it all came out together! I’ve eaten there a bunch and always had excellent services and delicious food!”

“I would recommend Gondolier to everyone. We had another restaurant who refused to allow us to have our baby shower. I called Gondolier 2 days prior to our planned date and they were extremely accomodating. The serving staff was so so helpful, patient and kind. The food was wonderful. We didn't realize until we got up to leave that we had stayed 30 minutes past their closing time, but they patiently waited until we departed without saying anything about us needing to leave. We had a wonderful time and will certainly go again and again. Thank you so much!”

“I've eaten at China Inn more times than Ive eaten with my family. And I regret NOTHING!! I've never in my life said, Oh I shouldn't have eaten China Inn. My only regrets were the times I didn't eat at China Inn. Like on Thanksgiving and Easter. When the Lord comes back I HOPE I'm at China Inn. I could eat China Inn 100 days in a row and then be sentenced to die, and when they asked me what I wanted for my last meal, I'd say China Inn! If you hate China Inn then you have bigger problems than a Chinese restaurant because you need Jesus! If you hate China Inn then don't go to heaven because there is one right next to my mansion. If you hate China Inn then you should sue your taste buds. If you hate China Inn then your parents are ashamed of you. If you hate China Inn then you can bet that's where your wife's boyfriend is taking her tonight. I like China Inn. 5 TRILLION STARS!!!!”
