Down Home American • $
300 W Main St, Johnson City - 8.4 miles

“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.“

“Their sign is very enticing & I'll always choose a mom & pop over a chain restaurant so I accompanied a couple coworkers for lunch. The woman taking orders was abrupt, but not rude. I opted for the lunch special: chuckwagon sandwich, onion rings & drink for $6.99. Our food was ready sooner than expected with a bit of a crowd in the restaurant. The chuckwagon sandwich was tasty with lettuce, tomato & the perfect amount of mayo. Onion rings were actual onions with a smooth, crunchy batter & were still piping hot when I received them. Although not the best lunch I've had working in this area, I would definitely return & would recommend this restaurant for a tasty, no-frills meal.“

“We were in Johnson City a few weeks ago and had the foresight to make reservations at Timber! Now we can’t get the place out of our heads. Blame the butternut squash soup. It’s the kind of bowl that resets your compass. It was robust, earthy, and layered. One spoonful and I knew I was ruined for other soups. We live far away; that’s the tragedy. This soup still lives rent-free in my head.

We ran the table with small, medium, and one large plate. Each was built by someone who respects ingredients, heat, time, and seasoning. The textures snapped together like a well-built puzzle. The room itself was large, but shoulder-to-shoulder and loud, and that’s fine by me. I didn’t want a library. I wanted a place where the staff and kitchen worked like they meant it.

The drinks weren’t decoration; they pulled their own weight. The bar knew its business. We told them what we liked, and they steered with confidence. The service had that rare combination of ease and intent: plates landed hot, nobody explained the obvious, and nobody disappeared. Exactly what a restaurant should strive for.

We left full, and then spent the next few weeks lamenting a simple fact: we may never have a bowl of butternut squash soup this good again, not without a plane ticket.

If you’re anywhere near Johnson City, go. Book a table. Let the kitchen talk. That soup will follow you home.“
