“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.“

“great food and service friendly people“

“This place always looks busy and honestly thought it was just a bunch of old people who lost their sense of taste.

But man was I wrong.

It took us a while to get seated but in all fairness was it was a busy Saturday morning. Once we were greeted we were immediately sat.

Our server was so kind! The food was delicious. Biscuits and gravy, also the bacon so good.

Overall would go back! Great affordable prices too!“

“I normally would say that I recommend but not today at least at the location near RDU Airport on Easter Sunday. They stopped seating to give preference to getting all of their online orders caught up. We were told when we checked in that we would have a 25 minute wait....then they stopped seating and gave no explanation to the store full of people on the list. We waited for over an hour with nothing. I finally spoke to the manager who merely apologized and walked away. We left, went to Waffle House, and ate a good meal with great service. I am a rewards member and a regular customer but this was very bad management whether it was due to corporate greed not putting a limit on their online orders or management at the store level not having enough staff and something needs to change with this policy.“

“This was my first time visiting Blue Moose Burgers and Wings with my husband and two small children. We were seated immediately. Our server was so prompt and friendly. The food was hot, fresh, and delicious. We will definitely be back!“

“Amazing service!! Incredible menu choices. Plus most importantly the food is outstanding!!“

“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.“

“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 .“
